Lu Ping transmitted a message to Lu Zhiwei.
Regarding this Red-tailed Crocodile, Lu Ping was naturally aware that based on Lu Zhiweiâs strength, she clearly wasnât a match.
However, with the existence of the system, some impossibilities can be turned into possibilities.
"Father, are you going to assist me?"
Upon hearing Lu Pingâs communication, Lu Zhiweiâs expression brightened with delight.
At this moment, if there was help from her father, then dealing with this Red-tailed Crocodile had great hope.
"Hmm, we can give it a try."
Lu Ping casually replied, and then found that item [Four-Star - Critical Strike] in the system mall.
This itemâs effect allows, after selecting a sect member, to grant them double critical strike damage when performing techniques.
This effect lasts for the duration of a stick of incense.
This Red-tailed Crocodile is at the First-Layer Crystallization Stage.
With Lu Zhiweiâs Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment strength and this critical strike effectâs enhancement, it is expected that in a short period, she can inflict damage on the Red-tailed Crocodile.
If not, according to Lin Zhiyin and othersâ plans, using a Communication Flying Sword to call for one or two Crystallization Stage Great Cultivators nearby for help, not to mention whether support could be obtained in time.
Even if a Crystallization Stage Great Cultivator came to aid, it would still take some time.
Why not have Lu Zhiwei try this critical strike effect now?
Spending 500 Points of Reputation, Lu Ping exchanged for this [Four-Star - Critical Strike].
The target was chosen as Lu Zhiwei, and the effect took place instantly.
However, even after this effect was exerted, Lu Zhiwei herself couldnât feel any change.
"Zhiwei, I have bestowed upon you a critical strike enhancement effect. Within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, any technique you perform will have double critical strike power."
Lu Ping communicated, informing Lu Zhiwei of the specific effect.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiweiâs expression subtly changed, with a hint of surprise in her heart.
"Try it first, perform a sword technique."
Lu Pingâs message followed closely.
Lu Zhiwei nodded slightly, selecting a Mid-stage Tier Two Earth Fire Rhinoceros nearby as a target, and executed a basic technique from the Golden Palace Sword Technique.
Ordinarily, such a technique would struggle to break through the Earth Fire Rhinocerosâs defense.
However, this was merely an attempt at the critical strike effect.
Upon executing the sword technique, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword swung out with an upward to downward diagonal slash, aiming at the Earth Fire Rhinoceros.
The Earth Fire Rhinoceros was attacking a Qi Cultivator, and seeing a Flying Sword slashing directly towards itself from the front, a trace of anger flickered in its eyes.
The Earth Fire Rhinoceros utterly detested enemies that took the initiative to attack it.
Thus, at the moment the azure Flying Sword slashed down, the Earth Fire Rhinoceros, relying on its formidable defense, decided not to avoid it and charged headlong with its rhino horn, confronting the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.
It intended to use this blow to withstand Lu Zhiweiâs sword.
With a clang,
the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword ferociously struck the rhino horn, exploding into a massive burst of sparks, accompanied by a muffled explosion.
The incredibly tough rhino horn was, at this moment, cut off by the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.
The Earth Fire Rhinoceros let out a terrified roar, almost in disbelief.
"There really is a critical strike enhancement."
Observing the power of her own slash, Lu Zhiwei couldnât help but exclaim in amazement.
Lu Zhiwei naturally knew the defensive strength of the Earth Fire Rhinoceros.
As strong as Lu Yuanshan was, when he dealt with an Earth Fire Rhinoceros of the same tier, wielding the Chongming Sword in one strike, he failed to sever the opponentâs rhino horn.
Looking back at Lu Zhiweiâs side, Lu Ping had already formed a rough understanding of the critical strike effectâs enhancement.
Seeing such a remarkable effect from one strike, Lu Zhiwei promptly seized the momentum, commanding the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword from afar to unleash powerful Ancient Sword Qi, slashing towards the Earth Fire Rhinoceros.
The Earth Fire Rhinoceros suffered a loss, with its horn severed, it already grew wary of Lu Zhiweiâs Flying Sword.
Confronting this attack, it quickly chose to dodge.
However, no matter how fast it was, it couldnât outpace this technique Chasing Wind and Moon under the critical strike effect.
The Flying Sword cut straight into the Earth Fire Rhinoceros, cleaving it in half.
Such a decisive strike, splitting open the Earth Fire Rhinoceros, caught the attention of many cultivators nearby.
One by one, they looked at Lu Zhiwei in astonishment.
"To slice through the Earth Fire Rhinocerosâs defense with one strike, how does this personâs strength seem so formidable?"
"Itâs Lu Yuanshanâs sister."
"These siblings are simply prodigious!"
"Captain, impressive!"
The sounds of surprise and applause rose and fell in succession.
Lu Zhiwei paid no heed to these voices.
After experiencing the critical strike enhancement, Lu Zhiwei commanded the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword to fly back in front of her.
"Try tackling that Red-tailed Crocodile."
Lu Ping suggested.
Lu Zhiwei had the same intention and was naturally willing to heed Lu Pingâs advice.
Raising a beam of sword light, Lu Zhiwei soared into the air, with the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword hovering in front of her, emanating a cyan glow.
"Directly use your strongest technique, do not delay."
Lu Pingâs communication came once more.
The duration of a stick of incense is not long; it must be seized well.
Without any hesitation, Lu Zhiwei immediately performed the Profound Pure Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, utilizing the Shadow Transformation Sword Form from it.
With Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword hovering before her, it split into nine, forming nine Flying Swords, combining into a Sword Array, pointed far towards the Red-tailed Crocodile.
"Whatâs Captain Lu planning to do?"
Lu Zhiweiâs actions, which had already drawn some cultivatorsâ attention, now sparked a cultivatorâs curiosity and bold speculation upon seeing her seemingly targeting the Red-tailed Crocodile.
"Could she be...?"
Before the words were finished, the next moment, sounds of clashing against the air came from Lu Zhiwei.
The nine Flying Swords formed by Shadow Transformation Sword Form, in a Sword Array, shot at the Red-tailed Crocodile like a storm.
Nine azure streaks of light were remarkably conspicuous in the sky.
Many of these cultivators had noticed this Red-tailed Crocodile and knew its strength, witnessing Lu Zhiwei confronting it head-on, how could they not be surprised?
The captainâs strength doesnât even seem to reach the Crystallization Stage, engaging a Crystallization Stage Demon Beast now, isnât this like striking a stone with an egg?
With this thought forming, the next second, they saw Lu Zhiweiâs attack crash into the Red-tailed Crocodile with a boom.
The Red-tailed Crocodile clearly underestimated Lu Zhiweiâs strength; after Lu Zhiwei launched her attack, it didnât even attempt to dodge but went to meet it directly.
As a result, it firmly took Lu Zhiweiâs Shadow Transformation Sword Form attack.
The nine Flying Swords struck the Red-tailed Crocodile solidly, shattering its formidable defense, causing a vast explosion of blood on its body.
Although this attack only breached the Red-tailed Crocodileâs defenses without killing it,
just watching Lu Zhiwei breach the Red-tailed Crocodileâs outer defenses and injure it was a scene many nearby cultivators witnessed.
"So strong!"
"She...she actually hurt the Red-tailed Crocodile!"
Many cultivators gasped, astounded by Lu Zhiweiâs strength.
