C94 Heaven Shaking Thunder Bead(1)
Blade, commanding as a mountain.
Sword, shimmering like a star.
Whip, moving like a dragon.
Under the swordsman's guidance, the three unleashed their martial skills with extraordinary power. Yet, Woo Zhengyang seemed unfazed, observing their seamless movements with a thoughtful gaze.
In the past, he might have simply admired their teamwork. But now, with his newfound understanding of formations, he noticed something deeper. Their movements weren't random; they followed a coordinated attack technique.
This technique, rooted in tradition, could unleash unimaginable power when executed well, much like a strategic formation. Initially, Woo Zhengyang planned for a quick victory, but seeing their coordinated attack piqued his interest. He wanted to test his own understanding of formations.
Seeing Woo Zhengyang standing still, the three attackers were delighted, thinking they had him cornered. Despite this, they didn't hold back, each weapon targeting his vital points.
From a distance, Lee Yunsheng watched and shook his head in resignation. But in the next moment, his eyes widened in surprise, as did those of the disciples from the Profound Heaven Sect and the other sect present.
"What's going on here?" asked Lee Yunsheng, a disciple from the Profound Heaven Sect, in disbelief, his mouth hanging open.
Amidst the nearly flawless combined attack from the three members of the Heavenly Martial Academy, Woo Zhengyang didn't even raise a hand. He simply stepped around a bit and then returned to his original spot. The attack from the Heavenly Martial trio completely missed its mark.
"How is that possible?" The swordsman from the academy was equally shocked, staring at Woo Zhengyang, who stood unharmed in the center as if he'd seen a ghost.
"This kid must have gotten lucky. Our combined attack technique is unbeatable!" said the man with the whip, trying to reassure himself despite his shock.
The swordsman remained silent, his expression grim.
"Golden Triangle? Not so impressive!" Woo Zhengyang chuckled, clearly in a good mood.
In truth, the combined attack technique of the Golden Triangle wasn't that weak. Their coordination was clearly the result of long practice. Even a martial artist at the Martial Master Stage might suffer a setback if caught off guard by their technique.
However, Woo Zhengyang was at the level of a master strategist. While the combined attack wasn't riddled with flaws, identifying the key to breaking it was simple for him. The secret to countering their technique was not to retaliate directly.
If anyone retaliated, regardless of their skill level, they'd fall into the deadly strikes of the other two. However, by not fighting back and stepping on the array gate, they could safely unravel the situation.
"Arrogant!" The swordsman, infuriated by Woo Zhengyang's taunt, shouted angrily, his sword's momentum shifting as he declared, "Three-Star Inquiry!"
The swordsman's outburst snapped the other two out of their shock, and they resumed their combined assault with full force. This time, they didn't attack simultaneously but in rapid succession. Before one could exhaust their strength, the next was already stepping in, ensuring that two of them were always attacking Woo Zhengyang.
Woo Zhengyang still didn't fight back, moving swiftly with the Floating Light Step. Initially, he was a bit clumsy, narrowly avoiding hits by leveraging the extreme speed of his Sword-shaped Genuine Qi. But soon, he got the hang of it, aided by the fact that the sword energy of a Martial Disciple couldn't extend too far. Otherwise, even with his mastery of formations, dodging wouldn't have been so effortless.
When Woo Zhengyang first evaded their combined attack, they could dismiss it as a fluke. But as he continued to dodge their strikes, the three attackers were left speechless, secretly alarmed. What frustrated them the most was that Woo Zhengyang occasionally got so close they couldn't even strike back, forced to watch helplessly as he darted away again.
The trio adjusted their formation once more, but Woo Zhengyang kept weaving unpredictably from side to side, leaving the three onlookers dizzy, as if they were dreaming.
Is this really the legendary trio from the Heavenly Martial Academy? Their famed synchronized attack looks more like a circus act with swords and spears!
The trio's combined technique shifted nine times, yet Woo Zhengyang didn't make a single move. At this moment, any trace of arrogance had vanished from their faces. Each of them was on high alert, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.
"It's just his swift movements; let's fight individually and not get trapped by their synchronized attack!" The one wielding the whip tried to reassure himself, though he couldn't deny that his strategy was sound.
