A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 300 The Long-Awaited Sword-Drawing

With the support of electronic technology that can be described as superhuman, almost all electrical devices in the city were hijacked a few seconds ago, no longer used to receive various signals and messages from the United regime, but instead used to receive the massive signal transmitted from across the ocean.

All the electrical appliances in the city temporarily became receivers and navigational beacons, allowing Leopold's soul data to land precisely here.

After Leopold's soul data, carrying a large amount of the city's electricity, was projected out, the person behind this remote data transmission activity continued to let the remaining electrical signals wreak havoc on the city.

To be precise, it involved a large-scale intervention targeting electrical appliances in the city.

The crisscrossing sky bridges and indicator lights, these 3D projections, all disappeared after a few violent flashes accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity.

Traffic order in the skies above the entire city was instantly thrown into chaos!

Without the guidance of these 3D projected roads, and with the intelligent navigation programs installed in many aircraft also being interfered with, at least a thousand aircraft were involved in traffic accidents throughout the city in an instant.

The pilots who were originally able to remain calm witnessed the traffic accident and, in their anxiety, hastily swerved to avoid it, causing a large number of aircraft to deviate from their original paths.

Some tried to ascend to higher ground to avoid the impact of traffic accidents, while others turned directly in the air, wanting to go home to see their families and check on their current situation.

Many more aircraft crashed after their power systems were affected by electrical signal interference.

The sky above the entire city seemed to be filled with clusters of dark clouds, their horns blaring and stimulating the nerves of everyone.

But what's more troublesome is that high-speed trains from several directions have already entered the city.

The instruments in their cab had all malfunctioned, and the intelligent program could only emit broken, incomprehensible voice messages. Some of the instruments were even emitting pungent white smoke.

If these unstoppable high-speed trains derail, the passengers on board will certainly be affected, and the entire surrounding neighborhood could be impacted, with buildings collapsing, and chain reactions such as explosions, fires, and dangerous gas leaks all possible.

If things continue to unfold this way, this disaster could ultimately result in at least 100,000 deaths, with several times that number of injured.

Just then, Fifth Mirror was already a thousand meters in the air. The prayer beads hanging from his wrist swung around, and the glass beads wrapped around his palm. He then pressed his palm down.

Below, amidst tens of thousands of bustling vehicles, a soft, warm, pale golden light emanates from the central area.

The floating vehicles that were flying around like headless flies became sluggish after being coated with this light golden light. Even the originally rigid aircraft seemed to become soft and elastic. Even when they collided with each other, they only wobbled twice before bouncing apart.

The light gold radiance expanded at an incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it coated the topmost aircraft with a layer of gold paint, then the next layer, and the next layer after that.

The color of the air remained unchanged, but all physical objects were coated with a layer of golden light.

At the hospital, Zhang Yamin was trying his best to maintain order, while Ban Yang ran outside and looked towards the city.

As shadows fell, a flying car crashed right in front of him.

Ban Yang jumped back in fright, only to see that the front of the flying car, like some kind of extremely resilient golden gummy candy, flattened the moment it touched the ground, and then bounced back to its original shape.

dong dong dong! !

The car bounced back and forth a few times before finally managing to land on its ground.

The car owner was a young girl with purple highlights. Because the car malfunctioned, she fell from a great height. She was screaming when she realized that she was unharmed. She looked out of the car in a daze and met Ban Yang's eyes.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Ban Yang gave a thumbs up.

"Cars in big cities are amazing; they're so flexible. How do they manage to fit engines, hovercrafts, and other stuff inside?"

"No, I didn't, my car is hard..."

The girl who owned the car understood what Ban Yang meant and quickly denied it, her words becoming somewhat incoherent.

But her eyes quickly lit up, and she became excited. "I remember now! I've seen videos like this before. This scene is from Fifth Master's 'The True Body of the Pure Land of Great Bliss'!"

Ban Yang looked up and saw that all sorts of suspended vehicles had been painted with gold. After bumping and jostling, they slowly floated in the air. There were also several long golden trains floating between the buildings.

That golden glow continued to expand, painting the buildings in the city center gold and spreading outwards.

Inside the vast factory, instruments malfunctioned, pressure valves emitted white smoke, and green-painted tanks made a dangerous boiling sound.

The mechanical programs that should have been repaired in time have become disordered, and the robotic arms hanging from the ceiling are swaying erratically.

The worker on duty, drenched in sweat, was running quickly from the other end of the factory, trying to manually shut down the production process.

