Chapter 1094: Chapter 1094: Qianqian’s Fighting Style
“Buzz——” The ten-ter-tall Lightning Scepter smashed down from the sky, accompanied by a deep humming, interspersed with crackling sparks. This sudden attack caught everyone off guard, but at least two-thirds of those present were seasoned warriors skilled in battle. As the giant’s attack ca, I had already steadied the little doll on my shoulder and pulled Sayaka aside, easily dodging it. Others also shielded their weaker mbers and moved out of the attack range, and Yelsen, as the professional MT, instantly summoned his golden greatsword and Emblem Shield, holding the shield above his head and enduring the giant’s straightforward strike head-on.
“Clang!” An ear-splitting tallic explosion mixed with the loud thunder of the collision between their weapons erupted, with Yelsen at the center. A hundred-ter radius of thunderous shockwave burst out, instantly vaporizing all sand and half a ter of the ground within its range. The giant’s control over power was quite sophisticated; apart from the harmless shockwave to confuse the enemy, ninety-nine percent of the energy from each attack was precisely focused on the target—hence Yelsen, smoking all over, was sent flying back, horizontally.
“Brother!” Monina rushed to catch this hot-headed fool, “You’re… you’re almost cooked!”
“My sister, please don’t make jokes when your brother is half-dead,” Yelsen stood up, gritting his teeth. In the recent clash, his strong defense had no suspense in falling behind and even being smashed so far, causing the golden-haired dead handso man to lose face. But he had to admit they were in trouble this ti. “It seems I can’t handle him alone— the damage from that scepter seems impossible to mitigate in any way.”
“Any attack inevitably causes expected damage, no wonder your iron shell was useless.” Monina drew her dark dual blades, readying herself into a defensive stance. Dingdang, having woken from her jet lag, was already healing Yelsen’s injuries. The little thing was ticulous once in combat. anwhile, at a hundred ters away, the Giant, holding the scepter, took no subsequent action, his tallic silver face showing no expression, just looking this way unfazed.
Sandora frowned, looking at the Giant, her voice cold as a chilling wind: “Do you intend regicide?”
“Such is the mission,” the Giant answered faintly, “Concepts have been severed; based on the last tens of thousands of years of monitoring, the survivor should be on the other side. Therefore, the information inside this box has been isolated, whether you’re my forr master or not, everything here cannot recognize your identity. Even if you are Star Domain Divine Race, there is no shared recognition thod between us. The only way through is defeating the Guard Captain. Prepare for battle, the challenge is solely limited to one. Of course, you can choose to leave. Since the outer sentries recognize the identity of the Dragon Ancestor Spirit, you at least have so relation to the Star Domain Divine Race. But don’t attempt to force through, or all the guards will awaken.”
After saying these words, the Giant fell silent, standing tall before the massive archway, the Lightning Scepter buzzing in his hand, seemingly giving us ti to decide. The opponent’s words seed to suggest so key clues, but no matter how you interpret it, he didn’t appear to intend to continue explaining further. Sister thought of using other thods to prove our entry permissions—including pushing the Angel Kite, who was stupidly hovering beside Little Baobao, in front, but the Giant was unmoved by any recognition thod outside of established procedures.
So despite all doubts, it seed that fighting was the only way forward. However, before fighting, there were so things to confirm.
“Defeating you counts as passing the recognition program?” Sandora frowned, having understood the aning of this procedure, “Such a careless verification thod? What if it’s defeated by so other race? Even I don’t believe the Xyrin Apostle has reached the point where no race can defeat us at all.”
“It doesn’t matter, such is the mission,” the Giant patiently waited and didn’t mind answering our questions, “The initial setting never hoped for the return of the forr master. If sufficiently powerful strangers co, they could at least record the Empire’s history. Everything is set, only the owner can use it; outsiders, even if they pass through the gate, can only acquire historical records.”
