Fangxin's sword, carrying an imposing aura, sent a shiver down the spines of those who watched from afar.
Especially Xie Lin, who was continuously retreating under this offensive.Anteriormente, Hua Cheng había logrado enfrentarse a Bai Wuxiang solo, pero tras la aparición de Jun Wu, ambos tuvieron que trabajar juntos para igualarlo en combate.
La ventaja de poder mágico en el "Cerro de la Olla de Bronce" finalmente comenzó a hacerse evidente, y Xie Lin sintió sutilmente una presión que amenazaba su posición.Moreover, Jun Wu had a layer of white armor protecting him—a thousand-year-old treasure crafted by his own hands, nearly impenetrable for defense.
He only needed to protect his head, while Hua Cheng's swift and accurate blade strikes allowed Xie Lin to find openings.
Together, the two almost covered every vital spot—throat, chest, back, abdomen, shoulder—but their opponent remained unmoved!Mu Qing shouted, "Give up!It’s useless!That white armor can’t possibly be penetrated!"Xie Lin said, "Attack his right rib!"The curved blade appeared again and struck where Xie Lin had instructed.
As expected, it was ineffective.Mu Qing continued shouting, "Didn't I tell you it's useless?Try pulling some distance apart first.
Let’s all fight him together!Fengxin!Where’s your arrow?"Feng Xin was climbing a nearby rock to grab the spirit fetus spewing saliva and love letters at him.
He replied, "Okay!Coming!"But Xie Lin said, "Keep going without stopping!Attack his right rib again!"Feng Xin had seen this armor before and exclaimed, "Sire!!That armor is incredibly strong;slicing hundreds of times might not even break through it!"Xie Lin retorted, "Just follow my lead!You don’t need so many strikes!"Hua Cheng followed Xie Lin’s instructions without question.
Suddenly, a crack appeared where the blade sliced.Erling's sword plunged in!Hua Cheng stood before Jun Wu with one hand gripping his sword, his cold gaze fixed on him.
Xie Lin was behind Jun Wu, and Anye took advantage to tie up Jun Wu’s hands so he couldn’t block or defend.Mu Qing exclaimed in surprise, "How can that be?How could the white armor of a thousand years be so easily sliced by Hua Cheng?"Xie Lin gripped Anye tightly as he stared at Jun Wu.
"…
Have you forgotten?Eight hundred years ago, we fought each other."Mu Qing and Feng Xin realized, "Second ascension?"That was indeed the case.
At that time, Xie Lin had challenged Jun Wu to a duel.Though both agreed not to hold back in their prior agreement, it was likely that Jun Wu still held back.However, Xie Lin had used all his strength.He had delivered over three thousand sword strikes, with more than four hundred hitting Jun Wu.
Among those, over one hundred hits were directed at this exact spot.Xie Lin persisted for a thousand strikes and finally broke through the seemingly impenetrable white armor, driving his sword into Jun Wu’s right rib.And now, Hua Cheng's blade was slicing through!Thus, eight hundred years ago, Xie Lin had left old wounds on that white armor.
It would only take three more cuts for Hua Cheng to break through!Moreover, Hua Cheng's blade was even sharper than expected, leaving a severe wound in his abdomen—a devastating blow indeed!Just as Xie Lin heaved a sigh of relief, the High Priest interrupted, "It’s useless!He…
will not feel it…"Xie Lin had remained unperturbed by being stabbed through with a long sword.
Jun Wu was no different.Feng Xin, who had already drawn his bow to target Jun Wu, lowered it again after hearing this.
"What?That means even if we hit him or miss, it’s useless?"Mu Qing said, "And I have another bad piece of news for you.
I suspect he might heal faster than the rate of damage.""What?"Xie Lin confirmed these facts.Jun Wu smiled and said, "You two are not bad."Even with such a horrific injury, anyone else would likely be cut in half.
But his wounds no longer bled, as Jun Wu continued, "In eight hundred years, I’ve been injured only once by you two—Blood Rain Flower, stay back!You don’t want to see me like this again."Xie Lin replied, "I won't turn around."Jun Wu struck with a palm, sending Xie Lin crashing to the ground.
Dazed and disoriented, Jun Wu lifted him up and asked, "Are you going to provoke my anger?Change your mind?"Xie Lin coughed out blood, replying, "No."A crack appeared in Jun Wu's previously gentle expression as he turned to Xie Lin with sudden malice.The High Priest’s face turned green.
