Xin Wuji turned off the communication jade plate and felt incredibly carefree. For this time, regardless of whether or not Qin Wushuang could take away that Supreme Dao Fruit successfully, the Qin Clan would not win in the end.
If Qin Wushuang could not take away that Supreme Dao Fruit, of course the Qin Clan would not be counted as the winner.
Even if Qin Wushuang was able to take it away, as soon as this malicious strategy was employed, the Qin Clan would be at war and still get beaten by their disadvantageous situation!
Everything was within Xin Wuji’s calculation!
Xin Wuji felt proud in secret. Unexpectedly, as Xin Wuji was scheming against the Qin Clan and Qin Wushuang, Qin Wushuang was also plotting against him. Now, at a place not too far from Xin Wuji, Qin Wushuang was setting up a trap and waiting for Xin Wuji to fall for it.
As soon as this Xin Wuji had entered, four spiritual beasts of the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage along with Qin Wushuang would form a siege against him!
Qin Wushuang also made another arrangement: only spiritual beasts at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage could fight with Xin Wuji. For the other eight spiritual beasts, even if they were at the Perfect Void Martial Stage, Qin Wushuang had not planned to send them to battle. It was because Xin Wuji’s skills were enough to kill spiritual beasts at the Perfect Void Martial Stage instantly.
Qin Wushuang was able to go into battle because he could rely on Supreme Dao weapons through attacks and defense. Even if there was a disparity between him and Xin Wuji, it was enough for him to use the Supreme Dao weapons to deal with him.
Hunting to kill Xin Wuji could be considered Qin Wushuang’s toughest battle ever since he stepped onto the path of martial arts. In this battle he would encounter his strongest enemy by far.
This battle could also be considered the highest battle between warriors just beneath the Supreme Dao Stage. If he could win this battle, it would be the same as announcing that for all those beneath the Supreme Dao Stage, Qin Wushuang could claim to be invincible!
As Xin Wuji moved forward, in a moment he had arrived in the surrounding area where Qin Wushuang was waiting. Xin Wuji possessed sharp instincts as he suddenly stopped his footsteps.
Looking around like lightning, he swept all four directions and all of a sudden, he locked to the ground below him. It seemed as though his incisive gaze could penetrate to the bottom of the ground.
Beneath the ground, both the Sky Pilfered Mole and Moon Palace Jade Hare trembled as they scrambled to dig to a deeper ground level.
Xin Wuji was moved inwardly. All of a sudden, Qin Wushuang’s presence had become rich. “Could it be this kid is trying to ambush me here?”
Xin Wuji had the personality of a fox. Whenever he encountered a situation, his first priority was to consider his own safety. Then, he would consider other problems. However, he thought again, “If this Qin Wushuang were to ambush me, how could he not disguise his presence? Isn’t he telling me that he is close by?”
He thought very quickly. Immediately after, he remembered, “At the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, this Qin Wushuang had spent time training even though he was being hunted. He got spotted by the disciple of the Emei Daoist Sect during this time. Could it be this kid is still training at this place? Or else, why would these two spiritual beasts of the Void Martial Stage dare to be the vanguard, of all things?”
Although Xin Wuji thought of it this way, he could not find a way to verify it.
There would be possibilities within these two situations. If Qin Wushuang were training here, Xin Wuji could just charge him and catch him off guard.
If Qin Wushuang was waiting to set up an ambush, most likely this would be a trap. Most likely, the two spiritual beasts underground were being used to confuse him.
Xin Wuji had made contact with Qin Wushuang for a few different occasions and knew that he could be deceitful in many ways. He became extra cautious. Considering how Qin Wushuang seemed to be able to lock his position, this way, there was a good chance for everything to be a trap.
Thinking here, Xin Wuji could not refrain from letting out a lengthy laugh. “Qin Wushuang, I know you are here…”
Xin Wuji’s voice did not have that same wild hiss nor world-shaking temperament. Yet, like the waves, his voiced billowed forth.
Qin Wushuang revealed a light smile. Initially, he had done everything not to keep it as a secret from Xin Wuji. As soon as Xin Wuji had approached the nearby area of the valley, he may as well have entered an inescapable net.
He gathered his energy and said with an indifferent tone, “Xin Wuji, I am waiting here for you to finish this!”
Xin Wuji sneered to himself, “To finish this? Just by yourself Qin Wushuang? Although you do possess good talent, you may have overestimated yourself to make a finish with me, the son of the Heavenly Emperor.”
Xin Wuji possessed extreme confidence in his strength. For anyone beneath the Supreme Dao Stage, he had never considered them as an opponent on par with himself.
This Qin Wushuang was also not in the ranking of his potential enemy!
“Qin Wushuang, if I were you, one who relies on women to escape out of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, I would choose to run away. Yet, here you are here boasting about your merits, good!” Xin Wuji said with a smile as he appeared incredibly calm. Inwardly, he was already making calculations of how to deal with this Qin Wushuang.
Although the two of them were in a valley at a distance apart, they had tried to cross verbal swords to suppress each other. As Xin Wuji talked about how Qin Wushuang relied on women, he did not mention how he used this same women to get the Supreme Dao Fruit.
When Qin Wushuang heard this, his mind was as clear as the mirror for there were not the slightest ripples. He said, “Xin Wuji, if you think you can stimulate me with this method, then you are gravely wrong. For today’s battle, if you win, you shall take the two Supreme Dao Fruits from my body! If you lose, it will be death!”
Xin Wuji sneered inwardly for he knew that Qin Wushuang was incomparable to others. Despite for being an exceptional genius, at most he could only get ranked on the same level as Qin Taichong, the most exceptional person in the Qin Clan.
