The giant corporations that started in Night City

Paul said to Raddus with apology: "I'm sorry that you became the target of the Executor, but I had to do it."

Admiral Raddus seemed very generous. He just waved his hand and chuckled: "Someone has to stay and sacrifice. From the moment we decided to resist the Empire, the ending was doomed."

"Either overthrow the tyranny of the Galactic Empire, or die on the way to the uprising."

The fire was burning everywhere inside the battleship, and it would soon spread to the bridge headquarters, so Raddus didn't want to chat with Paul too much.

"Listen, there is a light cruiser Tantive IV in the hangar of the Raddus. You have to take Princess Leia away from here as soon as possible."

"Be sure to bring the Death Star design information back to the Rebel Headquarters, please!"

The Princess Leia that Raddus mentioned was the daughter of Anakin Skywalker, but since Anakin joined the Empire's camp and became Darth Vader.

Leia was sent to Alderaan by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and was adopted and raised by Senator Bail Organa.

She is now a key leader in the Rebel Alliance and an operative who came to steal the Death Star design.

"Okay, I understand."

Paul nodded and said that since he came here, he must do something for the Rebels to make up for their heroic sacrifice.

Then, Paul left the bridge and went straight to the hangar below, while Admiral Raddus was still standing on the bridge with a big fire, and decided to live and die with Raddus.

At this moment, the crew of the Rebel Alliance hurriedly operated the computer device to save the design of the Death Star in a chip the size of a card, wanting to take away this important information.

However, the interior of the battleship was severely damaged, and many passages on the ship could not be passed through. Either the road was blocked by the sea of ​​fire, or the hull of the ship had a hideous huge hole.

The people in the cabin were sucked into outer space.

They finally found a relatively safe passage, but the gate was stuck and could not be opened normally.

This made many rebel crew members anxious. No one wanted to die on the edge of this desolate galaxy, let alone die in such a miserable way under the slaughter of the Imperial Army.

At this time, the boarding landing troops departing from the Executor had successfully arrived on the Raddus, and a large number of Imperial stormtroopers began to slaughter the rebel crew members wantonly.

For this group of rebels, the Empire's attitude has always been to slaughter them all, leaving no one alive!

Just as the rebel crew members were about to forcibly pry open the gate and leave with the Death Star design chip, a terrifying red beam suddenly appeared in the corridor behind them.

The Sith Lord Darth Vader, wearing a black cloak and equipped with black power armor, actually came to the Raddus in person to find the whereabouts of the Jedi Knights.

The heavy and hoarse breathing sounded from the cold metal mask.

At first, everyone thought Vader was a dying patient, but everyone knew that the man in front of them was the most powerful dark force user in the Empire!

At this moment, the scarlet lightsaber in Vader's hand was like a harvesting sickle in the hands of the god of death. The desperate blood color came into everyone's eyes, and some rebel crew members were frightened and fainted on the spot.

The moment Darth Vader appeared, no one could successfully survive from his hands!

"You know nothing about the dark side of the force."

At this time, Darth Vader walked over slowly. Facing these small rebel crew members, he only needed a few moves to easily kill them all.

The rebel crew members could only raise their blaster rifles and shoot at Vader. They knew that doing so was completely futile, but at this point, they had no choice but to do so.

They couldn't just wait for Darth Vader to come and kill them all.

Just as the rebels were preparing to open fire, the ceiling above them suddenly collapsed, and Paul, holding a blue lightsaber, descended from the sky and appeared in front of the rebels.

"It's a Jedi Knight--!"

The rebels' eyes were rekindled with hope. There was no more comforting moment than being saved by the savior.

Paul didn't say much nonsense to the rebels. After splitting the stuck gate, he immediately ordered everyone: "Go!"

Keeping these crew members would only affect his performance. Since Paul dared to come here alone, he was ready to face any danger.

As a master of the Force, Darth Vader only took a glance and saw through Paul's details:

"You are not a Jedi Knight. It seems that what Rigg said is indeed correct. You are a warrior from the outer galaxy, and the energy form you use is different from the Force."

Darth Vader was curious. He was not a pedantic old thing. As long as he could become stronger, he could accept anything and any form.

Even if it was the mysterious power of the extragalactic galaxy, if he could learn it, he would still try it.

"Yes, the energy I use is different from the Force you use, but it is enough."

