Divine King of Honour Chapter 1949: Shield Technique Advancement

"Swish!"

Another wind blade sliced through the air.

This attack headed straight for Xu Nian, moving so fast that there was no chance for Xu Nian to dodge.

Xu Nian didn’t hesitate and directly took out a God-level low-grade shield.

This was something he had crafted in his spare time.

"Clang!"

The wind blade slammed onto the shield, producing a sound like an explosion.

Xu Nian’s entire body paused, emitting a rumbling noise like a mountain collapse.

"The force is immense; although it lacks One Level power, it’s not far off," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

From having directly endured the attack just now, Xu Nian could roughly judge the power of the wind blade.

The divine-level experts on the side watched with disdain as Xu Nian used a shield to block the wind blade.

Is a tiny wind blade truly in need of a shield for defense?

"Swish!"

At this moment, another wind blade swept toward the middle-stage God from Wuwan Mountain.

The middle-aged man in the middle stage of godly power simply used his hand as a blade, slicing out a hand chop that instantly shattered the wind blade.

"First-level Heavenly Dao?" Xu Nian quickly assessed the man’s real strength.

Earlier, this middle-stage God expert’s casual chop should be around Four Extremes of power.

If his guess was correct, this middle-aged man’s strength should be similar to Xu Nian’s, and at full capacity, he could likely reach above Ten Extremes.

If it came to a clash, Xu Nian felt confident he could hold his own in a fight.

As for those late-stage God experts, their strength would likely be at least Twenty Extremes or even higher.

The middle-aged man blocked the wind blade and didn’t forget to cast a glance at Xu Nian.

There seemed to be a hint of boasting in his manner.

Xu Nian naturally didn’t mind it.

"Xu Nian, don’t pay them any heed; just do whatever you think best and protect yourself," Song Ren quickly communicated to Xu Nian.

"Mm-hmm, I will, Brother Song," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

His goodwill towards Song Ren increased noticeably.

After this, everyone continued forward.

As they proceeded, the wind blades they encountered grew more frequent.

Xu Nian endured several attacks in succession, but he managed to block them all using the shield.

While employing the shield, Xu Nian gradually familiarized himself with its usage, redirecting force, and became more adept at utilizing shield techniques.

Initially, Xu Nian had to bear the recoil with his body, but later, he learned how to completely redirect this rebound force, reducing the wind blade’s damage to almost zero.

Xu Nian’s development caught the attention of Lu Qingyue and Feng Ye Master.

However, Feng Ye Master only took a glance and indifferently shifted his attention elsewhere.

In his view, the shield technique was nothing more than clever tricks.

But Lu Qing Yue cast a meaningful look at Xu Nian.

She could clearly see that when Xu Nian first used the shield, he was quite inexperienced in his handling.

Yet as he blocked the wind blades a few times, Xu Nian quickly became proficient at using the shield.

This improvement seemed small, but to achieve it was rather difficult.

Therefore, she was sure that this young man was quite insightful.

Moreover, being late-stage Divine-level and able to block the wind blade solely with a shield was no ordinary feat.

Other gods stood tall and fundamentally looked down on this young man, so they missed this point.

Xu Nian was unaware he had caught Lu Qing Yue’s attention.

At this moment, his mind was mostly absorbed in studying the use of the shield.

He discovered the shield’s application was surprisingly intricate, akin to swordsmanship; besides defense, it could also be offensive.

Smashing, leaning, sticking, and collapsing were all attack techniques for the shield.

If truly unleashed, the shield’s offensive power would also be quite strong.

Redirecting force was just the basics.

"Swish!"

Another wind blade came slicing.

Xu Nian began attempting to use the shield to counterattack.

This time, Xu Nian employed the Collapse Shield!

"Boom!"

A thunderous crack sounded.

The wind blade exploded right upon contact with the shield.

The terrifying impact reverberated through the surrounding air with a loud bang.

"What’s going on? Blocking a wind blade creates such a loud noise?" The crocodile-headed monster instantly objected.

The others were also repulsed, feeling that Xu Nian made a big fuss over a minor defense.

Yet Lu Qing Yue displayed a hint of surprise on her face: "That fellow is using the shield like a hammer?"

Clearly, she had already discerned Xu Nian’s intent.

Xu Nian disregarded the opinions of those around him, continuing to immerse himself in studying shield techniques.

From then on, Xu Nian consistently utilized the shield to impact these wind blades.

Whether smashing, slashing, or collapsing...

Every action resulted in explosive sounds.

Those guys initially disliked it but gradually grew accustomed.

However, Lu Qing Yue was repeatedly surprised by Xu Nian’s rapid progress.

Every time, he improved!

Now she could sense that with one Collapse Shield, Xu Nian could unleash Four Extremes of power.

This was without utilizing any Heavenly Dao power.

If Heavenly Dao power was incorporated, the power would likely be even stronger.

Xu Nian was also very pleased with his progress.

He didn’t expect this visit to Divine Wind Mountain Ravine could hone his shield techniques.

But soon, Xu Nian’s training opportunity ended.

Because they had arrived at the depths of Divine Wind Mountain Ravine, which was the lair of the Split Wind Divine Butterfly.

"Everyone, be careful; the Split Wind Divine Butterfly is deep inside. I can sense its presence; this creature is strong, beware its attacks," Feng Ye Master suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone became serious.

Xu Nian and the others began activating the formation magic, ready to operate the formation for defense at any time.

"Screech!"

Just then, a piercing scream sounded.

Followed by an immensely terrifying wind blade shooting out from the depths of the ravine.

This wind blade was not the invisible one from before but a massive green blade spanning ten zhang (about 33 meters).

The speed of this blade was astonishing, and its power was much greater.

This wind blade’s attack level approached Twenty Extremes.

This wind blade charged right at the group of nine.

The others’ faces changed sharply, and they activated the formation one after another.

The formation surged, star radiance instantly formed into a Nine-star Radiance.

The Nine-star Radiance condensed into a light shield.

"Boom!"

The wind blade hit the light shield, causing it to shake a few times before it shattered completely.

Seeing this, Xu Nian and the others rejoiced.

This formation is powerful!

"Screech!"

Yet before they could celebrate, another terrifying shrill sound came through.

This time, all of Xu Nian’s group covered their ears, yet felt immense pain.

Blood flowed from their ears, and they felt as if their very souls were being torn apart.

"This is the Split Wind Divine Butterfly’s sonic attack, which harms the soul. Everyone, protect your mind," Feng Ye Master promptly cautioned.

Everyone around focused on guarding their minds against the dreadful sonic attack.

Xu Nian also activated the soul heart method of the Nine Infant Avatar, fortifying his mind.

Immediately his head became much clearer.

Yet in his heart, he was still secretly amazed by the Split Wind Divine Butterfly’s power!
