Chapter 823, Part 1: The Power Subjugation Association
Chapter 823 One Force Overcomes Ten Techniques
Kalevala, a village in Lapland.
At this moment, in the middle of the road at the village entrance, three women from different races were engaged in a fierce battle, leaping and tumbling. Three different colored lightsabers—green, purple, and red—were constantly thrusting, sweeping, slashing, parrying, and blocking… Their movements were so fast, the beams of light swung so quickly, that to an ordinary person's retinas, only a series of continuous afterimages of light remained.
The lightsaber made a subtle "humming" sound when it was running, the staff made a "whooshing" sound when it cut through the air, the sharp, piercing sound and sparks when the blades collided, and the purple arcs of electricity that kept crackling around the two ends of the metal staff.
The electric staff is one of the few melee weapons that can block lightsabers, but only the part that emits the electric arc. The high-energy electric arc repels the plasma circulation field, so it is often used as a weapon specifically to counter lightsabers. The electric staff is not very effective against flesh and does not have armor-piercing capabilities, and it is more often used as a riot control weapon within the Imperial army.
Two Jedi Knights charged at the Imperial Inquisitor from the left and right. It's said that two fists can't fight four hands, yet the two women clearly felt immense pressure facing this four-armed Kodrugi. Her movements were incredibly coordinated; her two lightsabers and electric staff easily deflected their attacks, even turning the tables and suppressing them.
How could they lose in a two-on-one situation?
The two women suddenly became a little anxious.
They were not unfamiliar with fighting Imperial Inquisitors; they had even killed more than one, including the sixth brother the woman in black had mentioned, Bill Warren. However, the strength of the female Inquisitor before them far exceeded their expectations.
Wei Ran gripped the sword with both hands and forcefully deflected the red lightsaber, seizing the opportunity to slash the black metal staff of the electric cannon.
"Zizi..."
The blade did not provide any resistance feedback when it cut and melted; instead, it extinguished the moment it touched the metal staff.
Lightsaber short-circuited? Cortosis Metal!
Wei Ran was startled when she realized what was happening. The female referee smiled coldly and swung her electric cannons at her with both hands, smashing them down hard. Wei Ran instinctively twisted to dodge, but was still hit on the arm by the end of the long cannon surrounded by purple electric arcs. The high-energy electric arcs quickly spread throughout her body.
"what!"
The excruciating pain of being electrocuted suddenly struck Wei Ran, who couldn't help but scream in agony. A strong numbing sensation spread to half of her body. She staggered back two steps, supporting herself on her arm, before finally regaining her balance. She hurriedly switched the lightsaber to her other hand and relit it.
As Wei Ran was pushed back, Qinia quickly stepped in to block the referee. The two of them were already struggling in a two-on-one situation, and Qinia was even more overwhelmed by the referee's relentless attacks from two lightsabers and a double-headed electric staff. She could only parry and defend, unable to launch a counterattack, and her defense quickly showed weaknesses.
"hiss!"
Zinya let out a painful hiss as the tip of the opponent's lightsaber grazed her outer thigh, leaving a charred, sunken scar on her skin. Blood was still seeping from the gaps in the carbonized flesh, making her movements increasingly unnatural.
Wei Ran clenched her five fingers into a claw and swung them forward forcefully. With her movement, the wrecked Swift Flying Motorcycle behind her flew into the air and spun rapidly, crashing into the referee.
The female referee reacted just as quickly, freeing one hand to deflect the flying motorcycle that was hurtling towards her, instantly changing its direction and sending it crashing into the ground beside her and rolling several times.
Because of the Force Resistance ability, Force-sensitive individuals usually don't use Force Push or Force Grab on another Force-sensitive individual directly, as this is often ineffective. However, if you use Force Grab to smash a heavy object into the other person, Force Resistance won't work.
The effects of using Force abilities on ordinary people and those with superhuman strength are drastically different. For example, Darth Vader often used the Force chokehold on those who disobeyed or angered him, but he almost never used this Force ability on other Jedi Knights. The reason is simple—ordinary people cannot use the Force to resist.
Wei Ran repeated the action, grabbing another Swift Flying Motorbike from a distance and slamming it at the female judge, forcing her to stop and use the Force to push and slap away the spinning motorcycle. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Ran stepped forward, pulled up the injured Zinya, and whispered:
"go!"
If they couldn't win, they would run. The two of them helped each other up and turned to run out of the village. Instead of running along the road, they ran along the hillside outside the village towards the small mountain, hoping to use the vegetation and complex terrain in the mountains to get rid of the enemy.
"Humph."
Seeing this, the female referee snorted coldly. She extinguished the electric arcs swirling around the double-headed electric staff, then slung the metal rod behind her back. The buckle on the back automatically locked the staff in place. The female referee then gripped her two lightsabers and quickly chased after the man.
