Chapter 1198: Punch With One’s Full Effort!
At this moment, the closest people to the supreme Yuan instrument were only Chu Liuyue and Jin Lei. Everyone’s focus centered on who would be able to s.n.a.t.c.h the item!
When they saw Jin Lei directly throw the ax toward Chu Liuyue, all the academy elders’ expressions changed!
“Chu Yue!” Elder Wan Zheng’s heart harshly sank! That kid is just an intermediate stage-seven warrior! How can he be Jin Lei’s match?! If he gets. .h.i.t, I’m afraid—
Elder Wen Xi and the rest were also anxious.
At this point, n.o.body could take action in time. Everything… depended on Chu Yue alone!
…
When Chu Liuyue saw Jin Lei, she knew that he was a legendary warrior.
He was a legendary warrior that had completely stepped into the Apotheosis Realm! This standard was much, much higher than her.
Even she knew clearly that she was bound to die if she fought with such a person! However, the two of them were so close—n.o.body could help her!
She had to take this. .h.i.t!
Seeing the cold ax that was rapidly flying toward her, Chu Liuyue didn’t hesitate as she brought out her greatest combat power!
But at that moment, her body was rapidly covered by a layer of gold armor! At the same time, a black s.h.i.+eld stood before her!
Jin Lei disregarded this and couldn’t help but chuckle. “This ax is an advanced legendary weapon, and it’s extremely sharp. Don’t think that you can randomly take out a broken s.h.i.+eld to—”
Tsing!
The two items. .h.i.t each other!
Before Jin Lei could finish his remaining words, his originally delighted expression suddenly became shocked and disbelieving. This was because his ax didn’t break the black s.h.i.+eld! Instead, it was bounced back by the intense impact!
Whis.h.!.+
He quickly avoided it!
That ax sc.r.a.ped past his face, actually cutting off half his ear!
The intense pain overwhelmed him as his face started to bleed profusely! In addition to his pale face, he was in a more unkempt state!
This wasn’t enough. The strong wind blew past him and also slowed him down.
The distance between him and Chu Liuyue increased again!
“You—” Jin Lei stared at Chu Liuyue in anger and shock. He held his ear with one hand while in disbelief about what had happened.
A teen that wasn’t even in his twenties could actually resist his attack and even counter-attack to take the upper hand! One had to know that Jin Lei had used all his strength to ensure that the attack would hit the teen!
Humiliated!
Ridiculous!
Then, the young man revealed his face from behind the black s.h.i.+eld. His clean and handsome face was pale as blood came out from the corner of his mouth—he wasn’t totally unaffected by the previous exchange, but he was still complete in the end!
Jin Lei couldn’t describe his current feelings. He looked at the black s.h.i.+eld in Chu Liuyue’s hand with shock and anger. This item clearly is problematic! Ever since I got that ax, I have almost been completely victorious! I have also never lost! No matter how strong something is or how thick the barrier Is, I could easily chop it down with the ax. Didn’t it happen to the barrier Rong Xiu put up previously? However, such a sharp ax had no use on that black s.h.i.+eld!
Jin Lei took a closer look and realized that he didn’t even leave a trace on it! This is definitely not a normal Yuan instrument!
Detecting his maniacal gaze, Chu Liuyue immediately became alert as her entire body tensed up. The other party is much stronger than me, and I almost couldn’t withstand the previous impact. If it happens again, my arm will be rendered useless!
She swiftly rushed toward the thing above!
“Tuan Zi!” she yelled loudly!
A red figure instantly came closer—it was Tuan Zi, who had just attacked the black-boned leopard!
Its claws still had some flesh stuck in it. It was left behind when Tuan Zi scratched the black-boned leopard’s face!
Chu Liuyue leaped up and jumped onto Tuan Zi’s back.
Whoos.h.!.+
Tuan Zi flapped its wings, and its speed suddenly increased!
Jin Lei instinctively turned around to take a look.
The black-boned leopard could no longer be recognized as its face and body were badly mangled. Quite a few parts of its body were still burning as it rolled around in agony, trying hard to extinguish the fire.
But how could a red-tailed phoenix’s fire be so easily extinguished?
As if detecting Jin Lei’s gaze, the black-boned leopard looked up. The cold violence in its eyes had disappeared, replaced by overwhelming desire and hope.
Now, only its owner could help it!
But the next moment, Jin Lei forcefully retracted his gaze and rushed toward Chu Liuyue! At this time, he had already crossed the bridge and couldn’t even protect himself. Thus, how could he still care about someone else?
The black-boned leopard was useless and couldn’t help him anymore. He could only abandon it!
Seeing Jin Lei’s actions, the black-boned leopard’s last complete eyeball moved. It was left with miserable hopelessness as it whimpered with grievances.
However, Jin Lei ignored it as he circulated all his strength. He hoped that he could s.n.a.t.c.h the supreme Yuan instrument before Chu Liuyue.
Imagination was perfect, but reality was cruel.
He quickly realized that the previous battle he experienced had exhausted more than half of his strength. He also couldn’t catch up with the red-tailed phoenix!
The distance between the two parties became increasingly larger!
This made Jin Lei more and more anxious. If I can’t even grab this last chance, I will have to stay here forever!
After much thinking, he clenched his teeth and made a bold decision. Since I’m bound to die, why don’t I take a gamble!? Even if I die, I can still drag someone down!
Thinking of this, a strange pattern suddenly appeared on his forehead—it was the Golden Wings Sect’s totem!
When the totem appeared, Jin Lei’s surrounding force increased! It started intensifying at an abnormal speed!
An elder suddenly gasped. “Oh no! He’s burning his own bloodline power!”
The disciples of the Golden Wings Sect naturally had bloodline power, but their bloodline power was different from what was pa.s.sed down in other aristocratic families. Most of them attained their bloodline power through cultivation or other means, and this was the most important criterion to secure their foothold in the clan.
The greater one’s bloodline power, the higher their power, and the more authority they had in the clan.
Jin Lei had now activated his totem and burned the bloodline power that he managed to acc.u.mulate with much difficulty. This proved that he was prepared to risk everything!
Chu Yue was in danger!
But once this was said, the crowd saw that Rong Xiu had already taken action!
Rong Xiu lifted his long legs and went close to Jin Lei! He had no expression as if his face were covered in a layer of frost that was chilling to the bone.
This made one undoubtedly think that he had already decided to kill Jin Lei!
