Chapter 99 - Flying Sword
Chapter 99: Flying Sword
Boom!
A dull blast sounded in the building.
Amidst the churning white smoke, a special blue light spread in all directions.
Then, the noisy building disappeared in an instant, turning into a creepy mass grave.
This was because this was not a real building.
The building and hall was created by acting magical power on the terrain with a demonic item!
“Attack!”
Ji Ye held the Black Serpent Sword in his hand and used the Jade Ring Steps, Lovers’ Feet that he obtained from Wu Song. His figure rushed towards the area where the white smoke had yet to dissipate.
According to Fatty Zhu, the damage of this Extraordinary Rank-2 Soul Grenade was secondary.
Its primary effect was similar to a Staggering Bullet. The impact on unprepared soul creatures made them momentarily unable to fight back.
The soul creatures were indeed caught off guard. The Black Mountain Guards were still not properly dressed. All the female ghosts in their withered arms collapsed.
However, apart from the ghosts, there were two living people in this mass grave!
Whoosh!
A jade-white beam suddenly flew out of a corner of the mass grave and headed straight for Ji Ye’s forehead.
Clang!
A layer of yellow light suddenly appeared above Ji Ye’s head. It repelled the white-jade beam, revealing its true form under the moonlight.
It was a beautiful sword that was about a foot long and seemed to be made of flawless white jade. It was engraved with faint runes!
Clang!
The white-jade runic sword was repelled, but it remained humming in the air.
After completing a circle, it accelerated towards Ji Ye’s throat!
Clang!
This time, it was directly sent flying by the Black Serpent Sword.
It was repulsed back into the mass grave at a speed faster than it flew over.
Whoosh!
Due to the delay caused by Ji Ye, a figure with blood-red hair had already proceeded past his body.
It was the female hero named Katarina from Fatty Zhu’s settlement. She was already holding the pair of sharp, slightly-oversized daggers instead of having them latched to her waist.
She didn’t say anything, but her figure was faster than the ghosts in the graveyard!
The target she was charging at was surprisingly the only one who remained clean amidst the chaos. However, her expression was a little twisted. It was Granny Tree Demon whose strength should have theoretically reached Extraordinary Rank-4.
Since the other party was confident in pulling off a successful assassination of the leader, Ji Ye did not fight for the opportunity. He directly pounced at the opponent controlling the “flying sword”.
A flying sword was definitely a powerful force.
However, at the current Extraordinary stage, using a flying sword as a weapon would definitely have restrictions and shortcomings.
Firstly, a flying sword needed a special material that could accommodate divine senses.
Second, one needed to fully focus to control it. It was just like how it was difficult for him to use the Soul Alpha Wolf while doing other things at the same time. Furthermore, most of his strength was derived from the sword.
Due to this, Bao Daoyi from Water Margin, had his Mysterious Heavenly Chaos Sword forcefully snatched away by Lu Zhishen after he sliced off Wu Song’s arm. His combat strength was greatly reduced, and he was blasted into pieces by Ling Zhen’s Heaven Shaking Thunder.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The other party clearly knew his disadvantage.
Therefore, he controlled the white-jade flying sword with all his might and continuously turned it into a white offensive beam before Ji Ye could approach him!
Clang, clang, clang!
If this was before Yan Chixia taught him or him watching the battle today, Ji Ye might not have been able to deal with such attacks so easily. To a large extent, he would have to rely on Earth’s Boon to withstand it.
However, the Black Serpent Sword in Ji Ye’s hand was used with greater expertise than before. It blocked the white-jade flying sword again and again.
Frankly, if a flying sword was black, it would have been capable of carrying out a successful sneak attack in this environment.
However, there was nothing amazing about the sword being jade-white in color other than being more gorgeous.
If it were anyone else, it might be difficult to deal with them if their night vision was lacking. However, with his powerful vision, he could see clearly under the moonlight that the white-jade flying sword’s speed was inferior to a projectile.
Clang, clang …
As he repelled the jade sword, Ji Ye approached step by step.
