Chapter 1190: Chapter 645, The Phoenix’s Destiny

“Hello, Battle Group Leader Su Lie.”

When Su Lie heard this greeting, he suddenly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a man dressed in a uniform of gold and red.

He recognized that face.

It was the commander of the Empire’s Southern Line during the Iron Armor War, Marshal Gu Hang.

Though it had been a long time since, he still remembered. Although they had never met in person, Su Lie had indeed seen photos of Gu Hang.

He sighed and said to Gu Hang, “Are you really out of other options? Have you resorted to this sort of thing that has nothing to do with me to try?”

As he spoke, he picked up the sword by his side.

It was a Fine Work Dynamo Sword, its purple-gold color unfaded by millennia of frost and winds. At the pommel was a soaring Phoenix, the first inheritor of the Battle Group’s gene, the first Phoenix, the Emperor’s own offspring, and a jewel crafted with his own hands. This was a long-held treasure of the Phoenix lineage, an undisputed Holy Artifact of the Battle Group, simply called the ’Phoenix.’

“Deceiving me with lies, I can see through it.”

“Deceiving me with illusions of battle brothers, I can still see through it.”

“Even if you transform into the image of the Divine Emperor to beguile me, it will not shake my resolve.”

“Let alone your current form.”

As these words were spoken, Su Lie’s pace quickened, the Phoenix in his hand raised high, and a fierce purple flame surged from the sword’s edge, slashing fiercely towards Gu Hang.

In the next moment, Gu Hang’s figure shattered like an illusion, appearing behind Su Lie.

As if prophetic, he swung his sword backwards.

Even with a seemingly thirty-meter distance, the phantom blade of purple fire, like a sword aura, instantly reached Gu Hang’s chest.

This strike indeed caught one off guard.

Gu Hang’s spiritual energy violently released, forming a psionic sphere, clashing with this ’sword aura.’

For a while, even Gu Hang’s complexion changed.

He initially thought that the so-called sword aura was merely a special ability of Su Lie’s weapon, capable of releasing energy strikes.

But it seemed that was not the case. Its intensity was as powerful as a full-force strike from an S+-level Psychic!

Spiritual energy is the extraordinary force of emotion and soul. From this sword aura, Gu Hang could even sense Su Lie’s unwavering determination and mind.

This strike, naturally, could not harm Gu Hang. However, though currently in Subspace, they were quite distant from Gu Hang’s power source—the Storm God Kingdom. The power being unable to transmit meant Gu Hang was not at peak strength. Even if Gu Hang could withstand Su Lie’s strike, it was far from comfortable.

With difficulty, scattering it away, in a blink of an eye, Su Lie was already in front of him, the Phoenix Blade in his hand slashing down with brilliant flames.

“Wait!… “

Gu Hang shouted while resisting with spiritual power.

Finally experiencing firsthand the combat power of a top-level Interstellar Warrior.

In his previous concept, Matins and the former Battle Group Leader Erso of Furyflame were the most top-tier he had seen in combat. However, in front of Su Lie, those two were inadequate, with significant differences.

Battle Group Champion?

Perhaps this title no longer suffices to describe Su Lie.

Moreover, facing such a top-tier warrior, Gu Hang had a sense that when his spiritual energy was applied to him, it would be countered by another spiritual force.

This was very unusual.

Gu Hang could confirm that Su Lie did not possess any spiritual energy powers; he should be a pure warrior. However, beyond his incredible physical strength that exceeded ordinary humans and even Interstellar Warriors, top warriors like Su Lie also possessed terrifying mental will.

The role of mental will is not only that they are not defeated by difficulties. One cannot overlook that in this universe, mental will itself is inherently powerful.

Their strong, tenacious spirit naturally comes with a formidable psionic potential.

This is why if Interstellar Warriors are trained to become Psychics, or so-called ’Think Tanks,’ they often become more powerful than mortal Psychics.

Even if they do not become Think Tanks, or are said to lack ’psionic talent,’ the strong willpower of Interstellar Warriors grants them substantial psionic resistance.

In ordinary Interstellar Warriors, this might not be very obvious, but once one reaches the level of a veteran, it becomes a bit different. The psionic force that can crush ordinary mortals might only be a strong shockwave on a veteran Interstellar Warrior.

And for a Sergeant, Sergeant Major level, it would take the kind of power that can crush a Lion Tank to psionically kill a Sergeant.

Reaching the rank of Company Champion, it becomes even more difficult.

By the level of a Battle Group Champion… regular spiritual energy becomes almost ineffective against them. Even for Gu Hang, dealing with a Battle Group Champion in one-on-one requires significant effort—of course, effort, not impossibility.

But when strength reaches another height, like with Su Lie’s so-called ’Emperor Champion’ level, even Gu Hang finds it difficult to control him with spiritual energy.

Especially since he currently cannot borrow the power of the Storm God Kingdom.

Previously, Gu Hang was not only resisting the sword aura slashed by Su Lie but also trying to use spiritual energy to create a force field, attempting to bind Su Lie for some proper communication between the two of them.
