Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

Oops, I'm being harassed by the Immortal Boat people! : Chapter 86: Excessive force

If there was one thing Jiang Yan envied most about Sam, it wasn't his immense strength, but his ability to always deliver the coolest lines at the right moment:

"I will set the sea on fire!"

"Protocol One, start!"

"Protocol Two, Execution, Scorched Earth Conquest!"

Being strong is a temporary thing, being handsome is a lifelong thing. Even though Jiang Yan and Sam were not much inferior in the fight, when the other party recited those lines, accompanied by the powerful posture and fire effects that he had practiced countless times in private, Jiang Yan felt that he had already lost half of the momentum.

Jiang Yan had practiced this incredibly cool "Soul of Steel" in private before. Unfortunately, the same lines, delivered by robot Sam, were incredibly cool, but Jiang Yan's own renditions were incredibly awkward. The Jade Omen replay had to be immediately deleted to destroy any trace of the scene, leaving Jiang Yan extremely disappointed.

This time, he finally had a successful cosplay on an isolated island in the middle of the ocean with the right scene, occasion and atmosphere. Jiang Yan felt as cool as a cup of iced happy tea on a hot day.

Not only him, but even Yan Qing, who had spent a lot of time trying to create a pose but accidentally ruined it, had a face full of envy and jealousy, saying, "Why didn't I think of this?"

"Teacher Rongju, I want this too! Do you have any special skills that can match the cool lines?"

"What? What do you think of fighting?"

Rongju, an antique who was at least six thousand years old, was almost irritated to death by Yan Qing's request. He refuted with flaming eyes:

"Battle is no joke. A hair's breadth of difference can mean life or death. What's the point of all that frivolous stuff? Only the victorious sword holds any meaning. The defeated swords are buried among the desolate graves. You'll poke twelve holes in him later, and see what else he can say."

"Now, find a sword technique that best suits you and show him the consequences of playing with words in this game of life and death!"

Feeling the molten torch in his body, Yan Qing knew that he was in the wrong, so he had to agree honestly:

"Okay, okay, Mr. Rongju."

But knowing one's wrong doesn't mean one has to change. Although Yan Qing promised Rong Ju not to choose the most impressive sword technique, it didn't stop him from selecting the strongest sword technique from the countless extra memories in his mind, and gave it a name that he thought was the most impressive:

"Brother Jiang, please appreciate the sword formation technique that Teacher Rongju taught me. Be careful!"

"Flower Sword Sea, Sword One, Sword of Wisdom Grass!"

The name almost made the onlookers burst out laughing.

The name Fanhua Jianhai is barely acceptable, but coupled with Yanqing's porcelain doll-like appearance, it really reminds people of the famous Xianzhou nursery rhyme "Wahaha":

"Our fairy boat is a garden, and the flowers in the garden are so bright..."

What's more, they're about to set the sea on fire, and you, little brother Yanqing, created a sea of ​​​​flowers and swords, are you afraid that it won't burn? You've already lost in the name!

However, when the flying sword in Yan Qing's hand shot out, drawing a silver line like a meteor in the air, and directly shot through the raging fire storm around Jiang Yan, the smiles on the corners of all the onlookers' mouths instantly disappeared.

So strong!

The "Qi-operated floating attack unit", commonly known as the flying sword, is the standard weapon of the Xianzhou. Even the Xianzhou people who don't like martial arts are very familiar with it.

While this device was agile, as a remote-controlled weapon, it inevitably suffered from poor anti-interference capabilities and low power output. Mostly, the Cloud Cavalry's flying swords were used for containment or to quickly harvest unarmored, bountiful creatures. In actual siege operations, the most commonly used weapons were still the Thunder Crossbow and the Formation Blade.

How could this containment weapon, in the hands of Yan Qing's brother, possessed by Sui Yang, actually exert such power? Just how powerful was Sui Yang, the Molten Torch?

Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to the tail behind Huo Huo, and the meaning was self-evident:

We're all Sui Yang, so why is she still so weak even after you possessed Huo Huo? Is it because your living light cone is too weak?

This silent contempt immediately made Tail angrily retort:

"Why are you looking at me? It's true that Rongju is more proficient in human skills than I am, but try to let him possess this little wimp? He's definitely not as good as me!"

