Capítulo 2166: Chapter 227: Come Forth! (Part 2)He thought somewhat sadly.
A small country with few people, one must think more!
Yet, as the battle began, he quickly discovered… he was overthinking!
Jiang Wang could completely keep pace with their combat rhythm.
This young man, though not yet at the level to clash head-on with God Descending experts, was perfectly capable of beating the drums and creating battle opportunities for him. Even every sword stroke of Jiang Wang came at an angle that was extremely comfortable for him. He felt definitively that Jiang Wang had integrated into his rhythm, providing him with an almost perfect coordination through astonishing battle wisdom!
Yan Po fought more freely and more joyously the longer he battled, and no matter how he swung with ease, Jiang Wang would always appear in the most suitable position… there was indeed a wonderful tacit understanding.
It had been many years since anyone had given him such a profound rapport.
This feeling even recalled to him the days of that unmentionable person’s name, the days of fighting side by side. Only back then… he was very weak. And that person was young and glorious, just like Jiang Qingyang now.
In a time of great struggle, conquest never halts.
So many heroes and champions, all like the eastward-flowing rivers!
Yan Po’s blade became increasingly dazzling, eventually resembling lightning in a torrential downpour, leaving not the slightest gap. Then, no light or flame was seen anymore. It grew increasingly plain and unadorned, with simple moves.
Only the cold blade edge repeatedly approached Zhou Xiong’s vital points.
His spiritual sense nearly stuck close to him, the more killing power surged forth, the less grandeur was seen.
And Zhou Xiong finally began to feel powerless.
He did not hold back.
How could he possibly hold back at this moment?
In that tight space, he had exhausted all his lethal moves.
This Jiang Wang slipped away, like a leaf drifting in the wild wind; he came and went suddenly, always intermingling with Yan Po’s offensive. Targeting him was unavoidable due to Yan Po.
Yet he could not ignore him, as Jiang Wang, though not transcended in essential nature, truly possessed the capability to harm him!
In terms of swordsmanship, divine skills, or Dao techniques, he’d never seen another Outer Building cultivator as extreme as this.
Originally intended to find opportunities in chaotic battle, but from the start of this tight space’s life and death struggle, he was firmly suppressed. And as the battle progressed… he was already trapped, unable to advance or retreat!
No opportunity left…
He realized this truth within—before the war began, leading an army of fifty thousand, God Descending crushed all, who could have thought this possible?
Hard to accept, but must face reality!
If the Jiangyong Zhou Family had one enduring spirit, it would be the word “face”.
Wei Guangyao and Xu Can, Zhang Song, with a superiority of force and aided by large formations, still hadn’t shattered the Qi Army. Even under Zhongxuan Sheng’s strategizing, the Qi Army was counterattacking continuously!
From the distant mountains also came rumbles; the struggle for the northern high ground line had commenced.
Centered around the Autumn Kill soldiers, plentifully rewarded and fully armed Victory Camp faced the Summer’s defending soldiers, who lacked excellent generals, making rapid breakthroughs.
Indeed, no more opportunities.
Retreating might be the best choice.
But Chu Min had died in battle here.
How could he face Chu Rang, how could he face Chu Gongyi if he fled?
Yet there were still fifty thousand Xia Army here, could he leave these soldiers behind just like this, how could he face the Summer Country, how could he face the Zhou ancestors?
Perhaps there was still… killing Jiang Wang.
He lowered his expectations again in his heart, from desperately killing both Yan Po and Jiang Wang, to just exchanging for a chance to leave.
Between Yan Po and Jiang Wang, he chose the easier target, Jiang Wang, who was more vital to Qi Country.
To kill such a Jiang Wang, free of God Descending hindrance, destined for the Dongzhen, with his death, extinguish the Qi Country’s visible future brilliance!
About the only thing that could be done…
His father was the Duke of the State; he himself was God Descending.
Guarding Changluo, with merits to the country, without regret for himself.
How did it come to this point…?
The counterattack plan arranged personally by Xi, the State Preceptor, had his utmost admiration. Even he hurriedly came as a Godly cultivator, just to ensure no-fail for Hui Ming Fu.
Clearly, every step was faultless, how did it end with this outcome?
Time? Fate? Luck?
Even with divine wisdom, still difficult to comprehend!
The spiritual field compressed like a cloak spread over him, clenching fists, soaring like a cloud tiger. At this moment, Zhou Xiong’s eyes turned red, filled with killing intent as he watched Yan Po, the Qiankun Clear Qi of Confucianist Gate cultivation gathering in his fists, amidst heavy shadows within fists, all revealing wind tigers, cloud dragons, fully poised to perish together with Yan Po.
