Although he was in a state of paralysis and couldn't perform basic attacks, Lin Jichen didn't rush to use his skills. Instead, he stood firm with his sword, showing no fear in the face of danger.
Tu Ganglie raised his hammer and charged again, knowing that Lin Jichen was currently unable to wield his sword. Seizing the opportunity, he swung his hammer fiercely!
However, Lin Jichen easily dodged. Unwilling to be outdone, Tu Ganglie continued his relentless assault, his hammer strikes becoming faster and more ferocious.
Lin Jichen silently counted the seconds of his paralysis, continuing to dodge without any intention of counterattacking with his skills.
With his superior speed, as long as the attacks weren't homing skills, he could easily evade them.
After a prolonged and fruitless assault, Tu Ganglie finally grew impatient. He roared in anger, his bulging muscles swelling even more, his skin glowing red, resembling a god descending to earth.
At this moment, Tu Ganglie's momentum seemed to peak. Holding his massive black hammer, he looked like a war god!

With a roar, he leaped high into the air, and his already enormous hammer expanded several times, as if he were holding a mountain!
Suspended in mid-air, Tu Ganglie wielded his hammer with ease, the giant black hammer moving as if it were an extension of his arm.
He swung the hammer at lightning speed, smashing it towards Lin Jichen.
At that moment, the entire second floor of the prison shook as if struck by countless meteors. The ground, made of profound crystal iron, shattered under the hammer's blows.
Others couldn't withstand such an attack. Su Wanling accidentally took a hit, losing a quarter of her health bar.
Frightened, she quickly fled out of the hammer's range.
Fortunately, the other women managed to dodge the attacks without harm, as Tu Ganglie's target was solely Lin Jichen.
All the hammer strikes were aimed at Lin Jichen!
The hammer not only maintained terrifying destructive power but also increased in speed by more than tenfold.
The interval between each strike was less than a second, yet each blow retained its full strength.
The rapid hammer strikes left almost no gaps, the sound of pounding echoing continuously.
In this barrage, Lin Jichen seemed like a lone boat in a tsunami, always on the verge of being overturned and destroyed.
Yet, Lin Jichen wasn't turned into a pulp.
On the contrary, he hadn't been hit even once.
In such an onslaught, speed alone wasn't enough; awareness and reflexes were crucial.
At this moment, Lin Jichen's awareness and reflexes were at their peak.
It felt like he was back on Sword Palace Mountain, dueling with Leng Feiyan. Under her tutelage, his combat awareness had surpassed his previous life's peak.
Of course, this wasn't about strength, just pure skill and awareness.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Lin Jichen moved like a nimble fox, dodging and weaving under Tu Ganglie's fierce attacks, dancing on the edge of a blade.
He always managed to evade the terrifying hammer strikes, no matter how much Tu Ganglie accelerated.
In just a few seconds, which felt like an eternity, Lin Jichen narrowly avoided the massive 'black mountain' countless times.
The mountain fell but always missed its mark.
After a few seconds, Tu Ganglie's black hammer returned to its original size, and his muscles shrank back, showing signs of fatigue.
Seeing this, Lin Jichen's stern lips finally curved slightly, a cold smile appearing on his face.
Lin Jichen seemed to have time for banter as he continued, "Now, it's my turn!"
At this moment, Lin Jichen's paralysis was about to end.
Lin Jichen stepped forward, quickly closing the distance to Tu Ganglie.
A frosty white Sword Qi slashed out instantly!
But Tu Ganglie blocked the Sword Qi with his massive black hammer.
This was an advantage for hammer-wielding players; their large hammers could block many attacks and even skills, serving as both offense and defense.
Although Frost Moon Slash was blocked, Lin Jichen didn't mind. Using the time Tu Ganglie spent blocking, he moved to the side.
Without hesitation, Lin Jichen swung his Qingming Sword!
A ghostly face flashed in the void, and the ghostly Sword Qi left a scorching, menacing gash on Tu Ganglie's chest.
[-6958! Bone Erosion triggered!]
[Bone Erosion: Consumes 20% of the opponent's mana and increases the mana cost of their next skill by 30%.]
Tu Ganglie felt a surge of pain, and a significant portion of his mana seemed to be drained.
Furious, he opened his mouth, releasing a burst of demonic energy.
Before Tu Ganglie could complete his skill, Lin Jichen swung the Qingming Sword again.
In an instant, numerous feather-like Sword Qi flew out. Although many missed Tu Ganglie, four or five struck him.
[-9651! Silence and Cripple effects triggered!]
[Silence: Interrupts the enemy's ongoing skill!]
[Cripple: Any part of the enemy becomes a weak point, ignoring armor for 15 seconds!]
The demonic energy in Tu Ganglie's mouth was abruptly cut off, leaving him stunned.
Interrupting an opponent's skill wasn't something any 'Silence' effect could do.
Other Silence skills merely prevented the opponent from using skills.
But Phoenix Feather's Silence could stop the opponent's casting.
The supreme Phoenix Feather had a 40% chance of triggering Silence, which successfully activated on Tu Ganglie.
For a player with great luck like Lin Jichen, a 40% chance was almost a certainty.
Seeing Tu Ganglie's skill interrupted, Lin Jichen's paralysis effect wore off.
Lin Jichen chuckled, and the Qingming Sword in his hand emitted a clear, resonant sound.
The originally greenish sword turned crimson.
Lin Jichen activated the Qingming Sword's first active skill.
[Heart Devour: Critical damage x300%, lasts 1 minute, cooldown 10 minutes.]
With the Falling Thunder Sword Technique, Lin Jichen's basic attacks dealt four times the damage to a crippled opponent.
But now, with Heart Devour activated, it was seven times the damage!
One sword strike equaled seven!
You think that's enough?
No, this time, Lin Jichen wanted to experience what true extreme output felt like!
"Returning to Origin Sword Art!"
Lin Jichen activated the Returning to Origin Sword Art's active effect!
[Returning to Origin active effect: 10% of the total damage dealt to a single enemy within a minute will overflow. If the enemy dies prematurely, the damage is nullified and cannot be transferred. Cooldown 10 minutes.]
At this moment, Lin Jichen's output was so high that even he couldn't believe it!
