Chapter 739: Chapter 383 Inflammation [Part 2]

Of course, although Xiang Shan considered this to be a "very excellent but mediocre" move and anticipated that the opponent would most likely use this type of skill, he also had several variations to counter if the opponent used a different maneuver.

The protector of the Six Dragons Sect, Zhili Jiliu, had put some efforts into "Ya Zi" and "Mocking Wind" and possessed a deep understanding of "how to change tactics when at a disadvantage." Xiang Shan could specify countermeasures based on Guardian Zhi’s experience using Mystic Tortoise True Gang’s Dragon Style under such circumstances.

However, based on Xiang Shan’s feedback from fighting with this high-level military officer who practiced Gang Qi martial arts, this guy was on the "excellent yet mediocre" level, and the character profile displayed by the Martial Strategy Group was roughly the same—there was a very high probability that he would use this move.

Xiang Shan determined that he was on the "second floor" of the game, so he couldn’t be in the "basement" or the "fifth floor."

While the two magnetic transforming weapons were attracting the Sonicon Blade, they also recorded the vibration frequency of that Sonicon Blade. Limited by the accuracy of the electromagnetic devices, Xiang Shan could only know a rough frequency and could not use these transforming magnetic weapons to control the Sonicon Blade, but when the Sonicon Blade just left that great sword, it still maintained that vibration.

The incident just proved that this frequency was effective against part of the external armor of high-level military officers—at least those in Paradox City.

Xiang Shan flicked his longsword and then faced White Night Lux who was coming to help from the front. Under the cover of Lian Yunhui, "Virgo" made several charges but failed to kill this high-level military officer. She had been struggling to survive until now with the help of numerous soldiers and martial artists. But since Lian Yunhui had just called for help, she had no choice but to save him.

Lian Yunhui was now the most potent candidate to fight the Twelve Zodiacs. If Lian Yunhui died, White Night Lux would also be doomed.

Xiang Shan naturally was not polite to this kind of person, raised his blade to meet him, and moved as his blade went.

Due to the fear of "Virgo" being present, White Night Lux focused in the wrong direction. Moreover, she had not completed her preparations, and her prosthetic body was not functioning well; hence, she got clearly cut by Xiang Shan. He then quickly thrust out several swords and continuously fine-tuned the frequency to see which one could better slice through which part of the external armor.

These things did not mean much, as high-level military officers could customize prosthetic bodies, and different individuals would choose different external armor based on the needs of their martial arts. However, in Paradox City, with so many high-level military officers, if a few of them chose common or similarly structured external armor, then Xiang Shan would greatly benefit.

Another entire elite squad came forward, and they were also equipped with Sonicon Blades. Ultrasonics outlined the stance of these people’s swords for Xiang Shan. He did not dodge or avoid, but met them head-on, and behind him, four "Phoenix Tail Feathers" moved automatically[although the wind on Earth generally can’t move them]

"I was just thinking maybe I could use it this way..."

Soon, Xiang Shan’s Phoenix Tail Feathers rapidly approached the enemy’s Sonicon Blades from the side, then used a strong magnetic field to pull the blade pieces out of the hilt—this move was effective against basic Sonicon Blades and, because of the magnetic field, Xiang Shan did not need to block very precisely.

Six blade pieces hung behind Xiang Shan, and that squad was completely annihilated by him.

Xiang Shan tossed his Sonicon Blade upward, and a hand emerged from the mist, catching the Sonicon Blade and then turning to fight another high-level military officer. It was "Aquarius" from the Twelve Zodiacs.

Xiang Shan flung his "Tail Feathers," landing the blades on "Aquarius’s" shoulder. The magnetic field generator inside "Aquarius" attracted the blades.

Then, "Aquarius" fought more and more distantly with that high-level military officer, and Xiang Shan kicked up a hilt. The thing he got was just a basic model, although the hilt required integration and precision, it was not rare, and it was very different from the "custom model" of the high-level military officer.

For Xiang Shan, it was easy to find a replacement for this thing.

Then, Xiang Shan raised his left hand. A cannon carrying an ammunition box fell on him.

It was "Gemini" passing by.

Xiang Shan charged outside the city.

At this time, the Ninth Martial God no longer hid himself but followed openly. His four great swords ripped through the air and the protectors’ military formation. And at that moment, Xiang Shan already had an understanding of dealing with Sonicon Blades. Upon detecting targets with Sonicon Blades, he would act preemptively, capturing the blade pieces with "Phoenix Feathers."

One fundamental reason Paradox City’s soldiers could pose a threat to the Martial God was the abnormally high allocation rate of Sonicon Blades. The Ninth Martial God, trapped for sixty years with insufficient ammunition and deteriorated components of many optical and electromagnetic weapons, was unable to annihilate them on a large scale, yet they were able to penetrate the Ninth Martial God’s defenses with Sonicon Blades.

But once this factor was removed, the gap between "top-tier strategic prosthetic bodies against conventional tactical prosthetic bodies" and "most supreme martial arts cultivation against conventional combat level" would be glaringly apparent.

Xiang Shan soon heard the sounds of combat coming from ahead.

....................................

Outside Paradox City, heroes were fighting.

In fact, the heroes’ reaction was half a beat slower than the government’s, which first noticed anomalies from the three experts from the Moon. The moment the Ninth Martial God broke free, it shocked not only the government but also the heroes.

The heroes only saw the government suddenly making a move, and then in an instant, the Ninth Martial God broke free.

When the Ninth Martial God loudly called out, Xiang Shan was also using the inner strength of the Eighth Martial God to hijack numerous loudspeakers. Even the heroes outside the city could hear it clearly.

"What?" "Ah?" "Really?"...

Several exclamations rang simultaneously on the heroes’ team channel. Solo Kill King immediately jumped up and shouted loudly, "What are we waiting for! Start drawing out some of the Houndhawks according to the plan! Go!"

A high-level military officer who had originally been stationed on the city wall immediately returned upon the spread of Metal Aerosol inside the city. Now only one high-level military officer remained on the wall. If the Ninth Martial God really had escaped confinement, all their high-level military officers would face a punishment more brutal than death.

This high-level military officer stayed to coordinate with the Martial God’s support personnel. If they allowed the heroes outside the encirclement to engage in support combat, the protectors would be even more passive.

However, even so, this high-level military officer still focused his attention toward the direction inside the city.

Like an ancient martial artist, Hiroshi Matsushima visualized and took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said in the team channel, "No matter what the Nameless Hero’s real name is, what we need to do won’t change. Get the missile squad ready... let’s start the attack!"
