Chapter 1282: Chapter 118 Elder Yajin_2
Kino’s face turned red, and he retorted with slight anger, "Who’s hiding? Am I supposed to be scared?"
Olivia chuckled and said, "Well, that’s uncertain."
Suddenly, Xuan Yue said, "Get ready, they’re coming." The sound of horse hooves became softer, and the sound of footsteps approached from all directions, their rhythmic cadence distinctly audible in the quiet forest.
Shadows gradually appeared, as a large group of heavily armed soldiers surrounded them, their long spears pointing forward. Each step they took, Ah Dai and his companions felt an increasing, albeit invisible, pressure.
The heavy armored soldiers kept advancing, and when they halted thirty meters away from Ah Dai’s group, a thousand icy stares bore down on them, waiting for something.
Suddenly, the soldiers in front spread neatly apart, leaving a narrow path just wide enough for three people to walk through. Di Ya, accompanied by the four elders of the Yajin Tribe, walked down this passage, her face stern, and right hand gripping the hilt of her sword at her waist.
Ah Dai stepped forward, shielding Xuan Yue and the others behind him, and said indifferently, "Clan Leader, what do you intend by blocking our path here?"
Di Ya stopped ten meters in front of Ah Dai, lifted her left hand to signal the four elders to halt, and looked coldly at Ah Dai, who was dressed in a fire series magician robe. She said sternly, "I am here to fulfill the promise made at the Golden Jade Building. Didn’t you say you could defeat me with one blow? Well, this is the perfect place for us to test that."
Ah Dai took a deep breath and asked, "If I defeat you with one move, will you stop harassing us?"
A flash of anger crossed Di Ya’s eyes, "No. Unless you walk over the corpses of the Yajin Tribe warriors, even if you defeat me, you won’t be leaving. Destroying the east gate of Andis City is the greatest insult to our Yajin Tribe. I will cleanse it with your blood."
Olivia was shocked. He had initially thought that Di Ya was just venting her frustration, but he hadn’t expected her to harbor a killing intent. He couldn’t help but say angrily, "Clan Leader Di Ya, aren’t you afraid of making an enemy out of the Mage Guild?"
Di Ya glanced at him and said, "I have sealed off the news. If I kill you here, nobody will know. What’s more, do you think I fear the Mage Guild? Let alone the fact that relations between the continental Mage Guild and the Tian Jing Mage Guild are currently quite strained, even if they banded together, they wouldn’t have more than 2,000 mages. Whereas I command 200,000 valiant soldiers. I believe that as long as the Guild’s members are wise, they will not antagonize me over a few low-level mages like yourselves."
Ah Dai’s eyes narrowed slightly as Di Ya’s words fully ignited the fury in his heart. He said coolly, "If you want to kill us, I’m afraid these people aren’t up to the task." Three years ago, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Empire of Sunset City couldn’t capture him in Dark City. Although the thousands of soldiers before him seemed very formidable, Ah Dai was fully confident in himself.
Xuan Yue said, "Big brother, don’t waste words with her. If she wants to kill us, then let’s see who kills whom. Great Sky God! Please grant me strength and with Your most pure Holy Light, protect Your faithful followers." The Angel Wand erupted with a dazzling golden halo that instantly expanded, infusing into the bodies of their group of four.
Ah Dai felt a tremor throughout his body as a gentle energy formed a protection barrier around him, elevating his spirit, energy, and Qi to unprecedented levels.
Di Ya looked at Xuan Yue in surprise and said, "This is sacred light magic. Are you a member of the Church?"
At this juncture, Xuan Yue believed there was no more need for secrecy, and proudly said, "Indeed, I am a priest of the Church. What now? Are you scared?"
Di Ya, looking at Xuan Yue’s even more handsome face under the sacred aura, felt a tremor in her heart, and snorted angrily, "Scared? I have never felt this before in my life. A priest? As long as you all fall here, what can the Church do to me?" The Grand Elder behind her suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Clan Leader, we should not antagonize the Church. Please reconsider."
Di Ya responded indifferently, "I know what I’m doing." She flipped her wrist, and the glinting longsword pointed diagonally at Ah Dai, "Come on, let’s see how you will defeat me with one move."
Ah Dai’s heart suddenly became calm. Di Ya posed no threat to him, but the four elders behind her made his heart race with trepidation. He stepped forward, and a blue-green light gradually flickered around him, "If that’s the case, then be prepared to receive my blow. If I can’t defeat you within one move, there’s no need for you to act; I will end my life here and now." With these words, he cornered himself and, under pressure, the Golden Body within him erupted, and surging battle aura burst forth. The dazzling white light lifted Ah Dai’s body gradually afloat amidst the air.
The faces of the four elders of the Yajin Tribe showed surprise; they never expected Di Ya to provoke such a formidable opponent.
Ah Dai calmly said, "As the third generation disciple of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, Ah Dai seeks your guidance." With these words, he flew straight towards Di Ya.
Di Ya took a deep breath to settle her unease and trembled her wrist ever so slightly, changing the angle of her longsword constantly, wrapped in blue battle aura, as she looked for openings in Ah Dai’s defense.
When Ah Dai was a mere five meters away from Di Ya, he suddenly stopped. When facing danger, his mind always became crystal clear. He calmly said, "Clan Leader Di Ya, my master once said that when a person’s martial skills reach a certain level, all techniques become meaningless. Strong battle aura is the key to determine victory or defeat. Today, I will prove this to you." The protective True Qi around him burst forth, and within ten meters of Ah Dai as the center, everything was enveloped in white brilliance. Di Ya instinctively stepped back, barely managing to withstand the immense pressure with her own blue battle aura.
