Chapter 1281: Bat Dragon Swimming Away
Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
The moment they finished talking, the battle started.
All spectators that had already seated down around the battle platform began concentrating. Even the proud Imperial Wind Lei and other experts like God Monarch Jian Yin were focusing on the battle because Bat Mountain Master had a strength comparable to them.
“Hu!”
A terrifying frost descended without sign, engulfing around Xue Ying and condensing into an ice mountain 33 meters tall!
“He was struck by the technique just like that?”
“He did not even succeed in breaking out of the technique?”
Both Imperial Wind Lei and Imperial Wind Jin were startled. Imperial Wind Qing Yin became nervous. Who in High Mountain City did not know that ‘Bat Mountain Master’ was a master of ice? His techniques were executed without any signs. With a thought, he could easily freeze a tall mountain 500 kilometers before shattering it into pieces! In the Divine Realm, any grit of soil or stone was extraordinary. A mountain spanning across 500 kilometers… was something even Cosmos Gods had to spend a long time to destroy. Yet Bat Mountain Master could do so with a thought, showing how powerful he was.
And now, Xue Ying had been fully frozen into a tall ice mountain 33 meters tall. This was also the limit to what Bat Mountain Master could suppress his technique to!
“Just this slight power?” A voice sounded. One could see that frozen figure strangely walking out. The ice mountain remained perfectly undamaged.
Xue Ying walked out and smiled at Bat Mountain Master: “Bat Mountain Master, there’s no point using such futile techniques. Let me witness your Bat Dragon.”
His current control of the void in this world had reached a point where he could void-ify his body completely easily.
Completely void-ifying his body––turning his body into one entity with the void!
How could the ice mountain trap the void?
Even though that frost energy have an incredibly strong corrosive power, after being weakened by void-ification, Xue Ying’s Chaotic Origin Refined Body easily withstood it.
“Do you think it is that easy to witness my Bat Dragon?” Bat Mountain Master sneered.
“Peng!”
The ice mountain exploded.
One could see 300 ice shuttles condensing in the void. Every ice shuttle contained concentric circles of black mark. If one carefully examined them, those black marks were actually formed from countless inscriptions. At the same time that these ice shuttles form, they shot out at Xue Ying.
And Xue Ying immediately flew out in an arc.
“Shua!”
His flying motion was rapid. Even though those ice shuttles moved at a fast pace, the ‘arcs’ that Xue Ying traveled along were too ‘fine’. He easily evaded those ice shuttles.
“He is indeed an Ascendant. The way he utilizes his techniques is simply too profound. Even though Bat Mountain Master might seem stronger, he could not touch God Monarch Flying Snow at all.” Many spectators gasped in surprise. Just the way Xue Ying executed his movement techniques sufficed in making them exclaim in admiration.
“Mn?”
Bat Mountain Master stood afar. Watching the other party easily fly along a slender arc evading all ice shuttles he fired at him, furthermore, the other party was also inching closer to where he stood. This caused Bat Mountain Master to pale, ‘It seems this Hundred Slaughter Extermination Array is ineffective.’ This was also his best group attack technique. Every ice shuttle was incredibly strong, and with 300 shuttles sweeping across the place, a huge group of enemies would fall before them.
Even though this technique specialized in dealing against a crowd, it showed miraculous effects when dealing against a lone enemy too. Nonetheless, God Monarch Flying Snow’s movement technique was too formidable. He easily evaded all those shuttles.
“Hong.”
That arc soon condensed out into a human figure.
Xue Ying pierced his spear on an ice shuttle right in front of him. The spearhead clashed against the shuttle, forming a void bubble that caused this shuttle to decompose. It soon turned into a ‘black point’. And with a pierce, it easily caused the shuttle to explode!
‘Every ice shuttle contains the strength of an early stage God Monarch.’ Xue Ying made his judgment, ‘With 300 of them working together? Even though every shuttle is moving too directly, with sufficient quantity, this weakness can be covered. I wonder how strong is his Bat Dragon, a technique that he is famous for.’
After deliberately testing out the strength of this ice shuttle.
Xue Ying’s figure flashed. He charged right at Bat Mountain Master. Xue Ying’s spear struck out like an illusion.
“Hou~”
That triangular head of Bat Mountain Master remained as ugly as ever. He stared at the incoming spear and abruptly roared out.
At the same point as he roared, his triangular head started warping. Many black scales began sprouting out and turning into a triangular black scaly head. His body soon manifested into a long slender body that had a pair of sharp claws.
This was a beast spanning across 330 meters. It was covered entirely in black scales, and was a flying beast called––’Bat Dragon’!
At the same time the Bat Dragon roared, it charged out at Xue Ying.
“Hong!”
The spearhead clashed with one of the Bat Dragon’s claws.
An enormous void bubble appeared, enveloping around the entire Bat Dragon. This bubble attempted to shrink! But the black scales covering the Bat Dragon contained the revolution of countless inscriptions that simply formed a layer of frost armor. “Peng.” Even with the furious pierce by Xue Ying, and the explosion of the collapsing void bubble, only some parts of the frost armor covering the Bat Dragon shattered. The scales on the Bat Dragon remained perfectly undamaged.
