"Broken Skin, are you okay?" Zhen Shan, who had been knocked to the ground, shook the Sword Maiden in his arms.
Broken Skin's physical body had suffered severe damage because his shield had been destroyed. His clothes had been torn to shreds, and his body was covered in wounds caused by the shrapnel. His tender flesh was exposed, and he looked extremely terrifying.
Casually speaking, although her skin and flesh were torn open, the broken skin did not bleed … because the Sword Maiden did not have blood.
"I'm okay!"
Broken Skin shook his head and struggled to stand up to continue fighting. However, Bright Moon's order had reached his ears.
"I understand, Little Bright Moon!"
Broken Skin was ashamed. If he had listened to Bright Moon's order, he would not have been hit by that sudden shot and lost most of his combat power.
Therefore, Broken Skin did not have the face to disobey Bright Moon's order. He obediently transformed back into his sword form and flew back to where Bright Moon was.
"Thank you, Broken Skin!"
The Skin Shatterer automatically flew back to Bright Moon's side. There were many dents and cracks on the originally sharp blade. This was a sign that the durability of the sword had been reduced by more than 80%. Once the durability reached zero, the Sword Maiden would completely break. It was unlikely that she would die, but she would drop two or three ranks.
"Go back to the scabbard and rest!" Bright Moon sheathed Broken Skin.
The scabbard was equivalent to the Sword Maiden's personal space. As long as the Sword Maiden had some durability left, she only needed to put Broken Skin back into the scabbard to slowly recover its durability.
"Toad, An Ning, let Zhen Shan and Crimson Blood Demon return to their swords!
They have lost a lot of energy in their shields. We'll need their strength in the next battle, "Guhan said.
"How can we do that? Won't you be the only one fighting the Dragon Yuan Kou …" Song Hama objected loudly. However, when she turned around, Guhan had already disappeared from her side.
…
"System: Crimson Blood Demon has received 856 damage."
"Oh no, my shield is running out of energy!"
During the battle, the Crimson Blood Demon was unlucky enough to be hit by one of King Kong's hand cannons. What was even more unfortunate was that the cannons had a critical hit effect, instantly draining the energy of the Crimson Blood Demon 856's shield.
The Crimson Blood Demon was not like Zhen Shan, who was a Confucian Sword Maiden with frighteningly high defensive capabilities.
On the contrary, among all the Sword Ladies, the Demonic Path's Sword Ladies were second only to the Murderous Path's Sword Ladies. The loss of 856 points directly caused the Crimson Blood Demon's shield to drop to less than 500 points. At most, it could only take two more shots from the hand cannon.
"Crimson Blood Demon, hide behind me, quick!" Zhen Shan also noticed Crimson Blood Demon's predicament and immediately shouted for her to hide behind him.
"No, Zhenshan, you don't have much energy left. You won't be able to hold on for much longer …" Although Zhenshan's skin was thick, his energy shield was high, and he could even activate Shield Wall to block damage.
However, she was also the one who suffered the most damage from King Kong. Zhenshan had withstood several rounds of King Kong's attacks, and his shield energy was now less than 500 points.
"It's okay, Zhenshan's shield can be refreshed in 25 seconds, it's okay!
25 seconds is enough! "After a shield was broken, it could be refreshed, but the time required was different.
As a Confucian Sword Lady, Zhenshan needed 25 seconds.
During these 25 seconds, without the protection of a shield, Zhenshan had to use his body's durability to block King Kong's attacks.
Zhenshan had a strong defense with a shield, but without a shield, he was not much stronger than Skin Crusher. A small shot from King Kong's hand cannon could reduce Zhenshan's durability by about 20%.
Unless it was a critical moment, the sword wielder would rather suffer defeat than use his body to block the enemy's attack. This was common sense.
"You two, get out of my way."
Just as Zhenshan was about to sacrifice his durability and stall for 25 seconds to refresh his shield and continue fighting, a rather arrogant order rang in their ears.
"It's you?"
"It's you?"
Zhenshan and Crimson Blood Demon said at the same time. They realized that Guhan, who had been commanding from the back, had come to the center of the battlefield and stood between them and King Kong.
"What a joke, how can I let a weak human fight for me!"
Zhenshan felt insulted. She was a Sword Lady, and with her pride, how could she allow a human to stand in front of her. "Human, go down and let your Sword Lady come up!"
"My Sword Lady is here!" Guhan raised the Qingpin Sword in his hand, "I'll fight with my Sword Lady."
"Are you kidding … You …" Zhenshan wanted to say something, but Crimson Blood Demon pressed on her wrist.
"He's not kidding, I can feel a strong power from him!"
