Chapter 937 - 937 185 A Close Contest

937: Chapter 185: A Close Contest 937: Chapter 185: A Close Contest Yu Siqing was very clear that although he had previously beaten Jiang Wang by a margin in the pursuit and escape confrontation, at one point pushing him to a dead end,it didn’t mean that he was much better than Jiang Wang in strategizing.

The situation was such that the Sea Clan held a comprehensive advantage in the Dingwei region, leaving Jiang Wang with little room to maneuver and not many choices.

His reliance was far from sufficient.

At a time when he had the upper hand, he did not need much ingenuity, just a position of “stability” to steadily force his enemy into a dead end.

In fact, under the large army’s manhunt, the fact that this man, with his Neifu Cultivator’s cultivation, struggled for so long was enough to warrant his attention.

This person’s talent might not match that of Proud Life, but he could also be considered a genius.

Shuiying Shuang was as fearful of him as if he were a tiger, and the White Elephant King had made a lot of noise.

Now it seemed it was not without reason.

Only in terms of strength did he have absolute confidence in suppressing Jiang Wang.

But with the current rule suppression and his own Divine Skills of cleaving space being clearly watched, the outcome had actually become uncertain.

The reality was that once discovered by the Human Race cultivators of this domain, he would be dead.

Whether he left the Boundary River and was discovered by the Human Race cultivators or Jiang Wang left and brought back help, the result would not change.

So he actually had no choice; he must stay in front of the Boundary River, and he must also keep Jiang Wang there.

His chance for escape was for the coming army to construct a crystal bridge and rush to his aid, retrieving him—that was why he initially followed Jiang Wang without hesitation, as he had the army behind him ready to provide support at any time.

He thought that even in the domain where the Human Race was strong, he could rely on his strength and speed to quickly kill Jiang Wang and then retreat at his leisure.

Only he had not anticipated that his luck would be so bad, having actually stepped into an area completely occupied by the Human Race.

Combat was inevitable, and there were two specific choices in the manner of fighting.

One was to fight with all his might and risk his life to kill Jiang Wang on the spot and then wait for the crystal bridge to take him back.

The other was to use his speed advantage to leave Jiang Wang behind and wait for subsequent support to catch up before striking together to kill Jiang Wang.

Yu Siqing chose the latter.

This was, without a doubt, the best choice under such circumstances.

But Yu Siqing soon found that Jiang Wang didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving the Boundary River to bring help at all.

With Longsword in hand and walking in the sky, he attacked step by step, seeming very determined to kill him here and now!

For him, this was undoubtedly a great insult and contempt.

He suppressed his anger.

Insult or contempt, only life and death were the final outcome.

Since Jiang Wang was willing to tangle here, he was also happy to oblige.

However, as the fight continued, Yu Siqing soon discovered something he had overlooked—

His speed was faster than Jiang Wang’s, especially after revealing his true Sea Lord form.

He should have been able to move freely and kill at will.

But Jiang Wang was always close on his heels, using extremely aggressive suppression, forcing life and death decisions without leaving any breathing space!

Although he was faster, the other’s Escape Technique, which showed the Qingyun Mark, was not easy to shake off.

It took great effort to maintain a distance.

What made him deeply uneasy was—could it be that someone like Jiang Wang, just a Neifu Cultivator, possessed such a mighty ‘Path Origin’?

It seemed inexhaustible, as if it could be used endlessly!

After blocking another sword strike from Jiang Wang, Yu Siqing had no choice but to leave his Sea Lord true form to conserve the massive energy consumption.

The rhythm of the battle seemed to tilt towards an uncontrollable direction.

As for Jiang Wang, how could he not know that Yu Siqing had followed him, and that the Sea Clan’s reinforcements across the Boundary River would soon catch up?

He did not choose the more secure method of leaving the Boundary River first to seek help from the Human Race cultivators of this domain because he feared that the Sea Clan’s reinforcements would arrive and allow Yu Siqing to return to the Dingwei Region.

When he realized he could fight, his goal had changed.

His current goal was not to escape, but to kill Yu Siqing!

