After clashing with Lu Zhenyang so many times, the Zhen Qi that I had just recovered was about to be used up.
I looked at Lu Zhenyang from afar through the fierce attack. His condition didn't look too good. Even though his face was covered by the silver mask, his eyes seemed to have lost a lot of vigor. It seemed that this attack had consumed a lot of his energy.
If I could block this attack, then Lu Zhenyang wouldn't be able to do anything to me for a period of time. That way, I would be able to buy some time for the fatty.
The only problem now was, could I block this attack?
Lu Zhenyang's face was playful and he didn't rush towards me. It was obvious that he was confident in this attack.
Even with his strength, he had spent a lot of energy to use this attack. Its power was undeniable. My heart sank but I didn't have time to think about it. I took a deep breath and prepared to raise my hand to block the attack.
Right at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in my head.
"Brat, don't rush. You won't be able to block this attack. Empty your body and cross the Xuan Yuan Sword with the Armor Stripping Sword. I will control your body!"
I was stunned but immediately reacted. This was the sound of the Armor Stripping Sword!
During the Allheaven Competition, he had helped me once before going into a deep sleep. After that, I had called out to him many times but didn't receive any response. Who would have thought that he would wake up now?
Last time, he had controlled my body and helped me defeat my opponent. How could I not trust him?
Moreover, I was facing Lu Zhenyang. Without his help, I wouldn't have any chance of winning. Rather than losing, it would be better to fight for life and trust in the Armor Stripping Sword.
Thus, after I reacted, I immediately stopped what I was doing and retracted the last bit of Zhen Qi in my body.
The situation was critical and I didn't have time to ask anything. After I retracted my Zhen Qi, I followed his instructions and emptied my body. I crossed the Xuan Yuan Sword and the Armor Stripping Sword.
At this moment, the sound of armor being removed rang out in my head again. "Brat, the Xuan Yuan Sword in your hand is an ancient godly weapon, yet you're using it as a fire stick. It's such a waste of your talent … Look carefully, my spiritual sense can only recover enough for one attack. How much you can comprehend depends on you!"
After I said that, the [Armor Stripping Sword] instantly took control of my body. Circulating the remaining Zhen Yuan in my body, I brandished the Xuan Yuan Sword in one hand and the [Armor Stripping Sword] in the other. With the two of them working together, I looked like a butterfly dancing in the air.
The body of the Xuan-Yuan Sword was bright yellow, and every time it swept through the air, it would sprinkle down an expanse of fierce light.
As for the [Armor Stripping Sword], after a period of nourishment, it had already recovered eighty to ninety percent of its power. Even though it wasn't very eye-catching when placed next to the Xuan-Yuan Sword, every time it made a move, the blade of the sword would explode with silver stars. It was extremely extraordinary.
The [Armor Stripping Sword]'s movements were extremely quick. It looked like there was no order to it, but there was a hidden mystery behind it. My gaze was glued to the two treasured swords. Just as I was feeling that it was mysterious, the [Armor Stripping Sword] let out a light shout and the two treasured swords merged together. My Zhen Qi took advantage of the situation and surged out, splitting into two parts, one big and one small. The big part flowed on the Xuan-Yuan Sword while the small part remained on the [Armor Stripping Sword].
Even though there wasn't much Zhen Qi left in my body, under the [Armor Stripping Sword]'s ferocious activation, it rapidly surged out. In a short moment, it was completely released. The Zhen Qi on the two treasured swords had reached its peak.
At that moment, the black cloud that Lu Zhenyang had activated was less than a meter away from me. Just as it was about to reach me, the [Armor Stripping Sword] controlled my hands to push to the sides. The two swords, one gold and one silver, were like two gold and silver dragons that spiraled out. I could faintly hear the roars of the two dragons, one big and one small.
Following the two dragon roars, a lustrous white barrier formed by sword qi suddenly appeared in front of me. As it moved forward, it continuously expanded to both sides. At first, it was only able to cover my entire body. In the blink of an eye, it had expanded to a dozen meters. Even if ten more fatties were to be stuffed into the barrier, there would still be space.
