Chapter 793 Gold-Ranked Swords Orbit
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On a street lined with high-rises, Holy Blood and Moon Demon suddenly felt their bodies stiffening as they were executing their attack on Shi Feng. Their Basic Attributes also fell by another 20%, which, in turn, caused their Attack Speed to plummet.
Ultimately, even though Holy Blood and Moon Demon could execute movements without having to first process them through their minds, the average speed of their attacks still fell behind Shi Fengs.
The sound of metal ringing echoed across the street in rapid succession. Contrary to everyones expectations, Shi Feng blocked all of Holy Bloods and Moon Demons attacks, taking no damage whatsoever.
How is this possible?!
This unexpected development dumbfounded the spectators. They never expected the suppressive effect of Shi Fengs Law Projection to become stronger.
Originally, Holy Blood and Moon Demon were already experiencing an overall suppression of 20% because of Shi Fengs Law Projection. Now, it had increased to over 30%, creating a qualitative difference between them and Shi Feng in Attack Speed.
Moreover, besides Attack Speed, the Strength advantage Shi Feng originally had over Holy Blood also widened. As a result, Holy Blood was sent flying over 20 yards away after their clash, and his HP fell by over 20%.
How can his Law Projection be so strong? Moon Demons mind was mired in confusion as she looked at Shi Feng in disbelief.
Previously, the fact that Shi Fengs Law Projection could suppress her and Holy Blood by 20% despite them also having Advanced Law Projections was already astonishing. Now, Shi Fengs Law Projection could no longer be considered astonishing. It was utterly frightening.
Currently, the suppression they experienced was akin to the suppression an Advanced Law Projection would impose on a Basic Law Projection. The two were on completely different levels.
Moon! Retreat! When Holy Blood experienced the change in Shi Fengs Law Projection, he immediately understood that they were no longer a match for Shi Feng. They would only be adding more variables if they persisted in their fight.
Moon Demon nodded, similarly understanding that they couldnt afford to keep fighting with Shi Feng. If they continued their fight, all three of them would end up wasting precious Stamina and Concentration. While it would be beneficial if they could exhaust a huge threat like Shi Feng, the problem was that they couldnt do any damage to Shi Feng, whereas Shi Feng could deal considerable damage to them. This meant that they would ultimately lose and that it would be foolish to keep fighting Shi Feng.
Now, their best option would be to regroup with Daystar and work with her to eliminate Shi Feng. Otherwise, the Holy Guard Party would never win this match.
Do you think Ill let you leave so easily? When Shi Feng saw Holy Blood and Moon Demon intending to withdraw, he immediately executed Swords Orbit with his two swords.
Holy Blood and Moon Demon were two of the Sun Dynastys three strongest Holy Children. They were also among the three key combatants of the Holy Guard Party. So long as Shi Feng could eliminate them here, the match was as good as won.
Conversely, if Shi Feng allowed Holy Blood and Moon Demon to regroup with Daystar, even if he could now cast his Law Projection with the Pseudo-Goddess Law, he dared not say he could win with certainty.
Aside from being known as the Arbiter of Death, Daystar had also mastered two Advanced Laws, specifically the Law of Death and the Law of Time. This was a secret only a few people should be aware of in this timeline, and Shi Feng had only learned of it because Daystar had exhibited both Advanced Laws in the war between the two races.
Although Daystar had never shown herself capable of merging Advanced Laws, likely because she never learned the Goddess of Spaces Dark Moon Mana Technique, she should have no problem casting her Law Projection using two separate Advanced Laws. At that time, the suppressive effect Shi Fengs Law Projection could impose on her would be incredibly limited, and he would be fortunate if he could even suppress her by 10%.
Originally, Shi Feng had only considered using his Dual Advanced Law Projection to eliminate Moon Demon. He had not planned to reveal his fusion law. However, since Holy Blood decided to join the fight, Shi Feng decided he didnt need to conceal this trump card any longer.
Immediately, Shi Feng created countless sword lights around him, which, in turn, merged into dazzling stars that bombarded Holy Blood and Moon Demon.
Although Swords Orbit was only an Advanced Silver Combat Technique, it was the fastest sword technique in Shi Fengs repertoire. Additionally, it cost considerably less Concentration to execute Swords Orbit than it did to execute a more powerful technique like Dark Moon and Holy Annihilation.
