Chapter 45: Nine Yin Magic
"I'm going to go for it...this is too outrageous..."
Li Pan carefully unbuttoned his formal clothes, tore off his own molted skin, shook it off and took a look.
The skin was wrinkled and felt weird to the touch, inexplicably like a dumpling wrapper. It looked as if a hole had been opened from the top of the head, and then the whole person had popped out.
Not only did he shed his skin, Li Pan discovered that even the prosthetic body plug-in he had installed before was also shed. It seems that the third round of Jiuyin Refining also has the effect of resetting the filing cabinet. Not only does the whole body recover, but also the impurities and foreign matter in the body are removed. , were sent out of the body together.
But this is not bad, at least the prosthetic body plug-in is still there. I can go back to the filing cabinet and reset it to grow the skin. I can also put the prosthetic body back in and save two bucks.
As for the 'hairband' and the 'woman in red', they were completely missing. Probably, they were all blown up by that invisible palm and pressed into his body.
"Ouch, ouch, hiss, let me go, ouch..."
Not only would passers-by be frightened to death when they looked at the bloody appearance, but Li Pan himself couldn't bear it, so he endured the sting of skin friction and put on his formal clothes again. Then he rolled up his skin, put the prosthetic insert in his trouser pocket, and staggered out of the forest park.
There is no chip brain plug now, and there is no way to get in touch with Shiba and the others, but Li Pan still remembers the coordinates of Kotaro before, so he went in that direction for the round.
When walking out of the forest, Li Pan saw a large manor. It was obviously the mansion of some big chaebol, and he was probably the owner of this arbor forest. Just because the security system was offline and ECM electromagnetic interference, the turrets and drones in the manor were offline.
Li Pan went into the house to search, and found that the owner's family were all dead at the dining table. They were shot to death during dinner. His skull was ripped open without any precautions, and his brains were splashed into the soup basin. They were probably entertained. Guests, or trusted bodyguards around you.
It seems that this family is probably one of the main targets of Red Tengu Tenchu. Although the Red Tengu has left and all the people have been killed, and although Li Pan does not recognize those family emblems, judging from the luxury of the villa, the various luxury cars, and the machine employees, this family is at least the executive director of the board of directors. Level one.
It is estimated that the owner of the family is also a prince, otherwise the Red Tengu would not have arranged for a group of soldiers to stay behind with the ECM on after killing someone, trying to block the news and prevent the local subsystem from alarming, causing unintended consequences and attracting the other party's retainer guards.
As a good citizen of the Night City, he naturally couldn't sit idly by, so Li Pan ate all the leftovers on the table. The few first-class soldiers who were harvested were conveniently left with chips inserted into their brains as food money, and they also provided clues to the security bureau, which would cause some trouble for the Mandie Society.
Then he searched in the kitchen and warehouse, and ate all the frozen steaks in the freezer, finally feeling better in his stomach. But it's not enough, not nearly enough.
In fact, it is difficult for people nowadays to understand the feeling of hunger. After all, no matter how fucked up the world is, productivity has increased to a considerable extent. It may be a problem to eat well, but it is not difficult to eat enough. If you bring your own pots and bowls For a ladle, go to the relief station and buy industrially synthesized carbohydrate nutritional paste. You can buy a large one that weighs several dozen kilograms for just one yuan. You even save money on the packaging bags. You can even simply use a tube to suck the tank. It’s not a problem to eat until you’re exhausted.
But the problem is, in a wealthy community like Cheongju City, where can there be a food relief station like the one in the slums?
Now Li Pan felt like his stomach was grinding, as if his flesh and blood were all mixed together. He finally rummaged through the boxes and found several large bags of pet food.
The packaging looked like it was for cats. The ingredient list was all meat food with zero additives, which was much healthier than the carbohydrate nutritional paste with a bunch of preservatives added, so Li Pan didn't care about the fishy smell and grabbed it after unpacking it. chew.
While eating, Li Pan reached out his hand, touched his arms, and took out the "Nine Yin Manual".
Although he used to think that his fourth-level life form was pretty awesome, this time Li Pan came into contact with the bride. She was thrown on the bed and ridden with no resistance at all, and he also watched her being slapped by a more terrifying existence. Being beaten into a scumbag can be regarded as having a clearer positioning of his current strength, a somewhat thorough understanding, and a little bit of push.
What a shitty general manager, he is now a temporary worker, a blood bag, and a fucking scumbag...
He is giving you face, but what he cares about is the platform of the company, and the permissions given by the board of directors can be taken back by others at any time. If you don't have your own abilities, you can't even save your own life.
