Chapter 367: Fighting

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

“I’ve obtained my reputation through strength.” Under the silver mask, Elder You Ping’s eyes glittered with a trace of madness. “It’s easy to tell that you’ve likely learned some kind of survival-focused World Deity grade secret technique in Crimson Rock Mountain. Alas, your survivability might be high, but that does not mean your combat power is just as great. How about I show you, a tiny genius Transcendent from a mortal world, just how vast the world is and how numerous the strong are!”

With the last of those words, an incorporeal power descended, enveloping Xue Ying from every direction.

Inside this vast domain, Elder You Ping was the nucleus. He was the ruler.

“A Deity Domain?” Xue Ying instantly recognized it. “You Ping, this Level 12 Star Pagoda’s rays of light illuminate every corner of the world it creates. Your Deity Domain is useless.

“Is it?” You Ping coldly smiled.

Weng weng weng~~~

Countless ripples appeared inside the domain’s area of effect. Ripple upon ripple spread outward in every direction from You Ping’s location. They covered almost every point between the heaven and the earth. The Star Pagoda world was spread over an area of ten thousand kilometers, but the ripples actually covered it all. Many of them converged onto Xue Ying’s body, at a first glance seemingly tangling and binding him without stop.

You Ping’s body released countless of these ripples, and they all converged on Xue Ying’s body.

They were the two points of focus of all the countless ripples in that area of ten thousand kilometers.

“En?” Xue Ying’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Of course, he always had the option of hiding inside the Mirage. With his Mirage Secret Skill, Condensing Reality, there was nothing that could stop him from disappearing without trace and leaving his his enemy unable to follow him.

But this was his first life-or-death battle after many years of cultivating inside the Crimson Dust Island.

After defeating You Ping, he feared the Sorcerer God and Great Demonic God would launch an even more frenzied counterattack. So Xue Ying felt that he had to use this battle as an opportunity to truly temper his suite of spear techniques. If it could serve as the catalyst for breaking through to the Deity Heart stage, that would be even more splendid.

“How is it? Can you feel the restrictions: your movement being greatly obstructed and your speed slowed to a crawl?” You Ping’s left hand extended, and a knife appeared out of nowhere. It had a simple black scabbard, but the sword handle itself was of a deep red. “Back when I was still a Transcendent, I encountered many enemies in the Deity world whom I’ve fought time and time again. Among them, there were even some so-called ‘genius Transcendents.’ Not one of them could take a single cut of my dagger. I’d like to see how many cuts you will be able to last for.”

“Have none of those opponents ever told you that you talk too much nonsense?” Xue Ying was just standing in mid-air, holding onto the Blood-Drinking Spear.

“I speak too much?” He began saying, when…

Hua.

In what seemed like an instant, Elder You Ping’s entire body, alongside an incorporeal ripple, disappeared without trace. His speed was terrifyingly fast. Only with the aid of the Star Pagoda could Xue Ying confirm his trajectory.

“Too fast.” Xue Ying was speechless.

Elder You Ping suddenly appeared a hundred meters to Xue Ying’s left. His left hand held onto the scabbard, while his right hand suddenly flashed.

Shua!

Like the sun’s rays passing through the surface of the water, the first sword light burst forth.

The sword light was so fast that it left behind a ray of light in mid-air!

Dang! Xue Ying moved his spear to block the attack essentially through sheer instinct. He was already displaying one of the spear secret skills he had comprehended—Great Earth.

As the name implied, this skill was a defensive spear technique. It sought to replicate how the earth was unified into a whole so as to make his opponent unable to break through.

The knife’s edge stopped just as it collided with the front end of Xue Ying’s spear shaft.

The two Deity treasures clashed, spraying invisible ripples in every direction.

Shua.

The knife was immediately withdrawn.

The faraway You Ping had already faded away, leaving behind only a clear scar of sword light in the air.

That was too abrupt and quick. Xue Ying was finally serious. Previously, the attacks the Battleship B9 could employ were restricted to the arrays set up beforehand. Attack or retreat— that was about it. Real powerhouses instead comprehended the Laws of the heaven and the earth and grasped a great deal of Profound Mysteries. The attacks they could launch were many and varied. That was why true powers ultimately relied on themselves in battle.

“You’ve actually blocked it. That technique’s defensive ability is quite strong; I’d quite like to see how many more of my attacks you can deflect.” You Ping’s voice reverberated throughout the ripple domain.

Shua shua shua.

You Ping suddenly appeared to Xue Ying’s right and instantly released a ray of light.

He then appeared behind him with another ray of light.

His figure flickered again and again.

Again and again, his sword shone.
