Chapter 1104: Chapter 79: The Disparate Battle_4
Ah Dai’s cultivation coursed through his hundred meridians, as he gradually sank the running True Qi into the Silver Body in his Dantian, the white light on his body disappeared. He slowly opened his eyes and was immediately startled by the scene before him. Yan Shi and the others seemed to have been restrained. When Yan Shi saw his eyes open, he kept warning him with his gaze. Behind Yan Shi and the rest stood four Golden Armored Men whose contained Energy was so strong that it took Ah Dai by surprise. In an instant, he leaped up from the ground, his True Qi naturally circulating in the face of crisis, forming a thick layer of Defence Aura around his body.
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yuan appeared in front of Ah Dai. He spoke indifferently, "You’ve finally awakened. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
Ah Dai’s heart grew cold. The white-clothed elder before him gave him an unfathomable feeling. Among the auras he sensed just now, this white-clothed elder’s was absent, showing how skilled he was, undeniably superior to Ah Dai’s own. Ah Dai instinctively stepped back and frowned. "Who are you? What have you done to my friends?"
Xuan Yuan said calmly, "They’re fine, just temporarily incapacitated. As long as you can defeat me, I will naturally grant them their freedom. Come, I hope my wait has not been in vain. Don’t disappoint me." The light he emitted was also white, but Xuan Yuan’s was filled with Sacred Aura, much more fierce than Ah Dai’s True Qi.
Ah Dai had no time to think as the immense pressure forced him to focus entirely. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes fixed on the old man. A yellow-green light shone as he used the Life Essence Transforming Technique to create two balls of Solid State Energy on his hands, ready to alter their form to attack the enemy before him.
Xuan Yuan let out a gentle shout, his right hand lightly lifted and he pointed his index finger, tracing a graceful trajectory towards Ah Dai’s chest. White Battle Aura shot out, heading straight for Ah Dai’s chest.
Although only a single stream of True Qi was coming at him, Ah Dai could clearly feel that the space around his body was completely locked by the opponent’s Qi Force, making any evasion lead to a torrential assault. Helpless, he could only mimic the move, pointing out with his right index finger. Life Essence Transforming Energy materialized into a solid light column, about a foot in length and yellow-green in color, meeting the white Battle Aura head-on, concentrated and unyielding. The two energies clashed violently in mid-air. Ah Dai felt the opponent’s emitted Battle Aura was so robust, although not solid, its concentrated Energy surpassing his own Life Essence Transform. With a "thud," the energies collided and Ah Dai was shaken, retreating three steps before steadying himself, the yellow-green light on his finger reduced to a mere three inches, barely holding on.
A hint of pleasure flashed in Xuan Yuan’s eyes. The initiative was completely in his hands. The Holy Judge spoke of altering Battle Aura, which was truly magical. This youngster named Ah Dai, who was clearly much weaker, was still capable of withstanding his first strike by virtue of the unique characteristics of his Battle Aura. Pleased, Xuan Yuan suddenly retracted his finger force, still standing immovable, his fingers gently flicked and five beams of light shot out from his tips, bolting toward the ten vital spots on Ah Dai’s body. A surging Qi Force brought a shrill whistling sound through the air.
As Xuan Yuan retracted his finger force, Ah Dai’s body, due to the excessive force, leaned slightly forward. Clearly understanding that the elder before him was far more skilled, and seeing the ten streams of Battle Aura coming at him, a sense of being unable to resist welled up inside him. He bit the tip of his tongue and reignited his fighting spirit with the pain, shouting, "Tian Luo’s Net." He deliberately controlled the Solid State Energy, transformed through the Life Essence technique, to a very small area. A light net with a diameter of one meter abruptly emerged from his hands moving as fast as lightning, enveloping the ten streams of Battle Aura flying towards him.
Xuan Yuan was shocked. It was the first time he had ever seen Battle Aura emitted in a net-like form and was even more surprised that the ten streams of Battle Aura released with fifty percent of his strength were instantly dissipated upon touching the light net, as if sliced apart, their offensive power wiped out. Tian Luo’s Net did not vanish, although weakened significantly, yet continued to fly towards Xuan Yuan. After exchanging two moves, Ah Dai finally clawed back a sliver of initiative, albeit at the cost of twenty percent of his strength.
Xuan Yuan’s expression turned solemn, his right hand lifted and flipped out from his chest, the surging white Battle Aura gradually transitioning into gold. A golden light formed a thick barrier in front of him, waiting for the approach of the light net. Just at this moment, Tian Luo’s Net in mid-air halted abruptly, stopping dead in its tracks. It turned out that Ah Dai had connected a fine strand of Battle Aura behind his light net; while it was not strong enough to control such a powerful attack as Tian Luo’s Net, it managed to delay it in the air by a tenth of a second. This tenth of a second provided him a slight opportunity. When Xuan Yuan saw the light net freeze, the Battle Aura he emitted hesitated as well, and the solid defensive wall weakened momentarily. As his Energy faltered, Tian Luo’s Net accelerated under Ah Dai’s control, crashing heavily into Xuan Yuan’s Defence Aura. The Solid State Energy of Life Essence Transform unleashed a tremendous explosive force at that moment. Xuan Yuan became the first to take the brunt of Tian Luo’s Net attack. Amidst a deafening boom, Tian Luo’s Net disappeared, and the Golden Protective Wall in front of Xuan Yuan looked much dimmer.
