Su Qing'an's Switchblade, Titan's Fang
Su Qing'an moved almost immediately after the sniper fired.
He neither ran nor strode forward; amidst the crisscrossing trajectories and the chaotic scene of invitees choosing to take refuge and flee, the boy strolled on the red carpet.
Su Qing'an wore black Chelsea boots, handmade in Northampton, United Kingdom; the heavy heels landed softly and silently on the carpet.
The boy casually swung the sharp folding knife in his hand. The cuffs of his snow-white shirt, which he had previously meticulously buttoned up, were now folded up several times, revealing a section of his fair arm.
As Su Qing'an walked, he unbuttoned the top button of his shirt with his left hand and then loosened his black tie.
You must not show any murderous intent, otherwise you will give yourself away.
You can't walk too fast, or you won't be able to get close.
He had already figured out how the opponent would unleash their power.
Such a gravitational field cannot be kept on all the time, so even if his gravitational field is used as a field of vision, it will only react to objects that are moving at high speeds.
Otherwise, the brain cannot process too much information, which will instead create unnecessary information overload and make neural responses slower.
Therefore, you should approach his body quietly and slowly, as if taking a walk, so as not to trigger his gravitational field's alert mechanism.
As Welt burst into laughter, Su Qing'an had already successfully entered his subconscious. To this man, the boy at this moment was an invisible ghost.
The boy endured it, even ignoring his previous anger. His handsome face remained expressionless, but deep emotions surged within his dark, inky eyes.
When that man was controlled by gravity, Su Qing'an was not close enough to Welt.
As his mechanical prosthetic limb was forced down and bent, forcing him to kneel, the boy's folding knife didn't even reach the enemy's hair.
As Leonid's legs began to groan in agony, Su Qing'an suppressed his own pain, his knuckles turning white from strain.
In the brief moment that followed, the champagne floated quietly in the ice bucket, the smell of gunpowder mingled with the aroma of food as bullets bounced back, and the scattered footsteps of the guests and Welt's disdainful, narrowed eyes gradually slowed down in the boy's pupils, becoming clear in every detail.
He drew his knife.
The folding knife traced a light, unhurried arc through the air, and just as the blade was about to touch the skin of the opponent's neck, all the strength in the body suddenly burst forth.
This is the shortest distance that Welt absolutely cannot react to.
So, on the final leg of the journey, the folding knife drew out a brilliant light in an extremely subtle arc.
At that distance, Su Qing'an's knife was faster than a bullet.
The battle is over. The bloodline should appear a second after the blade cuts through the skin. The man's expression will freeze, and then the light in his light blue eyes will fade. Everything will come to an end.
If it weren't for the enormous behemoth before us.
In an even shorter span of time, accompanied by a mechanical sound, the boy's folding knife struck the hard steel.
"Approaching high-speed moving metal object detected, danger assessed. Titan Mech A106, observation system not shifted, quantization state successfully deactivated immediately."
A massive mech with a cool-toned paint job trampled the red carpet, taking the place where Welt had stood. The hand-cut crystal chandelier, due to its towering size, was crushed, and the exquisite decorations were reduced to scattered fragments.
From an outsider's perspective, this glass-walled building looks like a large-scale, realistic mecha game exhibition, rather than a wedding venue. However, the exhibit that should be admired is actually a steel monster with terrifying power.
Titan Mech.
The combat weapon used by Anti-Entropy, although I've only experienced the so-called quantum stealth state in the game, which allows it to be deployed on the battlefield at any time.
But when the actual object appeared before her eyes, Su Qing'an couldn't help but be amazed.
In the instant he swung the folding knife, he truly believed he had successfully ended the battle.
However, this unreasonable way of making an entrance completely thwarted what would have been the simplest way to end the battle.
Su Qing'an sheathed his sword and stepped back. He looked at Welt, whose face was pale, and said calmly:
"It seems Cocolia values you highly, Mr. Welt."
"How many Titans do you expect to build with the wealth you get from this auction?"
Welt was forced to dodge behind Titan in a disheveled state, his back soaked with cold sweat. He stared wide-eyed, his pupils contracting, and then gritted his teeth as he looked at the nonchalant young man.
The man, who knew that if Titan had arrived even a second later, he would have died, was almost overwhelmed by hysterical and extreme emotions.
Even though his opponent had displayed extraordinary skill and knowledge, Welt had no time to ponder that. His mind was filled with overwhelming fear, followed by the shame and arrogance of realizing he was afraid.
And what follows is pure killing intent.
"Die!"
