Chapter 1493: Divine Spirit Thrust

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

A battle between formidable martial artists was not just a fight of one’s level and mystical abilities; it was also heavily dependent on battle tactics!

Battle tactics were not like mystical ability or secret arts; it was about one’s technique. For example, one might feign weakness at the start and then suddenly counterattack and win with one strike. Or perhaps one might purposely reveal a ‘flaw’ that the enemy might think he could capitalize on, and then counter that move and kill the enemy instead!

Another method was the one Poison Spirit was deploying now: leading by the nose and purposely baiting the opponent. This way, Poison Spirit could easily lay a trap to defeat the opponent. Although many formidable martial artists did not know what Poison Spirit could do that could break through You Tianni’s supreme-grade divine artifact battle armor, they were all skillful martial artists and could immediately see that Poison Spirit already had an absolute advantage. All that was left was how he could win You Tianni within three moves.

“He! He!”

You Tianni’s huge battle saber cut through the air and created a whopping sound. He was probably a practitioner of fire-elemental laws as the edge of his battle saber was engulfed by a wave of fire. While You Tianni and Poison Spirit were high up in the skies now, everyone on the ground could still feel a heat wave reaching them. Furthermore, You Tianni’s attacks were very special: the high temperature seemed to make the surrounding space bend and turn. If someone was really hit by his attacks, the spatial zone around would probably become turbulent. That person’s speed would decelerate, and he would have nowhere to flee.

It was a pity.

All the clones were fake; You Tianni used all his might as he struck them and found that he had not hit the real Poison Spirit. He was so perplexed that he almost spat out blood. Once the last clone disappeared, and You Tianni wanted to catch his breath; the spatial zone right beneath him fluctuated slightly. However, the Poison Spirit did not appear from there. Just as You Tianni was prepared to strike downwards, from his left, right, and above him; the spatial zone started to fluctuate, just like many ripples suddenly gathering in a peaceful lake.

Streaks of terrifying aura surged from the turbulence; these auras were akin to that of fearsome Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast. You Tianni was extremely nervous as without any hesitation this time, he chopped downwards with his saber as his body also shot forward at the same time.

He had finally learned to be smart and wanted to be the predator instead of the prey. Poison Spirit only could use three moves; he had already activated two of them. As long as You Tianni could block this next strike, Poison Spirit would lose; and Jiang Yi would have to kowtow to him every time he saw You Tianni from now on.

“Fool…”

Many formidable martial artists saw You Tianni shooting forward at full speed as they all slightly shook their heads and sighed. Poison Spirit had laid out this trap right from the start; he had been leading You Tianni by the nose, and You Tianni was actually so obedient?

Poison Spirit had created so many clones and had faked his location all for what purpose? It was naturally to force You Tianni to lose his footing and grow careless. If You Tianni stood his ground and continued to go on the defense, he might have had a chance to block the final move. Alas…

As expected!

You Tianni had just flown forward a thousand feet when the sky ahead started to grow turbulent. Following that, countless Poison Spirits appeared as they transformed into lethal swords and flew towards You Tianni. Their killing aura emanated forward and shook You Tianni’s soul spirit. He had been flying at top speed previously; now, he instinctively stopped as he was prepared to deal with Poison Spirit’s last move head-on!

Buzz!

You Tianni’s attention had been fixated on the phantom images in front of him when, suddenly, a green light dot appeared suddenly behind him. Like a divine beam, it shot straight at You Tianni’s sword-wielding left hand; You Tianni did not even notice it.

When this green light dot appeared, a few of the older Titled Battle God commanders’ eyes all lit up. One of them exclaimed, “Divine Spirit Thrust! Poison Spirit is from the royal family of the Phantom Race?”

Tsk! Tsk!

You Tianni only cried out when the green light dot pierced his left hand; that was a testament to how quick this strike had been. Countless people did not even manage to see clearly the shadow that appeared behind that green light dot. His speed was frightening and could probably even rival that of the Little Eagle King when he transformed.

“Ahhh!”