On the battlefield, facing the sword with astonishing power, Jiang Yan's heart was not at all disturbed. The moment the flying sword shot towards him, he casually used his shield to blow it away, and then continued to focus all his attention on the position and movement of the twelve flying swords.

For Jiang Yan, who had once been assisted by Tingyun and experienced the power of that energy vision, the fact that this Suiyang, called Rongju, could provide Yanqing with this level of bonus wasn't surprising. If it couldn't achieve this level, how could it claim to be a "Martial Brave One Who Sets the Fields on Fire"?

But if it is just this level, it is not good enough. Jiang Yan looked at the flying sword that was bounced away and shook his head in disdain.

Flashy things are only good for bullying weaklings. Jiang Yan, who was once severely bullied by the flying sword, is now proud and has the right to despise such weapons.

No matter how good your skills or how efficient you are, they won't take you one step further on your destiny. Even if you attach a motor to an embroidery needle, how can you harness its surging power?

Likewise, Yan Qing was not surprised at all that Jiang Yan could block this move. Just the first move alone was enough to force the opponent to use the legendary shield, which made him very satisfied. So he raised his index and middle fingers in front of him, and the second flying sword moved without wind and was placed horizontally in front of him.

"Sword Two, Light Dust Willow!"

After saying that, Yan Qing grabbed the hilt of the sword in front of him and swept it across. The blade drew a silver line like a willow in the wind and cut towards Jiang Yan.

This slender arc-shaped sword energy almost pushed its speed to the extreme, even the wind along the way was easily split in two, without causing any hindrance to it.

However, even though Jiang Yan was not in a state of possession by Sui Yang, he had been dealing with Sui Yang for many years, and his sensitivity to the changes in the virtual force in the surrounding environment was far greater than that of ordinary mortals. Before the sword energy reached him, he easily waved his shield again and blocked it outside his body.

"Yanqing, if the next few moves are only at this level, I will start a fierce attack!" Jiang Yan urged after easily blocking these two moves.

Being on the defensive all the time is not his style. If it weren't for the fact that the tactics he learned after being possessed by Sui Yang were very useful to him, he would have been unable to suppress his boiling desire to fight and would have rushed forward to start an endless suppression.

However, there is a limit to how much you can give in. There are a lot of friends watching you. If you fail to waterproof the ditch, you will probably be laughed at for a thousand years.

Since he had been favored by Yan Qing, a disciple of General Jingyuan, Jiang Yan certainly didn't believe that this simple sword-controlling technique could be the full extent of this sword formation. Who knew if these twelve flying swords would form an "S" or a "B" one moment, forming some powerful and bizarre formation?

So when Jiang Yan saw that the two flying swords that he had blocked had returned to the opponent's control and were quietly floating in a certain direction, he decided to start fighting immediately no matter how attractive the next move was.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Yan Qing nodded:

"It's Yanqing's fault now. Watch out for the next move! Kenpachi, Blood Rose!"

With that, the three heavy flying swords connected by their hilts like a windmill. Mysterious, ancient symbols flashed across the blades, and they began to spin frantically. Raging sword energy gushed out, instantly transforming this "windmill" into a gigantic flower of sword energy.

"Hahahaha, that's right!"

Looking at this move that perfectly combined swordsmanship and magic array, Jiang Yan finally felt happy. Without such a move as an opponent, how could he test how powerful his new secret was?

When fighting against Sam, Jiang Yan deeply agreed with the opponent's ruthlessness, seeing that his opponent's fighting style did not leave him any room at all, as if he was ready to lie down in the medical cabin after the battle.

In a life-or-death battle, the most fearful of death will die first. Using Cloud Chant to protect yourself from being burned to ashes? Big mistake. You don't even dare to give it your all, and you still expect to win?

Just like Sam, the right thing to do is to turn your enemies into ashes before you burn yourself out!

So Jiang Yan took the initiative to invite Sam to modify the Cloud Chant technique he had learned, so that the Cloud Chant technique that originally flowed with water vapor to protect itself could be transformed into a killer move that turned flames into raging waves and devoured the enemy. With Sam's very kind and long-term cooperation and feeding of moves, it finally took shape.

After resisting Yan Qing's three moves for such a long time, Jiang Yan had already silently pushed this move to the extreme, and now is the time to launch it!

