33 Jiang Tians First Battle (1/2)

Bones crackled and muscles were torn. Jiang Tian's miserable shrieks echoed waves after waves as the woman's palm strikes landed on the areas where it hurt the most but dealt the less damage, prolonging his suffering.

Flying in the air, Jiang Tian clicked his tongue and stopped the Ghost Emperor Scripture's regenerative properties. Turning it into offensive, a ghostly light enveloped his body and the woman's follow up attack struck nothing but thin-air.

”Oh? Interesting, so you like to be forcefully subdued...” She licked her lips and locked on Jiang Tian's aura as she madly pursued behind him.

Sensing the approaching mad ”Patriarch” of the Xia Clan. Jiang Tian knew that he wouldn't be able to run. If that's the case, it was the time for him to counter-attack.

Facing the woman, Jiang Tian revolved his Frozen Sovereign Manual and manfiested an Ice Icicle that he threw towards the former's direction.

”Futile!” She screamed and disintegrated Jiang Tian's Ice Attack with a palm strike. But when she lifted her head and stared at Jiang Tian's direction. She realized that his aura disappeared and an incoming knee strike threatened her face.

”Trying out these sneak attacks, do you really think that you could hurt me like that?!” She madly roared and elbowed Jiang Tian's incoming knee. But just as her elbow made contact with Jiang Tian's knee. The latter exploded into a dark smoke.

”A smokebomb? Such cheap tricks!” She rotated her cultivation base and manifested a tempest in the form of Spiritual Energy. The tempest raged inside the dark smoke but it never managed to scatter it away.

”What's going on? This smoke bomb is heavier than wind?” She mumbled, ”Hmmph! Even if I can't scatter it away with my power, I can just run away and eventually exit the coverage area of the smoke!”

She ran forwards but after running for fifty meters. Her eyebrows knitted when she realized that she was still inside the dark smoke.

”What the hell?” She thought and fell into deep contemplation for a moment before decisively breaking her fingers. A cracking sound reverberated yet her expression never faltered as she didn't feel any pain.

”An illusion?! Just how did he...” Her eyes widened in shock and revolving her cultivation base. A terrifying tempest manifested around her body. Eventually scattering the dark smoke.

Carrying his Flexible Ropes. Jiang Tian ran as fast as he could in circles around the young woman's stiffened body. Sweat dripped down his forehead as he knew that with the woman's cultivation base. It was a matter of time before she realizes his illusion and breaks through.

Before she could do that, Jiang Tian must complete his plan as the Flexible Ropes rapidly disappeared from his hands and surrounded the woman's body.

”Last lap... This is the last lap...” Jiang Tian mumbled under his ragged breathing and just as he completed his last lap, a burst of horrifying energy exploded from the woman's body.

”Guah!” The shockwaves sent Jiang Tian's body, flying into the air. Twisting his body, he forcefully regained his balance as the woman's darkened expression stared right into his eyes.

”To think that a mere Outer Disciple like you actually managed to trap me inside an illusion without my knowlege...” Her cold words contained praise and sharpness that shivered Jiang Tian's spine. In his hands was the other end of the Flexible Ropes.
