177: Chapter 177 God-level Parry Skill, the Power of Sword Intent!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Ming Kong's body floated in mid-air, waving his arms.

With a casual air, he released streaks of pale cyan attacks toward Zhang Jian.

Although Zhang Jian's body was being pushed back step by step from the strikes,

compared to before, when his shields were ineffective and his body struggled to bear the pain,

now, he remained expressionless, appearing much more composed.

This was thanks to the entry skill he had just upgraded.

[Sword Intent Block] (Mythical) (+8)

Lv10/10

When you receive an attack higher than the true damage type, the Sword Intent state is automatically activated.

During this period:

You will possess an absolute block value equal to your basic five-dimensional attribute value x1000 (+5000 points) (+9600). Attacks not exceeding this amount will be automatically blocked.

This effect can withstand any damage type not higher than Dao-Grade, with the effect halved for mental-type attacks.

Max Level Trait:

[Sword Intent Rebound]: After consecutively blocking 10 attacks from the same target, the Sword Intent Rebound effect is triggered: You can choose to reflect 50% (+200%) of the accumulated attack damage value back to the opponent at once. The damage type is Erosion Damage.

(Entry upgrade progress: Use this entry to block 689/10,000,000 attack points)

After the quality of this skill was upgraded, the effect became much simpler than before.

But its power also rose accordingly.

It was no longer just a simple shield, but a direct block with super-high priority.

Although the initial effect was only the basic five-dimensional attributes multiplied by 1000.

For other Professionals at Zhang Jian's level, their attribute values were basically less than 200 points.

For top-tier jobs, they could have close to 200-plus points.

Even for Divine-Grade jobs, they barely exceeded 300 points.

This was equivalent to a block value effect of 300,000 points.

Even if upgraded to the max level, it was only a bit over 1 million block points.

For mythical level BOSSes that easily deal millions in damage, and various attack skills with tens of millions in damage,

even if useful, it could not play a decisive role.

But it was different for Zhang Jian.

After converting it into an entry skill effect,

he could upgrade the entry's effect by blocking.

Under Ming Kong's terrifying damage, it didn't take many moves for this skill to continuously level up, directly reaching the +8 effect.

This was equivalent to more than doubling the original max-level skill effect.

If it were just this, it would only be one tier stronger than others, which wouldn't be outrageous.

But Zhang Jian's basic attributes turned this skill into a truly divine skill!

The effect of the epic-grade [Soul Conversion] skill alone allowed him to acquire an additional 4500 points of Mental Energy.

After upgrading to the mythical level, he had also successively exchanged for as much as 4300 points.

Coupled with the [Dao Law Unification] skill, which provided additional boosts to all attributes based on various passive skills,

his current five-dimensional attributes had long exceeded 10,000 points.

This resulted in the [Sword Intent Block] effect reaching a terrifying blocking number the moment he received damage.

Even if the exact value was hard to calculate, with just a rough estimate, Zhang Jian knew.

This number was at least over 200 million!

Even if Ming Kong was an anomaly among mythical level BOSSes, possessing power that exceeded the monster system of Water Blue Planet,

it was impossible for him to have such terrifying damage capability with a casual strike.

This resulted in him appearing to suppress Zhang Jian and holding the upper hand,

but as the Sword Intent on Zhang Jian grew denser and the blocking effect grew stronger,

Ming Kong gradually discovered a terrifying fact.

When he attacked again, he could no longer injure Zhang Jian!

This shock was truly no small matter.

Deep confusion filled his eyes.

You see, in order to better unleash his own strength and completely eliminate Zhang Jian, this Prodigy variable of Water Blue Planet,

Ming Kong had completely abandoned the possibility of retreating unscathed.

Not only did he burn and sacrifice his entire Soul to boost the strength of this possessed body to the maximum,

but he also spared no effort to cross space-time, relying directly on his consciousness to connect with his true body, which was located who knows how many light-years away.

Yet even under these circumstances, he still couldn't take down such a small Human Race Cultivator.

This made the expression on Ming Kong's face extremely complex, both ashamed and anxious.

Fortunately, Zhang Jian had lost his legendary rank growth-type weapon and various high-quality skill bonuses,

so his basic attack was also quite limited.

Even though he could continuously deal damage to Ming Kong by relying on the effects of the [Combo Resonance] and [Shaking the Gods with a Mortal Body] entries,

this damage effect was relatively weak.

Since the battle with Ming Kong began, other than when Zhang Jian fused and upgraded his skills, where the effect of the mythical level skill caused Ming Kong's body to move,

Zhang Jian's continuous attacks during this period could barely make Ming Kong step back even once.

For a time, the two fell into a strange stalemate, with neither able to do anything to the other.

But the difference was that Zhang Jian was in the middle of a team trial mission, and today was the final day of this mission's time limit.

Even though Ming Kong's sudden emergence and Fusion with the otherworldly God Race had brought a huge variable,

the total time for the trial mission was fixed.

Zhang Jian only needed to hold on for another 40 minutes, and as long as everyone survived, the mission would be considered complete.

The entire Ta City would have its restrictions lifted, and the boundaries covering Ta City and the wilderness would vanish into thin air.

By then, even if Zhang Jian still couldn't deal with Ming Kong, the level 70-plus Hai Mengen and Yun Haiyi could act normally.

Taking a step back, even if they couldn't handle Ming Kong's powerful abilities, they could call for external reinforcements.

At this moment, Hai Mengen had already sent many messages to the Reception Envoy, who had long since boarded his airship and was rushing here quickly.

He was just waiting for the moment the mission time ended to launch a thunderous strike against Ming Kong.

Even though his strength far exceeded the level of the original level 69 mythical level BOSS he was possessing, he was not in his true body after all.

Against a human Professional Prodigy like the Reception Envoy, who was as high as level 90, he would have absolutely no advantage.

Therefore, when the various parties watching the battle in the city saw that Zhang Jian could easily block the opponent's attacks, their expressions all relaxed.

They were just waiting for the time to run out.

Ming Kong hadn't realized this at first, but as they fought, he discovered this problem too.

He even vaguely sensed several powerful auras that had suddenly appeared outside Ta City.

Although in his view, they were just ordinary humans who hadn't reached the planetary tier 1 strength.

But for this body of his, they already posed a great threat.

They might even cause damage to his true body because of the connection he had just triggered.

Thinking of this, he became somewhat anxious.
