The bright light faded as quickly as it had appeared, but what appeared before Khayon's eyes was not the scene of destruction he had expected.
On the contrary, this was the scene he least wanted to see.
I saw Soshyan holding the short witchcraft spear in the air with his free left hand, the tip of the spear only a few inches away from his eyepiece.
"Then he didn't tell you not to play any witchcraft tricks in front of me."
After saying that, he made a strong force with his palm and directly broke the short spear from the middle. At that moment, the corners of Qianzi's eyes twitched slightly, and he cursed Huron and all his immediate family members in his heart.
At this time, Soshyan was only twenty or thirty meters away from Kayan. Kayon could already clearly feel that the flow of ether around him had dissipated. This sign can only mean one thing -
"You are untouchable!"
As a figure from the Great Crusade era, Khayon had seen and heard much more than ordinary Astartes, but even so, he had never heard of an untouchable being able to become an Astartes.
Some people have had such fantastic ideas, but so far, Kayon has not seen any successful examples.
The Astartes' method of combating psychic energy is basically to use psychic energy against psychic energy.
But if there are really untouchables who become Astartes, then it is no surprise that, coupled with the superhuman physical strength, it will be an absolute nightmare for all psykers.
Khayon had fought against the Sisters of Silence on Prospero, and he knew the consequences of using psychic powers near the realm of the Untouchables.
So by this time, he doesn't have many options to choose from.
"It's too early to tell the outcome!"
Khayon peeled off the arm armor of his left hand, revealing the shining golden metal prosthetic leg underneath.
These are the limbs he transformed after losing his mentor, wrapped in shining gold, with the original cuneiform etched on them engraved with a curse for the disobedient act of forcing the Primarch Magnus to kneel.
There were still Kayon's fingerprints on the palms and fingers, but there was a slitted biochemical eye inlaid on the back of the hand, made of gold eyelids and glass filled with blood.
At the same time, there are mutated ivory spurs on the joints, which curve like vicious spines.
Khayon used them to kill people, more than once.
Then, he took off his helmet and threw it aside.
Then Qianzi pressed his golden fingers with sharp claws to his forehead and carved a symbol consisting of a triangle and a circle.
Then, he clenched the battle ax in his hand, drew out a sharp sword, and stepped forward to face Soshyan, who was already close in front of him.
At the same time, Thor, not far behind him, suddenly turned around and drew a sword.
Something pounced on Thor from the shadows.
It was a Prospero lynx, which had become extinct with the destruction of the Thousand Sons' home world.
Before their extinction, compared to other cats, they were more similar to the extinct ancient Terra tigers, or the saber-tooth tigers with scimitar-like teeth: full of muscles, full of strength, and covered with spots and stripes to warn off other prey.
By.
However, its size is enough to eclipse those ancient beasts-the huge head is armed with long tusks like spear points, and its height is enough to reach the height of the breastplate of a Legionnaires Astartes.
This is the beast leaping out of the shadows.
First there were claws, and then a whole giant beast rushed out of the shadows, leaping towards Thor's head with an almost impossible agility.
This was Kayon's plan. He took a gamble that he would never be blocked by two untouchables.
Obviously, he made the right bet.
Nagua will be able to contain or even destroy the swordsman.
Although it looks like a lynx, its essence is a pure devil.
This giant beast has neither blood nor flesh, its fur is closer to smoke, its claws are as long as daggers, made of lava-solidified glass, and its eyes are burning with white flames.
When it struck, so did Khayon.
He swung the battle ax directly towards the spear thrust out by Soshyan, and sparks of electricity erupted from the collision between the two weapons.
Then the huge force directly knocked Kayan back several steps, while Soshyan did not move at all.
"Very good, this is the decision a warrior should make. For this reason, you have retained the last bit of dignity."
"Bah! Put away that hypocritical face, kid! I've killed more Imperials than you've eaten energy bars."
As soon as Kayon finished speaking, the strange spear stabbed directly at him. He barely managed to avoid it by tilting his head and used his battle ax to block it.
But the opponent's strength was so amazing that his battle ax flew away!
After taking two steps back in embarrassment, Kayan changed his pace, turned to Soshyan's right side, and swept his sword straight to the opponent's chest.
But as soon as he swung it halfway, he was deflected by the spear. Then Soshiyang turned his arm violently, and the tail of the spear hit Kayon's shoulder, knocking him back against the wall.
Boom!
The next second that Kayon pressed against the wall, he suddenly dodged to one side, and at the same time, the soul spear also penetrated the wall hard, and the entire spearhead was not penetrated.
After realizing that it was difficult to deal with him in the middle distance, Kayon took advantage of Soshyan's opportunity to draw out his spear and rushed forward. He repeatedly waved the sharp sword carrying witchcraft energy in an attempt to trap the opponent's offensive.
The Thousand Sons have never been known for their martial prowess, and are often seen as relying too much on their psychic talents to win wars.
There may be some truth to these accusations, but each of them was as skilled as their cousins in other legions, even before Horus launched his Heresy and plunged everything into bloody battles.
While many Legionnaires fight by instinct and repetitive training, the Thousand Sons study combat in a scholarly manner, discovering meditative forms from philosophical martial arts schools and combining them with techniques of mental concentration.
Maintaining balance, action and reaction, how to guide the opponent to expose the flaws in his martial arts, how to avoid the opponent's various temptations - all aspects such as these are deeply engraved in the minds of the Thousand Sons warriors during Tizka's years of training and the subsequent fighting career.
in consciousness.
When facing more ferocious or rigorously trained opponents, this unique martial arts principle is enough to offset the disadvantage.
It is precisely because of this that Kayon can remain calm in the face of Soshyan's fierce attack - at least on the surface.
But under the fast and fierce attack of an untouchable person, he could only maintain his battle meditation.
It's also because he is powerful enough. If it were a psyker, he would probably be lying down by now.
Even Soshyan was surprised by the opponent's tenacity.
"He is worthy of being the number three figure in the Black Legion! Abaddon's chief warlock! But in my case——"
But as Khayon's offensive failed, Soshyan immediately found an opportunity and swept his spear across, creating an arc of death and forcing Khayon back.
"You can still only fail!"
The battle once again entered Soshyan's rhythm.
As the soul spear flew forward, it was as fast as thunder, and it was killing him with every move, and it made Kayon miserable.
【Owner】
Suddenly, the demon lynx Nagua sent a message.
This message is not real words, but ripples of spiritual consciousness, yet this lynx is still fighting alone.
Although Thor did not have the power to counter psionic energy, his sword skills were enough to deal with this demon. The chaotic shadow of the sword enveloped the giant beast, and the body shrouded in smoke burned and then disappeared.
【Cannot defeat alone】
While sending the message, Nagua condensed his body again and jumped out from behind Thor. The moment the opponent reacted, he used his sharp claws to draw a line of sparks on the shoulder armor.
