Chapter 1478 - 767: The Struggle Between Water and Fire

Although the Earth Fiend Sword Formation takes longer to deploy compared to other attack methods, and its effects require some time to manifest.

At the same time, it’s relatively easy to be disrupted by the enemy.

However, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation itself is a group attack method, which is both offensive and defensive with outstanding capability.

Particularly when dealing with a sufficiently strong opponent, it can exert great pressure, forcing the opponent to quickly reveal some flaws.

As the controller of the Sword Array, Lin Tianming can seize this rare opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.

Understanding this point, Lin Tianming certainly would not allow Jiang Haifeng to easily disrupt his painstakingly established strategy.

Therefore, in the next moment, Lin Tianming controlled the Earth Fiend Sword Formation while unleashing a barrage of Sword Qi, charging towards Jiang Haifeng’s oncoming attack.

Lin Tianming clearly understood just how formidable Jiang Haifeng’s strength truly was.

The more he understood this, the more he needed to pin Jiang Haifeng down before he could escape the coverage of the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.

As long as the Sword Formation Barrier kept getting smaller and eventually reached a certain range and intensity, it would be increasingly difficult for Jiang Haifeng to leave.

With this goal in mind, Lin Tianming moved quickly and decisively.

In this scenario, just as Jiang Haifeng’s attack was about to smash into the Sword Formation Barrier, Lin Tianming’s attack also arrived.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Soon, with a series of loud explosions, their attacks clashed head-on.

In an instant, a dazzling light shot skyward, illuminating the entire interior of the Sword Array.

Amidst that light, Lin Tianming’s Sword Qi attacks were shattered one after another, eventually dissipating into thin air.

As for Jiang Haifeng’s attack, many were similarly blasted apart by Lin Tianming’s Sword Qi, turning into countless fragments falling to the ground.

However, Jiang Haifeng’s attack was more numerous and overall slightly stronger.

On Lin Tianming’s side, he had to simultaneously focus on controlling the Earth Fiend Sword Formation and hurriedly block Jiang Haifeng’s intentions, basically multitasking.

Moreover, Lin Tianming’s main focus was still on operating the Sword Formation, making it difficult to exert full force.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Haifeng’s attack held the upper hand.

Consequently, some attacks managed to bypass Lin Tianming’s defenses, hitting the Sword Formation Barrier at a particular point.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In that moment, an earth-shattering explosion resounded.

Simultaneously, within a dazzling light, a formidable shockwave formed.

At this moment, Lin Tianming witnessed everything firsthand.

In his sights, several Ice Swords struck the Sword Array Barricade, shaking the entire Barrier violently.

Immediately, Lin Tianming felt a force of recoil directly transmitted to his body.

Not only that, because his Divine Sense was controlling the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, he also felt a sharp pain at this moment.

This sensation was as if he were being cut by a thousand knives, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Jiang Haifeng’s attack was divided into multiple streams and executed hastily, so it wasn’t as strong as the first wave.

Furthermore, the majority of the attack was repelled by Lin Tianming, with only a small fraction posing a true threat.

As a result, Jiang Haifeng’s attacks came quickly and dissipated just as swiftly.

With the end of the assault, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, after some shaking, regained its stability on the brink of collapse.

Soon after, the piercing pain transmitted to Lin Tianming’s body and divine soul subsided.

Now, with the Earth Fiend Sword Formation operating normally, the disturbances between heaven and earth had also calmed down.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming let out a sigh of relief.

He would not let this rare opportunity slip by.

Thus, under his control, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation continued to shrink. In just three breaths, it had reduced by more than twenty zhang in distance.

In contrast, within the Sword Array, Jiang Haifeng’s expression was extremely unpleasant, stunned in place for quite a while.

In his heart, although he knew Lin Tianming’s strength was formidable, with a variety of powerful and mysterious means, making him a tough adversary for anyone to handle.

However, he didn’t expect the Sword Array activated by Lin Tianming to be so formidable.

Typically, tactics like the Sword Array that trap enemies require a lot of time and effort.

Especially right after being successfully deployed, the Sword Array, having just formed, was not in its optimal state.

This was the best opportunity for the trapped individual to break the Barrier.

Because of this, Jiang Haifeng was decisive, attacking with full force.

Yet, after the previous attack, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation withstood that round of assault.

Right now, the Sword Array was still functioning and continuing to shrink in scope.

This outcome indeed stunned Jiang Haifeng once again.

While he was in a daze, Lin Tianming seized the moment to reinforce the Sword Array’s strength, swiftly narrowing its range.

By the time Jiang Haifeng reacted, Lin Tianming had already made some progress, further solidifying the Sword Array’s stability.
