“…”
Even Fang La, the “Saint Master” of the South Kingdom, was rendered speechless for a brief moment.
It wasn’t because he had been stunned by Ji Ye’s words and began to believe the “Utmost Dragon Emperor” he brought up.
As a matter of fact, as someone who had built his empire on the dimwitted people, even he himself didn’t really believe the existence of a “Lord of Light”. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said something so disrespectful earlier.
He fell silent because Ji Ye’s bragging seemed over the top, with jargons like “three thousand worlds”, “trillions of avatars”, “mortals becoming gods”, etc…
Moreover, Ji Ye had even belittled the Lord of Light.
Fang La could have argued that the Lord of Light was more superior than the “Empyrean Dragon Emperor”, but he wasn’t the only one familiar with the doctrine. All the followers had remembered it by heart, and even he, the master of the sect, couldn’t change it as he liked.
More importantly, even if he could change, he couldn’t have made it sound as exaggerating as Ji Ye had put it.
For the most part, he couldn’t have told the followers that they all could become the lord of the world like the Lord of Light one day.
If that really was the case, as the Saint Master, the spokesperson of the Lord of Light, he would become worthless.
One shouldn’t casually give promises to the bottom-level followers that they could become gods one day!
Seeing the wavering look on the followers’ faces, Fang La finally put away his unperturbed mask, and his face turned livid.
“I won’t allow such evil doctrines! You’re misleading the public!”
Bao Daoyi, who stood next to Fang La, was very good at reading people’s body language.
Seeing the look on Fang La’s eyes, his mousy eyes glinted, and he scolded Ji Ye.
“The Devil of Darkness must have sent this man here to confuse us.
“This is a trial from the Lord of Light. Let’s kill him!”
As he spoke, he formed a hand seal with his fingers, raising the Mysterious Heavenly Chaos Sword to the sky again.
Hum!
It turned into a streak of black light, aiming at Ji Ye’s neck.
“Ha, you’re a Taoist practitioner, but you can’t stop talking about that Lord of Light. You’re a shame to your heritage!”
Ji Ye shook his head.
He then turned his sharp gaze to Bao Daoyi.
With his Greater Mastery in the True Seer, he was able to detect the trajectory of the flying sword. He then flicked the fingers of his right hand that was wrapped in a dazzling white light.
His fingertips landed accurately on the tip of the Mysterious Heavenly Chaos Sword.
Clang!
The metallic sound resonated in the air.
Then, the Superior Extraordinary Rank-8 flying sword twisted in the air like a drunkard before flying back in the direction of Bao Daoyi, moving even faster than before.
It was the effect of Flicking Fingers at the Greater Mastery stage.
The capability Ji Ye had demonstrated with that flick of his fingers was several times more impressive than the “Mirage clone” earlier.
“What?!”
Bao Daoyi’s beady eyes widened in astonishment, and even his beard was shivering.
He tried to control the Mysterious Heavenly Chaos Sword with his own mental power, but he realized that it seemed to have gone out of control.
Because the power in Ji Ye’s flicking fingers was quite unique.
Apart from the Flawless Yin and Yang Sutra True Qi, he had also injected some of the Power of Dragon Valiance into the sword, interfering with Bao Daoyi’s mental connection with his weapon.
Pew!
There was a streak of light.
An arm wearing Taoist robe fell to the ground, splashing blood everywhere.
At the critical moment, Bao Daoyi shrank in size, prostrated on the ground, and crawled out of his Taoist robe like a mouse digging into the ground.
He then rolled around, narrowly escaping the Mysterious Heavenly Chaos Sword that was charging at him.
But he still lost an arm.
Clang!
After chopping off Bao Daoyi’s arm, it stabbed into an elite Extraordinary sect soldier’s chest, and another streak of yellow power of providence flew in the direction of the Twin Dragon Island.
But that was as far as Ji Ye could control it.
Because after what happened to Bao Daoyi, many of those who had been in a daze woke up from their reveries.
Seeing that Ji Ye had cut off the arm of their “Celestial Master”, they couldn’t remain unaffected.
“Celestial Master, I’m coming!”
One of the commanders in Fang La’s army shouted.
He then threw a glinting silver battleaxe in Ji Ye’s direction. The axe spun fast in the air, creating a web of silver lightning.
“How dare you harm my elder brother?! I’m gonna chop you into pieces and feed you to sea turtles!”
That was from one of the navy generals, who was also one of the Four Dragons of Zhejiang. As he shouted, he threw a ball at Ji Ye, one that looked somewhat similar to the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
“You can’t possibly survive this!”
Pang Wanchun, now partially recovered, raised his bow and shot several arrows at Ji Ye’s throat.