However, in Xin Wuji’s eyes, Qin Taichong was at most a tiny threat. If they were to fight each other head on, Xin Wuji had one hundred percent assurance that he could take out Qin Taichong within ten moves.
In the end, Xin Wuji was totally confident of his own strength!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Xin Wuji’s figure had transformed into a long rainbow. Slashing with the Supreme Dao weapon in the air, the miserable Supreme Dao blade lights slashed down like a wall of light.
The power was like a sudden clap of thunder!
With booming thunder, like devastating vicious beasts, it seemed as if he has slashed the entire valley with brutal force!
Boom!
The earth shattered and countless bulky trees had shattered into crumbs under this sword technique. Large piles of trees were slashed into halves. A giant hole had appeared on the ground and appeared as miserable as sinking ground.
Through the far away void in the sky, this sword move had shattered the earth directly.
However, Qin Wushuang had let out a long laughter. In the middle of the sky, a figure glided and dashed through the sky. As he spread out his Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings endlessly, he appeared like a celestial god.
Qin Wushuang let out a faint smile. “Xin Wuji, this sword move of yours is rather good. However, don’t you think this sword move is a bit of a bluff?”
Xin Wuji let out a cold smile as he pointed his sword at Qin Wushuang from far away. “Bluffing, is that so? Then I will make you understand what it means to be at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage!”
As the end of his words dropped, he shook the long sword and instantly, countless swords blossomed into flowers and congealed into lightning. Baring fangs and brandish claws, it had instantly filled the entire sky with this colorful lightning. For a time, there were unlimited rays of lights! Forming into a fishnet-like attack shock wave, it dashed to the sky.
Suddenly, Qin Wushuang’s figure had seemed transparent. His entire body seemed to have merged with the sea, like a drop of water. With a flash, he had disappeared into the sky.
“Cloud Garment Feathery Technique!”
This was the consummate skill taught to Qin Wushuang by Yun Xuechen. Qin Wushuang used this skill exceedingly well. His entire body had merged with the sky and with the countless clouds.
Although Xin Wuji possessed majestic power, he could not find out where Qin Wushuang had escaped in the midst of this instant.
“Qin Wushuang, you want to fight the finishing battle with me, yet you are using such methods of escape?” Qin Wushuang let out a proud smile, “Only, you think you can use an ostrich-like method to evade my attacks?”
Xin Wuji waved his sword like it were a dragon. With the sway of his body, countless copies of his body had filled the sky. Each Xin Wuji formed by the residual image seemed to be waving the sword.
Clearly, this Xin Wuji was planning to use his trump move.
At this moment, two tiger roars had emerged from the ground. In the same instant, two spiritual beasts dashed to the sky and pounded against Xin Wuji’s naked body.
For these two rays of lights, one was purple and the other one was bloody red. The speed of it had displayed endless power like those artillery shells taking off.
Shooting a glance from the corner of his eye, Xin Wuji saw these two vicious beasts were those two spiritual beasts at the Ravine Mysterious Stage that Qin Wushuang had used to work with to escape from that cave.
As Xin Wuji was at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, how could he care about two spiritual beasts of the Ravine Mysterious Stage? He waved the long sword casually and two dashing sword lights shot down at them with rapid speed.
Towering above, it had instantly dispersed into countless thin lights and shot at the two spiritual beasts.
These two spiritual beasts were indeed, Purple Pupil Golden Ox and Burning Sky Explosive Tiger.
This was the first step in Qin Wushuang’s tactic. He would make Xin Wuji think that these were all the trump cards he had and cause him to act arrogantly.
For the last two spiritual beasts at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, once Qin Wushuang were to use them, he must finish the battle in a proper and quick way. He wanted the effect of fixing the tone with a single hammer!
Although the dashing speed of the two spiritual beasts was fast, they had clearly left out some energy. As the sword lights swept at them, the ball of lights formed by the two spiritual beasts dispersed and transformed into two waves of meteor lights half way. They had shot to the side. Clearly, they did not dare to clash with Xin Wuji’s sword light attack.
Although these two attacks were not enough to inflict severe injuries, if they were to get hit, they would have dire consequences. After all, they were not at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage and would not dare to bump into the tip of the spear!
When Xin Wuji forced the two spiritual beasts to back out with one move, he let out roaring laughter. “Qin Wushuang, do you think you can use a few useless sealed spiritual beasts to make up for the fatal difference in strength between you and I?”
Qin Wushuang appeared from the tip of the clouds at a neither slow nor fast speed. He still said with such a calm and collected tone, “That’s right, Xin Wuji, soon you will see the fatal distance between you and me! Take my arrow!”
Qin Wushuang used the Graceful Spiritual Bow to talk big and pulled the string casually. Yet, no arrows were shooting from there!
Naturally, a layer of light greenish light had emerged from Xin Wuji’s entire body!
“Supreme Dao Dragon Scale Armor?” Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon who had been concealing himself in the dark was a descendent to the dragon clan. Clearly, he had recognized the powerful dragon scale armor that was hiding underneath this faint greenish light!
“Dark Mysterious, this guy is more troublesome than you and I had thought!” Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon gave a long sigh.
Dark Mysterious Snake laughed. “It would have been fine if he had used other Supreme Dao scale armor. I believe that you will find a way since he used the dragon scale as the armor.”
Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon laughed. “Let’s give it a try!”
As his body swayed, black mysterious lights pieced into the sky. As if a forthright guy had suddenly scrambled from the sky, his five fingers had transformed into claws to snatch at Xin Wuji whose attention was elsewhere!