In fact, Li Pan understood this simple truth when he was in the military academy. It was just a sudden promotion and salary increase, which made him a little weak for a while, but now he was beaten by the cruel reality and he immediately woke up.
You have to be tough when it comes to blacksmithing, so upgrade, young man!
So during the meal, Li Pan couldn't let go of the scroll and began to read hard.
Looking back at the "Nine Yin Manual", in addition to the general outline of "Lianxing Pian", there are also four volumes of serious scriptures, which are respectively recorded as "Gong", "Dharma", "Jing" and "Shu".
According to the introduction of the general outline, after the third round of "Nine Yin Refining", you can practice the first volume of "Nine Yin Divine Skills". After that, the training reached the sixth round, and at the ninth round, they began to practice the "Nine Yin Dafa" and the "Nine Yin Manual" respectively. And when the "Lian Xing Chapter", "Gong", "Dharma" and "Jing" are all completed in the Nine Transformations, you can try the "Nine Clouds of Heaven".
Since the "True Sutra" is clearly written, Li Pan will naturally not be too ambitious. Now he will read the "Book of Heaven" and study the "Nine Yin Magic Skills" step by step according to the general outline. 》.
Although there were still some words that he didn't recognize and some sentences that he couldn't understand, with the foundation laid by "Lian Xing", Li Pan could understand it. This "Gong" is really for practicing martial arts. It is similar to a kind of advanced internal martial arts. It can cooperate with the Nine Yin Zhenqi cultivated in "Lianxing" to exercise the muscles and bones, beat the body and skin. In game terms, it increases the attack power and defense power. vitality.
Moreover, "Gong" has pictures, and those pictures can move on their own. This is not Li Pan who is dizzy with hunger, but the human figure on the scroll. He is clearly boxing and practicing while still having energy flow routes in his body. In constant operation. It's well illustrated and easy to understand.
Because he was taught two monkey tricks by a weirdo in green robes before, Li Pan can now get started by watching "Gong".
If "Nine Yin Refining Forms" starts with the simplest and most introductory breathing method, teaching you how to sit still and control the Qi and practice breathing, then "Gong" teaches you how to move, coordinate with specific breathing movements, and exercise energy. Use the Nine Yin True Qi to infuse the muscles and veins of the whole body and exert the original power of the Nine Yin shape.
The boxing technique taught by the coach of "Jiuyin Divine Skill" seems to be some kind of pictographic boxing, but naturally it is not imitating an ape, but a bit like snake boxing. Some of the moves are specious, but Li Pan has also seen the god of Zhongshan with his own eyes, and knows Zhu Jiuyin's From the appearance, it is naturally clear that this set of boxing techniques is probably simulating the movements of Zhu Yin's bones and muscles, and is supplemented with corresponding breathing techniques to assist in practice.
So Li Pan finished eating the cat food and quenched his hunger, so he tried to refer to the "Gong" diagram. While breathing and doing the exercises, he twisted his spine and waist, swaying left and right, sideways, He was staggering like a drunkard.
Not to mention, although he can also practice the Ape Boxing Technique, in comparison, the Jiuyin Divine Technique is more suitable for his current body.
After just a few steps of swimming like this, Li Pan felt clearly more obvious than the ape posture. His whole body was warm and dripping with blood and sweat. The massive amount of true energy accumulated in the Dantian under his navel was clearly quickly refined and turned into endless strength. The meridians all over the body are aroused, generating endless energy.
And with every step of swimming, Li Pan could feel the Nine Yin True Qi like an ups and downs tide, washing over his spine repeatedly and stimulating the nerve center. The sense of time seemed to slow down. When it was obvious that he was performing the exercises, his whole body Accelerating in this snake-like swing has some similarities to the neurotechnology that strengthens the spine.
Moreover, as I practice the exercises, the tight muscles and stiff joints are also stretched and relaxed in the continuous exercise. My whole body crackles and crackles, and it is very sour and refreshing. It is a bit like killing a horse and killing a chicken, but it is quite comfortable.
So Li Pan silently recited the mental formula of "Snake moves like a fox, and attacks at the bottom. The body is as light as a swallow, and the skill is endless. It can be stretched to form a song, and it can be moved even if it is standing. The song is like a crouching tiger, and the stretch is like a soaring dragon." With his energy in motion like this, he swayed and swayed towards the coordinates of Kotaro and Rama, when he suddenly heard a burst of singing.
It’s really singing, although the whole city is buzzing, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging Todoroki was beaten into a ball.
