Chapter 681: The Moment of Summit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xin Wuji never thought that a person could just jump out from the sky randomly. Feeling startled, he overlapped his long sword to give out a slash that let out a bursting cross-shaped powerful air stream that knocked against his enemy.
That power attack sent waves of miserable ripples through the sky. The powerful explosive sound in between the clash of the air particles displayed the power of this grab. It was not to be trifled with by ordinary people!
Xin Wuji stood while holding the weapon and let out a cold sneer, “Who are you? Are you helpers invited by that kid from the Qin Clan?”
Now, Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon still appeared as human. Although he had not restored his true form, his strength was already abnormally powerful.
A casual attack from him had caused Xin Wuji to deal with it seriously.
As soon as someone with exceptional skills unleashed a move, one would know their true strength.
Instantly, Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon’s s.n.a.t.c.hing move had caused Xin Wuji to get rid of his previous ignorance. Instead, he fixed his gaze at Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon gravely with a face full of alertness.
Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon said lightly, “Kid, the more you resist, the more miserable you will die. If you do not want to suffer, the best way is to take your own life.”
Xin Wuji felt was if he had heard the funniest joke in the world as he laughed. “You are good. Yet you think you can talk so big just with that one powerful s.n.a.t.c.hing move?”
Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon did not like to talk nonsense. He took two steps forward and said, “Then let’s try a few more!”
He kept moving his body, like the lotus twisting itself among the breeze. Although he did not take huge moving steps, countless arms emerged from his body like the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva. Each arm had five fingers!
Instantly, numerous shadows of claws filled the sky and pushed at Xin Wuji with earth-shattering force!
“Sky Filling Void Divine Claw!”
Before Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon had completed his move, lights emitted from his entire body all of a sudden. It drew a marvelous curve line and knocked against Xin Wuji’s direction.
During the process of the curved line’s movement, suddenly the body of the Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon had unfolded. His four limbs shook and his body had revealed a huge transformation to display his true form.
The true form of the Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon was abnormally vicious. Its appearance was like a lion mixed with the dragon and somewhat similar to a mythical male unicorn.
However, his body and curved line had appeared to roll out incredibly. When he pounded against it, the das.h.i.+ng curved line that was formed was extremely precise as he went to knock at Xin Wuji’s rib cage.
Xin Wuji lost all color on his face. He used the long sword to protect his chest as he let out a few dozen sword lights directly. For ten metres before him, he had formed a defensive net.
Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon moved as fast as lightning and instantly, he arrived before Xin Wuji to kill him!
Brandis.h.i.+ng both claws with a devastating look, he let out a loud roar and instantly crushed this defensive net formed by the sword Qi into pieces, as lights emitted from his body with tremendous force. As spiritual Qi shot in all directions, the extremely dazzling and colorful lights had appeared as organized as dispersed firecrackers in the sky. In terms of its dazzling display, it far surpa.s.sed any momentary fireworks.
Now, Xin Wuji realized that this vicious beast must still be one of Qin Wushuang’s sealed spiritual beasts. Inwardly, he cursed Qin Wushuang for being so cunning! He had some hidden trump cards!
Certainly this divine beast was at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. In terms of combat power, he was no less than Xin Wuji! This sealed spiritual beast from the immemorial period was a veteran of hundreds of battles. The amount of combat it had faced through its lifetime was numerous times more than Xin Wuji.
Fortunately, in the end Xin Wuji was at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. With just a moment of hesitation, he held the Supreme Dao long sword and did not retreat. Instead, he went forward to slash at the head of Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon!
“Downwind Slas.h.i.+ng Wave Chop!”
This sword move was also Xin Wuji’s most exceptional skill. It could instantly mobilize all of his combat power from his entire body to make this sword move into the strongest one!
Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon chuckled mischievously and all of a sudden, his body froze. He pressed with two of his claws to show a crawling state. His entire body had arched into a beautiful arc.
All of a sudden, each piece of fur on his entire body had stood up, like barbed tips! As if steel needles had replaced his fur, they dazzled with light.
Opening his mouth widely, a surge of invisible power started to gush out from the Dantian of the Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon at a rapid speed towards the oral cavity. “Inherited secret technique, Swallowing Sky!”
Roar!
At this moment, Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon had unleashed his innate natural divine skill, Swallowing Sky!
When this Swallowing Sky divine technique was performed, the powerful absorption power rolled over mercilessly, like a swallowing whirlpool. Carrying the power that could make a clean sweep of everything in the area, it rolled towards Xin Wuji.
Xin Wuji possessed a strong mentality as he had emerged some caution with a flash of light halfway. If he had not, most likely he would have been absorbed by that Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon right away.
Despite this situation, Xin Wuji still felt surges of turmoil from his Dantian. The Primordial Spirit of his entire body felt somewhat floaty and at its wits end.
Although this divine secret technique Swallowing Sky had not breached his defense, it had intimidated his soul and caused Xin Wuji to emerge true fear.
Once the fear of death had appeared, it would be impossible for Xin Wuji to maintain one hundred percent calmness!
“So powerful!” Xin Wuji shook his head to clear his mind. He immediately started to a.n.a.lyze the situation. For this battle, Qin Wushuang had the accompaniment of three spiritual beasts. Although Xin Wuji still had some trump cards, in order to win, he knew it would not be easy!
This spiritual beast that was at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage before him was too troublesome! As soon as this divine secret technique was performed, if Xin Wuji had not maintained enough distance, most likely he would get swallowed into his stomach.
Although this spiritual beast was incomparable with that divine white tiger, such a powerful divine secret technique still made Xin Wuji feel bursts of troubling fear.