You Tianni cried out in pain as his left hand shook, and that supreme-grade divine artifact in his hand was snatched by a hand, his saber taken away. Those clones in front of him also gradually disappeared. A cold voice rang out in You Tianni’s ears, “You have lost!”

“Uh…”

Many spectators were startled as they saw that Poison Spirit was standing behind You Tianni. Poison Spirit’s dagger had pierced You Tianni’s battle armor and into his arm while Poison Spirit’s other hand held onto You Tianni’s weapon.

You Tianni had indeed lost!

If this attack had not pierced his arm but his heart or brain, You Tianni would have long died. Poison Spirit had actually shown mercy. However, many people could not understand: Poison Spirit’s divine artifact was obviously a medial-grade divine artifact; how could it pierce through supreme-grade battle armor? These two weapons were two grades apart.

While some might not have understood, those who were more experienced knew what was up. They also looked at Poison Spirit in a different light.

Divine Spirit Thrust. This was the Phantom Race’s most powerful killing ability. It was also the hardest secret art to master. In the current Phantom Race, probably only five men had mastered it. Furthermore, these five were all famous formidable martial artists in the Yi Clan; they were all royalty!

Poison Spirit had said that he had been kicked out of the Phantom Race: that meant that he was not royalty. There hadn’t been anyone of royal blood that had been kicked out of the Phantom Race recently. Only Yi Piaopiao had been trapped under the Saint Spirit Mountain. To realize the Divine Spirit Thrust when he wasn’t even from the royal family: that was even rarer. In the entire history of the Phantom Race, there probably had been only a handful who had accomplished this.

What a talent…

The Phantom Race had actually expelled such a talented member? Many people lamented for the Phantom Race. Having realized the Divine Spirit Thrust—if Poison Spirit could reach the Titled God Thearch Realm, he would be able to defeat all formidable martial artists beside King-Ranked ones. Unless one had primitive-spiritual-treasure-equivalent battle armor or was as quick as the Ink Feather Race absolute formidable martial artists, no one would be able to block or evade this thrust.

“How did Jiang Yi subdue such a high-level formidable martial artist?”

This thought floated in many people’s minds. All formidable martial artists had their dignity and pride; they wouldn’t bend the knee that easily and would never become a soul slave of someone weaker than themselves. Could it be Jiang Yi’s battle strength was higher than that of Poison Spirit’s? That’s impossible!

Poison Spirit silently kept his dagger as he tossed the supreme-grade divine artifact back to You Tianni and said, “My master has spoken. The Demon-Buster Army has its rules; the Fire Phoenix Army has its own as well. We are here to exterminate the Netherworld Race, not to fight and vie among ourselves. He does not want trouble but never fears any trouble that comes his way. He hopes that all of you will bear this in mind.”

After speaking, Poison Spirit transformed into a streak of a shooting star and flew into the Fire Phoenix Army, vanishing from everyone’s line of sight.

There was dead silence. Many young masters’ faces were flushed. Jiang Yi hadn’t even bothered to show up; he had only sent his soul slave who gave all the young masters present a tight slap to their faces. The various elders from the different factions within the Demon-Buster Army also felt as if they had lost face. You Tianni’s face was even darker. He did not say anything at all as he flew swiftly into one of the castles.

Many commanders and young masters all left quietly. However, some beautiful young mistresses’ eyes were dazzling. Some of them had not met Jiang Yi before; they had only heard about what he had done during the Ten Thousand Domain Tournament. Coupled with what had happened this time, Jiang Yi had suddenly become powerful and mysterious in their eyes.

What was strange was… for such a big occasion, Qi Qingchen and Little Eagle King actually didn’t bother to turn up. Everyone didn’t know if Qi Qingchen was in seclusion or if the Little Eagle King was really occupied with other matters.

However, many people were certain that the Jiang Yi had just become the mortal enemy of all the young masters. The Fire Phoenix Army would also be ostracized by the remaining ten armies in the Demon-Buster Army. Things would not die down after today; the show was just about to start getting interesting.
