Wanting to defeat Lan Mu was no different from a fool's dream. Not to mention Lan Mu's various transformations and abilities, it was enough to break Liu Liang's mentality.
Just looking at the ancient sword's weakness, there were many ways to deal with it. For example, constantly disrupting the opponent's mentality during battle. For example, exploding the opponent's brain in an instant. There was no chance for the opponent to use faith power. For example, cutting off the arm holding the sword and seizing the ancient sword.
Relying on external objects had many weaknesses. Although Lan Mu was also relying on external objects, the Life Sphere had directly transformed his body. Even the Balance Domain could not restrain his body.
"Clang!"
The two swords clashed and produced a crisp sound. Lan Mu noticed that there was a crack on his Rebellion Sword.
"Not bad, very strong."
Lan Mu jumped onto the high wall and used the scarlet energy to repair Rebellion Sword.
He did not plan to use any other transformations. He only wanted to use his Dante's Physique to fight with Liu Liang. At this moment, his whole body was filled with excitement.
"Your sword doesn't seem to be much." Liu Liang said as he stepped on the air and rushed towards Lan Mu.
Lan Mu jumped up high. He could also stay in the air, but he relied on the scarlet energy to form a platform to fight in the air.
The two of them had a tacit understanding with their sword techniques. Liu Liang was gifted in this aspect. He had integrated hundreds of sword techniques and already had his own path. The edge of his sword appeared and disappeared unpredictably. It was a sword dao that pursued the pursuit of killing the enemy.
"Even if you pierce through my heart, I will be fine." Lan Mu was also fighting with his life. If he was not trying to forcefully decapitate Liu Liang, he was aiming for his wrist.
When the two of them attacked, one of them would definitely suffer.
Lan Mu's scarlet energy expanded like a demon king. Just his posture alone gave people the illusion that he was not human.
"Puchi …"
Liu Liang's ancient sword pierced through Lan Mu. As expected, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lan Mu counterattacked and slashed Liu Liang into the sky. He tried to cut off his arm.
However, with just a thought from Liu Liang, all the Counter Swords were blocked. Not a single one of them landed on Liu Liang's body.
Taking a few steps back, Lan Mu looked at Rebellion. It was full of cracks and holes.
"To be able to block my sword with your eyes closed, you're really amazing."
He did not know if Lan Mu was praising Liu Liang's swordsmanship or just the ancient sword.
Lan Mu's swordsmanship wasn't bad. In addition, his hand speed was extremely fast, and his strength was supported by magic. Let alone a modern swordsman, even the ancient swordsmen in movies and TV series wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Hence, 90% of the reason why Liu Liang was able to compete with him was because of the ancient sword.
"His ambitions are extremely high on the path of the sword, so no matter how I attack, he is confident that he can block my sword." Lan Mu repaired the greatsword while taking out the scarlet and azure pistols to shoot.
All the magic bullets were bounced back. He swung the sword so tightly that it was impenetrable, blocking all the bullets that could blow up a building. This was completely beyond the limits of his ability.
"I understand now, I have seen through the limits of the power of faith."
Lan Mu was suddenly enlightened. Before, he was still wondering why Liu Liang could use the power of faith to break through common sense, but his battle was still so ordinary. He even had to tangle with the ghoul Ling Qi for half a day. He didn't seem that strong. At first, Lan Mu thought that it was because his faith wasn't strong enough.
But now he understood that the power of faith could only interfere with things that targeted him. It could only affect him.
With the power of faith as the 'cause', it could only change his' effect ', and not the reality of the world.
In other words, the power of faith was like a kind of cause and effect energy. It interfered with external effects and turned into an effect that the wielder believed in.
However, the power of faith also had differences in strength. Liu Liang was not stubborn enough, so he couldn't perfectly block Elise's attack.
Similarly, the Bastet Metal was too hard. Its upper limit of strength was so high that he couldn't break it. Of course, the ancient sword's unparalleled sharpness might also be due to his faith. After all, it was an anomaly, so it wasn't difficult to believe that it was indestructible. However, this level of belief was still not enough to harm the Bastet Metal that even Elise couldn't digest.
"No wonder I was fine after being pierced through the heart twice. The power of faith doesn't have the ability to kill the target. It can only affect Liu Liang himself and the ancient sword in his hand. The 'effect' of his faith can't be applied to the enemy."
"Only an external attack, an undodgeable barrage of bullets and energy, an attractive force that pulls and repels him, these effects that target him can be interfered with and turned into an effect that is beneficial to him."
This was the limitation of the Idealistic Ancient Sword. Lan Mu could split a building with a single strike, and Liu Liang was able to block such a powerful attack, but it didn't mean that Liu Liang had such power. Even if he believed that he could split a building, he couldn't do it because he was still a human.
"Even so, it's still very useful to me! Using this kind of thing to display swordsmanship is a complete waste. "
Lan Mu smiled. Rebellious Sword swung even more wildly, completely ignoring his own defense and fighting with his life on the line.
In fact, Liu Liang was fighting in a similar way. However, he relied on his special skill that could block all attacks, while Lan Mu relied on his Constitution that made all attacks harmless.
Even if Liu Liang slashed him a hundred times, he still might not be able to take away 1% of Lan Mu's HP.