"The underground fire surges..."

As Jiang Yan chanted this spiritual word, the flames around him suddenly exploded and transformed into a swirling blazing wind, radiating outwards and covering everything.

Soon, large masses of flames began to appear in the air and on the ground. The flames grew in number, soon forming a fiery snake, then a sea of ​​fire. The flames resonated with the pulse of power, until the entire Qilong Altar and even the entire Abyssal Scale Ancient Sea began to tremble.

Huh? Is this move really that powerful?

Jiang Yan, who had always performed this move in the virtual world created by Silver Wolf and Kafka, had never imagined that performing it in reality would be so spectacular. However, the arrow was on the string and had to be released. Without further consideration, he pushed his power to the limit and released the second half of the word spirit:

“…flames burning the sky!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the world gave Jiang Yan a positive response that he could never have imagined. Endless imaginary power gushed out from the earth and the ocean. After being ignited by Jiang Yan's power, huge pillars of fire spewed out one after another, converging and circling towards the center of the battlefield from all directions, and finally transformed into an extremely huge phantom of a fire dragon that almost covered the entire sky.

However, at this time, not only the audience and opponents were dumbfounded, but Jiang Yan, the one who used this unique skill, had already fallen into a state of confusion.

What the hell is this? How can this move be so powerful?

In fact, this move is not that powerful, but it is different when it is released in the Qilong Altar.

Although only ruins remain of the Qilong Altar today, thousands of years ago, it was the most important place for the Chiming Clan to offer sacrifices and worship the Dragon Lord. In its heyday, it was as big as a city.

Thousands of years of prayers and vows bearing the power of "immortality" had completely transformed the power structure here. The Chiming Clan of that time said: "Pray to the dragon, and it will be heard." Jiang Yan unscrupulously performed the Dragon Lord's exclusive Cloud Chant spell in such a place, so how could he not invoke the Dragon Lord's power?

Seeing that even the sky and the sea were set on fire by him, Jiang Yan felt a little bit stuck.

If this move is thrown over, can this molten torch really withstand it? Will it kill Yan Qing directly?

At this moment, Yan Qing also felt a lot of pressure:

"Teacher Rongju, can I block this move with my last sword?"

Looking at this move that looked comparable to his master Shenjun's, even though he was possessed by Sui Yang, Yan Qing's biological instincts were still constantly warning him, making him clearly feel the emotion of "fear".

However, the flame of Sui Yang in his body, which should have been cold, now felt a fiery emotion:

"You're blocking my way! Relax and let me do it!"

When Rongju saw this sword, he was already extremely excited. When it was sealed six thousand years ago, the Chiming Clan had not yet formed an alliance with the Immortal Boat. How could they have witnessed the power of the five Dragon Lords? This was too exciting!

So Rongju stated without hesitation:

"Being able to fight against such a move is worth the price of admission, even if I get smashed to pieces!"

But unfortunately, Yan Qing was inspired by Rong Ju's fighting spirit and also started to burn:

"No, Master Rongju, facing a powerful enemy, it's time to break through ourselves and shatter all shackles. Let's face this move together! Even if I'm not well-trained, can Brother Jiang still kill me?"

"Damn it! Little devil, don't you have any respect for your teacher?" Rongju was extremely unhappy that he was forced to share the powerful enemy that he only encountered once in thousands of years with a little devil.

But seeing that the opponent's moves were already ready to be launched, how could it have the time to forcibly suppress the opponent's will and start an internal fight?

The defeat to Teng Xiao, caused by their own selfish motives, was the most vexing thing for Rong Ju over the past thousand years. Now, faced with this situation again, Rong Ju finally chose to give almost all of his strength and his complete understanding of this sword move to Yan Qing in a spiritual fusion:

"Kid, beat him for me!"

"Understood, Teacher Rongju!"

Only someone with the "Sword Embryo Martial Bones" of Yan Qing could digest such a massive gift package so quickly. After completing all of this, Yan Qing's confidence surged. He clasped his hands together, formed a sword gesture, and twelve flying swords swirled around him, constantly spinning and converging until they formed a massive cloud of sword energy.

"Flower Sword Sea, Sword Twelve, Ice Night!"

"Brother Jiang, come over here!"

