Vol 22 Chapter 15 (1/2)
Book 22, True God, Chapter 15 – That Tiny Wave
Ee object had torn through all those layers of protection Her face instantly changed “Not good!” She hurriedly dodged while brandishi+ng her sleeves to block Clang! The sharp object struck against her sleeves, then flew off towards another direction
“Be careful, everyone” Empress Xi said hurriedly, “It is too fast; you can’t let yourself be caught offguard!”
“Xingtian, do you have any more shi+eld-type treasures?” True God Luwu asked hurriedly
“I do” Xingtian produced a s towards True God Luwu It rapidly increased in size, becorabbed the buckler with one hand, using his other to continue holding onto his metal whip
Xingtian was si a buckler in one hand and his Heaven Punisher Axe in the other He hurriedly asked, “Anyone else need a buckler?” As he spoke his gaze couldn’t help but turn towards Ning, located in the center of the formation
Of the seven, Kuafu was the strongest Xingtian and Etian already had a buckler while E her sleeves
Next came Graceful Peacock, Windfate, and Luwu Luwu had already acquired a buckler, while Daofather Windfate used his fan The fan could also be used as a shi+eld, and Daofather Windfate would actually be able to unleash more poith his fan than with a buckler As for Graceful Peacock, her ‘body’ had been forged frorade Protocosmic spirit-treasure She was actually safer than any of them
As Xingtian saw it, Ji Ning was a wielder of the sword The sas an offensive weapon; defensively speaking, it was co would most likely need a buckler
“I don’t need one just yet” Ning smiled and shook his head
“Be careful,” Xingtian warned, then fell silent
Attacks continued to rain down upon theuarded carefully against the attacks, and they even decided to shrink the peri within it
The six FiendGods worked together to defend against nineteen waves of attacks Ji Ning, by contrast, had things easy; protected in the center of the formation, he didn’t suffer any attacks at all
“Eh? It seems to have ended,” Graceful Peacock said softly
“The cries of the earth are growing softer,” Kuafu agreed
Thump Thump
The heartbeat ringing out frorown quieter
“After a period of tiain and the attacks will start anew,” Kuafu said “Let’s rest for now and prepare to deal with the next wave of attacks”
“Right” The FiendGods all had rather ugly looks on their faces
The invisible attacks were simply too powerful, and they were also extraordinarily unpredictable During the nineteen waves of attacks, True God Luwu had been injured three times, Daofather Windfate had been injured twice, Etian had each been injured once, while Kuafu, Ning, and Graceful Peacock were uninjured Each tie amount of divine power to heal it
Using divine power to heal one’s body was extre As more time passed the divine poould be used up, at which point they wouldn’t even be able to maintain the formation! The reason why they had been able to survive the nineteen waves of attacks was because the formation served to weaken the power of those attacks If they were to face those attacks head on, even Kuafu would be in danger of dying
Everyone could sense death irim
“This guy Ji Ning…all of us are so nervous, but he’s actually daydrea, still located at the center of the for stood in the center, eyes completely blank Clearly, his mind was elsewhere and he was completely preoccupied
“Ugh” True God Luas an a “We’ll do our best If we can protect Ji Ning, ill If we end up dying, there will be nothing ”
Ning continued to stand there, pondering to himself “Each time there is an attack, especially when the attack draws close, I can dimly sense a hint of a ripple spread out Clearly, the power of the attacks is so great that at a close distance, there’s no way for it to completely avoid my senses However, I can just sense a tiny wave each time There’s no way for e object is co from”
Those ripples were perhaps cos attacked they instantly arrived before their target, giving the defenders no time to spare
“I need to verify and track the direction fro to come”
“Given hoerful these attacks are, they have to cause at least a tiny bit of spatial disruption” Ning stared at the thickets around them “Still…the illusions around us are simply too realistic, and the area around us is filled with e objects”
“What I need to do is to separate the ripples caused by the illusions froe objects”
Ning had been watching closely during the last ten-plus attacks, but he was still unable to ascertain exactly where each attack was going to come from
Thu froer once more
Thuthen
“Be careful, everyone The next wave of attacks froin,” Kuafu barked
“Right” The other five True Gods hurriedly acknowledged hi on maximum alert
As for Ning, his eyes were lidded as he circulated his soul heartforce technique, using it to attune hi around theht, by spatialwas able to separate out the spatial ripples, but what he needed to do right noas to identify the specific spatial ripples being generated by those strange objects
Even for a , this was incredibly difficult!
