Chapter 737: Chapter 381: Burn My Broken Body [Part 6]

In a sense, Xiang Shan’s judgment was not wrong at all. Lian Yunhui, who could skillfully use the Stardust Rotation Technique, was indeed one of the means the government had placed in Paradox City against the Ninth Martial God.

Within the Protector camp, very few people practiced Gang Qi Martial Studies. Gang Qi martial arts were designed to fight the many as the few and it hindered any military martial that required large-scale coordination—unless the scale of military martial was such that the range of electromagnetic signal transmission far exceeded the limits of what a single unit could intercept.

The government was powerful because of its control over resources and its great numbers. In contrast, Heroes relied heavily on high-mobility and intelligence gathering through Guerrilla Warfare, and their actions were dispersed.

For the government, practicing Gang Qi Martial Studies was an extremely cost-ineffective approach.

However, the government did possess an abundance of resources. They could invest heavily in various fields and try different tactics. Thus, among the Mobile Cavalry—more precisely, the Life Chaser and Cold Blood divisions—a portion did understand this martial art.

And the Ninth Martial God was an exceptionally rare practitioner of the Battle Formation Style Military Martial Path among the Heroes.

The Ninth Martial God was essentially an AI, so it was highly adapted to the external strength algorithms of the human brain, as well as the internal cultivation methods after extensive brain modification. Yawgmoth could only choose the Battle Formation Style if he wanted to stack supreme combat power for him.

However, people from the Jianghu believed that before becoming a Martial God, every Martial God had a different life, different experiences, slightly different brains, so it was normal to have divergent skills.

Having Lian Yunhui command an army would lead to the inability to use conventional intelligent command systems, and the army could only rely on more primitive sonic communications. This would result in an all-around drop in the level of the army’s battle deployment, actions, and coordination.

But the Protectors had ample resources.

And the Twelve Zodiacs had fallen even harder.

Corona War Specialized Prosthetic Bodies, which were already ill-suited for planetary surface environments, faced a layout designed specifically against them...

But Lian Yunhui did not feel the slightest bit of complacency. He didn’t even think he had gained any real advantage before the Martial God.

Lian Yunhui simply kept approaching Virgo, Aquarius, and then Gemini who arrived afterward. However, when he tried to get closer, the Twelve Zodiacs would assume a defensive boxing stance. With the help of the ultrasonic beams projected by drones, he could vaguely "see" the movements of the Twelve Zodiacs.

The "Air Control Circle" formed by limbs and weaponry was nearly impregnable. Even if there were gaps, they resembled "traps" more than anything.

At first, he did try to approach "Virgo," but as he got closer, an intense feeling of "death threat" immediately emerged—or rather, his brain’s backend attempted to process the essence of the Ninth Martial God’s boxing technique and concluded that death was certain.

In terms of results, he alone managed to pin the three members of the Twelve Zodiacs here, blocking their advance.

But he had no chance of defeating them by himself.

"Virgo," "Aquarius," and "Gemini" crushed the lines that tried to approach and attack them as if they were tearing down dried weeds.

When Lian Yunhui approached, the fuzzy sensation formed by the sensor’s interference with the magnetic field forced them to break rhythm and switch to defense.

The Sonicon Blade, a weapon targeting almost all crystals and quasi-crystals, forced the Ninth Martial God’s Twelve Zodiacs to be especially cautious of the surrounding attacks. "Gemini" would even use its multiple arms advantageously, grabbing nearby soldiers to block the Sonicon Blade’s slicing attacks.

The function of "weaponry" was not only to "attack" but also included "intercepting the enemy’s attacks."

Like this, Lian Yunhui continually roamed the battlefield. Along with the hard support of several other high-level military officers, and the presence of many Martial Artists wielding Sonicon Blades, they managed to create this situation.

——Just like this...

But at this moment, a faint and indistinct sound of footsteps came from the direction of the city, like the drumbeat of death, striking at Lian Yunhui’s heart.

```

The rhythm of these footsteps was extremely peculiar and blended with the noisy marching sounds of the soldiers. Coupled with the sound of the metal aerosol stirring the atmosphere, Lian Yunhui could hardly discern the exact position of the enemy.

Then, almost simultaneously, the "supersonic imaging" in Lian Yunhui’s mind became blurry and nearly collapsed.

The source of interference with the supersonic radar had thus appeared on the battlefield.

Creating a source of interference for supersonic radars wasn’t difficult. It could be a device capable of emitting ultrasonic waves or simply a resonance device—or both. This tactic could only offer a temporary advantage; it would only take a short time for the computer to rule out the interference and re-establish imaging with ultrasonics.

But the only problem was still...

The Ninth Martial God and the Twelve Zodiacs were both mechs specialized for the Corona War and wouldn’t possibly have equipment to disrupt sonic radars.

But as long as there was an atmosphere, Xiang Shan would not be short of such tricks on his body.

——He’s come to kill me...

Lian Yunhui was already at the final juncture and did not hesitate to immediately veer away from three of the Twelve Zodiacs and silently quick-march forward.

He could obstruct the progression of the Martial God and the Twelve Zodiacs to the maximum extent. As long as he could drag out the time until King Aqini’s fleet arrived, he could at least escape the dreadful punishment—Lian Yunhui knew that King Aqini had some methods more terrifying than "death".

——Only I can... Only I... No matter what...

This newly born Martial God—recognized by the Ninth Martial God himself, had a Prosthetic Body with parameters far inferior to the Twelve Zodiacs but had the advantage of being a Prosthetic Body for planetary interior environments and carrying items that could break the Protector Army’s tactics.

This Prosthetic Body might have been snatched from that infamous mediocrity, Amilcare, on the same level as the officers of Paradox City.

But Lian Yunhui dared not engage with this newly appeared Martial God.

In Lian Yunhui’s perception, "that sound" was getting closer yet he couldn’t pinpoint the exact location, like a breeze. Only after it had passed would the soldiers fall in unison like grass.

——Shake them off... Can I shake them off? I must...

Lian Yunhui grew increasingly panic-stricken. He tried to break away from the aid of supersonic imaging and mapped out the movement trajectory of the enemy within his own mind. He felt as if he had "seen" the winding curves.

Like the curves a snake makes when hunting its prey.

——Not good...

Lian Yunhui immediately raised his weapon while sending out a message in the form of a shriek.

He simply couldn’t hide; the enemy had him firmly in their sights.

And...

"I’m ready to settle the score..."

In that instant, the enemy also had no intention of hiding anymore.

With a melodious singing voice, a sharp blade silently thrust out from the silver mist.
