Chapter 745 Attack (1/2)

GOR

After saying that, Duwei reached out with his hand and performed a grabbing motion.

An armour fragment and half a longbow appeared simultaneously in his palm.

Light flowed and the armour and longbow were quickly restored to their original state.

“I am very sorry. It seems I had utterly destroyed the Tearlight Crystal.” Shen smiled, watching as Duwei restored the two equipment. He made no move to attack. “However, given your present level of power, do you still need them?”

“Of course not.” Duwei shrugged. Next, with a flick of his finger, both bow and armour flew towards Chen Xiaolian. “Take them.”

Chen Xiaolian instinctively stretched out his hand. The moment he made contact with the armour, it seemingly came to life as it slid itself across Chen Xiaolian’s arm before enveloping his whole body.

The longbow too, slid into his left hand.

A prompt appeared in his system.

[Flash Bow of Ketu-Rahu. Long-ranged [???] class equipment.

[Moonless Fivefold Light Armour. Defensive [???] class equipment.]

Those two were the only prompts to appear.

To Chen Xiaolian’s surprise, the longbow in his hand was very similar to the one he saw back in World’s End.

Back then, the longbowman he encountered was not too strong in terms of personal strength. However, the power of the silver longbow in his hand was simply unbelievable. Additionally, even though the Sword in the Stone had struck it many times, its Killing Blow ability, which could break enemy weapons, did not trigger.

The longbow must at least be at a similar level, [A+] class. It might even be at [S] class.

At present, however, the system had not given any other prompts for the longbow in his hand. Even its level was [???].

In other words, the fellow’s silver longbow… … was just a replica?

If so, this longbow in his hand…

Seeing Chen Xiaolian wearing the Moonless Fivefold Light Armour while holding the Flash Bow of Ketu-Rahu, Duwei said coolly, “Keep that Sword in the Stone. That is, if you want to be of any use here.”

“I disagree.” Smiling, Shen gently shook his head. “If there are no more words to say, let’s begin!”

His body suddenly disappeared only to reappear instantly before Chen Xiaolian. His palm was already pressing upon Chen Xiaolian’s chest.

Having to face six of his former companions at the same time, Shen dared not let his guard down.

Originally, he had only viewed Chen Xiaolian as an ant. However, with the two sacred artefacts from Duwei, he was now capable of slightly threatening him.

If so… … he would just have to kill Chen Xiaolian first.

Bang!

The hilt of a spear struck Chen Xiaolian’s abdomen to send him flying far away.

It was Zhao Yun.

“Get far away! Do you think that set of armour is tough enough against him?” Zhao Yun shouted with a strict tone. Then, borrowing the recoil from striking Chen Xiaolian’s body, she sent the tip of her spear towards Shen’s throat.

Chen Xiaolian, after getting struck by Zhao Yun’s spear, tumbled a few times across the ground. However, he felt no pain from that. Zhao Yun’s attack was performed to merely push him away and had not broken the armour on his person.

That was not all. When he landed, he did not feel any impact from the fall.

The armour he was wearing, the Moonless Fivefold Light Armour, was truly a… … sacred artefact.

That thought had only just emerged when a sharp sensation of pain spread out from his chest.

It was the spot where Shen’s palm was pressing down on. A big concave had appeared on the armour.

Chen Xiaolian’s vision turned dark as he spat a mouthful of blood onto the grassy ground.

Even though it had to first pass through the Moonless Fivefold Light Armour, Shen’s power was still powerful enough that one blow could critically wound Chen Xiaolian.

Too… strong!

Gritting his teeth, Chen Xiaolian struggled to get up. Then, he watched as six figures began fighting.

Zhao Yun had already condensed out the silver armour over her whole body. She stabbed Shen non-stop with the silver spear in her hand.

Cheng Cheng held onto a strand of her red hair in each hand, which transformed into Dimensional Rip Blades. Every slash she executed would rip space apart.

Gabriel was continuously summoning balls of light from his hand, all of which he hurled towards Shen.

Mr San brandished his umbrella. The umbrella would occasionally close up and he would either hack down or stab forward with it. Occasionally though, it would open up to sweep everything.

