967 A Well-Deserved Genius (1/2)
It was not exaggerated to call the five-layered protective screen made by the five G.o.dly State experts the most powerful defense.
How would Ling Yu believe that Fang Zhengzhi could break through the defense using a few ordinary swords?
Even if ”Meng Tian” was really more powerful than him, even if ”Meng Tian's” sword skills were extremely good, it was impossible for him to break through this level of defense.
Clang! The sword blade of the third long sword eventually broke as it was unable to withstand the prolonged collision and spinning.
However, there were still the fourth and fifth swords.
Boom! The fourth sword landed on the five-layered protective screen again and overlapped with the position that the third sword was at, with an increasing speed of rotation.
The sharp whistle was heard again and it was more intense as compared to earlier on.
Crack! At this moment, a crisp crack sound was heard with the whistle. It was not very loud but it made the G.o.dly State experts' expressions change completely.
That was because when this sound was heard, they saw a small crack on the five-layered protective screen above their head. Even though it was very small, it really cracked open.
Moreover, the crack became bigger and spread to the surroundings as the fourth long sword spun.
Boom! A beam of light struck the fourth long sword and it was sent flying. It was none other than Qin Xian who had attacked.
However, when the fourth sword was sent flying…
The fifth long sword did not strike!
”Hmm?! Where's the last sword?” Lin Yu was surprised because he remembered clearly that Fang Zhengzhi had five swords in total.
Therefore, there should be five long swords in total.
However, why were there only four?
Where was the fifth long sword?
As this thought struck Ling Yu, a chill rose from his feet. It was an instinctive thought as a result of years of experience on the battlefield.
”Under the feet?!” Ling Yu's face turned pale instantly. He figured out that the fifth long sword did exist, except that it did not land from the sky.
It was hidden underground!
This was a diversion trick!
Boom! The ground split open and the fifth long sword flew out from underground with a s.h.i.+ning silver light like a stream of light that flew to the sky.
”Dodge, Young Lord!” Without hesitation, Ling Yu turned and pushed Yun Qingwu who was behind him away.
At such a critical moment, he had no other choice but to attack Yun Qingwu. Fortunately, he could control his strength even at such moments.
Yun Qingwu was sent flying by Ling Yu but did not suffer severe injuries. In fact, she did not even spit out a mouth of blood.
They were rather lucky to get this outcome.
After all, Ling Yu was a G.o.dly State expert while Yun Qingwu was merely at a Star Conglomerate State. The difference in their powers was starking.
Swoos.h.!.+ The sword blade of the fifth sword brushed past Ling Yu's face and flew towards the five-layered protective realm in the sky at an extremely fast speed.
This ought to be a fortunate outcome.
However, Ling Yu's expression froze and looked at the fifth sword in disbelief.
That was because he did not expect himself to be able to dodge the sword.
After all, the position he was standing at was exactly the position Yun Qingwu was at earlier on. He had exchanged positions with Yun Qingwu when he pushed her away.
Therefore, by right, he should be stabbed.
Why did the sword miss him?!
Was it because ”Meng Tian's” sword missed him by accident?
Ling Yu did not like to boost others' morale and make himself look bad, but he was not naive enough to believe that ”Meng Tian's” sword really missed him by accident.
Therefore, the only explanation was that ”Meng Tian” had intentionally done that.
However, why did ”Meng Tian” intentionally miss him?
Unless Meng Tian had spent so much effort and energy to merely frighten Yun Qingwu and the G.o.dly State experts?
Obviously not.
Boom! Just as Ling Yu was in a state of confusion, the fifth long sword finally hit the five-layered protective realm at the exact same position as the fourth long sword.
However, the difference was that the past four swords had stabbed into the realm but the fifth sword stabbed in an inside-out manner.
Crack! Almost instantaneously, the five-layered protective realm broke completely under the impact and swivel of the fifth sword.
The cracks were like a spiderweb and exploded at an extremely fast speed as though the realm did not have any protection at all.
Ling Yu's face turned purple.
Apart from him, the faces of Mu Xing, the other two G.o.dly State experts as well as Qin Xian turned extremely ugly.
They were not dumb.
Although this scene shocked them, it did not surprise them as they knew the reason behind what had happened.
In fact, when the fourth sword landed on the five-layered protective realm, it had suffered some damage from the strong pressure of the force.
The pressure caused it to deform as it contracted.
If a fifth sword struck down on it at that state, it would continue to contract. Even if it was further damaged, it would not break into pieces.
However, when the fifth long sword was stabbed upwards,,,
The outcome was completely different.
Using the a.n.a.logy of a door, after it was being kicked by people from the outside and dented inwards, it would break if someone suddenly kicked from the inside.
The five-layered protective screen was similar.
The force caused by four strikes from outside and one strike from inside caused the crack to bulge up. Even the strongest defense object could not take this blow.
”He did it on purpose. Since the start, Meng Tian had no intention of hurting Yun Qingwu. His was eyeing on the five-layered protective screen!” Lin Yu finally figured out.
He figured out why the fifth sword missed Yun Qingwu.
That was because the fifth sword was not aimed at Yun Qingwu, or rather, it was not supposed to be attack in a straight line since the start.
The five-layered protective screen…
Broke!
So, where would ”Meng Tian” attack from?
Young lord…
Wait a minute!
Young Lord was sent flying by the push?!
