"This is…" Li Xuan looked at the emblem in his hand and muttered to himself, "Gale Arts (High Tier)?!"
Li Xuan quietly closed his eyes and began to seriously read the information in his mind… 'Gale Arts (High Tier)' when equipped, increases movement speed by 44.68% and melee attack speed by 8.67%…
"Movement speed…" Li Xuan murmured. "That's it!" A flash of inspiration struck him.
Although those mechas were powerful, they must be powered by some energy source. That means if he could just drain their energy, they wouldn't be able to attack anymore, right?! And even if he couldn't deplete the mechas' energy, he could use the buff from 'Gale Arts (High Tier)' to escape. After all, with the enhancement from Gale Arts (High Tier), he didn't believe he couldn't outrun these mechas.
"Heh~" Li Xuan forcefully pulled the five-star emblem 'Nan'gong's Trial' off his collar. Even though the back of the emblem had nothing on it, it could adhere firmly to his clothes. From a certain perspective, this was some kind of black technology…
"…" Li Xuan silently placed the emblem named 'Gale Arts (High Tier)' onto his now-empty collar.
The next moment, Li Xuan felt his body become somewhat lighter, with a buoyant sensation as he stood on the ground. Li Xuan tried a light jump and actually leaped several meters high!
"Could this be the Gale Arts?!…" Li Xuan couldn't help but say to himself in excitement. This is practically a perfect escape tool! Ahem… a strategic retreat…
Li Xuan felt his chances of survival in this world had just gotten a bit better… From now on, if he couldn't beat a Honkai Beast, a Honkai Zombie, or a Gundam, he could just dust himself off and leave. If you can't win, run. Wait until you can win, then we'll settle the score…
According to a certain founding father of China… uh… this is called… hmm! This is called tactics!! Guerilla warfare… is also a tactic, right?
Just as Li Xuan was feeling a bit smug.
BOOM! With a loud bang, the courtyard wall he was leaning against suddenly exploded, leaving a large hole and giving Li Xuan a huge fright…
"What the hell?!" Li Xuan looked up and found himself in a loving gaze with a mecha that had just poked its head through the gap in the wall…
"Holy crap!" Li Xuan couldn't help but swear. Does this mecha have the nose of a dog?! It found me through a wall… But… this is a perfect chance to test it out…
BOOM! The Titan Mecha that had discovered Li Xuan simply raised its fist and smashed the wall blocking its path to pieces. At this moment, its entire body was enveloped in a faint red mist. This was a Titan Mecha that had entered the 'Berserk' state, its attack power now infinitely close to that of a 'Berserk Titan'.
Thump! Thump!!~
Its two robotic legs stomped heavily on the ground, creating a deep, resonant boom like the beating of war drums.
"Come on!" Li Xuan felt the blood in his body burn. Two vortex-like whirlwinds spun at his feet, making him feel as light as a feather… His powerful constitution had already allowed him to recover a good deal of his stamina in these few minutes.
Li Xuan took a step… and his foot kicked up a thick layer of dust and airflow. His movement speed instantly surpassed seven meters per second, and he shot out like a cheetah.
Vmmm! The Titan Mecha also raised its fist high, preparing to smash it down in the direction Li Xuan was charging.
"Hah!" Li Xuan roared. When he was less than a few meters from the Titan Mecha, he suddenly circulated the little Honkai energy he had left, and the muscles in his right leg exploded with power. He leaped high with all his might.
The air whistled past his ears, the wind from his high speed causing the longer strands of his hair to sway slightly. The wide robes of his golden divine garb, the 'Xuanyuan Festive Garb', billowed in the air.
With a single jump, Li Xuan soared a full ten meters high, even higher than Yae Sakura… This was the result of 'Gale Arts (High Tier)' enhancing his speed and muscles, combined with the application of wind-element Honkai energy—a leap like flying.
"Only an idiot would fight you head-on!…" Having vaulted over the several-meter-tall Anti-Entropy mecha, Li Xuan did a spin in the air and landed steadily behind it…
"Go to hell!" A silver-grey rocket launcher instantly appeared in Li Xuan's hands. He decisively aimed at the back of the Titan Mecha, which had exposed its energy tank to him and didn't have time to turn around.
Pssh!~~ Li Xuan pulled the trigger. The sound of rushing air erupted from the launcher. At a distance of a few meters, he didn't even need to aim; he could just shoot… After all, the target was so big, he could hit it with his eyes closed…
A rocket spiraled out…
BANG! BOOM!~
A dazzling fireball blossomed in front of Li Xuan, its light even illuminating the dark corners of the street…
"…" Li Xuan looked at the now-wrecked mecha with a smile. Although 'Tyr's Wrist' couldn't break through that white mecha (it was obviously a high-grade model), it could still pierce through an ordinary one.
"Alright! Time to find Sakura!…" Li Xuan clapped his hands and ran off. With a light leap, he was on the roof of a low-rise building by the street, following the trail left by the Gundams.
"Please be okay…" The wind blew across Li Xuan's face as he muttered to himself.
"Commander! We've lost contact with the Titan Mecha that was pursuing the unknown Honkai source…" The military-uniformed girl, Xiyue, reported anxiously, standing behind the woman. "And… the squad sent to intercept Murata Himeko has also been destroyed by her…"
"…" Cocolia's face was grim. In the end, she let out a helpless sigh. The current mechas still felt too weak… They couldn't even capture a couple of kids, or even hold off a single A-Rank Valkyrie for half an hour…
"It seems we need to advance the production plan for the [MSR-7 Allfather]…" Cocolia muttered to herself.
"What?!" Xiyue, seeing that her commander seemed to have said something, asked curiously.
"It's nothing… Order the pursuit of the pink-haired girl carrying Li Xuan to continue!" Cocolia said, coming back to her senses. I refuse to believe I can't catch you. It's not like you can fly away, can you?!
Of course… what Cocolia didn't expect… was that Li Xuan's jumps were now practically no different from flying…
