106: Bloodfiend Undying

From the very beginning, Li Aoz knew that he was no match for these people.

His proud Aoneng was greatly weakened by the Gamma-rank tier effect. Despite his fierce attacks, each of these people's attacks reduced his health by three-quarters, and he only managed to recover by using [Sever Life] to forcefully drain his health back.

For someone like me, who is only at the Beta-rank, simply restraining two people is already the limit.

However, a fully-developed Bloodfiend Style like his is a version that surpasses this one.

Although the Bloodfiend Style was created relatively early, its most powerful period was version 2.5, when all members went into space and shocked the aliens for a whole year.

Moreover, Li Aoz has the greatest advantage – two "Timeless Masterpiece" weapons.

[Item Name]: Dust-Sealed Sanctuary / Tsu・Shadow Edge

[Category]: Greatsword/ Tachi [Quality]: "Timeless Masterpiece"

"It's on."

The ' Dust-Sealed Sanctuary ' emerged from the light, as brilliant as a splendid dawn. Its blade was as soft as a feather, and its guard was shaped like a magnificent deer antler, woven from countless rays of light. The golden blade was largely openwork, making full use of the Tyndall effect, making it as hazy and beautiful as silk gauze.

This 140-centimeter-long greatsword feels almost weightless when wielded with one hand. Despite its cylindrical hilt, it doesn't slip at all. With just a slight twist of the fingers, the blade generates powerful light pressure, which not only completely compensates for the damage from kinetic energy, but the blazing hot blade also greatly enhances the destructive power of the edge.

The Dragon Sect Martial Artist Chu Wei had a gloomy face. The radiation damage on his body was still throbbing with pain, but he still chose to step forward. Li Aoz's gravity immediately dropped, but Chu Wei only paused slightly. He pressed his acupoints with his fingers, and his skin visibly turned red, as if he had turned into a fully cooked hairy crab, exhaling hot smoke from his mouth and nose.

[Reverse Flow Qi Alteration]

After activating the acupoints, the Qi flowed backward with the blood, and the whole body entered a state that completely violated human engineering. Even with the pressure of 150 times the gravity, with the Qi by his side, the reversed blood and Qi canceled out the gravity through rapid rotation, and even quickened his pace. He threw two shock flashbangs at Li Aoz, and at the moment of the explosion, he immediately raised a cloud of Qi in each hand and fiercely smashed it down at Li Aoz's weapon.

—The radiation-infused magic blade is difficult to deal with, so let's first disable your flashy but impractical greatsword!

"He's using super armor again—how annoying!"

Despite complaining, Li Aoz calmly hung the [Death Link] on himself and the ground beneath his feet. The [Eye of Truth] bypassed the sonic boom and flash, locking onto the opponent's trajectory. At the same time, he raised his right arm horizontally, and the light-forged blade from the Dust-Sealed Sanctuary calmly blocked the alternating fist attacks. Although it was clearly a human hand, the collision with the weapon sparked a continuous stream of sparks.

"This weapon—" Chu Wei exclaimed in surprise, "This is not scientific. Even the armor steel of a warship cannot withstand the corrosive force and high-frequency vibrations!"

The destructive principle of Qi is similar to using ultrasound to crush stone. Through extremely high frequencies, it can directly cause metal products to become fatigued. In the later stages, it is not uncommon for powerful Martial Artist to be able to crush atomic nuclei with their bare hands and cause a massive explosion.

In this era, there are no weapons that the Gamma-rank cannot break.

"Magic Weapon, kid."

[Attribute]: Physical damage +30 (Sharpness attribute), spell damage +120%*[Primary Attribute value] (Spell attribute - Holy) Sharpness: Deals at least 60 additional physical damage to unarmored targets.

Holy: For attacks launched from the front, [Power] will be considered to have gained a 200% increase;

[Greatsword Exclusive]: One-Handed – Wielding the sword with only one hand increases thrust damage by 300%, reduces attack speed, and extends maximum melee attack range to 2.65 meters; Two-Handed – Wielding the greatsword with both hands simultaneously increases critical hit damage by 100%, base damage by 200%, greatly increases attack speed, and reduces attack range to 1.4 meters;

[Pegasus Force] grants Li Aoz power far beyond what mortals can imagine, [Gravity] accelerates him, and [Soul-Inscribed Sword Saint] allows him to skillfully parry the deflected blade. He steps forward with his right foot, directly between Chu Wei's legs, attempting to seize the center line. His next strike will be aimed straight for Chu Wei's throat.

However, Chu Wei's movements were extremely cunning. He clenched his fist and slammed it onto the light-forged blade. With a flick of his finger, a ball of energy instantly struck Li Aoz's chest, like a 20mm Autocannon Bullet. Li Aoz staggered for a moment. Taking advantage of the moment, Chu Wei immediately increased the force of his palm, pressed down on the blade, and swung his elbow. The sharpest and strongest part of his elbow joint, the eagle beak, swept fiercely across Li Aoz's heart. Even after being weakened by the armor and gravity, and after the damage was transferred by the [Death Link], Li Aoz was still forced back repeatedly and was almost knocked away.

The elbow strike was as sharp as a knife, but Li Aoz did not immediately enter a near-death state. Instead, Chu Wei succeeded in the attack, groaned and quickly withdrew, retreating to the edge of the area. The [Spirit Medium] Miyamae Suzuka cast a spell to block Li Aoz.

"Hey, Chu Wei, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Chu Wei retreat, the monk, who was holding a Cross Spear, shouted at him in dissatisfaction, "I know that the Martial Artist of your Dragon Sect are not easy to beat, but I didn't expect them to be this fragile."

"Ryo Gūheisan, he used the power of Aoneng to bind my life to his own! You need to be careful."

"Aoneng? It's just a trick to fool people."

The monk soldier named Ryo Gūheisan raised his strange, dotted eyebrows slightly and disdainfully stepped onto the battlefield in his wooden clogs:

"Get out of the way, oh, Yin Shuya, put away your sniper rifle, let me show you the true power of the Crane School Martial Artist!"

"Whatever." Yin Shuya, a seemingly lazy [Ranger], put down the 55mm anti- Mobile Armor sniper rifle that would be considered a cannon by ordinary people, and lazily gave way. "Flowery Monk, that guy is coming for you."

Clang!

The Tsu・Shadow Edge then swept out horizontally, whipping up a purplish-black crescent. The monk wielding the Cross Spear was unfazed, raising his hand to block it with his hardened body.
