When the Micro Ma 000 model Search Radar completely locked onto the Shadow Stalker, Lin Yuan, who had long been in a state of preparation, let out a roar in his heart. His Mechanical Body surged forward, with the jumping function of his two Mechanical Legs exploding into action. Combined with the Gale Evasion Skill, both his first and Second Mechanical Arm gripped the Assault Longsword simultaneously, unleashing the Charge Slash skill!
This was a desperate counterattack meticulously planned by Lin Yuan, utilizing all his resources. If this strike missed or went awry, it would be his downfall, as there would be no second chance; the Shadow Stalker would already know that his Hurricane Hammer was merely for show!
Thus, this strike was unprecedentedly fierce and domineering. In a matter of dozens of meters, under the full overclocking of Lin Yuan's Energy Engine, he charged forward like a violent gale!
The Shadow Stalker was indeed quite powerful, but faced with Lin Yuan's comprehensive setup, he found himself at a disadvantage. At this moment, due to the appearance of the Hurricane Hammer, a fleeting opening emerged. Even if he wanted to evade now, it was too late! However, he remained confident; he had already discerned that Lin Yuan was a facade of strength with a weak core. If it weren't for that formidable Blue Light Weapon, a single strike could have ended him.
What the Shadow Stalker did not realize was that while Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body was indeed weak, when combined with the Gale Evasion Skill, along with the Charge Array Slash Skill, and wielding the powerful Assault Longsword, he was capable of unleashing an attack of unimaginable ferocity! Especially since this had been planned from the very beginning by Lin Yuan. If someone were to calmly observe this entire process from the side, they would notice that from initiating the attack to the long sword slicing through the air, every movement of Lin Yuan flowed seamlessly. It wasn't just skillful; it integrated immense lethality—this was no attack that a novice could execute!
With swift precision and electric speed, it was nothing less than spectacular!
As that chilling killing intent and overwhelming momentum crashed down, the Shadow Stalker finally felt regret—but it was too late. The previous two attempts with the Assault Longsword had failed to breach his Energy Shield, but that did not mean this one would fail!
A dull explosion echoed as countless sparks flickered. In what had previously felt like empty air, a delicate mechanical figure suddenly appeared amidst crackling sounds and errant electricity. A densely cracked energy shield shattered like sand!
Lin Yuan could sense the terrified gaze of the Shadow Stalker. Even though in the next moment he entered stealth mode again, it no longer mattered; even without the guidance of the Search Radar, he could still lock onto the general location of the Shadow Stalker.
“Jumping Spin Slash!”
Without giving the Shadow Stalker any chance to regain control over his battle machine, Lin Yuan’s Mechanical Body followed closely like a shadow. The Waist Rotation Core spun rapidly, resembling a giant windmill as it began wide-ranging slashes while continuously moving. In just three seconds, this windmill-like maneuver swept across a thirty-meter radius, successfully revealing the hidden position of the elusive Shadow Stalker once more!
From this, he could conclude that once entering stealth mode, that damned fellow's mobility should not be too fast—unless his strength was truly exceptional; then it would be another story!
However, catching up to the Shadow Stalker did not mean that Lin Yuan could defeat him. The long knife in the Shadow Stalker's hand, reminiscent of a Flame Blade, suddenly appeared again, but Lin Yuan's Dual Wing Shield quickly met it. Although it was cut in half with little effect, it bought Lin Yuan some time. He charged forward with his Assault Longsword without hesitation, executing a series of Cleaving attacks—first from the front, then from the back, followed by a bouncing Cleaving attack, like a rainstorm of Swift Evasion. He disregarded his own safety, fully embracing a mutually destructive fighting style.
Though this approach was quite unscrupulous, it was also effective. First, Lin Yuan believed that the Shadow Stalker's life was far more valuable than his own. Second, he really did not want the Shadow Stalker to enter stealth mode again. Thus, he had no choice but to use this seemingly mad tactic to force the opponent into direct combat.
As for who would live and who would die, Lin Yuan had no time to think about that at the moment.
Lin Yuan's ruthless tactics were actually the best choice. Despite the Shadow Stalker’s mysterious and powerful appearance, this profession was fundamentally about ambush and assassination—striking decisively when the opponent was unaware. That was the true essence of being a Shadow Stalker. If they were forced into a head-on confrontation, they would no longer be called Shadow Stalkers but rather Swift Hunters or Brute Assault Specialists.
So, a Shadow Stalker, who excelled at hiding their presence, found themselves unable to become invisible and was forced into passive combat by a pseudo Brute Assault Specialist. This itself was a display of power suppression. Especially regarding their weapons, the Shadow Stalker found themselves at a disadvantage; one could only imagine their frustration.
