Chapter 380: Offense instead of Defense
"If you're done attacking, it should be my turn!"
When she heard the enemy's words, Shen Mengting stopped breathing in an instant. Originally, she had reached the point where she was out of breath, but when this information rushed into her mind, she seemed to freeze strangely.
Panic and fear had made her lose the instinct to continue breathing.
"You...... You ......"
"I've always made it very clear!Since you've stopped attacking, it's my turn!" Lian Yun moved the sword in his hand rather casually.
Even though this action was very slow, the sword qi that could be revealed from it made Shen Mengting panic.
"You ......"
"Are you ready?" Lian Yun lowered his head slightly rather seriously, "You have attacked so many times before, so why do you have to give me a chance to attack!"
Shen Mengting's legs were already a little weak, she recalled the scene of her own attack being frustrated just now, and roughly guessed the strength of the opponent's attack.
"You...... You ...... guy."
"Okay!Shen Mengting!Let's let you see the strength of our General Sauron!Don't look very unconvinced!" Lian Yunpo finally pointed his sword at Shen Mengting. It's just that there was only a brief second in that direction, and he raised his sword to the highest point.
It seemed that the next step was to lunge forward and deliver a powerful vertical slash attack.
Shen Mengting's brain was a little blank, and she was between whether to run away or resist the enemy's attack. But there is one thing she seems to be able to feel, and that is that there seems to be only one word for death in both options.
"You...... You...... You ......" Shen Mengting moved back slightly, and her two pupils had completely imprinted the enemy's body that had already raised the sword.
"Shen Mengting, don't blame me for not giving you a chance! I didn't want to do this!" Lian Yunpo's dry lips began to move again, almost like a dead man with a mask, "But you are so ignorant! So...... Don't blame me...... Don't take it for mercy!"
The moment the words fell, the sword in Lian Yunpo's hand fell down with relief. When the sword head hit the ground heavily, the bursts of sword qi brought by it made Shen Mengting retreat.
Shen Mengting hurriedly used her arms in front of her to relieve the discomfort caused by the oncoming wind. However, an even greater threat followed.
Just in front of Lian Yunpo, a golden curved blade appeared. It was unusually glaring at everything around it, and hurricanes dotted around it.
Shen Mengting clearly saw the erected curved blade, and the panic in her heart rushed to her throat again. She knew what was going to happen next, so she held her greatsword in front of her.
The wind was so wild that all her braids 'rushed' backwards, as if someone was pulling them from behind. It wasn't long before the blinding light began to draw closer, and she knew that an enemy attack was coming.
After breaking away from Lian Yunpo's sword, the curved blade began to rush towards Shen Mengting's position.
Shen Mengting knew that the structure of the curved blade was the sword qi that Lian Yunpo had made. However, the sword qi alone could reach such a dazzling and terrifying level, she really couldn't imagine how much strength its releaser had.
But for her now, all she can do is focus on blocking the attack of the curved blade.
Shen Mengting arched her back, and the center of gravity of her body lowered a lot. She poured all her strength into the greatsword she wielded. Then, with all her might, she thrust her sword into the ground.
The swordsman's skill shield wall was used by her again, and a translucent wall was erected in front of her.
But for a moment, Shen Mengting sensed a treacherous smile from Lian Yunpo's face. It seemed that the man was laughing at herself, because any defensive posture she was doing at the moment was useless.
Shen Mengting gritted her teeth and looked directly at the dazzling curved blade that was coming in front of her through the wall of light.
"Don't underestimate me!" roared out of thin air, and Shen Mengting's knees, which were originally standing straight, bent slightly.
The moment the curved blade hit the intensity of light, she felt a violent shaking sensation, which was caused by the heavy blow of a huge force. Then, she realized that there was an indescribable push ahead, and struck her backwards.
"Ah...... Ah......h
The curved blade kept pushing her, causing two deep scars to appear in front of her feet. The stretches are getting longer and longer, and she can't see the beginning or the end.
The enemy's force was too great, and Shen Mengting knew that she would definitely not be able to defend against the shield wall she had made.
Her body was still moving backwards, and her speed and impact were not diminished at all. In the process, she bumped into waves of soldiers along the way, causing her back to ache.
"Ah...... Ah......h
Even though she wanted to stop her body, no matter how hard she tried, she didn't reduce her shaking feeling a little, let alone stop her body that was still retreating.
Lian Yunpo has been watching from a distance, occasionally shaking the sword in his hand at will. He had no intention of continuing the attack, because if he did, the girl would surely lose her life.
Shen Mengting continued to retreat, and the scene she could see was slowly becoming blurred. What's even more worrying is that the wall of light that is touching in front of him and still defending against the enemy's curved blades seems to have some cracks.
