Chapter 962: Chapter 208: Life and Death at Tian Ya (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Kai Feng Qing)
Ji Shaoqing couldn’t believe it.
Cautious as he was, after only watching one battle and acquiring limited information, he wouldn’t consider it a matter of life and death.
At the same time, he had no need to engage in a close-quarters battle with Jiang Wang.
So he retreated.
The water ripples spread like shattered snowflakes, thrice with each movement, as he swiftly fell back.
Jiang Wang advanced stepping on clouds, while he retreated stepping on waves.
Between the two of them, they still maintained a relative distance.
With a lift of his hand, Ji Shaoqing summoned the Water Dragon Chant again!
Although both were using divine skills, his First Quarter Moon hung high in the sky, inherently a persistent divine skill. By using the Water Dragon Chant to wear down Jiang Wang’s Samadhi True Fire, and Dao Techniques to consume divine skills, he would certainly not be at a disadvantage!
A Water Dragon Chant bolstered by the First Quarter Moon was not easy to contend with.
In a sense, it had already surpassed the power of a first-class premium Dao Technique and was nearing that of an exceptional yellow-class Dao Technique.
Behind him, a water dragon turned sharply in pursuit, while two more collided head-on. Beneath his feet, the surging waves amplified the atmosphere.
Jiang Wang shattered the green clouds beneath his feet and skillfully maneuvered between the two water dragons.
The Immortal Technique, Walk in the Sky, was so exquisitely fine-tuned that instead of retreating, it brought him a step closer to Ji Shaoqing.
The dragon’s chant arose once more!
Ji Shaoqing unleashed yet another Water Dragon Chant.
There were no strongest Dao Techniques, only the most suitable ones.
The Water Dragon Chant was an Instantaneous Dao Art he had imprinted in his fifth Inner Mansion.
Under the influence of the divine skill, First Quarter Moon, its power was stronger, it consumed less Path Origin, and was more enduring.
Two or three water dragons might be easily evaded, but what about three or four, or even five or six?
An overwhelming force descended like a mountain crashing onto an egg.
He planned to simply wear Jiang Wang down to death with the Water Dragon Chant!
The area outside End of the World Platform was crowded with people, almost all the positions for close observation of the decisive battle were occupied by curious onlookers.
Of course, at the Diao Hai Building’s home ground. The gazes people cast towards Qi people like Zhongxuan Sheng and Li Longchuan were very unfriendly.
Moreover, the scene of the new moon hanging high, with the waves surging and five water dragons roaring at the End of the World Platform, was exhilarating for them.
Jiang Wang’s footsteps changed rapidly, and his right hand had already ignited a bit of Samadhi True Fire.
This kind of consumption was exactly what Ji Shaoqing wanted!
Five water dragons chased relentlessly, flying back and forth, with the tiny figure of Jiang Wang shifting left and right, stepping leisurely among them.
Which water dragon would he choose to burn first?
Eliminating which one would most likely break the situation wide open?
Ji Shaoqing had these thoughts flash through his mind but didn’t ponder them deeply.
Because there was no need.
He raised his hand, and yet another Water Dragon Chant was launched!
The battle had just begun and had already reached a fever pitch, with the divine skill, First Quarter Moon, hanging high, Ji Shaoqing shot out four consecutive Water Dragon Chants!
Atop the End of the World Platform, the sound of the tide grew more urgent, the wild waves more ferocious. No less than seven huge water dragons nearly locked down all positions.
And the Samadhi True Fire that Jiang Wang had ignited in his right hand was still within his palm and hadn’t been released.
At the critical moment when surrounded by the seven water dragons, his left palm flipped, and a crystal-clear glass jug appeared out of nowhere, capturing all the water dragons within it!
The Cyan Morning jug, a gift from Granny Bizhu!
This treasure was adept at storing water, nurturing fish. It was a treasure for raising creatures and also for commanding water. It once contained river water, brimming with the essence of water. The poisonous and rapid five-colored fish could also be easily enveloped by it.
To resolve the Water Dragon Chant was precisely its use.
Jiang Wang had not used it earlier nor later; he used it at this moment specifically to catch Ji Shaoqing off guard.
Ji Shaoqing had seen his Eight Melodies of Sea Burning and Samadhi True Fire, taking the lead. By deliberately using the Samadhi True Fire, which the opponent had already witnessed, Jiang Wang willingly took a small loss to win back a fleeting advantage for himself.
It made Ji Shaoqing believe that he had no better way to deal with the Water Dragon Chant than to consume Samadhi True Fire.
But then the Cyan Morning jug was revealed, and the seven imposing water dragons were swiftly captured.
