Boundless
"Boom--"
The artillery fire exploded with a deafening roar, and the shockwave sent debris flying outwards.
Leiya had no choice but to abandon his attack plan and quickly retreat to the side.
The shockwave didn't damage it; it only splashed some mud onto it, but...
"Damn, this is a pain!"
Leiya cursed angrily, then raised his eyes to look at the city above.
Missiles trailing plumes of flame descended one after another in an orderly fashion.
This is why they didn't come up first, and why they needed so many low-level Calamity Beast.
Low-level Calamity Beast can effectively help them deplete these humans' weapons.
"Stop standing there, hurry up and keep up!" Shuofeng's voice came from not far away.
Leiya withdrew his gaze, looked at the human not far away, and charged forward again.
Similar to the two Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi, Shen Heng's current situation is not much better.
However, the problem with him is that he used to be easily cut in two if he wasn't careful, but now he has to keep an eye on the situation in several places at the same time.
Two Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi in different directions, unseen wind blades that could strike at any moment, and missiles falling from above.
There are just too many things to pay attention to!
Sight, hearing, touch, perception of the Origin Power, intuition of danger...
In normal martial arts combat, one mainly relies on vision; the rest depends on subconscious attention. One only needs to carefully observe when movement is detected.
However, this fighting style proved somewhat inadequate in this particular battle.
Any one of these, if left unattended, could have fatal consequences.
However, his overall condition is indeed better than before.
At least, the slowdown in the Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi's offensive meant he no longer needed to run at full power and overclock continuously!
But it's only slightly better.
The battle continues.
Shen Heng's body gradually began to show more wounds.
After a long while, Shen Heng took a moment to glance at the battlefield.
Roaring machine guns, howling Calamity Beast, deafening artillery shells...
We have to hold on for a while longer. This can't go on. Is there any way to fix it?... Shen Heng let out a heavy sigh. The heat from his armor condensed into white mist as it reached the outside world.
Even though the situation improved slightly, his body, which was already nearing its limit, gradually began to be unable to support him in continuing the fight after a series of injuries.
Now, we either need to recover physically, or we need to find a way to reduce the physical and mental strain of combat and minimize the injuries we sustain.
The first possibility can be ruled out. He has no way to directly restore his body or suddenly boost his physical condition to support the use of Flow Overclocking for a period of time.
So, is there any way?
Shen Heng lowered his eyes slightly.
Combat experience, reaction speed, and physical fitness are not things that can be improved in a short period of time.
Are there any other methods?
Mental strength?
He can indeed control the projection of his mental energy, but the effect is merely a perception similar to Sound Wave Imaging.
Furthermore, because his mental energy is insufficient, the distance he can perceive is far less than that of his own Sound Wave Imaging. Shen Heng can currently only perceive a range of about one kilometer.
The only advantage is that it's faster than when Shen Heng uses Sound Wave Perception, which requires analyzing the sound waves.
In combat, it simply means he doesn't have to turn his head.
Moreover, the wind blades could not be sensed by mental power.
Are there any other methods?
The burning pain inside my body seemed to gradually subside, replaced by a numbing sensation.
Shen Heng's heart sank a little more.
"Whoosh--"
An invisible wind blade struck.
Shen Heng dodged the attack by sidestepping, and just as he was about to continue moving, his figure suddenly paused slightly.
Mental perception alone cannot detect wind blades, and Sound Wave Imaging alone is a bit too complex. So, what about combining the two?
Shen Heng's eyelids drooped slightly.
In his mind, a vast amount of spiritual power, like a giant beast awakening, began to operate wildly.
A large amount of mental energy was mobilized and invested into the continuous stream of sound waves.
The sounds of wind, scythes cutting through the air, missiles whistling, Calamity Beast roaring, explosions, and bullets whistling...
One sound after another was captured and analyzed by mental power, and finally Reconstruction into a dynamic, three-dimensional, holographic map.
To be honest, this is not much different from normally perceiving sound waves, except that the speed of analysis is a little faster because more mental energy is used.
This time, however, Shen Heng did not withdraw his mind after sensing the situation. Instead, he maintained this perspective and observed the entire battlefield.
He felt himself enter a strange state, as if his soul had left his body and was floating in mid-air, overlooking the entire battlefield from a third-person perspective.
The arc of the north Shuofeng, the trajectory of the Leiya, the path of the wind blades Rend the Sky, the parabolic trajectory of the falling missile, even the subtle changes in airflow caused by Han Ling's slight adjustment of the gun muzzle in the distance...
"Whoosh--"
A blade of wind strikes.
Shen Heng mobilized a portion of his consciousness back to his body, then manipulated his muscles, channeled his Origin Power, and swung his longsword.
"Clang!"
The wind blade shattered.
The next moment, a dark shadow appeared.
Shen Heng didn't stop; he quickly leaped away.
"Whoosh--"
The scythe swung.
Shuofeng looked at the human in front of him with a puzzled expression.
For some reason, although the battle was still the same, he felt that the humans in front of him were suddenly acting differently.
It frowned, its gaze fixed on the humans not far away.
The battle just now flashed through his mind, and the movements of the humans in front of him suddenly became clumsy at the very beginning.
It initially thought that the human in front of it couldn't hold on due to his special condition, but unexpectedly, as the battle continued, his movements became fast and fluid again.
This smoothness was unlike when I first fought it, where the opponent could react immediately and respond accordingly.
It's more like... they knew in advance?
After frowning and watching for a while, the Shuofeng didn't stop and rushed straight up.
Regardless, the other person's body couldn't hold on any longer; that's a fact!
The battle was already underway, and Shen Heng's movements became increasingly fluid.
The "sound map" in my mind is updating faster and faster, information processing is becoming more and more efficient, and the coordination between body and mind is becoming more and more precise.
He sidestepped a wind blade, then slashed down with his longsword, forcing Shuofeng back half a step.
Retreat to avoid the predicted missile impact point, and at the same time kick away a Second Tier Shadow Wolf that pounced on you.
He spun around, the blade grazing the edge of Leiya's scythe, sending sparks flying.
He pressed forward again, channeling his Origin Power into the blade, and with a horizontal slash, forced Shuofeng to leap backward.
Every movement is concise, precise, and efficient, with not a single unnecessary action.
But Shen Heng's face didn't show much joy; he slowly exhaled.
While dodging the attacks of the two Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi, the figure looked up with a serious expression.
There, the beast tide was rapidly advancing towards the mountaintop...
