Chapter 1196: If You Defend for Too Long, You Will Lose

In fact, in Chen Ping's opinion, this defect should not be considered a fatal defect. It's just that this formation is missing a part, so that the power cannot be maximized.

According to Chen Ping's idea, this formation should have been formed by 4 ancient martial arts practitioners at the peak level of the fifth earth level, leading several other ancient martial arts practitioners at the level of the earth level.

The entire formation should have as many as 10 people.

Among them, three ancient martial arts practitioners at the peak level of the fifth earth level were divided into three groups, leading another 6 ancient martial arts practitioners at the level of the earth level, forming an important part of the formation, and the last one with the strongest power, the peak level of the fifth earth level, is the core of the entire formation.

Once the formation is formed, the strength of the other 9 people can be superimposed on the ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak level of the fifth earth level, who is the core of the formation.

In this way, the ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak level of the fifth earth level, who is the core of the formation, can completely have the strength comparable to that of a true ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak level of the second level of the acquired heaven.

You know, a peak level 2 post-natal ancient martial arts master can completely eliminate 10 earth-level ancient martial arts masters in a very short time.

This means that after the formation is formed, the comprehensive combat power of the 10 people is directly increased by more than one level.

In this case, the effect of this formation is indeed magical, and even Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he didn't directly see the peak state of this formation, he also saw the power that this formation can still burst out after being incomplete.

After the lack of a peak level 4 earth-level ancient martial arts master, this formation can still exert part of its power when combined by the remaining 9 people.

Although there is no way to condense all the strength of these 9 people into one person, no matter what, after the combination of the formation, these 9 people are divided into three groups, and they also directly create three ancient martial arts masters with strengths infinitely close to the post-natal level.

Although it sounds like there is not much difference between this and the peak level of the 5th level of the Earth Level, just like Chen Ping's current situation, even in the peak level of the 5th level of the Earth Level, there is still a big gap in strength.

Compared with the ancient martial arts masters who have just entered this level, there is still a huge gap in combat power between the ancient martial arts masters who have reached the best state of the current level, or even infinitely close to the first level of the acquired level.

It is precisely because of this that if these three people join forces, they can completely threaten the life of any ancient martial arts master at the first level of the acquired level.

Such a change immediately made Chen Ping's eyes light up slightly.

However, at this moment, he was in a fierce battle state. Although he could clearly feel the changes in the breath of these people, no matter what, at this moment, he did not have the energy to carefully observe this formation.

The most important thing is that Chen Ping has now been suppressed by the two post-natal level ancient martial arts practitioners on the opposite side. Although Chen Ping did not show any signs of defeat during this suppression process, once these three people joined forces, it would be equivalent to adding another post-natal level ancient martial arts practitioner master to the entire battle process.

In this way, the pressure on Chen Ping will naturally become greater and greater.

But Chen Ping was not surprised but happy. Not only did he not look panicked, but his eyes flashed with a cold smile.

However, Chen Ping's changes were not noticed by the people in front of him.

In this not-so-spacious corridor, originally only Chen Ping and the other three were fighting for life and death, and the next moment, the other three ancient martial arts practitioners who had already improved their strength and were at the peak level of the fifth level of the earth level, also looked at each other, and then surrounded Chen Ping and killed him at the same time.

At this moment, they knew very well that after Chen Ping killed a master of ancient martial arts at the peak level of the fourth level of the earth level in advance, the entire formation had been damaged to a certain extent. Although the formation could still be condensed, its power could not be exerted to the maximum extent.

In this way, the three of them could only participate in the battle in person.

However, after the three of them joined the battle, the situation shown by Chen Ping became precarious.

It must be said that although the combat power shown by the three of them did not directly reach the level of the acquired level, no matter what, they are now infinitely close to the level of the first level of the acquired level.

With the addition of the three of them, Chen Ping's situation has completely fallen into a disadvantage, and it seems that there is no hope of a comeback.

Unless Chen Ping can break through on the spot, otherwise, it is impossible to escape from here.

The original battle situation of 30-70 has become a one-sided crushing after the three of them joined the battle.

Chen Ping could only defend himself and had no power to fight back. In a short period of time, Chen Ping could barely resist the joint attack of these five people, but over time, Chen Ping would simply not be able to withstand such pressure.

