Chapter Four Hundred and Fifty One – Post-Epiphany Lei Peng (2/2)
He moved forward proactively, the three of them forming a triangle with Lei Peng at the very front. After Lei Peng had had epiphany on the battlefield, he had been laughed at by his fellows for a long time. What caused him to feel even more embarrassed was that the epiphany that was said to be a one-in-a-thousand chance had not helped him enter jindan!
The sabre scripture that Lei Peng used to cultivate was called the [Abyss Beast Soul Consuming Sabre]. The name was ostentatious but it really wasn’t a powerful sabre scripture. Sabre scriptures were hard to find, and good sabre scriptures were even rarer. So instead he wanted to cultivate sword scriptures like the [Clear Sky Sword Scripture]. This guy had a thick skin and came with a begging face to see Zuo Mo. Zuo Mo saw that such a big person like him coming to beg wasn’t an easy thing to do, and naturally allowed it. The result was that he had read every one of Zuo Mo’s sword scriptures, no matter if it was good or bad!
But after he read, he had even more questions, and even practicing the familiar sabre scripture became awkward.
That was until the epiphany on the battlefield last time that seemed to create a light among the mist. He actually comprehended three slightly unusual sword moves.
When he had just comprehended them, they were only in their beginning stages. He had skipped over to ask for guidance from others. Who knew that after Wei Sheng watched him them, Wei Sheng had praised the moves.On the road from Bloody Sky Metropolis Jie to Cloud Sea Jie, he had helped Lei Peng gradually refine them. After being refined and carved like rough jade, these three sword moves released their blinding light.
Lei Peng called the three moves [Abyssal Chop].
Spending everyday together, Ma Fan and Lie Peng naturally knew the power of Lei Peng’s three moves. They were very powerful, and most suited to heavy assault, so he became the primary attacker.
The three stood still.
Nian Lu’s hands were like blooming lotus flowers. With a snap, a handful of small lotus flowers burst from his fingertips. Each of these little lotus flowers were the size of a thumb, small and adorable. When the little lotus flowers came out, they spread into the surroundings.
The surroundings instantly started to waver, and Nian Lu’s expression became grave.
Even though his move of his could defeat illusory formations and usually worked, but what they were facing right now was a sixth-grade talisman. He didn’t know if this would be effective.
However … …
An indiscernible light flashed through Nian Lu’s eyes.
Pia pia pia!
The little lotus flowers popped like bubbles. The changes in light around them became even more violent. However, Nian Lu stared tightly at a space not far from them—that place was only several chi big but under the his attack, from beginning to end, it had not changed a bit.
“There!”
Nian Lu’s voice was full of confidence.
He had not planned to defeat the illusory formation in front of them with his move. He knew he was not a match for an illusory formation produced by a sixth-grade talisman. He was trying to find the leverage point! Any illusory formation would have some areas that never changed, these were leverage points. They were the structure to the illusory formation and would not change as the illusory formation changed.
And these leverage points were their target!
When attacking an illusory formation, the worst thing to do was to attack aimlessly. The great majority of targets in an illusory formation were illusions, no matter how realistic they appeared, they were still illusions. If they attacked illusions, they would only miss! Only by attacking the structure of the formation could they truly damage the formation.
Lei Peng’s legs bent as he crouched slightly forward, his hands holding the golden crystal broadsword. Ling power burst from his body like a fire. In a blink, his body was covered in a thin layer of ling power fire. This was a sign that ling power was being channeled to its limits.
Without needing a signal, Ma Fan and Nian Lu channeled ling power simultaneously, and ling power flames also appeared on their bodies in a thin layer.
The ling power flames on their bodies were all different. Lei Peng’s flames were red with a tinge of black, giving people an intimidating feeling. Ma Fan’s ling power fire was grey and flickering, hard to catch. Nian Lu’s ling power fire was green with pink, extremely beautiful.
Like a metal tower, Lei Peng glared angrily, all the muscles in his body expanding as he raised the gold crystal broadsword in his hand.
Hiss!
Countless fine air flows around him seemed to be plucked by an invisible hand. Sharp fine sword energies were like sharp shards of ice that hissed and flew.
Ma Fan’s eyes were half-lidded, the tip of the flying sword in his hand slightly raised, and Nian Lu’s expression was grave, faint lotus flowers discernable on his long and slender flying sword.
Having finished preparing, Lei Peng felt the blood vessels in his body expand, but his heart was like the eye of the storm, calm and peaceful.
His mind moved, and he acted with his thought. All the gathered sword essence was like the flood rushing through the dam and venting out!
The upraised golden crystal broadsword suddenly chopped down!
“Deep Abyssal Chop!”
Woosh!
The sound was like an enormous block of wood being thrown up, and caused fear in people’s hearts! The surrounding space seemed to twist. This enormous sword that was like a horse-chopping sabre seemed to come from the abyss of hell and did not have any light at all!
Black and deep!
The places where the sword edges passed appeared a bottomless deep abyss!
Ma Fan and Nian Lu also attacked at the same time!
A grey sword energy and a blue sword essence were like baby sparrows returning to the nest, combined with Lei Peng’s bottomless and black sword energy!
The sword energy suddenly grew, and that black abyss expanded slightly!
That was a power that seemed to be able to swallow anything and instilled fear in people!
A shocked shout came from the air. The owner of the Thousand Gem Illusory Disk also detected danger. The scenery next to the trio changed dramatically as the other tried to distract and confuse them.
Lei Peng did not seem to see it. The growing sword energy in his hand accurately struck the place that Nian Lu had pointed at!
The moment it struck, time seemed to slightly pause.
Boom!
Everyone felt their vision darken, the blackness that was endless seemed to swallow all of them. The ground under their feel trembled and shook fiercely!
An angry voice came from the air.
“You dare to damage my talisman! All of you, wait for your death!”
