Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Wow, you're really good at using leverage to intimidate others.

Of course, Li Xiu dared not reveal that number. If he provoked Lin Yu to unleash an even more ferocious attack, he would have nowhere to turn to complain.

As expected, Lin Yu used the Seven Star Sword technique that Li Xiu had used earlier.

However, the Seven Star Sword in Lin Yu's hand was naturally not as smooth and perfect as Li Xiu's.

After all, although Lin Yu is a swordsman, everyone's understanding of swordsmanship is different.

Li Xiu has his own understanding, and Lin Yu cannot completely copy it. If he did, the power would definitely not be as great as it is now.

Lin Yu's Seven Star Sword also has its own characteristics. The seven stars are built on it, and its power will not be reduced because of insufficient spiritual power. It is exactly what it is.

The seven stars on the arrow immediately shone brightly, but even he couldn't understand what was happening.

Seeing that Li Xiu's previous creation only had six stars, while Lin Yu's attack had already reached seven stars, he naturally assumed that Lin Yu's attack strength would far surpass that of Li Xiu.

Although his idea is good, it's not as profound as one might imagine, and even compared to Li Xiuqiang's, it wouldn't bring about such a dramatic change.

Now that all seven stars have appeared at once, the way they erupted is somewhat different from the one Li Xiu had done before.

These seven stars also began to connect with each other. The seven stars that were originally arranged on the whole sword began to converge towards the tip of the sword under Lin Yu's control.

It seems that the star is part of the sword, and the position of the star will determine the focus of the sword's attack this time.

Since Lin Yu wanted to test Li Xiu's defensive capabilities this time, he naturally had to unleash his most powerful attack.

The most powerful attack often comes from the tip of the sword. So this time, the seven stars gradually shrank as they moved, turning into dazzling starlight patterns that were engraved on the tip of the sword.

With the enhancement of these starlight patterns, the tip of the sword also began to shine exceptionally brightly.

Li Xiu was also annoyed by this scene. Why did Lin Yu always have to use a single point to attack the whole picture?

The confrontation just now was also like that. In fact, Li Xiu's attacks could not be concentrated on one point. Under Lin Yu's guidance, he could only do so.

Now that Lin Yu is actually trying to use the same trick again, Li Xiu is very unhappy.

But there was nothing he could do; he was the weaker party, so he could only passively accept and see how he could resolve the problem Lin Yu had given him.

Moreover, Li Xiu had to be extra careful because it wasn't like an attack; it could freely switch between defense and offense.

If the difference in strength is too great, then you will only have the first opportunity to defend.

Chapter 1505 A Flash of Inspiration

If you miss the best time to defend yourself, you will be plunged into an endless abyss.

Li Xiu also carefully observed the intermittent light patterns on the sword in Lin Yu's hand. In fact, when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but recall Li Duotian's weapon, the Pangu Axe.

The totem on the Pangu Axe and the moves Lin Yu was using at this moment were remarkably similar.

If that's the case, then perhaps the key lies in the pattern itself.

If the connection between these divisions can be resolved, perhaps the sword's attack power this time won't be as great as I imagined.

Li Xiu had actually found a way to break the enemy's attack methods, but whether this way could achieve the desired result still needed to be tested.

However, Li Xiu trusted his intuition. Since this was the first thing that came to mind, he would do it. If all else failed, he would resort to the Thirty-Six Stratagems and make a retreat.

Without this burden, Li Xiu became even more confident.

Seeing the change in Li Xiu's mindset, Lin Yu also revealed a smile.

"Good lad, you still dare to laugh with a formidable enemy at hand. I don't know whether to praise you or mock you."

"Since you're so confident, I'll unleash all its power."

The next moment, all the patterns condensed on the tip of the sword, and the dazzling light, due to its overwhelming power, pierced through the space itself.

Li Xiu looked at the attack before him and thought to himself.

"If you want to break the opponent's attack connection, then a very dense defense is obviously useless."

He needs to find techniques that can penetrate the concentrated attack while also unleashing their own power.

Li Xiu also rapidly activated his own universe of techniques, wanting to see what sword techniques could achieve the same effect.

While there are other techniques that can achieve the same effect, they are not on the same level as the fierce attack Lin Yu unleashed.

But there was nothing Li Xiu could do but bite the bullet and use his strength. Regardless of whether he could withstand Lin Yu's attack head-on, he was still going to lose this battle.

Although Li Xiu's moves are incredibly diverse, he still lacks truly high-level skills.

Especially after encountering a hidden freak like Lin Yu, although their attacks can be very powerful, their defensive techniques seem somewhat inadequate in the face of a true powerhouse.

Having weaknesses means there's still an area that needs improvement, and Li Xiu decided to enrich his skills in the universe of techniques after this battle.

