158: Chapter 158 Sky-Piercing Mech! Beta Field!

At this moment, Li Mo and his team, unaware of the situation, were still recording intelligence on the Baiou Empire's troop deployments and major unit movements.

Zheng Jiahao worked efficiently, and before long, he had recorded the intelligence here.

Since Li Mo and his team had brought anti-signal jamming equipment this time, Li Mo instructed Zheng Jiahao to transmit this intelligence directly back to the Daxia troops.

However, just at that moment, the electronic device in Zheng Jiahao's hand was suddenly struck by an unknown, mysterious force, shattering it into pieces.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions instantly tightened, and they looked behind them.

Then, a man from the Baiou Empire slowly crawled out from the grass.

"Two in the Liangyi Realm, and five in the Blood Transformation Realm. The intelligence team's data is indeed correct!"

The man was named Jones, a member of the Baiou Empire's secret special forces.

This secret special force was, in reality, a special unit directly under the command of Wright of the Baiou Empire, similar to Daxia's Shadow Martial Army.

Seeing that none of them exceeded the Sanhe Realm, Jones's demeanor instantly became relaxed.

"Daxia troops, state your unit designation! I do not kill nameless people!"

If it were before, Li Mo and his team might have been afraid upon encountering someone in the Sanhe Realm, but things were different now.

They had already subdued experts in the Sanhe Realm several times; whether it was Walter or Baal, both had died miserably at their hands.

At this moment, Zheng Jiahao said speechlessly, "He is so pretentious!"

Li Mo shook his head. It wasn't that Jones was being pretentious; rather, it was because for military merit in the Baiou Empire, one had to know the opponent's rank and unit designation, otherwise, meritorious service would not be recorded.

Since this was a reconnaissance mission, Li Mo and the others were not wearing their military badges, so Jones could not determine their ranks.

Since the other party asked so sincerely, Li Mo decided to satisfy him.

"Li Mo, Commander of the Vanguard Battalion of the Daxia Fourth Army Group!"

Upon hearing the name Li Mo, Jones's expression changed instantly.

"So you are the one who killed General Walter? You damn fellow!"

Walter's strength was actually not considered very strong within the Baiou Empire's forces, but he was highly respected, so many in the military revered him.

This included Jones, who belonged to the secret special forces.

"You fellow, to think you killed our veteran general! Do you know how much value he had to our Baiou Empire! You have already invited your own death!"

When Jones said this, Li Mo was somewhat speechless. He changed his mind; Zheng Jiahao was right, this guy really loved to act pretentious!

Li Mo told Zheng Jiahao to take out a new device to continue transmitting intelligence, while he himself took out his long spear, preparing to deal with this person.

Although Jones was in the Sanhe Realm, he didn't seem much stronger than Walter.

Li Mo had been able to defeat Walter just after entering the Liangyi Realm, let alone now.

However, Li Mo was wrong this time; this Jones was really not that easy to handle.

Because his talent was of the Manipulation Type!

The next moment, Jones retreated, snapped his fingers, and then a huge object flew over from the distance.

Everyone looked up and realized it was actually a twenty-meter-tall qingtian mech, covered in blue coating and looking lifelike!

Wu Yuqing mused, "This is one of the Baiou Empire's top cutting-edge technologies, the qingtian mech!"

Mechs are a type of humanoid battle armor manufactured using high-strength alloys and star crystal technology in modern times.

Mechs not only have extremely strong defensive capabilities, but they are also equipped with various types of artillery and weapons, making them invincible killing machines on the battlefield.

In fact, Daxia also has mechs, and even the Black Earth Tribe has mechs, but for these two nations, mechs are merely for auxiliary combat.

However, for the Baiou Empire, which excels in technology, high-end cutting-edge technology like mechs is the foundation of their survival.

Especially since Jones had a talent for the Manipulation Type, pairing it with a mech was like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings.

No wonder Jones was so pretentious; being in the empire's secret special forces was one thing, but being a mech pilot on top of that—people like him were rare in the entire Baiou Empire!

The mech flew over and directly completed its transformation in mid-air, while Jones flew into the interior of the mech with lightning speed, merging with it.

Li Mo felt no fear at all; he leaped into the air and thrust his spear toward the qingtian mech.

Clang!

Immediately afterward, a metallic clashing sound rang out from the qingtian mech.

To Li Mo's surprise, his strike had only left a tiny, faint scratch on the mech.

One must know that Li Mo had not held back; that was his full-power strike, and furthermore, Li Mo was using the peerless divine weapon used by Marshal Yue Wuyun. Theoretically, no metal, no matter how powerful, should have been able to withstand it.

Li Mo retreated, feeling somewhat puzzled; logically, the Baiou Empire's mechs should not be this powerful.

"Hahahaha!"

Jones inside the cockpit let out a burst of crazy laughter.

This brainless fellow directly told Li Mo the intelligence.

"Li Mo! Let me tell you! This is our Baiou Empire's latest developed technology, the Beta Force Field! Within the range of this force field, the effectiveness of the enemy's attacks will be greatly reduced! The effect of the Beta Force Field will also increase as the pilot's realm rises!"

"My Baiou Empire will surely rule the world! And today, I will avenge General Walter!"

Saying this, Jones raised the star crystal laser cannon mounted on the mech and aimed it at Li Mo.

Li Mo's expression instantly tightened. This place was at a mountain pass; if Jones bombarded it like this, it would surely collapse.

The critical point was that Zheng Jiahao and the others would also be affected.

Therefore, with a thought, Li Mo immediately changed his position. He was locked on by the laser cannon and soon took a blast.

The laser cannon mounted on the qingtian mech was already comparable in power to a crystal core cluster bomb; a single shot almost flattened a forest spanning over ten miles.

Fortunately, Li Mo had the armor of the heavenly emperor, so this kind of attack could not hurt him.

Standing on the ground, looking at the scorched earth around him, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh. If his armor of the heavenly emperor also had an effect similar to the Beta Force Field, he would truly be invincible in the literal sense.

Li Mo had no intention of playing with Jones any longer. This iron turtle and the Beta Force Field were indeed impressive, but most martial artists with Manipulation Type talents above the Sanhe Realm were barely worth mentioning.

There was only one reason: no matter how powerful the things they controlled were, they ultimately lacked a soul!

Faced with soul attacks, their resistance was extremely low!

Li Mo had not forgotten the words General Mo Yi had taught him: when dealing with martial artists below the Sixiang Realm, if Li Mo used his soul projection method, it would be equivalent to slaughtering chickens and dogs!

The next moment, a black phantom suddenly emerged from behind Li Mo, swiftly pouncing toward Jones inside the mech's cockpit.

Looking at this scene, Jones was almost scared to the point of wetting himself.

"Liangyi Realm! Soul projection? What the hell is this!"
