Chapter 688: Siege

Inside the pillar of light, more than thirty demonic sect experts were thrown into chaos.

It deals 683 points of true damage per second, ignores defense, and cannot be dodged.

Those experts at the first level of Shattered Void generally had around 20,000 health points. The Holy Judgment had just deducted more than 6,800, and the Holy Descent deducted another 683 per second. Their health bars were dropping at a visible speed.

Some people started drinking the potion. The dark red potion went into their mouths, and their health bars jumped up, but the damage was still being deducted every second, and the damage was not being replenished as fast as it was being lost.

Someone frantically attacked the light pillar barrier, but all their struggles were in vain.

A powerful demonic cultivator wielding a hammer swung his giant hammer at the edge of the pillar of light. The hammer's surface struck the light barrier, exploding into a shower of sparks, but the light barrier remained completely still.

"Commander Shen! What the hell is this thing?! We can't get out!" he roared, turning his head.

Shen Wuyai did not answer immediately.

He glanced down at the dark gold brand on his ankle, then looked up, his gaze piercing through the light screen and landing on the figure standing with a gun.

The usual composure on his lean face had completely vanished.

The amount of blood deducted every second surged within my body, and the binding sensation of the branding wrapped around me from my ankles all the way up.

After a moment of silence, his eyes turned cold.

"Don't waste your energy."

His voice was calm and unhurried, yet it resonated throughout the entire area: "This is the sacred domain of a high-ranking apostle. Its sealing effect is comparable to that of a low-level artifact. Even the escape methods of dark gold equipment cannot be effective."

"However, this area only lasts for thirty minutes, or it can be dispelled by killing the one who released it."

"Even if the opponent is comparable to the third level of the Shattered Void, he cannot withstand it for long in front of so many of us."

The only way to survive now is to kill him as soon as possible, or force him to voluntarily dispel his domain. Otherwise, once the Nightmare Apostles of Cold Moon City arrive, we will all face certain death.

Before the words were finished...

boom!!!

A dozen or so experts at the first level of the Shattered Void Realm have already made their move.

They launched an attack on Lin Feng simultaneously, with various skills exploding within the beam of light.

A master swordsman unleashed three sword energies in mid-air, tearing through the air in a triangular pattern, aiming straight for Lin Feng's face.

Beside him, a master who looked like a mage formed a hand seal, and a dark red beam of light shot out from his palm, containing countless fine blood-red runes.

Further away, three skilled swordsmen leaped up simultaneously, unleashing arc-shaped sword energies from three directions towards Lin Feng. The sword energies intertwined in the air, forming a blood-red net of blades.

Several other control-type experts simultaneously unleashed dark red chains, blood-red spider webs, and black vines at Lin Feng, with various control skills surging in like a tide.

Most importantly, among the attacks of more than a dozen people, five carried the awakened skill of the Unity of Heaven and Man - 【Blood Demon Soul Devouring】.

Those attacks appeared no different from ordinary skills on the surface, but each one carried the power of the rules.

Upon hit, immediately deduct 20% of the target's maximum health and shield value, and ignore 30% of the target's effect resistance.

Five Blood Fiend Soul Devourers simultaneously blasted towards Lin Feng from five different angles, their dark red light particularly dazzling within the pillars of light.

Someone couldn't help but shout, "We won!"

But the next second, his smile froze.

More than a dozen attacks slammed into Lin Feng's body, but he remained motionless.

The three sword energies struck the breastplate, exploding into a shower of sparks and shattering.

The mage's beam of light struck the shoulder armor, breaking in the middle and scattering crimson runes everywhere.

The sword strikes from the three skilled swordsmen landed on his back and sides, striking the curved surface of his armor with a dull metallic clang before bouncing away.

His control skills are beyond question. The chains, spider webs, and vines were repelled by an invisible force field the moment they touched his body. Several experts who threw out chains were instead pulled back by their own force.

The reason is simple: in the ten seconds before the Holy Authority descends, his defense temporarily increases by three thousand points.

Most of those seemingly powerful skills couldn't even break through his defenses when they hit him, and the numbers that popped up were all zero.

Only the five Blood Fiend Soul Devourers, imbued with the power of rules, bypassed his defenses and struck his body.

However, the holy body of a high-ranking apostle has reached perfection, providing an additional 90% immunity to awakened skills.

The five Blood Fiend Soul Devouring Strike hit him, but in total, they only reduced his health by two percent.

He was currently in the ten seconds of the Holy Power's descent, recovering ten percent of his health every second.

Fully restored in an instant!

As for those control skills that come with a 30% effect resistance ignoring effect resistance, they can't even shake his negative resistance.

Control skills hit him like pebbles thrown into the ocean, not even making a splash.

Seeing this, Han Shan roared, "Idiots! His defense has temporarily increased by 3,000 points, and he can even heal! Are you guys just tickling him?"

His voice was as loud as thunder, and his cursing made the faces of the dozen or so men who had attacked him turn pale and then red.

"Wait until his skill ends before attacking! Everyone, hold your ground!" Shen Wuyai said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Blood Demon Sect all stopped fighting, retreated to a safe distance, and waited with gritted teeth.

Some people drank potions while waiting, while others activated their cultivation techniques to recover their health. All eyes were fixed on the golden figure.

