Chapter 705: I Know The Way Out (2/2)
”Boom!” An explosive tremble could be felt and everyone outside the deathtrap array even thought that this place was going to be flipped upside down. Even so, everyone outside the deathtrap array could only see a blurry place and not Mo Wuji or Bai Ye. They could only feel that within those blurs, the entire place was in havoc and filled with explosions of immortal energy and killing intent.
When he realised that his eight trigrams had smashed against Mo Wuji’s deathtrap array, Bai Ye revealed a slight sneer. He couldn’t believe that Mo Wuji thought a mere Grade 6 deathtrap array was able to hold him back.
Bai Ye’s smile instantly disappeared because when his eight trigrams disc smashed against Mo Wuji’s deathtrap array’s gate, it actually didn’t release this array and in fact, his immortal energy rebounded and almost made him spat out a mouthful of blood.
All these happened in an instance and at the same time, Mo Wuji’s halberd Winding River had already landed.
How could Bai Ye still bother about anything else because if he failed to defend against this Winding River sacred art, this date next year would be his death anniversary. Even if Bai Ye suspected that the array gate of the deathtrap array was right beside the position which he just smashed, he could only retract his eight trigrams disc as it attempted to defend against Mo Wuji’s Winding River.
”Kacha!” The halberd radiance clashed against the eight trigrams disc and the multicolours of the eight trigrams disc started to disperse as if Mo Wuji had just destroyed a rainbow. The rainbow dispersed and the halberd radiance within the deathtrap array formed up once more as it went full force on Bai Ye.
Bai Ye’s years of physique tempering might have been successful but he was only slightly beyond the Great Circle of Immortal Physique and half a step into the God Physique Stage. It wasn’t because he couldn’t advance beyond the God Physique but because he had insufficient preparations. Before being thrown into the Sword Prison, he didn’t prepare any treasures like the Undying Holy Bamboo or Void Nirvana Root.
Moreover, he only started tempering his body after being thrown into the Sword Prison. Before that, even though he had a physique tempering technique, he didn’t bother cultivating it.
The halberd radiance crashed onto Bai Ye’s body endlessly as it formed a fog of blood. As for Bai Ye’s clothing, it was swept away by the halberd radiance. With the sudden resistance from Bai Ye, Mo Wuji’s Winding River sacred art was only able to cause superficial injuries on Bai Ye’s body.
”Stop…” Bai Ye only managed to utter these two words and Mo Wuji’s domain smashing fist was already on its way.
Bai Ye’s domain had originally been restrained by Mo Wuji’s deathtrap array as well as whirlpool domain and now that it had to suffer the force of the domain smashing fist, Bai Ye’s domain was instantly scattered and disintegrated.
In the Sword Prison, Bai Ye’s strength was only equivalent to his strength in the Immortal King Stage outside. Now that he was trapped by an unwounded Mo Wuji, a person who had yet to reach the Immortal King Stage, how could Bai Ye feel good? In the instance Bai Ye’s domain was disintegrated, Mo Wuji’s fist landed directly on his heart.
”Ai!” Bai Ye spat out blood and felt as though his heart was struck by ten thousand steel hammers.
Throughout his many years of physique tempering, Bai Ye had felt all sorts of pain before. However, a heart-crushing pain caused by steel hammers was something he would never forget in his life.
Presently, he realised that if this Sect Head Mo didn’t stop, it would be really hard for him to leave this place alive.
His eight trigrams disc was indeed able to locate the array gate of the deathtrap array in the shortest possible time but the most terrifying thing was that his opponent could casually alter the position of the array gate. If he tried to destroy this deathtrap array forcefully, Mo Wuji could have killed him over a thousand times.
”I admit defeat…” After being crushed by Mo Wuji’s fist within his own domain, Bai Ye knew that he had no other choice except to admit defeat.
In a simple exchange of blows, Bai Ye estimated that Mo Wuji was at most an Immortal King or might be even lower than that. If Mo Wuji was an Immortal Emperor like him, Bai Ye would have died under such circumstances.
He was extremely reluctant to admit defeat because the reason for his defeat was not because he was not strong enough but because his opponent made use of the sword qi within the Sword Prison coupled with the halberd radiance within his deathtrap array which made him completely helpless.
”Great!” Mo Wuji answered simply.
Bai Ye heaved a sigh of relief and he swore to get back at what happened today in the future. He didn’t need to leave the Sword Prison to do so because he was confident that as long as he was outside this small deathtrap array, he would be able to kill this man with the surname ‘Mo’ easily.
Just as Bai Ye heaved a sigh of relief, a long extended halberd radiance was flying towards him. The space within the defensive array suddenly condensed and his movement became significantly slower. This was the first time Bai Ye felt an impending death aura looming around him as he saw his pitch black future.
This sacred art was definitely much more terrifying than the previous Winding River. Because of the condensation of space around him, he was unable to avoid it.
Bai Ye shouted furiously, ”Man with the surname ‘Mo’, how could you go back on your word…”
He sensed Mo Wuji’s resolute to kill him and even though he knew that he would be killed regardless if he admitted defeat, his heart was still full of anger.
”I can only say that you’ve been thinking too much, I only said that it's great that you admit defeat. Since when did I say I would let you go…”
After hearing that, a blood fog exploded in the space and with the aid of the deathtrap array, Mo Wuji’s halberd managed to split Bai Ye into two.
Mo Wuji’s heart finally heaved a sigh of relief because ever since Bai Ye set his eyes on Han Qingru, Mo Wuji never intended to let him leave alive.
”I know the way out…” Even though Bai Ye was split into two, his primordial spirit was actually in one piece.
