Chapter 1003: Sky Cloud Sword
At the sa ti the battle between Ohgami Benimaru and Zhang Yi began.
The Neon Pirates synchronized the information feed to General Huo En at the Columbus Ocean Navy command center.
He imdiately took over communication and command.
"Amaterasu! Don't be overly afraid of Chaos. His abilities focus primarily on defense; his offensive capabilities aren't particularly formidable."
"Watch for his sudden positional shifts erging from the void to launch attacks. Then stall for ti and wait for reinforcents! Susanoo and dusa will arrive shortly!"
They had personally witnessed how Baldier was worn down to death by Zhang Yi.
Rather than saying Baldier was killed by Zhang Yi, it would be more accurate to say he was so desperate to kill Zhang Yi that he injected the X Compound, leading to him being dragged to his death by Zhang Yi.
In that battle, Zhang Yi demonstrated the origin of his 【Absolute Defense】 epithet—he truly was an expert at wars of attrition.
However, his offensive capabilities weren't particularly impressive.
The impression given was that his defensive power might already be at the Epsilon level.
But, as the price obtained for this, he had relatively weaker offensive abilities.
According to evaluations from the command center's data analysis unit, Zhang Yi's offensive capability was roughly around 9,600 points.
He was just skilled at relying on his powerful defense to gradually wear his opponents down to death.
However, this ti, Ohgami Benimaru hadn't appeared on this battlefield alone.
He wasn't afraid of stalling for ti.
Ohgami Benimaru's heart instantly gained confidence.
He even wanted to test just how capable this famously formidable 【Chaos】 before him really was.
"Chaos, you have been stirring up trouble and inciting countless conflicts on Star Island. I, Amaterasu, have long wanted to see what you're made of!"
A cold smirk played on Zhang Yi's lips as the Sacred Silver bullets in his hand never ceased, pouring relentlessly towards Ohgami Benimaru as if venting fury.
The scene before him didn't surprise him.
This was the inevitable situation he would face after the intelligence leak.
"Whoosh!"
Before the bullet hell period ended, Zhang Yi vanished from mid-air, reappearing the next mont to Ohgami Benimaru's right.
Holy Judgnt in his right hand slashed fiercely towards his head!
Ohgami Benimaru knew Zhang Yi would use this move, so he was prepared at all tis.
In Neon's samurai training, there were thods for refining the mind.
As a successor of the Shinryu Mushin-ryu, he would seclude himself in his dojo room daily, ditating for two hours to temper his will and sharpen his focus. Ṙ𝐚₦ÖᛒЁＳ
The mont Zhang Yi's blade tip erged from the void, he had already detected it.
"Swish!"
Kokonoe Nagamune transford into a silver streak; his eyes didn't even have ti to turn, but the sword in his hand was already eting Zhang Yi's Holy Judgnt!
"Clang!"
An intense collision occurred between the two treasured blades, deafeningly loud.
Zhang Yi was actually forced back; he used spatial traversal to retreat several thousand ters away.
Looking at his slightly numb right hand, a wry smile touched Zhang Yi's lips.
"Indeed, no matter how much I train, at least on the physical level, I'm still far behind these close-combat specialists."
He was now certain that his abilities were mostly understood by his opponent.
After successfully repelling Zhang Yi with this strike, excitent made blood vessels appear in Ohgami Benimaru's eyes.
He... he had actually repelled Chaos!
"Hahaha! Just as I thought! Once your abilities are figured out, you're not that strong after all!"
Zhang Yi glanced at him calmly and rely said lightly:
"You're not wrong. Once you understand my abilities, my advantage over you isn't that great."
"But that doesn't necessarily an you're stronger than , does it?"
Zhang Yi's gaze turned profound. In his left eye, a strand of dark light began to flicker, while in his right eye, a hazy white light started to twist.
He shifted his blade, and ten Dinsional Gates had already surrounded Ohgami Benimaru completely.
On Holy Judgnt, the power of the void began to surge and condense.
The power of the void was imnsely powerful, but also extrely unstable.
If used improperly, it could even backfire on the user.
Therefore, Zhang Yi was always extra cautious when using it.
For instance, the move 【Condensing the Void】, he had only ever dared to use as a long-range attack.
He never dared to employ it at close range against enemies.
But now, the situation had undergone so subtle changes.
His mastery over the power of the void had beco increasingly proficient, and with the developnt of his twelve-layer Dinsional Gate skill, his combat style had also beco more varied.
When Ohgami Benimaru saw the Holy Judgnt in Zhang Yi's hand, he also sensed that heart-palpitating power.
He thought to himself: "Such terrifying power. But his close-quarters combat strength isn't formidable. I just need to focus and dodge his attacks."
The Void Blade condensed the power of the void, transforming into a patch of dark starry sky that manifested behind the blade of Holy Judgnt.
Zhang Yi's gaze was frighteningly cold as he raised his hand and unleashed over a dozen slashes in succession!
The terrifying Void Slashes had just appeared when they vanished from mid-air.
Yet, at the sa ti, they reappeared from every direction around Ohgami Benimaru!
【Heavenly Net and Earthly Snare】!
The twelve Dinsional Gates were interconnected. So, when Zhang Yi's attacks entered the Dinsional Space through one gate, they could erge arbitrarily from any of the other eleven gates.
There was no pattern, making them naturally impossible to predict.
Even though Ohgami Benimaru was ntally prepared, the application of abilities on the battlefield was inherently ever-changing.
It was like ancient martial arts masters sparring; even if they knew each other's school techniques inside out, it was still difficult to guarantee predicting the opponent's moves.
Over a dozen Void Slashes enveloped Ohgami Benimaru like a net.
Ohgami Benimaru's pupils contracted sharply; he felt the imnse power contained within this move.
Now completely trapped with no retreat, his only option was to choose one direction and force a breakthrough!
Ohgami Benimaru gripped the long sword in his hand tightly.
"Thump! Thump!"
A palpitation, like a heartbeat, emanated from his palm, and also from the blade of Kokonoe Nagamune.
"A no Murakumo no Tsurugi!"
A crimson light suddenly enveloped the blade of Kokonoe Nagamune, and the sword's form took on an ancient, archaic appearance.
Ohgami Benimaru drew his sword, unleashing the most fierce and sharp slashes towards the several Void Slashes attacking from the front!
A dazzling crimson radiance, like a phantom manifesting in the world, collided with the Void Slashes!
BOOM!!!
A trendous energy impact directly erupted into a shocking shockwave. The blinding light made it impossible to see the battle situation at the center, but one could only see the surrounding toxic miasma rapidly being blown back.
A mont later, Ohgami Benimaru stood firm on a patch of ground.
His body swayed slightly, sowhat unsteady, and a trickle of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
But by risking everything in a desperate struggle, he had ultimately survived.
