Chapter 373: One Against A Thousand (2)

Xu Jingming kept his back against the lake with a shield in each hand as he calmly watched the large group of guards surround him.

The Heavenly Net Formation and the Saber Mountain Fire Sea Formation had already been formed.

“Come on.” Xu Jingming’s eyes burned. “I want to see how strong a military formation formed by hundreds of qualified experts is!”

“Attack!” Commander Gui waved his hand and issued the order from afar.

At that moment, many of the residence guards were filled with confidence. About 300 guards were scattered around, carrying weapons, shields, nets, chains, and other items. There were also about 300 guards forming a tight military formation that roiled toward Xu Jingming.

The might of about 300 experts simultaneously rushing over made Xu Jingming feel a little suffocated.

Suddenly—

Pu! Pu! Pu! 

Many of the guards held nozzles. At that moment, many nozzles spewed out black liquid that enveloped Xu Jingming.

It’s kerosene. The dual-shield-wielding Xu Jingming didn’t dare touch the kerosene.

Whoosh.

He sensed the area enveloped by the kerosene and used his movement technique to find the weak spots. As for the small amount of kerosene that was difficult to avoid, he blocked with his dual shields.

As Xu Jingming’s dual shields blocked, they trembled slightly, sending the droplets of kerosene flying.

Bang!

Xu Jingming held his dual shields and charged into the military formation bravely. He had to enter the military formation to restrain the enemy.

“Die.” However, the guards were filled with confidence. No matter how strong the a.s.sa.s.sin was, they didn’t believe that he could withstand their Saber Mountain Fire Sea Formation.

Xu Jingming realized that there were dense saber beams around him. There were long sabers, short sabers, and curved sabers.

All sorts of saber beams attacked him from various angles in the military formation; he had to withstand a large number of saber beams every moment. There were even guards from the Heavenly Net Formation surrounding him, ready to attack at any moment.

Thankfully, he was using two shields. Xu Jingming knew that he wouldn’t be able to last ten seconds in such an environment with a spear.

Boom!

Xu Jingming’s dual shields were as fast as lightning, and the edges of the dual shields were like blades. Although they weren’t sharpened, they were still able to injure others with just a brush and kill them with a shield bash.

…

Under the heavy protection of the remaining 500 guards, King Qi finally arrived at the back garden.

He looked from afar at the scene of his two guard teams attacking Xu Jingming. Xu Jingming was still charging through the military formation like a rampaging monster.

King Qi’s expression changed. “Commander Gui, this a.s.sa.s.sin wasn’t holding a shield previously.”

“Your Highness, this shield is a standard issue of ours,” the one-eyed elder, Commander Gui, said. “I never expected this a.s.sa.s.sin’s shield technique to be so powerful.”

“How long will it take to kill him?” King Qi asked. He couldn’t hold back his killing intent.

“Your Highness, don’t worry. It won’t take long.” Commander Gui said, “It’s better to use shields to protect oneself than a spear, but the effect of killing the enemy is much worse. He has only killed less than 20 people despite charging through the military formation. It’s not easy for him to withstand the siege of the military formation. One mistake, and he’s finished.”

“Alright.” King Qi nodded. He could also tell that the a.s.sa.s.sin was like a trapped beast that was struggling to hold on against the battle formation.

King Qi stared coldly at the struggling Xu Jingming. “Anyone who attempts an a.s.sa.s.sination on me shall die!”

…

Xu Jingming’s dual shields were forced to focus on defense under the siege of the military formation. His efficiency in killing the enemy was much lower than with a spear.

Bang!

Xu Jingming was besieged, and he rolled in a sorry state to divert the forces before charging forward with his shield again. The outer layer of the two shields was riddled with holes as though they were recording the events of the tragic battle.

A military formation is indeed terrifying. Xu Jingming had long expected the military formation’s threat. He had picked up the two shields in advance and had chosen the area beside the lake in the back garden, but he still couldn’t withstand the formation.

There were about 600 qualified experts. Even if they attacked without any pattern, it was enough to make the top experts of Blood Rain World cower in fear.

And once it was a military formation, it was even harder for an individual to resist.

In the entire Blood Rain World, there was only one way to ignore numbers: use extremely terrifying psychic force to sweep through the enemy’s military formation—it made it difficult for the military formation to resist! It required about a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform’s mental strength.

Dean Ming was at that level.

And now, Dean Ming was dead! In King Qi’s opinion, n.o.body in the capital could deal with an entire military formation.

Pfft. 

A saber beam sliced across Xu Jingming’s back, leaving a wound. He quickly squeezed his muscles and controlled the blood flow.

Snowflakes fell and instantly melted on his face.

Xu Jingming’s eyes turned colder. I’m still a little weak at the end of the day.

I can only use a forbidden technique. Xu Jingming’s lifeblood circulated at high speeds, and his skin turned red. The heat rising from his body was like white mist!

White mist rose from Xu Jingming’s body, and this scene surprised and puzzled the guards, King Qi, Commander Gui, and the others.

Forbidden techniques allowed one to mobilize their body’s strength at a deeper level.

As Xu Jingming’s mental strength became stronger, he could control his body more perfectly, allowing his strength, speed, agility, and other aspects to improve slowly. As for forbidden techniques, they could unearth greater potential.

Back then… Tejano had used a forbidden technique during his battle with Xu Jingming in Earth’s virtual world compet.i.tion.

Although Paramount legacies were precious, there were dozens of them in the entire cosmic human civilization! They were all left behind by Paramount realm powerhouses in history! The confidentiality requirements for planetary lifeforms to cultivate portions of Paramount legacies were relatively low.

In the universe, some of the top families and advanced civilizations in the universe had their disciples cultivate the foundational portions of Paramount legacies from a young age.
