"Tch! Stubborn old man." Xing Xiaoi couldn't help but click her tongue and curse the old sect master as he managed to avoid a fatal strike in an instant. His instincts and battle senses were tuned to the highest stage, and they were terrifying even from the point of view of Wei Jun.
'He's just like the military generals.' Wei Jun thought. Even as he was now, almost at the peak of the grandmaster realm, he still wasn't confident taking on General Shao and General Ming separately, let alone both of them at once.
The old man was the sa. Even catching him off guard didn't work as he sohow managed to activate his defense at the last second and avoid a fatal strike.
'Well, it wasn't totally useless.' Wei Jun thought as he looked at the bleeding arm of the old man. To a swordsman, even if it wasn't their prominent arm that was damaged, the imbalance caused by an injury to the other arm can be a great disadvantage for such a person as well.
The old man raised his head to look in the direction from which that last attack had co. There, far, far away on a hill, he could spot another woman who had a freezing look in her deep blue eyes as her Qi cald down to a great extent. Her Qi that enshrouded her caused her surroundings to fluctuate.
However, no matter how cold and ravaging her Qi was, from that distance, it was impossible for the old man to sense the Qi, hence the presence of the blue eyed woman, when there were two more strong Qi presences in his imdiate vicinity.
"Kugh!" The old man was well aware of the disadvantage he was put in. Even the blue-eyed woman would be a formidable opponent, making their number a whopping three. This wasn't a battle he would be able to win. Running away was the only option.
"I thought of that, too." Wei Jun spoke in his usual cold tone as if he could read what was going through the old man's mind.
Wei Jun raised his hand and waved it. In the distance, on both ends, a man and a woman raised their hands and began to chant. At a single glance, the woman held more power as her green eyes shimred with the gentle blue ethereal power she wielded. The sa could be said for the man, but on a lower level. However, their level didn't an anything as long as there were two of them and an appropriate supply of a mana source, which was provided in the form of mana crystals.
As soon as they finished their chanting, the old man had an ominous premonition and imdiately ran. Xing Xiaoi ran after him, but Wei Jun waved his hand, signaling her to stop.
Xing Xiaoi stopped while the old sect master kept running. The old sect master kept running until he reached the edge of the circle but before he could, the circle began to rise until a blue colored shield appeared around the circle and began to rise up in the sky before a do covered the surroundings, trapping the old man along with Wei Jun and Xing Xiaoi inside.
Wei Jun knew that would put him at a disadvantage since if nothing could go out the do, nothing could enter as well so the support from Yan Rong, Natasha, and Mark Wilson was cut off.
Still, the old man was injured, so that was a plus point, and Wei Jun was confident he would be able to face the old man by himself, win even, and with the added factor of Xing Xiaoi who was growing stronger by each passing day, he was sure there would be only one outco of this battle.
Not wanting to prolong this useless farce any longer, Wei Jun took the first step forward and collided with the old man, who stopped at the edge of the shield. The old man successfully, and without much effort, managed to stop Wei Jun's attack.
Wei Jun pushed forward, but the old man didn't seem to be budging.
[Qi empowernt]
[Qi armant]
Wei Jun pushed even further, and finally, the old man began to show signs of strain on his face. Wei Jun's power suddenly increased and overtook the old man by surprise. However, even if the old man was surprised, he was not overwheld much.
"Don't forget about !"
Clang!!!
A shockwave shook the area, pushing all three parties away from the source of the collision. The old man had used a movent technique and a sword movent to counter the violent attack of Xing Xiaoi, who felt really hurt about being left out.
Wei Jun was even more surprised as he couldn't help but marvel at the attack power of the sword movents, both of Xing Xiaoi and the old man's. Still, Wei Jun couldn't make sense of those flashing movents.
To him, the best attack was a silent one. A pair of daggers appeared in his hands, and Wei Jun disappeared from his spot once again, his footsteps bearing no sound and his presence undetectable. Still, "Will of the roaring dragon!"
Boom!!!
Just as Wei Jun arrived behind the old man, he was violently pushed back. Not only that...
"Kugh!"
[HP -156]
Wei Jun received significant physical damage from that shockwave. Wei Jun couldn't help but be taken aback. For the first ti, he felt like he was fighting a proper martial artist who had many techniques at his disposal.
Wei Jun didn't have the ti to worry about it because the old man wasn't one to miss that chance. He arrived before Wei Jun in an instant, his sword brandished to deal a critical strike to Wei Jun as the edges of the sword shimred in a golden light.
"Violent plum storm!"
The edges of the golden sword, pinpoint attacks that were as soft as petals but violent like a storm, landed on the sword and pushed the sword away while nullifying the strike.
[Class 'Immortal']
[The user has been fully healed]
Wei Jun imdiately struck back with his twin daggers as soon as the death Qi and his immortal class healed him. But the old man wasn't going down without a fight. As the death Qi-laced daggers arrived close to the old man, the old man suddenly changed his movents mid-air using Qi, and turned around to parry the strikes with his sword.
However, it was more than just a parry. As the sword collided with the lower-level daggers, one of the daggers shattered upon contact while the other one sustained cracks from the middle, on the verge of breaking as well.
The old man quickly reached out with his injured arm and grabbed the floating dagger's remains in the air, applied Qi to them, and shot them at the woman in the distance while he swung his sword at Wei Jun again.
Wei Jun applied death Qi to both of his fists, knowing his dagger was out of the league of this battle, but still used it to et the old man's sword to lessen the attack intensity.
Xing Xiaoi, on the other hand, deployed a defensive sword technique and danced like a ballerina, deflecting all shrapnels, avoiding the attack, but it bought enough ti for the old man to exchange tens of attacks with Wei Jun.
Wei Jun managed to stop the sword strikes by evading and deflection. The strange thing about the old man's attacks was that they could ignore Wei Jun's Qi defenses and damage Wei Jun from the inside. However, Wei Jun was not like other cultivators. While other cultivators raised their power and physical strength using Qi, Wei Jun didn't gain much of an advantage through empowernt.
However, physically, from the inside and the outside, Wei Jun was as strong as the other cultivators, giving him a permanent advantage that the other cultivators didn't have.
While he did receive damage, it wasn't to the point of killing him, and the death Qi and his class were doing a good job together to keep him stable.
But one thing that bumd Wei Jun more than anything was the fact that although the old man and Wei Jun were almost equal in strength, Wei Jun was kind of on the losing side. His earlier confidence of winning was slowly waning as the old man began to show technique after technique that did unexpected damage.
But...
'It's fu*king exciting.' Wei Jun said as he stepped to the side and then moved to the other side, hitting the old man, and finally landing an attack on the old man.
The old man, beyond shocked, couldn't help but look at Wei Jun in utter shock. However, what Wei Jun had done was beyond shocking. It was utterly impossible.
"You... How did you?" The old man couldn't help but ask.
"Next ti, why don't you do it a little slower?" Wei Jun asked with a smirk before he dived in and...
"Will of the roaring dragon!"
