Magical Water Margin: They all call me brother

Page 101

With a loud crash, the oars, unable to withstand Zhang Shun's monstrous strength, broke in two. The oar tips smashed onto Xu Ning's helmet, cracking and shattering along with it.

Zhang Shun possesses terrifying strength; a full-force strike can smash a person's head directly into their chest cavity. On water, neither Yang Zhi nor Suo Chao would be a match for her.

However, such a terrifying attack couldn't even leave a white mark on Xu Ning's phoenix-winged helmet, nor could it repel Xu Ning even a step.

With a cold snort, the golden spearman pulled the hook-and-sickle spear from Zhang Heng's abdomen, kicked the heavily injured Zhang Heng into the Ji River, and then launched a fierce attack on Zhang Shun! Zhang Shun found that Xu Ning's moves were extremely fierce, only attacking and not defending. His attacks were explosive and unparalleled, but his own blocking was a complete mess.

The problem was that Zhang Shun could easily hit Xu Ning, but he couldn't break through the defense of the goose feather chainmail at all. He couldn't even leave a white mark, let alone break through the defense! After realizing that she couldn't hurt Xu Ning at all, she completely lost her composure. How could she fight like this?

After only ten rounds of fighting, Xu Ning spotted an opening and suddenly extended the length of his hook-and-sickle spear from four meters to ten meters. Like lightning, he pierced Zhang Shun's abdomen with a single blow, creating a transparent hole in her body and severely injuring her once again!

"Wow--"

Suddenly, three merman figures, each carrying a strong aquatic stench, appeared almost simultaneously beside Xu Ning, rescuing the Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun sisters. They were none other than the three merman girls of the Ruan family—Xiao Er, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Qi.

Their slender and agile bodies were covered with fine snake scales, their wet braids were like wildly dancing sea serpents, and their eyes flashed with a cold, dark blue light, which had already trapped the golden Xu Ning in the core!

In an instant, eighteen long, beautiful, scale-covered arms began to dance wildly! In their hands gripped eighteen bizarrely shaped weapons—water-splitting spikes, reed spears, iron chain hooks, fishbone whips, cold iron forks, serrated knives, bronze hammers… all coated with snake venom. With a piercing whistling sound and a muffled roar of water, they transformed into eighteen swirling, meat-grinding vortexes that obscured the view! There was no method, no set pattern; only a hysterical, frenzied outpouring of power, born from the instinct to hunt in the deep sea!

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

In an instant, the clanging of metal against metal transformed into a frenzied storm of impacts. Eighteen kinds of weapons lashed out like a tempestuous tempest, smashing, slashing, stabbing, pulling, and hooking at Xu Ning's golden, flowing chainmail. Each collision exploded into a burst of blinding sparks, like a fireworks display in Kaifeng during the Lunar New Year. The heavy force caused the armor plates to hum incessantly, and the golden cloud patterns at the joints of the plates flickered in and out of focus amidst the violent vibrations. The poisoned blades futilely scraped and dragged across the smooth armor surface, leaving only faint, bright white marks that were instantly erased by the golden light, unable to penetrate Xu Ning's defenses in the slightest.

Trapped in the eye of the storm, Xu Ning ignored the three sisters' attack and was very confident in his defense. His face under his helmet was as cold and stern as an ice-covered reef. His sharp eyes pierced through the flying poison blades and sparks, like a hawk locking onto its prey, staring intently at Ruan Xiaoer, who was wielding a chain hook directly in front of him.

Xu Ning stepped forward, bracing himself against the cold iron fork slashing from the side and the fishbone whip lashing from behind. The gleaming hook-and-sickle spear in his hand, however, was like a golden lightning bolt breaking free from its restraints. Ignoring the terrified screams of Ruan Xiaoqi behind him and the shrill thrusts of Ruan Xiaowu from the side, he precisely and viciously struck the gap in the scales between Ruan Xiaoer's waist and abdomen.

"Pfft!"

The sharp blade pierced flesh, blood splattered, and Ruan Xiaoer screamed in agony as he staggered backward.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and they slashed at Xu Ning with even greater frenzy! But no matter how hard the sisters tried, they couldn't budge the solid, slippery golden scale barrier! Their attacks struck Xu Ning like a storm crashing against a thousand-year-old reef, producing only futile sparks and deafening roars, and in return, only an even fiercer, more deadly hook-and-sickle strike aimed directly at the sisters' vital points!

