The heavy axe blade contracted and extended, transforming into a trident covered in barbs and extremely sharp.
The tip of the halberd gleamed with a dark luster, as if it had been quenched with the deadly poison of countless lives.
His arms were bulging with muscles and veins, and with the force of a thunderbolt, he thrust out at Su Chen's right side at an extremely tricky and ruthless angle.
The shadows of the halberds blocked all possible evasion routes for Su Chen on his right.
Both attacks were swift and decisive, without any unnecessary probing; each strike was a fatal blow.
On the left is a ferocious, silver-white wolf tearing everything apart.
On the right is a dark, poisonous blade that pierces through everything.
The coordination was seamless, extremely fast, extremely accurate, and extremely ruthless.
It was as if a death net, meticulously woven from countless sharp blades, had descended from the sky, enveloping Su Chen and intending to utterly annihilate him.
However, this saturation siege was enough to make any experienced knight's scalp tingle and even feel despair.
In his shimmering locust form, Su Chen made a move that Shotaro and Akiko, who were watching from afar, found completely incomprehensible and even absurd.
He simply took a small, seemingly casual step to the right front.
That step was extremely small, as light as a feather landing, forming a stark contrast to the surrounding ferocious attacks.
It's just this tiny, insignificant step.
Yet it seems to contain some supreme mystery that allows one to see the trajectory of all things and foresee the future.
The fang ace's sure-fire "ArmSaber" (ArmSaber~ˇ) carried a gust of wind that nearly tore through eardrums, almost grazing Su Chen's nose.
The sharp blade tip created a fierce gust of air that even blew the edge of the golden armor around his neck, producing a faint scraping sound.
The trident, powerful enough to pierce steel plates, grazed Su Chen's back and slammed heavily onto the hard ground with a whooshing sound as it missed its target.
With a deafening crash, a jagged crater was smashed into the ground, sending debris flying everywhere.
The two are most lethal, and their attacks are perfectly coordinated.
It was all because of that tiny step he took, so simple and casual it couldn't be simpler.
And perfectly, in an unbelievable way, by a hair's breadth, they completely missed each other.
"How can it be?!"
Shotaro, watching from afar, nearly popped his eyes out of their sockets, his jaw agape wide enough to fit an egg.
His mind went blank; he was completely unable to process the unbelievable scene before him.
That was a combined attack from the Fang Ace and the weapon hybrid. He knew that even if he and Philip were in their best condition, they would never have been able to resolve it so easily.
Shotaro had no idea.
And it's something we can never imagine.
In his Shining Locust form, Su Chen's senses had already surpassed human limits, achieving complete synchronization with the super artificial intelligence satellite, Ark, which floats outside the Earth.
In his view, the world was no longer just a collection of material things.
It transformed into a boundless, deep ocean of data, composed of countless intricate codes and light streams.
Every subtle contraction of the enemy's muscles.
Each tiny shift of the center of gravity.
Even the trajectory of their attack, which they will launch in the next second, or even the second after that.
Everything was being calculated with extreme precision by Ark at a terrifying speed of hundreds of billions of times per second.
Then, in real time and with precision, "prediction lines" that were crystal clear and flashed with different colors of light were presented to Su Chen.
Red represents a deadly threat, yellow represents a potential danger, and green represents a fleeting chance of life.
This is the true power of the Shining Locust form.
It possesses an absolute and overwhelming combat suppression force that is almost "omniscient and omnipotent" and "able to predict the future".
"Roar--!"
Despite missing its target, Fang Ace didn't seem to calm down; instead, it went into an even more frenzied state.
Its wild animal instincts prevented it from understanding this irrational evasion.
It suddenly stopped, its powerful limbs carving deep furrows in the ground, and then, using this twisting force, its body spun around at an incredible angle.
It turned around and unleashed an even more ferocious and wild spinning slash.
The "AnkleSaber" at his ankle, like a scythe drawn from its sheath, gleamed with a cold silver light and swept towards Su Chen's lower body with a sharp, teeth-grinding sound that tore through the air.
