Chapter 342: Five Elemental Sword Guards!

Ling Feng held the Eradicator of Realms in front of his chest, carefully observing the Five Elemental Sword Guards surrounding him. The five guards emitted true qi of the five elements which were intricately linked, clearly forming a powerful five-element array.

"The power of these Five Elemental Sword Guards adjusts according to the strength of the challenger. Good luck!"

Ding!

As the voice of the spirit faded, the gold sword guard was already swinging its broad sword, aiming to decapitate Ling Feng in a single strike.

What speed!

Ling Feng's eyes twitched. He stepped back three paces using the Boundless Sword Steps, narrowly avoiding the strike. He then spun the Eradicator of Realms at his waist to deflect the attacks from the water and fire sword guards closing in from both sides. Then, he leaped wildly to avoid a sneak attack from the earth sword guard emerging from the ground.

Even in the air, Ling Feng wasn't safe. He heard the sharp sound of something slicing through the air behind him; the gold sword guard had already swung its sword again in a ferocious slash.

Clang!

Ling Feng quickly brought his sword up to block. The coordination between these sword guards was astonishingly precise. It wasn’t just an ordinary two-sword combination but a seamless five-sword fusion!

Additionally, using the five-element array, the Wood Sword Guard, although not attacking directly, continuously replenished the others’ energy and elemental force.

This fighting style was downright rogue!

Ling Feng felt a surge of frustration. Under their relentless assault, he had to rely on the abilities of his Heavenly Dao Eye to see through their moves and dodge constantly. However, he had no time to launch any counterattacks.

Despite his substantial true qi reserves, he couldn’t outlast these non-human entities composed entirely of elemental force.

"I'll have to take some minor injuries and take down one first!"

Determined, Ling Feng activated the Mountain Shaking Transformation of the Four Transformations of Eight Desolations.

Instantly, his muscles bulged, and his aura surged. To his dismay, the Five Elements Heavenly Palace seemed to sense his power increase. Five beams of colored light descended from the sky, infusing with the Five Elemental Sword Guards and amplifying their auras, making them even more formidable!

Ling Feng forcefully suppressed the invasive elemental forces with his true qi. He knew he had to eliminate the water and fire sword guards while the Wood Sword Guard was occupied healing the gold sword guard, or else the injuries he sustained would be in vain.

Unfortunately, his plan proved too optimistic.

The water and fire sword guards, having landed a successful hit, renewed their assault with increased ferocity. Their combined attacks, more insidious than the gold sword guard’s brute force, left Ling Feng struggling to find an opening.

Meanwhile, the earth sword guard continued to emerge sporadically, launching sneak attacks and bolstering the defenses of the water and fire sword guard with earth elemental energy.

Ling Feng quickly found himself on the defensive once more.

And to his despair, the extremely powerful gold sword guard was fully restored!

The golden light in the gold sword guard's eyes flashed, and with a powerful leap, it returned to the battle. The Wood Sword Guard, having completed the healing, resumed supplying all the sword guards with a constant stream of spirit energy, replenishing their already insignificant losses.

The pressure on Ling Feng intensified to its peak. His grip on the Eradicator of Realms was slick with sweat.

This combination seemed invincible!

Ling Feng felt as though he were fighting an unbeatable team single-handedly.

If this were a sword competition on the arena platform, the opponents could easily overwhelm him and bring down his battle flag, leaving him utterly defeated.

The Five Elemental Sword Guards, devoid of any emotions, attacked again with relentless precision. Despite Ling Feng’s rapid reactions, his injuries multiplied under their ceaseless onslaught.

It became clear that the spirit was not exaggerating; failing this trial meant certain death!

The swordsmanship of the Five Elemental Sword Guards had reached the novice level of sword will mastery. Combined with their flawless coordination within the five-element array, their attacks, though simple in execution—slashes, chops, thrusts, and sweeps—were nearly impossible to counter under the relentless barrage. Ling Feng had no choice but to rely on the Boundless Sword Steps, constantly dodging and retreating.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amid the whistling sword wind, Ling Feng dodged left and right, occasionally deflecting sneak attacks from the earth sword guard. Without the Heavenly Dao Eye to reveal their weaknesses and the ghostly speed of the Boundless Sword Steps, Ling Feng would have been skewered by the Five Elemental Sword Guards long ago.
