Of course, with Jiang Li's current amount of magic power, it is actually impossible to achieve that level of speed.
Some people may misunderstand that the ability of (absolute speed) is equivalent to (absolute first arrival), but in fact this is not the case.
The essence of absolute speed is to make oneself absolutely faster than the opponent.
But a little faster is faster, and several times faster is faster. Isn't it still faster if it's as fast as the speed of light?
Let's say the opponent's speed is 10.
If Jiang Li sets his speed to 10.1, he is already faster than the opponent, but there is no way that his attack will hit the opponent first.
But if Jiang Li sets his speed to 100, he is also faster than the opponent. Let alone hitting the opponent first, he may have completely exceeded the opponent's reaction limit. Before he can react, he will have been slashed by him.
bingo.
Therefore, absolute speed and absolute difference equals absolute first arrival.
The degree of speed increase that can be given to oneself or objects by activating the ability of absolute speed depends on Jiang Li's own magic power.
——In other words, the more magic power he has, the faster he can get it and the longer he can maintain his speed.
With his current F-level magic power, even if he poured all his magic power into one sword, the maximum speed he could achieve in an instant would only exceed the speed of sound.
And even if it was only increased to the speed of sound, it would put a huge burden on his body and put him in a state of near-death in an instant.
If you want to move faster than light, you not only need a body or protective power that can move at the speed of light safely, but also a massive amount of magic power - but that kind of magic power is simply not available in this world of the fallen knight.
exist.
Therefore, the conclusion is that absolute speed can greatly increase the lower limit of his speed, but the upper limit of his speed depends on the amount of his magic power.
After several years of thinking and exploration, Jiang Li had already come up with many different ways to use his absolute speed ability. Among them, there was even a move with very weird side effects that made him feel extra free.
But in general, due to the limitation of scarce magic power and fragile body, it is difficult to achieve most of the moves.
As for the setting of the speed of light, there is no doubt that it is a restricted area that he must never touch in his life.
…………
In the open square.
Under Jiang Li's threats, which were both true and false, drops of sweat began to flow from his smiling face. Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun, he felt that his life was completely out of his control at this moment.
The surrounding terrorists also looked at each other, their faces under the masks becoming confused, not knowing how to react at this time.
"Haha...haha, do you think...I will believe your lies?"
Smile's throat became extremely dry, as if there was a fire burning in his throat. He did not dare to move randomly, so he could only make a tentative sound, staring at the beautiful young man opposite him.
"You can give it a try."
"..."
Does he dare to try?
How can it be!
The opponent's tone was so determined, his face was so cold, his eyes were so confident, and he had a record of beating the former No. 3 in the world, all of which made him afraid to try casually.
What if he dies after trying it? Who will accompany him in this life?
Fortunately, he still has means.
The reason why the other party is not taking action now is probably because they are worried about the hostages in their hands, so they dare not act rashly. As long as they use those hostages, they can still leave safely.
There is no hope of ransom, but some valuable treasures in the mall can be taken away and sold to earn funds for activities.
Kidnapping hostages for ransom is a common method of earning money (rebellion).
"...Actually, there is no reason for us to fight to the death. After all, even if you can kill me, it's hard for none of the hostages to die, right?"
Smiling, he barely controlled the muscles on his face to show a stiff smile.
"I understand, let's each take a step back. We will evacuate from here, and the hostages will--"
A few of the hostages were taken away and released after they had almost retreated.
That's what he originally wanted to say.
"——Water Lotus!"
But suddenly, a crisp sound of water waves swaying suddenly sounded.
At the same time, a clear stream of water rolled up from the ground and turned into a countercurrent waterfall, enveloping the group of about fifty hostages without leaving a single flaw, just like a water lotus.
"Are there other Swordsmen!?"
The smile made his eyes pop.
"shot!!"
With almost no hesitation, he gave the order to his men to fire.
The only thing he can rely on are the hostages. As long as he still holds the lives of the hostages in his hands, he can still live.
But now that the hostages are protected, the other party has lost their worries.
“Da da da da da—!”
In an instant, gunshots could be heard.
The flaming muzzle kept firing bullets one after another, some aimed at the hostages wrapped in the water waves, and some aimed at Jiang Li——
When the soldiers thought this, they realized that Jiang Li had disappeared.
No, it didn't disappear.
Before Shizuku Kurogane's voice sounded, he seemed to have anticipated the opportunity for the situation to change. He took a deep breath and supplied a huge amount of oxygen to his heart and lungs, greatly increasing the function of his heart and lungs.
This is an application of ancient breathing method.
All swordsmen have extremely powerful control over their bodies. This control allows the swordsman to actively control the beating amplitude of his heart.
Slowing down the heart rate can slow down physical exertion, and increasing cardiopulmonary function can enhance physical explosiveness.
This is a small skill that Jiang Li learned from Dou Shen. It is useless for a swordsman of Dou Shen level, but for an ordinary person like him with physical fitness, it is an extremely sharp skill.
Before Black Iron Pearl Shizuku issued a warning, Jiang Li intuitively sensed the best opportunity to attack, and using this technique, he lowered his body like a cheetah and ran out quickly.
Before the soldiers could react, none of the bullets hit him.
But it was only a matter of time before he could react to more than a dozen assault rifles with an astonishing rate of fire. At his speed, even if he used the breathing method to explode his physical energy, he would not be able to survive under the encirclement of more than a dozen assault rifles.
It is true that if he uses lightning and flint, he can not only escape from more than a dozen assault rifles, but also defeat Xiaoxiao instantly. However, without a regeneration chamber around him, Jiang Li must not let himself fall into a near-death situation.
——But, there is such a way to use it with absolute speed!
Jiang Li threw the assault rifle he was holding behind him.
At the same time, he exhausted all the magic power in his body and gave the thrown assault rifle the maximum initial velocity.
"Boom——!"
An extremely violent roar came out, and layers of smoke rings superimposed on each other.
The assault rifle that was thrown out instantly gained a speed far exceeding the speed of sound, making a deafening sonic boom and forming a violent storm in the entire open-air square!
