Chapter 1236: Breaking the Formation and Fatal Points
The Overlord Spear in Duanmu Sheng’s hand expanded several times in size. The two purple dragons swam back and forth along the Overlord Spear.
The fierce beasts hidden in the corners were frightened and fled in a hurry.
Although Duanmu Sheng was fighting the six Void Chest tribesmen alone, he was not at a disadvantage at all.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong did not immediately step forward to watch. Instead, they hovered in the air and watched.
In a way, this could be considered a test for Duanmu Sheng. No one in the Evil Sky Pavilion was more hardworking than him; it was unfortunate that diligence was far from enough. Compared to Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai, his actual combat experience was too little. After all, real battles were usually life-or-death battles.
“Scorching Field Hundred Strikes!” The longer Duanmu Sheng fought, the bolder he became. He did not retreat from his opponents’ terrifying defenses. Instead, he increased the force of his attacks.
“Thousand waves!” Duanmu Sheng stabbed at Gore’s abdomen. The energy spears increased in numbers, and they attacked violently like a storm.
They were so dazzling that the others sighed in admiration.
“T-third Senior Brother, aren’t you tired?” Little Yuan’er asked as she tentatively poked her head out from behind Lu Zhou. The little Fire Phoenix that was standing on her shoulder peeked out as well, mirroring her movements.
Yu Shangrong turned around and said with a faint smile, “Third Junior Brother had been practicing his spear techniques with the four elders all year around. Moreover, Elder Hua’s defenses have increased greatly after master bestowed him the Square Box. In terms of experiences with attacking opponents with such high defenses, even I am inferior to him…”
Yu Zhenghai also nodded and said, “You’re right. I didn’t expect Third Junior Brother to improve so quickly over such a short time.”
Little Yuan ‘er looked at the battle and asked tentatively, “Then, can Third Senior win this battle?”
“This…”
Although Duanmu Sheng was not at a disadvantage, it was extraordinarily difficult to defeat these five or six Void Chest tribesmen.
Bang!
Duanmu Sheng leaped into the air at this time. The purple dragons continued to swim around the Overlord Spear as he spun 180 degrees before he swooped down.
“Imperfect Divine Intervention.” The energy spears seemed to gain corporeal forms as they gathered and shot toward the head of one of the Void Chest tribesmen.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The series of energy spears landed, pressing the Void Chest tribesman’s body half into the ground.
At the same time, the other Void Chest tribesmen took advantage of this moment to surround and attack.
With this, Duanmu Sheng swung his Overlord Spear horizontally, sweeping the Void Chest tribesmen away.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The five Void Chest tribesmen retreated in the air. As soon as they retreated, the void on their chests shone again.
At this time, Lu Zhou leaped up and rose into the air as Unnamed in the form of a sword appeared in his hand.
“Insight Card.”
This was the best time to use the Insight Card. Not only could he see the weaknesses of the Void Chest Tribesmen, but their weaknesses would be made obvious to him.
As expected, a red dot appeared three inches below the armpits of the Void Chest tribesmen. There were two to three red dots directly under the armpits as well.
Lu Zhou flew over. “Retreat.”
Duanmu Sheng obediently retreated.
At this time, five pillars of light shot out from the five Void Chest tribesmen’s chests.
Unnamed instantly turned into a s.h.i.+eld and blocked all five pillars of light.
After Duanmu Sheng returned to normal, he said, “Master, give me a little more time. I’ll definitely find their weaknesses.”
Lu Zhou shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but there’s no need to waste time on them.”
Swoos.h.!.+
Unnamed transformed into a spear from the s.h.i.+eld.
“Watch carefully.”
Unnamed in the form of a spear was 30 meters long. It shone with a bright golden light. It looked as though Lu Zhou was holding a golden dragon in his hand.
Soon enough, streaks of golden light shot out and pierced the six Void Chest tribesmen.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The energy spears were even more dazzling than Duanmu Sheng’s energy spears.
“Spear technique!”
“Master rarely uses spear techniques. I didn’t expect that he’s so highly skilled in spear techniques as well.”