Wei Ran and Qi Niya ran up the hillside and then plunged into the woods. The two women, who had cultivated their Origin Force for years, were agile and nimble, easily leaping over ravines three or four meters wide and large thickets of bushes. However, a hundred or two meters behind them, the figure of the woman in black robes remained elusive among the trees, relentlessly pursuing them.
When she had a moment, Zinia used her Force healing abilities to seal the bleeding wound on her thigh. She turned to Wei Ran and asked:
"Split up and escape?"
"No."
Wei Ran shook her head and resolutely refused, saying:
"The two of us combined can't beat her. If we split up and run away, one of us will inevitably be caught and die."
Wei Ran jumped into the rushing mountain stream. The icy water reached above her calves. She pulled a miniature communicator from her pocket, glanced at it, and said with a hint of relief:
"Thankfully, there's still a supersonic signal here..."
Although the signal was already very weak.
…………
Mandalorian, an Imperial military base.
Fu Qinghai sat in his office with his legs crossed.
The holographic projection slowly rotated, and Fu Qinghai was reviewing the progress of the construction of the secret base on Harmony Star.
Suddenly, his pocket vibrated. Fu Qinghai reached in and pulled out a miniature communicator.
The screen displays only one simple sentence:
"help me!"
From: Pretty female lizardman.
"Pretty female lizard woman" is Fu Qinghai's nickname for Wei Ran, while his nickname for Qi Niya is "pink slut".
The screen then refreshed.
A set of detailed location coordinates appeared.
Fu Qinghai entered the first two digits of the location coordinates into the navigation system in the terminal, which showed that he was located in Kalevala.
"Tsk."
Fu Qinghai straightened up and put his legs back down.
The two women must be in trouble.
Fu Qinghai opened the drawer of his desk. His Dragon Sword lay quietly inside. He grabbed the Light Stick, stuffed it into a cloth bag, and tied the bag tightly. Fu Qinghai then turned to look at the huge all-metal suitcase in the corner of the office.
Do I need to wear power armor?
Fu Qinghai thought about it seriously for a moment.
Well... the power armor style of Warhammer 40K is still too unique. The Blue Shell power armor has undergone multiple upgrades and modifications, but it still retains a lot of design elements of Space Marine power armor, which will make people make associations.
"Prepare a shuttle for me."
Fu Qinghai left the office and said to Roxie.
Fu Qinghai ultimately carried his all-metal suitcase into the shuttle's cabin. He didn't intend to wear the power armor; this was just a precaution. He didn't know what kind of enemy he would be facing; there were too many variables among the Reincarnators.
…………
Kalevala, a stretch of rolling forest.
The surging air currents blew up all the fallen leaves in the forest, and the leaves and branches swayed. A white Lambda-class shuttle slowly landed in the clearing in the forest.
Before stepping out of the cockpit, Fu Qinghai ordered the Azure Shell Power Armor to fire a Pym Ray at him, transforming him back into his original physique—a 2.7-meter-tall muscular giant. After a quick disguise, Fu Qinghai ordered the power armor to remain in place to protect the shuttle, while he grabbed the Dragon Sword and went outside.
Standing in this desolate wilderness, Fu Qinghai turned his head and looked around at the sparse trees and withered branches and leaves.
He had arrived at the coordinates Wei Ran had given him, but he had not seen any trace of the two women.
Fu Qinghai took out his miniature communicator and glanced at it; the ultrasonic signal remained weak and intermittent.
Fu Qinghai was not surprised by the situation. He had been trying to contact the two people ever since he received the distress signal, but had not received any response. Fu Qinghai put away the miniature communicator, waved his hand to catch a gust of wind, closed his eyes, and put his palm under his nose to sniff carefully.
Force senses, quietly activated!
A moment later, he opened his eyes.
"Three people? They couldn't win against two against one?"
Fu Qinghai muttered to himself with some doubt.
Besides the scents of the two women, he also smelled the unfamiliar scent of a third person. He wasn't quite sure what had happened, but his sharp gaze had already locked onto a certain direction.
……
At this moment, inside a huge sinkhole.
Wei Ran and Qi Niya hid behind the stalactites.
"Did you shake them off?"
"Zinya said in a low voice."
"I do not know."
Wei Ran shook her head and answered softly.
As soon as they finished speaking, both of them caught a sound of something cutting through the air. They reacted quickly and immediately jumped back. A huge rock came hurtling towards them and smashed into the stalactite pillar in front of them, shattering it and scattering it all over the ground.
The two Jedi Knights looked up ahead.
The woman in black robes and a black hat reappeared.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"
Four lightsabers of different colors lit up simultaneously.
And there was that familiar crackling sound of the stun gun.
"Run and run, but where can you run to?"
The female referee spoke in a low, melancholic tone:
"In the end, won't you still die by my sword?"
"Hmph, we haven't won yet, so stop talking nonsense."
Wei Ran casually flicked his sword, then gripped his lightsaber and slowly assumed the second starting stance, letting out a cold snort.
Zinya stood next to her in the sixth stance, but in reality, she was already considering the purple ring on her chest.
