"You're the culprit who attacked the slave market!"
Han Xiao also pretended to be shocked, as if he had just recognized Ashes. His acting skills were superb, and the shock in his tone was as real as it could be.
According to the information that Dark-star had, he was just an insignificant passerby. Once they fought, they would definitely discover that he was the witness of the hasty fight that night. From Ashes' perspective, they had only met once, which was the night of the slave market attack. Therefore, it was normal for him to pretend that he recognized Ashes' ability and treat him as the culprit.
There was another purpose for this disguise, which was to hide the fact that he knew the truth about Dark-star and avoid suspicion.
From the moment of the attack, this series of thoughts had been brewing in Han Xiao's mind.
As expected, seeing his surprise, Ashes did not even think that 'Han Xiao was the mysterious person who discovered the origin of Dark-star'.
On the night of the attack, due to the area being blackout, both of them were wearing masks and mechas, so they did not know each other's identity. They did not expect to meet each other by accident.
Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road!
Han Xiao was the first special opponent who was immune to [Carbon Atom Deconstruction] despite being of a lower rank than himself. Although it was only a short fight, he left a deep impression on Ashes. He would never forget it.
Ashes was shocked. His previous nonchalant attitude was swept away, and his eyes were filled with curiosity and fighting spirit. "Last time we fought in a hurry, and there was no clear winner. This time, I'm not in a hurry."
The witness was the culprit who exposed the attack, and his real identity was the target this time, Black Star. With the addition of new and old grudges, Ashes was full of fighting spirit and decided to use his strongest ability.
Ashes clenched his fist, and the black carbon dust swirled and condensed into a straight double-edged sword. The atomic structure was dense, and it turned into diamond. Although it was very brittle, Ashes could repair it at any time to make up for its shortcomings. It was both strong and tough.
Boom!
At the same time, countless black dust particles were ejected from the ground. They were very small and floated in the air, drilling into the gaps of the mechas.
Han Xiao felt the pressure as the enemy's aura increased exponentially.
Originally, Ashes thought that taking down Han Xiao would be an easy task, but he found that he was wrong. This was a difficult opponent, so he changed his mind and took out the attitude of facing a strong enemy to face Han Xiao, completely serious.
Hu — —
Seven Sonic Spheres flew out and floated in the air, creating a sound amplification field. Ashes' cage had limited space, so it could create an excellent reverberation effect.
With the black scythe in hand, the shield of the Hovering Shield Shuttle surrounded his body. His gauntlets, arm gauntlets, and leg gauntlets lit up with red and blue heat. The parts of his body that had been strengthened with the Electromagnetic Combustion technology last time were at full power.
Due to signal interference, Han Xiao could not call for support from afar, so he could only fight in his mechanical suit's normal state. Without any backup equipment, it was extremely disadvantageous for a Mechanic.
"Hide to the side." Han Xiao pushed Aroshia away and turned his scythe. The electric blade slashed out and hit the wall, but it was not damaged at all.
His eyes darkened. The wall was too hard, and he couldn't break out.
There was no way out. He could only fight.
At this time, the seven Dark-star warriors unleashed their abilities. The three Pugilists were like beasts and dragons, charging forward in a triangular formation and surrounding Han Xiao.
Bang!
The scythe slashed out a full moon and clashed with the three of them!
The shockwave spread out and reverberated in the cage!
Aroshia was forced to the edge and could only watch from the side.
Ashes was extremely curious about Han Xiao's ability to be immune to control. Since he had set up signal interference, Black Star would not be able to call for support, so he had the time to slowly torture Han Xiao.

Ashes's Esper ability was very strong. Not only was he good at close combat, but he could also control countless floating dust particles to turn into spears or tentacles to restrict Han Xiao's movements. So far, the biggest threat was the dust particles that seeped into the gaps of the mechanical suit and changed shape inside, destroying the structure of Amphiptere. At least one-third of the damage was dealt by Ashes.
