Chapter 1769 - Same Trick (1) (2/2)

Nine snorted watching as the beams of the [Qi Line] technique approached from her front and back. Though she was shocked to realize that the cold qi affected her even after she undid her own seals, that hardly mattered now. In the face of absolute power, schemes meant nothing!

”I'll crush these petty tricks!” Nine roared.

Her claws swept forward, a pride that could match dragons in her eyes.

However, what she didn't know was that after the initial shock, Dyon regained his bearings and his eyes lit ablaze with fighting intent. He felt his heart pounding. He didn't understand what it was, but it felt like he was… excited?

'I thought you all said you wouldn't fall for the same trick twice? Fifteen was never my target…' Dyon's shock morphed into a smirk. '[Retrace]!'

From the very begin, Dyon's target had never been Fifteen, or Nine, now. He had been targeting the only Heaven grade beast remaining, Thirteen!

First, he sent out a shock of blue lightning, forcing Ten to bring out his trump cards. However, what Ten didn't realize since he couldn't stretch out his senses was that the lightning shot this time around was completely different. Instead of sending out the Kings, Ryu sent out the subordinates of the King jellyfish!

Ten was prepared to be paralyzed for a moment, as such, he planned to withstand the blow of the fourth immortal puppet Dyon sent after him. As a result, he made no efforts to dodge and was easily sent out of the encirclement, thus exposing Fifteen, now Nine.

This forced Eleven into action, just as Dyon had planned. She was supposedly the second strongest of the group, so the moment the puppets battling her dropped from three to two, she was able to break away to attempt to block Dyon's arrow and the sentinel's qi line. However, she had no idea that [Qi Line] was a pincer technique! This worked out in Dyon's favor because it exposed Nine's secret!

Now, Eleven was in no position to save Thirteen, and Nine was still in the process of dealing with [Qi Line]. In that instant, Dyon activated [Retrace].

[Retrace] could only be used once every ten minutes, however, the two sentinels didn't share the same timer. When Dyon sent a sentinel after Ten to blast him into the ocean bed, he purposely only sent one, leaving one [Retrace] still available for use!
