Chapter 524: Psionic Energy and the Force
In the face of Qiao Lu's obstruction, Darth Vader still behaved unhurriedly, walking up step by step with a sword in one hand, and the sound of seemingly laborious breathing was never disturbed.
Darth Vader's movements were as heavy and slow as the armor on his body, and his limbs were all modified mechanical prosthetics, more like a machine than a person.
However, this is the most feared villain of Star Wars, unable to move around as freely as he did when he was younger, but gaining more powerful Force and sword form, becoming a symbol of the Empire's despair like the Death Star.
Jolu swung his sword in both hands and slashed at him, the blue lightsaber leaving a hot scratch on the narrow hallway wall, and slashing at Darth Vader's head with a crack.
Darth Vader parried with only one hand, swinging his sword delicately and concisely, without the slightest superfluous movement.
"Sure enough, you won't be a Jedi knight sword of any kind."
Although Qiao Lu can imitate many of the Force's moves with psionic energy, including reflecting beams of blast energy, it is still easy to see the difference between his moves and styles in front of a true Force master, especially Darth Vader who has reached the top level on both the light and dark sides of the Force.
"So, what does it matter?"
Qiao Lu swung his sword again to attack, but was only blocked by Darth Vader again, and this time the lightsaber was even bounced away by Darth Vader's power, almost revealing a flaw and being blocked by the opponent's sword.
It can only be said that Qiao Lu's swordsmanship is a halfway monk after all, and in terms of lightsaber skills, of course, there is no way to compare with Darth Vader, who has been training for most of his life since he was 9 years old.
Don't look at Darth Vader's movements that may seem inflexible, but he always counters every attack with the most subtle moves, he is like a master of stabbing swords, flicking off the opponent's blade and attacking at the same time.
Qiao Lu knew that the lightsaber fighting was to get an axe in the class gate, and the moment he grabbed Darth Vader to swing his sword to attack, he raised his hand and a ball of lightning blasted over.
Pale lightning shot towards Darth Vader like a waterfall, engulfing his figure in an instant, and spreading all the way down the hallway.
However, in the midst of the dazzling thunder, an invisible barrier seemed to protect Darth Vader's body, leaving him covered in incandescent electricity, but he remained unscathed.
This is Darth Vader's Force Barrier, which was used to fend off Force lightning during Master Yoda's duel with Emperor Palpatine, and has now proven to be just as effective against psionic lightning, and I am afraid that neither telepathy nor psionic grip can directly penetrate this layer of defense.
The instantaneous ball lightning didn't have enough power to break Darth Vader's Force barrier, but it was impossible for Jolu to charge up in front of him for this move.
The sheer voltage completely damaged the ship's power supply system, and when the current gradually dissipated, only two lightsabers were left in the darkness, emitting a red and blue light, illuminating the faces of Jordy and Darth Vader, respectively.
"Your power is interesting." Darth Vader said appreciatively, "But it's nowhere near the dark side of the Force. ”
Qiao Lu sarcastically said: "Are you engaged in pyramid schemes? When you meet someone, you say how good is the dark side of the Force? ”
"I'm just going to lead you to the right path." Darth Vader replied that this was how he had been lured into darkness by Palpatine.
"No, I still prefer positive energy."
Jolu switched his lightsaber to his left hand, then popped a psionic blade from his right wrist and faced Darth Vader in a dual-wielding stance.
Darth Vader was no longer surprised when he saw a psionic blade that was obviously not a lightsaber, he just wanted to take Qiao Lu back and interrogate him slowly, and naturally everything would be revealed.
At this time, the rebel soldiers behind Qiao Lu finally boarded the Tantvi IV unharmed, and without the slightest hesitation, they started the spacecraft and broke away from the Ladus, which was about to crash.
Watching the Tantvey IV depart quickly, Darth Vader also realized that the Death Star blueprint had been brought to the ship, and Jolu had stayed to prevent it from boarding the ship.
However, he calmly said, "What you are doing is meaningless, after you are eliminated, I will catch up with that ship and kill everyone on it!" ”
"Then you're going to get past me first."
Jolu swung his twin blades at Darth Vader, red, blue, and white blades of light clashing in the darkness, leaving shocking scratches in the hallway, and the metal walls were no obstacle in front of the sharpened lightsabers.
Darth Vader tried to use the Force Lockthroat to capture Jorry, but just as Joru's psionic lightning would be blocked by the Force barrier, his Force Lockthroat would be defended by Joru's psionic shield.
The two sides can't help each other, so they can only fight with the lightsaber in their hands.
Darth Vader flung the lightsaber out like a boomerang, and was swept over by Jorry's chin in a Matrix-style backward dodge, before he spun the lightsaber and retracted it, and was leaped from above by Jorry's backflip.
Qiao Lu's moves are wide open and close, dexterous flashes and movements, and relies on extremely aggressive continuous attacks to disrupt the opponent's pace to make up for the shortcomings of inexperience.
is the so-called punching the master to death, for him can only do this.
Darth Vader's sword moves are steady, usually consisting of subtle basic movements such as dodging, stabbing and slicing, in order to conserve as much of his stamina as possible.
For a person who needs to rely on a mask to maintain even his breathing, it is basically impossible to jump up and down like Qiao Lu, and carry out continuous attacks without caring about physical exertion.
It's just that Darth Vader's pace has never been disrupted, and he is still so unhurried, parrying Qiao Lu's attack with ease.
When he focused on defense, even if Qiao Lu used both prongs, he couldn't find a flaw.
Darth Vader's goal was to capture Jolu alive and go back for interrogation, so he was not in a hurry, just waiting for Joru's offensive to gradually weaken, and looking for an opportunity to make a move with a static brake.
Calm opponents are the most difficult to deal with, and if Darth Vader impulsively wants to take his own life, Jolu has a better chance of surprisingly winning.
Now there is no chance for him to be surprised, just like the ball lightning just now, the more he uses, the more he exposes his hole cards.
Jo Lu must think of something else, otherwise soon Darth Vader's counterattack will begin!
