Chapter 329: One Versus Nine

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before the seawater sent flying in the sky could fall back, they were frozen by an invisible power, turning into seemingly magnificent snowflakes, which were in fact lethal weapons!

The transparent Snow Spear then emerged, immediately leaving dozens of remaining images in the air. The images themselves also contained spear energy that had been sealed up by the icy energy, keeping them from dissipating.

“Roar!”

With the final spear strike, the dozens frozen streaks of energy shattered and fused into the last strike, which then turned into an ice dragon, aiming at Ji Ye’s chest.

Because of his late arrival, Zhao Yun was also stuck at Extraordinary Rank-8, but after activating the Snow Spear’s special ability, his strike was definitely as powerful as an Extraordinary Rank-9 one, if not stronger.

Even Ji Ye didn’t dare to take it lightly.

In his dantian, he changed the property of the Yin and Yang Sutra from utmost Yin back to utmost Yang. A streak of scorching dragon-shaped energy then crashed into the Snow Spear!

The Dragon-Subduing Strike was a very powerful technique.

Its only shortcoming was that it was much more demanding in one’s True Qi than ordinary techniques.

For those who didn’t have enough inner strength, they even had to rest for a few moments before they could make a second strike. Thanks to the Yin and Yang Sutra, which Ji Ye had reached the Flawless stage, he could recover his True Qi at a tremendous speed.

That was why he dared to fight against the nine warriors all at once.

Boom!

The Snow Spear and the dragon-shaped energy collided with each other.

Immediately, the transcendent power of the Snow Spear froze the invisible energy of the Dragon-Subduing Strike as well.

“Roar... Roar...”

However, Ji Ye then turned his Yin and Yang Sutra to full blast, and his True Qi poured out like rolling water.

Although the transcendent power of the Snow Spear was able to quickly froze most of the palm energy, it couldn’t stop the gushing utmost Yang True Qi.

Crack!

In the end, the ice dragon formed by the energy was shattered.

The pressure even turned the Snow Spear itself to be as curved as the Radiant Gold Bow. Had it not been for the protective Power of Dragon Valiance, the Snow Spear, which was on the fragile side, could have suffered from similar damage as when Zhao Yun tried to withstand Guo Jing’s direct attack with the spear.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun backed away without hesitation.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Because two enormous shadows were already above Ji Ye.

It was Li Yuanba with his Long Gold Hammers. He had jumped off a tall rock on one side of the beach, and in the golden light, his emaciated figure was growing larger together with the two hammers in his hands.

He then smashed the hammer down at Ji Ye’s head.

Boom! Boom!

The Long Gold Hammers were formidable weapons.

As they grew larger in size, their weight would increase accordingly. Together with Li Yuanba’s golden body, which had grown to over 2m tall, one could only imagine what impact the hammers would have.

Ji Ye had just activated a great amount of inner strength to defeat Zhao Yun’s ice dragon, and it was too soon for him to activate his full strength again.

He had to block the hammers that weighed over several tons now with his bare hands. For a moment, he was losing his ground.

Li Yuanba was only an Extraordinary Rank-8 at the moment, whereas Ji Ye was an Extraordinary Rank-9.

Not only was Li Yuanba challenging a man of a more advanced level, but it was also a man who was strong enough to fight several top heroes all at once.

One had to admit that Li Yuanba’s “elephantine strength” was rather terrifying.

“Ha!”

More importantly, Li Yuanba looked almost a little too excited.

He was breathing steam out of his nostrils as his bony arms pressed the hammers down with all his strength. He really hadn’t spared any effort.

One couldn’t help but wonder if he wanted to “accidentally” kill the only man he had to take orders from on this island.

Crack!

However, while Li Yuanba was filled with excitement, he suddenly heard the sound of cracking ice nearby.

The energy frozen by the Snow Spear earlier had finally broken free. It then turned into a dragon and smashed into Li Yuanba’s back.

Dragon-Subduing Strike: Highlight Dragon’s Shame!