Paul clenched the lightsaber in his hand and stared at the other party. He could feel the mysterious and powerful energy fluctuations on Darth Vader.

At this moment, the two red and blue lightsabers reflected each other, emitting exciting light, and the two energies from different planes finally started a contest.

Facing Paul who was ready, Darth Vader still acted calmly. He approached step by step with the sword in one hand, and his heavy breathing was as hoarse as ever.

But Vader's breath was not disordered at all.

Paul carefully observed Darth Vader's movements and found that this man's skills looked heavy and slow, like a robot that had just left the factory.

But for some reason, the aura oppression that Vader brought to Paul was extremely dignified, and only a master could do this.

In fact, the reason why Darth Vader had the characteristic of heavy breathing was because he was seriously injured in the battle with Obi-Wan.

He was severely burned all over his body, and his limbs were cut off. The reason he was still alive was all thanks to this black life-sustaining power armor.

It can be said that Darth Vader at this moment, even if he is in a dying state and is no longer at his peak, is still the most terrifying rebel in the Star Wars universe.

If it were not for the unrestrained dark side of the Force, which gave Darth Vader more powerful Force moves, Vader, who has always been eager to become stronger, would probably have committed suicide long ago.

For a Force warrior like Vader, having his limbs cut off and his cultivation wasted is basically the same as a beautiful woman being disfigured.

Seeing Darth Vader approaching, Paul took the initiative to slash at him, and the blue lightsaber left a burnt scratch on the narrow corridor wall.

But Vader blocked the slash with just one hand, and he made several counterattacks in succession, forcing Paul back in a subtle and neat way.

After such a fight, Vader became more and more certain that Paul was not a Jedi: "Sure enough, you don't know any Jedi moves."

Although Paul can indeed imitate Force moves with sufficient swordsmanship experience, in front of a real Force master, his temporary practice is still too immature.

For a person like Vader who can reach the pinnacle of both the light side and the dark side of the Force, using Force moves to fight him will not give him any advantage at all.

"Okay, let's fight with me again!"

Paul attacked with a sword again. This time he used the sword techniques of the Fremen and Sadoka Legion. This time the fight was much better.

But in terms of strength, even Paul, who had been strengthened by spices, had no advantage over Vader, who had a strong dark force.

If they really had to fight to the end, it would be difficult for Paul to win from the opponent.

After fighting with Vader for a few swords, Vader suddenly changed his moves and stabbed several times, almost cutting Paul's eyes.

There was no way. After all, Darth Vader was a Force warrior of the Destiny Child level in the Star Wars universe. Paul's real advantage was his sound control and predictive ability.

At most, he could parry Vader's attack, but it was difficult for him to hit the opponent.

Although Darth Vader's movements seemed slow, he could always cut into the enemy's weakest point with the most exquisite movements and angles.

Especially in the area of ​​counterattack, Vader always blocked Paul's attack and suddenly launched a series of stabs, and even used confusing moves such as fast and slow swords to chop Paul one after another.

Paul knew that if he continued to fight Darth Vader like this, he would be exhausted sooner or later, so he seized the moment of the opponent's attack and raised his hand to blast him with a palm thunder.

Before leaving, Paul did not forget to take a firing weapon device similar to Iron Man's palm thunder from the logistics equipment warehouse.

This new palm thunder device does not fire a laser cannon, but a plasma lightning energy imprisoned in a force field.

Commonly known as ball lightning.

When the orange-yellow lightning exploded in front of him, Darth Vader wanted to swing his sword to rebound the energy, but the moment the lightsaber touched the plasma lightning, it immediately submerged his figure.

Then the lightning spread and spread throughout the corridor.

Fortunately, an invisible barrier appeared to protect Darth Vader's body, allowing him to remain unscathed in the corridor full of electricity.

This is Darth Vader's force barrier. Force masters of his level have long practiced a technique similar to the Dou Qi shield.

So even if the palm thunder was launched at his face, Vader still did not suffer any damage.

After the huge voltage destroyed the power supply system of the spacecraft, only one red and one blue light remained in the entire corridor. Paul and Vader confronted each other with swords and were deadlocked again.

Seeing that Darth Vader was safe and sound, Paul couldn't help but frowned slightly. There were at least 800 enemies who died in his sneak attack tactics.

I didn't expect Vader to be able to withstand this move!