“Just a tombstone hoping for descendants to mourn,” Big Sister looked at that silver tallic giant, “and a Tomb Guardian… fine, we will defeat you, but I still want to know, how exactly can we break… you know, this severance effect? Making it possible for us to confirm each other’s identity? This matter nags at the mind.”
The giant looked down at Big Sister: “It seems you really intend to prove yourself as the forr master, but commands tell not to trust words. I can only look forward to what you have to say. As for how to break the separation effect… If you can find the highest master who gave the orders that day, you will naturally know what to do. It’s ti to make a decision now, who will challenge the guard, or take the chance to leave here.”
“I’ll fight you!” Just as I was about to step forward, Qianqian suddenly jumped out from behind, with keen interest on her face, bouncing repeatedly trying to attract the giant’s attention, “If I defeat you, I can go inside, right? Then let’s fight first! Anyway, Ah Jun will find a way to restore everyone’s mory—right, Ah Jun?”
After Qianqian finished speaking rapidly like popping beans, she then rembered to turn her head and glance at , smiling happily, as if I had already solved all the problems: this girl really, no matter what ti it is, has 200% unconditional trust in .
“Understood,” the giant didn’t care whether Qianqian had anything else to say. When the challenger stood out, his program had already started, and he raised the Lightning Scepter in his hand high, stabbing it forcefully into the ground, “Activate the trial field.”
The surrounding ground and sky disappeared, replaced by an endless chaotic white fog, just as we imagined. Before the battle, the giant opened a special space, like the defense system encountered in the Phantom Tower that day, when the battle intensity reaches a certain level, the surface environnt is not suitable.
When the special space opened, three “people” were excluded, including Tracey, Char, and Lin. It’s understandable that those two dragons weren’t part of the test targets, but why Lin was excluded is unknown, maybe because she was recognized by the giant as an ancestor’s spirit, so the guard also counted her as a mber of the Dragon Clan?
“Qianqian,” I confird with the rather jumpy girl through the spiritual connection, “are you really okay? This big guy looks like a top-level force even in the Old Empire, just now 123 was sent flying.”
“At this mont, you should wait for my triumph, rather than worry unnecessarily.” Qianqian said coolly—my girl is in battle mode too.
“Huh!” The giant, after the surrounding space completely stabilized, launched an attack rcilessly, starting with the sa fancy-free frontal assault: he raised the scepter in his hand, wielding a dazzling lightning bolt, and fiercely smashed it towards the girl standing in midair before him, fragile and small like a golden canary by comparison!
What the giant used was definitely not the lightning one can see in nature, nor was it re arcane power, just now 123 had endured it once, and it is certain that thing is infinitely more dangerous than the aforentioned two combined, it might be mixed with so sort of Law Power, causing any unit that cos into contact with the lightning to suffer complete damage, of course, Qianqian also knew this, so at the mont the lightning fell, she had already appeared behind the giant, then extended her hand to point at the opponent from afar: “Ti Sand drifts away with the wind!”
The tal giant’s body imdiately paused, and the glow all over dimd, but this weakened state only lasted for a mont, then he recovered again, turned to look at Qianqian, with a serious expression on his face: “Not instant movent, but you shifted your position in a dinsion I can’t see.” The giant said casually, but didn’t panic at all due to the inability to identify the enemy’s power, he raised the scepter again, aiming towards Qianqian’s direction, “Lock target, Information Conversion Spear.”
“Buzz—” A gray-white beam abruptly burst from the tip of the Lightning Scepter, piercing through the thin mist that perated the battlefield, Qianqian slightly frowned, and her figure disappeared in midair in the blink of an eye, with the giant’s attack losing its target and vanishing into the distance.
