"Boom!"
Amidst the Ghost Emperor's curses, that Level 8 Soul Guidance shell detonated behind him.
Although a Soul Guidance shell of this magnitude could not injure him, the thick smoke and powerful shockwave generated by the explosion were enough to hinder his advance.
This also provided Luo Feng with the perfect opening for his next attack!
"Damn brat! This Seat should have silenced you the moment I saw you!"
To be reduced to such a sorry state by a mere junior, and in front of everyone from the Spirit Pagoda, was, for the Ghost Emperor, a massive stain on his glorious past.
A scholar may be killed, but not humiliated! He absolutely could not let this brat in the Mecha go.
Yet, just as the Ghost Emperor was busy destroying the dam, he remained unaware that the true killing blow was waiting behind him!
"BT! Level 10 Anti-Matter Armor-Piercing Incendiary Shells! Triple burst! Cripple his legs for me!"
Command confirmed! Level 11 special ammunition loaded into the main launch bay!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three Level 10 Soul Guidance shells, emitting a deadly, eerie glow, formed a triangular formation that completely sealed off all of the Ghost Emperor's retreat paths!
These were Level 10 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons! Each one possessed a terrifying yield capable of instantly obliterating a medium-sized city!
"No!!!"
The Ghost Emperor's withered, aged face finally revealed an expression of utter despair.
The bone shield he had gathered with all his might failed to offer even a microsecond of resistance against these three Level 10 Soul Guidance shells!
"Bang!!!"
A heaven-shaking chain of explosions erupted in mid-air!
These three Level 10 Soul Guidance shells struck the Ghost Emperor's lower body without a shred of suspense.
Under the dual devastation of the Level 10 anti-matter and incendiary shells, the Ghost Emperor's withered legs were instantly blown into a sky full of bone dust and blood mist, his very screams drowned out by the roar of the explosion!
Having lost his legs and his center of gravity, the Ghost Emperor plummeted like a falling green meteor, dragging his shattered torso as he crashed miserably from thousands of meters in the air toward the primitive wilderness below.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a ground-shaking roar, the Ghost Emperor's mangled body slammed into the mountainside, carving a terrifying crater dozens of meters in diameter into the solid rock.
Dust and debris billowed into the sky.
"Hiss!"
Before the Ghost Emperor could even catch his breath from the heart-wrenching agony, a massive, suffocating metallic shadow cast itself over him from the sky.
The Vanguard Titan's heavy mechanical foot descended with irresistible force, landing squarely on the edge of the crater.
The entire mountain trembled violently under the terrifying mass of this god-tier Mecha!
"Run, old ghost, why aren't you running anymore?"
Luo Feng sat leisurely in the cockpit, his mocking voice broadcast through the external speakers across the entire mountain forest.
"Weren't you quite the runner just a moment ago? Where did that Limit Douluo backbone go?"
At the bottom of the crater, the Ghost Emperor struggled to prop up his broken body with his only remaining hand.
His face, resembling that of a dried corpse, was etched with endless fear and malice.
He, a dignified bigwig of the Holy Spirit Cult, had actually been driven into this desperate, inescapable plight by a human brat piloting an Iron Shell!
"I am the big brother here to send you to hell!"
Luo Feng sneered, his thumb slowly pressing down on the weapon launch key on the console.
Command confirmed! High-Explosive Plasma Secondary Cannon locked onto the target's head!
"In your next life, remember to stay far away from me."
Just as Luo Feng prepared to send the Ghost Emperor to his final rest with a single shot, a sudden change occurred!
"You insolent brat! Stop right there!"
A roar like an ancient thunderclap rolled in from the direction of Ming Capital.
Immediately following it, a vast pressure, no weaker than that of a level-99 quasi-god Limit Douluo, surged forth.
Like a tsunami, it bore down upon the Vanguard Titan, covering the sky and blotting out the sun!
