Modred felt a tremendous threat. Relying on his high agility attribute and combat experience, he raised the Shadow Spear to block the sword light.
The sound of metal clashing echoed loudly as the sword and spear collided.
Immediately after, with a clang, the Shadow Spear was cut by the Aurora Blade, and the tip flew off, embedding itself in the wall.
Modred looked at the broken half of the spear in his hands, his eyes full of disbelief.
This was a Level 9 quenched A-rank weapon, yet it had been cut in half.
However, Lu Heng didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. The fourth Windwalker Charge was complete, and he shot forth again, raising a Sonic Boom Cloud and unleashing the fourth sword strike.
Modred's pupils shrank sharply, feeling extreme danger. He immediately shouted and used the skill "Knight Protection."
A circle of the Knight's Shield appeared around his body, blocking the sword light.
The sword light slashed through, and the energy shield of "Knight Protection" explosively shattered, instantly dissipating.
Modred was filled with shock because this skill "Knight Protection," an A-rank Defense Skill capable of enduring barrages of cannon fire, was nearly invincible.
Yet such a powerful defense was shattered with a single sword strike.
What panicked him even more was that Lu Heng's fifth Windwalker Charge followed closely. The sword light, like a Milky Way blade, lit up the dark night.
In this critical moment, Modred tried to use the B-rank skill "Commanding Will" to control Lu Heng.
Lu Heng felt a surge of spiritual power attacking his mind, buzzing in his ears.
However, since Modred was not a Spiritual Superpower User, his use of "Commanding Will" did not prevail in the spiritual power check against Lu Heng.
Lu Heng's spiritual power was higher, and with the Spirit Resistance Ring, he was not controlled by "Commanding Will."
The sword light hesitated only for an instant before slashing towards Modred.
Although it was just a fleeting moment of stalling, Modred was strong enough to use this gap to dive to the left, rolling over and barely escaping the strike.
After dodging this strike, he finally realized how strong Lu Heng's combat power was.
Five consecutive strikes, each capable of breaking through his defenses.
Even the nearly invincible "Knight Protection" could only block one sword.
Continuing , he definitely couldn't withstand the next strike.
Therefore, he sent out the attack signal.
At this time, Lu Heng was charging up, preparing for the next strike.
Su Muyu's voice came through the communicator, "Energy fluctuation! An energy fluctuation has appeared! Three kilometers away, in the northern direction."
The distance of three kilometers was precisely the maximum range of the sniper known as Ghost Sniper, Harris Bob.
This Ghost Sniper was known for his elusive presence—once an energy fluctuation was detected, it meant he was preparing for a lethal shot.
Therefore, the moment the energy fluctuation appeared was when he fired his gun.
Lu Heng quickly turned his head northward and immediately saw a flash of light on a lakeside cabin three kilometers away.
Clearly, Harris Bob had fired.
At this point, as Lu Heng was performing the Windwalker Charge, it was difficult for him to make an evasive maneuver. Even if he abandoned the charge, dodging a sniper bullet traveling at supersonic speeds would be nearly impossible.
In that instant, Lu Heng directly activated the Source Material Energy, using "Void Flash," and his figure instantly shifted 30 meters, appearing at another location.
In the instant he performed Void Flash, a supersonic bullet passed through the spot where Lu Heng had been standing. After 6 or 7 seconds, the sound of the sniper rifle reached him.
A distance of 3000 meters, even at the speed of sound, would take 8.8 seconds to cross.
But the Ghost Sniper had fired a supersonic bullet, enhanced by a skill, travelling several times faster than a normal sniper bullet.
Thus, Lu Heng first saw the gunfire, then the bullet passed through where he had been standing, and after 6 or 7 seconds, he heard the gunshot.
After avoiding this shot, Lu Heng's Windwalker Charge was also complete, and he darted forward, slashing at Modred.
In this fleeting moment,
Modred felt the arrival of death and had no choice but to use his last resort.
His body burst out with Source Material Energy, utilizing the Source Material Ability "Shadow Protection" from "Shadow Knight," diving into the shadow, avoiding the sword.
As Lu Heng's sword passed, the sword light clearly moved through Modred's body, but it touched nothing.
This effect was precisely the ability to dive into shadow, exempting all physical collisions, while "Shadow Protection" could also defend against non-physical attacks.
In terms of defense, "Shadow Protection" was stronger than "Shadow Traversal."
"Shadow Traversal," on the other hand, could provide a speed boost, giving it an edge in offense.
Seeing Modred dive into the shadow, Lu Heng's lips curled up slightly, and he used "Shadow Traversal" to dive into the shadow as well.
Windwalker's 360% speed boost, combined with the 300% boost from "Shadow Traversal," the overlapping effects under an agility attribute of 105 points, pushed his speed to 558.6 meters per second.
At this extreme speed, while in shadow, he faced Modred's "Shadow Protection" and unleashed the Rift Sword Radiance.
The Sound Explosion Level Rift Sword Radiance slashed into the protective layer of "Shadow Protection," and the frenzied energy violently burst forth.
The protective layer of "Shadow Protection" shattered thunderously, and Modred screamed as he fell from the shadow, his Qi-Blood churning, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
