C435 Battle of Wits and Courage
C435 Battle of Wits and Courage
His figure was as fast as a stream of light, and he was chasing in the direction of the downstream of Lijiang River.
"Jiang Ling is seriously injured. There must be blood left behind!"
Ye Xinghe closed his eyes and searched the Lijiang River with his divine sense, trying to find some clues in the water.
He had spent a lot of effort to find a strange fluctuation from two thousand miles away. He was still running away.
"Still giving himself away!" Ye Xinghe's lips curled up. His body flashed and he arrived here in a short time.
His eyes were like lightning. Through the water that was dozens of meters deep, he saw a carp at the bottom of the river.
On its body was Jiang Ling's aura.
"Hehe, as expected of Jiang Ling!"
Ye Xinghe wasn't too disappointed. Instead, he revealed a joyful expression.
He stretched out his hand and beckoned to the carp below. The carp then floated up.
He then stretched out his index finger and pointed at the carp. A drop of dark red blood floated out from the carp.
Ye Xinghe used his divine sense to investigate carefully. It was Jiang Ling's aura.
There were still sparks of lightning lingering on the blood.
"Buzz!"
The blood suddenly burst out with a burst of intense lightning and exploded, covering Ye Xinghe within. The void rippled and the power was astonishing!
When the lightning radiance dispersed, Ye Xinghe stood there unharmed.
"Use the blood to confuse the enemy, use the lightning to stimulate the carp to move continuously, and also set up traps to attack me."
"Even when he was heavily injured, he still has such a scheming mind. Truly amazing!"
While Ye Xinghe was lamenting, his figure flashed continuously, and he headed towards a branch on the left.
On this side, there was also Jiang Ling's Qi.
When he arrived.
He found out that the aura was coming from a bastard who was lying on the shore and basking in the sun.
The turtle had a lazy look on its face, as if it was mocking Ye Xinghe.
After killing the turtle, Ye Xinghe used his Divine Sense to investigate.
He found that there were more than a dozen waves in the surroundings, and each wave carried Jiang Ling's Qi.
Ye Xinghe felt a little irritated in his heart. He knew that most of these were fake.
However, he had to check it out. If one of them was real, the other party would escape!
When he finished checking the suspected targets again, he found that there were thousands of them in the vicinity!
The blood actually split!
The blood contained a powerful energy, which was a great supplement for fishes and prawns. Naturally, they would fight to eat it.
With this, it was easier said than done for Ye Xinghe to rely on his divine sense to find out which one was real and which one was fake.
"Extinguish!"
He pressed his palm down on the fish and prawns below who were fighting over the blood.
Instantly, an incomparably huge palm print flipped the entire surface of the river. Blood-colored spiritual energy wreaked havoc, and all the living creatures in the water died!
Ye Xinghe's face was somewhat gloomy.
He clearly knew that this was a trap, but he had no choice but to investigate each and every one of them.
The feeling of being led by the nose really made Ye Xinghe feel aggrieved!
"However, your blood also exposed the condition of being seriously injured!"
"No matter what, a small trick can't make up for the difference in strength!" Ye Xinghe's nose opened and closed, and his gaze was like a torch as he turned around and flashed towards the distance.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty days had passed.
"Rumble!!"
A huge explosion suddenly occurred on the right side of the mountain. Huge rocks shot out like meteors. Violent fire-type spirit energy surged, impacting Ye Xinghe's internal organs and making him feel a faint pain.
He hurriedly stepped on the flying rocks and shot towards the canyon on the left side.
However, as soon as he entered, the walls on both sides of the mountain lit up, and a metallic luster appeared.
Then, the two mountains suddenly closed up!
Ye Xinghe, who was stuck in the middle, was like an egg under a wheel, about to shatter!
"Break!" Ye Xinghe seemed to have predicted this change, and did not panic at all.
He pulled out the blood blade backhanded and swept it from left to right. A three hundred meter long blade aura swept out in all directions. The power was shocking!
Along with a huge explosion, the mountain collapsed and a human figure soared into the sky!
At this moment!
"Three rays of white light shot towards Ye Xinghe from the sky.
Even though his reaction was fast and his spirit energy whistled out, turning into two thick barriers, it was still pierced through and shot onto Ye Xinghe's body.
His entire body trembled, and millions of complicated voices emerged in his mind, continuously talking about something.
