A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

What Jiang Yang didn't notice was that in a car not far away, Chie's brother, Morishita, was already dead.

Jiang Yang just accelerated, and accelerated some more. He had a premonition that Orphnoch's sudden appearance this time was not so simple.

Suddenly, he felt a jolt in his heart, and a sense of crisis washed over him. This feeling was exactly the same as when he was ambushed by Zhuo Mo.

The control team changed direction, and at the same time, a huge ball of light appeared ahead of the original route and exploded, creating a deep crater in the ground.

He didn't stop; his instincts told him to keep going.

At the intersection, Murakami Kyoji watched the departing Ixa with a rather intriguing expression on his face.

"President, are we just going to let him go like this?"

Blue Enchantress drove up next to Murakami Kyo and opened the car door.

"He can't escape."

After saying that, he got into the car and then closed his eyes to rest.

The events of the past two days have kept him so busy he barely had time to breathe. The constant stream of bad news has made him wonder if the world is targeting him maliciously.

Let's not even talk about the Brainpower Group. Although the losses were huge, they couldn't do anything to us.

But the deaths of three members of the Lucky Clover within two days have stripped him of any prestige among many Orphnochs.

If it weren't for his undeniable talent, someone would probably have already stepped down from his position.

He had two main purposes for going out this time. First, to find suitable members for the Lucky Clover. The deaths of Takuma and Saeko Kageyama made him realize that elites alone were not enough. He needed true powerhouses.

His second objective was Jiangyang.

Their investigation revealed that Jiang Yang appeared to have come from overseas, and information about his pre-arrival period in Japan was unavailable. He had sought help from overseas entities, but they were unable to locate him.

Not only Jiang Yang, but Ixa also couldn't find a single clue. It was as if they appeared out of thin air, without any record.

However, one thing is certain: ixa, faiz, and Caesar are two different things.

If we could get our hands on the IXA and study it, perhaps the Leo Cavalry Project could make new progress. Even if we could only research some traits or some new technologies, it would be enough to make up for the losses he caused.

If he can thoroughly understand ixa and fuse the two belts, his position will be extremely secure.

Thinking of this, he secretly rejoiced that, thankfully, the research on Leo's cavalry had not been affected.

Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief after running quite a distance. He had left two Hanzos behind when he turned and ran, and it seemed that the other side had no intention of giving chase.

Jiang Yang stopped the car, glanced at the surrounding environment, and felt a bit overwhelmed.

He just randomly picked a direction when he was running, but now there's a problem: he doesn't know the way.

Before, we were running because there was a road in a straight line, so we could just run in a straight line. Now, we've deviated from the route, and there's no navigation. Hanzo, who stayed with them, also lost contact just now. This is troublesome.

He had no choice but to call Qiao again to see if he could get her to go ahead. But it seemed there was no chance.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on today? Do you guys think you're just cannon fodder?"

Seeing the three Orphnochs suddenly appear near him, Jiang Yang's lips twitched under the ixa mask.

This is completely illogical. Riding the War Lion at such a high speed, there's no way these Orphnochs could catch up with me.

Ambush in advance? That's even more impossible. How could they possibly know where I was going? My appearance in this direction was just an accident. An accident? Was it really an accident?

Was I tricked?

For some reason, Jiang Yang recalled a thought that had crossed his mind before: if he could storm the president's office of the Brainpower Group, he wouldn't have to worry about Orphino coming to his door.

It seems to have come true.

Although it was somewhat different from what Jiang Yang had imagined, in the end, he came to work.

But, is it one against three?

According to the experience of the predecessors, if you are fighting two people, kill the alien first. If there is no alien, cut the ADC first. But what if you are fighting three people?

He's not like some General Duanmu, who gets more excited and stronger with more opponents.

The opponent clearly didn't want Jiang Yang to have much time to think, and attacked the moment they appeared. The Orphnoch on the far right opened its mouth, and a ball of black, viscous substance shot towards Jiang Yang like a cannonball.

As they jumped out of the vehicle to avoid the attack, the Jiangyang Jiangzhanshi was stored in their spatial storage. The viscous mass landed on the ground and immediately corroded a large crater. The lingering gas had a pungent odor and seemed to be poisonous.

Jiang Yang was terrified.

Although ixa has corrosion resistance and an air filtration system, it's best not to try to withstand this kind of attack head-on.

