Thus, the chase continued for a full hour. Suddenly, Ye Wushuang halted, standing on a protruding branch of an ancient tree ahead.
Li Jing’s figure came to a stop as well. She looked at Ye Wushuang, who was now within arm’s reach, and sneered, “You brat, why aren’t you running anymore? Have these mists worn you out so much that you can’t run anymore?”
However, Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “These mists not only slow down the circulation of spiritual energy once inhaled, but they also block any attempts at detection.”
“We’ve come a hundred li deep into this area. I think it will take your partner quite a while to find you, don’t you agree?”
Li Jing’s eyebrows arched in confusion. What did he mean by that?
Buzz… The Tianya Sword materialized in Ye Wushuang’s hand. Looking at Li Jing, Ye Wushuang spoke calmly, “Next, I’m going to kill you.”
As Ye Wushuang’s words fell, Li Jing was taken aback.
“You… you want to kill me?”
So shocked was she that her voice even paused for a moment. This guy must have gone mad!
“You haven’t reached the Wanfa stage, yet I’m at the sixth level of Wanfa. You think you can kill me?”
Li Jing spoke in disbelief. She truly thought Ye Wushuang had lost his mind.
But at this moment, Ye Wushuang replied calmly, “What else can I do? I can’t shake you off, and I can’t keep running from you forever.”
“These mists have affected your spiritual energy circulation, but I’ve already figured out how to deal with their interference.”
“In other words, even though you’re at the sixth level of Wanfa, you’re affected and may not be able to exert your full strength, while I’m unaffected!”
Hearing this, Li Jing laughed again. She had heard that Ye Wushuang had an incredibly strong talent and an unfathomable level of power. People like him were usually overly confident.
And today, it seemed to be true. Even if the strange mists reduced her Wanfa level six to the equivalent of level four or five, she was still far beyond what Ye Wushuang, at the peak of Tiansheng, could handle!
In just a moment, Li Jing realized something and sneered, “It seems defeating Jiang Yihan and Ji Ou in the Lingjian Mountain has really boosted your confidence.”
“To be honest, I do admit that I’m not as talented as Ji Ou or Jiang Yihan. But… at the age of thirty-two, being at the sixth level of Wanfa is no small feat either!”
“Ye Wushuang, you will pay the price for your arrogance!”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang shrugged. Arrogant? If he didn’t stop and fight Li Jing to the death, would he just keep running from her forever? That would only delay the inevitable. It was better to take advantage of the situation here and settle the matter once and for all!
In reality, facing this woman at the sixth level of Wanfa, Ye Wushuang didn’t have complete confidence either. After all, the difference in their levels was significant—six levels! Even though he had figured out how to deal with the mists during his escape, Li Jing was still at least at the fifth level of Wanfa, even with her strength reduced.
There was no comparison between them. But Ye Wushuang was never one to back down. How could he know if he didn’t try?
As a last resort, he could still activate the primal power within the first level of the Ninefold Divine Tower, though it would cost him some of his lifespan. He would only use it if absolutely necessary!
“Ye Wushuang, since you’d rather die than hand over the S椤 Sacred Fruit…”
Buzz… In Li Jing’s hand, a slender sword suddenly appeared. The sword was less than three feet long, with an eerie green pattern covering its body, exuding a chilling aura like a venomous green snake, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Li Jing knew she wasn’t a top-tier genius. She had encountered too many true prodigies within her clan, each of them arrogant and with good reason. But facing those prodigies, while she showed respect on the surface, she harbored resentment inside.
Now, facing Ye Wushuang, a peer of those prodigies, Li Jing was even more infuriated by his defiance! How dare he, just at the peak of Tiansheng, challenge her, who was at the sixth level of Wanfa?
“Green Ripple Kite Sword Technique!”
Without another word, Li Jing swung her sword, and the sword energy moved like a kite, light yet sharp.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Hundreds of sword energies howled around Ye Wushuang, like kites circling his body. Each sword energy was powerful enough to pierce through a first or second-level Wanfa warrior.
But as the sword energies approached Ye Wushuang, he shouted, “Hexagram Kill!”
With a grip of his hand, Ye Wushuang’s Tianya Sword merged with his own energy, and his sword intent reached a perfect state, bursting forth…