This is what we saw from the ordinary perspective, but Qianqian was continuously sharing the intelligence she perceived in the spiritual connection, after a second delay, we “saw” a replay of the confrontation just now: when the ray sent out by the giant traveled halfway, Qianqian tentatively swayed sideways, and the gray-white beam imdiately adjusted its direction slightly accordingly, clearly showing that this attack had the precise guidance characteristic even at subluminal speed. Upon seeing this, Qianqian imdiately changed her tactics. She first utilized the second difference to disengage from the locked state while stalling the ti around her, then approached the beam for close observation, and then tried to reflect the beam with a mirror—only for the mirror to vanish the mont it touched the beam. She then pulled out a Star Gold Stone Slab (don’t ask why she took this thing out) to block in front of the beam, the powerful divine tal seed to block the beam montarily, but ultimately got pierced through. Subsequently, Qianqian fetched at least twenty different gadgets from her personal space to probe the limits of the giant’s attack, including Noke Stone, Neutron Star Material, her stockings, a hairpin, a consecrated cross, fried stinky tofu, and a piece of sliced cake. All attempts were declared unsuccessful, which made Qianqian run angrily next to the giant in a stasis state, kicking him fiercely—painful enough to make her grimace, the giant’s defense was at least battlecruiser level. With no other options, Qianqian reengaged her second difference state, released the ti control—and what we saw next was the scene where the giant’s attack missed. With a “biu” sound, the giant’s attack fell short, and Qianqian stood with an icy expression a hundred ters away. The above facts prove that even after entering the blackened state upon activating her ability, Qianqian’s bizarre way of thinking has never changed—the only change is her temper.
These events all happened in an extrely brief instant. From the mont the giant launched its attack, to the ti Qianqian leisurely probed the nature of this attack, to her using ti displacent to evade the tracking of the “Information Conversion Spear,” all occurred within a “ti fra” that only Qianqian herself could calculate. We only understood what had just happened by relying on a shared spiritual connection with that girl. anwhile, the giant furrowed its brows in confusion, clearly unable to comprehend why its ultimate skill, capable of erasing any known matter, including Star Gold Stone, and relentlessly tracking a target under any circumstances, had lost its effect.
It must be said, regardless of who you are, fighting that girl recklessly without understanding Qianqian’s powers would be bizarre and frustrating.
Because you’ll never find any opportunity to gain the upper hand, nor will you easily know what actions Qianqian actually took.
As ntioned before, Qianqian’s power grants her the talent to grasp all “monts.” In a battle with her, as long as your actions are based on ti, no matter how fast you move, that exceptionally brief “instant” will be captured by her, then expanded to a level where she can leisurely formulate and experint with over twenty action plans. Therefore, trying to combat Qianqian with advantages like speed or “initiative” is absolutely the dumbest thing in the world. The girl herself is the embodint of all “initiatives.” The only way to fight her is through absolute strength, and you must remain calm: especially when faced with a slew of incomprehensible natural phenona.
Currently, besides Void Power, only two types of attacks can hit Qianqian. One is extrely high concentration and intensity of Ghost Energy, which works on all ti-space dinsions. To confine Ghost Energy, simply freezing ti is not enough. You need to freeze all informational flow within a certain range, creating a “Peace Field” where no derivative phenona are generated. Even for the increasingly powerful Qianqian, this high-level operation requires significant consumption. The other is Senior Divine Skill, which also acts on all worldly information. The effort needed to confront Divine Skills is no less than that required to imprison Ghost Energy. These two powers, once reaching a certain level, can naturally break through ti confinent.
Nevertheless, the giant’s abilities do not seem adept at concentrating Ghost Energy or Divine Skills of sufficient intensity on a target as small as Qianqian.
Attacking Qianqian is not easy; defending against her attacks is even more challenging, and the reason remains that “mont.” The concept of an instant differs entirely for ordinary people and Qianqian. For Qianqian, all her effective attacks can compress into an instant. No matter how complex or delayed a move is, she can compress it into an undetectable short ti fra. Anyone facing Qianqian’s attacks won’t have enough ti to react. In fact, those words “reaction ti” are deleted when you face Qianqian. You can’t block, can’t dodge, because you don’t have that ti. The only way to respond is to withstand it head-on. Fortunately, in general, Qianqian’s attack power isn’t strong, and her temporal expansion and compression have limits. Otherwise, that girl would be truly invincible.
