Chapter 235 235 Separating from Three

Fine, fragmented blue sword blades rapidly approached. Perhaps due to their dispersion and insufficient power, these blades weren't particularly fast, only approaching the speed of sound.

With Li Cheng颐's eyesight and reaction speed, he could see them clearly.

*Whoosh!*

He suddenly raised his hand.

*Crack!*

A green arc of electricity, visible only to him, shot out with a bang, instantly striking the mass of blades in mid-air.

The arc exploded, engulfing all the blades.

Then, in a flurry of pitter-patter sounds, the blades scattered to the ground, all reduced to scrap metal, falling into the grass in front of Li Cheng颐.

"!!??"

"Wha... what's going on!?" Chen Tingyun floated in mid-air, his eyes widening instantly.

"Is that some kind of one-time-use special bomb? And his timing is so precise!?" His expression turned grave.

Clearly, this opponent had come prepared, not just rushing in to accept the duel.

Everyone had their trump cards.

What just happened was merely an appetizer. Those blades were just separated modules of the Feiyi, the main course was next!

"Lingxiao! Piercing Mode!"

His expression hardened.

"Synergistic State: Xing Yi (Star Shift)! Finish him!"

"Activating Synergistic State, Xing Yi (Star Shift) initiated."

Dense, circuit-like golden纹路 lit up on the blue longsword's blade.

*Buzz.*

In an instant, a blinding white light erupted behind the blade.

Suddenly accelerating from one to three times the speed of sound in a second.

In the blink of an eye, it traversed hundreds of meters, transforming into a blue line stabbing straight at Li Cheng颐's chest.

*Crack.*

Li Cheng颐 swung his sword again, another green lightning bolt flying out ahead of time, automatically homing in on the Feiyi.

*Bang!*

Unexpectedly, the Feiyi decomposed again into a mass of fragmented blades, just enough to absorb and deflect the green lightning arc.

The entire process was like a cicada shedding its skin.

"?!"

Li Cheng颐 was slightly surprised. He had thought the green lightning heavy sword would be surprisingly effective, but he hadn't expected his opponent to be no pushover.

Clearly, he was a seasoned veteran with various countermeasures.

But that was fine, it was a good chance to try other methods.

Immediately, he drew his sword with one hand, the golden longsword materializing in his grip. With his superior eyesight and prediction, he instantly slashed downward.

*Chi!*

Seeing that the golden sword was about to strike the Feiyi, the Feiyi suddenly shifted downward by a dozen centimeters, changing its attack to target his abdomen.

This was Xing Yi (Star Shift), the unique and powerful Synergistic State of Zhongyi University. Before the final impact, it could perform an absolute shift in position.

This would completely avoid the opponent's blocking and parrying, allowing it to attack weaknesses and vital points, securing victory.

A hint of a cold smile flashed in Chen Tingyun's eyes. Seeing the opponent react so carelessly to this attack, he knew he had won.

The previous inexplicable attack had caused his Feiyi to automatically shed its shell and activate the emergency stasis module. But it didn't matter, the outcome was still the same.

This kind of opponent, who had clearly faced Xiaohui's Xing Yi (Star Shift) before, still hadn't learned his lesson and dared to be so...

*Clang!!*

A crisp collision sound echoed from afar.

The Feiyi Lingxiao (Soaring Cloud), like a broken-winged bird, was struck squarely on its body by the golden longsword, cut in half and falling to the ground.

Under the impact of the massive force, the golden sword snapped, and a faint crack appeared on the surface of Lingxiao (Soaring Cloud).

"How... how is that possible!?" Chen Tingyun's expression froze. Soon, his eyes turned grim. "But do you think that counts as winning!?"

"Looks like... I have to get serious..."

*Chi!*

Another dark red short sword shot out from behind him.

"Chixiao (Crimson Cloud), Synergistic State activated! Full power!" Chen Tingyun's expression was ferocious as he waved his hand, pointing downward.

"Go!!"

*Clang!*

Another loud noise.

Chixiao (Crimson Cloud) crashed, landing and shaking for a while before shutting down.

"Mingxiao (Nether Cloud)! Give it to me at full power!!" Chen Tingyun's eyes began to turn red.

Another black sword shot out from behind him.

*Chi!*

The black sword tried to sneak attack from behind, but after approaching ten meters, it was like a fledgling returning to its nest, curving around and flying to Li Cheng颐's sword, crashing head-on.

*Clang!*

"Baixiao (White Cloud)!!"

*Clang!*

"Jinxiao (Golden Cloud)!!"

*Clang!*

The last golden Feiyi, because it was too fast, actually slowed down and waited for a while, waiting for Li Cheng颐 to chop off the Baixiao (White Cloud) in front before it flew up to be chopped...

*Clatter.*

Fragments of the broken Feiyi fell to the ground...

Li Cheng颐 looked at the pile of fragments on the ground, and his heart was filled with shock.

He was really rich...

To think one person would possess so many Feiyi. This was simply the fighter jet of the rich second generation! No wonder Zhongyi University was so confident this time, daring to gamble with them...

To be honest, using the Mandate - Blade of Absolute Hit for so long had left him feeling a little tired.

The consumption of Flower Utterance was significant. It didn't have a cooldown, and could be maintained as long as his mental and physical strength could support it.

He estimated that with his current energy, he could probably maintain it for about ten minutes.

And while this Flower Utterance was powerful, the determination of the first strike required continuous sheathing and unsheathing of the sword.

Only the first strike after drawing the sword counted as an absolute hit. As long as Flower Utterance was activated, with a golden fire circle covering the surroundings, and the target was identified by consciousness, it would definitely hit!

Therefore, it needed to be used in conjunction with the green electric heavy sword during the gaps.