Moreover, Lin Yuan appeared outwardly composed but was actually quite despicable. While he attacked fiercely like a storm from the front, he also seized opportunities to quickly use his Third Mechanical Arm to grab the Mammoth Pistol and fired several shots. Although these shots caused minimal damage to the Shadow Stalker, they were enough to annoy him greatly.
In less than ten seconds, the Shadow Stalker was nearly driven mad but found himself with no way out!
“Wait! Let’s negotiate. You just want high-concentration rz Crystals, right? I can give you all of them. My invisibility energy shield is already damaged and can no longer pose a threat to you. If you take the rz Crystals and leave, I promise not to report you because that would mean reporting myself first. After all, we are both secretly trying to gain benefits under the butcher Sea Eel's watchful eye. Why fight to the death? Wouldn't it be better to have more friends and more paths? Cooperation leads to a win-win situation!”
At this moment, the Shadow Stalker suddenly shouted out in an attempt to negotiate peace. But how could Lin Yuan possibly trust him? He continued his relentless assault without saying a word. After this round of attacks, he realized that the long knife in the Shadow Stalker's hand, which looked so dazzling, was not a Blue Light Weapon but rather a type of laser weapon that required energy to operate. If there was sufficient energy, it could indeed rival a Blue Light Weapon; however, if energy ran low, then it would be disastrous for him. Given that the Shadow Stalker's Energy Shield had been damaged previously and now faced such relentless blocking, it seemed that his Energy Engine's output couldn't keep up with the pace.
Therefore, if Lin Yuan gave him even a moment's respite to recharge his energy reserves now, it would be Lin Yuan who would end up crying!
“Damn it! I am Sir Koss 150's bodyguard! You little brat better know your place; you're dead!” Seeing that Lin Yuan wouldn't fall for his words, the Shadow Stalker became truly furious and cursed loudly. But the more he raged, the more fiercely Lin Yuan attacked. He thought that even if he couldn't kill this bastard outright now, he could wear him down until he ran out of energy for that long knife and see how arrogant he could remain then!
“Wait! I have twelve Modification Points and thirty Merit Points along with that piece of rz Crystal; I’ll give them all to you in a fair trade! If you kill me, you won't be able to take any of these with you! All I want is a chance to live! How about it? I can even give you this Ion Laser Sword; after that, I truly won’t have any ability left to attack you!”
At that moment, the Shadow Stalker shouted again, truly at his wit's end with Lin Yuan. It was unbelievable how he had encountered such a nuisance. Once upon a time, he could even assassinate experts at the E5 level like the Mechanical Warrior, but now he was exposed by this seemingly worthless creature that crawled out of a garbage heap. To make matters worse, this scoundrel was wielding a Blue Light Weapon, a deadly foe known as the Laser Ion Sword, and was being forced to retaliate! Damn it, he was an assassin, not an Assaulter!
It was truly a situation that left him wanting to cry without tears. If he could defeat an Assaulter in a head-on confrontation, what was the point of lurking in the shadows?
However, this time, the Shadow Stalker's offer finally moved Lin Yuan—twelve Modification Points and thirty Merit Points. Not bad at all!
"First, drop that Ion Laser Sword. Don't think about blocking. If you behave and listen to me, I might spare your life!"
"No problem! No problem! Why fight when we can be friends? My code name is Sour Thorn; I consider you a friend!" The Shadow Stalker readily tossed aside the Ion Laser Sword and raised his Mechanical Arms above his head in a gesture of full cooperation.
But in that instant, Lin Yuan moved with incredible speed, slicing through with two swift strikes that severed Sour Thorn's Mechanical Arms completely. Then with another blow, he cleaved the guy into several pieces until there was no life left in him. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
"Damn it! Even if it were one hundred and twenty Modification Points, I wouldn't care! It's strange enough to have my life on the line! Do they think I'm some kind of kindergarten friend?"
Lin Yuan had no faith in Sour Thorn's words; what a cosmic joke! This guy was clearly stalling for time. Since this matter involved high concentrations of rz Crystal, Sour Thorn must have accomplices. Who knows if the Troll Captain and his crew were currently fighting for their lives? For a little profit, Lin Yuan wasn't about to indulge in self-destructive behavior!
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan immediately set to work dismantling Sour Thorn's Mechanical Body into thousands of various Parts. He focused particularly on the Intelligence Chip and Energy Engine Armor, smashing them thoroughly to ensure complete destruction of the evidence. He understood that this situation was far from simple; whether it was the mysterious plans of the Troll Captain or this sudden appearance of Sour Thorn's team, it was clear that it was beyond what he could handle. To avoid drawing attention to himself, it would be wise to act with cunning.
He collected all of Sour Thorn's Mechanical Body Parts into a leaky Tank, mixing them with other broken Parts. Then Lin Yuan connected with the Troll Captain and shouted in panic, "Boss! Bad news! Yellow Sparrow is dead, but I didn't see any enemies! Requesting backup! Requesting evacuation!" (To be continued.)