"Your moves are very interesting."

Darth Vader was attacked by surprise, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Paul with interest and threw him an olive branch:

"Why don't you join the Galactic Empire and serve the emperor? I can promise you that you can get more powerful power from the dark side of the Force than you have now!"

Faced with Darth Vader's recruitment, Paul was indifferent.

He is the only son of the head of the largest family in the "Dune" universe. He has money and power. Now he has made such a great contribution. He will have the opportunity to be promoted to a core position soon.

If he can hold on for a few more years, he may be able to directly enter the top level of the world giant company. A young man with unlimited prospects like him will go to the Sith Empire to be a barbarian lord.

Isn't this just a brain disease!

Not everyone is like Vader, always persecuted by their superiors and unable to get promoted and make money.

"Sorry, the treatment and resources I want are not what you Galactic Empire can offer, and I don't need any power from the dark side of the Force."

Paul flatly rejected Darth Vader.

"Young man, don't give up your bright future just because of a momentary anger. I am leading you to the right path."

Darth Vader is still trying to win over Paul. That's how he was seduced into the Empire by Palpatine, and that's how the Sith Lord Vader came to be.

Only warriors who have experienced the benefits of the dark side of the Force will understand how good it feels to embrace the dark power.

A man like him who had his limbs cut off and wasted his cultivation can still rise again and become stronger, and killing his fellow disciples is like drinking water.

This is enough to show the powerful force of the dark side of the Force. If Paul chooses to join them, he will only become a more powerful dark side Force warrior.

"Oh, I can't bear your high expectations!"

Paul held a sword in his right hand, and then a hard light mantis knife popped out from his left wrist. He got ready again and faced Darth Vader's step-by-step approach again.

Darth Vader was no longer surprised and stunned when he saw Paul's strange weapons and equipment.

He just wanted to catch Paul and interrogate him slowly, and then everything would be revealed.

At this time, the rebel crew behind Paul had successfully boarded the Tantive 4 spacecraft. Without any hesitation, they immediately started the spacecraft and ran away.

When Darth Vader realized that the Tantive 4 spacecraft was leaving quickly, he finally realized that the rebels had taken away the Death Star design drawings, and Paul stayed to stop him.

However, Vader remained calm, as if everything was under his control:

"Do you think they can get away? After I capture you, I will immediately catch up with the spaceship and kill them all on the spot."

"Then let's give it a try!"

After the words fell, Paul no longer passively defended. He chose to take the initiative and used his predictive ability to predict Vader's dodge position in advance.

In an instant, three lightsabers of different colors, red, blue and white, danced in the darkness, leaving shocking high-temperature scratches on the walls of the corridor.

Thanks to the role of predictive ability, Paul's every attack was just right, stuck in Darth Vader's retreat path and the timing of each counterattack.

This made Vader only start to fight with a knife to defend, and he actually lost the opportunity to counterattack.

Soon, Darth Vader tried to use the Force to lock his throat to capture Paul alive. He was also a swordsman with control skills, and it was not difficult for him to absorb objects with the Force.

But the powerful supernatural power in Paul's body can also offset the opponent's force control, just like Vader blocked the plasma palm thunder.

This is why Paul did not use sound control to control Vader. He knew that the control skills of both sides were useless against each other.

Since magic doesn't work, let's use the weapons in hand to decide the winner!

Darth Vader threw the lightsaber in his hand like a boomerang, but Paul dodged it with an extreme backward lean, and then Vader grabbed the lightsaber with the force and took it back.

During this period, Paul avoided it with a back-and-forth method. He seized the gap when Vader took the sword and quickly rushed to the opponent and started to play with two swords.

Relying on his agile and flexible body, Paul had already made dozens of slashes while dodging.

This extremely aggressive continuous attack forced Darth Vader to focus on parrying first.

Paul has now activated the "Sky Eye" state. With his short-term foresight, each of his heavy blows is specifically aimed at Vader's weak points.

If Darth Vader was not an experienced sword master, even if Paul saw through his parry path, he could still rely on muscle reaction to quickly make new blocking moves.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, he would have been beaten into a panic.

Soon, Paul heard Darth Vader's breathing began to show a trace of disorder.

This is his combat strategy!

As the saying goes, a young man is afraid of a young man. Paul, as a young man in his prime, is definitely at an advantage in terms of physical strength.

