Chapter 926 - 926 174 The Duke Crosses the River No More

926: Chapter 174: The Duke Crosses the River No More 926: Chapter 174: The Duke Crosses the River No More Chu Mi mistakenly thought that Jiang Wang’s Path Origin was more powerful than that of the Outer Tower Cultivators, but that was not the case.Although his Heaven and Earth Lonely Island was vast and solid, naturally stable, and did not require too much Path Origin to support, it was not like the Outer Tower Cultivators who could completely free their Path Origin.

The reason he could travel at high speed for a quarter of an hour without a change in his expression was actually because the Immortal Technique “Walk in the Sky” mainly consumed Technique Introducer, and the consumption of Path Origin was very little.

With a Green Cloud Pavilion in the Cloud Top Fairy Palace continuously creating Technique Introducer, he naturally didn’t need to worry about lacking follow-up support.

Although the Cloud Top Fairy Palace was far from recovery, and the speed at which Green Cloud Pavilion created Technique Introducer was not as good as before, it was no longer the time when the Cloud Top Fairy Palace dominated the world.

There weren’t as many Immortal Palace disciples dividing the use of Technique Introducer, and for Jiang Wang alone, there was more than enough to spare.

Hastening to Boundary River with his condition not too expended was undoubtedly an advantage.

But perhaps, that was the only advantage.

When that Sea Clan member who had arrived at the Boundary River first, in their true form, entered the sight of the Red Mirror, Jiang Wang held his breath and stopped.

It was a male Sea Clan member with a sharp face and a cold gaze, his race’s characteristic being the black scales on his brow bones.

Jiang Wang knew that for the Sea Clan to use their true form it was extremely draining, just like when a Transcendent Cultivator used Divine Skills.

In other words, this member of the Sea Clan whom Chu Mi named Yu Siqing must not be in his prime condition at the moment.

But Jiang Wang had no intention of making a move.

The fact that the other party dared to use their true form and rushed to block the Boundary River, especially after knowing that he had a battle record of one against nine, and still chose to come alone, he must have something to rely on.

One knows one’s own circumstances best.

The so-called one against nine had a large element of chance.

Jiang Wang wouldn’t underestimate himself, but he also wouldn’t be overly arrogant when weighing life and death.

As an enemy, Yu Siqing would definitely not underestimate his adversary, and Jiang Wang dared not underestimate Yu Siqing either.

Especially since Chu Mi had already introduced him as one of the few strongest high-ranked Commander-level members of the Sea Clan in the Ding-Wei region.

This guy stood there silently, seemingly adjusting his breath — this undoubtedly meant that he was confident his speed was definitely faster than Jiang Wang’s, that he must have arrived ahead of Jiang Wang.

Moreover, he was not afraid of Jiang Wang’s possible surprise attacks.

Not far behind him was a line of nothingness.

It was not any scene from the Lost World, just nothingness.

Jiang Wang approached quietly, and it was still the same.

He finally confirmed that the Red Mirror could not reflect the Boundary River.

His intention to observe the Boundary River before crossing was obviously in vain.

It was probably because the “Boundary River” is a fragmented zone of time and space, the most chaotic and broken area in the entire chaotic Lost World, with no rules whatsoever.

The reflecting ability of the Red Mirror relies on some sort of rule.

When all rules are broken, the Red Mirror loses its ability to reflect.

Only in this way can it be explained that the Red Mirror could not reflect the target.

Luckily, the scenes outside the seven-mile Boundary River were still clearly reflected.

When devising strategies to cross the river, one only needed to lock onto that line of nothingness.

The Boundary River is difficult to traverse, with the chaos swirling within it, and the broken time and space tearing apart anyone and anything who carelessly falls in.

But the Lost World is a unified battlefield, and communication between different regions is essential.

Therefore, both the Human Race and the Sea Clan have long studied methods to “cross the river.”

The method of the Human Race is to create “bridges.”

In Jiang Wang’s Storage Box now lies one, given by Fu Yanqing before he set off.

Plainly put, the so-called bridge is made of crystal and, with a special Secret Technique blessing, can span the Boundary River, allowing users to cross over with ease.

