Chapter 955: When Clashing Face to Face With An Enemy, A Victor Shall Emerge!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Yi wanted to pursue Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu while Ji Tingyu and Wu Ni wanted to evade the pursuit.
This was a battle of pursuit, and both sides were in a contest. Just as Ji Tingyu said, it would be a great victory if they managed to escape successfully.
Jiang Yi had risked a lot this time and had plotted for a very long time. Once the battle started, he had exposed his identity and would alert the opposition. If he couldn’t capture the two of them this time, he would never have the chance in the future again.
Because of his exposed identity and Su Ruoxue being in Ji Tingyu’s hands, not only would Jiang Yi be hunted by the Nine Thearchs Clans, but Su Ruoxue might also be implicated because of this. If Ji Tingyu was to hang Su Ruoxue outside the North Thearch City, would Jiang Yi go rescue her?
Thus, Jiang Yi had decided that he must not let Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu escape back to the North Thearch City. Otherwise, he and Su Ruoxue would be consigned to eternal damnation.
Ru Lao was very powerful and should be the strongest among Wu Ni’s men. If not, he would constantly stay beside Wu Ni and guarding him. For such a person to not be hunting Jiang Yi and was escaping by himself, it would be weird for there not be a problem. Jiang Yi didn’t have any confidence in dealing with him, but he didn’t have any second thoughts. He immediately executed the Heaven Evasion and traveled 10,000 miles in the east.
“Scout!”
With a scan with his divine senses, he noticed an inferior bandit legion that was fleeing, but he didn’t bother. He released his Divine Perception to look for Ru Liao and quickly found Ru Lao a hundred miles ahead and 30 kilometers into the ground.
“Go!”
Jiang Yi’s body flashed with white light, and he turned into Tu Lao’s appearance, even his soul spirit aura presence was exactly the same. Jiang Yi then executed the Heaven Evasion again. This time, he immediately appeared underground. Jiang Yi was getting more proficient with the Heaven Evasion, and he appeared slightly more than twenty miles ahead of Ru Lao. Jiang Yi immediately swept his divine senses behind and quickly locked onto Ru Lao. The latter’s divine senses were also very powerful and had spotted Jiang Yi in just a short moment.
“En?”
Ru Lao was slightly astonished as Jiang Yi’s Mirage Divine Ability was incredible, and he was currently looking exactly like Tu Lao. Furthermore, the soul spirit aura presence was also the same, and the only difference was the battle armor on the surface.
Jiang Yi’s body jolted with essence force and burst apart the surrounding mud and rocks. He brandished his arms quickly and smashed up the mud and rocks before he turned into a ground dragon and rushed at Ru Lao. Twenty over miles truly a short distance for people at his class and had traveled ten miles in just split moment. Ru Lao’s transmitted voice quickly echoed: “Old Tu, why are you here? Where are the others?”
He didn’t suspect me?
Jiang Yi’s heart was stirred up. If the opposition didn’t suspect him, he would be able to get close easily and make use of his astral winds to execute a sneak attack.
Something isn’t right…
Ru Lao’s divine senses had sensed that Tu Lao’s hand was circulating essence force and was obviously condensing an attack. Ru Lao obviously knew that Jiang Yi was a fake, and he had intentionally spoken like this so that he could beat Jiang Yi at his own game. He wanted to let Jiang Yi approached with initiative so that he could counter sneak attack!
The older, the wiser!
Jiang Yi sighed silently. It was fortunate that he had been impersonating others recently and was always afraid that someone might recognize him, and so he had been very cautious. Otherwise, if he assumed that Ru Lao didn’t recognize him and foolishly approached and got struck by Ru Lao’s sneak attack, he would perish in this place.
Since you want to beat me at my game, I will also beat you at your own game!
Jiang Yi pretended that he didn’t know Ru Lao recognized him and transmitted a message with an ambiguous voice: “They have all been killed by Jiang Yi!”
“What?”
Ru Lao paused his footsteps with astonished eyes, but his hands were continuing to accumulate essence force and waiting for Jiang Yi to approach.
Both of Jiang Yi’s hand was shattering the mud and rocks while silently releasing the astral winds. He had quietly formed an Astral Wind Divine Shield and had formed a few astral wind blades. The twelve soul swords inside his soul spirit quietly emerged from his body and submerged underground.
Ten miles, five miles, one mile!