At the same time, a ripple appeared in the void. In the dense forest below... Green Second-Wood Spiritual Energy rushed straight up; the shattered mountains and metals flashed, and golden Innate Gold Energy rushed out; the Earth Element Qi on the ground boiled endlessly!
These auras kept changing, and turned into thousands of ancient runes, which tightly wrapped around Ye Xinghe!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!" With the appearance of these runes, a fierce wind suddenly blew in the sky, and countless dark clouds covered the sky.
The Second Wood, Earth Element, and Gold Element Qi that covered Ye Xinghe's body suddenly lit up. It actually formed a vortex, like a bottomless pit. All the surrounding spiritual energy was sucked over, and the terrifying aura kept rising!
"Crack! Boom!" From the thick dark clouds in the sky, a flame that was dozens of meters thick shot out. It was like a flaming snake that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It rushed down from the sky, aiming at Ye Xinghe who was below!
"Rumble!" When the fire snake collided with the vortex that swallowed the spiritual energy, a scarlet light flashed.
Immediately, a dazzling silver light suddenly bloomed. The lightning that had condensed into a solid form swept across the sky along with the shock wave!
The mountain range at the center of the explosion was instantly crushed by the violent spiritual energy, melting under the high temperature.
Finally, a deafening sound was heard. Even the cultivators thousands of miles away had pale faces and their ears were bleeding from the shock!
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what had happened.
...
"Whoosh!!"
At the center of the explosion, a ray of red light suddenly lit up. The raging spiritual energy, the raging flames, the roaring thunder, and so on suddenly converged towards the center.
These violent energies kept shrinking, collapsing, gathering, and finally transforming into a sphere that emitted a terrifying aura!
And then!
It was firmly grasped in the palm of a hand!
Ye Xinghe lowered his head and looked at the energy ball in his hand. He rubbed his chin and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"The trap at the front has caused me damage. The power of incense at the back has directly attacked the weakness of the soul. The hidden three energies at the front have turned into a runic seal, and then the fire snake has been ignited. Power! Heaven and earth shaking! Even a cultivator in the intermediate stage of the Sage Realm died under this attack!"
"My reaction and weakness are all within this attack."
"One ring, one ring, one ring, all linked together. It can be said to be perfect!"
"It's a pity..."
Ye Xinghe suddenly turned around and threw the energy ball in his hand towards a short peak behind him.
The destructive power contained in this energy ball was astonishing. No one could easily receive it!
"Weng!"
As soon as the energy ball left Ye Xinghe's hand, a figure suddenly shot out from the short peak. Like a nimble fish, the figure shuttled back and forth in the canyon, and in the blink of an eye, it had escaped dozens of miles away.
Its speed was as fast as a thunderbolt.
Ye Xinghe didn't chase after it, because he knew that Jiang Ling had already set up all kinds of traps before he escaped.
It was just like the hundreds of times they had chased after him.
"No, Jiang Ling's method has already been repeated. There should be no other way!" Ye Xinghe looked in the direction where Jiang Ling had fled and was deep in thought.
Over the past month, he had fought Jiang Ling hundreds of times.
Ye Xinghe still remembered the first time he had searched countless rivers and rivers, eliminated tens of thousands of suspected targets, and found Jiang Ling's aura in a cave in a river.
When he was furious and rushed in with killing intent, he saw a Class 7 giant bear with its tail cut off. It was also an extremely furious Class 7 spirit beast, the Wind Breaking Star Tyrant Bear.
He did not know what method Jiang Ling had used to cut off its tail, nor did he know how he had hidden the aura of this rank 7 spirit beast.
Ye Xinghe bumped into this furious spirit beast and could only fight it.
Because this spirit beast's entire body was full of treasures, even if he couldn't find Jiang Ling, finding this spirit beast was still a profit.
A world-shaking battle broke out between the two. Ye Xinghe relied on his powerful strength to kill the spirit beast with some effort.
However, before he could collect the spoils of war, the entire valley exploded. The underground magma carried violent spirit energy as it enveloped him.
When the furious Ye Xinghe got rid of the magma, he chased after the place where the spirit energy fluctuations occurred. There were dozens of Heavenly Astral Spirit Sword talismans waiting for him there. Caught off guard, he was hit by several spirit swords.