The principle is simply to use the crystal to temporarily stabilize the rules within the Boundary River.

When chaos settles down, that segment of the Boundary River naturally becomes less dangerous.

From this, it can be seen that crystals are truly the most important strategic resource in the Lost World, needed in many critical places.

Jiang Wang’s current goal was to successfully use the bridge to cross the river despite Yu Siqing’s interception.

How should he go about this?

As he was thinking, another figure entered the sight of the Red Mirror.

It was an “old friend.”

Jiang Wang didn’t know his name, but he knew his true form as the master of the sea, with six wings, eighty feet, and extraordinary speed.

It was the very same commander-level Sea Clan member who had been scared off by the Astray Path.

This fellow must have come from another direction, for beneath the White Elephant King, perhaps only he and Yu Siqing were the fastest.

By now, Yu Siqing’s strategy had become quite clear.

He had plainly intended to block the Boundary River first, cutting off Jiang Wang’s chance to cross over.

Starting from the Boundary River, he would launch a search and destroy operation in the area beyond, looking for Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang did not know that to hunt him down, the White Elephant King had dispatched an entire Sea Nest’s army.

At this moment, in the wild fields, Sea Clan members were roaming everywhere.

But this did not prevent him from making a judgment—

As time went on, more and more Sea Clan members would arrive.

The hope of crossing the river would become increasingly slim.

Time was not on his side.

However, Yu Siqing alone was already a tough opponent, and now another assistant had arrived.

How could he break through their joint blockade?

Charging straight through was certainly not feasible, as the speed of these two Sea Clan members was exceedingly fast.

He might get intercepted in the blink of an eye, losing all opportunities.

…

…

Before Shuiying Shuang landed on the Boundary River, he looked at the multicolored fragmented currents and subconsciously stood a little farther away.

“Brother Fish,” he greeted Yu Siqing with a salute, “our king has ordered me to hurry here.”

Yu Siqing glanced at him with sinister eyes, “Take good care of yourself.

Today is the day to wash away the shame of the Shuiying family.”

Like Yu Siqing, Shuiying Shuang also showed his true form as the master of the sea and rushed all the way here.

Compared to the unflappable Yu Siqing, Shuiying Shuang was clearly overly exhausted.

Although he was only a bit slower than Yu Siqing in absolute speed, he fell far short in other areas.

Fortunately, he had a True King as his grandfather, so he didn’t have to bow his head too much.

Upon hearing this, his expression became extremely ugly.

He and his battle team from Yu Wangu had been nearly wiped out by a Cultivator of the God’s Inner Mansion in a nine-to-one fight.

This incident had long spread throughout the Sea Nests in the area beyond.

Many Sea Clan members secretly mocked them, but given his strength and status, few dared to show such disdain openly.

Yu Siqing, who had a title of king within reach, naturally wouldn’t care too much about his identity as a descendant of a True King.

Unable to contain himself, Shuiying Shuang said, “Brother Fish, do not underestimate our enemy; that is a Human Race powerhouse with the talent of ‘Proud Life.’ I think we should remain vigilant and wait for our brothers to arrive before taking further action.”

Yu Siqing didn’t really believe that in his heart.

How often did a talent like Proud Life appear?

However, he couldn’t refute it because it was a conclusion already established by the White Elephant King.

To argue would mean to slap the White Elephant King in the face.

“So what if his talent is comparable to Proud Life?” Yu Siqing said coldly, “Even if he were Proud Life, he wouldn’t be able to touch me when I was at the Battle General Level!”

He shifted his gaze away from the Boundary River, not even bothering to hide his contempt, “Just focus on recuperating!

You are already weak in combat; if you do not recover, you’ll be killed instantly, and how would I explain that to the Wing King?”

The Wing King was the True King grandfather of Shuiying Shuang.

This statement was undoubtedly a slap to the face, Yu Siqing’s fierce retort to Shuiying Shuang daring to express any dissatisfaction.

Shuiying Shuang clenched his teeth and eventually sat down in meditation without uttering a word, starting his breathing exercises on the spot.

He had thought about it, but for the first time, he realized so profoundly…

that battle of nine against one had become the shame of his life.

Anyone could use this incident to hurt him!