“You’ve shown me your so-called ‘Sacred Fire’. How about I show you my ‘Sacred Dragon’ now?”
The attacks didn’t seem to have affected Ji Ye, and he still kept his eyes on Fang La when he pushed both hands forward.
“Roar… Roar…”
He fully activated his Extraordinary Rank-9 True Qi.
After two dragon roars, two Flood Dragons formed by seawater erupted out of the sea from under Ji Ye’s feet.
As they growled and bellowed, they charged at Fang La’s army on the beach, followed by rising tidal waves.
Splash!
Wherever they went, more seawater joined in.
The two Flood Dragons kept getting bigger and soon fused into one as they flew toward their target.
When the Flood Dragon reached the beach, its head alone was over 3m tall, and the waves behind it were over 2m as well.
That was the combined effect of the Left and Right Inter-fighting, Dragon-Subduing Strike, and the Flood Dragon Bloodline.
Pop! Crackle!
The battleaxe with flickering electric current, the dragon-ball-like object, and Pang Wanchun’s continuous arrows were all smacked away or shattered when they made contact with the dragon head.
“Ah! Ah…”
The common soldiers couldn’t even withstand the waves and were knocked off their feet by the impact.
“Roar!”
The three-meter high transparent dragon head charged directly at Fang La, who now had no soldiers around to protect him.
“Protect His Majesty!”
Next to Fang La, Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue’s pupils contracted.
Both shouted and exerted all their powers.
One wielded a 250kg metal staff, while the other wielded a 60kg hacking saber. They both used their most formidable skills and charged at the dragon head.
Boom!
But the outcome was quite different from before.
Ji Ye had spared little effort in this strike. Even the two South Kingdom generals, who were among the best Extraordinary Rank-8 warriors, couldn’t withstand it.
Crack!
The next moment, their palms cracked open.
Both the saber and the staff fell to the ground, and blood oozed out of their mouths. They lost their balance and stumbled back.
“Roar!”
The dragon head had shrunk considerably, but it still flew past them before turning into a streak of transparent dragon-shaped energy, jumped out of the sea, and pounced at Fang La, who now stood all by himself.
“Hmph! You’re very mistaken if you think you can kill me!”
But to everyone’s surprise, Fang La stood his ground as he faced the Flood Dragon that was charging at him.
Hum!
The True Qi coming off Fang La was as formidable as that of his generals. The fluctuation made his white robe flap loudly as if there were a hurricane coming.
After that, the True Qi Flood Dragon turned 90 degrees upward and rose a few dozen meters in the air before falling back down, splashing water everywhere as it fell into the sea.
Oh? This is…
Ji Ye’s expression changed.
Earlier, in the battle against the ten heroes, he wasn’t able to achieve the Flawless state in his Dragon-Subduing Strike.
However, he had obtained a little amount of Transcendent-level power. That was, he was able to inject some of his mental power into his strike.
With that, he was able to see and even manipulate his True Qi from a distance away.
“When the remaining palm energy almost reached Fang La, it was led away by another streak of True Qi, making it change its direction. Moreover, that power was even stronger than my control…
“Could it be Heaven and Hell’s Moving, the ultimate technique of Zoroastrianism (Manichaeism)?”
The Dragon-Subduing Strike was so formidable that no normal human strength could withstand it, let alone changing its direction.
But if Heaven and Hell’s Moving did exist, it could make the maneuvering possible.
After all, Fang La had reached Extraordinary Rank-9 and was both the Saint Master of Manichaeism and the sect leader of Zoroastrianism.
It seemed that in this Land of Inheritance, it really was possible to learn this technique!
Ji Ye was interested in finding out that between the Dragon-Subduing Strike and Heaven and Hell’s Moving, which of the techniques was more powerful.
But there was no time to test it now!
Because after Ji Ye attacked Fang La, the entire army of Fang La turned into a disturbed hornet nest.
At least a thousand people were sending attacks in Ji Ye’s direction.
Over 20 of them were from Commander-level enemies.
To Ji Ye, an Extraordinary Rank-9 warrior, attacks from common soldiers could barely touch him.
But these Commanders all had some objects that contained Extraordinary power. When they attacked all at once, even when Ji Ye was in his own territory, he didn’t dare to face the attacks head-on like what he did with the Dragon Aura clone.
Boom! Boom!
When the attacks landed on the sea, raising giant waves, Ji Ye had already disappeared with a flash of light.
“The Twin Dragon Island is a forbidden land created by the Utmost Dragon Emperor, and anyone who dares to offend it will be punished in the most severe manner. Their souls will be torn into pieces and stay at the bottom of an abyss for eternity!”
However, although he was already out of sight, in the mood for some pranks, he still sent those words to the ears of Fang La’s army.
