Chapter 824: Overwhelming Dominance
When Lei Yue took the upper hand, he should have had a carefree att.i.tude, yet the more he battled, the more he felt fretful. He even secretly felt somewhat terrified.
The toughness of this young man before him truly made him feel admiration. In the beginning, as they engaged in a series of moves, Lei Yue felt that the famous Qin Wushuang was only this much when without the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
However, after a few dozen rounds, Lei Yue realized that Qin Wushuang was also not a very good bone to chew on even without the Graceful Spiritual Bow. On the contrary, this Qin Wushuang was a tough bone to crack.
As the battle kept getting more intense, that little sense of terror inside Lei Yue's mind became richer. Vividly, he realized that Qin Wushuang's so-called disadvantage was because he retained his strength.
Qin Wushuang's innumerable combat techniques seemed to be only a form of trial and error after being away from battle for a long time. To put it in common words, he was trying to get a feel for battle and trying out new things.
Indeed, as the battle kept getting intensified, Qin Wushuang's initial twenty to thirty percent of effort gradually became more and more severe. In the original exchange of moves, at most Qin Wushuang only occupied twenty to thirty percent of his potential power. When the battle kept on, he also increased his power and steadily poured in fifty percent of his strength.
Initially, Lei Yue thought this would be the peak.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wushuang never planned to withdraw. Instead, just like boiling water, following the swift motion of the fire, he continued to flare up.
Just like flaring water or like violently surging waves, Qin Wushuang's attack moves surpa.s.sed the previous ones in succession.
The initially stagnant situation was in fact, slowly tilting.
Qin Wushuang also kept increasing his power, fifty percent, sixty percent, seventy percent…
Currently, he had reached close to his best effort. In other words, out of all of his attacks, Qin Wushuang seized eighty percent of the upper hand. For Lei Yue, at most he could only hold his ground.
Then, Qin Wushuang who went all out did not plan to restrain himself. Different layers of endless attacks were unleashed in a specially crafted way.
Accompanied with his dazzling body movements and with the collaboration of the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, wave after wave of attacks were simply as smooth as the moving clouds and flowing water. He attacked Lei Yue until all his limbs became weak and his entire divine soul shook. Without even having the time to breath, he held the Heavenly Oppress Spear and protected his fatal points tightly to not let Qin Wushuang penetrate them.
Standing on the side, Xin Tianwu was also a grandmaster. When she saw that the situation kept tilting, vividly she felt that something was wrong. Lei Yue's expression was enough to tell her how unpleasant the situation was.
She bit her teeth and activated the G.o.d Killing Bow again. This time, Xin Tianwu directly poured in ninety percent of her power. Inwardly, she secretly thought, "Last time, I only used sixty or seventy percent of my power and that guy directly engulfed it. This time, with ninety percent, the attack power is almost doubled. Even if I cannot shoot him to death, I must injure him. As long as this kid suffers a slight injury, me and Daoist Lei Yue can surely kill him by joining hands!"
Thinking here, Xin Tianwu activated her temperament violently. Controlling this G.o.d Killing Bow with her divine soul, she unleashed the arrows and let them fly out like a meteor.
There went another three arrows in succession. This was the maximum amount of arrows Xin Tianwu could activate. She rather wanted to shoot ten arrows at once, yet clearly, this was above her ability.
Qin Wushuang's divine soul power was incredibly powerful. Although he was engaged in close-quarters combat with Lei Yue, he was watching in all four directions and listened attentively to all his surroundings.
He already saw Xin Tianwu's attack stance from the corner of his eye. With a laugh, he moved the Heavenly Emperor Sword horizontally and changed the sword move. As gold lights surged, instantly tens and thousands of golden lights shot out to dazzle through sky. These lights went to shoot at Xin Tianwu directly.
"Daoist Tianwu, watch out!" Feeling austere inwardly, Lei Yue shouted unconsciously.
In between movements, as Xin Tianwu shot out three arrows, her body swayed like a leaf drifting in the sky.
Qin Wushuang's sword move this time was the first stage seal of the gold attribute, the Needle Concealed in Silk Floss. When the gold light shot out, in the beginning it appeared peaceful like a sponge, yet it secretly contained needles for its destructive power stayed hidden.
Alarmed by Lei Yue's warning, Xin Tianwu's divine soul emerged great motion. Evading with her body, she avoided it by force.
When the gold light arrived, with a brus.h.i.+ng sound, countless golden needles appeared. With a jeering sound, they burst out like bees flocking out of a bee's nest through immeasurable air bubbles.
Xin Tianwu looked at that s.p.a.ce with lingering fear. Inwardly, she was secretly in awe and cried out to be lucky, "If Daoist Lei Yue did not remind me, if I was. .h.i.t by this gold light, even if my divine soul stayed alive, my body would surely get ripped into shreds. Such a close call, it was truly a close call."
All this change only happened in between the flint of a stone. However, from the corner of her eyes, she discovered that the three arrows she shot out were incapable of reaching her enemy's line of defense.
That sword held by Qin Wushuang seemed to have endless magical power. As he rotated it around a few times casually, he drew away the trajectory of those three arrows completely and had them head towards Lei Yue.
"Ha ha, my Big Dipper divine skill is able to perform in perfection with the help of this Heavenly Emperor Sword. Indeed, all divine skills are interconnected."
He tried to make a fool of them by using their own power to take one another out. Qin Wushuang used Xin Tianwu's arrows to attack Lei Yue. Apparently, he used the power of others to attack their own.
Although Lei Yue could not take down Qin Wushuang, his defense was still watertight. When he saw Qin Wushuang guide those arrows to attack himself, he was already somewhat alarmed. Holding the Heavenly Oppress Spear, he gave out a few striking moves to sweep away the three arrows.