“Ascendant, are you tickling me as a middle stage God Monarch?” This Bat Dragon roared. Its tail formed a shadow image as it lashed out at Xue Ying.
…
Xue Ying’s control of his strength was perfect. Whenever he executed his technique like the void bubble, it did not spread out to its surroundings! Like previously when Xue Ying dealt with those three God Monarchs that assassinated him, he did not even produce any shockwaves that might cause his residence walls to collapse!
Even though Bat Mountain Master had an alright control of his strength, at this moment after turning into a ‘Bat Dragon’, just a slight bit of his power had caused the ground to shake. The entire battle platform was constantly vibrating.
“Hong hong hong~”
Both parties continued battling, forming sounds of ringing along the way.
This was a battle platform meant for sparring. Hence, it had arrays covering it and isolating any shockwaves from the battle.
“What a terrifying shockwave.”
The spectators paled as they watched.
That Bat Dragon of 330 meters long swam within the battle platform chasing after God Monarch Flying Snow furiously. Every single strike by the Bat Dragon brought with it a terrifying strength. And it appeared that God Monarch Flying Snow could not injure this ‘Bat Dragon’ at all.
“This Bat Dragon Body that Bat Mountain Master cultivated is amazing.” Imperial Wind Lei praised, “God Monarch Flying Snow’s control of his strength is incredibly exquisite too. Even though he is merely able to unleash the strength of a middle stage God Monarch and is on the disadvantaged end, he hasn’t suffered from any injuries.”
“So what if he remains perfectly fine? He can’t even injure Bat Mountain Master.” The younger brother Imperial Wind Jin shook his head.
“Bat Mountain Master is ultimately one of the few experts within High Mountain City.” Imperial Wind Lei retorted, “God Monarch Flying Snow is amazing enough to achieve this outcome in the battle. If he could attain the strength of a peak God Monarch, the one who would suffer is definitely Bat Mountain Master! Mn?”
“This is––”
The spectators were aghast at this moment.
Because God Monarch Flying Snow who had always been pursued after by the Bat Dragon, had suddenly raised his spear with both his hands before hacking down on the other party!
“Si la~”
After this furious hack, the trajectory traveled by the spear tore out a spatial crack that lashed out on the body of the Bat Dragon. The frost armor covering that body immediately exploded. Even his black scales were torn. In the end, a vicious-looking wound was formed with large amounts of fresh blood spurting out.
“What?” The spectators were shocked. Bat Mountain Master was even more frightening, ‘He could injure me?’
Bat Mountain Master was too careful. He was too afraid of death.
At the next moment, he immediately altered his combat strategy. Now, he began swimming away at an extremely fast speed. He had currently placed survival as the primary objective with the occasional slash of his claws or sneak attack with his tail!
‘It is quite rare to meet someone so afraid of death.’ Xue Ying sneered.
The technique he just executed was the strongest killing move he had after grasping the .
After all, with a scripture he could refer to, his rate of learning had greatly improved. He could understand the laws and profound mysteries of the Dao of Void in this world at a faster speed. Given his foundation, his rate of deduction was quick too. Xue Ying had even condensed the fifth layer of the ‘Void Sword Origin Energy’ easily. By relying on this newfound comprehension and his own accumulations, he created this new ‘Sky-Rending Void Technique’.
This technique was barely at the peak stage God Monarch strength! Though Xue Ying’s control of strength was exquisite, allowing him to injure even the ‘Bat Dragon Body’ of Bat Mountain Master.
“Hong hong hong~”
Both parties continued fighting for dozen more exchanges.
Bat Mountain Master was unable to injure Xue Ying previously. Now that he was on alert, it was even harder for him to injure Xue Ying at all! And this new technique of Xue Ying, the ‘Sky-Rending Void Technique’ had struck Bat Mountain Master once every three to five rounds! And every single strike caused pieces of flesh from Bat Mountain Master to fly.
“Stop stop stop! That meandering ‘Bat Dragon’ shouted out as it flew in the sky.
Xue Ying stopped with astonishment.
At the next moment, the Bat Dragon immediately transforming and shrinking. It eventually turned into that triangular-headed ugly old man, ‘Bat Mountain Master’.
Bat Mountain Master was filled with a smile. He sighed in admiration: “God Monarch Flying Snow is truly amazing. I admit defeat. You have won this spear. God Monarch Flying Snow is indeed stronger by than me by an entire level!”
Xue Ying was startled momentarily.
The other party truly did not care about losing his face.
“Good. God Monarch Flying Snow and Bat Mountain Master are really formidable experts. Today, not only did I get to witness Bat Mountain Master’s ‘Bat Dragon’, I get the honor of witnessing God Monarch Flying Snow’s spear technique as well.” Imperial Wind Lei stood up and exclaimed with a smile.
“Crown Prince, it is God Monarch Flying Snow’s spear technique that is amazing. I doubt I could survive after a few bouts of his techniques.” Bat Mountain Master’s hoarse voice could be heard accompanied with a giddy laughter.
And at this moment, standing by the side of her two senior brothers, Imperial Wind Qing Yin was looking at Xue Ying with shock.