Lu Zhenyang's attack was extremely fast, but the speed of the barrier was even faster. Even though the black cloud had already arrived in front of me, before it could react, it was already enveloped by the barrier.
The black cloud continued to rumble within the barrier. Its aura didn't decrease at all, but it couldn't advance any further. It was like boiling water meeting ice, dissipating. In a short moment, the two seemed to dissolve and dissipate.
I looked at Lu Zhenyang. He obviously didn't think that I would be able to block that attack. The playfulness in his eyes instantly disappeared and was replaced with rage. Unfortunately, he was continuously injured and it seemed that he wouldn't be able to make a move for a while. He could only watch on helplessly.
The danger had been resolved, but [Armor Stripping Sword] didn't fall unconscious like he usually did. Instead, he sighed in my heart, "It's because your cultivation isn't high enough. If you were at the same level as that evil being, he would have already died under the Xuan Yuan Sword's attack."
It would be best if I could kill Lu Zhenyang, but I also understood that under the absolute difference in power, it wasn't easy for [Armor Stripping Sword] to do that. Thus, I didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes. I hurriedly said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I'm already very satisfied with this result!"
"You …"
[Armor Stripping Sword] didn't reply to my words. Instead, he suddenly sighed. I didn't know what he was thinking, but his voice sounded helpless. It was as if he was talking to himself. He opened his mouth and sighed, "Emotions and love are the most worrisome things.
I don't know if I was right to let you practice the Emotional Sword Path … "
He seemed to be asking me, but it also seemed like he was talking to himself. Just as I was thinking about how to reply, the fatty's voice sounded from behind me.
"Third Baby, it's done!
I've finally done it! "
Following that voice, the bronze statues that had been silently moving finally moved. Their massive bodies started to move, as if they were ferocious tigers that had been hiding for a long time and had finally revealed their fangs.
I hurriedly turned my head to look. At that moment, the fatty was sitting in the middle of the Nine Palaces Formation. He was panting while his hands continuously formed hand seals. It was obvious that he was controlling the formation.
As the fatty's hands moved faster and faster, the statues started to move. The power of the formation surged to the sky, and it was extremely majestic.
While I was pleasantly surprised, I glanced at Lu Zhenyang from the corner of my eyes.
At that moment, the formation was completed. He seemed to feel a strong sense of danger. He didn't even care about his consumption of energy and directly pounced at me. It seemed like he wanted to use his physical body to fight me.
After the Ten Absolute Formation was set up, our auras completely changed. I wasn't anxious anymore, but Lu Zhenyang was like a cornered beast that was still fighting.
A mad beast's attack power was the strongest, so there was no need for me to do anything else. Just as I was about to dodge, the fatty's voice spread over.
"Third Baby, don't worry about him. Just put him in the formation and give him to me.
Go and save Wu Yue first. I'm afraid she can't hold on any longer. "
The fatty's mind was clear. I was originally prepared to dodge the mad Lu Zhenyang. After hearing the fatty's words, I naturally didn't hesitate anymore. I turned around and dashed past the bronze statues at the side.
Our current positions were in the Nine Palaces Formation, so Lu Zhenyang didn't hesitate and directly charged at me like a mad dog. He wasn't as calm as he had been before.
Under the fatty's control, the bronze statues in front of me quickly dodged and cleared a path for me. However, as Lu Zhenyang moved forward, countless bronze statues appeared and blocked his way.
Lu Zhenyang's speed was originally much faster than mine. However, with the fatty's interference, he couldn't even use 50% of his full speed. The distance between us grew further and further. In the end, I couldn't even see his figure through the many bronze statues. I could only hear an extremely angry roar behind me.
At that moment, I finally relaxed. With Lu Zhenyang's current state, he shouldn't be able to cause any more waves in the Ten Absolute Formation.