This attack covered a wider area and was faster.
The weapon hybrid on the other side immediately understood without hesitation.
The trident in his hand emitted another ear-piercing metallic twisting sound as it rapidly deformed.
The sharp halberd tip retracted, the hammerhead extended, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a massive, heavy warhammer covered with ferocious barbs.
The hammerhead gleamed with the cold, hard luster unique to metal, carrying a savage and unreasonable aura of destruction, and slammed down hard towards Su Chen's crown.
The howling wind foreshadowed the weight and terror of this blow.
There is no way to heaven and no way to earth.
A deadly sweeping blow from below.
It felt like Mount Tai was pressing down on me from above.
A more intricate and desperate net, woven from both rage and precision, once again descended upon Su Chen.
This time, it seems there is no way to dodge it anymore.
But Su Chen still didn't make any unnecessary movements.
He didn't even blink.
In his data-driven perspective, the deep red warning trajectories representing two deadly attacks were clearly outlined.
A cunning and ruthless approach, flowing from bottom to top.
A powerful, heavy force descended from above.
Among the countless complex and intertwined attack trajectories and possibilities, there exists a unique, extremely small, and fleeting "safe point".
And, equally brief, yet containing the opportunity for a thunderous strike, is the ".‖ Counterattack Point".
According to Yak's precise calculations, this point existed for only 0.03 seconds.
For ordinary people, this is practically non-existent.
Just as Fang Ace's "Ankle Saber" was about to tear through Su Chen's leg armor, and the weapon-hybridized giant warhammer was about to smash his head,
Su Chen's figure suddenly and without warning transformed into a blurry, elusive golden afterimage.
That speed was so fast that it completely exceeded the reaction limits of the human nervous system.
It was as if time was being stretched out infinitely and compressed infinitely at this moment.
The next moment.
He appeared instantly behind the weapon dopant in a way that completely defied the laws of physics.
That position was precisely the only, and optimal, opening for a counterattack that Ark had calculated.
He found it.
In a split second, he precisely seized that opportunity that lasted only 0.03 seconds.
"too slow."
A voice, cold and devoid of any emotion, like the Grim Reaper from the deepest abyss, rang clearly in the ears of the weapon hybrid.
These three words carry absolute confidence, as well as utter contempt for the enemy's speed.
The weapon doppelganger hadn't even figured out why the sound was coming from behind it.
His mind, his nerves, were still caught up in the excitement and anticipation of the warhammer about to hit its target.
Before he could react in any way, not even with the simplest turning motion.
The right leg of the shimmering locust was already enveloped in dazzling golden energy.
The energy was highly concentrated, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction, as if a miniature star were exploding.
A lightning-fast, extremely fast kick.
It struck hard and accurately at the weapon-mixed body's defenseless back, a position made up of countless weapons.
boom! ! !
A deafening roar, deep and muffled yet containing terrifying destructive power, suddenly exploded in the center of the battlefield.
The shockwave spread wildly outwards from the weapon dopant, stirring up clouds of dust.
The weapon dopant didn't even have time to let out a complete scream.
His incredibly sturdy body, made of various high-strength metal weapons, crumbled like a piece of inferior ceramic struck by a heavy hammer under the impact of this destructive golden energy.
Starting from the back of the heart where it was hit, it cracked inch by inch, and then disintegrated with a bang.
Countless weapon parts were shot out in all directions during the violent explosion, scattering all over the ground with a crackling sound.
Su Chen calmly extended his hand, his movements fluid and without the slightest hesitation.
In the instant that the "weapon memory" flashing a dangerous red light was about to be completely destroyed by the aftershocks of the explosion and turned into data fragments.
He slightly closed his five fingers and caught it steadily and precisely in his hand.
The memory still retained a trace of the explosion's heat.
From beginning to end, from the start of the battle until now.
The fanged ace, which had become incredibly ferocious and destructive due to its loss of control, couldn't even touch a corner of Su Chen's golden armor.
All its attacks and efforts seemed futile and laughable, like punching the air.