“Kill!”
“Little bastard, die!”
At almost the same time, Jiang Yi and Ru Lao yelled out. Ru Lao shot out thousands of light spots which made it looked like tens of thousands of hidden weapons being released. Those black light spots penetrated the soil easily and flocked towards Jiang Yi with horrific speed.
Chi! Chi!
Jiang Yi’s astral wind blades silently flew while the twelve soul swords silently rushed under his feet. At the same moment, a flexible sword appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand while he frenziedly released the Divine Sound Heaven Skill.
The Divine Sound Heaven Skill was too great, and those below the Demigod Realm would probably be affected, the difference would only be the severity of the effects. In the battle between experts, a slight disturbance was enough to decide the victory.
This attack is truly dreadful. The Astral Winds Divine Shield might not be able to block it. Fire Cloud Armor, it is all on you now!
The tens of thousands of black spots shot over like tens of thousands of arrows in unison, and their speed was much faster than the astral wind blades. Jiang Yi wouldn’t be able to dodge it even if he wanted to. He could only rely on the Astral Wind Divine Shield and the Fire Cloud Armor. The Astral Wind Divine Shield was able to block Wu Ni’s six-star dao pattern ‘Judgment Wind Blade’. His current Astral Wind Divine Shield was much more solid than before, and the defensive power was much tougher. When Jiang Yi saw those black spots, he had an ineffable feeling that the Astral Winds Divine Shield wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
Sadly, Jiang Yi got it correct. When the tens of thousands of black spots rained on the Astral Winds Divine Shield like a rainstorm, the astral wind energy in the shield was consumed quickly. In just a few thousand hits, half the astral wind energy had been depleted.
“I will not be able to withstand it. When clashing face to face with an enemy, a victor shall emerge. Old dog, time to die!”
Jiang Yi shouted, totally ignored Ru Lao’s attack, and used all his concentration to control the astral wind blades at Ru Lao, while twelve soul swords rushed towards Ru Lao from underneath.
With such a close distance as the astral wind blades flew by so quickly, they cleaved onto Ru Lao’s divine shield ruthlessly. Jiang Yi was alarmed because… Ru Lao’s divine shield was abnormally powerful. The first two astral wind blades actually didn’t destroy his divine shield while his own Astral Wind Divine Shield was about to rupture!
“Die—!”
Jiang Yi yelled out hysterically as the twelve soul swords reached the destination and shot into Ru Lao’s divine shield, like divine rainbows and directly entering Ru Lao body before rushing at his soul spirit.
“Soul spirit attack?”
Ru Lao’s eyes contracted. If these soul spirit attacks weren’t powerful, he would just have to concentrate on the astral wind attacks on the outside. If he didn’t block these soul spirit attacks, his soul spirit was certainly going to be scattered. If he blocked these soul spirit attacks, his divine shield would surely shatter.
The soul swords speed was very fast, and Ru Lao had involuntarily hesitated. The twelve soul swords had already rushed into his soul spirit sea and were vigorously smashing at his soul spirit. Ru Lao had no choice but to control the soul spirit defense treasure in his soul spirit sea and defend.
Chi! Chi!
The astral wind blades that followed up from behind had effortlessly shattered Ru Lao’s divine shield, and the pseudo-divine artifact armor on the surface of his body. Finally, his body got minced into pieces.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
At almost the same time, Jiang Yi’s Astral Winds Divine Shield was ruptured, and layers of his Fire Cloud Armor burst apart. Fortunately… Ru Lao died one moment earlier than him, and after those black spots had no one controlling them, they silently dissipated into the air.
“Pfff…”
Jiang Yi’s body had been blasted into a bloodied mess, and he vomited a few mouthfuls of fresh blood. He grinned but his face was distorted due to the pain, making it look abnormally sinister and horrifying.
The situation earlier was too treacherous. Had he hesitated for one moment or was afraid of death and thinking of how to defend, dodge, or escape, he would probably turn into a pile of flesh pulp. It was only by severing all notions of seeking alternatives was he able to push himself forward and achieve victory.
“It is great to be alive!”
He let out a long breath and forcefully dragged his severely injured body to flew forward and grabbed Ru Lao’s unscathed spatial ring. He extended his divine senses into the spatial ring immediately. If Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu were being carried to escape, they would surely be inside a spatial divine artifact.
