Chapter 574: Chapter 218 Follow Your Heart Creatively

No one had ever used the Gang Qi system like this before.

"Spinning metal aerosol at high speed into a disc-shaped cluster" itself wasn’t remarkable, "throwing it out" was physically improbable. It was an aerosol, a fluid, not a solid!

Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume that the magnetized metal particles really could support this, this cluster of metal aerosol was nothing more than "a cyclone."

For a Benchmark Man who basically weighed several tons, it was harmless.

The reactions of the two protectors were delayed by half a beat because of this abnormal move.

The first one only realized something was wrong at the very last moment from the commotion, but it was too late. He could only barely deflect his head to one side.

But the aerosol cluster obstructed his vision and also shielded the electromagnetic radar.

Additionally, the trajectory of the metal aerosol exhibited counterintuitive characteristics.

He did not completely avoid the Yin-Yang Axes of Subsidiary Meridian inside it.

The high-speed spinning Yin-Yang Axes struck his Prosthetic Eye. That protector’s "world on the left" was immediately devoured by cracks. The rapidly moving metal aerosol also scratched his other Prosthetic Eye on the opposite side.

Then, the Yin-Yang Axes rebounded off his head’s side, curling toward the other protector and striking the other man’s right eye.

Mocking Wind, a close call, top of the façade. In myth, Mocking Wind is a dragon child who loves adventures, so the ancients of the Central Plains adorned the corners of palace roofs with it.

The "Mocking Wind" from the Mystic Tortoise True Gang’s Dragon Style was also an adventurous move. It caused the Martial Artist to maintain a "throwing" posture with the upper body and allowed the Yin-Yang Axes to carry away a significant portion of the metal aerosol, leaving his own defense wide open.

Guardian Zhi developed the Dragon Style, Mocking Wind, with the original intent of quickly shifting the position of the aerosol cluster to control the battlefield. At the same time, the move could use the aerosol cluster to conceal the exact position of the Yin-Yang Axes, making them harder to dodge.

However, the Yin-Yang Axes of Guardian Zhi’s creation were too light.

That was inevitable. To ensure that the thrown Yin-Yang Axes, after capturing the blade of the Sonicon Blade, could move with the blade’s momentum and be safe from being sliced by the Sonicon Blade, they were made very light.

In this era where everyone wore heavy armor, such light blades could not inflict damage. Let alone scrape an itch, such injuries were essentially polishing the armor.

If not for striking an optical component like a Prosthetic Eye, this device basically caused no harm.

However, in the process of the attack, Xiang Shan serendipitously conceived another usage.

The Magnetic Field Generator used by the Mystic Tortoise True Gang could control the high-speed rotation of the aerosol cluster. And the Yin-Yang Axes were light enough. Plus, the electrical interface already on the Yin-Yang Axes supported high-speed rotation.

Therefore, he tried, using magnetic levitation techniques, to spin the Yin-Yang Axes, enhancing their lethality a bit.

The magnetic field inherent to the Yin-Yang Axes could be adjusted at any time. Coupled with the wires connected to the Yin-Yang Axes, Xiang Shan could freely manipulate their flight trajectory.

At the same time, he pinned down an enemy with one hand, repeatedly interrupting the enemy’s exertion to rise, using his control over the enemy’s center of gravity. In this moment, the enemy became his shield, and the "weakened defense" that came with Dragon Style, Mocking Wind was as if it never occurred!

Since the protector was so close to Xiang Shan, the Gunners hesitated to shoot, fearing at any moment Xiang Shan could retract his power and use the protector to block the bullets.

The Levy Envoy behind him, seeing the metal aerosol soaring with the Yin-Yang Axes, exclaimed, "Is this an internal Sect refined version of the Mystic Tortoise True Gang? Dragon Style? How is that possible?"

"The in-house algorithm could also have been compromised..." The Gunner stood up and said to Levy Envoy, "Levy Envoy, take the Holy Maiden and Brother Guama and leave quickly; I’m afraid this situation can’t be resolved amicably anymore."

It only took a moment for the three protectors in front to fall into an even deeper peril.

Xiang Shan instantly abandoned the protector kneeling on the ground and rushed into the middle of the other two.

Both of these protectors had just had one eye taken out by the "Mocking Wind," leaving their vision shattered on one side, while the Prosthetic Eye on the other side was somewhat blurred.

Usually, such an issue could be resolved by the squad forming a local area network and sharing their vision.

But the members of the Six Dragons Sect knew another piece of intelligence: among the heroes present, one had power not inferior to that of Iron Heart Dharma King.

With everyone connected to the network, Iron Heart Dharma King could instantly wipe out this squad.

Upon discovering that new enemies had joined in, the Six Dragons Sect’s members silently disconnected from the network.

Thus, Xiang Shan accurately cut into the blind spot shared by these two protectors’ vision.

Under the effects of Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Metal Aerosol criss-crossed, dividing the battlefield and making it difficult for the Six Dragons Sect members to support each other.

Seeing this, the Gunner no longer hesitated, leapt out of cover, and fired several shots at the edge of the Metal Aerosol. He was signaling his presence to the opponents, slightly limiting their decision-making and reducing the strategic options available.

But the reality was desperate. If a powerful Martial Artist’s strategic options held an overwhelming advantage, even reducing them to one-tenth of the original was of no avail.

Xiang Shan fought more and more freely. Past memories and new technologies gradually merged.

He also became increasingly aware of Guardian Zhi’s problem.

Guardian Zhi cared too much about this set of Martial Arts.

He chose this Martial Arts at an inappropriate time. He would even be restricted by the "names" and "imagery" of the moves.

The "name" of a move often contains the creator’s intuitive description, sometimes even compressing information from common strategic sets into this "move description" by utilizing "cultural background." There are also creators who instill "stories" into boxing techniques based on "imagery," to help others grasp the essentials of certain actions more vividly.

Of course, a modern Martial Arts system created by a super computer with hundreds of moves is not included in this category.

To suit the "Tortoise Form" and "Snake Form" created by his predecessor, Guardian Zhi forcibly put together a "Dragon Style" from myth. Dragon Style is indeed a good Martial Arts form, with strategies to cope with various situations, but Guardian Zhi paid too much attention to the "imagery" of the moves, limiting his way of thinking and making the creator of the moves far less proficient than him, the learner.

After taking down one of the protectors, Xiang Shan retrieved the Yin-Yang Axes that were lodged in his Prosthetic Eye. The presence of the Martial Artist was given away by the Yin-Yang Axes, and Xiang Shan could sense the opponent’s position even through the Metal Aerosol.

Xiang Shan glanced at the unique weapon and noticed it was slightly deformed.

"Hmm, it’s still okay. Anyway, this thing is cheap to make."

Thinking this, Xiang Shan prepared to deliver the killing blow.

Off in the distance, the Gunner continued to sprint and futilely fire at the Metal Aerosol.

Just then, a voice cut into the battlefield: "Wait a minute, Uncle Xiang."
