Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 142 When fighting alone, you should show your true skills

Si Ming is right, he is not someone else's nanny.

Si Ming was right; no one else needed him to be their nanny.

When the Balancer and the Announcer joined forces to forcibly divide the battlefield, all the Reincarnators of the Celestial Team on the land of Nanzhen responded immediately.

As for Yu Zhiwei, let's leave that aside for now.

Before Luo Yinglong, the 'Wanderer' who had been continuously suppressed by him from a distance suddenly transformed into the 'Destroyer,' who was equally adept at mid-to-long-range combat. The oversight in intelligence meant some inevitable sacrifices, and it's hard to say what the 'Destroyer' was thinking when it discovered that Luo Yinglong was actually a versatile all-rounder. Of course, it's more likely that no one was paying attention.

Song Tian wouldn't pay attention to that.

When the wanderer, who was in grave danger under his blade and might be beheaded in a few seconds, suddenly disappeared, and the mental connection and electronic communication channel in his mind were also cut off, he did not rush to take any hasty action.

He simply stood there, calming his mind and muscles—the fighting spirit had been slightly surging from the previous activity. And he would use his will to force it to obey his commands.

This won't take long.

And he didn't have to wait long.

Heavy footsteps echoed from the other end of the empty street. And a familiar, enormous figure came into Song Tian's sight and perception.

It's that person.

That Nordic-style berserker, as taciturn as Song Tian.

He appeared before Song Tian once again, but this time he was different from the last.

The temperament has changed.

Compared to his current state, he was previously nothing more than a corporate slave forced to work. Yet now, even from a distance of over a hundred meters, Song Tian could sense his excitement and restless energy.

He gripped the knife a little tighter.

The man who had been trapped hundreds of meters away revealed a ferocious, even terrifying, smile.

"Not bad." The man's aura surged with his words. "All the troublesome bystanders have finally disappeared. As expected, I still prefer a fair one-on-one duel to the death."

His toes lifted slightly. Song Tian remained silent, but his center of gravity shifted forward subtly.

The man's beard and hair swayed with an invisible aura.

One second, then another.

His words received no response from his opponent. The man who had been charging into battle nodded slightly as he raised his battle axe.

The third second passed.

Five-colored blade energy gathered on the blade, covering a distance of over a hundred meters in a single step. Amidst the tearing gale, Song Tian and his blade aura arrived directly around his opponent. Xue Yin's swings were merciless, while the powerful warrior who should be called a 'trapped warrior' laughed as he swung his battle axe.

The blades clashed.

Song Tian's knife was faster.

The first strike hit the axe blade, the second hit the axe body, and the third strike severed the axe handle and slashed down hard towards the neck of the person who was in the fray!

His movements are flawless.

His strikes will not miss.

Even though he could sever the other person's throat in the next moment, Song Tian's heart remained completely unmoved.

'Pfft—' He exhaled a breath.

The breath exhaled by the vanguard looked as thin as a wad of cotton. Even the most imaginative person wouldn't think it could even slightly block Song Tian's fierce slash.

but--

'clang--!!'

The blade seemed to have struck metal.

The five-colored blade energy exploded in all directions, and the aftershocks, powerful enough to cleave the surface of buildings, were brought to a halt by this turbid aura. The utter inconsistency was thus presented before them, and even the most seasoned warrior would be slightly perplexed.

Song Tian was not a seasoned soldier—Song Tian showed no confusion or disarray whatsoever.

Without any hesitation, he drew his sword and retreated, and in the instant he took half a step back, he transformed himself and charged forward again!
The human body executed a cobra maneuver. The blade, swung out once more, slashed towards the side of the attacker's body, an area untouched by the attacker's aura. And this time, all the blade's energy was contained within the edge of this A-grade divine weapon!

It has sharpness, but no energy release.

Grade A Snow Drink already possesses the ability to unleash its properties, and Song Tian activates it in this way!
"It's been seen."

The blade halted again in mid-air. However, besides the sound of metal clashing, the strike also produced long, narrow, black cracks that tore and danced in the air—it was as if space itself was an invisible barrier, and this flawless barrier had broken under Song Tian's focused strike!
The giant axe swung—the weapon, which should have severed the handle, instead restored itself as it was swung. It failed to hit Song Tian, ​​but grazed past him. However, Song Tian did not seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and break through, but instead retreated rapidly towards the complex terrain to his side and rear.

He has reason to do so.

His reason for doing so was that the person charging into battle before him swung his other hand—his palm was clearly empty, yet it seemed to grasp something invisible. And something was indeed being moved, swiftly grazing past the retreating Song Tian's nose!
Very sharp, very sturdy.

