Yan Zhuiyang stopped hesitating and turned around to leave. Remarkably, he realized that for a long time now, it was not them hunting Qin Wushuang, but him hunting them.
He had already lost contact with Lei Jiao. Without a doubt, he must have encountered unexpected circumstance.
Thinking here, Yan Zhuiyang’s confidence had already become slightly less than before. He rolled his entire body and transformed into a streak of blazing lights. In the front of the streaking lights, there was a pair of fin-like wings that allowed him to maintain his balance during the sprint. It would also protect him if he were to get attacked suddenly.
While Yan Zhuiyang sprinted, he pulled out the Supreme Dao weapon bestowed to him from Yan Guinan and held it in hand. This was a Supreme Dao broadsword. The handle of the blade was incredibly long, yet the knife blade was not broad.
This Supreme Dao long blade, because the knife blade was not broad, would receive relatively less resistance from the water pressure, so it was easier to perform under the water. Thus, it would exhibit a stronger impact and be beneficial in this circumstance. Whether chopping or cutting, he would bring out the ultimate power of the Supreme Dao weapon.
Yan Zhuiyang was running away, not because he was terrified, but because he did not wish to be in an unpredictable situation.
“Yan Zhuiyang, you are in such a rush. Where are you going?” A grandiose voice had spread over the water like a tidal wave. It seemed that this sound was extruding from all directions.
As soon as he heard this voice, he knew it was Qin Wushuang. Yan Zhuiyang was greatly shocked. His earlier suspicion had proven to be undeniable now.
Indeed, it is Qin Wushuang! Yan Zhuiyang’s heart sank and thought, “How did this Qin Wushuang lock in to my location?”
As he pondered this question, his uneasiness intensified. Enemies did not often terrify him. The most dreadful part was that this enemy possessed too many unpredictable tactics in which he was unaware of.
Yan Zhuiyang gritted his teeth and tried ignoring Qin Wushuang. Instead, he sprinted at full speed to try to break away from Qin Wushuang’s pursuit. However, he didn’t realize that it didn’t matter where he went. With the Observant Jade Finger Plate, Qin Wushuang could easily lock in his location from anywhere.
Especially within a short distance, this form of tracking would be incomparably accurate.
With one running away and the other pursuing, unknowingly a day had passed. Yan Zhuiyang had been frustrated and restless at first, but now those feelings had gradually changed to profound doubt and fear.
He felt that it was utterly impossible! In terms of speed, Yan Zhuiyang had possessed great self-confidence. One would know just by hearing his name.
However, Qin Wushuang seemed to have pinned a rope onto his body. Regardless of how he tried to escape, he could not break free from his control, like a kite.
Yan Zhuiyang panted heavily and thought, “If I just kept running away, this will only weaken my will to fight and increase his confidence as it continues. He is doing this for certainly he wants to consume my spiritual Primordial Spirit and weaken my will to fight. We must stop this, I will just fight him directly!”
Unexpectedly Yan Zhuiyang was consumed with evil intentions. He adjusted his Dantian and consumed a pill to supplement the spiritual Qi that was used during the high speed chase.
He grabbed the Supreme Dao long blade and stood on a reef. He would just wait for Qin Wushuang to come over.
However, what made Yan Zhuiyang disappointed was that when he brewed his mood to be aggressive in preparation for a fierce battle, Qin Wushuang ceased to appear. It was just like a cat playing around with a mouse.
After waiting for one hour, Yan Zhuiyang initiated his spiritual thoughts and spread his spiritual perception. When he saw Qin Wushuang had not come after him in the end, he shouted, “Qin Wushuang, you are sneaky. If you wish to fight, then come out to do it!”
In order to strengthen the momentum, Yan Zhuiyang shook the long blade from his hand. Indeed, that Supreme Dao weapon was extraordinary. The powerful yet bitter lights of the blade shot in all directions and stirred the water area within ten miles to become a pot of chaotic boiling water.
