Chapter 434 - 430: A Fierce Battle with Shi Yong (2)
Watching Shi Yong gradually closing in, Ling Chen gripped the Tianling Blade in his hand even tighter.
Indeed, none of the top ten on the Newcomer List are ordinary characters. In the twinkling of a thought, Ling Chen made a swift decision. With a light tap of his toes, he shifted from defense to offense. The cold light of the Tianling Blade flashed as the blade swiftly extended, slicing towards Shi Yong’s shield.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the blade steadily chopped onto the solid shield, leaving not a single mark. From the sound emitted by the shield, it could be inferred that the shield was made of pure steel, not only hefty but also extremely hard, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to break through its defense.
After several probing attempts, Ling Chen suddenly noticed something. Shi Yong, when facing an opponent, displayed great steadiness, not rushing for quick success but focusing on solid defense. After each defensive move, he wouldn’t seize the chance to attack but would stabilize his defense on the spot.
This might be related to his family’s history, where soldiers in ancient armies were primarily focused on maintaining stability. As the battlefield is ever-changing, one could lose their life at any moment. Therefore, the most important thing on the battlefield wasn’t victory, but survival, and Shi Yong had indeed inherited this excellent family tradition.
However, for Ling Chen, this was an opportunity.
Clang!
The attack was blocked by the shield once again. Without hesitation, Ling Chen immediately moved his feet, shifting to Shi Yong’s left side, continuing to press the attack. Having understood Shi Yong’s habits, he knew that Shi Yong would not counterattack. Thus, he could attack boldly, continuously seeking vulnerabilities in the relentless onslaught to try and break Shi Yong’s defense.
However, after a round of aggressive attack akin to a storm, Ling Chen felt that he had exhausted half of his energy, yet Shi Yong’s defense was still impenetrable, without the slightest opportunity to exploit.
