Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Wu Yong was attacked repeatedly, and finally realized what was attacking him, but the opponent was too fast for him to react.

Faced with this style of fighting where speed is the ultimate weapon, Wu Yong wasn't entirely without a way to deal with it. However, by the time he realized the problem, he had already flown too far, reaching an extremely high altitude. At this altitude, it would take him quite a while to return to the battlefield. Without having pre-set teleportation coordinates and not being in his Immortal Gu House, it would be quite difficult for ordinary teleportation techniques to traverse such a vast distance in a short time.

Fortunately, recognizing the problem allowed them to find a solution. While the Seventh Legion's sudden outburst caught them off guard, the legion's fatal flaw was ultimately its low attack power. Even with their immense speed, to maintain agility and avoid being burned up by atmospheric friction at such high speeds, their physical interaction with the outside world was actually quite slow. In other words, although they possessed extremely high speed, their kinetic energy attacks lacked the power of hypersonic projectiles. If their attacks had the power of hypersonic projectiles, they themselves wouldn't be able to withstand the recoil from firing.

This idealistic acceleration is more like slowing down the entire world, and in this world where everyone has slowed down, they engage in various physical interactions based on the flow of time in that world.

In other words, if they wanted to accelerate their own time, drinking a glass of milk, according to normal physics, even if they turned the glass upside down, the milk wouldn't have enough time to flow out; it would be like a solidified substance inside the glass, impossible to pour out. Even if the acceleration wasn't that dramatic, it would be like thick honey, flowing at an absurdly slow speed.

However, the reality is that the objects they come into contact with synchronize with their own time flow, which explains why their vehicles can function normally in such an environment. Once the objects they come into contact with synchronize with their own time flow, the milk in the cup can flow out like a normal liquid.

This means that their attacks, while seemingly very fast, are actually synchronized with the external environment at the moment of physical interaction. The relative speed becomes acceptable. Even if the external environment perceives the attack as fast, the actual impact force is far less than the theoretically calculated power.

Otherwise, the Seventh Legion could simply grab a few javelins. Their movements, so fast even immortals couldn't catch them, would be enough to inflict massive damage with a single javelin throw.

Unfortunately, they don't have that ability. Currently, they can only achieve an extremely high speed through conventional physical acceleration and then launch missile-like weapons for kinetic energy attacks. Even so, it's barely enough to scratch someone at the eighth level. Fortunately, conventional kinetic energy attacks are sufficient to blast enemies to extremely high speeds. If that's not possible, they can pause briefly upon contact. During this brief pause, the flow of time between the two will be synchronized for a very short time, allowing them to travel a considerable distance.

Skilled warriors can control the timing of synchronization, ensuring that the opponent cannot react or detect them during the brief period of synchronization. In this way, they forcefully push the enemy's strongest warriors out of the battlefield. At such a great distance, even releasing the Great Harmony Wind would not disturb the ground.

Upon realizing what was happening, Wu Yong responded with the simplest and most brutal method: a storm began to swirl around him, and countless meat-grinding moon blades formed tornadoes around him, enveloping him entirely. Theoretically, these blades could slice anything that came near him into pieces.

He had just unleashed his killing move when he felt a powerful force slam into him, sending him flying once more into the sky.

To the soldiers of the Seventh Legion, the tornado, which resembled a meat grinder, appeared as nothing more than stillness. The gaps between the blades, though small—making it impossible for a fighter jet to pass through—were more than enough for their main bodies to squeeze through. They could easily slip through, unleash a rising dragon punch, and then fly back to their own ships.

Wu Yong, who was knocked away again, knew that this level of protection would probably not be enough to stop his opponent, so he increased the density of the blades once more, ten times the previous amount. The gaps between the blades were so large that even a finger could not fit through them. No matter how fast the soldiers of the Seventh Legion were, they were not a specialized legion that could transform themselves into a fluid-like existence, or change size, or even become information.

They don't have these special abilities. Perhaps if they continue to develop their super-speed capabilities, they can enter the quantum realm and achieve quantum tunneling, thus achieving a certain degree of wall-penetrating effect, but at least they can't do that now.

Wu Yong thought that such precautions were foolproof. He did not use any shield-type defenses because shield-type defenses are essentially integrated with the body. In short, the shield is not a sphere independent of the body. If it were an independent sphere, the shield would be knocked away by an enemy's punch, and the knocked-away shield would directly hit the user's face.

In general, most shield-type attacks are anchored to the user, with the user as the center. When subjected to kinetic energy, they act like shock absorbers, transmitting the impact to the user, albeit with some buffering to ensure that the shield is not blown away and hits the user in the face, which would be a comical situation.

Using a shield to defend against such a harmless attack wouldn't be very effective; the attacker would still be knocked away. Anchored shields in mid-air would work, but once anchored, they can't move, contradicting the goal of quickly returning to the battlefield. Moving an anchored shield in space is also possible, but the speed would be incredibly slow, even though theoretically it could be very fast. If spatial curvature were used for propulsion, it might even surpass the speed of light. The theoretical upper limit is higher than conventional acceleration.

Unfortunately, he had not studied the relevant technical field before. Although there were a few papers on high-speed movement of shields anchored in space, this knowledge was buried in a remote corner of the vast world of information. How could he have been so lucky to see and master the relevant knowledge?

