Chapter 1283: Chapter 118 Elder Yajin_3
Ah Dai still floated in midair, his eyes ablaze as he stared at Di Ya, his fighting spirit of the ninth level of the Live Alive Decision pressing down continuously on his opponent.
Di Ya felt her breathing becoming increasingly difficult, as if myriad heavy stones were continuously pounding on her, cold sweat streaming down her forehead. At this moment, she suddenly felt that Ah Dai’s earlier claim of defeating her in one move was no empty boast. The sense of defeat made her already weaker fighting spirit even less effective as she kept retreating.
Ah Dai raised his right hand, and under everyone’s scrutiny, a blue-green light of the Live Alive Variation gradually formed into a Solid Energy Sword. With the tip of the sword pointing forward, his body slowly floated ahead; the Live Alive fighting spirit oppressed Di Ya with even greater might as he advanced. Di Ya’s fighting spirit was now forced an inch outside of her body. She realized she was completely bound by the opponent’s spirit. Watching the haloed Energy Sword incessantly approaching, she desperately struggled, but the difference in power was too great. How could she break free? Now, she had absolutely no means to resist.
Seeing their mighty Clan Leader being overwhelmed by the enemy without the power to fight back, the heavily armored warriors around started to get restless, slowly closing in towards the center.
Suddenly, Ah Dai’s body flashed oddly in midair. In the blink of an eye, he was standing face to face in front of Di Ya, his Energy Sword resting on her shoulder, the blade’s sharpness emitting a faint chill. Di Ya’s rapid breathing was clearly audible. Ah Dai looked into her eyes, filled with shock and anger, and said lightly, "This should count as one move. You cannot be my opponent. I don’t want to kill. If you cherish the lives of your subordinates, then leave immediately. Perhaps, you have heard that a Grim Reaper once appeared in the Empire of Sunset City, transmigrating countless fallen souls by his hand." Locking eyes with the somewhat puzzled Di Ya, Ah Dai articulated every word: "That—person—is—me." After saying this, he distinctly felt Di Ya’s body trembling. He said coldly, "My hands have long been stained with blood, and I don’t mind killing a thousand more. If you care for the lives of your subordinates, take them and leave." Having said that, Ah Dai abruptly retreated, returning to stand in front of Xuan Yue and the others, and the fighting spirit binding Di Ya completely disappeared. He steadfastly watched Di Ya, awaiting her decision.
The pressure suddenly vanished, causing Di Ya to sway, her complexion turning exceptionally pale. She barely supported her body with her Longsword, and suddenly had a thought. This young man before her who seemed only to be in his twenties, his power appeared to be no less than her master’s. What a terrifying force! The Grim Reaper, he was the Grim Reaper that made the Empire of Sunset City fall into panic. The defeated Di Ya no longer had her previous anger and had inwardly acknowledged Ah Dai’s words. As the leader of a clan, she could not gamble with the lives of thousands of her people. Just as Di Ya was about to issue the order to retreat, four tall figures moved past her, shielding her behind them. Di Ya was startled; those who had just stepped forward were the four Elders who had come with her. When Di Ya was very young, she knew of four incredibly remarkable individuals in the Yajin Tribe. These four people were the spiritual leaders of the entire Yajin Tribe. Even her father—the old Clan Leader—would not dare show any disrespect in front of them. The Yajin Tribe had faced several crises in the past, including a major conflict with the largest tribe of the Yalin Tribe. At that time, the Yajin Tribe was not as powerful as it is now; that largest tribe of the Yalin had two hundred thousand elite Cavalry, not something the Yajin Tribe could contend with. Just as a great battle between the two tribes was about to erupt, the four Elders suddenly disappeared. When they returned, they brought a letter of surrender from that Yalin tribe. Since then, the Yajin Tribe had developed rapidly. No one knew how powerful the four Elders truly were, but all of the Yajin Tribe held them in esteem no less than that of a Sky God. With them around, the Yajin Tribe feared nothing. Today, after learning that Ah Dai had broken through their defenses with a single arrow, Di Ya, in an attempt to vent the anger in her heart and clear the Yajin Tribe’s shame, had specially invited the four long-retreating Elders to assist. She had never seen the four Elders take action but had full confidence in them. Seeing them taking the initiative to strike, she felt reassured. The words she was about to say were swallowed back.
Xuan Yue looked at the four Elders and frowned, "What, are you planning a tag-team battle?"
The eldest Elder’s long, lifelike eyebrows slightly lifted, and his calm voice, devoid of any emotion, sounded, "We are Elders of the Yajin Tribe and did not wish to be your enemy, but for the honor of the Yajin Tribe, we have no choice but to act. All four of you can come at us together. As long as you can defeat us four, the Yajin Tribe will never be an enemy to you again."
Looking at the four elderly figures before him, who seemed as ordinary as any other person, Ah Dai felt a sudden, inexplicable unease. But how could he retreat now? He nodded and said, "Fine, I accept your challenge."
Xuan Re suddenly moved next to Ah Dai, staring at the four elders who were like still ancient wells, and said, "Big brother, since they are four people, let’s join forces. Xuan Re of the Holy Church, a Light-series magic guide, wishes to learn from you." As her voice fell, a golden light burst forth, enveloping her body in an energy fluctuation not at all weaker than Ah Dai’s Live Alive fighting spirit.
