Chapter 1347: 1347

“Force-type attack is different from the extreme sword speed and agility required for rapid speed in that it aims for the ultimate charge in an attack . You would need extreme strength and force, even extreme usage of Divine Power…”

Lin Huang was completely focused as he listened to Sword10’s explanation .

Previously, he had never given these matters much thought . Although he knew that there was force-type cultivation direction in Sword Dao, his understanding of force meant fighting his opponent in the most unyielding manner! He thought that a force-type attack was swinging his sword with all his might and not holding anything back!

Sword10 seemed to know what was going through Lin Huang’s mind . He continued, “Many people think that force-type attack means fighting without thinking . The assumption isn’t exactly wrong, but real force-type attack isn’t merely mindless combat .

“To me, a real force-type attack should have extreme strength, extreme explosive ability, extreme physical capabilities, and extreme usage of Divine Power… It’s a combination of all these extreme elements; there should be no shortcomings whatsoever .

“If only a single aspect reaches its peak, or there’s a clear flaw, that would not be considered a genuine force-type attack . At most that could be called a strength-type, explosive-type or Divine Power-type attack…”

After Sword10 finished this earnest explanation, he looked at Lin Huang across the distance . “Next, let’s see what sort of level you’re at for your force-type attack!”

As soon as he was done speaking, Sword10 withdrew the silver battle sword he held from its scabbard once more . Divine Power slowly spread from the sword hilt to the very tip of the blade . As Divine Power enveloped the blade of the sword completely, a layer of red flame surged up around it as well . At the same time, wispy blood-red sparks appeared

Lin Huang only needed a glance to tell that that Sword10 had not only added Fire Elemental Enlightenment to his weapon, but he had also endowed it with Lightning Elemental Enlightenment .

“The red Lightning Elemental Enlightenment seems to be different from the previous purple Lightning Elemental Enlightenment . The same type of Elemental Enlightenment probably has subdivisions of different functions and effects . He was using the purple Lightning Elemental Enlightenment earlier for rapid speed, which resulted in a boost to his sword speed . Now that he’s using red Lightning Elemental Enlightenment for a force-type attack, the effect might be different…”

Lin Huang did not have a detailed understanding of Lightning Elemental Enlightenment . However, he knew that Sword10’s sword power would certainly be terrifying with the addition of both Fire and Lightning Elemental Enlightenments .

In an instant, the battle sword in Lin Huang’s hand was also enveloped in blood-red Divine Power . With the addition of Sword Dao true meaning and God-slaying Power, the blood-red glow on the blade was even more intense than before .

The blood-red glow very soon transformed into a state resembling flame and enveloped the entire blade .

This layer of “red flame” was naturally not a real flame like that of Fire Elemental Enlightenment . Instead, Lin Huang used Charcoal’s Dragon Flame as a model and simulated the flame with Divine Power .

“I definitely can’t fight his double Elemental Enlightenment attack with my God-slaying Power alone…” In his mind, Lin Huang was rapidly searching for skills and divine abilities that could be added to his force-type attack . He soon found the answer .

The Superhuman Strength divine ability!

The Superhuman Strength was a natural talent originally from Gong Sunying, who was born with this innate ability . However, when Tyrant elevated to virtual god-level and his Immense Strength skill evolved into Superhuman Strength, the Superhuman Strength natural talent integrated automatically with his Monster Skill to become a new Superhuman Strength divine ability .

Tyrant had the Celestial Giant bloodline, which meant that Superhuman Strength—his core skill—was no less powerful than God Rule Power itself .

The effect of Superhuman Strength on Lin Huang’s attack was very obvious .

One could say that both combatants held nothing back in this attack .

In the void, two red gleams lit up half the sky . One was rather dim, while the other was as bright as a flame; they lit up the palace so brightly that there were no shadows anywhere .

The next instant, both red gleams transformed into two meteors and shot through the air, colliding with each other .

The second the dim and the bright red gleams collided, dazzling red light was released . At that moment, the red gleam was even faintly tinged with white . Endless bursts of red light surged in all directions like flowing water, completely blanketing all the spaces within the palace in the blink of an eye, turning it into a blood-red edifice .

If there were other living beings in this place, the residual red gleams of light emanating from the sword swings would instantly turn anyone below true god-level into dust…

The collision of these two similar red gleams came to an end in no more than ten seconds . However, a glaringly bright red afterglow remained where the point of impact had been .

Suddenly, a black silhouette shot out from the afterglow, landing hard onto the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust .

“Let’s continue!” The silhouette slowly clambered up from the dust and stood up .

All of a sudden, it moved again, stepping out of the dust-covered area .

A figure in a black robe emerged; it was Lin Huang .

Lin Huang did not seem to mind being defeated in this first round of combat . He drew himself up without hesitation and initiated battle again .

Sword10 raised his brows slightly but did not say anything . He transformed into a stream of light again and charged at Lin Huang .

In the void, the dim and the bright gleams collided over and over . As a result of the tremendous impact, dazzling red star-like sparks illuminated the air continuously .

However, Lin Huang was repeatedly forced to retreat due to his opponent’s attacks .

The first dozen or so times, Lin Huang was immediately sent flying . However, he was gradually starting to retreat less and less far away .

By the time Sword10 sheathed his sword and exited the battlefield, Lin Huang had reduced the distance of his retreat to within ten meters .

“Although I’m a Protoss with a naturally powerful physique that gives me a natural advantage in force-type attacks, if I compare myself to a genuine force-type powerhouse, there’s still significant room for improvement .

“Of all those under the swordmaster, Sword3 is the person who has gone the furthest in force-type ability . Out of the ten of us bodyguards, he’s also the one with the most in-depth comprehension of force-type attacks .

“He has the Celestial Giant bloodline, which means his strength, explosive ability and physique have surpassed even the Protoss . Given that he was able to cultivate using the Celestial Giants’ methods, he’s much more powerful in Divine Power usage compared to ordinary Protoss . You could say that he’s reached the peak in all aspects of force-type ability .

“If he used no other technique except force-type Sword Dao to fight, at my ability level I would probably only be able to sustain three sword attacks from him at most . Even if I brought out all of my techniques, he would only need around ten sword attacks to kill me .

“Going by your current force-type level, you might be able to take one sword attack from him…

“If you’d like to take steps for a breakthrough in this area, overall, there are only two ways to go about it . You either achieve a breakthrough with your Superhuman Strength divine ability so it becomes a rule—or you can master another God Rule Power or Elemental Enlightenment that can be used in force-type attacks . An example would be the Fire Elemental Enlightenment; it would be quite effective if combined with simulated Dragon Flame…

“Of course, everything I’ve mentioned is based on my personal understanding . They’re just some suggestions; they’re not necessarily correct . If you have ideas of your own, you can try them out and find a suitable breakthrough method that best suits you . ”