After a while, this surge throughout the water gradually ceased moving. Yan Zhuiyang pricked up his ears to listen attentively. He felt rather annoyed that Qin Wushuang did not issue any response to him.
His actions had seemed as though he were tossing charming glances to a blind person, actions that couldn’t possible have any effect.
Without Qin Wushuang’s response, Yan Zhuiyang was drained of any positive feelings. Instead, he was becoming more jittery. If Qin Wushuang was willing to come out to fight, he would feel more reassured. Regardless of the fight’s outcome, at least he could get a necessary understanding of Qin Wushuang’s divine skills.
However, when Qin Wushuang did not respond at all, everything appeared to be in a fog and in an unknown state. Naturally, it added to his terror and anxiety.
Yan Zhuiyang used his spiritual perception to observe for a moment and knew that this water area was about 1200 metres deep. These bodies of water were already incredibly dangerous. If he were to linger too much longer, he was afraid he would lure out the spiritual beasts of this zone.
It would be ironic if while waiting here to kill Qin Wushuang another beast launched a surprise attack on him.. Therefore, after Yan Zhuiyang had waited for a while he decided to retreat since he saw no movement.
Just as he took a few steps, Qin Wushuang’s voice emerged again like a deceased soul that remained to haunt this world.
“Yan Zhuiyang, do you think there is still a path for you to walk in this Black Dead Sea?” Qin Wushuang’s voice was neither urgent nor sluggish, as if he was provoking Yan Zhuiyang deliberately.
The calmer Qin Wushuang was, the more terrified Yan Zhuiyang had become. He could not refrain himself from asking, “Qin Wushuang, what did you do to Lei Jiao and the others?”
“Do you want to know?” Qin Wushuang asked with an eerie tone. Suddenly, he laughed. “If you want to know, I can send you to meet him. Besides, I promise that this will be your only final destination.”
“You killed him?” Yan Zhuiyang shivered with cold. Hid body began to shake uncontrollably. He knew what skills Lei Jiao possessed and it was no less than his own. Additionally, Lei Jiao had the Supreme Dao Shield that possessed both an offensive and defensive aspect!
If Lei Jiao could not avoid Qin Wushuang’s pursuit, then it would be unlikely for him. As he continued thinking of this, Yan Zhuiyang only felt bursts of cold sweat emerging from his spine.
He realized that everyone had underestimated Qin Wushuang!
The consequence of underestimating him was unusually desperate. Now, Yan Zhuiyang’s last bit of hope to get away was severed. He only harbored one thought, to run away!
Run out of the water!
He thought of this, like the Divine Dragon diving out of the water, Yan Zhuiyang could roll his body and sprint to the top. The 1200 metre distance would be a piece of cake for he would arrive in one breath.
Only, now they were far from the starting point. If he got out of the water, most likely there would be several thousand miles to travel in order to return to the shore at the rear mountain of the Floating Snow House.
“Are you coming up?” Qin Wushuang revealed a light smile and gave a low hiss. Along Yan Zhuiyang’s escape path, suddenly a streak of golden light had pushed down.
Just like the streak of light he had used to deal with Hu Qiulan, this streak of light pushed down with the “Overwhelming Force of Mount Taishan”.
The oppression of this golden light was formidable. Before Yan Zhuiyang could dash away from the location of the golden light, it seemed that he was being pushed down by an iron board for his forward momentum was greatly reduced.
Inwardly, Yan Zhuiyang was shocked. He had finally realized what the light was. “Qin Wushuang had already set up an inescapable net to wait for me!”
Yan Zhuiyang’s upward momentum was instantly obstructed. With this obstruction, he had immediately allowed that golden light to take the upper hand. It pushed down directly and shoved Yan Zhuiyang down.
Yan Zhuiyang immediately tried sprinting from an inclined angle. He attempted to change his direction and sprint upwards again.