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a dragon's cry that shattered the heavens, a terrifying long staff, coiled with a dark golden dragon, appeared.
It seemed to transcend the limits of space, carrying the power to crush the void as it descended fiercely from the sky, blocking the path above the Ghost Emperor!
"BOOM!!"
The Vanguard Titan's fully charged plasma secondary cannon fired instantly.
The blinding blue beam of light collided violently with the dark golden Coiling Dragon Staff.
An energy sphere, brighter than the sun itself, erupted from the impact!
The terrifying shockwave sheared the entire mountaintop clean off!
Under the immense recoil, even the massive Vanguard Titan was forced to take half a step back.
It plowed two deep trenches into the ground.
The Coiling Dragon Staff was sent flying back through the air, landing in the hands of an old man who had suddenly appeared in the void.
The old man had white hair and a beard, and he wore a dark golden robe of extreme luxury.
He stood in mid-air, with nine soul rings of profound, extreme depth circling beneath his feet.
The last three red, hundred-thousand-year soul rings, in particular, radiated a suffocating sense of oppression.
He was the Spirit Pagoda Master, the Limit Douluo standing at the very pinnacle of the Douluo Continent today: Qiangu Dongfeng!
"You're finally here! Save me!"
In the deep crater, the Ghost Emperor, who had thought he was surely doomed, saw the newcomer.
He immediately shrieked, grabbing onto the lifeline like a drowning man.
That shout made Qiangu Dongfeng's face twitch.
He had intended to intervene secretly to protect this Holy Spirit Cult ally, while simultaneously maintaining the "order" of the Spirit Pagoda.
But the Ghost Emperor's desperate cry for help had effectively stripped away the last shred of decency, exposing the collusion between the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult!
"Shut your mouth!
You heinous evil soul master, as the Master of the Spirit Pagoda, I shall capture you and bring you back for rigorous interrogation today!"
To keep up appearances, Qiangu Dongfeng immediately rebuked him with a righteous air.
Then, he turned his head, his eyes—cloudy yet sharp as a hawk's—fixed firmly on the massive Vanguard Titan below.
"What kind of madman are you, daring to stir up trouble right under my nose? Get out of here at once—"
However, Qiangu Dongfeng's words were cut short, his voice coming to an abrupt halt.
His pupils contracted to the size of pinpricks in an instant.
His gaze locked onto the Vanguard Titan's oppressive dark golden armor and the unique emblem painted on the mecha's shoulder.
An uncontrollable, monstrous rage and extreme hatred erupted violently from within the Limit Douluo!
"This mecha... this aura..."
Qiangu Dongfeng was trembling violently.
He suddenly raised the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, pointing it directly at the Vanguard Titan's cockpit.
"It's you!!! It's you, you piece of trash!"
"Back outside Tianhai City, it was you, this metal monster, who used that damned artillery fire to blast my grandson, Qiangu Zhangting, to pieces!"
Qiangu Dongfeng's roar was filled with heart-wrenching grief and madness.
His pride and joy, his grandson and the future heir of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Zhangting, had been reduced to scraps by this mysterious heavy mecha.
Qiangu Dongfeng had been searching frantically for the culprit, but had found nothing.
He never expected that his search would end here.
Today, of all days, he had recognized this dark golden demonic mecha, which he would know even if it were reduced to ashes!
Inside the cockpit, Luo Feng watched the enraged Qiangu Dongfeng on the holographic screen.
A curve of extreme arrogance tugged at the corner of his mouth.
He turned on the external speakers without hesitation, his voice dripping with mockery.
"My apologies, you old fool.
I kill so much trash on a daily basis that I truly don't remember which piece of rotten meat your grandson was reduced to when I stepped on him."
"You're courting death!!"
Qiangu Dongfeng was so incensed by Luo Feng's vicious mockery that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"Today, I will flay you alive, you madman! I will rip out your soul to console my grandson's spirit in heaven!"