Lu Zhou’s spear technique was truly a sight to behold. The energy spears looked as though a thousand houses had lit up at the same time. They looked majestic as they swept out, looking like soldiers that Lu Zhou had sent onto the battlefield. Each of the energy spears accurately pierced three inches below the armpits of the Void Chest tribesmen; each of the energy spears was like a lightning bolt.
The Void Chest tribesmen did not expect the old man in front of them to be so fast. All of them wore shocked expressions on their faces.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Void Chest tribesmen, including the one who had sunk half into the ground, were all pierced and sent flying by the energy spears.
Lu Zhou suddenly stopped moving. He turned around and raised the spear with one hand before he thrust it out at 4 degrees.
Bang!
The spear accurately pierced three inches below the armpit of one of the Void Chest tribesmen that were falling from the sky.
The battle ended with the Void Chest tribesmen sprawled on the ground.
Silence returned to Transient City again.
The people seemed to be used to such a scene despite being in awe. Lu Zhou’s display this time was not as fierce as the ones that seemed capable of destroying the world. Nevertheless, it did not take away from his skills and still looked magnificent. Every move was precise; there was no unnecessary movement at all. It was truly breathtaking.
At this time, Lu Zhou asked Duanmu Sheng, “Did you have a good look? That spear technique is called Breaking the Formation.”
Duanmu Sheng nodded happily. “Thank you, master.”
After a short silence, Kong Wen took the lead to clap.
The abrupt and lonely applause pulled everyone back to their senses.
Kong Wen smiled sheepishly as he looked at Yan Zhenluo and said, “I’m sorry. I really couldn’t help but clap…”
Crack!
One of the Void Chest tribesmen crumbled like rocks.
“Ding! Killed a Thousand Realms Whirling Void Chest tribesmen. Reward: 3, 500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
Lu Zhou frowned, perplexed. He was familiar with domain bonuses, but what were species bonuses? Fierce beasts were another species as well, but he was not rewarded with species bonuses after killing fierce beasts. He thought the system’s judgment and logic did not make sense.
Crack!
The Void Chest tribesmen crumbled like rocks one after another.
“Ding! Killed a Thousand Realms Whirling Void Chest tribesmen. Reward: 3, 500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Killed a Thousand Realms Whirling Void Chest tribesmen. Reward: 3, 500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Killed a Thousand Realms Whirling Void Chest tribesmen. Reward: 3, 500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Killed a Thousand Realms Whirling Void Chest tribesmen. Reward: 3, 500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points. Species bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
Lu Zhou shrugged. Regardless, it was a good thing to be rewarded. Killing the Void Chest tribesmen made up for 30,000 merit points he used to buy the Insight Card.
At this time, only one Void Chest tribesman was still alive; even then, he was on the brink of death. He was still shocked that the old man before him had easily pierced the Void Chest tribe’s high defenses.
Meanwhile, everyone rushed over and crowded around the last Void Chest tribesman. They looked at it and clicked their tongues in wonder.
“How’s he human? He’s clearly a monster…”
They looked at the crumbled Void Chest tribesmen. The surfaces on their bodies were like those of rocks. Their internal organs and blood were green. Despite crumbling, there was very little blood. It looked more like lumps of dried earth.
Lu Zhou casually waved his hand, withdrawing the last energy spear that was lodged in the Void Chest tribesman who was still alive.
Boom!
The Void Chest tribesmen fell to the floor, still alive.
The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion drew closer.
“Master, how did you break their defenses?”
“Their fatal points lie three inches below their armpits. They don’t have avatars or Birth Charts,” Lu Zhou said as he stroked his beard.
“Since their weaknesses lie three inches under the armpits, does this mean we can kill them easily as long as we can pierce their fatal points?” Mings.h.i.+ Yin asked curiously.
Lu Zhou shook his head. “Heaven is fair. When I was fighting them, I discovered they had many fatal points. However, their defenses are extremely high so it’s not easy to pierce them. Moreover, they have more than one fatal point. Look here…”
Lu Zhou pointed at the armpit of the Void Chest tribesmen who was on his last breath before he continued to say, “Every three inches, there would be a fatal point. He has four fatal points in total…
Upon hearing these words, the Void Chest tribesman widened his eyes in fear as he stared at Lu Zhou like he was staring at a monster.