He especially needs to work on those skills that are only in their infancy and haven't been thoroughly researched.

However, Lin Yu's attack is still a difficult hurdle for Li Xiu to overcome. What should he do?

Li Xiu is now also thinking that if he uses some underwhelming moves, it will make him seem somewhat incompetent.

However, if he doesn't defend, he might get seriously injured in this situation. It has to be said that Lin Yu is very strict with others.

Chapter 1506 Dividing Your Mind

Regardless of his true intentions, Li Xiu is now facing a predicament, and he has yet to find a good way to resolve it.

Wang Xuan watched the fight from below the stage with great tension, knowing he had already lost a round.

If the helpers I found turned out to be outmaneuvered by Li Xiu and Li Duotian, wouldn't I get a good beating and lose all right to continue lording it over people in Wuzhuang Temple?

After all, this matter has already become a big deal, and everyone knows about it. If Wang Xuan cannot deliver a satisfactory result, it will have a huge impact on him.

Wang Xuan was now praying that Li Xiu would have no way to counter this move and would be hit and seriously injured.

As for Li Xiu, although he knew that pure defense could not relieve the pressure that Lin Yu brought him, he could only resort to tricks.

He needs to defend, but at the same time, he also needs to manage his energy to launch an attack.

Use impact to neutralize some of the attacks, thereby relieving pressure on your defense.

However, multitasking would be much more difficult.

However, for Li Xiu, who had cultivated in that cave for so long, this was nothing.

However, he needs to maintain a good balance, because this is not something he can do without pressure. He needs to be able to multitask under the pressure of Lin Yu's powerful attacks.

Only by both withstanding the defense head-on and unleashing a powerful attack can one possibly break the deadlock.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, did not exert more pressure on Li Xiu. He simply maintained the current state, using his point-like attacks, which were formed by runes as energy sources, to continuously pressure Li Xiu.

To be honest, this kind of attack, whose intensity remained unchanged no matter how it was attacked, was also giving Li Xiu a headache.

The pressure is already so great from the start, and with the balance of power shifting, the pressure will only increase.

But pressure can also be a driving force. Under such great pressure, Li Xiu once again found a very good way to deal with the current predicament.

This move is not a sword technique, but rather a spell-like technique that requires circulating one's spiritual energy within the body through a strange circuit before unleashing it.

In terms of its offensive capabilities alone, this spell is actually not very offensive.

Relatively speaking, it's somewhat of a double-edged sword, because all it can do is interrupt.

It's not difficult to use, and it doesn't consume much of your energy, but it has only one effect.

It can disrupt the connection between the opponent's moves, regardless of whether the moves are coordinated or not. This strange spell can break the connection between them.

Of course, this strange spell can only be successfully cast once against the same opponent, meaning that Li Xiu can only break one connection, and he will have to deal with the rest himself.

Judging from the current situation, the pressure that Lin Yu brought to Li Xiu was composed of seven connections, and this could only reduce a small part of it. Li Xiu was still a little apprehensive about the rest.

But this is the best method Li Xiu can think of so far, so he has no choice but to take a gamble.

Then, Li Xiu secretly began to perform hand seals where no one could see him, and this strange spell was quickly formed.

Chapter 1507 Strange Spells

The speed at which this move was formed shocked Li Xiu. It seemed that although this move was somewhat useless, if used well, it could very well become his trump card.

After all, if you encounter someone who is good at magic attacks, that feint will lead to the release of their ultimate move.

If you can unexpectedly disrupt that crucial connection, it could significantly reduce the effectiveness of your subsequent powerful attacks.

Using a very small amount of force to neutralize an opponent's burst of power—this technique can also achieve the effect of using minimal force to overcome great strength.

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later. Li Xiu needs to constantly practice in real combat situations to fully master this move.

Now, Li Xiu could only pray that his strange spell would have an unexpected effect.

Lin Yu's attacks continued to pressure Li Xiu, because he sensed that his opponent didn't seem to have any good moves to defend against his attacks.

If that's really the case, then he can't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

After all, if both offense and defense cannot reach a comparable level of intensity, even a slight imbalance in performance can lead to a huge tragedy for a top player like Lin Yu.

Therefore, as long as a weakness exists, that weakness will be magnified infinitely, and its value will be greatly reduced.

Lin Yu's time for Li Xiu was almost up. Since Li Xiu couldn't come up with any better moves, Lin Yu would have to suppress Li Xiu and launch an attack.

If Li Xiu can't even withstand this move, then don't blame him for being ruthless and merciless.

Of course, Lin Yu is still very particular, and the level of suppression he used at the beginning has not changed.

They continued to advance slowly at a very authoritative pace.

Li Xiu cooperated perfectly, showing a slightly panicked expression.