As the words fell, the huge cloud column of sword energy suddenly burst out with countless icy sword energy. The sword energy was endless and continuous, making it impossible to see how many there were. One could only see petal after petal of silver sword energy continuously extending in the sky, tearing the ubiquitous flames into pieces and extinguishing them. In the blink of an eye, it covered a small area of ​​the sky.

The tremendous power of Yan Qing's sword made Jiang Yan extremely excited.

Even if the power increases greatly for unknown reasons, who would be willing to retract their special skills without any reason or hit the air?

Since Yanqing is so confident, what is there to be afraid of?

So Jiang Yan guided the giant fire dragon in the air without hesitation, and with a huge dragon roar, pounced down on the huge ice night cereus. Under the confrontation between the scorching heat and the extreme cold, the entire Qilong Altar was instantly shrouded in ice fog and heavy rain.

Though Yan Qing had renamed this sword, it remained Rong Ju's ultimate skill, painstakingly devised after a thousand years of sealed cultivation to defeat Teng Xiao. Without Sui Yang as his martial hero, providing the host with the powerful multitasking computing power and the powerful bonus of transforming emotions into strength, ordinary humans would never be able to wield it.

However, what the Molten Torch never expected was that on its first use, it would encounter an incomprehensible existence. What was the origin of this terrifying existence that almost all the power of the world responded to its call?

But the move had already struck him, and no matter how much he didn't understand, it only made sense to block it. Even though the Molten Torch acted as both a battery and a calculator, collaborating with Yan Qing to unleash this move to its full potential, it still couldn't withstand the sea-burning, sky-burning flames. Soon, the balance of power began to tilt. He could only rely on the Molten Torch and Yan Qing to constantly consume their own strength to hold on, and he cried out inwardly:

Brother Jiang, why don't you stop? If you don't stop, I'll be reduced to ashes!

What kind of friends does this kid have? Is he trying to kill him along with me?

Jiang Yan certainly hadn't intended to use this move to kill both the hostage and the kidnapper. After unleashing this move, he stopped maintaining and adding power. But what he didn't expect was that even though he stopped, the world didn't, continuing to channel its power towards the Flame Dragon's location, following the trajectory of this modified version of the Cloud Chant spell.

What the hell is this? If I make a move at the Dragon Praying Altar, do I really have to pray for a dragon?

Just when Jiang Yan was desperate and couldn't stop, a savior appeared:

"Glorious and mighty spirit, obey my command and kill without mercy!"

Along with the resounding words, a golden figure that covered the sky suddenly appeared in the sky, waving a giant lightning blade across the sky, and directly cut off the fire dragon summoned by Jiang Yan!

Oops, we're being harassed by the Immortal Boat people! : Chapter 87: Repeating the same mistakes

"It's over, we're dead!"

Seeing the God displaying his divine power, although Yan Qing escaped a disaster, his expression was no better than that of a dead person.

He took the initiative to collude with Sui Yang, fought with law enforcement officers, and finally had to trouble the general to come and rescue him. Wouldn't this damage the general's reputation?

Yan Qing, feeling completely bewildered, could not help but seek help from the molten torch in his body:

"Teacher Rongju, what should we do now?"

However, the torch, with its power almost completely exhausted and its flame barely brighter than a lighter, did not respond. Instead, it slowly floated out of its body, weakly but still full of fighting spirit, and said:

"Kid, this battle was exciting! Remember to live a few more years, and we'll continue after I escape the seal!"

After saying that, he flew to Huo Huo and dived into the "Cang Yue Hu".

This attitude of sealing it up and roasting it as you please, and lying down and letting it be beaten, has made everyone completely helpless.

Energy creatures like Suiyang are practically indestructible unless devoured by other energy creatures. If they could be killed, the Immortal Boat people would have done it six thousand years ago. Why would they wait until now? Furthermore, in its weakened state, it wouldn't even be able to cook skewers, let alone return to the Creation Oven. Even if it were the culprit, what could anyone do about it?

But Yan Qing and Jiang Yan clearly had different opinions on this guy's unrestrained attitude:

"Ah! Teacher Rongju! You can't be in trouble! What will I do without you?"

"Huo Huo, does the Ten Kings have any way to give it emergency treatment? It would be great if it can come out and take responsibility for its crime!"

However, their struggle was doomed to fail, as a familiar voice rang out from behind them:
