Chapter 149 The End
At first glance, the towering white behemoth weapon seemed unremarkable. It exhibited no kinetic energy, and no signs of electric flames or heat from its electrocardiogram could be observed. No trace of electromagnetic waves could be detected on radar. The white blade occupied half of the entire weapon, and its shape was similar to the simple broadswords commonly seen in the folk of Haitang. The hilt had a matte black lacquer finish and was held by four composite knuckles made primarily of hot-formed steel. Upon closer inspection, one could see bundles of glaze cables extending from the knuckles and palms all the way to the inside of the hilt, visually resembling black glue stuck to the hands of the Type 5 machine gun.

Several missiles streaked across the sky above the tip of the Colossus Blade, blocking all possible escape routes for Gao Liuhun's teetering modified aircraft. The previous strike from the Deer-Slaying Blade had stripped away the already meager armor of the modified aircraft, directly damaging its fuselage structure. If these missiles hit, even the aftershocks of the explosions could cause Gao Liuhun to crash.

The missiles were naturally launched by the Divine Machine Corps hired by McDonald. These men were licensed astronauts hired by the Golden Jasmine Royal Family at high salaries. They were experienced in aerial combat and, sensing an opportunity to fight, immediately launched missiles and threatened again, attempting to force Gao Liuhun to stop.

But a shocking scene unfolded again—the demonic modified Land-type mech seemed to ignore the missiles that were right in front of it. The weapon ring on the back of the mech spun again, and the pale white X-shaped convection jets hit the missiles one after another. The missiles visibly lost speed and swayed, not even grazing the edge of the modified Land-type mech. Instead, they made a sharp turn in the air and headed straight for Jiao En's Type 5.

"What's up?"

The celestial official wearing sunglasses inside the bubble helmet couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This battlefield performance is beyond what a current-level divine machine's force field weapon can achieve; it must be at the elite level! Coupled with the unprecedented design of that modified machine, it did indeed intimidate these mercenary groups for a time.

No matter who it is, they can't afford to mess with someone who can drive a vehicle of that caliber.

But this did not scare Jiao En.

"A mutated electrocardiogram, or a mutation that adapts to the force field weapon—this bastard should be captured and subjected to human research."

Wu casually swung his deer-slaying knife, cleaving through several incoming missiles from afar. The sporadic impacts only broke through small sections of the aircraft's armor, causing little damage.

Most mutant electrocardiograms have become obsolete in modern times because they cannot adapt to the direction of weapon development. Unless you have abundant funds to develop new weapons specifically for mutant electrocardiograms, but all mutant electrocardiograms in the world are unique. Once the owner dies, these weapons developed at great expense will no longer be usable. They are not in line with the development trend of industrial capital, and many technical difficulties are difficult to overcome. It is very likely that a huge amount of money will be wasted in the end.

This is precisely why, if a mutated electrocardiogram happens to be compatible with a modern weapon, its effect would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Jiao En opened the channel: "Stop attacking with weapons, just pilot your mechs over there and intercept him!"

"This is impossible, Commander Jiao En, we'll crash!"

"You son of a bitch! Can't you see its structure is practically made of paper?!"

Jiao En cursed again.

On the other side, Gao Liuhun's face was equally gloomy. As a former member of the Suanni sequence, no one knew the power of the Deer-Slaying Blade better than him. That weapon, which was completely beyond the knowledge of the present day, could even "cut" gravity. Fortunately, this was just a replica.

He gradually became more adept at the pursuit. His modified Lu-type machine was already much faster than Jiao En's Wu-type, and with the addition of numerous cover, Gao Liuhun also used the high-mounted cannons to retaliate against Jiao En and the mercenary machines that were intercepting him. The situation became tense for a time.

thump~
Gao Liuhun realized he had bumped into something. At first, he thought it was just some debris from a building high in the sky, but he quickly noticed something was wrong because his structural value had dropped slightly again.

Dong~dong~dong~
Gao Liuhun activated the all-seeing radar and discovered that the waist structure of the aircraft had been corroded into a huge pit more than two meters wide at some point, and it even showed a tendency to spread. Not only the waist, but also the connecting bridge of the pod, the cannon barrel, and even the external armor of the cockpit had begun to be corroded.

These ulcers were like steel syphilis; though the damage seemed minor, it was like a venomous wound that gnawed at the heart and bones. At the same time, he discovered the culprit. It was a swarm of drones no bigger than a thumb. Compared to the modified Lu Shi, which was hundreds of meters tall, these tiny things were less noticeable than firecrackers. Their signals were so weak that Gao Liuhun, caught up in the fierce battle, completely ignored their existence.

Gao Liuhun's mind was filled with alarm bells. With a slight rotation of the armed ring, the already weak and powerless drones were instantly blown away by the force field. However, a dazzling blade of light, tens of meters long, shot out from the jet port of a suspended, malfunctioning commercial drone and struck the armed force field ring on the back of the modified Lu Shi.

The force field weapon ring with a radius of about forty meters was cut in half, and one of its nozzles was also severed. The originally symmetrical electrocardiogram jet suddenly lost half of its shape and began to flicker.

Gao Liuhun's face immediately turned ashen. He stared intently at a red dot in the upper right corner of his field of vision. Among the dense array of ECGs that were locking onto and modifying him, this ECG was too inconspicuous. The device it came from was probably not even a cosmic supercomputer; at most, it was an array radar mounted on a tank.

But now Gao Liuhun has realized that he comes from one person.

one person???

He took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and saw a dazzling starry sky in the view shared with the modified Land Cruiser.

it's beautiful.

Gao Liuhun tried to connect to the other party's channel signal, and surprisingly, it worked.

"You've got some nerve. Let me die knowing why. Are you one of the Three Mountain Birds? Why are you so fixated on us?"

There was a moment of silence on the channel before a burst of radio waves was transmitted.

"I once heard someone talk about the white, mutated electrocardiogram."

"what?"

"The Plum Agency, the White Executioner, and Kagesa Akira's right-hand man."

"...Do you have delusions?"

Gu Jianqiu stopped responding; his mission was complete.

Jiao En's eyes widened in anger. Sparks flew more intensely from the joints of the Type 5 machine he was controlling, and some components even began to tremble, as if the entire machine was about to explode at any moment. Only the giant iron weapon remained solemn and stable.

Freed from the force field's restraints, he unleashed all his weapons in an instant. The unremarkable white blade slashed straight down, seemingly without any resistance, and cleaved the modified Land-type machine in two.

A brilliant burst of sparks immediately erupted in the air.

Kagesa Akira, who rose to the rank of Major General in the Golden Chrysanthemum Army, was the top intelligence chief of the Golden Chrysanthemum on the Shuanghua battlefield during the Second Buddha War. After the Second Buddha War, Kagesa Akira was nominated as a Class A war criminal by the Haitang government, but his trial was postponed due to tuberculosis. He died three years later after his condition worsened in the hospital.
