Some people could guess that what just happened was a spiritual soul-level confrontation.This was enough to shock everyone, Jiang Wang, even at the Inner Mansion Realm level, had the spiritual ability to intrude and battle a rival in Tongtian Palace!
Those aware of spiritual fights understood this terror even more.
In their eyes, Jiang Wangâs true talent was more horrifying than what he had previously displayed.
Jiang Wangâs future was even farther reaching than previously imagined!
Because possessing such a powerful spirit at the Inner Mansion level almost certainly locked in a dazzling future in the Enshrine Spirit Hall.
And many others, who knew nothing of spiritual fights or couldnât even think of it, were even more deeply astonished.
Ignorance breeds fear.
They couldnât imagine what exactly had happened in that glance, which abruptly disrupted Ji Shaoqingâs advancement process in the Outer Building!
Just how strong was this Jiang Wang?
Regardless of how the observers imagined, whether shocked or despised.
Now, the advantage on the field was completely secured
The moment Jiang Wang exited the spiritual fight, two pitch-black chains emerged from the void, intertwining as they swooped down on Ji Shaoqing.
Clang clang clang!
The chains resonated, but they were trapped in a semi-transparent water prison, finding it difficult to enter or exit.
Ji Shaoqing indeed had a trick up his sleeve, had Jiang Wang rashly attacked earlier and carelessly been imprisoned in this water prison, he could only watch helplessly as Ji Shaoqing, wielding the power of both buildings, would turn around and easily slaughter him
But nowâŚ
He had merely lost two body-binding chains temporarily.
He couldnât use Samadhi True Fire anymore, but he still had Boundless Wind, and even the unreleased Astray Path.
And Ji Shaoqing had already exhausted all his trump cards!
Both parties in the fight knew the current situation better than any bystander.
Therefore, fear was inevitably present in Ji Shaoqingâs eyes.
The moment he was forced to stop at the Star Tower, he knew, he had lost.
Yet, he held onto the last sliver of hope, wishing the aggressively advancing Jiang Wang would blunder into the trap.
Only then might there be a chance.
But now⌠even that last sliver of hope was shattered.
Jiang Wangâs abundant combat experience and terrifying burst of talent were not at all characteristic of a nineteen-year-old.
There wasnât a single chance of victory leftâŚ
And this was a life-and-death duel!
If he begged for mercy, would Jiang Wang spare him?
This question neednât even be asked.
Would there be a chance if he fought for his life?
There was none left.
So, in reality, there was no choice.
What of face, honorâŚ
As Jiang Wang charged towards him, Ji Shaoqing simply turned around, his body gleaming with water, and fled into the distance.
All were astounded.
This was a life-and-death duel witnessed by many cultivators present, one could say, everyone was prepared for one person to die on the End of the World Platform.
And yet, Ji Shaoqing was attempting to flee!
It was simply laughable.
âGet back here!â
The Jiang Wuyou, suspended in mid-air, grabbed a massive halberd with a flick of her hand and slashed it downwards from above!
Woo woo woo!
Roar roar roar!
The heavens and the earth changed colors at that moment, and the wails of gods and ghosts were heard.
Countless spirit and ghost illusions swirled around that massive halberd.
With a force mighty enough to split the heavens and shatter the earth, it bore down on Ji Shaoqing.
Jiang Wuyou, as one of the overseers of this life-and-death duel, had both the duty and the power to maintain the order of the duel.
That is, she could completely execute him the moment Ji Shaoqing chose to flee.
In terms of cultivation, Jiang Wuyou was also at the Inner Mansion Realm.
But, as a Da Qi Princess eligible for competing for the Dragon Throne, how terrifying could the combat power she demonstrated truly be?
This halberd might just be the answer!
Ji Shaoqing, having exhausted all his cards, widened his terrified eyes, almost utterly unable to resist.
Her name was Jiang Wuyou, and this halberdâs name wasâFangtian Ghost God!
The Lord of Hua Ying Palace, having been suppressed in the Near Sea Archipelago for too long, the fury of a Da Qi Princess demanded recognition!
Clang!
Just at that moment, a hand, palm backwards, blocked right before the Fangtian Ghost God Halberd.
The wind stopped, clouds dispersed, spirits vanished, ghosts hidâŚ
and the sky cleared for thousands of miles.
