Chapter 464: Suppression
Destiny's Dominion · 第四六四章 压制
Just as Li Mochen spoke, the middle-aged 'butler' had already fired several bullets. His firing frequency had actually decreased, but the power of each shot increased severalfold. He also tried to bypass the 'Benedict Holy Shield' and strike directly at Li Mochen's body.
However, the three hundred and sixty 'Sun-Moon-Star Heavenly Star Divine Swords' controlled by the latter had already reached the middle-aged 'butler'. Those tiny flying swords, like a tide or water, penetrating every gap, instantly submerged the man, continuously cutting and chiseling around him, causing his external source energy armor to nearly collapse in an instant!
Eastern cultivators have no strict class divisions; they are more akin to Western magic swordsmen, with extremely comprehensive abilities. Even those martial cultivators are not as extreme as Western warriors. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, they can also use their own martial arts to control the power of heaven and earth, achieving both close and long-range capabilities, and practicing both magic and martial arts.
Western professionals often excel exceptionally in one ability but have obvious weaknesses in others, which they can only compensate for through兼职. However, only those with the highest level of talent, like Michael Wood, can manage to balance multiple magic professions and advance simultaneously.
The strength of the alien race powerhouse before Li Mochen was indeed unquestionable. The class characteristics of a legendary level 4 magic shooter allowed them to threaten demigods under certain special circumstances. But their close combat ability was often inferior even to some quasi-legendary warriors, and this person was no exception.
Facing Li Mochen's 'Sun-Moon-Star Heavenly Star Divine Swords', this man quickly lost the ability to shoot. He could only temporarily switch to a melee weapon, fleeing in panic under the overwhelming rain of swords, barely managing to parry and dodge.
There was almost no trace of blood on the middle-aged butler's face. He realized he had made a huge mistake. The person before him was no weak ant to be crushed, but a legendary powerhouse with top-tier combat skills! As a magic shooter, how foolish was it to voluntarily enter the attack range of a close-combat legendary?
At this moment, the battle between Li Mochen and Delfinia had also entered a white-hot state in an instant. The Lord of the Void Night spread a pair of black wings behind her, unfolding her 'Combat Domain', 'Strength Domain', 'Agility Domain', 'Magic Suppression Domain' one after another, all at a high level. The holy-grade longsword in her hand was like a black hole, devouring the surrounding light and magic energy, then she directly closed in on Li Mochen, engaging in close combat with him.
Both sides' sword speeds were incredibly fast. One's attack was like fire, the other's defense was like a rock. In an instant, they exchanged hundreds of strikes. The sword light, also known as 'Source Energy Slash', crisscrossed between the two, twisting and turning a hundred times.
Just twenty seconds later, a crisp 'clang' was heard. Delfinia's figure retreated, simultaneously sidestepping one of Li Mochen's star-blue sword lights. However, the wind force brought by the sword light still created a small crack in Delfinia's coat.
At this moment, the 'Lord of the Void Night's' face had turned extremely ugly.
Delfinia, boosted by various spells, even with her injuries, had several times the strength of Li Mochen. Only because the weapon she held was weaker, Li Mochen could barely maintain a stalemate in their few sword clashes.
This was because Delfinia's previous level 5 holy sword had been lost after the FBI's continuous pursuit. Now she was using only a backup level 1 holy artifact. Meanwhile, the sword in Li Mochen's hand was the 'War Demon's Heart' he had captured in the Adriatic Islands naval battle, a level 3 holy artifact, a one-handed sword exclusive to magic swordsmen.
Since both legendary level 3 and level 5 belong to the legendary realm, their strength had no essential difference. The 'War Demon's Heart's' ability was enough to bridge the gap in their strength.
But the problem was that Delfinia's sword speed was at least twice that of Li Mochen! Yet in the previous exchange, she felt completely suppressed by her opponent!
Li Mochen's sword speed was indeed slower, but he had astonishing foresight. He could often discern her intentions twenty moves in advance and make arrangements beforehand. Within the rotation of his sword light, he sealed off many of her sword paths.
"Dell, I feel my body weakening. This is the death divine authority!"
The 'butler' not far away reminded anxiously. This made Delfinia's expression turn serious, as she also felt the changes in her body—the vitality of cells and flesh was decreasing, and her elemental power was draining away.
"Not only that, there's also the divine authority of the battle wind! The wind never ceases, the battle never ends, and my power and speed will continue to grow."
Li Mochen replied with a smile, voluntarily revealing his trump card: "If you don't defeat me now, my strength will only get stronger."
In fact, his life divine authority was also at work, continuously drawing the life force from these two and pouring it into his body, causing Li Mochen's strength to increase rapidly.
Just as Li Mochen's words fell, Delfinia charged forward again.
Unlike before, she now truly regarded Li Mochen as an opponent, her fighting style becoming extremely狂暴. She completely disregarded the consumption of magic source, slashing wildly with one sword after another. However, her target had shifted to the Light Demon No. 4 on Li Mochen's body, trying to damage the exposed pipelines. She was willing to trade injuries for this, even if it meant being struck in the heart by Li Mochen's 'War Demon's Heart', her momentum reminiscent of the 'Blood-Eyed Angel' Robert E. Yvonne's fighting style.
Li Mochen silently praised her. She had found his weakness. The Light Demon No. 4 was after all a trial version, a verification machine used by Anthony to test various technologies. He had never intended to use it in actual combat from the start, so he hadn't been very careful with the handling of various circuits.
Fortunately, his strength and speed had now increased by at least 15% compared to before, so he could barely cope.
Although the level of swordsmanship in this world was not inferior to that of the Original Dome Realm, it was highly homogenized, leaning towards practical combat types—domineering, simple, refined, straightforward, with strong explosive power, and not much flashiness or redundancy. However, they were weak in fine control and rarely had long-term strategies. Simple movements meant a lack of variation, making it difficult to lay out plans in sword fights.
If used for battlefield slaughter, Western professionals in the Bright World were undoubtedly more adaptable than Eastern cultivators. But if it was personal sword fighting, the latter excelled by far.
As time passed, Li Mochen could feel that his opponent's sword was becoming more and more impatient, starting to seek quick success.
"If this is all you've got, then I'm truly disappointed, Lord of the Void Night!"
Li Mochen deliberately provoked his opponent to increase her strength. Taking advantage of the moment when Delfinia couldn't control her figure and strength, his sword suddenly struck heavily against her chest. However, the sharp sword light did not pierce through; under Li Mochen's deliberate control, it dispersed all over her body, causing her to spit blood and uncontrollably retreat several miles under the impact.
