#774 - A tough battle
Ultimate Guardians share health, and even rapidly recover while sharing!
This caused immense pressure for Yue Chenyu, the Dragon Maiden, Jin Xuan, and the others.
"Jin Xuan, do you have Starry Sky Rune Communicators?"
"Yes!"
"Good! Give me your rune contact numbers. We need to constantly share the damage values of all guardians from now on!"
Jun Wuxie temporarily refrained from attacking the guardians, dodging using the 'Line' character incantation.
Although his defense was extremely strong, he didn't want to take damage unnecessarily, as it would consume blood energy to some extent.
In the current situation, it would likely be a prolonged battle, and conserving strength was paramount.
He quickly activated the Starry Sky Rune Communicator, connecting with everyone's rune numbers simultaneously.
"Remember, you must constantly share the damage values of your targets, or we will have difficulty breaking through this ultimate level! Also, be careful, everyone. I feel these guardians are capable of more than just this. They might have special methods, so don't be careless!"
Jun Wuxie instructed them, recalling what the Order Manager had said about them needing to explore on their own during the challenge. He hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.
Now it seemed the Order Manager was reminding them.
"Come on, let's cooperate well and we will surely break through!"
Jun Wuxie's voice resonated like a dragon's roar. Immediately, he stepped with extreme speed, traversing at faster-than-light speeds through the area surrounded by the seven knight guardians, launching fierce attacks.
The 'Line' character incantation was unparalleled, his speed was too fast, and his movements were unpredictable, making it difficult for the knight guardians to lock onto his trajectory.
However, the space here was limited. They launched counterattacks from all directions, overwhelming him, so no matter how unpredictable Jun Wuxie's movements were, he was still constantly hit.
Fortunately, the Qiankun Battle Armor transferred ninety percent of the absolute damage. Otherwise, under such fierce attacks, even with his physical strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
He controlled his strength very precisely. The power of each punch was consistent. After delivering a punch, he immediately switched targets, relying on the 'Line' character incantation and the Qiankun Battle Armor to attack the seven knights in turn, gradually eroding their damage values.
At the same time, he also used his divine sense to constantly monitor the changes in the knight damage values shared by Yue Chenyu, the Dragon Maiden, and the others on the Starry Sky Rune Communicator.
He gradually discovered a problem.
Since the Dragon Maiden and the others didn't have the Qiankun Battle Armor, they didn't dare to tank the knights' output, spending most of their time dodging and deflecting the knights' attacks, resulting in a low frequency of hitting the knights.
The total damage dealt by the four of them was actually less than Yue Chenyu's alone, making it difficult to maintain the same level of decrease in the damage values of the nine knight guardians.
The Dragon Maiden and Jin Xuan and the others had obviously realized this.
Perhaps thinking that the four of them combined were inferior to Jun Wuxie was one thing, but not even keeping up with Yue Chenyu's speed filled Jin Xuan with a deep sense of frustration and some anxiety.
In his anxiety, he slightly lost his composure and wanted to catch up. During one strong attack, Jin Xuan was almost pierced through the heart by a knight's war spear, but fortunately, he reacted quickly at a critical moment.
Even so, his shoulder blade was pierced through, leaving a bloody mess.
"Damn it!"
Jin Xuan roared to the sky, his black hair exploded, and he quickly circulated his life essence to heal his injuries. At the same time, he raised the golden battle halberd high, rushing forward like a wild beast released from its cage, cleaving down with all his might.
The knight's eyes were cold. He brandished the war spear in his hand, evolving a blood-colored array diagram in the air, and thrust forward.
In an instant, thousands of spear lights burst forth from the array diagram, repelling the Dragon Maiden, Jin Yu, and Jin Hanyu.
The blood-colored spear light collided with Jin Xuan's battle halberd, the clanging reverberations piercing the ears, shaking his battle halberd out of his hand. All the spear lights instantly converged, transforming into a huge blood-colored war spear, locking onto Jin Xuan and killing him at the speed of light.
Jin Xuan's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted, and he retreated as quickly as possible, but he still couldn't dodge it.
Clang!
Just as he thought he was about to be pierced by the war spear, a dragon's roar resounded through the heavens, and a true dragon entwined with sea-blue light rushed over and collided with the war spear.
Boom!
The war spear was knocked off course, and the blood-colored energy shaken from it sent the true dragon flying.
The Dragon Maiden dispelled her true form, returning to her human form, her feet continuously retreating against the void, her body swaying, and a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
"Jin Xuan!"
Jun Wuxie saw the situation and had the urge to kick that guy.
"Why are you showing off? Now is the time for teamwork, not for you to be a hero. You got Long Xi injured!"
"I..."
Jin Xuan wanted to retort instinctively, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound. He only felt bitter and ashamed, especially when he saw the bloodstains on the corner of the Dragon Maiden's mouth, making him feel very bad.
"You weaklings, you also want to defeat us, dreaming of passing the ultimate level in despair mode. You are really overestimating yourselves!"
The knight on Jin Xuan's side actually spoke, his voice cold and confident, with a deep contempt.
"Calm down, don't be provoked by him!"
The Dragon Maiden attacked while casting secret techniques, reminding them.
Jin Xuan calmed down and was no longer impulsive.
Jin Yu and Jin Hanyu remained calm as always. The four cooperated, deflecting the knight's war spear attacks while looking for opportunities to strike him, eroding his damage value.
"Jun Wuxie and Yue Chenyu's target damage values have dropped to ninety-two percent, and our target still has ninety-five percent!"
Jin Hanyu said, her brows furrowed. If this continued, the gap would widen over time and become more and more unbalanced. Did they really have to stop and wait for them?
