Is this the strength of that world?
Nie Xingjun, who was being protected by Wang Ye in the distance, stared blankly at the scene. As one of the people left behind, he had always believed that power was more important than personal strength, even though force was now the dominant force in the world.
First, seize power, and resources will naturally flow in. Then, improving military strength will be a natural progression. He didn't really think much of those who rushed into the New World at the first opportunity.
But I don't think that way anymore.
It seems that the sooner one possesses this power, the more authority one will have.
Is that a rapier?
Wang Ye, however, was more focused on the fight itself. Chen Qing's victory or defeat was crucial to the entire situation; if Chen Qing lost, everything would be lost. Looking at Chen Qing's simple movement, Wang Ye Chen Qing filled with doubt, because he recognized the origin of this move.
Wang Ye was not a martial artist, but he had served in a court where martial artists were in power, so he had some knowledge of the game. Chen Qing's move was one of the thirteen simplest sword moves in the revised version of the Great Jin Dynasty's martial arts manual, based on the techniques of pointing, stabbing, chopping, sweeping, carrying, drawing, intercepting, wiping, flicking, striking, hanging, supporting, and blocking. This move was the Thrust Formula!
Facing a top-tier behind-the-scenes figure who was proficient in all the traditions, Chen Qing ultimately used such a simple move as the decisive blow?
But he quickly realized something, and a complex look appeared in his eyes.
Opposite Chen Qing, Long Lidan also felt a hint of doubt. However, in her eyesight spanning several eras, Chen Qing's sword strike was a simple straight thrust, with no possibility of variation. Was such an easily countered move really going to be used as a decisive move?
Or were some other spells prepared in secret?
Yes. It's possible. According to intelligence, Chen Qing was originally a sorcerer. His swordsmanship was only adopted by his subordinates because of the Divine Path Style. Although he decided the outcome of several duels in public with martial arts, he was still a sorcerer at heart!
Thinking of this, Long Lidan secretly activated her magic, preparing to counterattack at any moment.
But the moment this thought crossed her mind, before she could even begin to cast the spell, she was horrified to discover that Chen Qing's sword light was already upon her!
Having accumulated experience over several eras, he had almost reached the level of mastering all techniques with a single thought. The moment a thought arose, the technique would automatically form—this could be considered a basic operation. However, at this moment, he didn't have time to master such a basic operation.
Is Chen Qing really that fast?
How could someone below the Transcendent possibly move so quickly?
That's unreasonable.
No, this is Transcendent power!
How dare this guy?
Before he could react, the sword light was already at his throat!
"Between martial artists, victory or defeat depends not only on skill, but also on their courage and fighting spirit."
Chen Qing's gaze was cold, and a flash of cold light instantly sealed Long Lidan's throat. Before she could react, most of her neck was severed. Although she managed to create distance in an instant using her movement skills, the situation had already reversed in an instant!
Chen Qing gave his opponent no chance to catch his breath, relentlessly pursuing him with a barrage of attacks, each strike aimed at his throat.
He didn't say much. Looking at the other party's angry eyes, Chen Qing's eyes were full of mockery. From the beginning, he knew that his opponent's basic abilities were very strong, perhaps even stronger than the Xiao Household emperor, but he was not worried at all.
He had met this group of people before and even fought against them. He knew their character very well. No matter how much time they were given or how much they inherited, Chen Qing believed they would not change.
They're still the same group of sophisticated, selfish maggots. These maggots have no idea what a so-called strong person is.
This guy's crazy!!
Long Lidan clutched her throat with one hand, desperately using spells to stop the bleeding, while frantically retreating to fend off the opponent's attacks with the other. She was forced to the point of almost being unable to breathe, and it was impossible for her to use spells to create distance. A sense of crisis that she hadn't felt for many years surged into her heart once again.
To be honest, she was confident that she could face Chen Qing alone. She had watched countless videos of Chen Qing fighting others, and over the past few eras, she had also observed countless duels. She believed that no matter how skilled a fighter was, they would be full of flaws in front of her. Having mastered most of the inheritance of the third version, she had completely understood all techniques. She could instantly think of a way to counter any spell or move.
She didn't think she would lose, and she couldn't possibly lose.
I was careless!
Long Lidan was filled with remorse. She shouldn't have been distracted during the duel and underestimated Chen Qing. Unfortunately, her opponent was relentless and seemed determined to take advantage of her mistake to force her to her death!
Moreover, she didn't expect that her opponent would resort to desperate measures after just one unsuccessful move.
Using Transcendent power in this place, if he couldn't hold his breath any longer, there would be no turning back. Didn't he hesitate for a moment?
Frustrated, Long Lidan watched as the enemy's attacks continued relentlessly. She gritted her teeth, considering how to respond.
Under this offensive, although the opponent is a level higher than him, he can still barely dodge thanks to the movement techniques of the Palace of Vast Cold. Although he is bleeding profusely and his energy is severely depleted, he should be able to outlast the opponent, right?
what to do?
Shall we go all in?
If she were to unleash her Transcendent power like her opponent did, she was confident she could kill him within three moves.
However, the blood vessels in my throat are ruptured, and the wound has not been able to fully heal due to the fluctuation of blood and qi. Once I activate the Transcendent and strengthen the flow of blood and qi, the blood loss will be more serious. If I really can't defeat Chen Qing within a few moves, I will have no way out!
Shall we fight?
What a load of rubbish!
Who is he? And who is this bastard?
A bunch of losers who slipped through the net, they're not even human beings, just a bunch of copied data. Fighting with something like that is just plain crazy.
After only a moment's thought, Long Lidan activated the spell.
A chill ran through his body, and suddenly countless white threads sprouted from his pores, quickly enveloping him.
Chen Qing's sword strike felt like it had struck a piece of ancient iron, the force of which shattered the iron. Chen Qing's tiger's mouth also burst open from the forced opening of the seal, and he immediately dodged back three zhang away.
As the other party sneered, it was quickly enveloped by long white fur and transformed into a spherical object.
Chen Qing recognized it at a glance.
Heavenly Demon Chrysalis!
This group of people did indeed study the power of the golem.
Chen Qing took a breath. With the power he currently possessed, he had no way to deal with the opponent once this move was made, unless he used forbidden techniques. However, Data City was such a fragile plane that using forbidden techniques would not only have severe side effects on himself, but if it got out of control, it could even destroy the place completely, and then everyone would be really doomed.
This guy is absolutely certain he won't make a move!
Thinking of this, Chen Qing retreated to Wang Ye's location in the distance without hesitation.
Wang Ye was taken aback. "Finished?"
"We can't fight her anymore," Chen Qing shook his head. "Once the Heavenly Demon Chrysalis emerges, very few people will be able to do anything to her for at least ten years."
"So what do we do now?"
"We need to stop the use of electricity first." Chen Qing looked at Nie Xingjun: "They want you to allocate all the electricity to fully support the New World, right?"
Nie Xingjun nodded quickly. "Yes."
"How ironic." Chen Qing sneered, "Back then, they desperately tried to stop this version from coming, even at the cost of the lives of everyone in the building, including their own relatives. Now, they're risking their lives to usher in this era. What disgusting bastards."
Looking at the murderous intent in Chen Qing's eyes, Wang Ye felt a sense of unfamiliarity; it was the first time he had ever seen Chen Qing so hostile towards certain people.
"Why did they do that? What exactly happened back then?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
"Back then?" Chen Qing's expression was complicated. "Back then... it was a mistake."