"What the hell is this?!"

Li Jun, the commander-in-chief of the navy, was the last to join the battle. He suddenly swung his fishing rod, and the fishing line rushed into the battlefield like a raging dragon, suddenly wrapping around Xu Ning and the hook piercing deep into the goose feather chainmail.

Li Jun suddenly pulled back the fishing line, relying on his demonic power that could catch anything, trying to peel the invulnerable chainmail armor from Xu Ning's body.

But the next second, Xu Ning gripped the fishing hook with one hand and began a tug-of-war with Li Jun. As long as the armor hadn't been hoisted away, the three Ruan's attacks would be like mosquitoes biting a boulder, futile and ineffective.

Then, she swung her hook-and-sickle spear with her other hand, causing it to grow to twenty meters long, and stabbed it fiercely into Li Jun's throat.

Li Jun was shocked and barely dodged the deadly assassination attempt. However, Xu Ning had a backup plan. She spun her hook-and-sickle spear, aiming the hook at the back of Li Jun's neck. With a swift pull, the sharp blade tore through his hair and slashed fiercely at the back of his neck, tearing his skin and causing blood to splatter. If Li Jun hadn't dodged in time, Xu Ning would have severed his head! Even so, she was severely injured by the attack, and her fishing line was cut by the hook, preventing her from continuing to fish.

Chapter 270: A Series of Poisonous Schemes and a Wise Man

Seeing that Zhan Xu Ning was not winning, the three Ruan sisters became somewhat anxious and frustrated.

The little golden man wielding the hook-and-sickle spear certainly possessed high combat skills, but not to the point of inspiring fear and trembling. The three Ruan sisters had also interacted with other masters of Liangshan and sparred in the arena. In their opinion, Xu Ning's spear skills were probably only at the level of Hua Rong and Yang Zhi.

The problem is that Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, and even Lin Chong all have weaknesses and will be injured if they are hit. Therefore, they will all block and dodge in battle.

But this Xu Ning is like he's cheating; he's invincible. No matter what weapons he uses, whether it's a whale crashing into him or even a druid's divine spell, he can't break through his physical armor or magic resistance, let alone deal any damage!

This incredibly high defensive stat made Xu Ning fearless. He wielded his molten gold hook-and-sickle spear with ferocious speed, focusing solely on offense and relentlessly attacking. He withstood the frenzied onslaught of Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, and with dozens of shots, he left Ruan Xiaoer covered in wounds!

At this moment, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun used druidic magic to heal their sisters' injuries. The eight naval commanders surrounded Xu Ning, swirling around her like a revolving lantern, fighting fiercely until the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light. But the result was the same: none of the eight could break through Xu Ning's defenses. Xu Ning ignored the other seven attacking her and focused her attacks on the Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun sisters, who possessed healing and recovery abilities, beating them mercilessly! She attempted to kill the two women, forcing them to drag their heavily injured bodies away from the battlefield!

What's even more troublesome is that Xu Ning has already held off the women for far too long. Ding Tao had already sent out a signal for help, and the navy behind him suddenly raised a red flag—a signal that enemy reinforcements were rapidly approaching and that Huyan Zhuo had arrived!

"The wind's getting strong! Let's get out of here!!!"

With no other option, the women had to give up on Dingtao. Overwhelmed by Xu Ning's impeccable defense, they left dejectedly and reported the incident to Liu Hong.

"Hmm? You mean the garrison commander of Dingtao wears a chainmail armor with goose feathers and wields a molten gold hook-and-sickle spear?"

Liu Hong was somewhat surprised. This characteristic and description—wasn't it Xu Ning, the Golden Gunner?

In the Water Margin, it was Xu Ning's hook-and-sickle spearmen who broke Huyan Zhuo's linked cavalry formation, giving Song Jiang the strength to completely defeat Huyan Zhuo in open battle.

However, now that Huyan Zhuo no longer has the linked horses, he is using even more terrifying armored cavalry. It is unknown whether Xu Ning's hook-and-sickle spear can still defeat him.

