Chapter 738: 382 Chapter Transforming Fierce Fire【Part One】

A blade silently pierced through the dense fog, targeting the back of Lian Yunhui’s head.

This strike had no warning and was exceptionally swift, almost instantaneously transitioning from standstill to supersonic speed.

But Lian Yunhui immediately responded in the most extreme way—he swung his weapon backward.

The weapon Lian Yunhui used appeared to be an edgeless heavy sword on the surface. It was so thick and heavy, closely resembling a "door panel," that it could even be used as a shield. For Homo sapiens, it would take several people to lift it with difficulty.

But that was not the most impressive aspect of the weapon.

It was actually a "container" for a Sonicon Blade. It looked like a blunt weapon. However, if one were to adjust the magnetism and speed during a swing or a slash, the Sonicon blade hidden within would slide out and take effect.

Compared to the basic Sonicon Blade magnetic field generator—in this case, the sword handle held by Xiang Shan—this heavy sword’s structure could pack in more working units, providing stronger magnetism and finer control. In a supersonic attack, the Sonicon blade would not be easily thrown off.

The longsword struck the incoming sharp blade, but the touch was not as expected. This "sharp blade," inexplicably, felt soft and mushy, and its alloy material was completely off. The struck "sharp blade" made several crisp sounds, and the Sonicon Blade did not fully achieve its purpose.

Then came a second blade, stabbing from the front.

Lian Yunhui turned the magnetic field up to maximum, manipulating the metal aerosol with the magnetic field to stir the surrounding atmosphere, blurring his exact location from all angles while executing several clearly rhythmic steps.

The metal aerosol immediately thickened. Now, both parties were blinded, and the sonar radar was disrupted. The magnetic cutting lines generated as "sensations" were the only reliance of the two Martial Artists.

Lian Yunhui employed all his intellect in facing the terrifying entity hidden within the fog. He knew this was the move that would determine the victory.

Then, an intense reaction occurred ahead. Two blades stabbed through.

Lian Yunhui instantly realized, it was that transformable electromagnetic weapon—comprised of countless flaky, blocky modules of machinery that could serve as rails for an electromagnetic gun, and when necessary, even the metal sheets that made up the weapon could be shot as ammunition.

This weapon was good for bullying the weak, but somewhat inadequate against experts.

The external armor of experts was sufficiently hard. Without special features, merely being shot by metal sheets, it was difficult to achieve a killing blow in one shot.

However, Lian Yunhui dared not underestimate his opponent. The other was a Martial God, the god of martial arts. It didn’t matter that he was using a transformable electromagnetic weapon; even if his opponent had been wielding a flintlock, Lian Yunhui had to handle it with utmost care.

The giant sword was raised, then slashed down precisely. The vector injectors on Lian Yunhui’s arms activated directly, accelerating the giant sword’s speed. Due to inertia, the Sonicon blade inside was delayed a half step.

This was a move from the Sonicon Blade swordsmanship, one that the basic handle could not execute. With this strike, the giant sword would slash down with lightning speed, which would typically break through any defensive stance. Then, the giant sword would rebound backwards, mitigating the opponent’s counterattack while protecting the blade.

In this process, by lowering the internal magnetic field of the giant sword, the Sonicon blade could make a second slash after the sword rebounded.

And it was mostly aimed at a vital spot just as the opponent’s stance was disrupted.

Indeed, it was a cunning and vicious strategy.

The giant sword passed between the two transformable magnetic weapons, forcefully slashing towards the very front.

With a "boom," the explosion opened the air, and the opponent seemed prepared, adopting a defensive stance in advance, transferring more force underground. However, Lian Yunhui’s giant sword uncontrollably bounced up.

The slash landed on the shield left by Amilcare—the thickest part of the prosthetic body, and the internal shock-absorbing layers were also quite impressive.

But...

—There was hope... there was hope...

—And then the stroke from the Sonicon Blade... the variable magnetism weapon had not yet returned to defense...

—Even if the effect couldn’t match targeting the Ninth Martial God... as long as it could strike...

Unexpectedly, a "clang"—or rather three "clangs"—echoed across Lian Yunhui’s body.

Lian Yunhui was shocked to find two magnetism weapons’ spikes embedded in his own epidermis. Also colliding with his body was... was...

the blade of the Sonicon Blade.

The Sonicon Blade did not slash into the new Martial God; instead, it sliced into Lian Yunhui. A small crack immediately began to "grow". Although this "growth" soon diminished, Lian Yunhui’s prosthetic body was no longer sealed.

Then, a turbulent flow just rushed in.

Mystic Tortoise True Gang·Snake Form·Precious Titled Dragon King (Vasuki)

Xiang Shan seized that moment. One of Lian Yunhui’s hands immediately stiffened.

His thinking had nearly stalled.

He growled, "Why..."

"Dragon Style·Ya Zi variant, just created," Xiang Shan said, while his figure flashed like electricity. He flung the two magnetism weapons away, unexpectedly flinging out the blade of the Sonicon Blade. Xiang Shan flung the handle of his own Sonicon Blade, barely catching this new blade, "It seems that the frequency you chose is broadly effective against military officers..."

Mystic Tortoise’s "Dragon Style·Ya Zi," an attack fierce as twin dragons vying for a pearl. Of course, the real essence of this move was "Disrupt and Strike", which could use two Magnetic Traps to lock onto a Sonicon Blade’s blade.

Although Guardian Zhi had created this move based on the prototype of Magnetic Trap·Yin-Yang Axes of Subsidiary Meridian, it could also be slightly modified for use with other weapons capable of emitting strong magnetic fields.

And the variable magnetism weapons were relatively cheap to produce. Besides the "electromagnetic gun rail", they also had other uses—flat steel-cored bullets, to prevent shooting at one’s own armor’s weaker spots.

In terms of magnetic field alone, these weapons were stronger than the handle of the Sonicon Blade.

After all, swordsmen rarely grip their weapons with all ten fingers. A too-powerful magnetic field might not be beneficial for the Sonicon Blade.

After locating the enemy’s rough position via magnetic lines, Xiang Shan’s four magnetism weapons, like Phoenix Tail Feathers, began to move, attacking from several different directions, seeking to confirm the specific location through "touch." When the first "Phoenix Tail Feather" was cut, Xiang Shan had already perceived the nature of the opponent’s weapon, hence he continued with feint attacks, forcing this high-level military officer into a certain dilemma.

Then, he deliberately used "Ya Zi" attacks, using two electromagnetic weapons to "limit" the opponent’s attack range, ensuring that the opponent’s attacks would ultimately hit his newly acquired shield.

Indeed, as Xiang Shan predicted, without knowing about the "Mystic Tortoise True Gang·Dragon Style", this high-level military officer had decided on "Use force to defeat Technique". And when it came to "Use force to defeat Technique", "Breaking stance with the greatsword, followed by Sonicon Blade blade" was a superior choice.

Lian Yunhui’s swordsmanship indeed included such a move.