But at the same time, someone was singing in unison, and the singing was so loud that it could be heard above the roar of gunfire and explosions throughout the city.
What kind of lunacy do you have, but you are still singing karaoke at this time? And this tune sounds so familiar... Could it be...
Li Pan was curious for a moment, so he looked for the song. In the distance, he saw another manor with a Japanese-style castle tower. The tower was burning, and the guards at the door were already there. The casualties were exhausted, and about a company of red tengu mutinous soldiers did not launch the final assault. They just drove the SMS modified with an ECM interference source to stand by, while the infantry lined up and sang around the burning castle tower.
Li Pan understood it all after only listening to two sentences: "The powerful only know how to be proud of their family status, but there are really few people who care about the country. The rich and powerful only know how to boast and accumulate wealth, but they don't even think about the country."
Well, it turned out to be the Butterfly Club again. Every time these NC psychopaths get together, they like to howl this funeral song on the playground when they get drunk. After howling, they either burst into tears or form a group to beat him to discourage him.
So Li Pan became excited when he heard this song. Does this allow you to survive?
After a brief glance, I saw this group of people gathered together, actually forming a procession of ceremonial guards, saluting in front of the burning castle? Looking at this queue, it seems that they are planning to fire a salute to the burning castle tower? ?
Well, it seems that these guys won too easily. After killing the traitors all night, they felt that they had won and were completely unguarded.
Then Li Pan was not polite.
So he threw himself on the ground and crawled on his hands and knees at a speed exceeding that of a human being. He was like a large reptile, twisting his waist and using his hands and feet together, and swooshed into the manor through the night, heading towards the outermost guard. The soldier pounced from behind, like a gecko, he jumped on the soldier's back, hugged the whole person, and exerted all his strength with his hands and feet. There was a cracking sound, and the soldier's muscles and bones were twisted, and his neck was twisted like a twist. , strangled him in his arms on the spot.
Then Li Pan didn't hesitate anymore. He took out two fragmentation grenades from the opponent's arms and threw them into the ranks of soldiers.
"...The rotten corpses stepped over, and this body was floating..."
"Boom!"
"Ahhh!"
"Enemy attack! Cover!"
"Da da da da da da!"
These people were all wearing SBS infantry protection. Tools, two grenades can't kill a few people, at most they can break a few legs and make them dizzy.
Li Pan took advantage of the chaos and rushed forward. While the infantrymen were spreading out in groups and setting up their lines in accordance with the drill rules, he blended into the crowd and moved towards a lone soldier at the end of the line. He came forward, raised his hand and threw it out with a whip fist, his five fingers turned into claws, and he dug out two eyeballs as if grabbing tofu, and tore off half of the dough in his hand along with the bridge of his nose.
"Ahhh——!"
"Da da da da da da!"
The soldier whose face was torn apart screamed and raked randomly with the assault rifle in his hand, knocking down three or four teammates on the spot and forcing all the soldiers to lie down and hide. .
People in other groups also didn’t know the truth, because there was strong ECM interference in the area, and a group of people were still gathered together. The team leaders could only shout to line up, hide, and calm down. As a result, some soldiers became nervous and raised their guns to fight back. They fired indiscriminately, killing the soldier whose face was torn apart and screamed.
But at this time, Li Pan had already rolled far away, and accelerated his sprint. While avoiding stray bullets, he rushed into the group of people on the other side, and shuttled through the queue, crouching like a cat. On the ground, they moved left and right among the SBS exoskeleton uniforms, shuttled back and forth, and pulled out all the grenade fuses from the soldiers' belts... "
Boom, boom, boom!"
"Down! Down!"
"Boom! "
Cover, cover!"
"Boom!"
There is no way, who makes mercenary grenades cheap, and when you actually know in advance that you will be in an environment with no system and no strong communication interference, carrying out infantry attacks and street fighting. The combat mission, of course, is to hang all kinds of grenades, rifle grenades, rocket launchers, infantry mines, and flamethrowers on the exoskeleton prosthetics to be prepared.
Of course, regular military grenades can be made to be triggered by fingerprint recognition, but these people who come out for breakfast and besiege the chaebol mansion are clearly not regular troops, okay?
"Ninja!"
"EMP!"
However, these people still have some experience. Although Li Pan made a surprise attack and killed at least two teams, someone quickly reacted and found that it was the 'Elite Ninja' who was accelerating the surprise attack. Face, immediately initiate response tactics.