A normal strike couldn’t withstand the Snow Spear’s ability, which was why Ji Ye had fused some Dragon Aura into his True Qi just then.

The dragon-formed energy then struck Li Yuanba from behind.

Even his formidable strength couldn’t withstand such an attack. The impact made him stumble away.

Luckily, Li Yuanba was in the Ten Feet of Gold state.

Anyone else on the island would have been severely injured by that strike.

However, even though Ji Ye might have defeated Li Yuanba, he didn’t have time to teach the defiant teenager a lesson for his attempt to kill the master of the island.

Because another shadow had arrived.

It was a giant mound nearly 3m in diameter, and someone had just thrown it at Ji Ye.

“Roar!”

Realizing who it was, Ji Ye spared no effort.

Concentrating his True Qi on his palms, he used the most destructive stance of the Dragon-Subduing Strike—Dragon Fighting in the Wild.

Boom!

The energy completely destroyed the mound.

However, right behind the Mountainous Mark, Lu Zhishen wasn’t repelled like Zhao Yun was.

Instead, he held a staff that had a Buddha’s head on one end and struck down at Ji Ye.

Crack, crack...

Ji Ye raised both hands and blocked the Frost Metal Meditation Staff that was as thick as an adult forearm.

Instantly, a yellow glow covered his arms, and for the first time during this battle, his feet sank into the sand.

The players weren’t the only ones who had been progressing, the heroes were progressing too.

Being the first hero of the Twin Dragon Mount, Lu Zhishen had received almost as many resources as Ji Ye.

At the moment, his aura had reached Extraordinary Rank-9.

He had also purchased some Perfect Ten-Thousand Year Frost Iron Essence in the City of Humans, which he had used to forge a new 400kg metal staff. With it, he was able to exert his complete strength.

With the enhancement provided by both the Mandrill gloves and the Mountainous Mark, even Ji Ye couldn’t easily withstand a direct attack.

“Roar!”

Without hesitation, he started burning his Flood Dragon Blood, and the Dragon Aura fused into his arms, which then gave off a yellow glow that could petrify anything it made contact with.

Together, they were able to stop Lu Zhishen’s metal staff that had activated its Mountainous Mark.

“Roar!”

However, while the standoff with Lu Zhishen’s metal staff lasted, a tiger roared; the sound even disturbed Ji Ye a little.

Wu Song jumped into the battlefield from one side with his Tiger Soul Saber aiming at Ji Ye, whose feet still sank into the sand.

Unlike Ruan Xiaoer’s strike that had split the water open, Wu Song’s strike looked rather ordinary.

Nothing magnificent happened. Even the soul of the tiger in the saber didn’t show itself.

But Ji Ye looked alarmed.

It meant that Wu Song’s Extraordinary Rank-9 saber technique had reached the Flawless stage. He was able to concentrate all his power on the saber without letting any of it escape.

Lu Zhishen, who had reached Extraordinary Rank-9, could crush bones with a casual strike from his 400kg metal staff.

But Wu Song, who was also an Extraordinary Rank-9, had turned his saber into a lethal weapon.

Most of the Water Margin heroes were good at fighting on the battlefield. Therefore, they mostly focused on physical strength or speed rather than techniques or skills.

But Wu Song was an exception.

“Jade Ring Steps, Lovers’ Feet” was a highly skillful technique, not to mention that his saber itself was already of an advanced level. He had even purchased a saber manual from the City of Humans that suited him perfectly.

It was obvious that he had reached the Flawless stage.

The strike didn’t seem all that aggressive, but the power it contained was several times that of Ruan Xiaoer’s strike.

Together with Wu Song’s talent, even the endless inner strength from Ji Ye’s Flawless Yin and Yang Sutra wasn’t enough to protect himself.

The two Perfect Extraordinary Rank-9 heroes had attacked at the same time without holding back, and for the first time in this battle, Ji Ye faced a “death threat”.
