Chapter 109 - 106 : Desperate Situation (2/2)

Arthur didn't waste time as he used basic lightning to kill them, their size became very large due to biting too much of the Spirit Boat but the good thing was that he managed to kill them all.

Unfortunately, by the time he breathed a sigh of relief, Jizung was already a dozen of meters away from the Spirit Boat, the huge black Cobra was still hovering behind him and hissing at Arthur while emitting the same green fog the small snakes did.

Arthur knew that Jizung needed only one attack to destroy the Spirit Boat and once the others arrive, there would be no hope of escaping, much less taking Lissandra with them. He turned toward Lucy and softly said

”You know how to control the Spirit Boat, use the gems in this chest and wait at the place we agreed upon.”

Arthur didn't wait for her to reply, a storage ring was thrown toward her.

Lucy didn't try to convince him, she just gripped the storage ring and dropped her head down while clenching her fists. She was depressed as she couldn't aid him and could only escape. She wasn't idiot enough to blindly stay there and hinder him so she just sat there silently without saying a word or moving.

As for Arthur, he jumped off the boat and faced Jizung, who was coming straight at him. Makaze was already at hand and in just a second the sky darkened as White Thunder was going to strike and hundreds of dark spears were aimed at the old man.

He didn't even pause for a second as he rushed at the black robbed Jizung and slashed down with Makaze, [Dark Burst] and [Void Magic] were used in that slash as to maximize the damage and slow down the old man for even a second.

The slash was indeed strong, too strong, it would have hurt Meyzu or even Jizung if he didn't use those strange seals on the black Cobra. But there were no if's in this world, the reality was cruel and life is always unfair.

Makaze couldn't descend further as it was blocked by Jizung's black sleeve. It was unusual for Makaze to not be able to cut through something, especially a simple sleeve, but that only showed how strong the old man was compared to Arthur.

Arthur's wasn't fazed by this block, a purple Void sword was conjured in a split second, Arthur used his left hand, which was holding this purple sword to stab at Jizung's Dantian.

To no avail, this stab was yet again blocked by the other sleeve of Jizung, moreover, the green fog emanated from the black Cobra reached the purple sword and made it shatter into countless little fragments.

Not only that, several notifications popped up indicating that Arthur's Health is rapidly decreasing. The poison was too strong and it drained his life second by second.

”Quite ruthless huh? Aiming at my Dantian without hesitation.”

Only enemies who would despise each other to the bones would aim for the Dantian and cripple the opponent, Arthur's second strike clearly indicated how indifferent and cold he was toward his enemies.

He and Jizung could not be considered archenemies yet he struck at the old man's Dantian, that in itself showed what kind of person he was. Nonetheless, whether he struck his Dantian, heart or brain, Jizung didn't pay it any heed as it won't change his opinion on Arthur, in fact, it just worsened by a huge margin.

He was a cultivator first and a clan master second, there were unspoken rules in high-Realms and not striking the Dantian is one of them. If the Meridians are hurt or broken, they could still be healed even if it's near impossible but if the Dantian is destroyed then it's practically impossible to recover. You would become a mere mortal with a very weak and fragile body, you could even say that a simple gust of wind could kill you and that's not even an exaggeration.

The Dantian is created when one reaches the Immortal Realm, but before tha,t it also existed in another form, it was only in a dormant state. The Immortal Realm could be considered its awakening. Simply destroying it would make the body exposed to any sickness no matter how trivial it is, a punch would deal more damage to that fragile body and even a simple cold can end its life.

For someone like Jizung, Arthur's actions were obvious. An invisible and forceful pressure pressed on Arthur and sent him flying until he crushed on the ground, blood came out from several bloody holes in his chest and shoulders. He looked very pathetic and haggard.

Jizung's first goal was to retrieve Lissandra, so with a final glance to Arthur, he turned around and chased the Spirit Boat.

”Oh no you won't!”

Arthur roared as white Thunder struck down from above, several thick white bolts shot toward the black Cobra. Whether it's a an evil spirit or a manifestation, he guessed that Thunder would hurt it and it actually did!

Although the damage was minimal to the huge black Cobra, it still roared painfully and stared with dagger eyes and anger at Arthur. Jizung was forcefully stopped as he sensed that the black Cobra was enraged.

The white Thunder didn't stop as it kept striking the Cobra, moreover, Arthur threw the grey lantern toward the beast, creating even more explosive Thunder.

The whole area was covered in countless white lines which created deafening explosions, the black Cobra writhed and roared. Channelling the white Thunder was too consuming for Arthur yet he didn't stop, he noticed that some blood leaked out of Jizung's lips and his complexions whitened a bit.

Finally, the black Cobra couldn't take it, an enormous green seal appeared above it and acted like an impenetrable barrier that blocked all the lightning. Following that, Jizung accompanied by the Cobra appeared in front of Arthur and striked.

A green fog entered his body and a fast hand struck his abdomen, it penetrated his skin and bones and made blood gush out endlessly.

Arthur maintained an expressionless face, he couldn't feel pain but he saw his Health decreasing so without hesitation, he created a miniature Heavenly Arrow. It was the size of a normal arrow and was made from Ancient Flames and Void Magic. The pressure was not something to laugh at and it conjured just in front of Jizung, who was freaked out from the arrow.

He retreacted his hand and backed away, only until he was a hundred meters away from the arrow did he relax. No matter if it's small or not, its terrifying might earlier was imprinted on his mind, he can't be careless around it.

Seeing that, Arthur smirked and waved his hand, sending the arrow at Jizung.

Far away, 4 beams could be seen coming their way with the one leading being Aborak.
