Phantasm Lantern Blast Fist

Oops!

Seeing the location of the opponent's attack, Yuno the vines, immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

This is where I'm about to land, and the ground is collapsing even faster than before!

This gravity is much stronger than the previous gravity; if you get hit...!

No, this intensity of gravitational wave is incomparable to previous gravitational waves.

Forget about hitting me, even a scratch would probably pull my body into the gravitational wave and pulverize it.

Moreover, because of its higher intensity, this gravitational wave has a larger attack range. If this continues...

At that moment, Yuno was at her wits' end, even heard the voice of that damned Honkai God.

Just like in Changkong City, this voice actually made a promise and invitation to Yuno at this moment.

Yes, if I hadn't joined the Honkai now, I'd probably be dead by now.

But—how could I possibly become your lackey!

Yes, there is still a way, but this way...

Just before being hit by the gravitational wave, Yuno punched herself directly in the body.

As she threw her punch, a huge wooden gauntlet suddenly materialized in her hand.

Despite the devastating impact of this attack, Yuno managed to avoid being crushed by gravity.

However, because of her actions, Yuno was launching a powerful attack on herself, managed to severely injure herself after knocking herself away.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing that the blood she coughed up contained fragments of internal organs, Yuno supported herself and tried to get up from the ground.

However, she was ultimately not an iron woman.

Her injuries had become even more severe in her attempt to avoid a fatal blow.

Even if the other party doesn't attack her now, she'll still be in mortal danger due to her serious injuries.

"Haha, that's interesting."

Seeing that Yuno had dodged the fatal blow, the blue-haired man walked towards the dying Yuno with a smile.

"You did survive the gravitational wave, but what's the point?"

"The game is completely over, little mouse, victory today—!!!"

Suddenly noticing a high-energy reaction behind him, the blue-haired man immediately rolled to the right.

But even though he managed to dodge in time, his left hand was still blown off.

"Damn it! How dare you!"

Watching the figure slowly emerge from behind, the blue-haired man used his Gravity Manipulation ability with extreme ferocity to create countless small Gravity Ball.

"How dare you injure my arm! You deserve to die!"

Enraged, the blue-haired man manipulated the Gravity Ball and launched them all at the enemies in front of him.

However, faced with the enemy's furious attack, Lin Yu did not make any unnecessary movements, but simply raised his right hand slightly.

After the stigmata on his right hand suddenly appeared and the text was switched to the word "phantom", all these attacks were 'erased' by the defensive wall created by Lin Yu using the magic lantern barrier.

"I should be the one saying that."

"You bastard, how dare you injure my companion..."

"—You fucking bastard, get ready to die here."

Chapter 128. Phantasm Lantern Blast Fist

"What?!"

Seeing that the attack he used to toy with Yuno was so easily blocked by Lin Yu, the blue-haired man, who was originally furious, was forced to calm down a bit because of the power Lin Yu displayed.

Is such shock really necessary?

After confirming that Yuno was not yet dead, Lin Yu focused all his attention on the Joyce Clone in front of him.

"The gap between you and me isn't that big to begin with, so is it strange that this kind of probing attack is ineffective against me?"

"Or rather—can't you, you dog, even sense the difference between us?"

Although Lin Yu's tone was very calm, when he uttered those contemptuous words in that same calm tone, Joyce Clone suddenly felt the anger that had just been suppressed by reason surge up again.

Seeing the anger that had just been suppressed on the other person's face resurface, Lin Yu could only sigh inwardly—children are so easy to fool.

Although Joyce Clone have the appearance and intelligence of adults, psychologically they are essentially newborn babies.

But those who possess great strength and a mature body, yet fail to grow psychologically... oh, that's called a giant baby.

These "giant babies" share some common characteristics.

Because they do have some strengths, they feel superior to others.

However, because they are actually quite naive, some practical tips that are useless to adults can be surprisingly effective on these groups.

For example, right now, Lin Yu just casually provoked the other party with a cold face, and the already limited rationality of the other party was instantly overwhelmed by anger.

Driven by anger, this Joyce clone might have an increased Honkai Energy level.

But fighting is never just about strength; it also requires strategy.

An enemy who is easily provoked and will lose his mind when provoked, no matter how troublesome his abilities or how powerful he is, is just a target full of flaws in Lin Yu's eyes.

As for Lin Yu's move of blocking Joyce Clone just now, it seems scary, but in reality, he knows that the Phantasm Lantern Barrier that was hastily set up is not that scary in strength.

Because one of Joyce Clone's hands was blown off after Lin Yu's sneak attack, the clone hastily launched an attack upon seeing Lin Yu, resulting in numerous attacks that lacked quality.

After he dispersed the attack, Lin Yu was able to use the 'weakening' property of the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to weaken the power of these Gravity Ball first, and then set up a second layer of magic barrier behind the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to completely neutralize the remaining aftershocks of the attack.

Even if it were the previous Lin Yu, with the command of the Royal Guard, he wouldn't have been able to perform such precise operations in such a short time.

However, after gaining the bonus to Precision Operation, he discovered that many of his abilities and methods that were previously just ideas could now be turned into reality with the help of Precision Operation.

Of course, if the Joyce Clone were to unleash a gravity wave a hundred times stronger than in the original story, Lin Yu's combination of [Phantasm Lantern Barrier + Magic Barrier] would definitely not be able to block it.

However, for the enemy to use this move, they must simultaneously perform tasks such as 'gathering energy,' 'locking onto the enemy's location,' and 'predicting the enemy's movement the Orbit's to ensure that this deadly skill with its extremely long wind-up can successfully hit the enemy.

