Counterattack

"Bang!"

The "Taishan" was once again hit by the "Mad Ape's" punch, sparks flying from the Jaeger's surface. Fortunately, the blow landed on its chest, where the armor was quite thick.

There was no helping it. The "Taishan" was strong in firepower, after all, and its close-combat ability was indeed a notch below.

Even though Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan's neural synchrony connection was at a high level, allowing them to unleash most of the "Taishan's" strength.

But the Jaeger's inherent attributes were different. Direct melee combat was truly difficult for the "Taishan."

Although the rocket booster at its elbow would greatly increase the attack power of each normal attack.

But that also required a charging period, didn't it?

Monsters wouldn't just stand there foolishly, letting you charge up a big move.

Large-scale destructive weapons couldn't be used because there were evacuating civilians all around.

Although the "Taishan" and "Mad Ape" had already exchanged several blows, all of this had actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Not much time had passed, and the crowds hadn't even managed to evacuate yet.

"Roar!"

The "Mad Ape" pressed forward again, and the "Taishan" had no choice but to resist desperately.

It managed to land a punch or two occasionally, but the damage was truly limited.

"What's wrong with the 'Taishan'? Why does it seem so strained?"

"Yeah, didn't it finish off the last monster in no time? Is this one tougher?"

"Don't talk nonsense. It's for our sake. We're too close to the battlefield, so it can't go all out!"

The evacuating civilians around them chattered amongst themselves. The arrival of the "Taishan" had stopped their panic, but they were confused by its current lackluster performance.

In their hearts, the "Taishan" was the strongest, their spiritual pillar, their faith.

The "Bladehead" monster that attacked Hong Kong last time was powerfully dealt with by the "Taishan." Nearly the entire nation had watched the battle live, and this sense of confidence and pride had swelled unprecedentedly.

At this moment, seeing the "Taishan" constantly being suppressed by the "Mad Ape" was perplexing, creating a huge psychological gap.

"We can't keep fighting like this. We'll be worn down and killed!"

Xiao Shou said to Xie Yushan inside the cockpit.

The Jaeger was already damaged in multiple places, with some systems constantly flashing red lights, indicating a shutdown.

"But using the particle cannon will harm the civilians. They wouldn't die by the monster's hands only to be caught in our crossfire. We can't bear that consequence!"

"No, you forgot. We still have a new weapon we haven't used yet!"

The "Taishan" was once again thrown by the "Mad Ape" in an over-the-shoulder throw.

The "Taishan" barely managed to support itself, half-kneeling on the shore.

In the "Mad Ape's" eyes, it looked like it was surrendering. It let out an excited roar and charged forward again.

It wanted to deliver the final blow to this iron hunk that had constantly embarrassed it.

But it overlooked the right hand of the iron hunk, extended behind its back.

The "Taishan" pulled a handle from its leg, and the electromagnetic stimulator on its right arm flashed with electricity.

The "Mad Ape" sensed danger. Its primal instincts told it there was peril, but the momentum of its charge could no longer be stopped.

A thirty-meter-long laser sword shot out, directly cleaving across the "Mad Ape's" chest.

Blue blood gushed out, dyeing the sea in this area a deep, vibrant blue.

The "Taishan" held the sword with both hands, appearing like a Jedi warrior under the glow of the demonic blue laser.

In short, to describe its coolness in one word.

It was, Slick!

Z Nation's military strategy: feign weakness, then strike unexpectedly, catch them off guard, and win.

Sun Tzu, no, Sun Wu truly did not deceive me!

Under the backdrop of the night, the demonic blue laser sword was like a weapon from beyond this world.

Sacred and inviolable.

Whether you call it a divine artifact, sacred, or a demonic weapon, alluring.

In short, now, For the "Mad Ape," it was a summons from hell, oh no, wrong again, a death warrant!

"Heh, little thing, you've been showing off for so long. Now it's our turn!"

The counterattack begins!
