843 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff 25 (1/2)
As it was, his cultivation base was formidable, but the torment he had to go through all at once was equally terrifying.
Mr. Nian had hoped to verbally provoke Yun Yang into counterattacking him wildly to end the battle as soon as possible, in addition to venting his repressed anguish, but the latter had no plan to be goaded into a fight.
Every style and form of Mr. Nian was dealt out with full force, but each technique missed its target, lashing out in futility.
Under Mr. Nian's extraordinary attacks, dust and grain flew off Tianxuan Cliff. Gravel took flight while the surrounding trees were uprooted, hovering in the air.
However, Yun Yang was like a slippery eel. Evasive and lithe, his movements were like the very air itself. No matter what attack came his way, he refused to parry them with another attack of his own!
Mr. Nian was enraged. He roared and waded in, but it was in vain.
There was only regret brimming within him now.
Supreme Cloud's elusive skill was known to be able to avoid any attack in this world – it really did seem rather unfitting for him to do what he did; it was not even reaping an insignificant outcome. In fact, it was practically useless…
Mr. Nian familiarized himself with the rhythm he was in as the battle went on. He got used to the flow of God's Bones power within him as he slowly searched for a pattern. As he did so, he racked his mind for a countermeasure, a tailored strategy against Yun Yang.
Yun Yang was avoiding his attacks without fighting back anyway. He was not really a threat to Mr. Nian. While it was difficult to lock down onto Yun Yang, Yun Yang was similarly powerless against Mr. Nian.
When Mr. Nian thought about it this way, the weight upon him lessened a little. He even felt somewhat fortunate.
If Yun Yang continued to avoid his assault without countering, he would be at a loss. Waiting for Mr. Nian to crumble from the retaliation of the God's Bones was a joke. If they fought on, it would only allow Mr. Nian familiarity with the divine power. Once he could discover the cooperative pattern of God's Bones and an effective method to match his flesh and blood to them, Mr. Nian's capability could escalate further from how it was now to an unimaginable height.
By that time, a regretful death was the only end for Supreme Cloud under Mr. Nian's ferocious attacks, no matter how evasive he was.
Furthermore, as Mr. Nian's physical self slowly bonded with God's Bones, it was probable that he would not suffer as much as he did now!
This battle, this awful state, would instead be Mr. Nian's opportunity – a turning point!
As he thought about it, Mr. Nian was actually elated. The numbness, the itching, the pain, the soreness, the prickling torment, the saber hacks, and sword slashes… The affliction upon him actually felt much more alleviated.
As long as he persevered, not only was victory his, a more glorious life was awaiting him!
Mr. Nian's attacks were as powerful as ever, a wild storm and thunder, striking out consistently.
Ji Lingxi, as well, could see that Mr. Nian was obviously experimenting – perhaps, adapting to something. Like a powerfully-built person who was adjusting to an intricately forged and incredibly hefty weapon, his combat strength was mediocre during the beginning phases of use, but once he succeeded in familiarization, the resulting future would be unimaginably terrifying.
”Yun Yang, counter him!”
Ji Lingxi could not help crying out, ”You can't let him go on adapting!”
”This is the last battle. How can I not let Mr. Nian enjoy to his heart's content?” Yun Yang replied with a grin.
Ji Lingxi was speechless.
'Your mystical Qi cultivation base is evidently so much worse than his! You're only barely dealing with him, even with your remarkable skill. This much is clear. If his cultivation base elevates, your skill may very well be ineffective.'
'It's so precarious now and you're playing with your enemy? Aren't you afraid of playing yourself to death?'
