Chapter 860: Chapter 105 Underwater Battle
Although he uttered words like “I’m going to kill you,” Xiang Shan knew in his heart that if he could completely escape from this battle, it would be a “complete victory.”
Anything else would be considered a “defeat.”
Once the shell’s seal is broken, most of this prosthetic body is rendered useless. Added to the loss of buoyancy devices, he’ll surely sink to the seabed. Even if his brain could withstand another two hundred years, even if the reactor could operate for over a century, it would be aningless to him.
Being captured by the Six Dragons Sect and sent to the laboratory would be even more tragic.
The so-called “co to kill you” is rely a tactic to exert psychological pressure on his opponents.
But clearly, the psychological pressure from the opposite side on Xiang Shan was greater.
A total of nine supercavitating torpedoes, divided into three waves, pursued the vehicles of Xiang Shan’s three companions from a great distance.
Xiang Shan was well aware that his vehicle was originally a land vehicle modified for underwater use, with only basic defense systems. He even quickly assessed in his mind that the underwater defensive ammunition mounted on those vehicles could only handle one or two supercavitating torpedoes at most. Yuan Wenren might be able to snipe one with his Firearms Path skills, but Liu Ri and Yuki could only leave it to fate…
This montary flaw was instantly seized by the opponents.
Three tail-finned individuals charged directly at him.
Xiang Shan quickly regained his focus, and his serrated longsword was already poised to et them.
The original three Sea Patrolling Yakshas of the Six Dragons Sect displayed a joint grappling technique, aiming to restrain this contemporary Martial God’s movents, so that subsequent people could apply restriction thods.
Seawater absorbs kinetic energy, causing both blades and bullets to slow down, making fists appear weaker, and the essence of moves difficult to execute.
Cybernetically enhanced people are already clad in heavy armor.
In such an environnt, “breaking defenses” becos a huge challenge.
However, to defeat soone, is it necessary to break through their defenses?
It’s only necessary to render that person unable to resist.
Grappling techniques that don’t rely on punching kinetic energy have an advantage in this environnt.
Though Twelve Martial Gods embody the Martial God himself, they lack the zodiac airfra’s output. His prosthetic body is ordinary, certainly not like the zodiac airfra that can tear submarines apart with sheer jet thrust.
The sa goes for hand-to-hand combat strength.
Once his limbs were entangled by these people, even Xiang Shan couldn’t easily shake them off. These people’s martial arts skills specialize in underwater combat. They’re adept at transferring the kinetic energy imposed by enemies onto seawater.
Would Xiang Shan easily let them lock him down?
Certainly not!
The waist turns the back, the back turns the arms. Xiang Shan’s serrated longsword sliced through the seawater, carving a rounded trajectory in the ocean. Fierce waves, much like “sword energy” in fantasy works, extended from the blade’s edge, distorting the movents of those three individuals.
Then, the three Six Dragons Sect martial artists were pushed away.
Simultaneously, two dark shadows flew backward, quickly slowing down, allowing their shapes to be seen clearly.
It was a tail fin from one martial artist and a dorsal fin from the lower back of another. The items were made from flexible materials woven with alloy threads, also containing so tal frawork.
The essence of a saw, using multiple high-pressure contact points arranged in a single row, tears objects from the micro-scale. Weapons of ancient humans, or the obsidian chopping blade “Macuahuitl” used by Aztecs without tallurgy knowledge, are essentially closer to “saws.”
It doesn’t require high striking speed and can cause more damage using a drag-cut technique.
The sword-like weapon in Xiang Shan’s hand is made of high-strength, high-toughness alloy, plated with the hardest carbon crystal, naturally far superior to stone-age blades.
He even found the weak point of the opponent’s prosthetic body amidst those fleeting monts and used the drag-cut technique to slice off a piece. Yet his movent was so smooth, this minimal sword-body adjustnt of “drag-cut” almost seamlessly rged with the “swash” of the longsword’s rolling circle, indistinguishable.
Kanhara Shinhara intently watched Xiang Shan’s fingers. Probably only she, along with the distant observer Holy Lord, saw what just happened.
Xiang Shan rely released three fingers, gripping the hilt with only his index finger and pushing the blade with his thumb, aided by the turbine’s power…
That’s all.
——He even realized that “the fierce wave brought by seawater can be utilized”…
The blade itself can’t cut through the cybernetically enhanced people’s external armor, and neither can the fierce wave. But stronger, faster waves in water can be an extension of attack to unbalance the opponent, controlling the attack’s distance.
In an instant, the flash of the blade reappeared, nearly slicing through the lower half of one.
The three martial artists hurriedly retreated.
A martial artist using a heavy prosthesis for land combat managed to repel three with sea combat prostheses in the ocean!
Xiang Shan did not pursue them. In fact, he couldn’t chase them at all. He was standing on the buoyancy apparatus. Once leaving it, he had no leverage. The prosthetic body didn’t adapt much to the ocean compared to them. He needed so ti to get used to the fierce undercurrents and regain balance.
The Six Dragons Sect certainly didn’t give him a chance to adapt. The second group of martial artists imdiately alternated forward.
These guys were like ferocious carnivorous fish, swarming to launch relentless attacks at Xiang Shan.
Xiang Shan unleashed hand and foot strikes, utilizing the strength advantage brought by the heavy prosthesis to launch strikes. The powerful kinetic water flow pushed the Six Dragons Sect Sea Patrolling Yakshas away. They were forced back by the attacks, their teamwork disrupted, leaving only one to advance early into Xiang Shan’s attack range.
This Six Dragons Sect martial artist had brought his martial arts style to 120%, his entire body forming an S shape, like swimming fish or sea snakes attempting to restrain Xiang Shan’s movents. But Xiang Shan’s straight punch landed on his forehead. The hand hitting the forehead instantly pressed down, and the opened magnetic shears clamped onto the opponent’s upper arm.
Amidst the roar that couldn’t be completely absorbed by seawater, an arm detached from the martial artist’s body.
However, Xiang Shan flipped around, kicking the guy off, and using the force to flip beneath the buoyancy apparatus.
Yang ngying had silently subrged here, even holding a micro deepwater bomb in her hand.
The two engaged in hand-to-hand combat several tis.
More than two hundred years ago, Yang ngying’s boxing technique was also guided by Xiang Shan. It was her foundation. She was familiar with Xiang Shan’s thinking, and Xiang Shan also knew the strategy condensed in her moves.
In just a few moves, Xiang Shan “saw” the opponent’s personality profile.
“What exactly have you experienced?”
Xiang Shan asked.