A sense of crisis welled up in his heart, and he turned his head to see a giant hammer coming down on him.

That was truly a giant hammer, only slightly smaller than Kiva's Degar Hammer.

Seeing that he was about to be hit, he jumped back and out of the attack range. The heavy hammer landed and the road surface crumbled.

As soon as Jiang Yang landed, he felt another sense of crisis. This time, he was a step too slow. A huge pair of scissors pierced Jiang Yang's undershirt on his side, sparks flew, and Jiang Yang groaned in pain.

As mentioned before, Jiang Yang fights by taking things one step at a time. He's fine in one-on-one situations, and he can barely manage one-on-two, but when there are more than two enemies, he can't react in time. This is a fatal flaw in his awareness and experience. Even if he has the ability to sense danger, it's meaningless if he can't react in time.

To give a simple example, if you're playing Sekiro and fighting Genichiro Ashina one-on-one, you know you can detect the danger warning above his head and can barely react. But what if there are two Genichiroes? In that case, even if you see the danger warning, it doesn't mean you can react in time.

What? You've never fought Genichiro? Well, neither has Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang pulled out the ixa Holy Sword and knew from the first wave that he couldn't just sit back and take the hits; he had to take the initiative and take down one of the Orphnochs first. Only in this way could he turn the tide of the battle.

He raised his hand to swing his sword, but the sense of danger in his heart made him stop swinging and jump to the side to dodge, just avoiding the flying corrosive ball.

However, because of the wide-open chest opening during the dodge, the hammer struck Jiang Yang's chest, and even with IXA's amazing defense, Jiang Yang still felt a surge of blood and qi.

Next came the scissors.

"Damn it, am I using a repeating skill to fight the boss?"

Several times in a row, just as Jiang Yang was about to attack, his premonition warned him of danger, and his body instinctively dodged. However, he was caught in the recovery animation after dodging and hit by the third attack. His overly acute senses have led to this consequence; he's too overreacting to danger. Come to think of it, has this ability to perceive danger not stopped improving?

After several such incidents, Jiang Yang realized he couldn't continue like this.

Attacks will be interrupted, and dodges cannot completely avoid them; if this continues, you will be worn down and killed.

He decisively took out his whistle to unleash his ultimate attack.

We must overcome this; only by overcoming our own fear of danger...

Amidst ixa's incomprehensible finishing move audio, he dodged the heavy hammer, but a giant pair of scissors opened and clamped him between them. It seemed to be trying to cut him in half at the waist, but ixa's seemingly soft undershirt was incredibly tough and impossible to break through.

"You're the one I've been waiting for!"

The guy with the scissors is very fast, and his attacks are always the hardest to dodge. If you can't hit any ranged units, you have to deal with him first.

Jiang Yang felt a strong sense of crisis, but this time, he did not dodge. Taking damage head-on was not his style, but it would be a loss if he took more damage because he didn't want to take damage.

With the Holy Sword Judgment, Jiang Yang unleashed his attack, wielding both the scissors and the corrosive orb, instantly killing the Orphnoch before him.

The scissors at her waist also crumbled and disappeared.

The corrosive orbs that landed on them sparked bursts of fire, but failed to corrode the ixa, and the toxic gas was successfully filtered out.

Having overcome his fear, Jiang Yang felt a sense of relief.

For the second corrosive ball, Jiang Yang didn't try to withstand it head-on. Instead, a flash of light from his chest temporarily blinded the giant hammer Orphnoch, and then he grabbed it, deploying his defense.

The Corrosion Orb is useless against ixa, but it is very effective against Orphnoch.

After dodging an attack, Jiang Yang snatched the giant hammer from Orphnoch and threw it at Orphnoch in the distance. Then, he grabbed Orphnoch by the neck with one hand and used it as a shield as he charged forward.

After getting a little closer, he threw the Orphnoch in his hand, and at the same time, he reloaded his special move, took out the fist gun energy bullet and released it. The special move hit the Orphnoch that had not yet hit the ground, and the explosion knocked over the guy who was trying to corrode the ball.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Yang once again unleashed his ultimate move, assuming the finishing pose of Flame God G3. He hadn't managed to land the blow last time, but this time he was determined to see who could stop him.

However, just as he launched himself into the air, a figure rushed out from the side at an extremely fast speed and knocked him over.