Just like now, the problem the giant encounters is that all its attacks require ti to launch, hence never hitting the target. anwhile, Qianqian’s specialties like decay and elapse effects have no effect on this tal Giant whose designed lifespan might exceed tens of millions of years. She also attempted a Ti Tear to operate each part of the giant’s body according to different ti scales but saw little effect. The opponent’s Energy Intensity is too high, its entire body suffused with Ghost Energy and Arcane Power, creating an environnt full of vast information. In such an environnt, each additional tiline created increases Qianqian’s consumption several or even dozens of tis, rendering ti fragntation ineffective.
“Whew, whew… Damn steel and bones,” Qianqian, slightly breathless from a few exchanges that seed bizarre and incomprehensible to others, stopped and looked at the giant from several hundred ters away. “How long is your design lifespan actually?”
“Infinite,” the tal Giant replied calmly. “I am rely a part of this system; the entire system constantly evolves and repairs itself. Within computable informational domains, no lifespan exhaustion scenario can be foreseen.”
Qianqian tilted her body imdiately, breaking most of the cold image maintained by her personality switch: “You… Who designed this thing?!”
“Perhaps my master, if I could rember his na, I would proudly tell you,” the giant raised its scepter again. “You are indeed difficult to defeat. I guess your power may have sothing to do with ti. Don’t be surprised; I’m quite familiar with phenona caused by temporal chaos. I admit this power is extrely challenging to deal with in the current dinsion, but the battle must continue. Next, I will use the power left by my master, which might cause you considerable trouble, as it is not much restricted by ti…”
“Whatever, you’re about to annoy ,” Qianqian coldly replied before refocusing her energies.
The giant swung the scepter down forcefully, and a thunderous roar echoed across the space: “Cataclysm!”
“Instant Thousand Kills!” Qianqian’s voice almost simultaneous, followed, then ti went awry again.
This ti, the ti distortion no longer affected the entire battle space, because soon I realized the ti flow I observed remained normal, with the only frozen entity being the tal Giant itself.
Qianqian, with a darkened face, carrying a Ship-Slicing Blade flew over, mumbling resentfully, “I’ll show you arrogance, show you arrogance, let’s see what you’ll do this ti!”
“Bang!” A loud crash resounded as the Ship-Slicing Blade heavily struck the still-immobile giant’s leg, followed by a second, a third…”Bang! Bang! Bang!” The incessantly intensifying tal crashing noise beca increasingly rapid, amidst which Qianqian counted aloud, “One, two, three, four…”
“Uh, girl, what are you doing?” I finally couldn’t help asking, my eyelid twitching as I looked at Qianqian.
“The Instant Thousand Kills is a super ultimate skill,” Qianqian coolly flicked her hair. “Within the shortest unit of ti, subjecting the enemy to more than a thousand attacks. Now the instant for this big guy has already begun, and I must pierce a hole in him… Uh, where was I counting just now? Anyway, start over: one, two, three, four…”
: “…”
“So that’s how your Instant Thousand Kills works?!” Bingdisi exclaid in astonishnt at Qianqian.
“Yeah,” Qianqian continued hacking enthusiastically, “although usually, I would freeze the entire battlefield’s ti or place myself in a state of infinite speed, so you couldn’t see the details of this move before. But the Energy consumption is a bit big this ti, so I can only use a simplified version. Not that there’s much difference. Anyway, this big guy can’t notice it himself—oh, I forgot what number I was at again. Start over!”
: “…” Silly girl, have you forgotten that your ability to freeze others’ ti is limited?! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welco to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian), your support is my greatest motivation.)