"Boom!" A
blue electromagnetic aperture swept across the sky, and the exploding metal foil spread like snowflakes, scattering high-density M particles into the battlefield.
The use of EMP pulse bombs and M particle dispersion is also a typical method of warfare in the last generation.
It goes without saying that high-intensity EMP impacts can damage electromagnetic components. M particles are artificial elementary particles that are fused with particle accelerators and constraint stances. They can be used to make energy beam weapons, high-energy batteries, beam knives, and deflection stances. It can even be a little rough and spread out in the war zone to interfere with the opponent's particle weapons.
When SMS was able to steal the show, it was also inseparable from the background of the era when both warring parties used M-particles on a large scale to interfere with their positions. The laser cannon particle weapons were deflected by each other and could not be fired accurately at all. They could only engage in close-range material projectiles and artillery battles.
However, with the evolution of military technology and the iterative updates of gravity radar and fire control systems, current interstellar fleet battles basically fire at astronomical unit distances. Naturally, those magical weapons of the previous generation have gradually become obsolete, and have been reduced to being used against them now. 'Ninja' is really a cannon to swat mosquitoes.
But don't tell me, this set of combos may be really effective against highly cyborgs like ninjas. Limited by the ECM interference environment, the energy efficiency of most intelligent prostheses will be limited. In the state of startup overload, once a large EMP is hit, most of the prosthetic equipment may be blown and damaged, or at least have to shut down and restart.
As for ninjas, they generally do not carry as many weapons and ammunition as mercenaries. They are usually beam particle weapons based on M particles. However, in battlefield-level wide-area M particle dispersion fields, ninjas have the power of individual-level weapons. , probably so weakened that it cannot even penetrate or cut through military decks.
But this was of no use to Li Pan.
What a fool! I'm not wearing a prosthetic body! I don’t have a beam knife installed! Now I am tearing people apart with my bare hands!
"Where is he! Where is he!"
"Da da da!"
Li Pan's tactics are actually quite shy. He hides here and there and avoids everyone's sight by speeding up. He is afraid of being scratched by stray bullets and blends in with the crowd if he has the chance. Throw a grenade and scratch your face, but I'm too embarrassed to confront you head-on.
As a result, when he casually grabbed an infantryman who was walking outside, dragged his legs and feet in an attempt to drag him into the darkness, and punched the person in the neck, he accidentally tore off the person's thigh and exoskeleton. Didn't pull him over.
"Ah ah ah!"
"Target found!"
"Ta da da da!"
This time, Li Pan's face was too close and he didn't move immediately. Li Pan's stealth was finally seen through.
The dense rain of bullets immediately swept over him. Although Li Pan hurriedly avoided the concentrated fire, the stray bullets bounced off the deck and onto his suit, hitting him full in the chest!
But it turns out that the clothes cannot be worn at all!
Of course you can still feel the kinetic impact, but it doesn't hurt at all! Much easier to use than body armor!
Huh? He obviously fell from the sky just now and broke his arms and bones. Why is it that he is being randomly fired by light and heavy machine guns and nothing happened?
Then Li Pan suddenly discovered that his formal clothes seemed to be vaguely covered with a layer of gray mist. At first, he thought it was dust, but when he took a closer look, he found that the gray fog actually came from his own energy. The orifice bones, blood, flesh, and sebum radiated out, and passed through the clothes, blending with the formal clothes, like a layer of protective gauze, binding him.
Oh, this is probably what it’s called, the Nine Yin Magical Body Protection Technique, right?
So Li Pan discovered another obvious fact.
He has been upgraded.
With the third turn and magical power, bullets can't hit!
That's so scary!
Now I have extraordinary powers! Invincible in the world!
Amidst the gunfire and explosions one after another, Li Pan was possessed by the magical power, unleashed his strange power, and rushed towards the crowd like a beast! He grabbed the legs and feet and used his strength to overturn the heavily armed SBS soldiers, who weighed nearly a ton of equipment, like rag dolls. They tore their hands and feet after pulling them up, kicked their waists and shot their heads, then lifted them up and threw them into the sky. On the roof, in the crowd, or carrying it in the hand, it is used as a meteor hammer to randomly hit it.
"Bionic man! It's a bionic man!"
"Concentrate the fire! Concentrate the fire!"
But it was of no use letting the sergeants scream their throats.
The SBS infantry armor they use is mass-produced, with heavy load and protection, but no combat function at all. To Li Pan, they are just bulky meat cans that can be crushed in a handful, so what's there to be polite about? ?
So Li Pan rushed forward and killed everyone in the company.