However, even if Lan Mu slashed a few hundred times, they were all blocked by Liu Liang. The sound of crackling could be heard.
"It's time to end this … Liu Liang, are you interested in joining the Blue and White Society?" Lan Mu asked.
Liu Liang's face was cold. While Lan Mu was talking, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.
However, Lan Mu dodged back. His throat was cut open, but he was fine.
"I thought so too. You won't agree … Then, goodbye forever."
Lan Mu leaped to a height of ten meters. The Scarlet Power was fully unleashed, turning the sky blood red. His body turned into a demon, and the red lightning around him made him look like a demon.
He unleashed all the energy in his body, and the energy waves shook the small reef island. The surrounding air and sea currents were affected, and the whole place looked like it could destroy the world.
This was the effect that Lan Mu purposely showed. It was to make people feel that they couldn't block it.
This was to shake Liu Liang's mentality and make him doubt himself. Just a little bit was enough, because Lan Mu was really hoping that his attack would be stronger than his opponent's belief. He wanted to use absolute strength to break through the so-called 100% block skill.
Liu Liang's belief dropped, and Lan Mu did his best. With this, Lan Mu was 90% confident that he could defeat him in one blow.
Lan Mu's strength was not the strongest in his transformation, and it was slightly weaker than the True Ancestor of the Vampires. However, his Scarlet Energy was one of the most destructive forces. Although the True Ancestor of the Vampires had one more day than Lan Mu, it was hard to say who would win in a real fight.
Liu Liang was indeed a little shaken at this moment. He looked up at the destructive blow falling from the sky. His whole body was illuminated red, as if his clothes were blood red.
The plants and obstacles that were smashed by the overflowing energy were sent flying. Everything around him was telling Liu Liang how terrifying this blow was. It was definitely not something that a human could resist!
There was a brief moment of confusion in his eyes, but he suddenly became determined and held the Idealistic Ancient Sword high.
He had been training hard since he was a child, tempering himself day and night. He had gone through hundreds of battles and defeated seventy-six Kendo Dojos to cultivate his pride and confidence. Could it be that no matter how hard human beings worked, they could not create miracles?
He did not believe it, because the price of failure was too heavy. He could not afford to lose his own life, the lives of his companions, the people he cherished, and the needs of his country.
"Boom!"
This was the second time that Lan Mu had used all his strength in Dante's body. The last time was when he destroyed the Lop Nur Insectoids.
The dazzling power that he deliberately showed was like a scene in a movie. Many people in Hong Kong saw this grand scene across the sea.
China was alerted immediately and hurriedly asked the satellite to check this place.
The chaotic energy radiation and magnetic field made them unable to see clearly. The clouds were all scarlet. God knew what was going on here.
"Where is this? Who can tell me! "Director Qianlong pointed at the satellite image and growled.
The international situation was very complicated now. The undercurrent was surging, and the situation was tense.
This effect was obviously some kind of strategic weapon or the power of a preacher's battle. It was within Hong Kong's sea area, less than eight kilometers away from Hong Kong. Once this kind of battle moved to Hong Kong, the situation would be too bad!
Qianlong had witnessed the battle between Japan and Lanbai Society at the level of anomalies. One side had used the army but still lost. Now, the people were still denouncing the government.
"Director, that's Hong Kong's Chiling Reef. A few months ago, it was bought by a Hong Kong tycoon who claimed to be developing a private resort."
"Private resort? I remember that the Lanbai Society informed us of the ransom location. It's also in the South China Sea, right? This should be the Lanbai Society's stronghold, right? Li Qing must be locked up there as well. Get the personnel stationed in Xiangjiang to move out immediately. The Nanhai Fleet will surround them. We must not let them transfer Li Qing away. The other party has a preacher … Let Xiao Li take action, "the bureau chief said after some thought.
"Li Shouren? He's in charge of the new aerospace project. It's a secret operation. Only you can contact him. "
"I know. Have the Hong Kong personnel move out first. Don't attack first. I'll have the missile defense system lock onto that side. We'll talk about the ransom first, then ask them what those red lights are doing!"
After saying that, the director was about to go find Li Shouren, when he suddenly received an urgent report.
"Ryu Liang has disappeared! He disappeared into thin air under the surveillance of the Changbai Mountain base. Our surveillance footage showed that when he disappeared, a red circle of light appeared under his feet. "
"Hm? What's going on? Didn't Feng Xue have a Guardian Contract with him? They're husband and wife, able to reach the ends of the earth even if they're so close! "
"Yes, Feng Xue discovered that he was suddenly taken to Hong Kong. She's already on her way there."
"Hong Kong …" the director's expression became tense. He looked at the blurry reef island in the satellite image and thought about the sudden outbreak of battle. Could it be that Ryu Liang and the Lanbai Society's people caused this?
"To be able to bring someone to such a faraway place out of thin air … if this is an anomaly of the Lan Bai Society, then that would be too terrifying, none of us would be safe …" the director muttered, then abruptly said: "No, Li Shouren can't leave the country, tell him to quickly protect the leader, we need to first investigate this mysterious anomaly!"
To be able to transfer someone's location, how is that different from controlling someone's life?
Li Shouren is the number one preacher in the country, so he can't act rashly.