After all, if you walk along the river frequently, you will get your shoes wet. Long-term defense will inevitably lead to omissions. Such omissions may only cause certain injuries in normal combat conditions. But now, Chen Ping is besieged by five people. Once he is injured, the situation is likely to take a sharp turn for the worse.

However, Chen Ping at this moment is still steady and not at all anxious.

Not only Chen Ping, but also the five people on the opposite side have no intention of killing Chen Ping on the spot. They just want to put more pressure on Chen Ping to prevent Chen Ping from breaking through in battle.

However, they don’t know that their behavior not only did not eliminate the possibility of Chen Ping’s breakthrough in battle, but increased this possibility again.

The reason is actually very simple, just because Chen Ping is under increasing pressure.

After all, the earth vein spirit liquid in Chen Ping’s body can exert its due medicinal power because of the pressure of battle. The greater the pressure of battle, the faster the medicinal power will naturally be exerted.

Originally, Chen Ping needed eight or nine minutes to completely break through his strength to the level of the third level of the acquired realm. But now, after the pressure suddenly increased, the speed of Chen Ping's breath accumulation in his body was getting faster and faster.

In just one minute, the breath accumulation in Chen Ping's body was as high as about 20%.

Feeling the rapid increase in the accumulation of spiritual energy in his body, Chen Ping did not mean to be anxious at all, and even did not show any joy on the surface, but still defended the offensive of the people in front of him steadily.

However, Chen Ping was also very clear that if the opponent noticed the change in Chen Ping's breath and the change in combat power, he would definitely change his strategy quickly. Therefore, although Chen Ping's own strength has improved, it has not been directly expressed. Instead, the breath exerted by suppressing his own strength has not continued to grow.

After noticing this, the offensive of the five people on the opposite side became more and more fierce, and the pressure on Chen Ping naturally became greater and greater.

In this way, the accumulation speed in Chen Ping's body is also getting faster and faster like lightning.

However, during this process, Chen Ping constantly suppressed his own increasing combat power, and in this way, he would lose if he defended for a long time. If Chen Ping could fully exert his combat power, he could at least win a certain initiative. Although such initiative would still put Chen Ping at a disadvantage, he could not be completely in a defensive state anyway.

But now, Chen Ping could only let the opponent continue to attack him, but he could not mobilize all his strength at will.

In this case, Chen Ping's defense inevitably had some flaws.

After a few minutes of fighting, Chen Ping gradually accumulated some injuries, but such injuries were almost all minor injuries, and there was no loss of Chen Ping's combat power at all.

However, when Chen Ping's breath accumulation had reached more than 90%, his defense finally had some loopholes.

After blocking an attack from the peak level 3rd level ancient martial arts practitioner, the two peak level 5th level ancient martial arts practitioners next to him almost simultaneously punched Chen Ping's ribs on both sides.

The attacks of these two people were just right. Even Chen Ping had no way to defend against the simultaneous attacks of these two people at this moment. He could only choose one of them and barely blocked the opponent's attack with his other arm.

However, the other person on the other side punched Chen Ping's ribs.

This punch directly made Chen Ping frown slightly, but his face did not change at all.

The reason why he frowned was not because of the pain brought by this punch, but because he knew very well that although the opponent's strength was not as good as his, the combat power that the opponent could exert was infinitely close to the level of the acquired level.

The opponent's attack could also bring a huge threat to Chen Ping.

Under such a full-strength attack, Chen Ping's left ribs were broken in an instant, and even Chen Ping's body had inevitably shifted its center of gravity. After stumbling a few steps, Chen Ping barely blocked the attack of another ancient martial arts practitioner at the peak level of the fifth level of the Earth Level, and then stabilized his body.

However, a trace of blood had seeped out of the corner of his mouth.

After seeing this scene, the five people on the opposite side suddenly showed a hint of joy in their eyes.

Although the attack just now did not seem to cause too much injury to Chen Ping, nor did it cause Chen Ping to fall into a life-threatening situation instantly, in fact, this attack directly slowed down Chen Ping's body movement speed, and the original strong combat power could only be exerted to about 80%.

Although the combat power was only reduced by 20%, no matter what, the reduction in combat power would inevitably make Chen Ping's situation more difficult. _