A furious roar, driven mad with rage, echoed throughout the hall. Violent Honkai Energy surged from his body, and the out-of-control gravity field shattered the reinforced glass on all sides. In the instant that countless crystalline fragments were scattered in the air, those who had not yet escaped were all crushed to the ground by the altered gravity.
But the next second, most of the out-of-control gravitational fields were gathered together, and they condensed into several dark spheres that flew towards Su Qing'an.
That was a product of gravitational fields; even a slight grazed person would turn into a bloody, boneless mess. Faced with such destructive power, even with Su Qing'an's physical abilities, a head-on confrontation wouldn't yield much better results.
At the same time, the mech in front of him also made a move. Unlike a normal Titan, this Titan was more inclined to attack humanoids. It was loaded with all kinds of dangerous weapons, and what it revealed to Su Qing'an at this moment was the Vulcan Cannon Machine Gun specially made by Anti-Entropy.
At a distance of less than five meters, the speed of a normal bullet is already like the Grim Reaper's scythe, too fast for a human to react to. And the hundreds of bullets that a machine gun spews out in the blink of an eye, without even needing to warm up or cool down, are nothing short of a chilling death sentence.
The polymer of the gravitational field slowed the boy's steps before it arrived, and the surging attack would tear his body apart in an instant, sending warm blood splattering in the air.
Even if he chose to break the agreement, at this point, Su Qing'an wouldn't have time to use the Artificial Stigmata, let alone use [Thousand Stars] to dodge afterwards.
Yet he remained standing there calmly, twirling the folding knife between his fingers, as if he had no concern whatsoever about getting hurt.
"Fool."
A gentle breath tickled her ear, accompanied by a tender tone, while rapid, flirtatious sounds filled her ears. The girl in the dress held Su Qing'an in her arms, her brows furrowed in displeasure.
Fu Hua used [Thousand Stars] to pull Su Qing'an out of certain death before the Vulcan cannon could be activated. The machine gun bullets pierced through another building outside, shattering the dazzling array of goods in the mall and causing panic and screams.
It's already 4 PM, and the commotion here has already affected the outside world. If the fight isn't resolved within ten minutes, theoretically, both of them will have to write a bunch of annoying reports.
Although from the perspective of Fu Hua and Otto's partner, she could have easily avoided doing this, given Fu Hua's personality, she always tends to take on unnecessary responsibilities.
Su Qing'an felt the softness of the girl's body and smelled her delicate fragrance, and said with a smile:
"I was just listening to what Hua was saying."
The girl walked barefoot on the red carpet strewn with shards of glass. The hem of her skirt, which should have trailed to the ground, was roughly torn off to avoid hindering her movement, thus revealing her long, shapely legs to the outside world without any concealment. For Fu Hua, such an outfit could already be considered daring.
But Fu Hua had no time to worry about such details. Looking at the Titan Mech swinging its fists towards them and the gravity ball continuing its pursuit, she gently put Su Qing'an down and said softly:
"We'll discuss this further when we get back."
"Now, leave the rest of the battle to me."
Before the other party could answer, the girl seemed to grasp the direction of the air in her palm and twist it into a storm. She casually clenched her five fingers into a fist and annihilated the brief storm in her palm.
Immediately.
Gather your strength and throw a punch.
The completely disproportionate size made the next scene seem fantastical, and a dull thud stirred up a roaring wind in the boy's ears.
Centered on the left fist of the Titan Mech, the Inch Heart Fist instantly integrated a brand-new Honkai Energy inspiration sequence, generating terrifying power. Ten thousand forces dispersed within the mech's shell, accompanied by the mournful sigh of machinery and steel, and this expensive Titan Mech was completely destroyed.
The force of twisting within a certain range did not affect the structure of the ground buildings, but the Inch Heart Fist enhanced by the [Thousand Stars] state still lost its original perfect precision, and the scattered bursts of wind blew the nearby tables and chairs directly to the outside.
Almost all of those invited have either left or dispersed.
Meanwhile, Leonid, who had lost the ability to move, was sent flying out of the building by Su Qing'an using a folding knife in a Sword Defense Style to avoid being hit by debris.
This banquet hall has now been turned into a fighting arena without railings, and if the battle between the two sides gets out of control, it could cause a large number of casualties.
If the other party is a rational human being, they should calmly withdraw when the mission has already failed and wait for an opportunity to get revenge later.
But Welt had no such intention at the moment. The gravity ball continued to fall unstoppably. The girl was breathing softly. For her, every battle was a journey that could end at any moment. She rarely found herself forced to use [Thousand Stars] anymore.
But today is an exception.