After that, Ye Xinghe learned from his mistakes and no longer easily fell for it.
In the following period of time.
Ye Xinghe had seen too many unprecedented schemes and techniques that he had never seen before.
What did he mean by using ordinary mosquitoes and flies to carry venom and poison his food without making a sound?
Combined with the momentum of the mountains and rivers, it formed a killing formation, allowing him to unknowingly step into the formation and face the violent attacks from all kinds of magic tools.
If he wasn't careful, he would die in this dangerous formation.
Moreover, Ye Xinghe discovered that Jiang Ling's attainments in talisman and restrictive spells were extraordinary. He could simply use some terrain and some Spirit Stone to create some powerful five elemental spiritual energy attacks.
Ye Xinghe was amazed and clapped his hands!
"But, how long can you last?" Ye Xinghe bent down and searched the original canyon. He found many ways to set up the defense mechanisms.
He stopped and reached out his hand to touch and copy the defense mechanisms.
He was actually carefully observing and learning!
"The restriction this time is somewhat similar to the Heavenly Fire Formation for more than ten days..."
In the past, the means that Jiang Ling used were all different and hard to grasp.
Every time, it would cause trouble for Ye Xinghe.
If he didn't cultivate a powerful devil art and had the support of the Absolute Beginning Jade Wall as his soul, he wouldn't be afraid of these threats.
If it was a peak Saint Stage expert, he would have died a long time ago under these hundreds of methods!
However, five days ago, the same method as the previous one had begun to appear.
"This is already at the end of his rope?"
Ye Xinghe smiled.
He had been hunting Jiang Ling for the past few days, but he had seen countless methods. He had even left some wounds on his body.
However, Ye Xinghe was also improving!
He quickly learned and improved from the marks left behind by Jiang Ling.
His current Alchemy Dao, talismans, array formations, the control of the five elements' spirit energy, and so on all seemed to have been reborn anew, advancing several steps forward. Step by step!
Regarding Jiang Ling's methods, Ye Xinghe was already able to figure it out clearly!
Because of this, Ye Xinghe's strength had increased by two realms from the Mid Saint Stage to the peak of the Saint Stage!
On the contrary, Jiang Ling's strength had dropped from the Mid Dragon Becoming Stage to the Early Dragon Realm during his relentless pursuit.
Ye Xinghe held a lot of respect for Jiang Ling. He didn't relax at all as he chased after Jiang Ling with ten thousand points of killing intent.
"Hahaha, what a pleasant feeling!" Ye Xinghe waved his sleeve and stood up.
"Our grudge will soon come to an end, right?
"We won't rest until we die!"
Ye Xinghe's tone sounded like he was talking to an old friend.
His figure faded and disappeared from where he stood.
...
In a dense forest.
Jiang Ling took a few deep breaths and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Then he carefully condensed the sweat into ice particles and buried them deep underground.
The last time was because the sweat evaporated. Ye Xinghe discovered that he was almost cut in half by a saber light. He would not be so careless after that.
Currently, Jiang Ling's appearance could be said to be somewhat miserable. His eyes were completely bloodshot, his cheeks were sunken, his beard was unkempt, and his entire body was in ragged clothes. There were many holes on his clothes, and he was also covered in dried blood.
The meridians in his body were broken and repaired, and they were broken again and again. He was riddled with holes.
Jiang Ling stretched out his hand and fished out two small jade bottles from his chest. He carefully took out two small jade bottles.
He poured out a pill from inside. He cut half with his fingernail and put half of the pill back into the jade bottle.
"These are the last two bottles of pill..." Jiang Ling sighed and swallowed the pill.
He did not have the time to feel sad about the spring and autumn. He estimated that the suspicious formation would be destroyed by Ye Xinghe very soon. It would be dangerous if he stayed where he was.
Jiang Ling stood up and searched the place while he was at it. He found some useful herbs and left quickly. He was very familiar with everything.
He had done this many times in the past few days.
The other party was much more terrifying. He was powerful and had a very good understanding of his character. He was usually able to guess his thoughts.
For example, the trap just now. Ye Xinghe had not fallen into the trap at all. Instead, he had walked into the trap on his own accord and used it to understand his situation.
He was like a cold hunter. He patiently and slowly tightened the net!
And Jiang Ling already had a feeling that he could not breathe.