Lin Yu didn't know if Joyce Clone possessed this level of skill.

However, he knew that as long as the opponent really started to prepare to build up his strength, the opponent would inevitably become distracted due to the power-building process, thus exposing his weaknesses.

"You've successfully angered me, brat."

At this moment, the Joyce Clone looked at Lin Yu in front of him, suddenly pointed his right arm at Lin Yu, and gently flicked his fingers.

"You actually dared to provoke the First Herrscher? You don't think that Changkong City's good luck will continue to extend to you, do you?!"

"Wow, this is such a terrifying sense of oppression."

After saying this expressionlessly, Lin Yu looked at the attack that the other party had launched from a distance.

This time, the Joyce Clone launched another attack on Lin Yu by flicking his fingers in the air. However, this attack was different from the previous Gravity Ball; it was much faster.

In the eyes of the Joyce Clone, although Lin Yu blocked his attack with that strange light screen, the speed at which the light screen unfolded was not particularly fast.

If a small shockwave, as small as a bullet, were flicked out with a finger, Lin Yu would have no time to dodge or deploy the strange light screen in the face of such a swift attack.

In the end, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this arrogant brat will be struck by his sudden attack, and the gravitational wave will crush part of his body.

As for what happened after that, Joyce Clone didn't think much about it.

In his eyes, if the other party is injured, how could he possibly lose to them?

He's the First Herrscher!

Even if the incredibly powerful First Herrscher lost an arm after being ambushed by a shameless scumbag, it's definitely not something a despicable attacker can easily take advantage of!

"Ha, they've changed tactics, too bad..."

At this moment, Lin Yu attached Honkai Energy and magic power to his right arm at the same time, and then used his right arm to block in front of himself.

"Hmph, foolish—what's going on?!"

The blue-haired youth, who was watching the gravitational shockwave make contact with Lin Yu's arm, exclaimed in surprise at the scene.

"What exactly did you do?!"

The gravitational shockwave was blocked by Lin Yu's arm the instant it made contact with his arm, which was enhanced with two special energies, thanks to the characteristics of the Royal Guard.

The subsequent gravitational collapse effect of the gravitational wave was interrupted on the spot because Lin Yu used the energy absorption characteristics of the Royal Guard to directly absorb the energy.

Of course, Joyce Clone wouldn't see so many details.

All he knew was that his attack had once again been easily blocked by the brat in front of him, whom Cocolia had called 'not much of a threat'.

Although the two sides had only exchanged two blows, if anyone else had faced the extremely serious 'First Herrscher' at this moment, they would have been seriously injured after just two moves.

As a result, Lin Yu didn't even bleed or get scratched, not even a tear in his clothes, and he didn't even frown. This outcome...

How could the great 'First Herrscher' possibly accept this!

"Oh, it's just that two attacks failed. Isn't that normal?"

Seeing that the man in front of him seemed even angrier, Lin Yu suddenly let out a helpless sigh.

"Alas, when masters clash, sometimes they have to exchange hundreds or even thousands of blows to test each other's intelligence and combat abilities in order to achieve the desired result."

"You've only made two moves, and you already seem to have lost your composure. You're not even as good as an elementary school student, let alone an expert."

"Why the hell do you talk so much nonsense!"

Although the two on the battlefield are undoubtedly mortal enemies, the young man in blue was surprised to find that the other was speaking in a tone as if a teacher were educating a student.

Unable to penetrate the defenses or out-argue the enemy, the Joyce Clone was clearly becoming increasingly irritable under the combined physical and mental attacks.

Faced with this enraged enemy who started frantically throwing energy balls, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh – wow, this moron is just too easy to deal with.

Just because I said a few casual words, he started throwing energy balls around everywhere.

Without testing my movement speed, it released a gravitational wave towards the spot where I had been, attempting to crush me.

After attacking frantically for a long time, he found that not only was his output zero, but he had also consumed a lot of his own power.

Sigh, looking at it this way, Chiyou is much more terrifying than it.

Even without considering energy intensity, Chiyou himself would not be provoked by others with words; he would only try to destroy anything that was in his way that was hindering him from becoming stronger.

Compared to Joyce Clone, who are emotional, intelligent, and powerful but easily provoked giant babies, Chiyou, a Honkai Beast that acts on instinct, is better able to unleash its full potential.

To be honest, from the moment we met until now, Lin Yu had been provoking the other party while also observing the attack methods of this Joyce Clone.

And the attack method of this Joyce Clone...

It can only be said that although he did not inherit Joyce's terrifying intelligence, the strange thing called 'muscle memory' did leave some trace on him.

Besides inheriting the ability to Gravity Manipulation through muscle memory, Joyce Clone are also quite skilled in manipulating strength.

The shockwave he just unleashed from a distance was essentially a complex process of compressing Honkai Energy, using this extremely powerful piercing attack to penetrate the enemy, and then performing a gravity collapse.

This kind of operation requires considerable power and control over Honkai Energy. The fact that this man could unleash such a sophisticated attack in a fit of rage only demonstrates that his strength is not to be underestimated.

If he didn't actually have mental and emotional problems, Lin Yu was certain that he would be worth far more than just a [Intermediate Gacha Ticket].

However, there are no 'ifs' in this world.

If you're not smart, you're not smart.

From the moment he recklessly wasted his power, he had already stepped into the trap that Lin Yu had woven for him.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Seeing that a bloody mark had finally appeared on Lin Yu's face, Joyce Clone finally revealed an undisguised joy.

"You little brat... you finally couldn't hide from me anymore!"
