Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Thunder Slash! Thunder Sacrifice Surge Cannon

When the shout from his companion responsible for monitoring the battlefield on the escort ship reached his ears, they couldn’t believe it. They turned around again and saw that the four mechas that were in their group three minutes ago had turned into a field of scattered debris.
It was that mecha again!
Inside the Star Thief group, there was an uproar. Eight Reapers, a full eight adventure-class mechas, and the Broken Axe Pirate Group, which had only developed a fleet of forty adventure-class mechas to this day, had one-fifth of its assets destroyed by this “tortoise shell.”
This was unacceptable for this group of star thieves who originally planned to travel. This had far exceeded their expectations. When the command orders came from the Near-Earth Escort Ship, this group of star thieves immediately divided in half again, six of them!
Six Reapers drove straight towards them, which greatly reduced the pressure on the mechas defending the military.
The members of the Fourth Guard inside the mountain were at a loss for words. Was this really their soldier, Marcus? Now, his mecha’s rapid fire gun was still in the warehouse, but he used a sword and a shield to cleave apart eight mechas of the same adventure class.
“Officer, they are dividing their forces again!” The observer beside him reminded him. The major looked closely and indeed saw three mechas splitting off each from the rearguard and charging units.
The star thieves’ assaulting mechas reduced in number again. They were no longer planning to engage in close-quarters combat but switched to pouring firepower from the outer perimeter. It was a good opportunity, and the long-lost sound of counterattacking fire from the military echoed once again!
Mu Fan looked at the six Reapers that appeared on the screen this time and frowned. After several defenses and normal consumption, his energy reserves were at 72%. Now, these six Reapers were encircling him from all directions. If he went for a shield defense, the difficulty would increase exponentially.
No, avoid battles on open ground; switch to alley fighting!
Mu Fan controlled the RX-16 to run forward, noticing a district of buildings on the left front, and quickly darted into it. The Reapers behind him also stopped charging their shoulder cannons. The hateful enemy, they actually controlled their mecha to dart into the alley, and the buildings blocked their line of sight.
As he entered the alley, Black projected the area’s map directly onto the tactical sub-window, with a blue dot marking Mu Fan’s current location.
Following Black’s prompts, Mu Fan continually changed his route. He wanted to disperse these Reapers and then defeat them one by one. After that, there wouldn’t be any mechas left, would there?
Time was getting tighter.
…
“Report, Councilman, all communication channels will be restored in five minutes.”
“Prepare for communication, I want to make a speech and crush these scumbags for me!” The councilman’s heart couldn’t contain its excitement any longer. The moment of counterattack was finally arriving. After defeating these star thieves, he would find out who betrayed the Federation!
“Report, leader, the deputy leader’s Thunder Slash is preparing to deploy, but the deputy leader said there’s a minor issue on his end.”
“What’s the situation?” Poison Scorpion asked irritably. The defensive firepower in District 2 was far from as strong as it was here in District 1. There were still a full forty Reaper units over there!
“Eight mechas have already been destroyed!” a small voice from a star thief said beside him.
“What!” Poison Scorpion’s expression turned angry and carried with it a look of shock.
“Do you know how much those eight adventure-class mechas cost us?! What happened!” Poison Scorpion’s long-maintained calm was shattered by this news, anger and surprise mixed together. Thunder Slash was also over there; how had they suffered such heavy losses before reporting! Even if the value of the trade in source crystals was great, it would be difficult to gather up eight adventure-class standard mechas in a short time.
“It seems like some military expert appeared…” this star thief explained with a lack of confidence, having only heard some sketchy details during communications.
“Trash!”
“Report, leader! Fourteen Reapers were destroyed in District 2! The deputy leader sent a coded message saying the situation has changed, and Thunder Slash will be deployed in District 2 first, then he’ll come over after handling that.” A hurriedly reporting person came running up beside him.
Poison Scorpion felt his temples throbbing; if he suppressed it any longer, he was going to explode!
“Wind Thief, attack District 1, deploy Thunder Slash in District 2!” This time he suffered a great loss; Poison Scorpion felt his heart bleeding. Before reaching the time for attack, he had already lost the Pirate Group’s three years of income.
But if they didn’t go, there might be no way to replenish adventure-class standard mechas in the future; the Wen family’s line must not be lost!
Poison Scorpion spat heavily, staring at the distant district.
“Tremble under the power of Wind Thief!”
…
Mu Fan walked into the alleyway, pulling out the alloy heavy sword plunged into the engine. Then he leapt again–this was already the fifth one! Two of the six mechas remained. Once the star thieves’ Reapers were dispersed, Mu Fan, under Black’s guidance, fought them one-on-one. When the RX-16 transformed into the solitary Death God, the opponents didn’t even have time to react before Mu Fan, launching a rear surprise attack, pierced through the engine, causing the energy furnace to detonate in martyrdom!
One more remained, and Mu Fan had already pinpointed its location. It was on the other side of the building, because on that side, a surviving camera was providing Mu Fan with a crucial view under Black’s control.
Looping behind, he spotted it! The Reaper also noticed the red dot appearing on its radar from behind and hurriedly turned, swinging down the Magnetic Vibration Blade.
Mu Fan controlled the RX-16’s left arm to deflect at an angle, 36deg, causing the Magnetic Vibration Blade to miss, resulting in only a 2% energy loss caused by the Magnetic Vibrating Force.
The RX-16 crouched and slid to sever the Reaper’s legs, rendering it immobile, then swiftly plunged a sword into the cockpit. The white light of the Reaper’s shoulder cannon gathered once again, then dissipated.
Finally, it was over.
“Hmph, return to the Star Sea.” Mu Fan paid no attention at all to a sudden bright blue light appearing on top of a building ten kilometers away, with its central brightness further increasing, creating a thin layer of electric arc around it, with electrical sparks continuously flashing.
Then, in the gaps between these electrical sparks, revealed behind that blue light was a mecha entirely in deep purple.
This mecha’s streamlined body was closer to a human’s form, its legs tightly fitted with long, narrow vent ports, representing dynamic accelerators for enhanced mobility. On both shoulders, there was a gold lightning-pattern extending to the waist; yet on closer inspection, this lightning pattern was entirely composed of dense five-centimeter holes!
But all of this paled in comparison to the exaggerated terrifying weapon in the right hand of this mecha at this moment. The exterior was hideous, a dark colored with purple lustrous ultra-long triple-barreled gun extending from the shoulder two meters forward, with currents visibly flowing along it, forming serpents of electricity snaking around.
The massive triple-barreled gun obscured the mecha’s right arm completely; now that terrifying energy was constantly surging, then converging at the muzzle of this triple-barrel.
This was the feared Death God in Thunder across the universe for twenty years, the Broken Axe Star Thief Group’s strongest force, the non-production warrior-class mecha – Thunder Slash!
That terrifying and exaggerated long triple-barrel, known as its unique weapon — Thunder Sacrifice Surge Cannon! Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