"Sir, you heard it too. I want to get Xu Ning to come up the mountain. Is there any way to do that?"

Liu Hong immediately asked Wu Yong, who was standing next to him.

"Simple."

Wu Yong pondered for a moment. Her intelligence was extraordinary, possessing the ability to remember everything she saw. She quickly searched her memory for all information related to Xu Ning, the Golden Spearman, and then immediately found a perfect solution based on this information.

“A few days ago, a sister named Tang Long, nicknamed Golden Leopard, came to the mountain. After drinking, she mentioned that her cousin was Xu Ning, the famous Golden Spear Master in the capital. She said that her brother could send her to Tokyo and tell her that Xu Ning had been defeated at the front and the court wanted to arrest people. Xu Ning then sent her to secretly bring his family out through the underground Ghost Fanlou to save their lives and then send them directly to Liangshan.”

"However, brother, you must not threaten Xu Ning with family members, that would backfire."

"While Tang Long is picking up people, brother can take sister Shi Qian to Dingtao in person. In the Second World War, Shi Qian is a level 9 thief. She is very poor in direct combat, but she is very good at ambushes. The Demon Messenger is also related to theft and can even steal the demon power of the enemy. This can solve the problem of Xu Ning being invulnerable to swords and spears and impervious to water and fire."

With her cooperation, plus the eight naval troops, they'll definitely take down Xu Ning and burn down the Dingtao Shipyard in the process.

"When the time comes, Xu Ning will find that she and her family have been captured and taken to Liangshan. Brother, all you need to do is reason with her and appeal to her emotions to capture her. Wouldn't that be a piece of cake?!"

"Excellent! Sir, what a brilliant plan."

Liu Hong nodded and went to make arrangements according to Wu Yong's plan, sending Tang Long, the Golden Leopard, and Yang Zhi, the Blue-Faced Beast, back to Tokyo to trick Xu Ning's family into coming up the mountain.

Subsequently, he led the trio of Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, and Shi Qian, in coordination with the navy, to fight in Dingtao during the Second Battle!

Seeing the Liangshan troops attack again, Xu Ning donned his goose-feather chainmail for the second time, wielding a molten gold hook-and-sickle spear, and bravely went out to defend the port, which resembled the mouth of a gourd, blocking the Liangshan ships and keeping them out.

Liu Hong had never seen Xu Ning fight before, only heard about it, and did not know the details. Just in case, he sent Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu out first. Yang Xiong wielded a fifty-pound Green Dragon Crescent Blade, a replica forged by Guan Yu, and charged into the formation, engaging Xu Ning in a fierce battle!

"Xu Ning! Your Grandma Yang Xiong is here!"

With a roar, the ailing Guan Suo bristled, her hair and beard bristling, her eyes bloodshot. She wielded the massive bronze crescent blade like a howling dragon, its heavy blade tearing through the air with a piercing, mournful whistle! Layers upon layers of powerful blade shadows, sometimes slashing like bolts of lightning, sometimes sweeping like raging pythons, carried the brute force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, raining down upon Xu Ning like a torrential downpour!

However, in the center of that devastating net of blades, powerful enough to cleave even the finest steel, Xu Ning, the Golden Spearman, remained unmoved. His golden-scaled chainmail shimmered dazzlingly in the dim light, and each collision with the giant blade unleashed a deafening, thunderous clang. Sparks, like the most intense fireworks of a festival, sprayed and exploded wildly around the two men, illuminating their two equally murderous faces.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"

Yang Xiong's every strike was enough to cleave gold and split stone. The terrifying weight of the fifty-pound broadsword made the onlookers on both sides tremble with fear! The blade first slammed into Xu Ning's shoulder, then swiftly slashed at his waist and ribs, sparks flying and clanging loudly. It also fiercely swept across Xu Ning's chest and back covered in golden armor countless times. Each collision made the ground tremble, and each time it tried to find a weak gap in the indestructible armor.

But no matter how the blades roared and struck, no matter how the sparks burned and danced, the armor on Xu Ning's body did not even show a single crack! Like a reef that has stood for thousands of years, it bravely withstood the tearing of the raging waves, remaining unharmed.