Despite being prepared, Lei Yue was still thrown into a fl.u.s.tered situation as he got shaken by these three arrows. His divine soul shook. This G.o.d Killing Bow was no ordinary bow. It carried the attack attribute from the user's divine soul. Since it could harm the body and attack the divine soul, it earned the name as the G.o.d Killing Bow.
For the Genuine Divine Six Weapons, it would only showcase great power if performed by Genuine Supreme Dao elite warriors. Currently, these three were all at the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage but were using the Genuine Supreme Dao weapons. Therefore, the power unleashed was only about thirty to forty percent of their potential.
Yet in this case, the weapon at the Genuine Supreme Dao was not ordinary. While blood surged inside Lei Yue, he backed away a dozen metres. He held the Heavenly Oppress Spear before his chest and panted heavily.
Xin Tianwu's figure dropped before Lei Yue like a falling leaf. She asked with a low voice, "Daoist Lei Yue, are you alright?"
Lei Yue shook his head with a bitter smile. "Daoist Tianwu, I'm fine. This kid is really strange."
A trace of deep restrained fear was also revealed from Xin Tianwu's eyes. She fixed her gaze on Qin Wushuang from afar and whispered, "The G.o.d Killing Bow is ineffective with this kid. Daoist Lei Yue, that sword in his hand must hold some secrets."
Naturally, Lei Yue knew about it after fighting in close-quarter combat with Qin Wushuang. He nodded. "His sword is only more powerful when compared to our Genuine Divine Six Weapons. For such a divine weapon, I am afraid even his majesty would be jealous when he sees it. Daoist Tianwu, did you inform his majesty to come back?"
Currently, Lei Yue already knew that most likely the scheme to count one's chickens before they hatched would not work. It was because Qin Wushuang's power far surpa.s.sed his expectations.
If he were to join hands to fight close-quarter combat with Xin Tianwu, even if they were not defeated, surely they would not hold any chances to win. Unless four elite warriors of the same level flocked together and encircled Qin Wushuang tightly with thunderbolt-like movements, that would be their only chance to win.
However, as he looked at the divine beasts wreaking havoc in the sky, Lei Yue was more aware than anyone that if Xin Tianchen and Yan Beifei joined the battle, the other two Supreme Dao friends could definitely not withstand the attacks of those divine beasts. Additionally, not to mention those elite warriors from different sects who were beneath the Supreme Dao in which they were even more powerless.
Without Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors to oversee the situation, the Heavenly Emperor party would definitely be trampled over!
Despite this circ.u.mstance, under the joint attacks from the three divine beasts, Bao Bao, Purple Flame Electric Beast, and Fire Kylin, the Heavenly Emperor party already felt battered and exhausted.
Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors were powerful, so it was genuine that the three great divine beasts would not dare to fight head-on with them individually.
Yet, when they joined hands to face one of the Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors, they had a great deal of a.s.surance. Most importantly, with the divine beast's combat mobility and based on their current situation, it was destined that they were the side to grasp the initiative.
For the Heavenly Emperor party, they could only take the defense actions pa.s.sively. It was because once they fought head-on with Bao Bao or the other divine beasts, they could not look out for their other friends.
In that case, as long as the divine beasts executed the guerrilla warfare tactic, they could take out their friends one by one. In the end, the result would most likely be only these leaders left.
These leader still got such ability to judge the hour and size the stock.
Therefore, regardless of how much destruction Bao Bao and his friends did and how much they provoked, Yan Beifei and Xin Tianchen remained motionless. They were waiting for his majesty to come back.
As soon as his majesty returned, regardless of Qin Wushuang or these divine beasts, they would only be destined to accept their death!
With Yan Beifei in one corner, Xin Tianchen in one corner, and with Xin Tianchong and Yan Guinan to defend in the other corners, they made a T-shaped defensive formation.
Regardless of how much Bao Bao and his friends charged forward, they could keep an incredibly stabilized formation.
In the sky, Xin Tianwu and Lei Yue were entangled with a b.l.o.o.d.y battle with Qin Wushuang regardless of all consequences. With Qin Wushuang's current combat power, he would have at least seventy to eighty percent chance of winning if he were to fight with one of them. Yet when dealing with both at the same time, he could only fight and stay on an even level".
After all, Xin Tianwu and Lei Yue also worked together many times and drilled countless joined a.s.sault formations. The combination of these two definitely surpa.s.sed the layered power of two people.
Qin Wushuang was fully aware that as these people executed such strategy, the core to this lay in one aspect, that would be to delay time!
Delaying time for Xin Tianwen to make it back. Through the Observant Finger Jade Plate, Qin Wushuang could clearly catch the speed of Xin Tianwen making it back towards the direction of the Aspiring Throne Mountain.
"In at most one hour, this Xin Tianwen could make it back. Within this one hour, if I cannot kill one or two Supreme Dao elite warriors, how can I establish power?"
Upon thinking here, a burst of evil intentions emerged in Qin Wushuang's heart. He slashed four times with the Heavenly Emperor Sword and forced Xin Tianwu and Lei Yue to step back. Activating the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, he plunged downwards abruptly.
With a plunging position, he threw himself at the corner where Yan Guinan and Xin Tianchong were located.
When Xin Tianwu and Lei Yue saw Qin Wushuang disregarding them, they followed him tightly while risking their lives. Once again, the Heavenly Oppress Spear and the G.o.d Killing Bow were fully activated to attack Qin Wushuang's back.
Qin Wushuang only felt two bursts of power that burned his divine soul from his back suppressing down with an unprecedented imposing manner. It was as if two lofty mountain peaks pressed at him.
He felt greatly astonished that these two would risk burning their divine souls to chase after him!
