Chapter 559: Chapter 203: 9 Sons

"Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Dragon Style, Ya Zi!"

A line connected the two Yin-Yang Axes, and the magnetic field of the Yin-Yang Axes of Subsidiary Meridian pulled a small part from a large aerosol cluster next to Zhili Jiliu, dragging it along to form a serpentine trace like a dragon.

The two dragons roared and danced, accompanying Zhili Jiliu’s assault.

Xiang Shan should have retreated. His external armor was damaged, and entering the aerosol would have "unpredictable" consequences for him.

Yet, he defied common sense and charged forward!

— He could maintain it... for a few seconds!

The temperature inside Xiang Shan was far higher than outside. Whether it was the continuous radiation of power from the nuclear fission reactor or the "waste heat" generated during movement and computation processes, both were far higher than the body temperature produced by the energy-efficient bodies of warm-blooded animals.

The air pressure inside his body was also much higher than outside.

The metal aerosol near the damaged area of his external armor would be blown away in a short time.

The Martial Ancestor even had some small skills, which could make the cooling system in a specified area of his body leak a little—just like the mech-breaking technique, it only needed the right angle and force. However, doing this was like setting a "shutdown countdown" for his prosthetic body. Xiang Shan wouldn’t consider doing this unless it was a critical moment.

Xiang Shan raised the handle of the Sonicon Blade, blocking one of the Yin-Yang Axes.

However, the magnetic field on that Yin-Yang Axe suddenly vanished. The metal aerosol, originally carried by the magnetic field of the Yin-Yang Axe, continued to rush forward due to inertia, forming a stable torus that expanded before Xiang Shan—headed straight for Xiang Shan’s wound.

Guardian Zhi didn’t give Xiang Shan a chance to control his weapon, as the automatic reel in the middle of the Yin-Yang Axe quickly retracted that section of the axe.

The other Yin-Yang Axe suddenly changed direction, swinging sideways, slashing towards Xiang Shan’s Prosthetic Eye.

This was also one of the most vulnerable locations on a Benchmark Man. Although the Prosthetic Eye was much more powerful than a natural eye, scratches on the surface of the eyeball could still greatly impair a Martial Artist’s vision.

Xiang Shan lowered his body, dodged the move with a diving action, and then spun around, bypassing Guardian Zhi’s defenses.

The retracted Yin-Yang Axe stuck to Guardian Zhi’s forearm using magnetism. Guardian Zhi pulled his hand back, adjusted his arm’s magnetic field to the maximum, and struck with all his might.

Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Snake Form, Manasvati

The punch drove the entire cluster of metal aerosol, almost engulfing Xiang Shan.

Guardian Zhi was no fool who would forget the Snake Form after using the Dragon Style!

"Not bad." Xiang Shan blocked the strike with his left forearm, and his right hand swiftly delivered twelve consecutive punches.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Guardian Zhi took the punches in succession, his body swaying, nearly losing his balance.

The reel activated again, pulling a piece of metal aerosol back with the other Yin-Yang Axe. Regardless of how small Xiang Shan’s "wound" was or how high the internal air pressure was, it would be futile if the Yin-Yang Axe directly forced the aerosol into the wound.

Xiang Shan dodged to the side.

And Guardian Zhi seized the moment. He threw the Yin-Yang Axe in his hand, using a bit of reactive force to reposition himself. The two Yin-Yang Axes collided mid-air, and the two aerosol clusters merged into a spreading "plane," then disintegrated into countless vortices, swirling towards Xiang Shan’s lower abdomen.

Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Dragon Style, Pulao.

This was one of the "Dragon Style" moves Guardian Zhi created, a desperate counterattack.

Xiang Shan vibrated his arms, disrupting the surrounding air currents, while simultaneously throwing punches at Guardian Zhi,

Chilled by the fear yet inspired by a burst of boldness, Guardian Zhi loudly exclaimed, "Jiaotu!" Both Yin-Yang Axes’ magnetic fields restarted, "biting" onto Xiang Shan’s arms and wrists. Guardian Zhi pulled on this line, simultaneously parrying and attacking, dissolving the equation.

This was the Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Dragon Style—Jiaotu.

And what came next was the ingenious move to switch from defense to offense.

Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Dragon Style...

"Gong Fu!"

In mythology, Gong Fu is a dragon resembling a tortoise, with a saying, "shedding the tortoise shell to transform into dragon form."

In the Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Dragon Style, "Gong Fu" can link from most moves of the "Tortoise Form" and can also be used to link the Dragon Style moves that combine offense and defense.

Guardian Zhi’s magnetic field shut down, suddenly losing control of the Metal Aerosol, and Xiang Shan could no longer predict Guardian Zhi’s movements through the flow of the Metal Aerosol. Even more energy was allocated to hand-to-hand combat.

Guardian Zhi’s fist and the Sonicon Blade Scabbard brushed past each other, igniting a cluster of metal particles. But the explosion was only momentary. Although about one-fifth of the Metal Aerosol was destroyed, the release mechanism inside Guardian Zhi’s Prosthetic Body immediately patched up this gap.

Then came...

"Dragon Style, Suan Ni!"

In mythology, Suan Ni "enjoys smoke and prefers to sit," often depicted atop incense burners in ancient Central Plains. In the Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Dragon Style, Suan Ni also rapidly expands the Metal Aerosol Cluster through dense attacks.

Several Sect Defenders from the Six Dragons Sect watched all of this nervously.

Guardian Zhi’s Mystic Tortoise True Gang stormed through, forcing Xiang Shan to repeatedly dodge and defend. But this also blocked the view of those few, hindering their support.

They could only see in the faint silvery haze, two figures rapidly exchanging blows. Fists, scabbards, and Yin-Yang Axes moved almost too fast for them to react, and the occasional flashes of light marked the ferocity of the battle. They couldn’t even grasp the whole picture of the fight.

In the eyes of these Sect Defenders, Guardian Zhi and the Hero seemed to fight with the intensity of dozens clashing in battle!

—No... no, that’s not right...

The Firearms Path Sect Defender suddenly realized, this wasn’t merely "fighting with the intensity of dozens."

"The footsteps have indeed multiplied!" the Gunner shouted out loud.

But it was already too late at that moment.

Several footsteps sounded simultaneously. Several whooshing noises followed.

—Ah!

Guardian Zhi was actually the last one to realize this. Xiang Shan seemed to intentionally use the noise from his fighting to mask those false sources of sound.

Even as Xiang Shan turned to leave, Guardian Zhi was still throwing several moves into empty space.

—It’s too late...

Guardian Zhi turned the magnetic field to its maximum, linking Dragon Style’s "Taotie" to Tortoise Form’s "Spirit Turtle Drains the Sun’s Blood," and the Aerosol Cluster, thereafter using the Yin-Yang Axes to redistribute, transforming most of the Metal Aerosol into a narrow stream to sweep the surroundings.

Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Dragon Style—Mocking Wind!

This move would leave its user defensively vulnerable, a top-tier risky technique.

—Which side... which side...

Guardian Zhi gritted his teeth and focused his attention in the direction of that Firearms Path Sect Defender, chasing after the footsteps on that side with the Yin-Yang Axes.

On the other side, a giant and terrifying figure stepped out of the grey mist in front of the Sect Defender holding the Yin-Yang Axes.