“Yan Zhuiyang, do you think you still have a way out?” Once again, Qin Wushuang’s voice rushed forth from all directions.
Now, Yan Zhuiyang did not even have the desire to talk back. He sprinted from left to right for he wished to search for a space to breakthrough.
However, it didn’t matter which direction he attempted to go for all four directions, including the area above were blocked. Inside the dark water, he kept being pushed back by waves of pressure without even knowing where they were coming from.
He couldn’t possibly know that Qin Wushuang had ten spiritual beasts! Among the twelve zodiac sealed spiritual beasts, except for the two strongest spiritual beasts, he had summoned all ten.
Of course, the five spiritual beasts at the Profound Void Martial Stage and below that had participated to chase and surround Yan Zhuiyang, but Qin Wushuang had not allowed them to participate.
After all, Yan Zhuiyang was at the peak of the Profound Mysterious Stage. Since he also possessed the Supreme Dao weapon, his combat skills could be described as equal to the elite warriors of the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary.
Therefore, he had only sent the Purple Pupil Golden Ox and the Burning Sky Explosive Tiger of the Profound Mysterious Stage along with the Rending Earth Devil Sheep, Great Desolate Giant Monkey, and Illusive Cloud Divine Dog of the Perfect Void Martial Stage.
The combat power of these five spiritual beasts were unusually significant. Despite restraining their fear against the Supreme Dao weapon, at least they would be flexible to attack and defend when facing Yan Zhuiyang. Even if they could not withstand the power of the Supreme Dao weapon, they could take a step back. Therefore, there were no significant risks when he allowed them to participate in this capturing task.
Of course, Qin Wushuang had not stay unoccupied. The reason for him not making a move urgently was because inside the water, he was incapable of controlling the Graceful Spiritual Bow as freely as he had on the land.
After all, the water pressure at this 1200 metre depth was unusually extraordinary. Although it would not stop the power of the Graceful Spiritual Bow, it was enough to influence the bow’s trajectory.
If he were to lose his center when using the bow and arrow, there would be no mentioning of the power.
Hitting the wall at every angle, Yan Zhuiyang was feeling anxious. It was not because he was unprepared for an intense battle, but if he were to clench his teeth and forcefully sprint forward, he firmly believed that he would break open a gap.
However, if he were to dash forward, it meant a direct collision. A direct collision meant that he would get stopped instantly.
He knew that Qin Wushuang possessed the Supreme Dao bow and arrows. This instant stop would be sufficient time for him to shoot at him. Due to this layer of worry, Yan Zhuiyang had not stopped moving even after several dozen attempts of dashing from left to right.
He was determined to not be targeted by Qin Wushuang’s Supreme Dao bow and arrows!
“Upper area and the four directions have been controlled!” Yan Zhuiyang made up his mind and clenched his teeth while thinking. “In the worst case, I will go down! I do not believe that Qin Wushuang would dare chase me to the 1500 meter area!”
Making up his mind, Yan Zhuiyang initiated an “extremely heavy fall” to dash downwards directly. The momentum from dashing to the bottom occurred abruptly. It was the only opening within Qin Wushuang’s circle of defense.
The weak spot in the defense was on purpose, with the thought that the further he went down, the more it would be a dead end. Therefore, it was unnecessary to lay out a defense down below!
However, Yan Zhuiyang had stubbornly sought a through road from a dead end.
Qin Wushuang let out three short whistles and sent a message through his spiritual perception, “Everyone maintain the formation, lock his location. Prevent him from finding the space to sprint upwards!”
Qin Wushuang knew that once he went down, it was impossible for him to gain any advantage! As long as he cuts off any path to the upper area, Yan Zhuiyang would not have the slightest chance to live!
Qin Wushuang’s murderous intentions had intensified as led his team to continue locking down Yan Zhuiyang. There was only one goal: he must kill Yan Zhuiyang!