Yet it was a colorless and formless object. The answer was already close at hand; Song Tian had deciphered the result. The next moment, that empty hand hurled something fiercely towards Song Tian's direction!
It resembles space, but it isn't.

It was weaponized air, a colorless and formless substance whose structure and specifications were unknown, yet could be truly touched. Its sharpness and solidity were beyond reason, and all Song Tian could do was move swiftly according to his intuition.

'Peng——'

A colorless and formless object was brushed past.

A building in the distance suddenly caved in, and a shallow gash appeared on Song Tian's shoulder. It healed much more slowly than usual. But Song Tian didn't stop.

Let's go, let's go some more!

But you should act based on your intuition.

The thrown air mass neither generates wind nor can be sensed or detected. And without a doubt, this is the true characteristic effect of the Trapped.

"You are very talented."

The voices of the fallen soldiers carried slowly and deliberately through the streets.

"He looks just like me back then."

A distant explosion boomed, the sound so far-reaching it seemed to emanate from another dimension. Song Tian silently took a breath, then swung his sword fiercely across a building. The five elements of his sword aura shifted slightly as a result. All his true energy attributes transformed into earth and fire in that instant.

The Five Elements evolve, and the flames rise from the earth!

The building and the ground instantly disintegrated into a toppled cloud of dust amidst the blade's aura. Intense heat mingled within—it was clearly a dust explosion that had reached its detonation point but whose impact had been suppressed. It completely enveloped the figures of those who had fallen into the fray.

Flawless, flawless. The incinerating flames even surged into the lungs through the respiratory tract. Yet, this attack, which would be fatal to a regular reincarnator, failed to penetrate the attacker's outer defenses at all!

It provides a high, fixed damage reduction effect with a standardized pattern. Multiple small attacks are ineffective if they don't break the armor, and there's no armor wear or fatigue.

We must use more lethal tactics.

Amidst the burning dust, the warriors marched forth.

"Back then, I was just like you, thinking that I could reach the pinnacle of martial arts with my own talent. However, that wretched space not only took away my body, which I had honed through countless trials, but also forced this incomprehensible thing upon me."

The air around him churned, and he held the battle axe that should have been broken. The scorching dust did nothing to stain him. Instead, it exploded violently. Ownership had already changed hands, and the dust only served to accelerate the process.

'Boom—'

The giant axe-wielding man closed in at lightning speed. The air in front of him was thin, while the air behind him was thick. Song Tian's movement speed was slightly slowed down at this moment, and the battle axe was about to strike him.

cut.

Then cut.

The weapons clashed dozens of times in an instant.

Song Tian still held the upper hand in terms of technique, but his blade failed to leave a wound. The dust, which had been left behind, billowed up like a living thing, forcing Song Tian to retreat again.

"I am a vanguard, my ability is to take everything I come into contact with as a weapon. A flower, a blade of grass, a tree, even the air itself—anything I touch will immediately dance according to my will. And this also means..."

Retreat, retreat again. His own moves had become the enemy's killing blow. Song Tian frowned, and tiny bolts of lightning flickered on the Snow Drinking Blade.

The Five Elements evolve, thunder within wind!

A sharp, narrow bolt of lightning struck down towards the enemy soldier who was right in front of him!
This attack was unavoidable; this strike offered no room for evasion. The power of this slash was more than enough to break through the opponent's fixed damage reduction defenses!

however--

"I could never reach the profound martial arts realm of 'every blade of grass, tree, bamboo, and stone can be a sword, and every falling flower and leaf can be used to injure people' on my own!"

The man who was in the enemy lines raised his hand.

He could never reach that realm, for he was already immersed in a realm far more convenient than that. Even if he remained forever ignorant of the reasons behind it, it wouldn't prevent him from wielding that power at will!

His hand grasped the lightning. The next moment, the lightning blade obediently became a plaything he could wield. He then casually but forcefully swung it forward, and in the corner of his eye, he clearly saw Song Tian engulfed by the lightning he had unleashed!

Too close, too close to dodge. The only way to avoid it is to anticipate his attack, a move even he himself doesn't know how he'll strike.

Or perhaps, to reach an even higher realm!
'Crack! Crash! Crash!' A burst of electricity.

He did not receive the reward he had hoped for.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a breath of scorching air slowly escaped from the body of the soldier who had fallen into battle. Regret was evident on his battle-hardened face.

"I thought you were different, but it turns out you won't even make it this far..."

He was somewhat disheartened.

However, the next moment, his eyes widened in shock—the thunder and flames before him suddenly exploded. And Song Tian, ​​completely unharmed, shot out amidst the radiant light intertwined with the five elements!

"Alright." The Snow Drinking Mad Blade struck down along with the voice.
