The angle of this sword light is quite tricky, and its appearance is extremely ruthless, appearing right after Jiang Xiaobai’s strike. In this situation, even if Jiang Xiaobai noticed it, he would not have the ability to resist it.
He simply couldn’t react in time, particularly because the sword was coming from behind him. Jiang Xiaobai would need to turn around to block it.
If he were to shrink back or surrender his stance now, he would still face endless attacks, never finding an opportunity to fight back.
But at this critical moment, Jiang Xiaobai unleashed all his body’s potential. While dodging, he threw something behind him.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding echoed, and the sword in the attacker’s hand shattered.
Jiang Xiaobai, too, was sent flying from the aftershock of the attack.
The assailant, taken aback, stared at the space in front of him. At the location where Jiang Xiaobai’s back was just moments ago, a gold seven-story pagoda was hovering in mid-air.
The Seven Treasures Pagoda!
Even though Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t activate the power of this relic, nobody said it couldn’t be used as a weapon, right?
He had thrown the Seven Treasures Pagoda in the moment of life and death. This relic, although Jiang Xiaobai could not activate it, was still potent. Even a late-stage Transcendent couldn’t shake it.
It was precisely this that saved Jiang Xiaobai from disaster.
He bought himself three seconds of time.
Only three seconds left!
“Damn it, how is this possible!” the man exclaimed, his face filled with shock.
Jiang Xiaobai had dodged a supposedly sure-kill strike. It was as if he was dreaming.
Mid-air, Jiang Xiaobai steadied himself, beckoned casually and the Seven Treasures Pagoda appeared in his hand. He then promptly stored this valuable object in his personal storage space.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned, a pause of one or two seconds. In the meantime, Jiang Xiaobai had already started his frantic escape.
The final three seconds passed in a flash, mission accomplished!
The moment he received the system notification, Jiang Xiaobai stuffed a handful of healing pills into his mouth and fled.
In a fair one-on-one fight, Jiang Xiaobai did not fear any late-stage Transcendent. He could stand his ground against the likes of Zheng Xiong, whose Sky Spirit sword had not yet unleashed its full potential. Furthermore, with his strength as a late-stage Yuan Infant, he could hold his own against most opponents.
He may not have a sure-kill move, but he was not weak.
However, the individuals that came this time were all significantly stronger than Zheng Xiong. More importantly, a two-on-one was not as simple as one plus one.
Hadn’t you heard of the straw that breaks the camel’s back?
Once the gap in power exceeds a certain limit, it can’t simply be compensated for with a Sky Spirit sword. Jiang Xiaobai was still lacking in many aspects.
As soon as time was up, he ran without hesitation.
Finally, the others came to their senses from the shock. The glamorous woman was seething with anger.
“Are you all waiting to die? Hurry up and chase!”
The Transcendents all felt a blow to their pride. They’d allowed Jiang Xiaobai to escape even though they surrounded him.
In an instant, a group rushed out, with only one goal in mind:
They wanted to capture Jiang Xiaobai, severely punish him, and obtain all his treasures.
They all knew that Jiang Xiaobai was able to resist for so long only because of his formidable sword. Without it, he was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.
Wei Guang was also alarmed. When he saw Jiang Xiaobai surviving the first attack, he knew things would be challenging.
Despite his incessant urging and attempts at a joint attack, Jiang Xiaobai still managed to escape. This gave him a bad premonition.
“Hmph, let’s see where you can run to. Unless you die, as long as you have any trace of breath, I can catch you!” Wei Guang sneered, chasing in the direction Jiang Xiaobai fled.
In the pursuing team, Gu beside Liu Dongsheng was also shocked. He found that he couldn’t see through Jiang Xiaobai!
Moreover, with his strength, he could only be defeated instantly by Jiang Xiaobai!
“The kid must have a great secret. It’s a pity that he’s the young master’s enemy, and I can’t spare him,” Gu muttered to himself.
At first, he planned to reveal Jiang Xiaobai’s secret, but it seemed unlikely now. They wouldn’t leave any survivors.
If such a formidable lineup couldn’t catch Jiang Xiaobai, they might as well go eat shit.
Gu was quite confident that Jiang Xiaobai was undoubtedly doomed this time.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai, at the forefront, knew they must have a way to track his breath. He didn’t have an immediate solution, so he had to flee as fast and as far as he could so he could recover as much strength as possible.
One thing worth mentioning was that the combination of Nine Revolutions Xuan Hong and the spirit pill was healing his injuries swiftly.
In just half an hour, Jiang Xiaobai felt that his strength had recovered by at least half. Although his recovery rate had slowed down after this point, it did give him a fair amount of battle strength.
If it weren’t for his teleportation technique, which allowed him to teleport through the air, he would have been blocked by this group long ago with his current state.
“I can’t keep going like this, I have to think of another way.”
Jiang Xiaobai thought to himself calmly.
What he needed most right now was to make the pursuers lose his scent, but that was impossible unless he died.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai stunned.
Although a person’s breath lingers after death, its origin dissipates. Jiang
Xiaobai was sure that his pursuers were tracking the source of his breath. Otherwise, his earlier attempts to teleport through the ground should’ve been sufficient to shake them off.
So, what if he played dead?
He still had a pill that could simulate death. He had created this pill himself when he had some spare time. He had never thought that it could come in handy, it seemed like his preparation had paid off.
“Let’s give it a shot. It’s better than not trying anything!”
Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth, charged into the mountain range, and burrowed deep underground. He swallowed a pill that could simulate death and kept an antidote in his mouth.
If things went awry, he could wake up immediately by swallowing the antidote.
After ingesting the pill that simulated death, Jiang Xiaobai immediately became immobile. His internal energy rapidly drained, and his skin took on a pale and lifeless glow.
The pill took effect instantly. Jiang Xiaobai was now stuck in chaos. Although he couldn’t move, he was still aware of his surroundings.
Just as the pill took effect, several figures landed on the surface above him..