The blood mist around Crimson Blood Demon quickly rolled, which meant that Crimson Blood Demon's mind was not calm. "I'm afraid that this man is a Sword Master."
"Sword Master!!!!" Zhenshan was stunned, and she muttered to herself, "A Sword Master that's rarer than a Spiritual Sword Lady?
… This is my first time seeing one. "
Sword Master!
Sword wielders that were rarer than Spiritual Sword Lady referred to those who relied on the Sword Lady's own swordsmanship and ability to fight.
They were Sword Ladies that wielded swords, and sword wielders that relied on their own swordsmanship to fight.
This was because their control over the Sword Lady was further advanced.
The relationship between the sword wielder and the Sword Lady was more like that of an equal friend. Only the Sword Master, who controlled the sword and fought with the sword, was the one who truly controlled and ruled the Sword Lady. Thus, he was respectfully addressed as the Sword Master by all the sword wielder.
However, Sword Masters were never the mainstream among sword wielders, and they only made up an extremely small portion of sword wielders. The number of famous Sword Masters that were above Famous Sword Rank did not exceed the number of fingers on two hands. This was because becoming a Sword Master was simply too difficult, and it required too much talent!
"Zhenshan, return to the sword immediately!"
"Crimson Blood Demon, return to the sword!"
At this moment, Toad and An Ning's command was transmitted to Zhenshan and Crimson Blood Demon through the sword mark.
"Let's retreat, Zhenshan!" Crimson Blood Demon said indifferently.
"But this Sword Master is just an ancient sword, and his opponent is a Dragon Rank that even we can't deal with …"
"Since he has the guts to stand in front of us, then he must have his own methods. There's no need for us to care about him!" With that, Crimson Blood Demon's blood mist dispersed, and it turned back into the Crimson Blood Demon Sword, flying towards An Ning.
"Sword Master …" Zhenshan sighed, and no longer persisted in the battle. He followed behind the Crimson Blood Demon Sword and returned to the sword as well. Thus, only Guhan was left on the battlefield, standing in front of King Kong, facing her eight pitch-black cannons.
…
"Someone else changed?"
King Kong suddenly realized that the three women who could transform into swords were nowhere to be found. His opponent had also changed to a weird-looking fellow.
"Hey, are you together with the three women that knocked over King Kong's Black Tea?" Before the battle, King Kong needed to confirm that his opponent was his enemy, in case he accidentally hurt innocent people.
"To be precise, I'm their leader."
Guhan's face was completely different from the scowling face he had when facing Ming Yue back then. He smiled and said to King Kong, "You can say that we're together."
"That means we're going to fight again!"
The main cannon behind King Kong rotated and aimed at Guhan's head. "Go to hell! Return King Kong's Black Tea to King Kong!"
"Kaboom!"
While they were talking, King Kong's main cannon had finished its cooldown. The muzzles spat out flames at the same time, and eight menacing cannonballs rushed toward Guhan at high speed.
At that moment, Guhan had consumed the 100 Sword Element Pills he had obtained from the initial dungeon, and his Sword Element Value had increased to 109 Quark.
However, the Qing Pin Sword's Guardian Ratio was only a pathetic 0.118. Multiplied by Guhan's 109 Sword Element Value, his personal shield only had 11 points of energy. With such a small amount of shield energy, even a graze from King Kong's cannonball would cause it to collapse immediately, revealing Guhan's mortal body.
"Nine Swords of Mysterious Heaven, Sword Curtain Array."
Facing the incoming cannon rain, Guhan's expression was calm. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stepped out with his left foot, dodging a cannonball that was aimed at his left leg.
Then, he bent down and dodged another cannonball that was aimed at his chest.
These were the only two cannonballs that could threaten Guhan. Guhan did not even need to dodge the rest, as they could not even touch Guhan's body.
"He actually dodged them!"
King Kong was dumbfounded as he looked at the guy in front of him. His dense volley of shots was actually dodged by this guy. This was simply absurd.
What King Kong did not know was that the "Nine Swords of Mysterious Heaven, Sword Curtain Array" was a sword technique from the "Nine Swords of Mysterious Heaven", which was passed down in Guhan's family. After using the Sword Curtain Array, it was as if Guhan's eyes and body had been turned on, allowing him to dodge extremely fast attacks.
"79 Quark left!"
Guhan silently calculated the remaining Sword Element in his body. The Nine Swords of Mysterious Heaven was a sword technique that could only be used by the sword wielder. Every time it was used, a certain amount of the sword wielder's Sword Element would be consumed. Guhan only had a pitiful 109 Sword Element in his body. Every time he used it, he had to be meticulous in order to minimize the consumption.
"Now it's my turn!" Guhan's figure floated, and he was completely entangled with King Kong.