If that were the case, Jun Wuxie would needlessly endure more attacks.
Although he had the Qiankun Battle Armor, being hit would definitely be uncomfortable. She deeply understood how terrifying these knights' attacks were.
The longer it took, the more disadvantageous it would be for them, and their energy and spirit would be exhausted.
"Jin Xuan, Jin Yu, Jin Hanyu, the three of you go attack Chenyu's target!"
Jun Wuxie's voice suddenly came. He spread his fists, the fist imprints were even more dazzling than the great sun, fierce and unmatched, with power that penetrated the universe and reached the eight wildernesses, forcibly shaking open two of the guardians.
At the same time, a golden light rushed out of his body, condensing into an incarnation, stepping across the sky and joining the Dragon Maiden's battlefield.
Seeing his incarnation arrive, Jin Xuan and the others were stunned.
In this kind of intense battle, he could actually split an incarnation to join the second battlefield!
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up!"
The Primordial Incarnation rushed to the front, forcibly tanking the knight's war spear, his fists clashing hard against it, blocking all of his attacks and creating a good output environment for the Dragon Maiden.
The Dragon Maiden was behind him, casting various secret techniques and frantically dealing damage.
Jin Xuan, Jin Yu, and Jin Hanyu came back to their senses and quickly went to Yue Chenyu's battlefield, with Yue Chenyu tanking in the front and them attacking from behind.
"Pay attention to maintaining the damage values!"
Jun Wuxie did not forget to remind them. He shuttled between the seven knight guardians, pulling up a sky full of golden light tails, constantly advancing to different knights, and the Seven Kill Fist, wrapped with military intent, punched forward again and again.
Finally, the damage values of the nine great knight guardians dropped to the same value and maintained the same rate of decline.
Gradually, the knight guardians' damage values dropped to ninety percent.
At this time, mysterious order runes lit up on each knight's body.
These runes quickly separated from their bodies, sprinkling down like rain of light, covering the battlefield.
"Be careful!"
Jun Wuxie sensed danger and leaped into the high sky.
Almost at the same time, those light rains fell on the ground, fell in the void, blooming with dazzling strong light, turned into a light group, constantly spreading.
Those light groups projected a beam of magnificent order light, thousands of feet long, like an energy pointer, rotating three hundred and sixty degrees.
On the ground, in the low sky, in the high sky, layers upon layers, full of order energy rays, making the entire platform covered.
Jin Yu was accidentally swept by an order ray, and almost had his waist cut off!
If he hadn't activated a defensive battle armor at a critical moment, it would have probably cost him half his life.
Even Yue Chenyu, wearing the Qiankun Battle Suit, felt her blood churning while resisting the sweep of these rays!
"Pay attention, find the gaps in the alternating sweeps of the order energy rays to attack!"
Yue Chenyu and the Primordial Incarnation still stood in the front, shuttling through the gaps of the order energy rays, restraining the knight guardians.
Jin Xuan and the Dragon Maiden and others looked for opportunities to strike them.
However, in this way, the effective attack frequency became too low, and they had to pay attention to dodging the order energy rays at all times, which greatly limited their offensive.
The same was true for Jun Wuxie. He also needed to dodge the order energy rays, and the attack frequency dropped many times.
In fact, he could completely carry the rays to attack, but that would consume more blood energy.
Most importantly, the progress of the other two battlefields had slowed down, and he had to maintain the same progress.
From afternoon to dusk the next day, they fought fiercely in the ultimate level. The consumption of blood energy was quite severe. So far, they had only eroded the knight guardians' damage values to eighty-one percent.
In this day and night, everyone except Jun Wuxie was injured. Even Yue Chenyu, who had the Qiankun Battle Suit, had bloodstains on the corners of her mouth.
The Dragon Maiden, Jin Xuan, Jin Yu, and Jin Hanyu were covered in blood, their faces pale, and they were no longer in their peak state.
They had been swept by the order rays several times, and several times they had been pierced through the flesh by the aftershocks of the knights' spear points while dodging the rays.
Rumble!
The knight guardians' damage values dropped to eighty percent!
At this time, the entire sky was rumbling.
Mysterious order runes emerged on their bodies, those runes jumping like flames, rushing into the high sky.
The next moment, the sky turned gloomy, dark clouds gathered, and a dark red light flashed.
Boom!
Meteorites intertwined with the power of order rained down, blotting out the sky. Each meteorite carried terrifying power, obliterating the space between heaven and earth into nothingness, a terrifying sight, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Get out now! You all quickly retreat from the challenge platform!"
Jun Wuxie, using the 'Word' technique, weaved through the gaps in the order energy beams, while watching the order meteorites falling from the sky, feeling the power they carried, his pupils contracted violently.
Jin Xuan, Jin Yu, and Jin Hanyu's expressions changed drastically. They dodged the rays while dodging the meteorites, looking extremely disheveled. In a short time, they were almost hit several times.
Even the energy shockwaves formed by the meteorites passing by them caused their bodies to sway.
"We must retreat quickly!"
The Dragon Girl saw the situation clearly. The current situation no longer allowed them to stay on the challenge platform. Not to mention attacking the knight guards, just these order energy rays and order meteorites were overwhelming them, making it difficult to protect themselves.
"Chen Yu, you get out too!"
Jun Wuxie used the 'Word' technique to the extreme, secretly refining the divine beast's essence blood and the red jade ginseng to replenish his own blood energy consumption, dodging the rays and meteorites. At the same time, he looked for opportunities to rush in front of a certain knight, and in an instant, launched a round of frantic attacks!
Instantly, he flew away like golden light, dodging the rays and meteorites, forcibly enduring the knight's spear attack, and rushed to another knight, continuing the storm-like attack.