Xin Wuji thought quickly and knew that as Qin Wushuang had lured him in, indeed he had his trump cards. He had an understanding that today’s chance of winning would be fifty-fifty.
Since Xin Wuji was confident in dealing the Qin Clan, how could he risk his life here? Inwardly, he thought, “It seems we must carry out the plan to attack the Qin Clan! I’ll let this Qin Wushuang be free and easy for two days! You are strong and able to summon two spiritual beasts at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, what about it? It’s like a sandbag with a gigantic body, yet can it stop a large flood from gus.h.i.+ng in? Impossible!”
Thinking here, Xin Wuji let out a long whistle and said coldly, “Qin Wushuang, it seems you only have the mere skills of driving the spiritual beasts to work for you! If you can stay alive by blocking three of my sword techniques, you can take away the Supreme Dao Fruit and I will not go after you. How about it?”
Xin Wuji was using this method of provocation.
However, this little trick had appeared incredibly ridiculous in the eyes of Qin Wushuang. He said with an incredible lazy tone, “Xin Wuji, regardless of the skills, they are all skills. At the brink of life and death, regardless of what skills you have, one would only be afraid of not having any skills. Or with only these skills now, then you will be finished.”
Xin Wuji’s heart suddenly felt whipped. It seemed that each time Qin Wushuang finished speaking, he would get a bad feeling. This time, Xin Wuji had emerged the same prediction.
Just when he took note with rapt attention, suddenly an incomparable fishy smile pressed down from the sky on the west side. Next, as if dark clouds were pressing down onto the city, they covered the entire sky densely. A gigantic stripped figure flew down from the clouds baring fangs and brandish claws.
Xin Wuji raised his head to look, but could not refrain from breaking out in a cold sweat. “What is this?”
This dark ma.s.s in the sky was indeed, the true form of the Dark Mysterious Snake! Although this Dark Mysterious Snake was gigantic, it was incredibly nimble.
Suddenly, he twisted his bulky tail and brushed out blade-like attacks to slash at Xin Wuji’s waist. Theses slashes came one after the other three consecutive times!
Xin Wuji did not dare to neglect them as he forcefully found a chance to evade in between the cracks of s.p.a.ce with a body as nimble as a bird.
When the three tail whips from the Dark Mysterious Snake had not worked, he suddenly opened his giant mouth and let out a gush of rich poisonous fog which quickly pervaded the sky.
Although Xin Wuji had no clue of this poisonous fog, upon seeing such a terrifying thing, he would not be willing to get into contact with it.
Possessing strong power did not mean possessing strong resistance to poison!
As this Dark Mysterious Snake gushed out a mouthful of poison fog, it had instantly cut off Xin Wuji’s route to the upper sky!
He had no choice but to keep falling to the ground. Glancing in all directions, he lashed out with his long sword to oscillate towards the Purple Pupil Golden Ox and Burning Sky Explosive Tiger. He berated, “Get lost!”
When facing Xin Wuji, who had put all his life into it, Purple Pupil Golden Ox and Burning Sky Explosive Tiger did not dare to ignore him. They avoided making contact with him head on and instead, they used a roaming strategy to restrain him.
At this moment, how could Xin Wuji not know that he was trapped in a heavy siege? He was encircled by Qin Wushuang’s subordinates!
Among all the spiritual beasts, only Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon and Dark Mysterious Snake were qualified to form fatal threats on Xin Wuji. Now, Dark Mysterious Snake had controlled the upper sky and cut off Xin Wuji’s route of getting away in the air.
Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon along with Purple Pupil Golden Ox and Burning Sky Explosive Tiger had formed a barrier from all four directions. Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon would be the main attacker!
To speak honestly, this strategy was like wrapping dumplings. Now, Xin Wuji would be the stuffing that was surrounded by people in every direction!
Despite being bold with powerful skills, Xin Wuji could not but help to feel anxious.
He knew that as soon as these spiritual beasts successfully trapped him, with the power from Qin Wushuang’s Supreme Dao bow and arrow, even if he could not kill Xin Wuji with a sneak attack from behind, it would be enough to inflict heavy injuries. If he were injured, Xin Wuji would be alone and it would be easy for them to finish him off.
Therefore, Xin Wuji made up his mind that he must retreat! He no longer had a chance to win in this battle!
He waved the long sword and activated the greenish dragon scale armor completely. Regardless of all consequences, he dashed to the ground. Since all four directions are been locked, escaping underground would be the best escape route.
It would also be the best route to avoid the sneak attack from the Graceful Spiritual Bow! Flying in the air and walking on the ground would be too exposed.
Therefore, Xin Wuji judged the situation and decided to run away by an underground escape technique!
When Xin Wuji stepped onto the ground, he felt bursts of joy inwardly. Gathering all his power, he started to conceal himself beneath the ground. All of a sudden, Qin Wushuang appeared from the sky and a strange smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. All of a sudden, he threw out something and a burst of yellow light had instantly filled the entire boundless earth.
Falling Ground Tracking Seal!
It was one of the six treasures left by Lu Xianlou. Not only could it be used to track people using the underground technique, it could instantly strengthen the geocentric gravity ten times!
Ten times the power could instantly reduce Xin Wuji’s mobility beneath the ground.
As soon as Xin Wuji made this dash, he already felt a haunted feeling.
“Swallowing Sky, Dark Mysterious, Purple Pupil, Burning Sky, be prepared! The final show!” Qin Wushuang revealed a faint smile and had already pulled up the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
For this destined battle, the decisive moment had been reached!
