A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Although it hurt a lot, it wasn't a big problem. ixa's defense was still very strong. He steadied himself and looked at his opponent.

Now it was the other side's turn to be dumbfounded. He knew best what level his attack was at; he was confident he could penetrate even a tank's armor at close range.

But the guy in front of me only took a few steps back. Is that reasonable?

"What kind of monster are you!"

Jiang Yang was filled with questions.

Hey, you two, don't you have any idea who's the monster?

Although he really wanted to say something sarcastic, Jiang Yang decided to shut up when he saw the other party raise the gun. What a joke! Learn from your mistakes, don't you understand?

The short-barreled gun fired again, and this time Jiang Yang dodged in advance. The bullet hit the wall behind him and exploded, blasting a large hole in the wall.

Jiang Yang was about to curse. This thing was not only powerful, but its firing interval was also short, and he hadn't even seen it reloading.

Is this something you should mind your own business with, like Orphnoch?

Jiang Yang dodged the third shot again.

This time, Jiang Yang saw it clearly: the guy's short-barreled gun would disintegrate after each shot, then reassemble itself, and then it could be fired again.

Okay, okay, you like shooting, right?

"Ixa Knu-ck-le Ri-se Up!"

This was Jiang Yang's fastest hand speed ever; it seems only Qiao Ye could rival it.

Before the opponent could fire, the fist gun completed its charge and released an energy blast. The red energy blast swept across the area, annihilating the opponent's attack along with it.

Of course, this is all predicated on hitting the target.

The energy projectiles were moving very fast and were very close together, so theoretically it was impossible for anyone to dodge them. However, this was only in theory.

The rat Orphnoch narrowly escaped the energy blast in a bizarre manner. The house behind it was hit, and half of the wall collapsed.

When Jiang Yang saw Orphnoch the rat dodge, his mind was full of questions. But despite his doubts, he couldn't just stand still during the battle.

Since ranged attacks can't hit, close the distance and use ixa's high attributes to crush them in close combat.

Orphnoch the mouse was still feeling lucky to have narrowly escaped death. If he had been hit, he probably wouldn't have been covered in bruises, but rather with patches all over his body.

Taking a few steps closer, ixa raised his hand and threw a punch straight at his face.

When you're playing a game and discover a skill or attack method that's low-cost, high-damage, has a short attack interval, and is effective against most enemies—in short, it's very useful.

You will most likely choose this move again in your next attack.

This is why Jiang Yang always manages to slap people in the face.

It's definitely not because it feels good to be proven wrong!

However, the attacks that usually worked every time failed to achieve the same effect this time. No matter how powerful the attack was, it was useless if it couldn't touch the target.

Yes, he couldn't touch it. The rat Orphnoch was injured, which Jiang Yang could easily see. Its posture was strange because of its injuries, but Jiang Yang still couldn't reach it.

Jiang Yang's punches always missed their mark. Although the continuous punches had a strong suppressive force, and the opponent was injured and unable to retaliate for a while, Jiang Yang still couldn't touch the opponent.

This feeling is one of technological suppression.

Damn it, I was just worried I'd run into this kind of weirdo, and here I am.

"It's no use. I've been learning martial arts since I was a child, and it's been sixteen years now. You're just an amateur. I admit you're fast, but you have too many unnecessary movements. You have absolutely no chance of touching me."

"Tsk, I wonder, do villains die from talking too much?"

"what?"

The command was activated, and ixa's facial armor opened, revealing her red eyes. At the same time, a huge amount of energy erupted outward from ixa. The Orphnoch, who was fighting ixa at close range, had no time to react and was blown away by the blast.

ixa, burst mode.

Since the defensive mode's fists and feet couldn't get through, he'd use the explosive mode's weapons. Jiang Yang was never one to be stubborn. When he had stronger power to solve the problem, he had no need to hold back.

ixa Holy Sword, Gun Mode.

Although Jiang Yang had never used a real gun or undergone shooting training, with the assistance of the IXA's built-in system, his shooting accuracy was still very high; he was unlikely to miss within ten meters.

Not to mention the aimbot system in gun mode.

Before the rat Orphnoch could get up, Jiang Yang immediately pressed the trigger and fired 30 rounds per second to force him to stand up, while simultaneously moving closer.

After closing the distance, the ixa Holy Sword switches to sword mode.

Although he didn't know much about swordsmanship, Jiang Yang still knew basic slashing. He raised his hand and slashed, and at that moment, Orphnoch held a short-barreled spear. But Jiang Yang was faster; with one strike, the spear was split in two.

The burst mode stats are higher than the defense mode stats, and the burst mode stats with weapons are higher than with no weapons. In other words, Jiang Yang is now terrifyingly strong.

Jiang Yang admitted that the rat Orphnoch was very agile, but that was all. Once the injured rat lost its chance to dodge, all that remained was to be slaughtered at its mercy.

To avoid a disastrous outcome, Jiang Yang decided to act swiftly and decisively.

The ultimate move, the whistle, is inserted, accelerating the reading process.

"Ixa Ca-li-bu-r Ri-se Up!"

The ultimate weapon skill used in ixa's burst mode is God's Judgment, which Jiang Yang likes to call Holy Sword Judgment.

In an instant, Jiang Yang felt the entire ixa system become volatile, with energy accelerating and wrapping around the holy sword. The energy being circulated even exceeded the limits of the ixa itself, and the excess energy was released to the rear.

The instantaneous release of energy created extremely high temperatures that distorted the air, causing tiny particles in the air to burn, as if a blazing sun had been set behind them.

Gripping the hilt tightly and feeling the anti-explosion energy wrapped around the blade, Jiang Yang swung it without hesitation.

Orphnoch's body was sliced ​​in two like tofu and turned to ashes in the blue flames.

It was at this moment that Jiang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He realized that he should not underestimate any enemy, nor should he overestimate his own abilities. This was something he learned in this battle.

When he turned his head to see Kaidou's expression, he found that Kaidou had already left sometime earlier.

Seeing the mess in the courtyard, Jiang Yang did not deactivate his transformation, but went directly into the house.

Don't get me wrong, he's not here to ask for money. He already has enough money to last him a long time, so he doesn't need that much money.

He just wanted to see if there were any secret manuals or anything like that.

And sure enough, he actually found it—a thick notebook.

He glanced at it briefly; it wasn't a martial arts manual, but rather some technique analyses. This would be very useful to Jiang Yang, so he took it with him.

I could already hear police sirens; if I didn't leave soon, I'd be caught red-handed.

The matter of Faiz is being suppressed by the AI ​​and won't be easily exposed, but no one is covering for Ixa, and it's not a good thing for the public to know. At least, that's how the world is.
