Chapter 877 - Backup Arrived
Chapter 877: Backup Arrived
Jiang Wuhen knew how fast and strong the attack was just by listening to the sound, and could only turn quickly to block the attack. He wanted to use his skills to dissolve the True Qi in the sword, but in the face of such strength, his sword skills were completely useless. Amidst the crisp ringing, Jiang Wuhen’s whole body shook and he staggered backwards.
“Trash!” Jiang Wuhen yelled at the older man who had abandoned his sword just now. Wei Zhixuan quickly picked up the sword on the ground and regrouped with the rest, surrounding Jiang Wuhen once again.
Jiang Wuhen smiled bitterly. Although the Clear Wind Sword and Clear Wind Steps were exquisite, the difference in cultivation was still too great. If it were only Wei Zhixuan alone, he might have a chance to escape, but with his subordinates helping, his chances of escaping were practically nonexistent.
Jiang Wuhen did not give up though, rushing left and right to break out of the circle. However, the battle qi in his body had been greatly consumed, making the situation more and more difficult.
The more Wei Zhixuan fought, the more he was shocked. Even though the kid’s cultivation was only at the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle Stage, he was able to persist until now. He hadn’t been trying to kill him, but after all, the difference in their cultivation was big. Earlier, he had really underestimated the Su family, and didn’t expect their martial arts to be so strong. Fortunately, Jiang Wuhen only had the cultivation of the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage. If he had reached the realm of True Essence, it would be a bit tricky for him.
Wei Zhixuan was no longer in a rush to capture Jiang Wuhen. With the support of his subordinates, the young man couldn’t even dream of getting away, so he took this opportunity to study the sword play of the Su Family in case he faced a stronger opponent from their family. After all, knowing oneself and the enemy was surely the path to victory.
Wei Zhixuan’s timely reprieve let Jiang Wuhen catch his breath, and he finally got the chance to force his way out of the circle. There was no way Wei Zhixuan would let him escape so easily, and he attacked him again with all his strength. Jiang Wuhen’s cultivation indirectly proved his previous guess. Possessing this strength at such a young age meant this young man surely held a high status in the Su family. If he were to catch him, the Su family would no doubt yield to his demands.
That familiar sword howl rang out behind Jiang Wuhen again. Jiang Wuhen knew that in front of the opponent’s powerful True Qi, his sword arts were of little use. Thus, he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to try to block his attack.
When that tremendous force hit him, it was as if Jiang Wuhen had been struck by lightning. It felt like his internal organs were shaking, and his face was as white as a sheet. Inhaling raggedly, Jiang Wuhen forcefully flew forwards with his last bit of strength, heading towards the Golden Pill Sect.
“Hmph, if you could escape like this, wouldn’t I, Wei Zhixuan, have cultivated all these years for nothing?” Wei Zhixuan snorted and chased after Jiang Wuhen. He knew that Jiang Wuhen was badly injured and no longer had the strength to resist. As long as he was unable to escape into the mechanism and array formation, that was enough.
“Stop!” Just as Wei Zhixuan reached out to grab Jiang Wuhen, a thunderous roar sounded. A dignified old man stood between him and Jiang Wuhen. His robes swayed with the wind, and he had the look of someone from a prestigious family.
Only then did Wei Zhixuan realize that he had taken too much time to study Jiang Wuhen’s martial skills and footwork just now. During that period, the Su family disciples had gone back to report the matter and brought help.
Although he didn’t catch Jiang Wuhen as expected, Wei Zhixuan wasn’t worried. Now that he had some understanding of their martial skills and footwork, he was much more confident.
“Are you the clan head of the Su family?” Wei Zhixuan called out, seeing how Lu Chengfeng seemed to be of a high status.