At first, it was just a stage of small earthworms climbing, but as Shen Mengting continued to be pushed back, the rift began to stretch infinitely. They even had to be connected to each other, until the entire wall was already densely cracked.
"This ......"
Shen Mengting immediately knew that the shield wall she had sent out, and the energy was about to be destroyed by that curved blade. And if the wall of light is broken, it means that her body will face the curved blade with amazing energy.
"No! no! it can't be like this!" Shen Mengting began to shake her head quickly.
The situation seemed to have reached a point where it would never be recovered, as if her life would stop when the wall of light was broken.
No, it can't be like this! The deteriorating situation made her mind tense again. Instead of panicking, she thought violently about how to deal with the crisis in front of her.
Lian Yunpo also noticed this, and his face also outlined a chuckle, "That's right! The more you are in a moment of crisis, the more you have to calm your mind to deal with the crisis, this is the really useful person!"
The wall of light had reached the point where several 'bricks' had fallen, and even a little enemy swordsman energy flowed out of the cracks. It seems that it is inevitable that Shen Mengting will be ravaged by the power of the curved blade in the next moment.
However, Shen Mengting has never been so easy to admit defeat since she was a child. After gritting her teeth again, she poured out all her energy.
Although her defensive light wall is about to be broken, she can now use offense instead of defense to consume the enemy's strength!
While thinking of this, Shen Mengting grabbed the hilt of the giant sword again. At the moment when the massive thrust was about to penetrate the light wall in front of her, she began to attack the front of her in a thin air.
She lifted her whole body strength again and poured it into her hands, she didn't dare to slack off, so she used her leaning forward body to press on the still trembling arms. Eventually, she triggered the energy that contradicted the previous one.
"Shockwave!"
When she shouted the name of this skill, her arms flashed with golden light in an instant. The correspondence between the light and the curved blade on the outside of the wall of light was equally harsh and uncomfortable.
However, it was also because of this light that Shen Mengting's retreating body gradually slowed down.
Two rays of light flashed at the same time on the front and back sides of the wall, and together they created a countervailing force, but the wall of light was damaged faster. More cracks were produced, even to the point of dense intensity.
However, despite the rampaging energy, the current Shen Mengting is only thinking about one thing. She needed to stop her body before she could organize an effective counterattack.
Otherwise, he will always be a lamb to the slaughter, until he is eaten up by the curved blade energy in front of him.
"I ...... Want...... Resist...... You...... Target...... Strength!" Shen Mengting snorted, and her body finally stopped retreating. She stopped suddenly, and the two scratches in front of her came to an abrupt end.
Seeing this scene, Lian Yunpo smiled again. He really felt like he wanted to give a thumbs up to Shen Mengting's behavior of resisting the enemy's energy in life and death.
Although Shen Mengting finally stood still, the curved blade that destroyed her in front of her still existed. It's even starting to be embedded in the wall of light, and it doesn't seem to be long before the defense is completely shattered.
We can't let it continue to wreak havoc! We need to launch a Jedi counterattack! Shen Mengting immediately decided on her idea, and quickly prepared to implement it.
But......
The power of the curved blade in front of him was still huge, although it could no longer make Shen Mengting retreat. But the relative energy can still hit her body closely.
"Ah......" Shen Mengting could only shout out in her voice.
"Hehe, little girl, do you think you can really break my energy?" Lian Yun touched his lips slightly, "I'll tell you!
Shen Mengting continued to touch the curved blade, but the situation had reached an extremely critical moment, the wall of light she had created was on the verge of collapse, and her own strength was about to be exhausted.
At this time, the curved blade had been completely embedded in the wall of light, causing the center of the wall to rush into the tip of the blade.
"Shen Mengting, you've already lost! If you beg me for mercy now, I can come and help you swing that curved blade!" Lian Yunpo directly inserted the head of the sword into the ground, and his hands were still touching the hilt of the upper sword.
His tone was so light-hearted, as if he could press down the curved blade that destroyed Shen Mengting's life with a flick of his fingers.
Shen Mengting categorically would not accept the enemy's gift, but Lian Yunpo's ridicule made her concentrate again.
"I ...... I won't...... Admit defeat!" Shen Mengting lifted the breath of her whole body again, "Ahh......hhh
The rumbling around her was louder, but the actual sound was her own. She was overdrawing her strength and turning it into energy to resist her enemies.
"Ah...... Ah......h
Still, she continued to hold on, even though her face looked like she was cramping everywhere.
"Huh?" Lian Yunpo in the distance looked at it and gradually regained his serious expression. Once upon a time, he had never looked at a little girl so impressively, "You...... What a ...... What a seedling!"
