Chapter 715
When Long Chen’s hand slapped against Shui Guanzhi’s face, it was like it also slapped against everyone’s hearts . Time seemed to come to a stop .
The Dragonblood warriors, the thirty-sixth supermonastery’s disciples, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s people, Zhao Wuji, Zhong Wuyan, Yue Qianshan, and the four families were all stunned .
POW!
Shui Guanzhi was like a shooting star . When Long Chen’s strength was added to the power of the current, he immediately pierced through the Xuantian Sea and slammed into the basin .
People didn’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but Shui Guanzhi slammed into the exact same place as Long Chen . However, Shui Guanzhi appeared even more miserable, and he slammed a huge hole into the rock that had been compressed by countless years of these waves .
Shui Guanzhi coughed up a mouthful of blood and crawled up from the ground . People saw an extremely clear handprint on his face . Although Shui Guanzhi quickly circulated his spiritual yuan and that mark faded, that image was forever imprinted in their hearts . A grand rank two Celestial had actually been slapped in the face .
They then turned to look back into the storm zone . Long Chen’s saber was resting on his shoulder . He appeared like a domineering G.o.d . The shockwaves from Long Chen’s slap shook their hearts .
Zhong Wuyan had never imagined that Long Chen, who usually didn’t reveal any power, was actually this terrifying .
The Four Heavenly Geniuses had exchanged blows before . But it hadn’t been a life and death battle, and so they hadn’t determined a winner .
But whether it was Zhong Wuyan, Zhao Wuji, or Yue Qianshan, none of them liked to battle Shui Guanzhi .
That was because Shui Guanzhi’s water magical arts were too irritating . They came one after another, endless and boundless . Their techniques were unable to display their true power in front of him .
Furthermore, Shui Guanzhi had abnormally deep reserves of spiritual yuan . If they tried to fight a battle of attrition, none of them would be able to exhaust him . Furthermore, his defense was perfect, practically impenetrable .
But Long Chen had broken that perfect defense with a single slash of his saber . That was the most shocking part of it . Having exchanged blows with Shui Guanzhi, they were aware of how strong that s.h.i.+eld was . It would constantly dissipate other people’s power, making them helpless .
They were unable to understand how Long Chen had done this . Just now, they hadn’t seen him release any great power . It had happened too suddenly .
“This Long Chen has gone too far! This is just humiliating others!” Shui Yuncong’s expression was incomparably ugly now .
“Too far? Humiliating? How come you didn’t think that Shui Guanzhi’s sneak attack against Long Chen was going too far or humiliating?” sneered Shui Wuhen .
“After a win, you laugh so happily, but after a loss, you have to curse others? Brother Yuncong, don’t lose face . After all, whether it’s Shui Guanzhi or Long Chen, they’re both on the side of your Shui family . They’re both equally valuable . Even if you’re biased, you shouldn’t make it so obvious,” advised Zhou Tianyi with a smile .
Although he knew Zhou Tianyi’s words were trying to infuriate him, Shui Yuncong’s fury still almost burst out of control .
Long Chen’s slap hadn’t just been a slap in the face of Shui Guanzhi, but it had also been a slap in the face of the entire Shui family .
“This Long Chen really is strange . How did he do this? How did he break Shui Guanzhi’s defense?”
At this time, the w.a.n.g family head finally couldn’t help opening his mouth . He wasn’t interested in their verbal warfare . But Long Chen’s attack did make him very curious . When he said this, he looked toward the vice sect master, hoping he could answer him .
The vice sect master didn’t disappoint him . “I’m also not sure if he took advantage of the opening in Guanzhi’s defense or not . But if Long Chen really did do it on purpose, then his ability to see through his enemies is truly terrifying!”
“Opening in his defense?! How could there be a gap in Shui Guanzhi’s water magical arts?!” Shui Yuncong didn’t believe it .
The vice sect master couldn’t be bothered to even look at him . He coldly said, “There is nothing in this world that is perfect . If something was truly perfect, all that represents is extinction . Magical arts are the same, and no matter how strong the magical art, it must have a weak point . Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist . ”
“Please give me pointers, vice sect master,” asked Shui Wuhen respectfully . To tell the truth, she also wanted to know very much .
The vice sect master looked at the distant Long Chen . “There is a saying that wind cannot exist without motion, and water is constantly flowing . The essence of water magical arts is that constant change . The wheel turns in an unending cycle . No matter what form the outer shape of the magical art takes, it must be in motion on the inside . As those runes flow, they cancel out the opponent’s attack power . It’s most definitely a very powerful ability .
“When fighting with water cultivators, if you try to fight a battle of attrition, you’ll essentially be asking to be defeated . Water attribute experts have profound reserves of spiritual yuan . Even if the two sides have the same amount of spiritual yuan, the water cultivator will be able to use this method to exhaust their opponent’s energy . So when their opponent is out of spiritual yuan, the water cultivator will still have at least twenty percent of theirs left .
“To sum up, a water cultivator’s strongest point is their defense, not offense . But again, whether it is offense or defense, Shui Guanzhi’s water magical arts are in constant motion . That is his strongest point, and also where his weakness lies . ”
“What…?”
