Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Five Elements Sword Guards! (1 more update)

Ling Feng held the Ten Directions Annihilation horizontally in front of his chest, carefully sizing up the Five Elements Sword Guards in front of him.

These five Sword Guards surrounded him at the center, the Five Elements Attribute True Qi they emitted had a very mystical connection—clearly, they had formed the Five Elements Formation.

"The strength of these Five Elements Sword Guards will change according to the challenger’s power. So, good luck to you!"

"Ding!"

As the Array Formation Spirit’s voice faded, the Golden Sword Guard had already swung the broadsword in hand to attack—a slash aimed to directly behead Ling Feng.

Such quick speed!

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched, he stepped back with the Carefree Sword Step, hastily retreating three steps. The Ten Directions Annihilation in his hands turned at his waist, blocking the attack coming from the Water and Fire Sword Guards on the left and right, then he swiftly jumped up, dodging the sneak attack from the Earth Sword Guard emerging from the ground.

Jumping into the air was not safe either; Ling Feng only felt several piercing sounds of tearing through the air behind him, as the Golden Sword Guard had already swung the sword down in a furious slash.

"Clang!"

Ling Feng quickly drew his sword to defend. The cooperation among these Sword Guards was so clever it was infuriating—others combined dual swords, but this was practically a fusion of five swords!

Moreover, with the support of the Five Elements Formation, although the Wood Sword Guard did not directly join the fray, it continuously replenished their energy and Elemental Power.

Such a fighting method was downright scoundrel-like!

Ling Feng felt frustrated. Under such intense attack, he could only rely on the ability of the Heavenly Dao Eye to discern the opponents’ moves, thus finding gaps to dodge constantly, without any time to launch any sword moves.

Continuing like this, even though he had an immensely terrifying reserve of True Qi, he could never outlast those non-human beings made entirely out of Elemental Power.

"I can only risk getting some light injuries to take down one first!"

Ling Feng steeled his heart and instantly initiated the Mountain Shattering Transformation from the Eight Desolate Four Transformations.

In an instant, Ling Feng’s muscles swelled enormously, and his aura surged. To his dismay, it seemed like the Five Elements Heavenly Palace sensed the change in his aura and suddenly lowered five colored beams from the sky into the bodies of the Five Elements Sword Guards. Their aura also soared abruptly, becoming even more terrifying!

"Damn it!!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but curse, realizing that was what the Array Formation Spirit was referring to!

"No good, I can’t handle such a level of attack power, even with my Mountain Shattering Transformation!" Ling Feng thought quickly and, taking advantage of the brief pause when the five beams of light entered the bodies of the Five Elements Sword Guards, hurriedly deactivated the Mountain Shattering Transformation.

Regrettably, Ling Feng was shattered again!

Although he had deactivated the Mountain Shattering Transformation, the power of the Five Elements Sword Guards didn’t weaken alongside him at all!

"There’s even this kind of manoeuver!"

Ling Feng smiled bitterly in his mind. It seemed that the Senior Expert who designed this trial of the Five Elements had eliminated all shortcut methods. If one wanted to break through the formation, they had to rely on their real skills!

Furthermore, the strength of the Five Elements Sword Guards changing according to the strength of the challenger made such a trial pick out the most outstanding and monstrously talented individuals.

Ling Feng felt almost driven to tears. He hastily activated the Mountain Shattering Transformation again, driving the Carefree Sword Step to dodge the attacks of these Sword Guards. With this suicidal attempt, the difficulty of his trial had climbed another notch.

"Do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

Ling Feng’s eyebrows twisted as he parried the most ferocious attack from the Golden Sword Guard. Then, disregarding the Water and Fire Sword Guards who were attacking from both flanks, he forced the Fierce Slaughter Slash upon the Golden Sword Guard with ferocity.

He knew he absolutely couldn’t outlast them, so his only choice was to fight to the death!

Ling Feng steeled his heart and shot out like a cannonball, with True Qi surging within his body. He had abandoned any defense against the Water and Fire Sword Guards, hoping that this one strike could incapacitate the Golden Sword Guard.

Without the Golden Sword Guard, whose attack power was the most formidable, their Five Elements Formation would naturally fall apart.

"Bang!"

Swords clashed, and Ling Feng’s stroke sent the Golden Sword Guard tumbling onto the ground. However, the Earth Sword Guard suddenly leapt out from beneath the earth, controlling the soil to form a gigantic hand that caught the Golden Sword Guard and placed him beside the Wood Sword Guard.

In the blink of an eye, the combined strike of the Water and Fire Sword Guards had already reached him, piercing his left and right sides with heavy thrusts. Although Ling Feng’s use of the Mountain Shattering Transformation meant his abdomen wasn’t pierced, the intrusive power of both water and fire invaded his body, causing an unbearable chilling and burning sensation that made him shudder uncontrollably.

"Damn it!"

Ling Feng forcefully suppressed the water and fire powers with his True Qi. He needed to eliminate the Water and Fire Sword Guards while the Wood Sword Guard healed the Golden Sword Guard, or else the injuries he had just sustained would have been for naught!

Sadly, he was still too naive.

The Water and Fire Sword Guards, successful in their strike, launched into another frenzied attack. Their combined assault was more vexing than that of the heavy and forceful Golden Sword Guard, almost impossible to counter.

Meanwhile, the Earth Sword Guard kept emerging for sneak attacks and continuously bolstered the defense of the Water and Fire Sword Guards with Earth Attribute Power.

Ling Feng quickly found himself on the defensive again.

What drove him to despair was that the exceedingly formidable Golden Sword Guard had completely recovered!

In an instant, the golden glow in the eyes of the Golden Sword Guard flashed, the long sword swept across, and with a powerful leap, he reentered the fray.

As the Golden Sword Guard recovered, the Wood Sword Guard once again provided a continuous stream of Life Spirit Energy to all the Sword Guards, fully replenishing their already negligible losses.

In no time, Ling Feng’s pressure mounted anew, and the palm clutching Ten Directions Annihilation was covered in a layer of fine sweat.

This combination was virtually unsolvable!

Ling Feng, alone, seemed to be facing an almost invincible team.

Thankfully, this was not a match on the Sword Fighting Platform; otherwise, the enemy could effortlessly topple the flag that represented Ling Feng, leading to his utter defeat.

The Five Elements Sword Guards, devoid of any emotion, launched another attack, still a dense encirclement. Even though Ling Feng’s reactions had reached an extreme speed, wounds kept accumulating on his body.

It seemed that the Array Formation Spirit hadn’t lied—the consequence of failing this trial was nothing but a dead end!

The swordsmanship of the Five Elements Sword Guards had all reached the realm of Sword Intent Small Success. Coupled with the way they were interlinked by the Five Elements Formation, their coordination continued flawlessly. Even though their movements were simple slashes, chops, stabs, and flicks, Ling Feng, trapped beneath their nearly impenetrable assault, could only keep evading and retreating using the Carefree Sword Step.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of swords howling in the wind as Ling Feng dodged left and right, occasionally deflecting the Earth Sword Guard’s sneaky blows. If not for the ability to see weaknesses with the Heavenly Dao Eye and combining this with the ghostly speed of the Carefree Sword Step, Ling Feng would have already been turned into a sieve by the Five Elements Sword Guards.