Bai Qi no longer swung his sword at empty air. This time, every one of his attacks was performed from the most cunning of angles as he stabbed at Shen.

Duwei was the only exception. He kept his hands behind his back with his eyes closed, choosing to not attack.

Yet, despite coming under siege from the five of them, Shen did not end up in an unfavourable position.

He simply dodged all their attacks, his eyes darting around non-stop as he kept a constant eye on the unmoving Duwei. He dared not let Duwei out of his sight.

Zhao Yun’s spear, Bai Qi’s sword, Mr San’s umbrella, Cheng Cheng’s Dimensional Rip Blade and Gabriel’s balls of light. Their trail covered the space around Shen’s figure. And yet, none of their attacks could even make contact with the corners of Shen’s body.

It was not that their attacks could not make contact with Shen. However, even though their attacks did make contact, it was as though they had simply made contact with a shadow, not producing any effect at all.

“Sorry, against this level of attacks, I can no longer hold back.”

Despite facing the tempest-like attacks, Shen could still find the time to speak.

Then, Shen, who was seemingly in the midst of dancing, suddenly stopped moving.

The attacks from all five struck Shen at the same time.

However, Shen continued standing there, seemingly unscathed by the attacks.

The faces of all five simultaneously sank.

There were clear sensations of contact from their attacks, but Shen… … could he already be strong enough that he could disregard the attacks?

Suddenly, Shen attacked.

The instant he made his move, a powerful and dazzling light suddenly burst out from his body, rendering the others into a seemingly immobile state.

Shen’s palm then pressed down on Gabriel’s chest.

Boom!

The powerful light then became like fireworks as it abruptly exploded. Gabriel gave a muffled cry as his figure flew backwards.

The grassy ground they were on was not too large in size. It was only as big as half a football field while surrounded by the endless void. Gabriel became like an artillery blast as he shot into the endless void.

After the attack successful made contact, Shen quickly retreated. Instantly, his face turned pale, then bright red, then pale again. It repeated a few times.

Only then did the other four began moving again.

“Time… lock?”

Zhao Yun’s face was as cold as frost as she hissed out those words.

“It’s Spatial Lock.” Shen forced out a smile.

Zhao Yun gripped her silver spear with both hands and the silvery luminescence emanating from her body gradually grew brighter. It seemed as though she was a pile of raging fire.

“If that is the case, allow me to break your lock!”

The spear swung out from her waist before stabbing towards Shen.

Her movements appeared slow, so much so that it almost seemed as though she was immobile. However, for every inch traversed by the tip of her spear, ripples would form in the air.

Silvery luminescence shone from the ripples before changing to black. Finally, the colour of the luminescence transformed again into an assortment of colours.

Her face was as icy as a mountain of ice.

Seeing the attack launched by Zhao Yun, Shen’s face grew grim.

Instead of taking it on with his bare hands, he waved his hand and a translucent wall suddenly appeared before him.

The tip of the spear moved at a speed that gave off the impression of both fast and slow. The moment the wall appeared, the tip of the spear had already stabbed into the wall.

When the tip of the spear stabbed into the translucent wall, the wall instantly shattered like broken glass. At the same time, though, it caused the movement of the spear to falter slightly.

During that time, Shen clenched his right fist and punched towards the tip of the spear.

Ripples spread out through the surrounding space as fist and spear tip met.

Both fist and spear tip were knocked aside from the impact. However, Shen’s other fist shot out to heavily punch down upon the spear handle.

Following a ringing sound, the spear broke into two.

Shen’s hand turned over to grab the spear tip portion of the spear before rapidly hurling it towards Zhao Yun.

As the spear shot through the air towards Zhao Yun’s chest, the number of ripples formed exceeded the ones from Zhao Yun’s earlier attack.

At the same time, however, Mr San’s umbrella swung forward and popped open.

The tip of the spear stabbed into the surface of the umbrella and sent it flying. However, the trajectory of the spear was changed as a result. It spun through the air before grazing Zhao Yun’s shoulder, creating a long cut there as a result before flying far away.
