Chapter 461: Crisis, Qian Renxue's Fatal Sword Strike!
Although it was only condensed from holy fire and was not a true Divine Artifact, given Qian Daoliu's strength, the longsword in his hand was still incredibly powerful.
In Qian Daoliu's view, his attack should have easily broken through the eight colored light barrier, but the final result was beyond his expectations.
The longsword condensed from holy fire did not shatter the eight colored light barrier upon impact. Instead, it began to dissipate from the sword tip. It was only because Qian Daoliu's control over the holy fire was incredibly precise that he managed to halt the dissipation and pull the longsword back.
His attack had actually failed.
Yu Yuanzhen, who was not far away, noticed this scene and could not help letting out a sigh of relief.
During the year he had spent protecting Yu Tianlin, because Yu Tianlin had remained motionless for such a long time, Yu Yuanzhen had feared that he might have encountered a problem. So, he had once decided to check on him. It was then that Yu Yuanzhen discovered that the eight colored dragon horn placed on Yu Tianlin's lap would automatically protect its master.
After discovering this, Yu Yuanzhen had specifically tested the defensive power of the light barrier formed by the eight colored dragon horn, and the result was that he could not break through it.
Of course, to avoid disturbing Yu Tianlin, Yu Yuanzhen had not gone all out during the test, so he was not entirely sure of the upper limit of the eight colored dragon horn's defensive light barrier.
Now, seeing that it could even block Qian Daoliu's attack, his previously taut nerves naturally relaxed a little.
Yu Yuanzhen was relieved, but Qian Daoliu found it unbelievable.
He was Qian Daoliu!
Now he could not even break through a thin light barrier. Was this not a joke?
Somewhat unwilling to believe it, Qian Daoliu no longer held back this time. He unleashed various incredibly powerful skills toward the eight colored light barrier, but none of them achieved much effect.
Even when he used spatial abilities to try and cleverly pass through the eight colored light barrier, he ultimately failed.
Trying to exploit a loophole with spatial abilities?
Sorry, the eight colored dragon horn also possessed spatial attributes.
That the eight colored dragon horn could block Qian Daoliu seemed exaggerated at first glance, but it was actually normal.
After all, the eight colored dragon horn was a Super Divine Artifact.
What was a Super Divine Artifact?
One had to know that Super Divine Artifacts were very important even to God Kings. A God King with a Super Divine Artifact and one without one were completely different concepts. The gap in their strength would be enormous.
A Super Divine Artifact had such a strong amplifying effect on the strength of a God King. So even without anyone actively controlling it, it was not so easy for Qian Daoliu to break through the light barrier released by the eight colored dragon horn.
After all, no matter how strong Qian Daoliu was, he was only a level 99 Limit Douluo. A Limit Douluo still had a considerable gap in strength compared to even an ordinary Divine Rank, let alone a God King Rank.
"Divine Artifact! This strange dragon horn is definitely a defensive Divine Artifact!"
Well, Qian Daoliu only thought it was a defensive Divine Artifact and did not consider it a Super Divine Artifact. Or perhaps, he simply did not know about Super Divine Artifacts.
Although numerous attacks yielded no effect, Qian Daoliu did not give up and began pondering methods to break through it.
Even if it was a defensive Divine Artifact, so what?
There had to be a way to break through it.
And just as Qian Daoliu was pondering, on the other battlefield, Qian Renxue's voice suddenly rang out.
"Yu Yuanzhen, aren't you a Limit Douluo?"
Qian Renxue had fought her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, many times, so she understood the situation of a Limit Douluo quite well.
After fighting Yu Yuanzhen for a while, she finally determined that Yu Yuanzhen's cultivation had not yet reached the Limit Douluo level. He merely possessed battle power comparable to a Limit Douluo.
This immediately greatly disappointed Qian Renxue.
Her eighth trial required her to defeat a Limit Douluo. If it was merely battle power comparable to a Limit Douluo, it obviously would not count.
That's right.
Yu Yuanzhen's cultivation was still only level 98.
If there had not been any special interference, Yu Yuanzhen actually had a good chance of breaking through to level 99 within a year. But during this time, he had been protecting Yu Tianlin, and with his attention divided, he still had not achieved that breakthrough.
"Level 98?"
Qian Daoliu was very confident in Qian Renxue's current strength, so he had not paid too much attention to the battle on that side. Now, hearing Qian Renxue's words, he carefully observed and noticed the clue.
"It really is."
Since Yu Yuanzhen did not possess the cultivation of a Limit Douluo, there was no longer much point in Qian Renxue continuing to fight him.
So, Qian Daoliu immediately said, "Xiaoxue, come here and use the Angelic Sacred Sword to break through Yu Tianlin's defense. I will restrain Yu Yuanzhen."
Since Yu Tianlin had a defensive Divine Artifact protecting him, then Qian Renxue could simply use an offensive Divine Artifact to break through it.
The battle had progressed to a point where the situation was already very clear.
If they could break through Yu Tianlin's defense, they could naturally use Yu Tianlin to threaten Yu Yuanzhen.
However, if they could not break through Yu Tianlin's defense, then even if they ganged up on Yu Yuanzhen, with Yu Yuanzhen's strength, he could completely retreat, and the two of them would not be able to stop him.
Therefore, the key to this battle actually still lay with Yu Tianlin.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Qian Renxue immediately disengaged.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed. Knowing something was wrong, he was about to rush forward and continue entangling Qian Renxue, but his movements were blocked by Qian Daoliu.
"It's fine for us two old fellows to fight," Qian Daoliu said with a smile. "It's good for young people to interact more."
With the opponents swapped, Qian Daoliu and Yu Yuanzhen began fighting.
Qian Renxue, now disengaged from battle, directly rushed toward Yu Tianlin. Endless holy light fire condensed on the blade of the Angelic Sacred Sword in her hand, and she fiercely slashed forward, clearly showing no mercy whatsoever.
If Qian Daoliu had previously only wanted to break open the eight colored light barrier to capture Yu Tianlin alive, then Qian Renxue now completely disregarded such thoughts, preparing to directly kill Yu Tianlin.
Capture Yu Tianlin, then use him to exchange for that piece of Angel God armor?
No.
Qian Renxue had no such intention in her heart.
Just kill Yu Tianlin directly. Then, together with her grandfather Qian Daoliu, they could find a way to deal with Yu Yuanzhen as well and reclaim the Angel God armor.
Wouldn't that solve everything?
With this thought in mind, the Angelic Sacred Sword struck the defensive light barrier released by the eight colored dragon horn.
Brilliant golden light and dazzling eight colored light bloomed at the same time.
The eight colored light barrier, which Qian Daoliu could not break through, finally showed cracks under the Angelic Sacred Sword's strike.
The Angel God was, after all, a First Rank God, so the grade of the Angelic Sacred Sword was not low.
Although the eight colored dragon horn was a Super Divine Artifact, it was not a defensive type, and no one was currently controlling it.
Under these circumstances, the light barrier released by the eight colored dragon horn naturally could not block the Angelic Sacred Sword.
After a moment of stalemate, the eight colored light barrier was broken, and the Angelic Sacred Sword stabbed straight toward Yu Tianlin.
At this moment, even if Yu Yuanzhen wanted to help, there was nothing he could do.
Just as Yu Tianlin was about to be pierced through, in this critical moment, his body, which had not moved for a year, suddenly raised its right hand and firmly grasped the Angelic Sacred Sword that was almost upon him, preventing it from advancing even an inch.
It was also at this moment that Yu Tianlin slowly opened his eyes.