Just as the canister cracked and was about to explode, a golden light swept across the boiling energy inside, as if it had been transferred out of thin air, and the canister cooled down rapidly.

Similar scenes have occurred in many factories.

The air was clear, the city was golden, as if an invisible, immeasurable golden creature had fallen down, slowly covering the city and absorbing all the power that could cause casualties.

Thousands of meters in the air, golden blood seeped from the corner of Fifth Mirror's mouth.

Throughout the city, all the vehicles that collided and crashed, the instruments that malfunctioned and exploded, and the kinetic energy of the train impacts—all these destructive forces did not disappear into thin air; they were all transferred to him and he single-handedly absorbed and neutralized them.

Hong Siya, who was originally traveling with him, had no time to care about his injuries at this moment. Instead, she rushed into the city and cut off the main power supply to the entire city.

The lights illuminating the city below gradually went out, and golden vehicles descended from the sky in layers.

The invaders relied on electronic technology, and after cutting off the city's power, the force that was still causing trouble everywhere had to fall silent as the power failed.

"President Hong!"

Some vehicles on the street were stacked five layers high, with five vehicles piled together.

Fifth Mirror landed on the roof of the car and sat down cross-legged, looking serene, but the spiritual energy transmission was full of urgency and unease.

"President Hong, the situation in the city is just a cover for the intruder behind the scenes to stall me. They are willing to expose such technology, so they must have a bigger scheme. It should be related to the virus creator and the name that was read on the screen just now."

"Go find it quickly..."

He hadn't finished speaking when it was no longer necessary to say anything more.

Because after the city's power was cut off, the pollution of the city's electrical signals also dissipated somewhat. At this moment, all the psionicists could clearly feel that a monstrous psionic energy wave, capable of destroying everything, erupted on the south side of the city, near the Burmese mountain range.

This spiritual energy collided with another force.

Azure light waves spread out from there, vast and mighty, like surging waves, sweeping across the entire city.

For those whose psionic level is insufficient, if they look up at this moment, they can see that in the sky, which is no longer obstructed by flying vehicles, a vast and slow arc of light is sweeping from the south of the city to the north.

Hong Siya immediately flew south towards the city.

In the mountains and forests.

Guan Luoyang took a palm strike from Leopold, his back pushed against the air, and he crashed to the ground, sending shards of stone flying and dust billowing up.

Leopold swayed in the air for a moment, then with a wave of his hand, sealed Dr. Jinmeng's bleeding shoulders, wrapped the two-headed man in psionic energy, and threw him south.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a gust of wind swept through, and Guan Luoyang leaped up once more.

Leopold laughed loudly, "You blocked our way just now, now it's my turn to block yours!"

His palms were broad and thick, and he struck out with a chopping motion.

The mudras of the Dakinis may seem like just a few gestures, but they are actually incredibly complex. The psionic conductor circuits within the prosthetic body change and adjust with each different gesture, resulting in vastly different psionic operating modes at the microscopic level.

The thirty-six sets of conductor seals of the Hachiyoin can be said to have developed the complex aspects of the use of spiritual energy to the extreme.

Leopold previously split off numerous psionic projections during a clash of ideas to compete with Guan Luoyang in terms of techniques, which was actually a step towards increasing complexity and precision.

However, his palm strike now completely abandoned precise calculations and delicate techniques; it was simply a fierce, swift, and direct attack.

This time, when he struck, not even the ocean illusion appeared, but it truly conveyed the power of a tsunami disaster, the force of which swept away the coastline.

Guan Luoyang's figure, which was originally rushing straight into the sky, suddenly turned at high speed. With ease, he stepped back to avoid the range of the palm strike, and extended a claw from afar, intensifying the gravity and pulling downwards.

Leopold's palm strike missed, and his body, already leaning forward, was suddenly affected by the gravity, causing him to slam directly into the ground.

However, he did not struggle. Instead, he followed the force of gravity and accelerated downwards, striking the ground with his palm.

Guan Luoyang's original intention was to smash him into the ground.

While the ground between mountains and forests is indeed hard, in a battle at their level, these rocky cliffs are practically as rubble as tofu.

Given Leopold's weight and the speed at which he fell, he could have smashed through anything, not just rocks, but even a whole block of titanium alloy underneath.

After Leopold struck down with his palm, he slightly bent his arm and stood steadily on the ground. Meanwhile, from the distant mountains and forests, blue beams of light shot out from the three peaks, bombarding Guan Luoyang from above.

