544: Chapter 188: Gang Qi System 544: Chapter 188: Gang Qi System Xiang Shan raised his Sonicon Blade, gazing straight ahead—or rather, directly into the sky.

The Sect’s Defenders from the Six Dragons Sect instinctively avoided his gaze.

They either grabbed onto floorboards or window frames to stop themselves.

At the same time, they turned their heads away.

Xiang Shan felt several radar waves sweep over him.

These radar waves were all in different frequency bands.

The people were definitely receiving only one of them at any given time.

To some extent, this was enough to replace vision.

With his gaze alone, Xiang Shan forced these guys to retreat into a defensive position.

They could only use different active detection methods in turn to avoid Xiang Shan’s hack.

But it was Guardian Zhi who felt something entirely different.

Zhili Jiliu felt immense pressure coming from Xiang Shan’s stance.

It was as if he were charging towards a massive mountain.

The members of the Six Dragons Sect were instantly pushed back, no one continued to descend.

And the glass they had shattered kept falling down like a drizzling waterfall.

These sparkling fragments of various sizes continued to plummet, striking towards Xiang Shan.

Some of the fragments hit Xiang Shan, shattering into glittering splashes.

Xiang Shan then swung his Sonicon Blade, ensuring the fragile blade could weave through those larger glass pieces like a butterfly.

The blade’s strength was indeed greater than that of tempered glass.

But a direct collision with tempered glass would still accelerate the deterioration of the blade.

“Don’t be impulsive,” the Banner Leader said through a direct infrared signal.

Guardian Zhi’s hand rested on his waist: “There’s only one chance.”

The Banner Leader understood his meaning, but was somewhat puzzled; “Is there such a tactic…

Will this be effective?”

“Trust me,” Guardian Zhi responded.

The Banner Leader slowly nodded, then waved one hand, conveying the command through sign language.

The last wire-guided missile on Guardian Zhi’s shoulder also shot out.

Xiang Shan, seeing this missile, had to retreat quickly.

If the missile exploded near him, the blast wind could potentially toss him into an area where he could not touch the building’s surface.

Unable to decelerate the descent, the impact of the fall would be enough to kill him.

He had to retreat.

And with that retreat, he gave the Six Dragons Sect members room to maneuver.

Most of the Sect’s Defenders from the Six Dragons possessed either “Electromagnets” or “High Polymer Viscous Material,” allowing them to move on walls.

They had just moved from the exterior wall to outside the Vice Captain’s office window, even if their own Prosthetic Bodies didn’t have such functionalities, they had now attached relevant plugins.

Even a Lightweight Prosthetic would have these slots.

Several Sect Defenders followed the missile’s momentum, rushing towards the alloy-covered external wall, seizing advantageous terrain while Xiang Shan was forced to dodge.

But Xiang Shan drew a beautiful arc on the wall, moving behind the missile, and took advantage of the brief moment before the missile fully accelerated to cut the control data line with his sword.

Then, he countercharged, and, before the AI could decide, he slashed off the missile’s warhead.

All this was done in a matter of seconds, but it also allowed other members of the Six Dragons Sect to seize advantageous positions.

Three Sect Defenders then charged in the direction of gravity.

Xiang Shan was unafraid, rushing straight forward.

Their figures crossed paths.

Xiang Shan moved like a ghostly shadow with a slight sway, and his Sonicon Blade spun half a circle like flowing water.

The three Sect Defenders didn’t even catch a glimpse of Xiang Shan’s footwork before he had already dodged behind them.

Then, a terrible grating sound erupted from one of the Sect Defenders, as a cut slowly grew.

“Ah…”

This Six Dragons Sect Defender cried out in alarm, trying to retreat.

But Xiang Shan had already turned around, approaching once more like a ghostly apparition.

One hand tucked the sword behind him, while the other clenched tight, the huge fist already pulled back, charged with power.

Xiang Shan’s fist collided head-on with the Six Dragons Sect’s stance.

Then, with a sickening crack, the upper body of that Six Dragons Sect Defender suddenly separated from his lower half.

His lower body, along with the power source in his waist and abdomen, was left behind.

The remaining part, having lost the External Armor and external framework to hold it together, was directly knocked downwards.

“Aaaaah!” This Sect Defender screamed as he fell, quickly disappearing from earshot.

Xiang Shan redirected his gaze to the other two Sect Defenders.

He had actually given each of the three defenders a strike with his sword, using two completely different frequencies matched to the crystal structures of two commonly used alloys.

As a result, the Sonicon Blade only proved effective on one person.

But Xiang Shan’s swordsmanship was truly first-rate; the remaining two didn’t even realize they had been struck by his sword as they crossed paths.

Xiang Shan lunged toward the remaining two, but at that moment, a gun barrel aimed at him.

Reacting to the visual hint from behind, Xiang Shan immediately spun, letting the bullet graze his chest and executed a rapid Unloading Force with his waist and abdomen.

Incredibly, a Six Dragons Sect protector had set up a large gun on this vertical wall, establishing a fire point.

“A passable close-quarter fighter and a passable ranger” is more dangerous than “two passable progresses.” Xiang Shan immediately changed his target.

But the Banner Leader and Guardian Zhi seemed to have anticipated this.

The two alternated their coverage and charged toward Xiang Shan.

The Banner Leader practiced a type of Martial Arts known as “Extreme Fist,” which was also a widely spread major school.

He was also adept at three-dimensional movement techniques, equipped with several suitable accelerators for more advantageous repositioning and dodging.

This guy traced several graceful arcs in mid-air, skirting Xiang Shan’s sword by a hair’s breadth, and closed in on him astoundingly quickly.

Then came the extremely hard and fierce punches!

With a loud “clang,” the Banner Leader, as if his body struck a large bell, was shaken back in reverse.

For an instant, his feet left the wall—he was almost suspended in mid-air.

Xiang Shan wouldn’t miss this chance, closing the distance in a flash, grabbing the man’s left arm, and with a slight shake, broke the defensive stance set up by his opponent.

And then, the full-strength blow followed.

Xiang Shan gripped the Longsword with his right hand in reverse grip and struck.

But in that opportunity, Guardian Zhi also made his move.

Xiang Shan could have finished off the Banner Leader with a few more punches, but Guardian Zhi wouldn’t give him the chance.

Guardian Zhi’s blade was rather peculiar, a type of Exotic Blade that Xiang Shan had never seen before, comprised of two Crescent-shaped arcs intertwined, held in hand, only slightly longer than a dagger.

The theoretical cutting ability of this thing was roughly the level of a “high-frequency wave blade.” But out of caution, Xiang Shan gave up on the Banner Leader and thrust his Longsword toward Guardian Zhi.

It was at this moment that he witnessed a strange sight.

In an instant, the scene before him changed.

A “mirror”… A mirror-like a haze of grey fog suddenly appeared before him.

The mirror also held a reflection of Xiang Shan, thrusting out with his sword.

Xiang Shan was startled, but he was not unfamiliar with this scene.

Gang Qi!

This was the Gang Qi System!
