Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 518 - 4: Flesh Is Weak!
Buzz.
A blood-red lightsaber appeared before my eyes.
The female warrior known as Holy Blood Rose swooped past with astonishing speed, her figure covering dozens of meters, charging toward the hailstorm of bullets the resistance forces were firing.
Ratatat.
The dense storm of bullets pounded her, but they all stopped about twenty centimeters in front of her, blocked by a semi-transparent dark energy protective shield that warded off the resistance attack. The moment the energy protection field shattered, that blood-red figure vanished on the spot, reappearing twenty meters away. With a sweep of the scorching blood-red lightsaber, a member of the resistance, clad in heavy exoskeleton power armor, was sliced in half on the spot.
"Die!"
"A bunch of scum! Receive the baptism of holy blood!" An ominous female voice echoed from within the armor. Holy Blood Rose’s silhouette darted like a specter, the lightsaber in her hand tracing arcs of blood-red light. Every strike completely severed the enemy, whether firearms or armor—nothing could withstand the blood-red lightsaber’s onslaught.
Meanwhile,
a prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System echoed in Su Ziyu’s ear:
"Detected [Mind Fold] fluctuation!..."
"Analyzing!..."
"Host has mastered the [Flashing] ability!... Synchronizing analysis!... Current analysis progress at 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%..."
"Detected [Blinding Pulse] fluctuation!..."
"Analyzing!..."
"Current analysis progress at 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%..."
This was a blatant massacre!
When Holy Blood Rose’s figure charged into the heart of the resistance forces’ formation, a powerful spiritual wave immediately erupted. Despite having a spiritual enhancement level seemingly only around LV7, the spiritual energy she unleashed reached near LV9 strength.
"My eyes!..." Chaos engulfed the resistance forces.
The spiritual pulse unleashed by Holy Blood Rose directly blinded them; only those equipped with bionic eyes suffered less impact.
But that was enough.
The blood-red silhouette swept through the crowd in an instant. By the time she broke free of their encirclement, there lay a dozen or more bisected corpses. Whether wearing heavy exoskeleton armor or Empire soldiers’ armor, nothing could withstand the lightsaber’s attack—in an instant, nearly a third of their members were slaughtered.
"This lightsaber! So powerful!" Su Ziyu murmured.
The lightsaber wielded by the chieftain earlier was nothing compared; his was a toy, while this woman’s was a deadly weapon.
"Detected [Spiritual Invisibility] fluctuation!..."
"Analyzing!..."
"Current analysis progress at 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%..."
The blood-red figure suddenly vanished.
However, she didn’t slip out of Su Ziyu’s sensory range. The troubling part was that she didn’t attack the rest of the resistance again but charged directly toward his position.
"So, a little mouse was hiding over here!"
"Invisibility, huh?"
"Looks like you stole the Empire’s spiritual amplifier!..."
A blood-red light arc struck toward an ostensibly empty spot on the right, where Holy Blood Rose’s figure appeared in mid-air, her sword slashing down toward Su Ziyu’s position.
Clang!
A strand of deep red flame suddenly ignited.
The unbreakable lightsaber was blocked instantly. Holy Blood Rose visibly paused, her figure using the momentum to retreat over ten meters, exclaiming in amazement, "What kind of lightsaber is this?"
Su Ziyu’s figure slowly emerged.
He had underestimated this woman; she actually perceived his presence, seemingly not through her own spiritual energy but due to a detection-ability feature in her blood-red armor.
"This is not a lightsaber." Su Ziyu stepped forward holding the Sinful Greatsword, saying slowly, "But I’m quite interested in your lightsaber."
Other weapons might not withstand a lightsaber; only energy weapons could counter it.
Su Ziyu’s only weapon entirely made of energy was the Sinful Greatsword, yet its flames couldn’t extend along the lightsaber to reach her body.
"What intense spiritual pressure!?" Expression tinged with hesitation, Holy Blood Rose said firmly, "You’re not with the resistance?"
"I’ve never heard of a spiritualist this strong within their ranks!"
Slightly nonplussed, Su Ziyu replied, "I’m just a passerby."
"But since you’ve already made your move."
"I’m also curious about the strength of the Empire Knight."
"Knight?" Holy Blood Rose seemed to sneer at the term, unable to help herself from saying, "That’s just a retro title those idiots play with!"
"I am a Space Marine of Holy Blood Angels—Ai Wei!"
"Not the same as those trash who have undergone only three or four genetic modification procedures!"
A blood-red arc streaked directly toward Su Ziyu.
At the instant Holy Blood Rose moved, an intense spiritual fluctuation abruptly erupted, morphing into a psychic pulse toward Su Ziyu.
"Detected [Mind Paralysis] fluctuation!"
"Immunity Success."
"Analyzing!..."
"Detected [Mind Impact] fluctuation!"
"Immunity Success."
"Analyzing!..."
Su Ziyu remained entirely unaffected. As the enemy brandished the lightsaber at him, he swung the Sinful Greatsword with sweeping force, gripping his palm to summon a pale gold Thunder Spear, then launched it directly at the target.
Rumble!
The sudden crash of thunder drowned out the gunfire within the underground base, crackling with wild electric snakes; in an instant, many of the light sources in the underground base dimmed.
