As the Silencing Spell's duration ticked away, Aqua Rose and the others, who stood outside the magic array, grew nervous.
They had never imagined that Primordial City would be so frightening.
As long as the Silencing Domain ended, the other two Shadows of Trial could still be used again. Of the three Shadows of Trial, only one had used the Forbidden Domain.
At that time, Shifeng would have to face three Shadows of Trial that could use their Skills. His combat power would be greatly reduced, and he would die without a doubt.
The three Shadows of Trial swung their swords at Shifeng. Not only were their Basic Attributes higher, but every one of the Shadows of Trial had reached the Refinement Realm standard. None of their attacks had any excess movement, and they were incredibly fast. When the three Shadows of Trial worked together, they made up for their weaknesses in defense and increased their combat power by several times.
"I can only go all out!"
Shifeng knew what would happen once the Silencing Effect ended. Gritting his teeth, he ignored the damage he received and dodged the attacks, slashing at the Shadows of Trial that had taken five hits.
Sword's Orbit!
If he could kill one Shadow of Trial, he might have a chance against two Shadows of Trial after the Silencing Effect ended. If he did not, he would die without a shred of hope.
Although Shifeng was going all out, the Shadows of Trial seemed to understand what was going on. Smirking, one of the Shadows of Trial stabbed at the Shifeng's defensive blind spot.
However, Shi Feng couldn't be bothered to dodge. Without hesitation, he swung his sword at the Shadow of Trial.
One hit … Two hits …
It was a completely exchanging injury for injury.
The number of times he received damage increased. Two hits … Four hits … Six hits …
"Faster! Faster! "
Shi Feng madly brandished the two swords, his concentration reaching an unprecedented level. He had completely forgotten himself.
Although Shifeng attacked with all his might, the Shadows of Trial still had two hits left. Likewise, Shifeng only had two hits left.
Just as Shifeng's swords were about to slice through the Shadows of Trial, the two Shadows of Trial behind and beside Shifeng struck Xiang Shifeng's defensive blind spots.
"It's over." Tyrol sighed.
If the Shifeng could kill a Shadow of Trial, they would have a decent chance of passing the Asura Trial. Unfortunately, such a small gap was like a chasm.
"Are you done?" Shifeng could clearly sense that the two Shadows of Trial's swords were about to stab him. He was powerless to change anything. At most, he could only take one of the Shadows of Trial down with him.
The two Shadows of Trial's swords were getting closer and closer to the Shifeng's back and abdomen.
Shifeng felt that this scene was extremely familiar.
It was just like how he had faced the Sea God's Temple's Vice Commander Rhinebeck's test. Faced with an attack that he could not withstand, he could only watch helplessly as he was defeated, unable to do anything.
"Rhinebeck?" Shifeng suddenly recalled the battle with Rhinebeck, and his eyes lit up. "That's right! Fighting style! My fighting style! "
Suddenly, Shifeng exerted force on his feet and leaped into the air. With a somersault, the Sacred Sword in his hand rotated as well, and the Sacred Sword's speed increased significantly. Transforming into a streak of blue light, Shifeng met the Shadow of Trial's attack from the side.
Dang!
A crisp clang echoed throughout the forest.
In the nick of time, Shifeng used Killing Ray to block the attack from the side. The Abyssal Blade then slashed the Shadow of Trial's shoulder, propelling him over eight yards away. With one hand on the ground, he spun twice before stabilizing himself.
"He's not dead?" Shiuse Qiangwei and the other experts stared in shock. They could not believe their eyes.
Shi Feng had actually used an inconceivable method to avoid a situation where both sides would perish together.
"This is …" Tyrol, who stood a short distance away, stared at Shifeng in astonishment. "How is this possible?! His understanding of the Realms of Truth has actually reached the next level! "
Even in Primordial City, experts who had reached the Basic Realm of Truth were exceedingly rare. Experts who had reached the Ascension Realm were even rarer in Primordial City.
Mastery of the Realms of Truth wasn't something that could be achieved simply by understanding the Realms of Truth. One needed to go through countless life-and-death battles to achieve this.