Even though Yang Xiong wielded his fifty-pound Guan Dao with such ferocity that sand and stones flew, the sky darkened, and leaves fell from the trees on the shore, all his relentless attacks were ultimately futile against Xu Ning's golden armor. It was like an ant trying to shake a tree—absurd and laughable. Yang Xiong's pupils trembled, and he lost all confidence—what the hell is this thing? Is it really that hard?!

Xu Ning sneered and stood there letting Yang Xiong fight him for three rounds, showing Yang Xiong how ridiculous his attacks were. Only after the impenetrable goose feather chainmail shattered Yang Xiong's Dao heart and demoralized him did Xu Ning begin to make his move.

"Om-"

The golden hook-and-sickle spear hummed and trembled, like a dragon emerging from its cave or a raging python churning the sea. Yang Xiong, having already become fearful after realizing he couldn't break through Xu Ning's defense, was now even more terrified by Xu Ning's fierce attack. He defended with all his might but was forced to retreat step by step, only able to parry and having no power to fight back.

Chapter 271: Shi Qian Steals the Armor in the Killing Field

"Is her defense really that exaggerated?"

Shi Xiu knew Yang Xiong's skills. Those few slashes would have killed even a rhinoceros. But Xu Ning was not only not injured, she was hit by the fifty-pound Guan Dao several times without losing her balance or retreating. This was too exaggerated.

Yang Xiong's ability was countered by Xu Ning. Yang Xiong's demonic ability was to kill; as long as damage was inflicted, there was a certain probability that the strike would kill the enemy. The more severely injured the target, the higher the probability. It was a terrifying executioner's luck ability.

The problem is, let alone killing him, Yang Xiong couldn't even make Xu Ning bleed, and his demonic abilities couldn't be activated.

"Don't worry, sister! I'm here to help you!!!"

Left with no other choice, Shi Xiu also brandished a broadsword and joined the battle, resorting to a desperate fighting style! Her Demon Messenger ability was a double-edged sword, capable of inflicting 1000 damage on the enemy while also inflicting 800 on herself. Each attack would cost her 1 point of health, allowing her next attack to deal an additional 1 to 12 points of physical damage.

If each attack consumes 100 health points, the next attack can deal an additional 100 to 1200 damage. Both sisters' abilities are extremely risky and involve gambling on luck.

With a roar, Shi Xiu's body erupted in blood, gushing from every pore, like thousands of blood snakes dancing wildly in the air! In an instant, the broadsword in Shi Xiu's hand, stained with the blood of his enemies and himself, emitted a strange and piercing hum! All the gushing blood, like rivers flowing into the sea, instantly enveloped the originally gleaming blade.

The blood not only covered the blade, but also boiled, roared, and condensed violently. The entire broadsword expanded dozens of times in an instant, transforming into a blood-soaked, raging blade that blotted out the sky!

Shi Xiu had put all his strength into this attack, saving only a little blood for himself, and putting the rest into this one strike. Due to massive blood loss, he had become emaciated, his skin as pale as paper, but the raised blood blade released a terrifying pressure that made one's soul tremble. The entire sky was distorted by the boiling blood-red blade, emitting a sizzling sound.

Without any moves or techniques, only pure desperate struggle and numbers, Shi Xiu squeezed out the last bit of strength and slashed down wildly and unparalleledly at Xu Ning's golden body, sacrificing his life as a sacrifice and carrying boundless hatred! In that instant, the blade no longer produced a blade light, but a boiling, rolling, blood-red wave more than ten feet wide.

The waves roared, whipping up shrill screams like the wails of vengeful ghosts. Wherever the scarlet, viscous waves passed, even the air crackled and corroded, and the damp mud instantly turned black and cracked! The power contained in that blood wave was no longer purely physical destruction, but also carried the frenzied roar of Shi Xiu burning away his life!

For the first time, Xu Ning's icy eyes showed horror. She ignored Yang Xiong and instead turned her golden spear to fight Shi Xiu. The hook-and-sickle spear danced in the air with thirty-six spear flowers, but the scarlet blood wave containing the last essence of Shi Xiu's life and soul, which was enough to corrode and incinerate steel, had already slammed down!

One cut!!!