Chu Mi, forced to build a bridge with his death, cursed Yu Siqing with his last breath, wishing him a terrible death aside from “crossing the river.”

Since he lived because of Chu Mi, he should fulfill Chu Mi’s last wish and really make Yu Siqing…

suffer a terrible death!

So he pressed on step by step, attacking fiercely with every step.

He of course knew that Yu Siqing was faster than him and could easily deal with his entanglement.

But he also had an advantage that Yu Siqing could not compare with.

His speed was based on the Immortal Technique, Walk in the Sky, and the consumption of Walk in the Sky mainly came from the Technique Introducer Qingyun blessings, which were abundant in the Cloud Top Fairy Palace!

How long can Yu Siqing maintain his true form as the Sea Lord?

How long can his extreme speed last?

Therefore, Jiang Wang desperately pressed forward to increase Yu Siqing’s consumption, using the endless good fortune Qingyun created by Green Cloud Pavilion to deplete Yu Siqing’s physical strength.

This allowed him to gain more advantages in terms of combat power.

It could be said that both sides had their calculations and neither had made a misstep.

However, now, Yu Siqing was indeed in a difficult position where he could not dismount a tiger he had mounted.

He had not chosen to fight desperately from the beginning but opted for exhaustion instead; thus, as time passed, his consumption intensified, and the chances of success in a fight to the death were even less than initially.

Hence all he could do was grit his teeth and continue to engage in this war of attrition.

But he did not know when reinforcements would arrive.

In the painful wait, he even began to doubt whether the reinforcements would come at all!

Shuiying Rong, that bastard, was it possible for him to take revenge out of private spite and deliberately delay?

Or perhaps to preserve the strength of the main force, he would not advance his troops before probing the details of the connected areas?

What frightened him was that these things were indeed very likely to happen.

What Yu Siqing did not know was that Jiang Wang was in a similarly difficult position.

Compared to Yu Siqing, Jiang Wang was even less aware of when the Sea Clan’s reinforcements would arrive; he exerted all his strength to fight Yu Siqing, aiming to kill him before the Sea Clan reinforcements got there.

But Yu Siqing was too tough of an opponent.

Despite being suppressed, having a leg broken, and consumed greatly, he still stubbornly held the defensive line, not giving Jiang Wang a chance to strike a killing blow.

And if the reinforcements arrived earlier than expected, his decision to stay at the Boundary River to fight would unquestionably become a foolish choice.

But now, he could not let go either!

He was using his maximum speed to force the fight with Yu Siqing, and Yu Siqing, in turn, was avoiding him amidst severe consumption; if Jiang Wang withdrew now, he would immediately face Yu Siqing’s most frenzied counterattack.

Being already slower than his opponent, he would instantly fall into a disadvantage.

So, he also had no choice but to continue!

At this moment, both sides in the fight were actually gritting their teeth and enduring, yet neither showed any sign of weakness.

This was a battle concerning strength, battle wisdom, luck, and most of all, perseverance.

Before the real life and death outcome was decided, no one could assert victory or defeat.

But seeing the Qingyun Mark appear and disappear, Yu Siqing’s figure overlapped heavily.

In front of the colorful Boundary River, black tides, flaming waves, claw winds, and Sword Qi…

crisscrossed in chaos.

The fight seemed endless.

“You are destined to die today!”

Jiang Wang finally found his opportunity, summoning two Body-Binding Chains from the void with one hand to block Yu Siqing’s retreat, stepping on the Shattered Green Clouds with one foot, his sword impetuous with youth, sealing off the possibility of Yu Siqing dodging left or right, and at the same time, opening his mouth to spew forth Samadhi True Fire!

This was indeed a time when Yu Siqing was extremely weak, under the consumption of extreme speed, he ultimately could not outlast Jiang Wang who was a Technique Introducer of exhaustion.

Out of breath, he fell directly into the killing zone.

But he revealed a victorious smile instead, “Is that so?”

Falling backward, he allowed the Body-Binding Chains to bind him, choosing the least lethal of Jiang Wang’s attacks to face.

And at that exact moment, over the colorful Boundary River, a crystal bridge spanned across.

The reinforcements had arrived!