The man who appeared before Jiang Wuyou had streaks of black and white in his long hair.
He didnât even glance at Jiang Wuyou; merely with a backward palm, he caught the Fangtian Ghost God Halberd.
There were those among the onlookers who recognized him and those who did not, yet all fell silent.
Diao Hai Buildingâs fourth elder, Gu Huaixin!
Gu Huaixin did not look at Jiang Wuyou but stared at Ji Shaoqing and said, âIf you dare to flee, I will kill you myself.â
His words were stern, just, and utterly selfless.
They effectively cut off Ji Shaoqingâs retreat.
However, a flicker of joy passed through Ji Shaoqingâs eyes.
With Gu Huaixin here, would he still die?
Would Jiang Wang dare, in the presence of a True Man of the Age, to strike down this True Manâs disciple?
âWhy would I flee?â he immediately cried out loud, âJust now was merely a strategy to lure the enemy, aiming to strike back with a counterattack.
Why did this Da Qi Princess make a move against me?
Did she intend to let my planning go in vain, disregarding the fairness of this battle?â
These utterly confounding accusations were astonishing.
Yet his indignation was so vivid that it made some people start to doubt.
Indeed, Ji Shaoqing had driven his opponents into danger multiple times before; he was not without the power to fight, so why flee?
In front of so many people, unless he no longer cared for face, how could he possibly flee?
It was rather Jiang Wuyou who seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill, seizing the opportunity to intervene.
After all, to many cultivators in the Near Sea Archipelago, people from Qi were inherently arrogant!
Facing the obstruction of a True Man of the Age, Jiang Wuyou, no matter how strong, was powerless.
Her status, after all, did not carry as much weight here as it did in Qi Boundary.
The biting retort from Ji Shaoqing made her so furious that she wanted to enter the fray herself and settle this life and death battle.
But that hand in front of her was like a mountain, like a city, blocking her.
It was then that Jiang Wang spoke.
âHow dare you turn your back on me!â
His longsword thrust forward, swift as a streak of light.
His response was very simple, not wasting any words with Ji Shaoqingâarenât you saying you didnât plan to flee?
Very well, the duel is still on, and I still intend to kill you.
Even with Gu Huaixin present!
Ji Shaoqing hurriedly turned around.
Whoosh~
A blast of Boundless Wind!
It shattered his protective water light instantly.
Ji Shaoqing ducked low, retreating, but his hair flew about, severed by the swordâit had just nicked his hair bun!
If he had been a moment slower, it would have been his head!
He now fully understood Jiang Wangâs determination to kill him.
He was really going to forcibly kill him in front of his master!
Fear once again surged through his heart.
The proud son of Diao Hai Building, now disheveled and in utter disarray.
In his frantic attempt to dodge, he desperately glanced at his master.
Why not call it off?
However, in those calm eyes, he saw a decision.
He knew that his own master really wouldnât intervene.
He might seek revenge after his death⌠but whatâs the point of vengeance if heâs already dead?
âAh!â
He roared, his eyes bloodshot, and suddenly lunged at Jiang Wang: âCome on!â
Thud!
The sound of a longsword piercing the body.
Jiang Wang really âcameâ!
He kicked at Ji Shaoqing, who was already in a frenzy, sending him flying to avoid any possible deathblow.
The body was pulled away from the blade, bringing up a splatter of blood.
âJi Shaoqing!â Gu Huaixin called out, âYour death is light as a feather, but the honor of Diao Hai Building is heavy as a mountain, you must understand this!â
He was very âfairââhis voice carried no intervention, no divine skills to stabilize Ji Shaoqingâs condition.
ButâŚ
Bang!
Above the heights of End of the World Platform, suddenly appeared a pitch-black object.
It appeared in a very peculiar manner.
It looked as though someone had punched through the space, shattering the rules, and thus it appeared here.
It wasnât supposed to appear, but it did.
So discordant, yet so forceful.
It was aâŚ
knuckleduster.
Forged from black iron, it seemed unremarkable at first glance, but a longer look would reveal the roaring fierce energy within it.
That was the horror of thousands of armies slaughtered, ten thousand horses silenced.
Those who knew it called it Overthrow.
Those who did not know it, had no right to see it.
Gu Huaixin firmly shut his mouth.
He knew this was the final warning.
