"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Phew! Phew! Phew … "
"…"
What Lu Bu had activated was the Absolute Defense skill of his equipment. Even so, the sky was filled with powerful crossbow bolts. Both Yang Rui and Lu Bu were knocked off their feet.
"Phew! Phew! Phew … "
"Harrumph …"
"…"
The sky was filled with bolts like a violent storm. Lu Bu's troops who had rushed out from Ping County suffered a calamity. It could be said that it was like a thunderbolt sweeping through the cave. Lu Bu's troops were reaped one after another. The surroundings were filled with the sound of war horses neighing and other chaotic noises.
"Roar!"
"Keng! Keng! Keng … "
"…"
Seeing his troops being reaped like wheat seedlings, Lu Bu was furious. He was even more furious than when he had been ambushed by the Imperial Patrol and when he had been attacked by Zhao Yun and Yang Rui.
As a result, Lu Bu's attacks on Yang Rui became even more ferocious. Although both of them had activated their equipment's Absolute Defense, it did not affect their entanglement.
However, under the influence of the Divine Armament Sky Shattering Ballistae, although Lu Bu's attacks were more ferocious, the rhythm of his attacks was a lot slower.
After all, the might of the Divine Armament Sky Shattering Ballistae was enormous. It was almost comparable to the attack of a famous historical general. Being hit by it was equivalent to being hit by a Level 3 historical general. Its power was not that easy to neutralize.
As a result, the continuous and concentrated volley of thick ballista bolts forced Lu Bu and Yang Rui to spend most of their energy on self-preservation. Naturally, the frequency of their attacks was reduced.
Actually, at this time, Yang Rui was shocked by his own discovery. From the moment the Sky Shattering Ballistae started firing, Yang Rui very keenly noticed a situation. Under Absolute Defense, his HP began to drop again.
Early on in the country war with Japan, when Yang Rui and the others were fighting Imagawa Yoshimoto, they had noticed that their HP was dropping inexplicably under Absolute Defense.
At that time, Yang Rui did not know the exact reason. But right now, Yang Rui was in the middle of a barrage of attacks from the Divine Armament Heaven Piercing Ballistae.
If Yang Rui's conjecture was correct, the so-called 'Absolute Defense' actually had a threshold of saturation. If the combined attacks at the same time produced an effect that exceeded a certain threshold, it was very likely that the 'Absolute Defense' would be broken, and a certain amount of damage would follow.
Yang Rui had also thought of a possible reason why the Pierce effect didn't appear as a direct wound.
Just like the attack from the Divine Armament's Sky-Piercing Ballista, a single Sky-Piercing Ballista Bolt should not be able to break through Yang Rui's Defense. However, if multiple Sky-Piercing Ballista Bolts were to attack him at the same time, the shock effect produced by the bolts might cause him to lose HP, which was easily overlooked.
Under normal circumstances, the probability of breaking through 'Absolute Defense' was very low. Therefore, the system had given the equipment attribute the name 'Absolute'. However, this' Absolute 'did not mean that it was truly unbreakable. It was just that when the attribute was activated, HP would still be lost.
At the same time, it was not difficult to speculate that when the 'Absolute Defense' was broken through, it was very likely that its duration would be shortened. It was just that it was not clear how long it could last.
Of course, even if the various' Absolute Defense 'attributes could be treated as a piece of equipment with a very high Defense, the effect of the combined attacks at a certain moment would not exceed the Absolute Defense threshold by much. At least, that was the case at the current stage.
Perhaps only when faced with a barrage of Sky-Piercing Ballista Bolts would this aspect of 'Absolute Defense' be directly reflected. This could be considered to have solved one of Yang Rui's long-standing doubts and deepened his understanding of this kind of attribute.
Yang Rui thought that at this moment, Lu Bu should be in a similar situation. The Divine Armament Sky-Piercing Ballista Bolts should also be able to cause damage to him. However, Yang Rui's attacks were much weaker than his opponent's. Therefore, Lu Bu's' Absolute Defense 'should be able to last longer than Yang Rui.
Due to the large number of casualties among the Steel Cavalry, Lu Bu's eyes were red with bloodlust. Currently, in a situation where his life was not in danger, it was no longer Yang Rui who wanted to kill him. Instead, it was Lu Bu who wanted to get close to Yang Rui several times.
At this moment, even if Lu Bu was not injured or exhausted, with Yang Rui's' Absolute Defense 'activated, it would be impossible for him to kill Yang Rui in one fell swoop. At most, Yang Rui's' Absolute Defense 'would lose its effectiveness faster under his attacks.
On the other hand, if Lu Bu wanted to rely on his superiority in strength to capture Yang Rui, although it would be extremely difficult, it was not completely impossible.
"Roar!"
"Keng! Keng! Keng … "
"…"
Although the frequency of Yang Rui and Lu Bu's exchange of blows had decreased by a lot, in the blink of an eye, more than ten rounds had passed. During this time, Lu Bu's troops were certain that Lu Bu's life was not in danger. Under the suppression of the Divine Armament Sky-Piercing Ballista Bolts, they no longer rushed out of the city.
If Lu Bu wanted to retreat, Yang Rui would not be able to stop him. However, Lu Bu was certain that Zhao Yun would not be able to interfere. The more he recovered, the more determined he was to capture Yang Rui. Thus, he continued to tangle with Yang Rui and did not leave.
Originally, when Lu Bu revealed his' Absolute Defense ', Yang Rui already knew that he would not be able to stop Lu Bu from retreating. Now that the other party had indeed taken the initiative to stay, Yang Rui patiently went all out to deal with him in order to delay Lu Bu once again.
"Poof …"
The duration of the Golden Jade Armor: Absolute Defense of the Soul was much faster than Yang Rui had expected. After a few more exchanges, Yang Rui suddenly felt the radiance of the Absolute Defense suddenly dissipate. Under the consumption of internal energy, it even formed an echo within Yang Rui's body.
Yang Rui's Absolute Defense, which was supposed to last for six hours, had actually shattered under the concentrated barrage of the Divine Armament's Heaven-Shattering Ballistae. From beginning to end, it had only lasted for about ten exchanges between Yang Rui and Lu Bu.
"Roar!"
"…"
With Yang Rui's Absolute Defense broken, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up. In a flash, he pounced toward Yang Rui.
At this moment, Yang Rui also instantly understood some of Lu Bu's calculations. It seemed that Lu Bu had a better understanding of the Absolute Defense attribute of equipment. He was probably waiting for Yang Rui to first lose the Absolute Defense attribute.
However, Lu Bu had miscalculated this time. Yang Rui did not only have the Golden Jade Armor with Absolute Defense attribute.
"Clang! Clang! Clang … "
"…"
The moment the Golden Jade Armor lost its effect, Yang Rui quickly activated the Golden Tiger Leg Guards: Soul's Tiger Might Envelop Half Body Absolute Defense, as well as the Python Skin War Boots: Soul's Python Movement Evasion Type Defensive Skill. At the same time, he blocked Lu Bu's full force attack.
Facing Yang Rui's Absolute Defense, Lu Bu was slightly stunned.