The force of his palm strike, in the blink of an eye, traveled across the mountains and forests to the surrounding peaks, using the height advantage of those peaks to launch an attack on Guan Luoyang.

Three beams of azure light, slightly different in height, shot in at an angle, striking three times in succession and forcefully shoving Guan Luoyang back to the ground.

Although the three peaks are of different heights, even the shortest one is over 300 meters away and nearly 100 meters high. It is conceivable how much loss would occur if Leopold's palm strike was transmitted to the mountaintop and then activated.

Even so, the intensity of the three streams of spiritual energy that struck Guan Luoyang was no less than the full force of Leopold's punch earlier.

The psionic data transmitted across the ocean, combined with the energy injected from the city's electricity supply, has given Leopold a total energy advantage that completely surpasses that of Guan Luoyang.

Even if one were to combine spiritual power, demonic internal energy, celestial river magic power, and vacuum divine power, it would still be inferior.

Leopold took a big step forward, turned his body to the side and thrust out a palm, his right arm raised high, as if leading a line of great tide on the vast sea, pushing it horizontally.

Guan Luoyang unleashed the Demon Dragon Emperor Fist, which resembled a dragon shadow encircling his body. The dragon's head and fist merged, smashing away Guan Luoyang's palm from the side.

Leopold charged forward at breakneck speed, laughing loudly as he unleashed a series of palm strikes, each one accompanied by a roaring sound like a tidal wave.

A thick fog suddenly rolled in between the mountains, causing the ancient forests to sway. Countless teak trees in the Burmese mountain range were instantly soaked by the fog, their green leaves turning bright green and large leaves breaking and flying everywhere.

In the early days of psionic technology, psionic energy was often manifested in the form of electricity.

However, in reality, the nature of psionic energy is very different from that of electricity.

The term "True Spirit Electricity" was later shortened to "Spirit Energy" not only for the convenience of the public, but also because after in-depth research, it was discovered that Spirit Energy can be transformed into almost all forms of energy that exist in nature, far beyond what can be encompassed by the word "electricity".

The path Leopold took three hundred years ago can also be named by borrowing from various forces, using his life experiences and external landscapes to condense into various "forces".

At that time, Yan Zhen went very deep into this path, and even put forward a deeper hypothesis of "borrowing the spirit from the void" than "borrowing the power of all things".

However, the realm of obtaining the divine from the void is extremely difficult to break through. If Guan Luoyang had not had the convenience of being a reincarnator, allowing him to travel to different worlds and come into contact with different systems, he would have found it extremely difficult to comprehend the depths of the void and the existence of the divine power of the vacuum.

Yan Zhen is a person of virtue. He could not reach the void to obtain the spirit, nor did he obsessively pursue it. Instead, he turned from the outside in and embarked on the path of mining human genetic information and evolving it into spiritual martial arts.

For the past three hundred years, Leopold has been following the path of "borrowing from all things," neither breaking through the void to obtain the gods nor exploring the human body's interior. Instead, he has used the advantages of his organization's electronic technology to simulate countless supernatural environments and story backgrounds in increasingly realistic game worlds to assist in cultivation.

He incorporated his psychic energy, primarily in the form of ocean energy, into the grand concept of "ocean."

Guan Luoyang fought him with the Demon Dragon Emperor Fist, his fist force, which condensed gravity and was incomparably domineering, repeatedly shattered the appearance of the shimmering sea tide, crushed the mist, and pierced through the spiritual energy palm force. However, the fist force was bitten by the layers of shadows under the blue sea light and was worn away.

The surging shadows rose and fell, varying in size, and changed rapidly, making it impossible to see their full form.

But Guan Luoyang was certain that he had seen at least twenty-nine different kinds of "momentum".

The vast ocean, with its raging waves, can engulf everything; all things can coexist in the sea.

Only Leopold today, with its vast energy reserves, can support all this "momentum" and unleash its power.

As soon as he landed, a tremendous force, like that of a submarine, rose up from the ground and crashed into Guan Luoyang.

With a single palm strike, even the aftershock of his palm strike could stir up a thick fog that swept across the ancient mountains and forests.

The fog was so thick that it shrouded the mountains and forests in mist. It dripped down from the wet leaves, tree trunks, and rocks, gathering and forming streams on the mountainside like hundreds of tiny brooks.

Wherever Guan Luoyang and Leopold went, the terrain was always lowered, so all the water flowed in pursuit of their path, almost carving out a long river that flowed towards the city.

