Both can increase their upper limit by relying on the spiritual power within the Black Tortoise Formation, making it almost impossible for either to defeat the other in the short term.
Murong Ziyi was positioned directly above the center of the Black Tortoise Palace, giving her the best field of vision, but also exposing the most attack positions. This was a major taboo for martial artists in close combat, but Murong Ziyi had no choice but to do so.
The opponent is too fast; she needs excellent vision to calculate all of their movements and predict their speed in order to have a chance to catch them.
Ordinary sorcerers naturally couldn't use her method, but if an ordinary sorcerer encountered a martial artist of the same level in such a confined environment, they would basically be doomed, let alone have any tactics.
The reason she was able to contend with him was due to the unique nature of the Black Tortoise Spell.
The Black Tortoise Spell is known as the most defensive technique among the Earthly Fiend Spells!
Black Tortoise is a tortoise and a snake, a very peculiar species. The snake is mainly offensive, while the tortoise is mainly defensive. Its defensive techniques are techniques that can be performed with almost no need for reaction speed.
Any action that could harm Black Tortoise Sorcerer, regardless of the method, will be stopped before it even gets close to the Black Tortoise Sorcerer!
White Plain, who was moving at high speed at this moment, deeply understood this point!
She discovered that no matter what method she used, whether it was magic or pure force, it would be blocked by a thin layer of ice, even her own poison!
White Plain glanced at the clusters of purplish-black pink crystals a few meters away from the other party, her brows furrowing.
That was her own poison. As a Heavenly Python, her talents were actually very comprehensive. She was proficient in both physical skills and magic, and she was also a rare venomous snake among the Heavenly Python species. Therefore, she had a great advantage when facing sorcerers. Even within the Divine Martial Guild, none of the sorcerer players of similar level to her could last long against her.
This is one of the reasons why Kagura chose to bring her along.
But facing this guy truly made her feel troubled.
I truly understood what it meant to be at a loss for words when I was at a loss for what to do.
Not only can spells and physical techniques not get close, but even one's own poison cannot get close. Whether by air or by melting water, it cannot get close to the opponent and will be blocked at a distance of three meters. The thin layer of ice that appears at any time is like an indestructible wall that can block any action that is detrimental to the spellcaster.
Bang!
After another angled attack, White Plain quickly retreated from her original position. This was her 1,700th attack, covering almost all of her opponent's positions. However, as soon as she got close, her attack was blocked, followed by a dazzling lightning strike!
Yes, this is the attack method the opponent is currently displaying.
It wasn't the Black Tortoise Spell, but rather the lightning magic that she was most renowned for!
In this air mixed with water elements, Lei Fa's attack methods are extremely diverse, especially on the thin ice blocking her way, where his power is even more evident. White Plain has never been hit by his attacks, but she knows that if she were hit even once, she would probably lose her mobility. And once she loses her high mobility, the opponent's hidden killing move will probably be revealed.
That's not even the worst part; the worst part is the other party's resilience!
She had tested it many times, and the opponent's automatic defense spell did not consume spiritual power and did not need spiritual power to maintain it. After activating the formation in the Black Tortoise Hall, this guy actually entered a meditative state!
In her hundred years of life, this was the first time she had ever seen a sorcerer play like this!
Entering a meditative state to recover spiritual energy during combat would normally be suicidal, but not for her. Her techniques can trigger defense in any dangerous situation without needing to be maintained. And each time she attacks, although it interrupts the opponent's meditation, it doesn't consume too much of her spiritual energy. The opponent only needs a few breaths of meditation to recover.
This is practically equivalent to constantly draining your health at full strength!
How do I fight this?
For the first time, White Plain was caught in a dilemma and felt frustrated during the battle. For the first time, she felt that fighting against others was such a frustrating thing.
"Are you a real turtle? Always hiding in your shell?" White Plain couldn't help but mock.
She was usually indifferent, but this frustrating playing style still made her unable to resist making sarcastic remarks.