Between him and Ji Shaoqing, there was emptiness!
Shattering the green clouds, he was now close to Ji Shaoqing.
Ji Shaoqing had launched four Water Dragon Chants in quick succession, and even with the influence of the First Quarter Moon, he still inevitably expended a lot of energy. When he saw the Cyan Morning jug, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably with both hatred and anger.
This item was a treasure of Granny Bizhu! Before her death, she had not managed to destroy it, leaving it to fall into the hands of the Jiangs.
He indeed suffered a disadvantage in this exchange, but facing Jiang Wang drawing near, he remained undaunted.
He merely raised one finger, pointing up to the vault of the sky.
The first quarter moon, suspended high above, suddenly swiveled to directly face Jiang Wang.
Divine Skill of the First Quarter Moon’s second form was thus activated!
Undeniably, Jiang Wang had brought immense pressure.
Ji Shaoqing also brought out his most powerful technique. At least, this form of Divine Skill of the First Quarter Moon had never been revealed before.
The vertical string side faced the night sky, while the moon’s far side faced Jiang Wang.
An endless stream of moonlight appeared.
As if the moonlight imprisoned in the First Quarter Moon was suddenly "released."
The paths of moonlight, like arrows, fell swiftly to the ground, shooting towards Jiang Wang.
Using the moon as the bow, and the light as the arrows.
A myriad of arrows aimed at the heart!
How fast is the speed of moonlight?
When you see the moonlight, you are already basked in its glow!
Jiang Wang’s approach towards Ji Shaoqing seemed as though he was welcoming the barrage from the First Quarter Moon.
His entire body was riddled on the spot with the Arrows of the Moon!
Crack!
And shattered.
The illusion of the Red Mirror!
Ji Shaoqing indeed had not anticipated that someone would dare to use illusions in front of the cultivators of Diao Hai Building, and he was even more surprised that he had been deceived!
From behind the shattered illusion, the curled-up Jiang Wang suddenly unfurled. Like a coiled beast that had been lying in wait for ages, he suddenly bared his sharp claws and fangs, exuding a chilling killing intent!
He abhorred Ji Shaoqing, but would never underestimate the man.
If Ji Shaoqing were weak, even with the backing of Diao Hai Building, how could he dare to seek such open retribution against him?
He had gained the initiative by choosing to surge forward from behind the illusion, prepared to face any potential counterattacks from Ji Shaoqing.
And indeed, because of this astute choice, he happened to block the Arrows of the Moon.
Unaware of the true might of the Arrows of the Moon or how many arrows he could withstand... but Jiang Wang had no desire to find out.
He charged out from behind the shattered illusion, in a posture unobscured and exposed, rushing towards Ji Shaoqing!
Outside the End of the World Platform, it was broad daylight under a blue sky, but atop the platform, the bright moon hung high.
Above their heads was Ji Shaoqing’s Divine Skill of the First Quarter Moon, below was the churning waves drawn forth by the Water Dragon Chant.
While Jiang Wang, heading towards Ji Shaoqing face-on, hand on the sword hilt, gaze fixed on his opponent.
No one would doubt that he was about to draw a breathtakingly formidable sword!
The breaths of the cultivators from the Sea Tower outside the arena were all suspended.
The rhythm of the battle changed too quickly. Just a moment ago, Ji Shaoqing was dominating, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed as though he might be overturned.
Ji Shaoqing was skilled in Water Taoism Technique, but among his repertoire of Instantaneous Dao Arts, the strongest was Water Dragon Chant, already perfectly countered by the opponent. His illusion techniques were also very refined, but from that impeccable illusion just now, he had no intention of using illusion techniques against Jiang Wang anymore. Once an illusion is seen through, it is almost like handing over the chance of victory to the opponent.
The Arrows of the Moon from the First Quarter Moon needed to accumulate, and it could not be like the infinite glow of the bright moon. Now that the first barrage had been released, it was still buffering.
And Jiang Wang, like a tiger leaping down a hill, was about to pounce.
In the eyes of many, this might seem like an insoluble situation.
But for those who truly understood Ji Shaoqing, this was just the beginning...
Boom!
The moment Jiang Wang drew near.
Above the firmament, within the void, directly above the End of the World Platform, it was as if a gateway had opened.
It was an ancient, mysterious, stone-like portal.
This gate opened from the top down.
As if a hand from beyond the heavens pushed the door open, revealing itself to the mortals below!
Divine Skill, Heavenly Gate!
As it opened from above, flying was prohibited!
Jiang Wang’s rushing figure in midair plummeted!