While Tyrol was still in shock, the three Shadows of Trial attacked Xiang Shifeng once more.
Once again, the three Shadows of Trial surrounded Shifeng and attacked him from three sides.
Although Shifeng had avoided certain death, the situation had not changed. There was still roughly one second left before the Silencing Spell's duration ended. Moreover, if the Abyssal Blade landed one more blow on Shifeng, this trial would end.
"Come!" Shifeng could not help his excitement when he saw the Shadows of Trial approaching him from three different directions.
Suddenly, over twenty sword lights surrounded Xiang Shifeng from all sides, giving him no room to dodge.
This time, however, Shifeng did not use Sword's Orbit to block the attacks. Instead, he simply executed his footwork, turning his body and executing eight slashes. Compared to his maximum Berserk count, this attack was nothing.
However, a shocking scene occurred once more.
As if Shifeng's swords were capable of accelerating, the three Shadows of Trial actually passed by Shifeng, blocking all of their attacks. Shifeng hadn't taken a single hit.
"Die!"
Shifeng slashed Killing Ray across the Shadow of Trial's neck, killing the Shadow of Trial after receiving nine hits. Suddenly, only two Shadows of Trial remained inside the magic array.
"What's going on?" Shiuse Qiangwei, Fire Dance, and Jian Ying were stupefied.
They couldn't understand what Shifeng had done. Not only had he blocked all of the Shadows of Trial's attacks without using Sword's Orbit, but he had also created a gap between the three Shadows of Trial's defenses.
What confused them even more was how Shifeng, who had been at a disadvantage, had gained the upper hand.
So, this is the Truth Realm's next level that Rhinebeck mentioned? Shi Feng could not help his astonishment as he looked at the Shadow of Trial.
Previously, when he had faced Rhinebeck's trial, he had only grasped the basics of the Truth Realm. Now that he had fought in Rhinebeck's trial, he understood that not only did his body need to change, but his combat perspective could also change. He could use his surroundings to his advantage. He could even use his opponent's attacks.
This improvement wasn't like the improvement of a player's senses. Rather, it was the utilization of one's body and environment.
Only, Shi Feng had never thought that the increase to his combat power would be so significant that he could suppress all three Shadows of Trial.
However, after killing one of the Shadows of Trial, the Silencing Effect ended.
Without hesitation, the Shadow of Trial activated Blade Liberation and Forbidden Domain.
"Twofold Berserk?" Shifeng could not help but smile. He, too, activated Twofold Berserk. After entering the magic array, all of his Skills' Cooldowns had reset. He had no need to hold back.
Following which, he activated Void Steps and vanished from everyone's sight.
Of the two Shadows of Trial, one used Skywheel Sword, while the other used Lightning Edge to launch large-scale AOE attacks.
However, the two Shadows of Trial's attacks failed to force Shifeng to reveal himself. For a time, the Shadows of Trial fell into a state of chaos as they frantically attacked their surroundings. However, as time passed, Shifeng still didn't appear. Eventually, both Shadows of Trial used up their Forbidden Domain.
Suddenly, Shifeng appeared beside the two Shadows of Trial.
Illusory Shadow!
Although the Shadow of Trial reacted quickly, it was still hit by three of the swords.
Left with no other choice, the two Shadows of Trial did not wish to waste any more time. Hence, they activated Chilling Field, which covered a 50-yard radius. Chilling Field was both offensive and defensive. Even Shi Feng could not move freely within Chilling Field. Inside the Field, Void Steps would be useless.
Following which, Shifeng activated Chilling Field as well.
Suddenly, over a dozen streaks of ice danced and collided with each other. It didn't look like a battle between players at all.
Despite the fact that the two Shadows of Trial controlled more chilling power, with a total of 18, compared to Shifeng's nine, no matter how crazily the two Shadows of Trial attacked, Shifeng's six chilling power blocked their attacks. On the contrary, Shifeng's chilling power struck the Shadows of Trial from time to time.
Two attacks … Three attacks … Five attacks …