Murong Ziyi didn't even raise her head, continuing her meditative state, "That's just how Black Tortoise is. You say I play like a tortoise, but what about you? You hit and run, acting like an assassin."
White Plain: "."
"I don't know why you can withstand this special Arctic wind, but I suppose you can't keep it up forever?" White Plain said softly. "You don't need to try to provoke me. If you want to admit defeat, do it now. But if you wait until your spiritual energy is exhausted, I can't guarantee your life."
"Quite the boast!" White Plain took a deep breath and continued moving.
Before coming here, I had heard Kagura mention the Black Tortoise Spell. The Black Tortoise Spell. Don't be fooled by the fact that your opponent is currently hiding like a turtle in its shell. Once they pinpoint your location, they can be quite formidable.
Among the Four Saints, the Black Tortoise Spell's instantaneous explosive power can even be considered the best!
The tortoise is primarily defensive, while the snake is primarily offensive. Avoid being attacked by the snake, even just once, even a slight touch. At the same level, such an attack will result in annihilation!
However, this high-speed movement is very physically demanding. While the other party can rest, meditate, recover their spiritual power, and maintain the barrier, one's own physical strength is constantly being depleted, especially the Black Tortoise Mark on one's body, which consumes one's spiritual power every moment. Both physical strength and spiritual power are being rapidly depleted, just as the other party said, they don't need to do anything, and one will collapse on their own.
what to do?--
"Is this the legendary Black Tortoise Spell?" Heaven and Earth Hall, Shen Qi watched in amazement. He had only heard of the Four Saints Sorcerer in legends, and had rarely seen them in actual combat, especially the Black Tortoise Spell, which had not appeared for ten thousand years. He never expected it to be so peculiar.
"Isn't this technique a bit too underhanded?"
"Hahaha." Chen Qing couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, seemingly recalling the curses from players in many of the old posts.
When the first Black Tortoise Sorcerer appeared, he was incredibly famous. He single-handedly took on the strongest guild at the time, and a total of four hundred players were worn down and killed by this Black Tortoise Sorcerer, which shocked the forums.
Many players are calling this spell a scoundrel.
When Chen Qing designed this technique, he himself felt it was somewhat shameless.
"Could Your Lord King of Qin possibly find a way to break this?" Chen Baifeng asked curiously.
To be honest, they really wanted White Plain to win, because if White Plain won, the score would be two to one, which might break the current stalemate.
"No matter how powerful the technique, it is still controlled by people. Whether it can be broken depends on the interplay of human nature," Chen Qing replied with a smile.
"A battle of wits?" Chen Baifeng and Shen Qi both frowned slightly. That's what they said, but this extremely shameless Black Tortoise Spell left them with no way to win through psychological warfare.
Chen Qing glanced at Kagura.
The Four Great Guilds must have known the Four Saints Sorcerer' weaknesses by the time they were able to hunt them down so many times.
However, this weakness depends on the person. Skilled Black Tortoise Sorcerer have almost no weaknesses, and forcing Black Tortoise Sorcerer to reveal that weakness is not easy. With the preparations made last night, Kagura should have made some preparations, right?
However, there was something else that Chen Qing was curious about: if the Celestial Master Mansion cared so much about the outcome of this competition, why give everyone a day to rest? Wouldn't that give the participants ample time to prepare?
Perhaps it was out of necessity?
Moreover, this Warlock Dynasty has been planning against the Four Saints Sorcerer for so many years, so they must be very familiar with the characteristics of the Four Saints Spell, right? They should also know what weaknesses they have.
In order to win, they will probably make some arrangements for Murong Ziyi.
This is interesting. Given that both sides are aware of the weaknesses of the strategy, what will be the final point of contention?
Thinking of this, Chen Qing looked towards Kagura.
Kagura returned Chen Qing's gaze with a slight smile, her eyes utterly indifferent. It was unclear whether she was unconcerned about the outcome or simply determined to win.