It cost Shi Feng several times more Concentration to maintain his Pseudo-Goddess Law Projection than it did to maintain his Dual Advanced Law Projection. If he tried to execute Dark Moon or Holy Annihilation in this situation, his Concentration would run dry in the blink of an eye. After all, his Concentration was only at the Tier 6 Pseudo-Peak standard. It hadnt actually reached the Tier 6 Peak standard yet.
Hence, he could only afford to pair Swords Orbit with his Pseudo-Goddess Law Projection.
Furthermore, a Law Projection was originally intended to convert every aspect of the surrounding environment to benefit the user. Now that Shi Feng was casting his Law Projection with a Pseudo-Goddess Law, he could detect the flaws in his Swords Orbit.
When he developed Swords Orbit into an Advanced Silver Combat Technique, he had only refined it with the goal of pushing his body to its limits, and he had always felt that it was missing something. Unfortunately, he could never determine what exactly was missing. Now, though, thanks to his Pseudo-Goddess Law Projection, he finally understood what the Advanced-Silver Swords Orbit lackedintegration with and manipulation of the surrounding environment.
What a fast sword technique! Moon Demon was briefly astonished when she saw Shi Fengs Sword Orbit. However, immediately afterward, a smirk formed on her face. Its a pity it is lacking in power.
Shi Fengs Swords Orbit indeed possessed incredible speed. However, in terms of raw power, it couldnt even come close to Shi Fengs Holy Annihilation. Even with Shi Fengs Law Projection suppressing them by over 30%, Moon Demon and Holy Blood could still deflect all of Shi Fengs attacks without taking any damage.
After several dozen exchanges between the two sides, a deafening explosion suddenly came from a nearby plaza.
Someones fighting over there!
Almost simultaneously, Shi Feng, Holy Blood, and Moon Demon turned to look at a plaza roughly 3,000 yards away.
Nine players could be seen fighting in the dilapidated plaza, and they were none other than the other members of the Holy Guard and Verdant Rainbow Parties. Among them, Gentle Snow and Verdant Rainbow fought against Daystar, while Fervent Samsara, Heavy Abyss, and Death Wind each took on one of the Holy Guard Partys remaining members.
Currently, while Fervent Samsara, Heavy Abyss, and Death Wind were still holding their ground against their respective opponents, Gentle Snow and Verdant Rainbow were having trouble keeping up with Daystars onslaught, and it was evident they would not last much longer.
Daystar fought while wielding two ritual swords. The ritual swords behaved like whips in her hands, flexible and unpredictable. Daystar could also change their trajectories without any forewarning, so even Unthinking Realm experts would have a headache dealing with them, let alone individuals who had yet to reach the Unthinking Realm like Gentle Snow and Verdant Rainbow.
In reality, the only reason Gentle Snow and Verdant Rainbow could survive against Daystar until now was entirely because of Gentle Snows Basic Attributes and mastery over gravity. Without these two factors enabling her to withstand and redirect Daystars attacks, she and Verdant Rainbow would have died in the first few exchanges. Even so, mistakes were bound to happen if they did nothing but defend, and both of them now had less than 30% of their HPs remaining.
A chance!
Holy Bloods and Moon Demons eyes glimmered when they saw the current state of Gentle Snow and Verdant Rainbow. It was evident Gentle Snow and Verdant Rainbow were on their last breath. If they could kill these two women and regroup with Daystar, Shi Fengs fate would be sealed.
A chance? Thats only if you can live to take it!
When Shi Feng saw Holy Blood and Moon Demons excited behavior, a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes. Then, he suddenly started brandishing his swords in slow motion, swinging them along with the wind and space.
After executing Swords Orbit dozens of times in the environment created by his Pseudo-Goddess Law Projection, he finally understood how he could integrate Swords Orbit with the surrounding environment.
At the same time as Shi Feng started to execute the new and improved version of Swords Orbit, the sound of a system notification also rang in his ears.
System: Congratulations! You have developed Swords Orbit into a Gold Combat Technique!
TL Notes:
a) Their Basic Attributes also fell by another 20%...
b) Originally, Holy Blood and Moon Demon were already experiencing an overall suppression of 20% because of Shi Fengs Law Projection. Now, it had increased to over 30%...
I think the 20% in a) is calculated based on their current Basic Attributes, which is at 80% of their original. So, the second 20% reduction would translate to 16% of their original Basic Attributes, which would put their final Basic Attributes at 64% [100-20-16] of their original Basic Attributes.