Shen Mengting's body center of gravity lowered again, and her face staggered to the ground. After handing over a few rough breaths one after another, her heart burned with excitement for the first time in a long time.
Her senses were now almost numb, and she couldn't perceive the surroundings!, but she knew very well that many of her brothers were fighting the Saurons.
So, as a generalissimo, how can she give up one step ahead?
The excitement in her heart swelled more and more, and finally this strength completely turned into the power to resist the enemy! Shen Mengting raised her head violently, and the hilt of the giant sword she held was also raised a little higher.
Seeing this, Lian Yunpo's face also changed a little, and he was deeply shocked by Shen Mengting's spirit of never admitting defeat.
Shen Mengting's legs began to move slightly, but the formation was as slow as trying to climb a hill. It's no wonder, after all, the forces from the front are too great.
"Ah...... Don't underestimate me! I'll never throw in the towel!"
The shockwave energy that shone in front of her expanded, and it also made his progress much faster.
Then, the most shocking thing happened! the transparent wall of light was finally torn apart, and the debris was scattered all around. However, the energy of the shock wave emitted by her increased a lot, and then with her forward pace, the enemy's curved blade actually began to transform, and its strength gradually decreased.
"I will never admit defeat!" Shen Mengting let out a loud sigh at the end, and the curved blade was cut in half by her, and spun and flew out towards her sides.
After a loud roar that penetrated deep into her cochlea, the shockwave energy in front of her did not shoot out, but exploded together. The expanding energy hit her face, causing her to be dragged backwards again.
Fortunately, the strength was not too great, and after Shen Mengting retreated a few steps, she quickly stood firm and stopped. It's just that the current face still feels a little hot, but the actual damage is only to break some skin.
Lian Yun was quite stunned by the scene in front of him, although that Shen Mengting did not show much ability, but his 'never admit defeat' spirit really made him admire it even more.
Shen Mengting gasped, she had indeed repelled the powerful energy emitted by the enemy. However, her current situation is extremely unbearable. She had overdrawn her strength just now, which made it difficult for her to even stand firm now.
When resisting the enemy's attack, he can ignore his own lack of strength because of his tense thoughts! But when the crisis is over and his spirit is a little slack, all the discomfort will be exposed.
Shen Mengting suddenly raised her chest with a feeling of disgust, so she suddenly retched forward. As a result, it was not stomach acid or food that was vomited, but fresh blood. She then coughed several times in pain.
It seems that I used too much force just now, so I vomited blood. She began to wipe the corners of her mouth with her hand, and then glared at the enemy with an unyielding gaze.
Although she has not yet reached the point of serious injury, it is still difficult for her to stand on her feet due to excessive overdraft.
This is probably the price of forcibly resisting the power of a master-level top figure, Shen Mengting thought. She tried to keep herself on her feet, but her body still swayed.
It can take a few minutes to recover from this feeling of powerlessness!
"Shen Mengting, you seem to be dying! I think you might as well surrender!" Lian Yun raised his head.
"Hmph, don't be complacent, I'm only temporary...... It's just a little overdrawn for the time being!
"Oh, it's going to take time to recover......! Hehehe......" A long old man's laughter came out, and Lian Yunpo touched the goat's white whiskers on his chin again.
"Hey, what's so funny about this?" Shen Mengting tried to raise the giant sword she was holding, but every time she exerted her strength, she lowered it a little distance because of the weakness of the follow-up, "Hungry ......"
"Since you need time to recover, what if I attack it all of a sudden now?"
Shen Mengting gasped when she heard this, "Ahhh......h
Seeing this, Lian Yun's smile became even stronger, "Ahh
"You...... You ......" Shen Mengting continued to gasp violently in a daze. She felt so weak all over her body that she didn't even have the strength to move.
"It seems that you don't have the physical strength to dodge now, right?" Lian Yunpo began to gradually put away his smile, and every time he became serious, the bark-like wrinkles on his face became more vivid, "Then I'm going to attack!"
A breeze blew through the middle of them, and kicked up a cloud of dust with it.
For some reason, some of the soldiers around him who were fighting could be touched again, and Shen Mengting suddenly twisted her neck.
However, as soon as she looked around, a terrifying energy began to ignite in front of her, and she knew what that meant.
"You...... You guy!"
"It's all your own doing! Don't blame me for not giving you a chance!" Lian Yunpo raised his sword slightly.
But unlike the previous skill of standing at a distance and issuing skills, this time he seemed to be about to engage in melee combat, and directly from the slight bend of his knees, he could detect the clues.
"You...... Ah......h
"Are you ready to die, little girl!"
The breeze blew Lian Yunpo's goat's white beard, showing off his old body. But even after an instant, his casual swinging of the sword seemed to inform everyone on the battlefield that he was a veritable old marshal.
