Sealed Divine Throne-Chapter 15

“Elder Sister, be careful.”

When Long Haochen warned her, his foot had already moved. The distance crossed by each of his steps wasn’t much, but his pace was high. What he just executed was a knight’s short distance charge. Both of his swords, the first in front of Long Haochen and the second one behind his back, almost arrived in front of Li Xin in a flash.

A fast and strong thrust went straight towards Li Xin’s left shoulder, filled with the power of the sheer momentum concentrated in the charge.

Li Xin showed a smile as she quickly raised the sword in her left hand, blocking Long Haochen’s attack. She then calmly attacked with her other sword. She wanted to see if that little guy could be harmed by an attack of that level.

Bang!

Without any sign, Long Haochen’s right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, causing him to cancel its previous motion, forcefully ending his all-out charge, and making his body float for a moment. Meanwhile, the thrust out refined-iron sword was quickly retrieved along with the motion, just in time to counter Li Xin’s provocation.

Nalan Shu’s eyes shined. Skill interruption?

Long Haochen took back into his hand the refined-iron sword at this moment. The edge of his sword momentarily shined and, right afterwards, with at least twice his prior speed, a light shined on the edge, aiming for Li Xin’s left shoulder once again.

Pure-White Edge, Thorny Charge. He was using two knight abilities and, practically perfectly, mixed them together, which created an opening in Li Xin’s offense. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

The knight skill called Thorny Charge was able to raise the speed of the attack and, at the same time, gather spiritual energy. Coordinated with the second ability that condenses the spiritual energy, Pure-White Edge, that hit’s power had already greatly outstripped Long Haochen’s 107th spiritual energy level.

However, Li Xin was not a Standard Knight, she was a Genuine Knight, and the instant the sword moved, she was already prepared to guard against it, with her right hand’s sword arriving in front of her body in that critical situation. No matter how much Long Haochen enhanced his attack, it couldn’t be enough to pierce her defenses.

Ding!

When the two swords met each other, Long Haochen’s thrust hit near the top of the blade. The power of the thrust wasn’t really lacking compared to a cross cut; however, because of the superiority of Li Xin’s spiritual energy compared to Long Haochen’s, she blocked the attack but couldn’t help drawing two steps back.

Pa!

The sword in Long Haochen’s right hand was repelled, but his movements were not stopped so easily. The sword in his right hand was raised at the same time he took a step forward, unexpectedly continuing his assault.

A second charge, and at such a close-distance! But it was repelled, even though that attack was the second one in a row.

Long Haochen’s tough right hand was swept in from the side. The second charge only consisted of three steps, but during those three steps, his body seemed very stable. Then, his foot rotated, shifting his body into a swift whirl. The sword in his left hand was raised, and the thin, shining white light of Pure-White Edge’s severe chop was directed straight towards Li Xin.

Li Xin’s eyes were filled surprise, but she showed her inborn talents of a genius knight at that moment. Her right foot was directed towards the back, her body taking a stable posture. Then, bending forward with a sword in each hand, she stabbed ahead letting out a sort of lightning which took the shape of ten sword shadows aimed at the front of Long Haochen’s body.

Lightning Thrust, a 3rd step knight’s skill.

A defense and counter-attacking move.

But the next scene completely dumbfounded Nalan Shu, who was standing to the side.

A sound rang out and Long Haochen’s full-force attacking sword immediately collided against Li Xin’s sword. Although there was a difference of almost 100 levels between Long Haochen’s and Li Xin’s spiritual energy, that attack of his was supported by skills and managed to draw force from the momentum. As both swords met, the result was surprising: No one had the advantage. However, Li Xin was the one who was slightly repelled.

Suddenly, Li Xin used Lightning Cut, which quickly headed towards Long Haochen. At that moment, Nalan Shu thought about interrupting the fight and Li Xin was already preparing to stop her hand.

But Long Haochen’s right hand, that was just repelled by the attack, suddenly moved.

A sort of illusion was emitted by the sword, blasting the area in front of his body and with a loud noise: Lightning Cut was completely blocked.

Because she was afraid of harming Long Haochen, Li Xin didn’t go all out and her attack was not only warded off, but also countered at that moment.

Wielding both swords, one horizontally and one vertically, was a sign of the knight skill Instant Blast Cross Cut.

There was already nothing left of Li Xin’s previously amused look. After she had released her Lightning Cut, she had no power left. Additionally, because she didn’t expect Long Haochen to be able to block her previous attack, she didn’t prepare any response to that counterattack.

A thin golden light started shining from Li Xin’s body. Her right hand was placed on the ground and a golden ray suddenly burst out, rising to two meters in height.

With two Dang! sounds, Long Haochen’s Instant Blast Cross Cut was stopped by a layer of golden light and bounced back. At that moment, he also drew back a few steps, taking a defensive posture. The energy consumption of the previous succession of attacks wasn’t small.

Li Xin shot a serious look toward Long Haochen, who just drew back. “Little guy, you compelled Elder Sister to use the Heavenly Battle Array to deal with your attack. Be careful, now Elder Sister is going to attack.”

Heavenly Battle Array, a 3rd step Retribution Knight skill that draws support from the holy light of the knight and takes the shape of a layer of light, with an effect that’s similar to an all-out defense formed of spiritual energy.

With her foot pushing on the ground, Li Xin jumped as the sword in her right hand chopped straight towards Long Haochen. She was truly somewhat depressed at that moment because to defend against his attack, she was forced to act shamelessly by using the Heavenly Battle Array against Long Haochen. Her face was starting to look hectic. The important matter was to reclaim the face she just lost.

This time, Long Haochen didn’t strike back. He lifted his right hand, and, in a split second, he seemed like a venerable sculpture. Even though it was only for a little moment, it made Nalan Shu widen his eyes.

With a neat Dang! sound, Li Xin was shocked and was moved back, stupefied.

Her spiritual energy was at least twice Long Haochen’s. Not only that, she had jumped into the air. So even if she was showing mercy, her attack force would still be considerable. To Li Xin, Long Haochen should be the one to draw back; however, she was the one who was forced back. Her right hand, which still held the sword, was completely paralyzed.

“I can’t attack, how is that possible!?” Li Xin fell to her knees with a depressed look. It could be seen on her face that she didn’t understand Long Haochen’s current defensive posture.

Seeing that Li Xin stopped, Long Haochen sheathed his own pair of swords. Feeling embarrassed while seeing Li Xin’s depressed look, he didn’t know what he ought to do at that moment.

“Uncle Nalan, please tell me, what is all of that about? Long Haochen is only a 1st rank Standard Knight, so how is it possible? How was he be able to repel me?”

As she said that, Li Xin saw the expression on Nalan Shu’s shocked face. This time, he was the one who looked like a sculpture, standing there while showing a stupefied appearance.

“Uncle Nalan, what is up with you?” Li Xin asked with an expression full of doubts.

“Divine Obstruction? Xiao Haochen, quickly tell me, was what you just used the Divine Obstruction?” Nalan Shu made a few steps before arriving in front of Long Haochen, his eyes full of impatience and showing a shaken expression.

Li Xin’s heroic face was immediately struck dumb with amazement, “Uncle Nalan, aren’t you mistaken? That was a Radiant Knight’s Divine Obstruction? That’s impossible, absolutely impossible! Aren’t Radiant knights the only ones able to use Divine Obstruction?” 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

Radiant Knight, the 6th step of the vocation. Divine Obstruction was a skill that was their trademark and also the skill known to cause the most changes to a knight’s body.
