This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 349: 188 Chapter: The Sparrow Stalks the Praying Mantis Seraad’s Despair_2

Seraad stepped over Mogaro and stood in front of the control panel as he spoke.

Excitement surged within him, stealing from an A-Level Life Form and getting away with it, then making a fortune with the help of the Jin people at the end.

He had played everyone for a fool.

After this incident, his reputation would rise to another level.

"Ha... An A-Level Life Form is nothing special." He grinned, everything was ready, and he abruptly pushed the lever.

Instead of the anticipated feeling of weightlessness from the propulsion, an alarm sounded, "Drip--Main engine chamber leakage, please repair immediately."

"The engine’s broken?" A chill ran through Seraad’s heart, and that bad feeling arose spontaneously.

He quickly opened the ship’s environmental recording, checked the log, and found that the Night Eye mercenaries had been watching this ship, but had not approached it.

"It wasn’t their trickery?" Seraad did not relax, his eyes suspicious, "Could it be an accident?"

He was hesitant, but with the hope of leaving so close at hand, he cautiously made his way to the main engine chamber.

Though it was a large spaceship, it would take at most ten minutes to reach the bottom-level engine room, yet he dragged it out for half an hour.

All the way, he was extremely careful, fearing any traps.

But when he arrived, he found someone had opened the pressure cover of the engine chamber, causing it to fail in pressurization.

Not until he closed the cover and nothing happened did Seraad finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the unease in his heart dissipated somewhat.

"Really an accident?"

He muttered to himself, turned, and hurried back to the cockpit, but as soon as he crossed the hatch, a shiver ran from his tailbone to his forehead, sweeping through his body, causing his hair to stand on end and his heart to beat violently.

He stiffly turned his head to look and saw in a corner, a tall and burly figure, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, wearing a black coat, their features unclear.

"This... When did you!" Seraad was shaken to the core, his eyelids twitching.

But after all, he was someone daring enough to steal from an A-Level Life Form, and soon calmed down.

Out of caution, he was still using the Mimicry of the Jin people.

This method was his reliance, even A-Level Life Forms couldn’t see through it.

"You... Who are you? This is a Judger Civilization’s spacecraft, stepping aboard without permission is considered a declaration of war." His voice trembled with steadiness, a good act.

Li Ming looked on with interest, "Is that so? Then why are all these Jin people lying on the ground?"

Not far away, Mogaro, barely clinging to consciousness, tried to speak, but could only twitch his fingers.

This nerve gas wasn’t lethal to B-Level Life Forms like them, but it was highly paralyzing.

"This is an internal matter of the Judge Civilization, none of your concern." Seraad was unsure, but did not mind delaying time.

Since the entire cabin was filled with nerve gas, no matter who the other party was, it was highly unlikely they were an A-Level Life Form, the longer the delay, the better.

"Hehe..." Li Ming chuckled, "Forget it, Seraad, stop pretending."

Seraad’s heart lurched with fear, the worst premonition still came true, the other party was here for him!

But he didn’t understand what had gone wrong, the Night Eye Mercenary Group obviously wasn’t sure he was here, otherwise the A-Level Life Form would have come sooner.

Then who else could see through his disguise?

He didn’t believe that the interstellar raiders they encountered along the way had the ability to see through his disguise and infiltrate here silently.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning crossed his mind, a pair of indifferent eyes vaguely emerged before him, was it the Mechanic?

But there was no time to think too much, with his identity exposed, Seraad turned and ran, very decisively, without a single thought of confrontation.

"Quick reaction." Li Ming commented. He had planned to launch a surprise attack, but didn’t expect the other man to be so keenly aware of his environment.

Then he also disappeared, stirring up a gale.

Seraad intended to tear through the metal hull to escape the spaceship, but the rapidly approaching sense of danger made his hair stand on end and filled his heart with terror.

"How is this guy so fast!?"

If it were an ordinary B-grade life form, he could have created enough distance within a few breaths, then broken through the hull and left with ease.

