The dust formed a magnetic levitation mirror surface that enveloped much of Guardian Zhi’s figure, also obscuring his eyes.
This naturally would cause his own vision to be blocked.
However, the Nameless Swordsman’s Inner Strength was so strong that opening his eyes was not a wise choice, so this seemingly disadvantageous situation actually became more like an “advantage” for Guardian Zhi.
Indeed, for someone with enough understanding of the “Mystic Tortoise True Gang” martial art, the position and trajectory of these “mirrors” or “chakras” could serve as a basis for predicting the stance used by the Prosthetic Body behind the mirrors.
But this would be like “judging the exertion of muscles based on the lines on the skin to predict the opponent’s movement,” an action “theoretically possible but practically unfeasible due to overly stringent conditions.”
——Don’t be afraid…
——Comrades have already left wounds on this behemoth with their lives, and the remaining condition for victory is “to deliver the poison into its body”…
Guardian Zhi visualized and took his last deep breath.
Simultaneously, the system started to conduct a final self-check on the program controlling the electromagnetic system of his feet.
This program could ensure that when the Martial Artist has the intention to “lift his foot,” the magnetism under the sole would disappear just right, and then, when the foot landed, there would be just enough magnetism.
At the same time, it also had to make sure that the Martial Artist wouldn’t make the wrong decision in a moment of panic.
All was OK.
Then, Guardian Zhi became a shadow.
Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Snake Form, Taksaka.
The protector, closing his eyes, transformed into a black shadow.
The magnetized metal particles moved a little slower.
However, the magnetic field pulled them along with the turbulence, accompanying the Martial Artist as he moved.
The turbulence of the metal aerosol elongated behind the Martial Artist like a fearsome poisonous snake slightly raising its half-body and glaring at its enemy.
According to the legends of Tianzhu, Taksaka could bring death with just a glance.
The power of science was reshaping mythology.
But at this moment, the great Taksaka faced a myth born on this shore, in the modern era, another kind of god walking among humans!
Xiang Shan stepped forward with his left leg and extended his right leg backward, lowering his entire body.
As if prophetic, he dodged the first strike and grabbed Guardian Zhi’s wrist from the side.
——Oh, which what-whatever Dragon King…
which one was it?
What was it again?
——Shouldn’t have used Buddhist terminology to name this thing.
I don’t adjust my mental state through religious experience.
Can’t really remember the names of the Eight Great Dragon Kings…
and I don’t even like Sanskrit…
Xiang Shan’s mind still harbored random thoughts, but his hands didn’t stop for a moment, transferring a wave of internal force that broke the opponent’s stance.
Guardian Zhi felt a surge of power on his hand coming from an angle his stance could hardly resist.
This force threats to breach his balance through the center of his body.
Xiang Shan pressed on, looking for an opportunity to employ the technique of witnessing.
Guardian Zhi reacted quickly, changing his moves.
Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Tortoise Form…
“Black Tortoise Exhales True Qi!” Guardian Zhi shouted out.
His forearms automatically sprayed out a burst of metal aerosol.
The aerosol was instantly magnetized and controlled before rippling out like water waves.
Xiang Shan didn’t dare to receive this attack.
His current External Armor had defects, and if these metal particles entered his body, it would cause a short circuit.
That would be too big of a problem.
So, Xiang Shan changed his move quickly, gave a light pull, and then a heavy toss, causing a series of sparks to erupt from beneath both their feet.

At this moment, they were still on the nearly vertical wall.
In such a state, they couldn’t arbitrarily leave the surface of the wall, or they would risk plunging to their deaths.
This limited their actions.
Using Guardian Zhi as a pivot for exertion, Xiang Shan temporarily burst out with inconceivable mobility, avoiding the True Qi spat out by the Mystic Tortoise and the turbulent poisonous snakes whistling toward him.
The metal aerosol turbulence rushed past Guardian Zhi’s side, part of it passing overhead and dispersing, but most of it was revived by the magnetic field, turning into the “Cyber Chakras” around Guardian Zhi’s body.
Guardian Zhi’s uncontrolled hand had the index and middle fingers extended straight out, forming a “Sword technique” gesture, continuously making stabbing motions in the air.
His palms, the back of his hands, and between his fingers all had additional magnetic field generators.
Mystic Tortoise True Gang, Snake Form, Precious Titled Dragon King (Vasuki).
A small amount of metal aerosol was yanked out, caught up in several streams of turbulence, spirally stabbing towards the wounds on the Martial Ancestor’s body.
Then, they were crushed by a palm from Xiang Shan.
——Which Dragon King was that again?
Nine-headed?
Must be, right?
As the inventor of this set of Martial Arts, Xiang Shan was very aware of what should happen at this moment.
This is when the Martial Artist of the Mystic Tortoise True Gang should split a few minor aerosol turbulences to attack the enemy’s heat vents or Armor gaps, hoping to cause a short-circuit injury.
However, calculating the turbulence was still a problem, and the accuracy of such moves largely depended on mysticism.
To improve the hit rate, one would have to strike several times in one round.
That’s why it was initially given the name of a dragon king with many heads.
(Precious Titled Dragon King is also known as the Multi-headed Dragon King or Nine-headed Dragon King, and also called Poxiu Shu Dragon King or Fasuzhi Dragon King)
——I should’ve just named it “Hydra” or something like “Kill Shot Nine Lives”…
With such thoughts, Xiang Shan used his fan-sized palm to whip up the breeze and shatter the tiny incoming assaults.
“That’s not how you use the Dragon King!” Xiang Shan sighed, “You should’ve launched the move where I couldn’t detect, right?
This move is only for sneak attacks!”
On a four-armed Prosthetic Body, this move would probably perform better.
In the midst of talking, Xiang Shan had already exchanged several moves with Guardian Zhi at great speed.
The metal aerosol further spread, and Xiang Shan also had to let go of Guardian Zhi’s wrist to adjust his stance.
Suddenly, he made a gesture and swiftly retreated three meters.
A silver light was thrown from behind the Mirror of Iron Flower and then exploded as it neared him, ejecting a small clump of metal aerosol.
It was the Yin-Yang Axes!
“I see.
The foundation of this unique weapon is also magnetism.
After incorporating Gang Qi Martial Studies, it was indeed able to produce various different changes.” Xiang Shan couldn’t help but nod in approval.
This did slightly expand the application range of the unique weapons.
The Yin-Yang Axes churned the metal aerosol, like a dragon spiraling through the clouds.
Guardian Zhi’s figure was faintly visible, but his voice was exceptionally clear: “You indeed don’t recognize these changes.”
“Due to King Aqini’s existence, it is impossible to practice such advanced Inner Strength on Earth.
But you’re also unfamiliar with the use of the Yin-Yang Axes of Subsidiary Meridian, clearly having not experienced the killing fields of Jupiter or the Asteroid Belt.”
“You’re extremely familiar with Taksaka and the Precious Titled Dragon King, perfectly seizing the opportunity to interrupt…
Just who are you?”
At this instant, Xiang Shan’s first reaction was…
——Which move was Taksaka and which was the Precious Titled Dragon King again?
——Inga did no small harm.
Never again should the right to name an invention be impulsively shared with others.