Yan Po’s blade showed not a hint of hesitation.
In this advantageous situation, he feared not fighting with life at stake. The principle of fearing death leading to death is understood by anyone who’s been in battle for so many years.
Moreover, the distinction between killing God Descending and repelling God Descending is as vast as day to night in terms of merit.
Killing Zhou Xiong could preserve Yi Kingdom’s Channel-opening Pill harvest for a year! How many talents could this produce?
He was very willing to send Zhou Xiong on his final journey.
This allowed him not to retreat but advance, meeting fist with blade!
And Jiang Wang…
Zhou Xiong noticed Jiang Wang, as before, employing Azure Cloud Immortal Technique, vanishing and returning in a flash—
Wait.
This time he left and didn’t come back!
Zhou Xiong had fully gathered his strength, poised to strike, yet watched helplessly as Jiang Wang suddenly leapt out of the fray, flying swiftly further and further away, without looking back!
He actually ran!
Zhou Xiong was already prepared to withstand Yan Po’s attack.
Considering Jiang Wang’s combat rhythm, flying speed, and the positions of the previous three in battle… his resolute Life-and-Death Seal had even calculated which position on Jiang Wang to imprint.
But where is the person?
Such a notable person, where did he go?
Is this the genius of Qi Country?
You promised to wager your life, I sat at the table, and you ran away?
Zhou Xiong couldn’t help but suspect if this Jiang, too, acted on a whim!
However, with his cultivation at the God Descending Realm, he clearly employed the Confucian Gate’s Secret Technique to conceal his motives.
This gentleman’s Dim Decision shouldn’t reasonably be cracked by an External Building Environment level Jiang Wang.
At this moment, his killing intent had reached its peak, and he couldn’t hold back anymore.
Zhou Xiong, having lost his original target, could only flip his hand, truly lunging at Yan Po!
“Where duty lies, even if a million people oppose, I advance without hesitation!”
Qiankun Clear Qi surged like clouds, making his resolute spirit known to the world.
His hand was a mountain when holding, a firmament when spread; every finger represented a type of person, each person had their kind of valor.
All charged to their deaths!
No grand sound, just the space enveloping Yan Po completely collapsing!
Resolute Life-and-Death Seal!
But at this moment, he suddenly became alert.
The alertness was not because of Yan Po’s charging sword like a torrential river—he was prepared for Yan Po’s strength.
The alertness was because…
His Spiritual Sense swept over, and he discovered the hidden power behind him from the Disaster Fighting Seal Method.
A sword unstoppable, under the integration of the divine Sword Immortal, slammed in with Absolute Summit momentum!
Jiang Wang left and came back, arriving at the decisive moment of life and death!
This ability to seize battle opportunities is indeed unparalleled.
But as the opponent being seized, Zhou Xiong felt extremely uncomfortable.
That was the discomfort he couldn’t shake off since Jiang Wang joined the fray, reaching its peak now, like a fishbone in the throat.
If this person doesn’t die, who among Summer Country’s younger generation can take him on?
Even if this battle repels the Qi Army, there will be another Jiang Mengxiong in the future!
Holding onto such thoughts.
Zhou Xiong wielded the Resolute Life-and-Death Seal, suddenly twisting!
He himself first spat out a mouthful of fresh blood due to backlash.
Following was Yan Po’s unstoppable sword.
He felt his Spiritual Sense had been split apart, his spine sliced, his Golden Frame and Jade Marrow disintegrating, his Spirit withering away.
But he manipulated his ultimate Seal Method, pushing forward relentlessly!
And yet he saw—
Jiang Wang’s robes fluttering, ascending the Azure Cloud step by step.
In a moment, he had retreated far!
That formidable, mountain-overturning sword, unexpectedly retracted instantly, unimaginable for someone without condensed Spiritual Sense to control.
Driven by the last obsession, he continued pursuing—
Until the figure in the azure robe finally stopped.
Only then did he vaguely realize he had reached his limit.
The endlessly dispersing Path Origin and Spiritual Sense, the continuously collapsing Golden Frame and Jade Marrow body…
He almost couldn’t see how feeble his pressing handprint forward was.
Faintly pressing in front of Jiang Wang’s face.
As Jiang Wang calmly watched him, not moving an inch.
Silently, without a sound…
A circle of crimson fire lines spread out.
Zhou Xiong’s body, already slashed by Yan Po, maintaining its last attacking posture, simply vanished without a trace.
The process of achieving Samadhi, from when Yan Po and Zhou Xiong fiercely battled, Jiang Wang saving people on the side, while using Samadhi True Fire to halt the battle’s aftermath… had already begun.