The pungent, bloody steam mixed with scorching golden flames engulfed the two like an explosive cloud, instantly blasting away and melting the reeds and pebbles on the shore! Xu Ning, who had withstood numerous attacks without flinching, was finally shaken by Shi Xiu's desperate strike! A huge crack was cleaved in his right shoulder armor by the raging waves of blood, and Xu Ning was forced back three steps, staggering and swaying.

"pretty!!!"

Yang Xiong's eyes gleamed. She had just been beaten so badly by Xu Ning that she was questioning her existence. Was this guy even human? No matter how she attacked, she couldn't break through his defenses.

It seems that the damage was just not high enough. As long as the damage is high enough, there is still a chance! She picked up the fifty-pound crescent blade and launched another storm of attacks. Each attack was aimed at the crack on Xu Ning's right shoulder, and sparks flew and metal clanged.

Meanwhile, the Zhang sisters, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, immediately used their druidic healing magic to pull Shi Xiu, who had lost too much blood and was pale, back from the brink of death. The other brothers swarmed forward and ganged up on Xu Ning once again! Ten sisters, sixteen arms, and thirty-two kinds of weapons surrounded Xu Ning and fought fiercely!

However, apart from Shi Xiu's earth-shattering attack, which almost killed him, no one could break through Xu Ning's defense. Moreover, the shattered chainmail even spontaneously repaired its wounds.

Xu Ning once again demonstrated the essence of group battles—focus on one target and keep attacking! Ignore the rest; you can't break my defense anyway, so come on, let you fight!

"What a Xu Ning! Where did he find such a devil? He's really something."

Liu Hong understood that Xu Ning, besides her superb hook-and-sickle spear technique, also knew Lin Chong's Lin family spear technique and the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix technique. She had learned a wide variety of skills. If we only talk about spear techniques and not attributes, her skills were even no less than those of Lin Chong and Yang Zhi.

Her attributes are also very strong, no weaker than Yang Zhi or Suo Chao. She's only slightly weaker than stat monsters like Lin Chong and Lu Zhisheng.

Xu Ning's greatest strength isn't even in terms of stats or skills, but in his equipment! The protective capabilities of this armor are ridiculously high. Ordinary armor usually has a damage reduction attribute, such as 30 points of damage reduction, which means that any attack hitting this armor will have 30 points less power.

This thing provides a direct 95% special protection! This attribute is extremely rare and uncommon. Whether it's physical or magical damage, 95% of the damage will be negated when it hits!

Moreover, it also has the normal damage reduction of 30% of the armor. With the remaining 5% damage, it's questionable whether it can even pass the 30% damage threshold. It would be a miracle if it could even touch this extremely sturdy adamantite armor. Only Shi Xiu's desperate attack barely exceeded 600 damage. Even after being reduced by 95%, it could still break through the armor and create cracks, but the armor's self-repair function repaired them!

[Demon Messenger - War Forge]: Forges 3 pieces of top-tier equipment for you. (Based on 1/4 of your character's level)

(Molten Gold Hook Scythe Spear): +5 Magic Weapon, freely adjustable in length and size. Proficient in Disarm and Trip Throw. When using Trip Throw against four-legged creatures, ignores the opponent's lower body stability and grants an additional +12 Trip Throw bonus (based on character level).

(Wild Goose Feather Chainmail): +5 Magic Armor, 13 Armor Points, 95% Special Protection, 30% Damage Reduction, Automatic Repair.

(?): ? ? ?

"How long will it take you to take her precious armor?"

Liu Hong asked Shi Qian, the flea on the drum, who was standing to the side.

"Just six seconds, brother! I've already figured out her abilities! Let's steal it, it'll be quick!"

Shi Qian said with great confidence.

"Okay, I'll buy you six seconds!"

Liu Hong took a deep breath, held the Panlong Staff, and personally stepped out of the command formation to fight Xu Ning. This kid is hiding a treasure, so we have to be careful.

Chapter 272: Liu Hongmang's Victory at Hulukou (Supplementary Chapter)

In the center of the battlefield, Xu Ning, relying on his goose-feather chainmail, withstood the fierce attacks of the three Ruan sisters with all eighteen kinds of weapons. With lingering fear, he wielded his hook-and-sickle spear to block Shi Xiu's blood-soaked blade that was about to consume him once again. Before the pungent blood mist and the rising heat had dissipated, an unprecedented tremor from the depths of his instincts suddenly seized his heart. He subconsciously looked up and found that the sky had darkened.