A fierce battle is about to begin again.
"thump!"
A splash of water echoed from the sinkhole cave.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and saw a muscular giant standing in a pool of water in the center of the cave. He was estimated to be over two and a half meters tall. His simple and close-fitting clothes outlined his exaggerated muscle lines. Half of his face was covered with a mask, and he held a giant, bright blue lightsaber that matched his size.
This is... Qingshan?
Wei Ran and Qi Niya looked the person up and down, trying to confirm. The person in front of them had a familiar demeanor, but their figure made them feel unfamiliar. However, they were both smart enough not to ask.
And who is this?
The female referee slowly turned to the side.
"The person who killed you."
Fu Qinghai said in a hoarse voice, trying to keep his voice down.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of water erupted from the pool, splashing everywhere. Without wasting any more words, Fu Qinghai leaped up, sword in hand, and charged toward the female referee, his speed creating a violent gust of wind that swept towards her.
Faced with the towering, muscular giant charging towards her like a high-speed train, the female referee felt a strange sense of dread. Instead of confronting it head-on, she took a step to the side and rear, raising her lightsaber to parry, intending to avoid the relentless charge before looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Zicha!"
The point where the red and blue lightsabers clashed emitted a dazzling light and a piercing sound. The red lightsaber in the female referee's hand instantly flew out of her grasp, spinning, before she felt a sudden, tearing pain in her palm.
After the muscular giant knocked the lightsaber out of her hand with a single blow, he followed up with another powerful slash aimed at her head.
Despite the excruciating pain of her ligaments and flesh being torn, the female judge quickly raised another lightsaber to try and parry again. When the two lightsabers collided, the woman in black heard the crisp sound of her shoulder dislocating and her elbow cracking.
The female referee knelt down on one knee with a thud, barely managing to raise her double-headed stun gun with both hands to try and defend herself against the subsequent attack.
The muscular giant kicked out, and the electric staff that the female referee was holding tightly in both hands was kicked in half. The woman in the black robe flew backward along with the staff, her hat was blown off and fell away, and the electric arcs that circled the two ends of the staff were extinguished.
"Slap! Slap! Slap... Ugh!"
The female judge crashed into three stalactite pillars, breaking them in succession, before finally stopping. She lay in a puddle, barely alive, her bright red blood slowly spreading in the water beneath her.
The two women standing nearby stared in disbelief.
Two slashes and a kick, a total of only three attacks, were enough to knock the woman in black robes down. The female referee was on the defensive the whole time and had no chance to counterattack.
Fu Qinghai was about to step forward and finish her off completely.
"Clap!"
A figure fell from the sky.
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the scene.
Wei Ran and Qinia also turned to look at the newcomer.
He was a thin, young man with an Asian face, wearing a pure black reinforced synthetic leather jacket. The fabric, like the female judge's top, had a cold, hard, metallic matte sheen, exuding a strange smoothness within its toughness. A high, stiff collar stood up, like some kind of armor, tightly gripping his neck.
This must be another Imperial Inquisitor.
Fu Qinghai, Wei Ran, and Qi Niya made their own judgments.
Somewhat strangely, the young man's exposed skin was as pale as paper, and even his hair and eyebrows were snow-white. Several white bandages were wrapped diagonally around his head, just covering his right eye.
What's even more eye-catching is the enormous umbrella the white-haired man carries on his back. The large metal umbrella is entirely matte black, with five relatively short ribs folded together. It has only ribs, no canopy, and it's unclear what kind of weapon it is.
The young man squatted on a boulder, scrutinizing Fu Qinghai with keen interest, and chuckled as he spoke:
"Ah, I've finally waited this long! My intuition was right! These two women aren't the primary target; they don't have the power. I bet you're the one who wiped out the entire Mandalorian family, aren't you?"
So, the female referee is used for swindling?
Fu Qinghai glanced at the black-robed woman he had beaten half to death and thought to himself, "You're quite the teammate. You might as well have come two or three seconds later and collected her corpse."
So their real purpose was to lure out Qingshan?
Upon hearing this, Wei Ran and Qi Niya both felt a chill run down their spines: they couldn't even defeat one female referee, let alone the mysterious white-haired young man... The outcome was unimaginable...
Fu Qinghai remained silent and did not answer his question.
The white-haired young man suddenly felt a little bored.
"Fine, fine, since you don't like talking."
He stood up from his squatting position, took down the large metal umbrella from behind him, and opened all the ribs with both hands.
At the same time, the white-haired man made no attempt to hide anything, raising his hand to lift the bandage covering his right eye.
His eyes opened, revealing a blood-red pupil and three black tomoe swirling around it.
Sharingan? That's interesting.
Fu Qinghai's expression immediately turned serious.
"Buzzing..."
The white-haired man held a large metal umbrella, with a straight red beam of light extending from the end of each rib.
Lightsaber umbrella? That's so over-the-top!
Fu Qinghai and the two women were both taken aback.