But this guy was too fast, there was no time to delay.

"The speed is indeed very fast..." Li Ming was amazed in his heart, this Seraad, who had been enhancing speed all along, was indeed much faster than ordinary B-grade life forms.

Little did he know, Seraad was even more astonished.

"Could this guy also be a B-grade life form specializing in speed?"

Cursing his bad luck, such life forms were hard to come by on ordinary days, and now encountering one meant big trouble.

The large spaceship seemed extremely small in front of their speed, and there were even a few times they nearly brushed past each other.

"It won’t do, I must escape. His speed is faster than mine, he will eventually catch up to me," Seraad’s face changed again, as he took another turn.

What puzzled him even more was that the neurotoxic gas in the cabin seemed to have no effect on this person, and delaying time was useless.

Li Ming followed closely behind, and the gap was closing. He didn’t blindly rush around; a slight delay in the face of the opponent’s speed would mean losing sight of him.

Suddenly, Seraad clenched his teeth, his skin rapidly suffused with blood, and his speed soared to another level, instantly pulling away several turns.

Then his steps came to an abrupt halt, his arms surrounded by blue swirls of air, whipping up a fierce wind in the corridor and heading towards the metal hull.

He was prepared to take a hit from his opponent, even if it meant ripping open a gap in the hull.

As an evolved body also specialized in speed, even if the other’s development was further along, their lethality couldn’t be too much higher; he should be fine taking one hit.

This thought flashed through his mind.

Then, his face shockingly changed. Without any warning, the other suddenly appeared not far from him!

There was no fierce wind caused by kinetic energy, this wasn’t something speed could explain.

Seraad couldn’t believe it. The other’s black robe was long gone, revealing a combat mecha that suddenly erupted with red arcs, mixed with wild wind and flames.

There was no time for shock, as he saw the fist trailing the fiercely burning Red Arc, like a comet falling from the ninth heaven.

Seraad’s pupils contracted, and a terrifying force, incomprehensibly powerful, hammered onto his shoulder, shattering his scapula in an instant.

Agonizing pain assaulted his nerves, and his vision stretched wildly.

Boom!

Like a meteor, he was violently knocked through several walls, the red lights in the cabin flickering non-stop, and the entire spaceship shook incessantly.

Seraad was embedded in the wall, his mimicry long broken, his face in a daze.

"Well done, daring to take a punch from me," a faint voice sounded by his ear, Seraad opened his mouth to cough out mouthfuls of blood, unable to stop coughing.

Li Ming was also quite surprised. He had possessed the Tan Guard Mecha, bolstered by the speed system, and with the "Space Blink" ability, he was able to move with the Tan Guard without disassembly, as the two had become one.

This was his first time fighting this way, and he wanted to see if there were any shortcomings.

Turns out, as he was chasing, Seraad, for some unknown reason, had suddenly stopped, and naturally, he didn’t hesitate to switch and use the combat system.

Seraad had taken his punch without any defense, and the fact that he wasn’t killed outright was a testament to the vitality of a B-grade life form.

Seraad himself was bewildered. Where did this freak come from? Not only was his speed incredible, but his strength was also overwhelmingly powerful.

Even a B-grade life form developed to a hundred percent shouldn’t be so comprehensive.

After pulling Seraad from the wall, Li Ming brought him back to the cockpit.

The blurred-eyed Mogaro struggled to make out what was happening, and when he saw the grievously injured Seraad, his heart jolted.

Seraad leaned against the wall, his face ashen, his severe wounds leaving him immobile.

Meanwhile, Li Ming connected an intelligent terminal to the spaceship, operated it for a while, and after scanning the people lying on the ground, he turned to Seraad, sighing, "The Shadow Concealment Star Thief is indeed impressive."

Seraad felt the compliment held a hint of mockery, and he coldly said, "Are you a man of the Mechanic?"

"The Mechanic?" Mogaro on the ground felt a shock in his heart.