No, it wasn't nightfall, but rather the heavens themselves, brazenly obscured by some ancient and rare ferocious creature. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, clad in Shadow Scale Dragon Armor, soared into the air amidst a storm and thunder. His gilded fire wings, previously concealed on his back, suddenly unfurled like two golden, towering clouds, even obscuring the sky and the sun. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's shadow was cast upon the battlefield, plunging the entire Calabash Mouth into a suffocating darkness.

"Get out of here! Everyone retreat immediately! Get as far away from Xu Ning as possible!"

Li Jun, who knew Liu Hong best, immediately ordered everyone to retreat and stop attacking Xu Ning. If they were caught in the Heavenly Gang Slash, it would be no joke. His brother's Heavenly Gang Slash was now almost as effective as Thunderbolt Fire. Being affected by that thing was no laughing matter.

Knowing how formidable their brother was when he charged into battle, the three Nguyen sisters jumped into the sea on the waves to escape the danger.

Seeing that all his sisters had left, Liu Hong suddenly retracted his wings, descending from the sky like a golden meteor. The shrill sound of his wings tearing through the sky was terrifying. The mysterious trajectory of the Coiling Dragon Staff shattered the sky, secretly matching the ferocious moves of the Flying Dragon in the Sky Staff Technique. The chivalrous spiritual energy that burst out from the staff tip transformed into seven meteorites that flowed with evil green molten lava and burned with golden holy fire, which slammed hard into Xu Ning!

In an instant, the dark sky that had just been covered by the wings of the Golden-Winged Roc seemed to have seven more blazing suns. Around the seven meteorites, there were also fifteen companion stars of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. It was like a magnificent and cruel meteor shower, or like a collapse of the sky and earth where the Milky Way fell. It was as if all the stars in the sky were falling towards Xu Ning's location!

boom! boom! boom! ! !

The first Buddha's hellfire meteorite slammed into Xu Ning's breastplate. The terrifying holy fire and corrosive poisonous flames were enough to melt steel and corrode gold, but only a towering cloud of gold and green poisonous clouds rose from the surface of the golden armor. The armor hit by the meteorite remained intact.

However, the shockwave from the explosion shattered the ground beneath Xu Ning's feet with unparalleled ferocity, creating a massive crater more than five meters deep beneath her. Excess soil and rocks were flung dozens of meters into the sky by the shockwave from the Heavenly Gang Slash, resembling a yellowish-brown tsunami wave.

Then the second, the third, and the fourth!

The golden and black intertwined Holy Flame Star Core fell, with golden flames burning souls and green fire devouring everything in a double rage! Companion stars also fell from the sky with earth-shattering force, causing the golden armor to hum and flash with light. The countless stars bombarded every single armor plate around Xu Ning like a storm!

The generals watched in awe as the Great Sage Hun Tian unleashed his full power. At that moment, the narrow gourd-shaped land was shattered by the explosion of the falling stars. The wooden tower standing to the side was first sheared away by the explosive impact of the falling stars, then shattered, and then the entire wooden tower was reduced to ashes in the violent energy bombardment. The Ji River next to it was also stirred up by the shock wave, creating giant waves four or five meters high!

When the smoke cleared, the generals discovered that the place where Xu Ning stood was no longer land, but a scorched crater tens of meters wide, a crater created by Qin Ming's impact, filled with molten lava that burned and corroded everything.

The charred crater created by Liu Hong was about the same size as Qin Ming's, except that instead of molten lava, it contained some kind of silvery-white substance that shimmered with starlight, like a massive wave of subspace stars materialized from psionic energy, churning and raging within the crater.

However, even after withstanding the combined power of the seven main stars, the fifteen companion stars, Liu Hong's own dive attack, and the ultimate power of the Flying Dragon in the Sky Staff Technique, Xu Rong's Goose Feather Chainmail remained unbroken! Unpierced! Untorn!

Liu Hong was not surprised by the result. Although his Heavenly Gang Slash had high damage, strong burst, and wide range, the Meteor Shower was a segmented attack, not a concentrated burst. It was indeed difficult to deal with Xu Ning's Goose Feather Chainmail with 95% special protection.
