Chapter 98 (1/2)
Shi Yuan also did not sit and wait for death. Releasing more than fifty Mechanical Beasts for support, converting these Mechanisms to Star Cultivator's cultivations, they were equivalent to Stardust Late Stage. They were unable to cause harm to the Steadfast Star and Princess Ling Yan, but even ants in great numbers could bite an elephant to death, thus bringing relief to the pressure on Lin Yingmei.
The Steadfast Star Dong Ping sitting at the fifteenth seat1 herself was a Liangshan Five Tiger. In terms of military strength, she was only slightly inferior to Lin Chong, however, now that her Destined Star Weapon reached Two Star, she completely held the upper hand.
An Suwen waved her outstretched hand wanting to use the ”Essence Swallowing Dragons” to enter the battle, but Wu Xinjie hurriedly stopped her. Only when the Essence Swallowing Dragons numbered above one hundred could there be a visible effect. If the several dozen were extinguished by a wave of Zhao Hanyan's hand, then that was too grievous.
”But do we just watch Big Brother Su Xing?” An Suwen's expression tightened.
The Knowledge Star was silent. They as Star Generals lacked military force and magic, and in a battle, they basically lacked the power to make a statement. In previous Star Duels, support type Star Generals mostly stood behind their contractors, and the majority carried out assistance according to their own personal strengths. It could not be said that rushing forth would have any sort of advantage. On the contrary, it was somewhat superfluous. However, Wu Xinjie was not yet resigned. Wrinkling her brow, she then said: ”I have a solution. Suwen, in a moment, replenish my spiritual power.”
An Suwen clearly understood.
The Knowledge Star took out the Heaven Concealing Star Feather Fan. She aimed between Su Xing and Lin Yingmei, and then the fan released a vast stretch of green light. Moving seals, a clump of breath as light as a wing enveloped Su Xing and Lin Yingmei. Su Xing only felt the air in his body get drawn out completely, and subsequently, be replaced by a gentle breath. His body seemed to have lost its weight, and his speed suddenly jumped a level compared to before.
After Zhao Hanyan blocked Su Xing's Firebolt sword, she saw Su Xing move. His figure before her eyes dazzled, and she lost track of him. He then appeared behind her. This kind of speed made Zhao Hanyan stunned.
Su Xing slashed down with the flying sword grasped in his hand.
Princess Ling Yan did not panic. Her fingers pinched together into a hand seal, and a multicolored light leaked from her hairpin, shrouding her within. It was like the seven colored light gave Zhao Hanyan a layer of an illusory plumage robe2 to drape herself in. It was impervious to sword and spear, invulnerable to water and fire.
Worthy of being called the Great Liang's First Princess, the treasures on her person truly were many.
This sudden surprise attack of Su Xing returned without any achievements. Princess Ling Yan's white fingers danced, and the golden blade raised in her hand went to separate Su Xing. She looked at Wu Xinjie and shouted inconceivably: ”Surprisingly, it's a Dark Rank Tactic? Unexpectedly, you're the Knowledge Star??”
The Knowledge Star acting as the Liangshan Maiden's third seat naturally had her original place. Besides being exceedingly resourceful, she was the champion in understanding the specialties of the hundred and eight stars. Generally speaking, Star Generals could only comprehend their Dark Rank Tactics approximately at the Third Stage3 ”Evil Smiting Hall,” but the First Stage was sufficient for the Knowledge Star.
Acting as the strategic Star General in a war, the Knowledge Star's magic was sufficient enough to reverse the course of the war. In addition, the magic Wu Xinjie used just now on Su Xing and Lin Yingmei was precisely the Knowledge Star's ”Dark Rank Tactic.”
Speed is a Crucial Asset in War!4
It could substantially promote speed for a short time, although it was from the current perspective. Due to the restriction of Su Xing's grade, as well as the signing of multiple Star Generals, his Star Energy's growth was hindered, but the Knowledge Star still extremely quickly understood her Dark Rank Tactic.
Once Speed is a Crucial Asset in War was activated, Su Xing and Lin Yingmei far exceeded their opponents in terms of speed. Dong Junqing's Two Star Star Weapon's strength occupied the winning position, but after Lin Yingmei's speed increased, she could only fight to a stalemate, causing the General of Double Spears to become exceedingly angry.
”You all also prepare.”
After using a Dark Rank Tactic, Wu Xinjie greatly injured her vitality. An Suwen then used a ”Spiritual Aura Distribution” to replenish her. A moment later, Wu Xinjie used once again Speed is a Crucial Asset in War, adding it to An Suwen and Shi Yuan.
The two girls understood tacitly what to do. Shouting, they each released Child and Mother Linked Hearts Needles and Hoodwinking Claws. Even though they were not military force generals, a One Star ”Child and Mother Linked Hearts Needles” and ”Hoodwinking Claws” more or less also could help out.
Princess Ling Yan alternated her artifacts and magics. Even if their situation did not change under the Speed is a Crucial Asset in War, she was not at all confused. From the bottom of her heart, she was actually slightly regretful that she was too quick to fight. She basically was incapable of covering up her handsome and wonderful bodily beauty. Along with her intense movements, the light muslin fluttered, her lapel opening wide, and those full and towering breasts from time to time spilled out dazzling ripples, the dark red points completely exposed.5
The cold wind pouring into her secret place made her shiver.
This kind of just faintly discernible was truly alluring. If it was any other man, perhaps he would have already been made capricious by this charming appearance of Princess Ling Yan, unintentionally continuing to zealously fight. However, due to Su Xing's nature as a soldier, having also practiced the Absolute Sincerity Soul Technique, once he was serious, that remarkably beautiful naked girl in front of his eyes was but only a pink human skeleton and nothing more. Absolutely unambiguously acting, he did not have tender feelings for her in the slightest.
Princess Ling Yan's complexion was crimson, yet it was too late to look after her appearance. However, seeing Su Xing's indifferent manner made her heart somewhat mysteriously resentful.
Compared with Princess Ling Yan's heart, there was still a trace of a young girl's aloofness and jealous love. The Steadfast Star General of Double Spears Dong Junqing did not have that many thoughts. Equally only wearing a thin red shirt, her face had earlier already lost its previous giddy expression. Four Star Generals acting together saw her put in an extremely grave situation, and Lin Yingmei's superb body techniques under Speed is a Crucial Asset of War made her Two Star Star Weapon's superiority completely unable to manifest.
More than a dozen green lights shot over whistling. Dong Junqing yelled in a rage, one spear splitting them open, and the other Yang Dragon Spear blocked Lin Yingmei's attack. Suddenly flipping both hands, the one Yin and one Yang engulfed her entire body. The Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Spear's light violently swelled, sticking into their eyes and blinding them.
”Look out! It's the Steadfast Star's Yellow Rank Spear Technique.”
Wu Xinjie loudly warned.
Lin Yingmei retreated, clutching her spear and adopting a defensive posture.
Dong Junqing loudly laughed. Raising the Dragon Phoenix Yin Yang Spear, an orange red and a freezing cold spear light flew out from the spears, breaking down into a half moon, expansively and violently killing over. Just like a blade edge that shattered into countless shards, tearing their ears, uneasily shaking, just like a frightful downpour. The two kinds of different colored spear lights mutually folded over, matching dazzling that covered downwards. Not only Lin Yingmei, but also Wu Xinjie, An Suwen and Shi Yuan all were enveloped by the spear light.
