Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 97 The War of Light

The Palace of War has a dedicated "arena," which is why it needs to be designed separately.

That's because virtual spaces generally provide a unified physical body.

However, this would be very inconvenient for two martial artists who actually want to spar.

Some martial artists specialize in physical training, but they can't bring their well-honed bodies into the martial arts world. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

That's why this area was designated, almost perfectly replicating the real-world situation.

Bai Yang and the two arrived at the arena, but instead of choosing this mode, they wanted to see how well they understood the laws.

They chose to have the same body, but raised their cultivation to the same level: the peak of the advanced war god.

The two stepped onto the ring, with Thor choosing to watch from the sidelines.

This black metal arena, about ten kilometers long and ten kilometers wide, is more than enough for two people to perform to their heart's content.

Bai Yang chose the standard longsword, while Hong picked a long spear to use for his technique, "World Destruction".

"World Destroyer," hailed as the world's number one attack method, has consistently been rated above Thor's "Ninefold Thunder Blade."

Bai Yang had never actually seen this spear technique before, he had only read a little bit of "Ninefold Thunder Blade".

I'd heard the name of this marksmanship countless times before.

But he was actually more interested in Hung's mastery of internal martial arts.

The purpose of their competition was not to determine a winner, but to gain a better understanding of the laws governing the universe.

Therefore, from the very beginning, all kinds of moves and power multipliers were put aside, and instead, the focus was on the combined application of martial arts techniques and principles.

The longsword in Bai Yang's hand emitted a halo of light, instantly granting him unstoppable and invincible attack power.

Hong's understanding of the laws is not that deep, but he possesses the Light Domain, and is known as invincible within the planetary level.

"Bai Yang, you must be careful. Hong's domain is extremely terrifying; it's already at the peak of the first level and is almost at the second level."

The Star Guardian silently reminded him.

Bai Yang certainly knew this; in fact, Hong had reached this level by 2060 at the latest.

Hong's spear moved like a ray of light, traveling in a straight line.

The entire gun body emits a strange black light, which can also enhance its attack power to some extent.

The two, eager to test their skills, simultaneously chose to let the blades of their swords and the tips of their spears clash together!

The collision of the two small and agile weapons produced a sound almost like the roar of a giant cannon!

boom!

After a loud bang, both of them were thrown backward at the same time.

They each took three or four steps back before regaining their balance.

It seemed like a draw, but Hong knew he had actually lost!

Guns are all about going all in, with the attack power concentrated on a single point at the tip.

The power of a sword, however, is distributed across the entire blade; this is the difference between a point and a line.

Crackling sounds!

The metal of the sword blade and the spear tip developed huge cracks after such a terrible impact.

After enduring such power, both weapons were destroyed.

This is a virtual space, and Hong immediately had the program refresh to generate two brand new weapons.

Bai Yang pondered to himself, "Hong has no knowledge of the [Interference] technique, yet he can achieve this effect."

This means that he had actually concentrated all his power into the entire spear, which was why he was able to barely fight against me.

But this is his limit, and Hong will definitely change his approach next.

As expected, Hong shook his spear again, and the scene around him suddenly began to distort.

He's breaking it down into smaller parts, extending the field of light outwards, and affecting the propagation of light over a large area.

Even martial artists with exceptional perception wouldn't be able to easily pinpoint his location.

Hong was like someone hiding behind countless invisible and intangible concave and convex mirrors, whose perceptions of distance, size, length, and even direction were forcibly altered.

The ability to sense the mental energy of powerful martial artists and spiritualists through mental scans can, to some extent, break this technique.

However, this would inevitably lead to a decrease in combat strength due to distraction, while Hong could maintain this operation with almost no effort, thus gaining a great advantage.

Bai Yang is also unable to use his incredible perception here.

However, he had a better way; in fact, he was now already within Hong's territory.

He now sees various strange phenomena on Hong's body, which may all be a disguise and should not be taken seriously.

Bai Yang stood still, then suddenly unleashed dozens of sword strikes with his longsword.

These sword techniques were accompanied by a faint halo, and simultaneously transmitted in eight directions.

He seemed to be standing in the center of a Bagua diagram, and anyone who wanted to get close to him had to break through the outer defenses of the Bagua diagram first.

The sword energy, imbued with the [Interference] technique, can linger in the air for a long time.

This is also a field!

He actually used sword techniques to forcibly simulate a field-like effect!

The inspiration is obvious; Bai Yang wanted to imitate the special effect of the Huashan sword leaving a shadow in the air.

Its attack power is not strong enough yet, but it is sufficient to defend against enemy sneak attacks.

Faced with such a wondrous sight, Hong certainly dared not launch an attack rashly.

After a few seconds, they tentatively attacked Baiyang from one direction.

As soon as the sword energy beside him was slightly disturbed by Hong, Bai Yang immediately discerned his actual location.

He immediately moved towards the seemingly empty spot and unleashed a series of sword strikes, including slashing, cutting, chopping, and slicing, for a total of thirty-six strikes!

These sword moves were so fast and fierce that Hong couldn't defend against them at all and could only retreat immediately.

Can light be cut?

Generally speaking, this is impossible.

However, under Bai Yang's profound understanding of "interference," it is possible to cut through the realm of the laws of light!

The invisible and intangible domain power surrounding Hong was shattered by Bai Yang's single strike!

His entire body was immediately exposed! The surrounding scenery instantly returned to normal!

Bai Yang pressed his advantage, unleashing the [Speed] technique beneath his feet and instantly reaching Hong's side.

The two were quite different in speed. Relying on his decades of combat experience, Hong managed to block several swords with the tip of his spear, but it was to no avail.

This time, Hong Ke no longer had the power of his domain to protect his spear!

After Bai Yang flicked his wrist and slashed more than a dozen times, the spear in Hong's hand was like an extremely long candle, cut into pieces by him.

At this point, there is no longer any need for fighting.

The two stepped back and began to summarize what they had learned.

"Brilliant! Brilliant! I never imagined I'd see you lose! You've really opened my eyes today!"

Thor, standing to the side, was laughing very happily.

Although the two had a very good relationship, Thor's speed, which he excelled at, had always been severely countered by Hong's domain.

Seeing his older brother lose once, his happiness was absolutely genuine.

Hong remained silent; he had indeed not anticipated such a crushing defeat.

However, given Bai Yang's overwhelming attack power and speed, this situation is not surprising.

He even had a vague feeling that if the two of them were only competing in swordsmanship and moves, he might lose even more miserably!