The seven DarkStar warriors cooperated well. The three Pugilists restrained Han Xiao, throwing punches and kicks at each other ferociously. Of the two Espers, one could secrete strong acid, and the other could convert cosmic energy and inject special metals into them, causing them to become structurally unstable and turn into explosive bombs. The two of them hid at the side and madly attacked Han Xiao. One spat saliva, and the other threw iron balls.
There was also a Mechanic who was good at electromagnetic interference and AI intrusion. He connected to Amphiptere through his combat suit and wrote a hacking program to interfere with Amphiptere's system, even trying to seize control of it. Han Xiao's AI technology was still in the realm of basic knowledge, so he could only turn off most of the automatic functions and maintain the manual neural link. He stopped probing and analyzing to prevent Amphiptere's system from being breached. This Mechanic also controlled several shield generators to block damage for his teammates.
The last person was a Lightning Mage who worked closely with Ashes. He used carbon dust as a bridge to release electric magic, and Ashes turned it into strong conductive graphene to increase the power. He also formed an all-around electric shock to burn down Amphiptere's internal circuits.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Attacks fell on Amphiptere like a storm, and the number of wounds increased rapidly. Seven people of the same level and one strong enemy besieged Han Xiao. It was as if he was facing a stormy sea, and it was difficult for him to fight back.
Even after activating [Snake — Demon], he could barely maintain the situation. He wanted to kill the enemy, but he could not.
The durability of the mechanical suit dropped rapidly. In just a few minutes, it had dropped to sixteen percent. It was almost destroyed, and it was on the verge of collapse.
Han Xiao took a deep breath and poured all his energy into the propulsion device. He twisted at a shocking angle and escaped from the battle like a fish, heading straight for the Esper who was spitting acid. As he approached, Garrett fired a cannon at that Mechanic, making him unable to protect himself and unable to control the shield to protect his teammates. Garrett then swung the black scythe and was about to chop down on his head.
"Explode!" Ashes shouted and clenched his fist. Before Han Xiao attacked, he could give the damaged Amphiptere one last blow!
In an instant, countless spikes bloomed inside Amphiptere!
The mechanical suit was instantly riddled with holes, and it was about to fall apart.
At this moment, a blurry white light bloomed, and the Amphiptere that was about to shatter miraculously gathered together. Its energy level was restored to its peak.
Machinery Continuation!
"What!" Ashes was shocked and surprised. His sure-kill attack had failed to break Han Xiao's combat weapon. It was too late to stop it now.
The acid Esper originally believed that Ashes could stop Han Xiao in time, but he was shocked and could only watch as the cold light of the scythe expanded in his vision.
At the same time, Will Burn!
Swoosh!
A deep black light flashed, and blood splattered everywhere. A hideous scar extended from the top of the acid Esper's head to his chin, as if it had split his face into two.
The enemy's HP plummeted!
"Ahhhh!"
The acid Esper screamed and fell to the ground, blood spurting out from his face. Before Han Xiao could slash down, Ashes hurriedly blocked him.
The next moment, Amphiptere shattered into parts on the ground.
The Machinery Continuation allowed Amphiptere to last for another five seconds, and it was this extra time that allowed Han Xiao to slash down and heavily injure one of them!
"Huff, huff …" Han Xiao panted heavily. He had wanted to kill the acid Esper for a long time, and the acid Esper kept spitting at him. How disgusting!
Ashes's expression was ugly. His subordinate was heavily injured, and it was partly because of his mistake. Anger rose in his heart.
However, this was just a pure accident. There would be no suspense in the following battle. Black Star had already reached his limit after holding on for so long. From the moment his mechanical suit shattered, Han Xiao was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and he would not be able to fight back anymore.
A Mechanic who lost the protection of his mechanical suit would have his combat power reduced by at least half!
"The battle ends here. I said that you would suffer less if you don't resist, and I'm a man of my word …"
Ashes's eyes were cold. "Are you ready to feel pain?"
Amphiptere was destroyed, and he could not summon a backup mechanical suit. Han Xiao's body was no longer protected. He glanced at the broken parts on the ground, and his expression did not change at all. He casually placed the black scythe on his shoulder and said, "Don't speak too soon. The battle will only be over when I fall."
