Chapter 457: Surprise Attack (II)
But unfortunately, the Demon Carrier’s ability had found the wrong target. If Long Haochen was instead using his former Glorious Holy Shield, its powerful ability would immediately show weakness. But what kind of existence was the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon? Even a powerhouse of the ninth step would have difficulty in piercing its defense.
And in fact, as a god’s chosen one, and a Templar Knight, Long Haochen’s most powerful abilities weren’t offense oriented but defense oriented.
The green mucus descended, immediately encountering the soft rebound of the shield. Despite its viscosity, the area of ten meters surrounding Long Haochen and Yating didn’t get covered in any of the mucus, all of which were repelled by Shield Wall.
This was the first time Long Haochen brought out the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon in real battle, and undoubtedly, the results were top notch.
Right at this moment, under the lead of the Fiend Commander of the eighth step, the Fiend Team also arrived.
The purity and the force of the light essence released from Yating’s body shocked all the demons present, or rather birthed fear. This total accumulation of spiritual energy produced terrible fluctuations that could burst at any time, making all the demons with least bit of intelligence to feel its threat.
For this reason, a Fiend Commander of the eighth step was dispatched. After all, the Fiend King at the ninth step wouldn’t go act personally.
The Fiend Commander didn’t have his brothers launch a probing attack first. His perception being the greatest, his sense of urgency was just as great. The dark red heavy sword in his hand drew a large curve, aiming straight at Long Haochen’s Shield Wall.
Bang! With a dark red light flowing all over the place, terrible fluctuations of spiritual energy burst out, crushing all the vegetation in the surrounding hundred square meters, as the terrible darkness element energy even made it so that those Grand Fiends didn’t dare get close.
However, the Fiend Commander’s attacks were futile. Inside the Shield Wall, Long Haochen was entirely covered in golden, and the spiritual energy released by Yating instead became even more fragrant, this being precisely the Bright Vengeance following Divine Obstruction.
The combination of Shield Wall with Divine Obstruction formed the most complete defense for a Guardian Knight to protect his comrades and himself. Moreover, Long Haochen was using the Epic Tier Equipment Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon.
Long Haochen was now already at the seventh step of cultivation, but when fighting head on, he had the strength to confront a powerhouse of the eighth step. Originally, the reason why the battle that he fought with Ah’Bao was so disadvantageous was that his cultivation was really too inferior, thus why he suffered such a loss.
At the time the Fiend Commander’s attack clashed against the shield, Long Haochen realized clearly that his fighting strength had been increased by the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. An originally single point attack was spread all over the shield.
That rebound of the shield kept repeating itself sixteen times. At every quiver, a massive dispel of attack power came. This way, the trembling that finally reached Long Haochen’s hand was negligible. In other words, even if Long Haochen hadn’t used Divine Obstruction, the mere Shield Wall would have been enough to resist the attack from the Fiend Commander, something Long Haochen didn’t even expect.
Of course, it wasn’t like the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon could be used by anybody to counteract opposing attacks. Wouldn’t that simply be defying the natural order? First of all, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon had only appeared three times in history. Gaining its approval could only be done by a god’s chosen one of light attribute.
Secondly, a certain strength was also necessary for the god’s chosen one who gained its approval. Long Haochen happened to be at the seventh step of cultivation, which was just enough to be qualified. And even so, he had yet to reach the level of strength to unleash its full might.
In other words, the seventh step of strength was the bottom line.
To another powerhouse of the seventh step with a shield at Epic Tier, blocking the attack of a powerhouse of the eighth step wouldn’t be anything of a surprise. But one shouldn’t forget that the attributes of the shield and Long Haochen concorded, making them even more likely to resist the attack.
Since he acquired the shield, except from being unusable at certain times of the day, Long Haochen didn’t find any issue regarding the shield. On the contrary, he kept finding it more and more formidable. Its size was malleable, going up to a limit of a hundred meters in length, from the size of a palm. The most remarkable aspect however was that even when enlarged to its limit, the decrease in defense wasn’t significant, but when shrinking to the minimal size, its defense was comparable to a divine tool.
The Fiend Commander’s attack being parried, his body was repelled before falling to the ground. The shield’s repelling force wasn’t so great, but it still astonished him, letting him feel the great defensive strength of the item.
