Free Web NovelIn Zhang Yi and Lancelot's first direct collision, Zhang Yi held a slight advantage, but that edge was quickly neutralized by Agravain's healing ability.
Both found each other's capabilities troublesome, realizing they were up against a difficult opponent.
In Zhang Yi's right eye, light distorted as Divine Destruction rapidly activated, annihilating all the massive vines trying to approach him!
He refused to let the vines spread into his Dimensional Space, where they could bring the Fallen Ashen Flames and corrode his domain.
He wouldn't give Lancelot a single opening.
After that exchange, Lancelot's gaze also grew much more cautious.
"This 'Absolute Defense' isn't just talk. He feels like a warrior clad in thousands of layers of armor!"
"Only by using my strongest attack, the Sword of Conquest, can I hope to break through his defenses. But even then, it only destroyed seven layers of spatial gates. And judging by his reaction, it didn't even faze him!"
"But he also has opportunities to strike at me."
"The one who attacks first is more likely to expose their own flaws. I see now!"
Zhang Yi's mind was equally unsettled.
A slash like that had to condense void power to be unleashed, meaning it was a skill with limited uses for him too. He couldn't spam it endlessly.
In a pure exchange of offense, he was definitely no match for Lancelot.
But fortunately, his three thousand Dimensional Gates gave him enough room to maneuver.
"Relying solely on my own abilities, my chances of beating this guy are less than 20%. His two supporters are just too troublesome."
"But the odds of me losing don't even reach 5%. The chance of him breaching my defenses is also extremely low."
Two opponents, both equally skilled in offense and defense with exceptional combat instincts, clashing in a battle that was undoubtedly an unpredictable stalemate.
Yet no matter what was going through their minds, the fight never stalled for a second.
Zhang Yi and Hua Hua attacked Lancelot from the left and right simultaneously, refusing to give him any breathing room to devise a counterstrategy.
Lancelot swung the Sword in the Tree, the massive forest thicket constantly being destroyed and then reborn through his power, madly contesting space in the palace with Zhang Yi and Hua Hua.
"If it were just Chaos alone, I could relax some of my defenses and use absolute power to shatter his defenses first!"
"But there's also that troublesome feline on the sidelines. While it can't pose a fatal threat to me, the moment I focus entirely on Chaos, it will definitely have a chance to kill me!"
"What a hassle."
Boom!
Hua Hua fired a massive high-energy particle beam at Lancelot.
Lancelot, growing irritated, swung his giant sword down fiercely, and the Fallen Ashen Flames spread wildly.
But the instant he showed killing intent toward Hua Hua, Zhang Yi on the other side decisively seized the opportunity. He withdrew his Long Sword and slashed downward with all his might!
A massive black blade light, like a crescent moon, fell from the ceiling, arcing toward Lancelot's head!
Lancelot had no choice but to divert his focus, summoning a thick mass of vines as a buffer.
Layer upon layer of enormous vines consumed the power of Zhang Yi's sword strike.
But soon, a sharp crack sounded beneath Hua Hua's paws.
It looked down to see the white floor beneath it shatter instantly as hundreds of green vines shot up like venomous snakes, racing toward its body!
Barrier Stones could resist the impact of abilities, but the growth of plants could leave marks on even the hardest surfaces.
Hua Hua's fur immediately stood on end. The entire cat turned into a black porcupine, every single hair rising like steel needles!
The vines scraped across its body, nearly cutting it, and countless steel needles clattered to the ground with a sharp "ding-ding-clang."
Hua Hua was furious. It roared at Lancelot, unleashing a breath attack!
Zhang Yi sheathed Holy Judgment back into the Scabbard, void power beginning to gather as he assumed a drawing stance.
Through that last attack, Lancelot had detected a change in Zhang Yi's offensive power.
"His powerful slashes need charging to execute, and every time he uses one, his strength weakens for a while afterward."
"So I just need to seize the gap between his strikes to break through his defenses."
Having grasped this, the smile at the corner of Lancelot's mouth grew much richer.
The Sword in the Tree erupted into a forest of foliage, slowing the combined assault of Zhang Yi and Hua Hua. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
By the time the power reached Lancelot, a significant portion of its lethality had already been worn down, and the rest couldn't bypass his protective shield.
Even if he got hurt, Agravain could quickly heal any non-fatal wound.
Trinity. A combination with virtually no blind spots.
Zhang Yi, on the other hand, was constrained by the narrow confines of the Holy Spirit Hall and the Barrier Stones limiting his spatial traversal ability, greatly restricting his mobility.
Consequently, his most prized long-range attack method was rendered useless.
Zhang Yi's expression grew heavier. At this moment, he could already feel the situation turning against him.
And then, Lancelot, using the cover of the forest thicket, rapidly charged toward him!
Zhang Yi didn't hesitate. His right index finger aimed forward like a pistol, and a void sphere condensed at his fingertip, rapidly expanding into a massive black void orb that spiraled forward!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Sword in the Tree swelled rapidly, extending countless vines that instantly blocked Zhang Yi's line of sight.
The intense spatial fluctuations even prevented Zhang Yi from quickly pinpointing Lancelot's location.
Zhang Yi realized Lancelot's intention.
In a space that wasn't particularly large, Lancelot, who was stronger in close combat, could use the thicket to close in on Zhang Yi.
In their first clash, Lancelot had seemed to come out on the losing end, but he had also gathered intelligence on Zhang Yi's melee capabilities.
This time, he was definitely prepared!
Just as Zhang Yi had anticipated, a massive gap suddenly appeared in the thicket to his upper right, and Lancelot's figure emerged from within.
His body was wreathed in terrifying Fallen Ashen Flames, and the combined form of the Sword of Conquest and the Sword in the Tree in his right hand exuded an oppressive psychic pressure as it came slashing down at Zhang Yi!
Zhang Yi's right hand swiftly grasped the Long Sword in the Scabbard.
His swordsmanship was already fairly proficient, but according to Liang Yue, it was best not to engage in a head-on clash against a true master.
Still, to survive, he had to practice some ultimate moves for critical moments.
He might not be an expert with a blade, but a single drawing technique, combined with the charged attack of Condensing the Void, was something he had mastered to perfection.
So, facing Lancelot's sudden strike, Zhang Yi drew his sword in an instant and slashed at him with all his might!
