Chapter 404 - Another Crystal Ball (1/2)

The elder was horrified. Honestly, he was formidable and could not be compared by the Humans of this world.

Even if Wu Yuanwei—the imperial family’s strongest powerhouse—had come, the elder could contend with him too. Although the elder consumed essential Qi to form the interspatial s.h.i.+elds, he could not have been depleted of the Qi so easily. Besides, if his essential Qi was truly exhausted, how could Ou Yangming have the vigor to release skills from pieces of equipment without an end?

It was true that much lesser essential Qi would be consumed for the release of skills from pieces of equipment, hence Ou Yangming saved a lot of his Qi. Nonetheless, the essential Qi difference between the elder and the young fellow was way bigger than the amount saved by the latter.

All of a sudden, the elder’s eyes lit up as he was struck by a thought. He finally noticed Ou Yangming’s trick, so he yelled fiercely, “You’re using Master’s power!”

Ou Yangming scoffed. When he previously used his military saber to devour energies from the Earthly Dragon Beast’s flesh and blood, he tried to hide it so the energy fluctuation was not that intense. Since the young fellow’s trick was now exposed, he no longer had to do it discreetly.

The piece of meat stabbed by his saber shrunk in an instant, allowing Ou Yangming to fully recover his essential Qi. As a result, his energy, essence, and spirit were at their peaks again. Following that, a flash was seen coming from the saber as Ou Yangming slashed it at the elder without any hesitation. “Wait, I have something to say!” The elder’s face changed, and he shrieked.

“Okay, go ahead,” Ou Yangming uttered. He stopped attacking with his military saber, but just as the elder sighed a breath of relief as he thought the young fellow would back away, the saber-light flashed again. Ou Yangming swung his saber faster than before.

The elder widened his eyes so much so that his eyeb.a.l.l.s were going to drop out. He roared and crouched, then he flew backward to dodge the attack.

‘This human is extremely shameless. I can’t believe he’s more cunning than I am!’

When the elder thought he had evaded the saber, it somehow glowed in green light and caught up to him at an unbelievable speed.

The change happened without warning, causing the elder to be caught off guard, by which he could not even use his interspatial s.h.i.+elds in time. A sinister look was seen in his eyes as he lifted a hand to block the wind blade.

“Pow…”

The wind blade slit the elder’s wrist mercilessly, leaving a b.l.o.o.d.y wound on him. It was so powerful that his hand was almost cut off from his body.

Nevertheless, the elder was unyielding. Without groaning at all, he attempted to flee the small alley as though he was wearing roller skates.

Ou Yangming was well-prepared. Once he shouted, every part of his body shone as he simulated various skills at the same time and aimed them at the elder.

Pieces of equipment with skills were unusually precious items. In particular, before Ou Yangming appeared in this world, it was incredibly difficult to obtain one of those in this world. If that was not the case, based on the imperial family’s foundation and abilities, Wu Hanning would not have asked for her weapon to be enhanced in a specific way.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming did not cherish these pieces of equipment at all because he could smith them at any time if he wanted to. Therefore, when he went all out, the power released was so unbelievable that the elder’s paths were completely blocked.

Even so, this was only because Ou Yangming had limited pieces of equipment with him and could only selectively release the skills he had. If he retrieved every piece of equipment in his interspatial back, the outcome would be appalling

Despite that, the elder kept swaying his body. His eyes were dark and hollow as if he could perceive every subtle change, such that could always dodge the attacks at crucial moments. The states of the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous, were vividly displayed by him.

Having said that, Ou Yangming was patient. He knew very well how fearsome his opponent was, thus he never hoped to succeed in one move. The young fellow took the opportunity when his opponent was lacking essential Qi by making an all-round attack. He did this to set up a huge trap as he wanted to prevent the elder from escaping.

Only then would he use his ultimate trump card.

Ou Yangming roared and let his 99 points of mental power burst out like an erupting volcano.

The environment around them underwent a slight change as the Simulated Spiritual Fist was unleashed to an extreme at that moment.

Consequently, the elder trembled, and he lost sight of Ou Yangming. Instead, he noticed three Earthly Dragon Beasts taking earth-shattering steps toward him.

It was such an enormous threat that even the elder could not withstand the suppression.

Given a certain gap between sizes, it could not be compensated by ordinary cultivation bases anymore.

The elder furrowed his eyebrows. He was also a powerhouse that used the Illusion Art, thus he knew he had fallen into his opponent’s illusion. The elder sneered, then his eyes gleamed as he released great mental power as well.

With that, two similarly formidable mental powers clashed straightforwardly without being a.s.sisted by any techniques.

At the spur of the moment, the world through the elder’s eyes shook. Numerous dense cracks akin to spiderwebs appeared out of thin air.

The spiritual world created by Ou Yangming was smashed as it could not remain perfect under the impact.

Even so, the elder was not delighted at all; he was taken aback. ‘I exerted all my mental power to attack, but I couldn’t break his spiritual illusion?
