Chapter 901 - The Army Arrives (1/2)
Jiang Fei stopped, stomping the ground as hard as he could to direct himself away.
Psshhh…
When the blobs of blackened blood touched the ground, they made a sizzling sound, corroding and melting away even the rocks on the ground.
”Shesh! Thank god for that,” Jiang Fei cried, surprised at how vicious the attack was. If he had taken that head-on, he would have been momentarily maimed and seriously injured if he failed to purge himself of that poison.
From there on out, Jiang Fei decided to be economical on his efforts. The Mutant army was coming and it was already far too late for the other martial artists to retreat. If he wanted everyone to survive, he would have to be at his best all the time and fight them.
After Baron Blood's attack was evaded, Jiang Fei charged forward to attack one of Baron Blood's clones. His sword went straight through his head. However, even though Jiang Fei could see his sword piercing through the clone, it did not feel like he had struck anything. On the contrary, he felt as if he was only hitting the air.
”Mhm. A non-physical clone!” Jiang Fei scoffed. If the actual body of Baron Blood could be rendered non-physical, Jiang Fei would never be able to kill him even with the Zhanlu Sword.
Just as he was distracted, Jiang Fei did not hear anything but saw a shadow coming towards him as he noticed the ground. At that instant, he heard the sound of the wind, created only by swinging one's arm. It was a physical attack, which meant that one of the clones had materialized himself to attack.
Jiang Fei dodged the attack at the very last second. At that instant, the two other clones charged towards him, preparing for an attack.
”Dammit! These clones are annoying!” Jiang Fei complained. Not only did he need to save his strength, but also time. If he continued to delay the fight, it would be terrible for him when the main Mutant army arrived.
”Mhm!” Jiang Fei grunted as he unleashed a series of kicks to knock back one and slashed his way through another. Baron Blood had resorted to using his clones to attack Jiang Fei because he feared Jiang Fei's powers. Until now, he was still buying the idea that Jiang Fei himself was capable of sending his Qi into an enemy to kill him, in a single touch.
”Persistence little cockroach!” Baron Blood roared. Gradually becoming more desperate, Baron Blood could not land an attack no matter how he tried coordinating his clones to attack. He was getting desperate. The clones that he had created could last only for 30 seconds. Worse, he did not know how far away was Lincoln's army was. Hence, at that moment, every second past that Jiang Fei was still alive would be the death of him.
”I need to go all out with this one!”
With less than 15 seconds left, Baron Blood decided to head in.
With just a thought, Baron Blood controlled his clones to spit more blackened blood on Jiang Fei, forcing him to retreat away, opening a window of attack for himself from behind Jiang Fei!
At the right time, Baron Blood sneaked behind Jiang Fei and jumped at him when he did not notice.
”Captain! Behind you!” 0541 blared.
”Shields!” Jiang Fei responded with a plan of attack. For him to come so close to Jiang Fei meant that Baron Blood was desperate to kill him right there and then. Unfortunately for him, Jiang Fei had more than just one trump card!
A blue barrier was put up and stopped Baron Blood's dagger from touching Jiang Fei.
”F*ck!” Baron Blood shrieked. He knew that he had made a fatal mistake and it was too late for him to do anything about it.
”Die!” Jiang Fei roared, spinning around with the Zhanlu Sword where he was.
Ping!
A loud metal crashing sound was heard and the remains of what was a dagger were seen on the ground. Baron Blood tired to parried that swing but failed miserably and even gotten himself cut behind his palm.
”You're dead now!” Jiang Fei snickered. Such a wound would not mean anything to regular human beings but extremely deadly to any Metahuman! Blood started to gather at the open would and not sooner, Baron Blood could feel his veins burning!
