Chapter 354: Second Rate
Brutal, overwhelming force bore down again and again. No matter how ferocious their attacks, they felt like a mere tickle against Yi Tianyun’s body, having no effect whatsoever. This was the advantage of absolute Defense Power. His strength might not have surpassed General Feng’s, but with a defense this formidable, he could still reign supreme!
When his opponent couldn’t even harm him, Yi Tianyun was already invincible—he was as good as the victor. His strength wasn’t enough to one-shot General Feng, but ’can’t I just wear him down and kill him slowly?’
However, Yi Tianyun had no interest in General Feng right now. He roared and charged toward the Wind Divine Soldiers, sending them screaming in agony. They couldn’t hurt him, nor could they escape him. They were fast, yes, but ’could they possibly outrun me?’
"Is the Spirit King’s true form from the Dragon Race? That power is just too overwhelming. General Feng’s attacks can’t hurt him at all."
"Yeah, if that power were to hit me instead, I’d be dead without a doubt."
"It was the same when he dealt with General Long before; the Spirit King crushed him to death. But this General Feng is a notch stronger, so the Spirit King can’t defeat him as easily. Then again, General Feng can’t seem to land a scratch on him either..."
Ye Qingxuan watched from the side, completely captivated. Her silver eyes shimmered with excitement. How could she not be thrilled to see Yi Tianyun dominating the battlefield?
"While General Feng is tied up with the Spirit King, we should hurry and eliminate those fleeing Wind Divine Soldiers!" Elder Yan’s eyes filled with killing intent. "We can’t just stand here and watch. The Spirit King told us to stay put, but the situation has changed. If we wait any longer, those Wind Divine Soldiers will escape."
They didn’t want to just stand by; it would make them feel useless, as if Yi Tianyun was the only one contributing.
"Alright, then. We’ll go pick off the stragglers. Don’t get drawn into a prolonged fight, and come back immediately if anything seems wrong!" Ye Qingxuan agreed to the decision at once. Many of the Wind Divine Soldiers were about to escape the forest, and even with General Feng’s astonishing speed, he wouldn’t be able to rush over to rescue them in time.
That was why they felt confident enough to act. Under the previous circumstances, they wouldn’t have dared to make a rash move.
"Go!"
With a nod, they all charged out. Suddenly, they burst from the forest—a flash of a sword, a glint of a blade, the flicker of a silver whip—and the Wind Divine Soldiers were sent flying. Even if the powerful blows didn’t kill them, they were left severely wounded.
A few experts had appeared to cut them off, intercepting the fleeing Wind Divine Soldiers and forcing them to screech to a halt, too afraid to keep running.
"Bastards! How despicable, launching a sneak attack from behind!" General Feng roared. He knew the situation was bad. The Wind Divine Soldiers really needed to retreat immediately, or Yi Tianyun would surely kill them all.
Facing that terrifying Defense Power, he had already unleashed his full strength, stopping just short of burning his Essence Blood. But he felt that even if he did burn his Essence Blood, it would still be extremely difficult to deal with him. ’This hide is just too thick! I can’t cut through it no matter how hard I try. What’s the point?’
With a low roar, his body flickered with a faint green light as he shot forward. He couldn’t harm Yi Tianyun, but he could easily cut down Ye Qingxuan and the others with his sword to vent his fury.
"Your Netherworld Empire has the gall to call us despicable?" Yi Tianyun twisted his massive body and shot over in an instant, intercepting him. He raised his Sharp Claw and brought it crashing down.
"Damn you, get out of my way!" A green glint shot from General Feng’s eyes. The Dragon Scales on his body grew thicker, and his Blood Qi completely ignited. In an instant, his Combat Power skyrocketed, reaching a level of 53,000,000.
Yi Tianyun completely ignored his power-up and swung his Dragon Claw down all the same.
BOOM!
Both were knocked back. General Feng was in relatively good shape, only sent flying back a few dozen meters. Yi Tianyun, in contrast, was blasted even further away. His massive dragon body hurtled backward, a shocking sight from a distance, like a great mountain being thrown through the air.
However, that overwhelming sword strike had only left a shallow mark on the Dragon Claw; it hadn’t come close to cleaving it in two. Breaking through his defense was still far too difficult.
Yi Tianyun was fully confident he could take General Feng’s attacks. Unless General Feng’s power increased by another significant leap, he could withstand anything. The Evil Dragon Set hadn’t cost him 100,000 Sin Value for nothing. Its indomitable Defense Power and overwhelming strength were its most direct and brutal effects.
After being thrown back, he simply twisted his dragon body, swung his tail to the side, and slammed against a giant tree to halt his momentum. Then, he twisted his body again and went back to killing the Wind Divine Soldiers, no longer bothering to entangle himself with General Feng.
"BASTARD!!" General Feng roared incessantly. This was infuriating. No matter how much power he unleashed, he couldn’t kill this Evil Dragon. Every attack was blocked.
He could only watch helplessly as his subordinates were slaughtered, their numbers dwindling. Every time he tried to rush over to help, Yi Tianyun would intercept him, preventing any rescue attempt.
Some of the intercepted Wind Divine Soldiers were eventually forced back into the forest. Little did they know, the moment they stepped into the woods, they were also stepping onto the path to their certain doom!
"Good. Very good. For the dignity of the Empire, I will see you dead!" General Feng snarled at Yi Tianyun, grinding his teeth.
"Let’s go!" Yi Tianyun twisted his body, slipped into the forest, and vanished.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan and the others followed him, rushing into the forest. They didn’t even bother chasing the two or three remaining Wind Divine Soldiers, simply ducking into the woods and disappearing into the mist.
General Feng was stunned. They had all vanished in the blink of an eye. He had been about to unleash his ultimate power, but now they were all gone. ’What’s the point of unleashing anything now? Who am I supposed to chase?’
The two or three remaining Wind Divine Soldiers looked at each other, baffled. They had thought they were dead for sure, but their enemies had just run away.
"Cowards! You bunch of cowards! If you have any guts, come out and fight me face-to-face!" General Feng screamed hysterically, so frustrated he felt like he could cough up blood.
He was left with only two or three Wind Divine Soldiers. How was he supposed to break the array and slaughter his way into the Spirit Race village with this? The efficiency was far too low. How many years would it take?
"Idiot. Didn’t we just fight? You couldn’t even lay a scratch on me, and you call me a coward? Besides, if you’ve got the guts, come on in. Stop whining out there!" Yi Tianyun’s voice rang out. He had already returned to his human form, his face a little pale.
The paleness was due to the immense energy drain. His opponent’s attacks hadn’t wounded him, but the toll on his power was massive. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly swallowed a few Recovery Elixirs to rapidly restore the Spiritual Power within his body.