Instead of passively defending Darth Vader and letting the opponent consume his physical strength for free, it is better to actively attack the opponent and force the opponent's physical strength to decrease.

However, although Darth Vader can only passively defend, his steps are always as steady as a mountain. He is still so unhurried and easy to parry Paul's attack.

This is the top sword master in the Star Wars universe. When Vader focused on defense, even Paul, who was a double-blade player, couldn't find the opponent's flaws.

And Vader also knew that Paul was a master of swordsmanship. In order to avoid the possibility of overturning, he could only wait patiently for the young man to exhaust his physical strength and slowly find a chance to attack by using static braking.

'This old guy is really powerful...! '

Paul cursed in his heart.

The more calm and unhurried the opponent is, the more difficult it is to deal with. If Darth Vader is anxious to attack, then Paul will have the opportunity to catch the flaw and attack unexpectedly.

However, Vader did not give Paul such an opportunity at all, which forced Paul to rethink the next battle strategy, otherwise Darth Vader would soon launch a counterattack.

At this moment, three sharp sword lights kept flashing in the dark corridor.

Every collision of sword lights would cause several hideous scratches on the surrounding walls.

Darth Vader parried Paul's attacks with ease throughout the whole process, and it looked like he was training his apprentice.

In fact, in terms of energy intensity and physical fitness, Paul is stronger than Vader, but his fighting skills are still weaker than his opponent.

Although both sides are the sons of destiny in their respective universes, Darth Vader is known as the chosen one of "Balanced Force", and he has this invincible buff on him.

In addition, the opponent is fighting at home, so it is normal that Paul can't beat the opponent.

Although the power of Paul and Darth Vader is not much different, the level of attainment in swordsmanship is roughly equivalent to the difference between professional players and king masters.

Both sides are top masters in the field of swordsmanship, but there is also a gap between masters. In Darth Vader's eyes, Paul is as bad as a master player.

If Paul was not young enough, and Vader was no longer in his prime, he would probably have been defeated long ago.

"Have you had enough fun? It's my turn now!"

While speaking, Vader sent a heavy blow to Paul, who was fighting with a knife at close range. After he understood Paul's attack frequency and moves, he decided to start counterattacking.

Immediately, Vader dodged Paul's lightsaber by leaning sideways, and then he picked up the red lightsaber in his hand and directly cut off the mantis blade device on Paul's wrist.

If Paul hadn't activated his foresight in advance, his hand would have been cut off by Darth Vader!

Paul, who was frightened and sweating, woke up from his previous violent attack. Looking at the broken mantis blade, he realized the huge gap between himself and Vader.

This time Darth Vader could cut off his mantis blade, so he could cut off his hand next time!

"Do you... have a power similar to foresight?"

In Darth Vader's expectation, his sword should be able to directly cut off Paul's left hand, making the opponent lose his combat capability.

But the result was that Paul's mantis blade device was cut off. Although the accuracy was only slightly off, the result was not what Vader expected.

Combined with the fact that Paul did not have enough swordsmanship to reach the pinnacle, but could frequently predict his own killing moves, these abnormal signs all showed that.

Paul was more like a pseudo-swordsman who skipped the class after looking at the reference answers!

In fact, Darth Vader has a very distinctive combat feature, that is, his force induction is quite strong, so he can often predict the opponent's moves and counterattack.

That's why he realized so quickly that Paul might have the power of foresight.

"What a surprising guy, the secrets in you are getting more and more interesting to me."

Darth Vader's voice showed excitement. If he could get the ability to predict from Paul, no one would be his opponent in the future!

Immediately, Vader raised his lightsaber and pointed it at Paul, persuading him step by step:

"You still have a chance to join the Empire. As a senior of the Force, I can guide you in the most correct direction and discover your true power."

Paul used his hard lightsaber to push away Vader's lightsaber without hesitation, staring at him firmly:

"You're dreaming!"

Darth Vader was not angry when Paul rejected him again. He nodded and said calmly: "Okay, then I can only cut off your limbs and make you a cripple first."

"Don't worry, even if your hands and feet are cut off, as long as you are willing to join the dark side of the Force, you still have a chance to regain your combat ability."

"But before that, you will become a useless waste!"

After the voice fell, the two sides swung their swords again, but this time the person who was passively defending became Paul, who was still in a fierce state just now.
