"Brother Lin, about this Array Formation Restriction, do you have a way to break it?"
Dracula’s voice carried a trace of urgency and expectation, his gaze locked tightly onto Lin Dong.
Lin Dong’s eyes turned toward the mid‑air above the Ancient Hall ahead.
All around the Ancient Hall were crumbling walls carved by the passage of ti, but the most eye‑catching thing was the brilliant Array Barrier suspended in the air.
Complex and unfathomable light patterns flowed across its surface, emitting a fluctuation that made one’s heart tremble.
At the mont, Lin Dong did not answer Dracula’s question; his attention had been completely drawn in by that Array Formation Restriction.
He slowly paced around it, carefully observing the Barrier, his brows tightly knitted, as if trying to brand every tiny detail into his heart.
After a long while, Lin Dong finally moved.
He took a deep breath, Inner Qi in his Dantian surging, converging in his palm to form a beam of dazzling light.
With a low shout, he suddenly swung forward. That strike, which gathered all the power of his body, was like a teor tearing through the night sky, smashing straight into the Array Barrier.
"Boom—!"
A deafening boom echoed through the ruins, as though even space itself was shaken by this blow.
However, to their surprise, that seemingly indestructible Array Barrier did not shatter. Instead, like a flawless Mirror, it sent Lin Dong’s attack rebounding back without the slightest distortion.
Facing this sudden turn of events, Lin Dong’s eyes sharpened, but his movents were not slow in the least.
His Mind Control flashed like Shandian, and in the Dragon Ring Space, that set of ancient, ti‑worn Battle Armor—the ’General Armor’—responded to the summon Instantly and covered his body.
This layer of Battle Armor flowed with a faint ghostly glow, complex Runes carved all over it, as if containing power from antiquity.
"Clang!" The rebounded attack slamd hard into the General Armor, producing a crisp tallic clash.
Lin Dong only felt a trendous force crash into him, yet relying on the General Armor’s formidable Defensive power, he actually withstood the strike steadily, his figure not moving an inch.
After stabilizing himself, Lin Dong quickly analyzed what had just happened.
Inwardly, he evaluated that the force rebounding back was actually exactly the sa as his initial strike—whether in intensity or attribute, there wasn’t the slightest diminution.
This bizarre energy feedback chanism made him frown involuntarily.
Seeing this, Dracula hurriedly stepped forward a few paces, a bit of helplessness in his tone:
"Brother Lin, just as I said before, this Array Formation Restriction is extrely weird."
"It’s as if it has its own consciousness and can perfectly rebound according to the strength of your attack."
"Last ti, I tried to force it open with my strongest strike. Not only did I fail, I almost died under my own attack instead."
"Luckily my defensive Skills are decent, and I barely managed to block that fatal blow."
"Otherwise, I’d have been killed by my own attack’s rebound. That would’ve been really awkward..."
By the end, a trace of lingering fear seeped into Dracula’s voice.
Clearly that experience had left a deep impression on him.
Lin Dong fell into silence, pondering counterasures.
"Brother Lin, your Sword two is very powerful. But are you confident you can use Sword two to cleave this Array Barrier apart in one stroke?" Dracula asked Lin Dong.
Lin Dong shook his head. "Of course I’m not sure. Without trying, I don’t even know this Barrier’s maximum tolerance."
"Then we’d better not try Sword two. Otherwise, we won’t be able to withstand the rebound at all. At that ti, not only will Brother Lin die under the rebound of his own attack, I and Ye Linglong will probably be buried with you..."
Lin Dong nodded. He naturally understood this as well and would not lightly unleash the full power of ’Sword two’ against this Array Formation Restriction.
"Let’s test it first. My defense is relatively strong. You guys hide behind . I’ll keep trying and gradually increase the power to see if I can forcibly break this Array Barrier..."
Lin Dong turned his head and spoke to Ye Linglong and Dracula.
He especially told Ye Linglong to stand at the very back.
Ye Linglong nodded and moved to the rear.
As for Dracula, Lin Dong had him stand at his side to resist the force together with him.
"Brother Lin, this thod works. The Defensive power of the Two people added together—unless a true Secondary Ancestor unleashes his strongest blow—even he can’t break through the combined defense of the two of us..." Dracula said.
At the mont, Lin Dong wasted no words and instructed Dracula, "Directly bring out your strongest defense. I’m going to try Sword one first. I’ll use my strongest Sword one and see if I can cleave this Barrier, or at least cause a certain range of fluctuation to it..."
"Sword one?" Dracula didn’t Take Sword one of Lin Dong seriously at all. He felt that even without using his strongest defense, he could block it.
"Swish!" Dracula activated his Heavenly Realm Sacred Body, feeling that the Golden Light Shield generated by the Heavenly Realm Sacred Body alone would be enough to block it.
Lin Dong himself continued to wear the General Armor.
"Whoosh～～～"
The Yangxin Sword appeared in his hand. Lin Dong gripped the Yangxin Sword and slashed toward the Array Barrier ahead.
"Sword one!" What Lin Dong unleashed was ’Sword one’, but in this Sword Intent, he used his full ten‑tenths of power.
"Boom～～～" The Sword Qi of Sword one struck the Array Barrier, yet it did not shatter it.
It rely made it tremble slightly.
After that, the Sword Qi of Sword one was completely rebounded by the Array Barrier.
Lin Dong, clad in the ’General Armor’, could naturally withstand it. Ye Linglong was standing by his side; with Lin Dong blocking it, she wasn’t hurt in the slightest.
"Bang～～～"
However, because Dracula had underestimated the power of Lin Dong’s ’Sword one’, when the Sword Qi rebounded, he used his Heavenly Realm Sacred Body to take it head‑on and simply couldn’t endure it.
The Sword Qi on his body felt as if he had suffered the strongest blow of a top‑tier expert just below a Secondary Ancestor.
If he had used his strongest defense, he would of course have been able to resist it. Unfortunately, he hadn’t, so how could he possibly withstand it?
His body, under that trendous Sword Qi, was sent in reversed flight and crashed heavily to the ground.
From his Mouth, he spat out a Mouthful of fresh blood.
Dracula lay on the ground, then struggled to climb back up, and asked Lin Dong, word by word:
"Lin... Brother Lin, you’re sure this is... Sword one? Not... Sword two?"
Lin Dong nodded and said, "This is Sword one. Brother Dracula, haven’t you already got half a foot past the Secondary Ancestor Threshold? How co your strongest Defensive power is only this much? That shouldn’t be."
"Having touched the Secondary Ancestor Threshold, your strongest Defensive power shouldn’t be unable to withstand my Sword one to the point of coughing up blood. At most, you should just be pushed back a few steps..."
Dracula: "..."
He was truly convinced now.
This Lin Dong, what kind of freak was he?
Even Sword one could knock him flying!
"I thought that after touching the Secondary Ancestor Threshold, my strength had increased greatly and I might have a chance to fight Lin Dong to a draw. Now it seems, draw my ass."
"I still underestimated him. Even as I am now, three of together still wouldn’t be his match."
Dracula muttered to himself, finally realizing that even as he was now, there was still an enormous gap between him and Lin Dong.