It could be said that the only thing this Flower Utterance feared was a strength-based opponent who fought head-on.

Everything else, those relying on speed and dodging, were almost completely countered.

In other words, as long as their strength was inferior to his, they would inevitably fall into the quagmire of head-on fighting.

And the only way to be immune to this Flower Utterance technique was to have strength higher than his. To withstand it head-on!

Of course, if he could prevent him from even being able to identify and lock onto the target, it could also achieve the effect.

But with his current comprehensive qualities, it was practically impossible for such an opponent to appear in reality.

With the final Feiyi falling and breaking...

Chen Tingyun in mid-air fell silent.

He stared blankly at Li Cheng颐 in the distance below, his face flushed red, his body trembling.

*Pfft!*

Suddenly, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

Then, he fell from mid-air like a broken-winged bird, plunging headfirst into the forest.

*Bang.*

The level five force field still dutifully protected the safety of his body.

But, everything was useless now...

Because apart from the first Feiyi, the rest were borrowed from other people temporarily, just in case of an emergency at this time.

But now...

"Senior Brother Chen!!" Li Shenhui exclaimed, rushing over.

Because it was a secret duel, the others had no idea what was happening at this time...

They just watched Chen Tingyun attacking and attacking, and then suddenly he fell down, not knowing what had happened.

But Liu Tongbei vaguely seemed to guess something. He narrowed his eyes at the distant forest, as if he could see Li Cheng颐 standing calmly in place, slowly wiping his green electric heavy sword.

"Amazing... he can't even see through his techniques..." He carefully thought about many possible routines to achieve the effect before his eyes, but none of them fit.

'Could it be... close-range Feiyi!?' Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

There were also Feiyi masters who specialized in close combat, but very few.

Because the danger of close-range Feiyi was extremely high, and the difficulty was too great, so if any Feiyi master dared to call themselves close-range, they must be top experts.

It wasn't the kind of routine where some Feiyi masters carried a set of close-range emergency weapons on their backs, but pure experts who used close combat throughout the entire process and fought against powerhouses like Complete Forms.

"It seems the outcome has been decided." He lit a cigarette and took a satisfying puff.

He didn't have a good impression of these arrogant students from Zhongyi University.

On the other hand, the members of Destiny Garden were all very sensible, and there were big shots to latch onto.

Because of his previous actions of taking care of Rainbow Candy, he had received a meritorious award for a small job he did last time, which showed how fast and high the returns were.

"Senior Brother Chen!! What's wrong with you!?" At this time, Li Shenhui's cries came from a distance.

Liu Tongbei shook his head, and a Feiyi that looked like a surfboard flew out from behind him, carrying him towards that side.

Soon he approached, only to see that Chen Tingyun was lying blankly on the ground, his eyes vacant, his mouth full of blood, and a level five force field was still intact around him, but obviously, his injury at this time did not come from the outside, but from within.

"Now, does it count as my win?"

Li Cheng颐 walked out of the bushes from the forest not far away.

His purple flower scale armor was intact, completely different from Chen Tingyun who was lying on the ground.

"No! I haven't... lost yet!!" Chen Tingyun suddenly reacted.

He gritted his teeth and climbed to his feet, reaching back and pulling out a black military dagger clipped to his waist.

*Buzz.*

The blade of the dagger vibrated at high speed like a saw.

He still had the level five force field to protect him! There was still a chance! The opponent definitely couldn't break through the force field protection!

Therefore!!

*Crack!*

The green electric light instantly streaked across the air, automatically converging and landing on the force field around Chen Tingyun.

In Li Cheng颐's view, he could clearly see the green electric arc continuously splitting and spreading on the surface of the force field.

*Pfft.*

The force field shattered.

Like a soap bubble, it burst silently, disappearing completely.

The remaining green electric arc landed on Chen Tingyun, instantly causing a puff of green smoke to rise from the black dagger in his hand.

Large cracks appeared on the blade surface of the dagger, and the vibration of the blade instantly stopped, completely turning it into an ordinary knife.

"What exactly is this!?" Chen Tingyun completely couldn't understand.

He held the dagger in his hand blankly, his eyes as if he were dreaming, filled with confusion and disbelief.

It wasn't just him.

Li Shenhui and Liu Tongbei on the side were both dumbfounded and shocked.

Just like that.

In an instant.

They seemed to hear some kind of electrical sound. Then the force field on Chen Tingyun's body was gone.

Along with the dagger in his hand being ruined.

"It should be some kind of special weapon similar to an electromagnetic disruption bomb!" Liu Tongbei quickly deduced, his eyes solemn.

"But this power is too strong... amazing! Even a level five force field can be blown up in an instant. It seems the technical power behind the Thug is far beyond previous estimates..."

So far, he felt even more that his decision to stand on the side of Destiny Garden was correct.

Even he was so shocked, Li Shenhui was completely unable to understand.

She looked blankly at the stunned Chen Tingyun, and then at the Thug standing not far away.

Everything was like a dream. Ten minutes ago, everything was still good...

"Still fighting?" Li Cheng颐 asked in a deep voice.

The power of the green electric heavy sword really satisfied him. This thing was simply a great killer against inanimate objects. Although the material itself was fragile and easily broken, it was still easy to use.

In addition, the second Flower Utterance of Sword Orchid Ultimate Form, Mandate, was also very easy to use. Except for the slightly higher consumption.

When not wearing the Ultimate Form flower scale armor, the traces of the fire circle were very weak and inconspicuous.

And as long as he constantly turned off the fire circle, and as long as he prolonged the process from drawing the sword to releasing the sword, he could enter a special state where he was absolutely not afraid of any ranged weapons.

This was equivalent to exploiting a bug in Flower Utterance.
