To Lin Huang and the other two, Nine Gloom was an unprecedentedly powerful foe.
Although he looked rather disheveled, Lin Huang and the other two could sense that Nine Gloom's aura did not show any signs of waning. This meant that Nine Gloom had not suffered any substantial damage at all.
Lin Huang knew very well that the attack reflected by Mirror was at least three times more powerful than his most powerful attack. Even an attack of such strength seemed to only cause a superficial wound to Nine Gloom.
What was even more frightening was that Nine Gloom had taken Virtuoso's attack head-on. He had no time to dodge, nor did he have time to use any defensive techniques. He had taken the attack head-on using his Divine Power and his physical body.
Virtuoso's expression was rather serious under their mask.
Their earlier attack had completely replicated Lin Huang's Mirror. As the replicator, they knew very well how powerful and terrifying Lin Huang's attack was. Just replicating such an attack alone had put a strain on their spirit to its limit.
One could say that this attack was almost at the level of a half-step lord-level.
Initially, according to Virtuoso's calculations, Nine Gloom would definitely be injured even if he was not severely injured if he took the attack head-on. However, what they had not expected was that Nine Gloom's strength had exceeded their expectations. He had not suffered any substantial damage at all.
This also meant that even if Nine Gloom were to take the second or third attack head-on, it was unlikely that he would be killed.
Given Virtuoso's current abilities, they could only replicate such a powerful attack three times at most.
Just as Lin Huang and Virtuoso were pondering how to break out of this predicament, Saber9 attacked again without hesitation.
As a saber cultivator, his combat style had always been to fight first and think later. Whether or not he could defeat Nine Gloom was another matter. He had to attack first, then decide whether or not to use his brain based on the situation of the battle.
That was it!
Seeing the nine major sword formations taking shape in mid-air once again and beams of golden saber gleams rapidly coalescing, Lin Huang and Virtuoso knew that they had to attack now.
Countless saber gleams filled the air, but Nine Gloom did not even glance at Saber9. He did not even lift his head to look at the sky full of saber gleams. His gaze remained fixed in Lin Huang and Virtuoso's direction.
He was not deliberately underestimating Saber9, but he could sense that Saber9's attack this time was no different from the previous round of attacks. This could be easily determined from the intensity of the Divine Power waves.
An attack of this level could not break his defense at all.
However, as far as Saber9 was concerned, this was undoubtedly a form of contempt and provocation.
Over a million sword lights instantly condensed in the void, and in the next instant, they rained down on the Nine Underworlds like a rainstorm.
Countless golden saber gleams surged toward Nine Gloom from all directions.
Nine Gloom had little interest in this wave of attacks. When he saw the sword gleams pouring toward him, he already knew that Saber9's attack this time would be no different from the previous wave.
He did not even bother to waste his energy to dodge. All he did was cover his body with a layer of Divine Power for defense.
Now that he had the defense of Silver Armor, coupled with his sea of Divine Power, an attack of this level was far from enough to break through his defense.
The next instant, the golden saber gleams collided with Nine Gloom's defense and exploded, taking away a portion of his Divine Power.
The next instant, the golden saber gleams collided with Nine Gloom's defense and exploded, taking away a portion of his Divine Power.
Yes, Saber9 had no intention of breaking Nine Gloom's defense at all.
When he knew that his attack was not strong enough to cause any substantial damage to Nine Gloom, he swiftly changed his battle strategy and positioned himself as a support member.
Although the nine sword formations seemed no different from the previous round, in reality, he had secretly made subtle changes to the formations, increasing the explosive, absorption, and interference characteristics.
When each saber gleam exploded, it would absorb about three times the intensity of the saber gleam's Divine Power. Not only that, it would also release a portion of this Divine Power to create interference waves, interfering with Nine Gloom's senses and Divine Telekinesis.
The purpose of his attack this time was not only to drain Nine Gloom's Divine Power, but also to create an opportunity for Lin Huang and Virtuoso to inflict serious damage on their opponents.
In reality, most sword cultivators did not like to use their brains and liked to fight recklessly. This was because their abilities were sufficient to crush their opponents. Most of the time, they did not need to use their brains at all.
However, he was a sword cultivator with rich combat experience, and he was an Almighty himself. In reality, after Saber9's first round of attacks had failed, he did not need to use his brain. He had already come up with a countermeasure in his head.
Therefore, while Lin Huang and Virtuoso were still trying to figure out how to break out of this predicament, he attacked without hesitation.
Not only did this give Nine Gloom the misconception that he was a brute, but it also gave Lin Huang and Virtuoso the same impression.
However, the moment they saw Saber9's saber gleams explode, Lin Huang and Virtuoso understood what was going on. They attacked again without hesitation.
Lin Huang compounded twelve levels of sequence power, in addition to Sword Dao heavenly rule, and attacked Nine Gloom once more.
Unlike the previous attack, the twelve levels of sequence power he compounded this time were not offensive. Instead, they were absorptive and draining.
After seeing Saber9's attack, Lin Huang had the same idea — to fight a war of attrition!
This was because he knew very well that even his most powerful attack was not even one-third as powerful as the reflected wave earlier. It would be very difficult for him to cause any substantial damage to Nine Gloom.
Meanwhile, off to the side, Virtuoso took on the responsibility of attacking this round.
As he performed a complicated hand seal, more than ten silhouettes that looked exactly like Lin Huang appeared in the air again. The black mirror in front of them was formed quickly, and a terrifying red and black shockwave was released from it!
This was also one of Virtuoso's biggest secrets — he could replicate the same virtual image repeatedly.
Ever since he had replicated Lin Huang's reflected wave, he could use it in the future. As long as he had sufficient Divine Power in his body and as long as his spirit could withstand it, he could use it.
Even Lin Huang could not help raising his brows when he saw the attack being replicated once more. He was rather envious of Virtuoso's ability.
Nine Gloom, who was enveloped by countless exploding saber gleams, was not feeling very good at the moment.
Indeed, Nine Gloom's wave of attack had not broken through his defenses, but the intense exploding light had interfered with his vision. Not only that, but the Divine Power waves released were also interfering with his senses and Divine Telekinesis.
He could sense that two more powerful attacks were coming at him from a short distance away. However, due to the interference, he could not accurately determine the direction and angle of the attacks.
After a moment's thought, he quickly made up his mind.
Countless vines began surging out of his hands in a frenzy, consolidating into two huge hemispherical shields in the blink of an eye. With a slight shake of his arms, the two hemispherical shields closed together, forming a complete sphere that completely enveloped his body.
Almost at the same time that he completed the shield formation, the two attacks arrived at almost the same time, bombarding the giant spherical shield.
Lin Huang's blood-red slash landed on the giant shield, but it did not break through. Instead, it began rapidly absorbing the Divine Power covering the giant shield.
Meanwhile, from another angle, Virtuoso's shockwave slammed violently into the giant shield. After scouring it for a few seconds, the giant shield finally began to crack.
However, Lin Huang and the other two saw that more vines had emerged from the cracks, blocking the openings.
This battle lasted for approximately two to three minutes before the shockwave finally dissipated.
The giant spherical shield was covered in cracks and riddled with holes, but it did not collapse in the end …