"Hahahaha, Jin Meng will definitely go to Ba Ye. Guan Luoyang, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Leopold pushed forward with both palms, while Guan Luoyang alternated between left and right, unleashing three punches in quick succession, dissipating the immense spiritual energy.

"That's a good question."

Guan Luoyang's eyes flickered. "If they are dragons, snakes, tigers, and wolves, I'll crush them with my fists and feet. But if they are turbulent seas, I might as well try... cutting water with my sword!!"

With a long roar, he gathered his full intent to strike with his sword, unleashing a burst of sword energy, and slashed out with his palm like a sword.

The Great Sky Slash, a bluish-gray blade of energy formed by the distortion of gravity, was not released outwards, but rather condensed as much as possible at the edge of Guan Luoyang's palm, avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, and slashing towards Leopold's chest with a palm strike.

Leopold couldn't block the hand chop with his arms, so he simply rammed his chest forward. His prosthetic body had no blind spots, no weak points at all.

This impact can unleash a massive psychic shockwave from the chest, with the force of a tidal wave and the ebb and flow of numerous shadows.

Guan Luoyang's hand cleaved through the blue light, severing layers of shadow, cutting through the bionic skin, leaving a harsh scraping sound on Leopold's chest.

Immediately, Guan Luoyang was pushed back by the explosive burst of spiritual energy.

Leopold was startled and charged forward with full concentration.

Guan Luoyang's eyes grew even darker.

No, this knife is too dull.

Knife techniques involving changes in gravity naturally possess a profound artistic conception.

However, when facing an opponent who recklessly squanders energy and intimidates others with overwhelming force, the part of the sword technique involving gravity becomes cumbersome, making the strike less sharp.

There's no need for the Great Sky-Piercing Slash technique; you only need to start with the Golden Eyebrow Blade, come into contact with various martial arts, and eventually comprehend the Heavenly Demon Art to obtain the "Two Parts of the Azure Sky" blade intent.

Guan Luoyang changed his approach to fighting with his bare hands, using his knife to fight head-on, to slash from the side, to strike at the enemy's weak points, and to launch circling attacks from the side.

He needs to remove impurities from his knife skills.

Leopold wasn't unaware of Guan Luoyang's actions, but Leopold himself was also improving. Every time Guan Luoyang smashed those shadows with his fists or slashed them with his knife, Leopold's momentum became more fluid.

Guan Luoyang's process of eliminating impurities also requires his own insights, while Leopold...

"All I need to do is fight, fight, fight. Let's see who finishes sculpting first, or who succeeds in polishing first!"

With every gesture, he exuded an aura of overwhelming power, seemingly capable of surpassing Guan Luoyang and the entire city behind him.

He even sensed a level seven psychic approaching from the city, but with three hundred years of accumulated experience and three hundred years of cutting-edge electronic technology, he could exert a substantial pressure on the city while fighting Guan Luoyang.

The mist made the city's psionicists uneasy, and the person who rushed over was blocked by the temporary fog, as if he were moving against countless steel beams.

Hong Siya did slow down. She could see the battlefield less than a kilometer away, but it was difficult for her to get close. Even the action of drawing her sword was slowed down.

She saw the long river flowing towards the city from the battlefield, while the two-headed man had already disappeared into the thick fog.

It seems that the creator of that crystallizing virus ultimately failed to survive!

"knife!"

Guan Luoyang suddenly shouted.

The mountains and forests rise majestically, and the waters surge and ripple.

Trees, grass, and even the waves on the long river seemed to turn into knives and fly towards him.

But there was already a knife here.

The knife in Hong Siya's hand broke free from her fingers, detached from its sheath, and flew out.

The sword, guided by the intent of the sword, was drawn and flew away!

The knife is four feet long and three fingers wide, with the tip slightly curved upwards.

One side of the blade is engraved with the oath of brotherhood across the land, and the other side with the inscription of peace and prosperity throughout the world.

Guan Luoyang didn't care where the sword came from; he grabbed the wind and mist with his hand, caught the sword, and slashed.

"You can't stop me. That person isn't getting away today either!"

Leopold's body suddenly trembled. The spiritual energy in his body was about to complete its final fusion, truly transforming into a vast ocean of power that was neither obscure nor dark, capable of swallowing everything. His fighting spirit was high, and he was about to unleash a palm strike at the peak of his power when he suddenly felt everything in front of him rapidly shrink.

His body had flown to an unknown distance in the south, flying through the clouds as he listened to the sound of his chest cracking.

"What?!?!"

A long river flowed across the ground, splitting in two.