Ten seconds.

It felt like ten hours.

Finally, the dark golden pillar of light trembled slightly, and the omnipresent suppressive force finally dissipated, ending the ten-second burst window of the Holy Authority's descent.

The health of the thirty-one experts at the first level of the Shattered Void Realm has plummeted from around 20,000 to just over 7,000 under the double blow of the Holy Judgment and the Descent of the Holy Authority.

Some people turned pale, some felt their legs go weak, and some couldn't help but curse out loud.

"This is too powerful... What the hell kind of monster is this...?"

"My health bar is down to a third, one more hit and I'll be gone..."

"High-ranking Apostle... Is this the power of a High-ranking Apostle?"

"Commander Shen, can we really kill him...?"

Fear spread among the people like a plague.

However, Shen Wuyai, Su Lian, Han Shan, and Tie Wujiu were already prepared.

The instant the ten seconds ended...

Shen Wuyai made the first move with a flash of blood, drawing his narrow-bladed longsword and unleashing an arc of sword energy that slashed through the air, aiming straight for Lin Feng's face.

Lin Feng dodged to the side, and the blade's energy swept past his ear, severing several strands of hair.

Su Lian had already disappeared from the spot, and in the next instant, she emerged from the shadows behind Lin Feng with two daggers, stabbing towards both sides of his spine.

Lin Feng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He blocked the Wildfire Spear behind him, and the tip of his dagger touched the shaft of the spear, sparks flying everywhere.

Su Lian swayed and disappeared into the shadows again.

Han Shan's earth-shattering slash had already come down. He gripped the blade with both hands and slashed down with all his might, a blood-red blade aura pushing forward, covering a straight line of a hundred meters in front of him.

Lin Feng pushed off with his feet, his body rising several meters into the air, and the blade energy swept past his feet.

Tie Wujiu silently charged forward, his fists clasped together, and he slammed a devastating blow into Lin Feng's chest.

Lin Feng parried with his spear, but the force of his fist struck the spear shaft, causing his arms to go numb.

Thirty-one first-level experts also made their moves, unleashing a barrage of skills from all directions.

Lin Feng weaved and shifted through the crowd, his Wildfire Spear transforming into a golden barrier as he parried, dodged, and countered.

His high resistances allowed him to completely ignore skills with control effects; freezing, stun, immobilization, and poison were all useless against him.

There are too many attacks possible.

Even though he dodged most of them, attacks continued to fall on him, and his health bar was slowly but steadily decreasing.

At the same time, he retaliated.

The Wildfire Spear thrust out and struck a first-level expert in the chest, triggering the Heavenly Flame.

A layer of dark golden flames immediately ignited on the person's body, and his health bar plummeted again, with his maximum health locked at 85%.

However, Shen Wuyai and his three companions possessed advanced Blood Demon bodies, which granted them a 70% immunity to awakened skills.

The same Heavenly Flame struck them, but only caused a little over three thousand damage, locking in nine percent of their maximum health.

Lin Feng did not linger in the fight. His Wildfire Spear stirred through the crowd, its shadow like a dragon, and with each shot, someone was forced to retreat.

Shen Wuyai's narrow-bladed longsword slashed from the left. He dodged to the side, then struck Shen Wuyai's blade with his spear, knocking him back half a step.

Su Lian's short dagger stabbed from the right. He raised his leg and kicked out, his Sky-Chasing Boots striking Su Lian's dagger with tremendous force, sending her flying along with the dagger.

Han Shan's thick-backed broadsword came down from above his head, and he raised his gun to block it. The two clashed head-on, and the shockwaves exploded outwards.

Tie Wujiu lunged at him from behind, spreading his arms to try and hug him, but Lin Feng didn't turn around. He thrust the Liaoyuan Spear backward, the butt of the spear hitting Tie Wujiu's chest and knocking him back.

But in the blink of an eye, the attacks of thirty-one first-level experts arrived again.

This time he didn't have time to dodge them all. Three hidden arrows pierced his back, a blade of energy slashed across his side, and a palm print struck his shoulder.

The health bar dropped another bit.

In less than two minutes, his health was reduced by 35%.

Lin Feng's eyes darkened, and he decisively activated the Shadow Chasing Wind Leg Guards - 【Shadow Breath】.

Evasion rate is increased by an additional 30% for 30 minutes. During this period, each successful evasion immediately restores 3% of maximum health.

The next second, his figure turned into a blurry afterimage on the ice.

The blade flashed past the hem of his clothes, the wind from the punch whistled past his ear, and the bloodthirsty aura passed by his side.

Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!

He moved like the wind, weaving through the dense attacks, each dodge bringing with it a small burst of golden healing light, his health slowly recovering.

With the blessing of the Holy Body, his healing effect is increased by 30%, restoring 2665 health points per second.

With the added 30% dodge chance, I managed to avoid most attacks, and my health actually stabilized.

But there are too many people in the Demonic Sect.

Thirty-one people at the first level of the Shattered Void Realm, plus four others at the second level including Shen Wuyai, created an attack density that was simply suffocating.

Lin Feng's health points gradually decreased during the back-and-forth struggle.

"Armor shattering!"

Tie Wujiu threw a punch, hitting Lin Feng in the chest, reducing his defense by 20%.
