Chapter 2544 "Flying Sword"

Ireland lashed out with the baton he had just snatched, venting the pent-up pain from his earlier struggles. Then, with a murderous intent and an air of confidence, he looked at Gao Yuan before him—

At this moment, there is only one person left to deal with.

Without Xiaolan's intervention, and considering that the other party initially had to rely on weapons to fight him, it seems the other party's skills are quite impressive...

Limited!

Thus, with the enemy's weapon now in their hands, the situation reversed.

Therefore, Ireland did not delay at all and swung his baton directly at Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan clearly did not dare to directly confront Ireland's offensive. After his baton was taken away and after seeing Xiao Lan being knocked back by the opponent's full-force attack, Gao Yuan had already focused all his attention on the opponent. As soon as he saw the opponent make a move, he immediately avoided the opponent's attack and retreated while fighting.

But for Ireland, this move was undoubtedly a great relief.

If he had to take Ran's karate seriously, since she was quite skilled, then facing Kou Yuan without a weapon would be no more difficult than dealing with Shinichi Kudo.

After Shinichi Kudo's tranquilizer dart missed its mark, the high school detective, now without any follow-up measures, became far too easy to deal with, especially this Akechi Takato…

Regardless of how much the other party actually knew or where they learned their swordsmanship, the fact that they had lost their weapon meant they were clearly powerless to resist, which made Ireland underestimate them.

Although the other party didn't intend to surrender easily, and was indeed slightly more troublesome than Shinichi Kudo, but...

It won't be long.

Thinking this way, while Ireland continued to attack in an attempt to take down Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan did not seem powerless and appeared to still have room to fight back.

Thus, seemingly noticing Gao Yuan's relaxed demeanor, Ireland's initially somewhat relaxed state of mind inevitably turned somewhat somber.

What exactly does the other party have to rely on to remain so composed?

For Gao Yuan, who was fighting and retreating, the current situation was not unexpected. After all, Gao Yuan had never underestimated Ireland's strength and did not think he could gain the upper hand in a direct confrontation without using "force".

However, for Gao Yuan, who had already planned for this moment, the trump card of "power" could not be used lightly. Leaving aside whether using "power" could stabilize the situation, the side effects of "power" were something he could not accept at this moment.

The entire operation didn't end with the subjugation of Ireland; there were still follow-ups to deal with. Therefore, resorting to force to gain temporary advantage at this point would leave him exhausted and unable to control the situation. Thus, when facing Ireland, he couldn't reveal his full strength, yet he needed to maintain control within reasonable limits. When that time came, all he could do was…

Gao Yuan swung his right hand, a move that Ireland found completely incomprehensible. Even though Ireland didn't know what Gao Yuan was up to, he couldn't help but become wary. Then, at that moment, his keen senses alerted him to something amiss: the baton that had been swinging towards Gao Yuan suddenly swung back at him—

As a result, Ireland saw something flying towards him from behind, but with his backhand slash, the thing quickly and nimbly changed its flight path, soaring upwards briefly before diving back down.

Immediately, Ireland, looking astonished, didn't know what this thing was, but he could tell that it was obviously a result of Gao Yuan's actions earlier. Therefore, he dared not be negligent. Ireland stared at the trajectory of the object with a solemn expression, swinging his baton several times to deal with the object's rapid change of direction as it charged towards him.

Thus, after several maneuvers, Ireland's defense became impenetrable. Seeing that the inexplicable creature's attacks had failed repeatedly, Gao Yuan made a swift judgment, flicking his right hand backward. The creature that had been harassing Ireland suddenly turned and flew towards Gao Yuan—

Ireland watched the object's flight path and finally saw it fly behind Gao Yuan. In the blink of an eye, the object was in Gao Yuan's hand. With a forceful flick, a soft iron plate more than a meter long extended out, looking like a soft sword, and was held in Gao Yuan's hand.

This item is clearly one of Gao Yuan's trump cards.

This is a small, specially designed quadcopter drone. As the drone flew back behind Gao Yuan following his hand gestures, its four wings, grouped in pairs, rotated to either side. This transformed the originally stable four wings into handguards at both ends of the drone's core shaft. Then, with a forceful flick from Gao Yuan, the soft metal plate that had been coiled inside the fuselage extended outwards, transforming it into a soft sword.

The drone "Flying Sword" was inspired by a video I had seen before. After Gao Yuan established a company in a neighboring country, he combined his own improved ideas and finally completed the production of this special drone. After making manual improvements over the past two days, it has achieved such performance.

Compared to the baton he used earlier, the special weapon Gao Yuan is now holding is actually sharpened.

"A flying sword?"

Clearly, Ireland's mood was extremely heavy at the sight of this thing's sudden change. After all, this thing had just been flying around and harassing him, but after a few incomprehensible waves of his hand belonging to Gao Yuan, it returned to Gao Yuan's hand as if it were his own arm, turning into a sword. Ireland had no idea about its manifestation or principle, only that everything was mysterious and unpredictable. His fear of Gao Yuan deepened considerably, and he asked this question.

Gao Yuan did not respond to Ireland's question. Instead, he swung his sword out, the soft sword in his hand moving like a snake emerging from its hole, its trajectory completely defying common rules, as it attacked Ireland.

Seeing this, Ireland could only swing his baton to defend, but unfortunately, the opponent's sword blade was more than twice the length of the baton. Even if Ireland blocked the opponent's sword strike, the flexible sword blade would still continue to swing backward with inertia. Combined with the sharpened blade, the killing power was no longer something Ireland could directly withstand by simply blocking the baton as before.

Therefore, after such a weapon, which was completely unpredictable to Ireland, fell into Gao Yuan's hands, the situation of the war changed completely, even—

As Ireland forced a few steps back to create distance from Gao Yuan, preparing to draw his gun, the sword slipped from Gao Yuan's hand. The "sword," which was already capable of flying, truly followed Gao Yuan's gestures and began to dance and attack Ireland… (End of Chapter)