In the blink of an eye, he was less than ten meters away from the blue-clothed controller who was holding the white sword case on his back. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Clang!
When the white-jade flying sword attacked again, Ji Ye suddenly smiled at him.
Boom!
The Black Serpent Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful force and hit the jade sword, causing the white-jade sword to fly backward uncontrollably and crash into its owner.
Coincidentally, the short but sharp blade stabbed into the other party’s forehead before he could react.
The blue-clothed man fell to the ground with a stunned expression. The image of a Silver Card flashed across his body.
Theoretically, after the player died, everything on him would become Ji Ye’s spoils of war.
This included the “White Jade Flying Sword” that was of extraordinary quality, considering how it was not shattered by the Black Serpent Sword’s continuous attacks.
However, Ji Ye did not collect it for the time being.
This was because the battle in the mass grave was already in full swing!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Fatty Zhu, who was wearing runic armor, rushed out of the forest. He held two pistols and shot a large number of silver bullets at the female ghosts.
Due to the fact that the material was relatively soft, the speed of the Holy Silver Bullets was relatively slow.
If it hit the armor-clad Nether Guards, it would not be able to cause much damage.
However, these female ghosts were only wearing thin pieces of cloth. Furthermore, their cultivation levels were lacking. They did not have much resistance against such bullets. Instantly, holes appeared on their soul bodies, and their bodies were pushed to the brink of dissipation.
“Demon Soul, come out!”
A cold shout suddenly sounded.
Another black-clothed participant was holding a black-red gourd and chanting.
Then, more than ten souls in various beast forms flew out of the calabash and rushed towards Fatty Zhu!
“Haha, I have two guns in hand. What ghost is my match?
“Watch my Holy Gun Baptism.”
Fatty had a total of 300 silver bullets. He was filled with confidence and he didn’t hold back in such a situation.
He opened fire with the two silver-grey pistols, hitting the Demon Souls that rushed out of the calabash until they could not approach him at all!
“Watch my Miasma Art!”
The man roared and activated another red-black calabash.
This time, a large amount of black gas rushed out and enveloped Fatty Zhu like a cloud.
However, a layer of blue light suddenly appeared on the bloated runic armor.
As if there was a magnetic force circulating around him, his figure immediately moved agilely like a fish in water. Before the black gas reached him, he retreated far away.
“Sigh, I was just shooting off my mouth, but you actually announced the name of your attack?
“Dude, look at how innocent you are. I know you’re definitely a hero, not a player!
“Which plane did you come from? Are you from the Daoist cultivation or immortal cultivation genre? Do you know the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and Gautama Buddha?”
Fatty Zhu’s smug expression was asking for a beating.
The Battlefield of Providence was similar to the City of Humans—humans could communicate with each other.
Splash!
However, the other party clearly didn’t wish to speak.
After dodging to avoid being shot by Fatty Zhu’s guns, he controlled the black gas to change direction and envelop Ji Ye, who had killed the “flying sword” participant.
Hum!
The black miasma covered a large area. Even though Ji Ye immediately held his breath,
some of it seeped into his eyes, nose, and other orifices. It made him slightly dizzy.
This was evidence that it wasn’t ordinary poison. This was because the Vermillion Fruit (Pseudo) he previously consumed gave him some resistance against many poisons.
However, Ji Ye circulated the Nine Yang Divine Art, transporting Extreme Yang inner strength across his body, instantly nullifying the poisonous gas that surged in.
Then, without any hesitation, he rushed towards the enemy controlling the poison-gas calabash.
Holding it with both hands,he cleaved the Black Serpent Sword horizontally. It was the “Transcendent Flying Immortal” move he created!
Crack!
Just as the Black Serpent Sword was about to hit the target, a red light that resembled a protective barrier appeared over the person.
However, under the Black Serpent Sword’s terrifying strength and speed, it shattered immediately.
Then, the second enemy was split into two by the Black Serpent Sword. After dying, a Silver Card flashed across his body.
Clearly, the evaluation and strength of the other party were indeed inferior to theirs.