He was blasted away, such a distance. If the shield anchored in mid-air were used to carry him downwards, by the time he returned to the battlefield, it would be too late.

In contrast, a blade that rotates around itself, has no anchoring relationship to itself, and is simply composed of high-speed airflow is perfectly suited for this moment. The wind is fast enough, theoretically even faster than its maximum flight speed, to keep up with its speed and constantly surround it. It also serves to create an insulating layer.

Just as it increased the density of its blades, believing this time it was foolproof and no one could break through, another tremendous force blasted him into the air, multiple times in succession, almost sending him to the zenith of daylight. Wu Yong couldn't understand how the enemy had infiltrated. Logically speaking, these mortals shouldn't have an easy way to penetrate gaps. Surely, someone could conveniently transform themselves into a fluid and possess such supersonic speed.

It's possible to encounter such an unlucky situation. After all, this kind of killing move that penetrates narrow gaps isn't particularly sophisticated. Even someone with weaker strength at the third rank could learn it. For example, some killing moves in the Waterway can transform oneself into a stream of water, which is theoretically suitable for squeezing through gaps.

Even if he managed to get through, it would be theoretically difficult to get close. To be on the safe side, Wu Yong put several layers of relatively weak shields on his body. These shields were not very strong, but they were anchored to himself and would transmit some of the force. However, once the transmitted force reached a certain level, they would break on their own.

Logically speaking, even if someone were to turn into water, you should be caught between the blade and this shield. If you were to switch back to physical form, you would be instantly shredded. To maintain the form of the karmic entity and break through this shield, you would need at least the strength of an immortal.

The probability of having an opponent who happens to be a water-manipulation immortal with such high speed is already extremely low. Wu Yong thought to himself, "Could I be that unlucky?"
Suspicion arose in his mind, so while being attacked, he began to carefully observe his surroundings. The opponent must have infiltrated in some way, bypassing his shield and protection, because at this moment he had completely fused the blade and shield together, creating a shield with a similar effect of counter-damage. In this way, although he would still suffer the reaction force, the enemy who attacked him would also suffer near-fatal damage.

In fact, this kind of defense can still be broken under extremely high speed; it can still be sent flying like a ball. However, one must first ensure that their shield is sealed and that no enemy hides within three feet of them.

As expected, once the shield was completely sealed, he was propelled by the immense force transmitted through it, and flew rapidly into the sky.

The soldiers of the Seventh Legion had enough time to discuss how to break the shield's effect, and their chosen method was simple: since the shield's effect was to directly attack the person hit by it, why not use ranged attacks? Throwing a stone could conduct force, and launching a few missiles wouldn't be difficult either; at most, they would be hitting the shadows, and the efficiency wouldn't be as high as before.

Wu Yong took this opportunity to scan every inch around him with his divine sense. At first, he did not find any problems, but soon a compass flashed past in his perception.

Although he only caught a glimpse of it, his senses had already penetrated and detected the compass's function. It was a teleportation marker, and the instant he sensed it, someone teleported over and dropped the compass into his blind spot.

Just like human vision has a blind spot, even when something is directly in sight, there will always be a point that is not noticed. Perception has a similar effect; there will always be a tiny blind spot, more or less. Even if this blind spot changes position very frequently, if the speed is fast enough, it is indeed possible to hide a compass in a person's blind spot. Unless one carefully observes their surroundings, it is difficult to detect.

Just now, someone had used this compass to infiltrate his vicinity, teleporting directly through the shield's protection, punching him, and sending him flying. Realizing this, he felt relieved. The fact that the other party was so careful to protect the compass from his detection meant that without the teleportation coordinates, none of them could have teleported in.

A cyan storm swept through, clearing away the entire area around him. Even if there were blind spots in his vision, as long as the attack completely covered the area within the shield, the teleportation coordinates could not be preserved there.

Just as he had anticipated, his fierce attack left him surrounded by shattered debris, and he had already switched his shield back to normal. The dense blades surrounding him no longer transmitted additional force, which temporarily countered the Seventh Legion's killing move. They currently lacked teleportation abilities and the skill to transform themselves into a liquid state. If other legions were to cooperate, there were ways to send them in, and quite a few. For example, the Third Legion's Absolute Hit would be very suitable.

The problem is that while they can get in, they can't get out in time. Sending them in is practically suicide. As for other things, there really aren't any good ways to get close. Ranged attacks will hit the flying blades directly, being sliced ​​into pieces, and the impact will be neutralized by the blades, turning into scattered air currents, unable to stop Wu Yong from advancing.

Using the blades flying around him, Wu Yong transformed into a ball of blue light and plummeted rapidly from the sky.

The soldiers of the Seventh Legion knew they couldn't stop him, and once he returned to the battlefield, it would be difficult to knock him away again. After he flew over, he could easily activate the shield anchored in place, and to knock him away again, they would have to break the shield first, which was clearly something the Seventh Legion couldn't do.

With this in mind, all the soldiers of the Seventh Legion who had mastered the super-speed mode decisively returned to the battlefield before their opponents did. The transmission of intelligence takes time, and at this moment, the other opponents had not yet figured out how to restrain them. Since a crisis was about to arrive, they naturally had to find a way to create conditions to deal with the crisis before it arrived.
