Chapter 370: Wind Blade Formation, a Fierce Notoriety
The first level of Storm Mountain, the Wind Blade Formation, is well-known for its fierce reputation. As soon as they stepped into it, Lin Fan and his party felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Originally just a whistling wind, now it seemed to be driven by some mysterious force, turning into sharp blades, whistling in the air, approaching their bodies with a chill.
The sound of the wind around them became sharper, as if countless vengeful spirits were howling. The air was filled with a chilling murderous aura, and the surrounding rocks had been cut into pits by wind blades, like scars left by thousands of years of fighting. The wind blades were like invisible swords, moving with the wind but leaving no trace. As soon as the four of them stepped into this area, they felt the biting cold coming towards them, as if every gust of wind could tear their skin apart.
Jin Buk was the first to draw his sword, his eyes were sharp. His eyes darkened, and he whispered, "Everyone be careful, the wind blades here are not ordinary winds. Each one can easily cut through steel. Once you are caught in it, the consequences will be disastrous."
As soon as he finished speaking, a whistling wind blade attacked from the side like a poisonous snake. Jin Buke's eyes condensed, and he swung the long sword in his hand suddenly. The sword energy was like a rainbow, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, he slashed at the wind blade. The wind blade was cut by the sword energy in an instant, turning into countless tiny air currents that dissipated in the air. However, before Jin Buke could catch his breath, more wind blades attacked them from all directions, as if they were endless.
Lin Fan stood in the center of the team, his eyes flashing like lightning. The Chaos Tower appeared in his hand, and the tower glowed with a faint golden light, quickly forming a shield that enveloped them. As soon as the shield was formed, several wind blades hit it, making a harsh friction sound, as if invisible blades were scraping metal. Tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the shield. Although it was not broken, the power of the wind blades made the four people nervous.
"The power of this wind blade is too strong. Even the Chaos Tower's shield can't completely resist it." Lin Fan frowned and whispered, "Moreover, this formation seems to be getting stronger as we advance. The power of the wind blade is still increasing. If we can't get out as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will be surrounded by endless wind blades."
Jin Buke said in a deep voice: "In this case, we can only force our way in!"
Before he finished speaking, Jin Buke suddenly raised his sword, and rushed out like lightning. His long sword swung in the air, and the sword energy crisscrossed like an invisible barrier, slicing the oncoming wind blades one by one. However, the wind blade formation seemed to sense their actions, and the murderous aura in the wind suddenly increased. The number of wind blades increased exponentially, and it was as dense as a rain of knives in a storm, attacking from all directions.
"This wind blade formation seems to be testing our limits." Lin Fan looked calm and analyzed quickly, "With every step forward, the power of the wind blades will increase. If we can't break through in a short period of time, I'm afraid we will be completely torn apart by these wind blades!"
Jiang Shuiling's eyes were focused, and her hands quickly formed seals. The spiritual energy gathered around her body to form a light blue water curtain. The water curtain was as light as smoke, but extremely flexible. The wind blades hit it, only stirring up circles of water waves, but could not really hurt her and Zhong Ling'er.
"Although this wind blade is powerful, it is not invulnerable." Jiang Shuiling's eyes flickered and she whispered, "If we can use the spiritual power shield to dissipate most of the impact, we may be able to rush out before the wind blade reaches its strongest."
"I'll help you." Zhong Ling'er stood in the water curtain, holding the staff tightly in both hands, and silently chanting a spell. In an instant, several rays of light flashed on the top of the staff, and the spiritual power turned into several transparent barriers in the air, floating above the heads of the four people. The wind blades came and hit the barriers, making a dull roar, but they could not penetrate the spiritual power protection.
"Everyone, follow me closely, don't separate!" Lin Fan shouted, and the golden light of the Chaos Tower became more and more dazzling, firmly protecting the four people. He walked slowly and led everyone to the exit of the wind blade formation.
The wind blades became more and more dense, and the murderous aura was overflowing, as if they were going to devour them completely. However, the four of them cooperated tacitly, and the Chaos Tower's shield, water curtain, and spiritual barrier all resisted the impact of the wind blades. Although the pace was difficult, they moved forward steadily.
Lin Fan felt that the power of the wind blade formation was gradually increasing. He frowned and warned in a deep voice: "The wind blades are getting denser and denser! If this continues, our defense will be completely torn apart sooner or later."
Jiang Shuiling panted and nodded. The spiritual power in her hands was running rapidly. The water curtain was almost cut into pieces by the wind blades, but she still held on and gritted her teeth and said, "Hold on a little longer! We will rush out soon!"
Zhong Ling'er waved her staff gently, and several beams of light fell from the sky, shattering the approaching wind blades, but sweat had already seeped out of her forehead. Obviously, the strength of the wind blade formation was far beyond their expectations.
"Doesn't this wind blade formation have an end?" Zhong Ling'er couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Yes!" Jin Buke's voice was full of fighting spirit. His figure flashed in the wind. As he swung his sword, the sword energy whistled like a gust of wind, shattering the oncoming wind blades one by one. He took the lead and cut out a narrow passage.
"Hurry up!" Jin Buke shouted and rushed out first. Lin Fan and others followed closely behind. Under the protection of the Chaos Tower, the four of them rushed forward with all their might.
The wind became more and more fierce, and the wind blades were almost impenetrable. The four people were in it, as if they were in the core of the storm, and every inch of their skin could feel the cold murderous aura. But with their tenacious will and powerful strength, they finally broke through the outermost edge of the wind blade formation.
The moment they rushed out of the wind blade formation, the strong wind behind them seemed to stop instantly, and the invisible pressure in the air also disappeared, as if everything before was just an illusion.
"Huh..." Lin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead covered with sweat. He raised his hand, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and whispered: "The wind blade formation is finally over."
Jiang Shuiling panted slightly and smiled gently, but there was still some solemnity in her eyes: "This is just the beginning, the next is the Thunder Prison."
Lin Fan nodded, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes: "The Wind Blade Formation is only the first level, the next Lightning Prison is probably even more dangerous."
Jin Buke tightened his grip on the sword again, his eyes burning with endless fighting spirit. He looked ahead and said in a deep voice: "Neither thunder nor storm can stop us from moving forward."
Zhong Linger looked up into the distance. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and thunder rumbled, as if thunder would strike at any moment. She frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy: "This lightning prison... I always feel something is wrong."
Lin Fan turned to look at her and smiled: "No matter what lies ahead, we must keep going. This is our destiny and our choice."
The four looked at each other. Although they were exhausted, their eyes were shining with determination. They had already stepped into the test of Storm Mountain. No matter how many difficulties they faced, they would not retreat. The wind blade formation was only the first level they faced, and the real challenge had just begun.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, held the Chaos Tower in his hand, and said softly: "Let's go, the Lightning Prison is ahead, we can't stop."
