Chapter 1833 - 83: Lord Jixing’s Power (Part 2)
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t have the time to haggle with it, and agreed directly.
After all, he currently has quite a number of Spirit Stones on hand, all found within the Plague Relics. This one top-grade Spirit Stone was only about a tenth of his stock, which was acceptable.
Moreover, the Spirit Stone was given to Ni Yang, who was considered one of them. Though officially he was the Sect Leader and Ni Yang was the Guardian Sect Beast, in truth, they had long formed a mentor-friend relationship. Helping it recover quickly from injuries was something Zhang Xiaoman was very willing to do.
The agreement was rapidly reached, and the stone that had hung heavy in Zhang Xiaoman’s heart was finally set down.
With Ni Yang’s help, their Insect Queen should no longer pose a threat. Perhaps Blue White Clothes and his team should be able to get away smoothly.
Although the life and death of these people had little to do with him, making another friend meant another path. In the future, when he needed to collect materials or help others in the organization with the imprinting of Star Patterns, he couldn’t be without their assistance.
Now, making them owe him a favor would make it easier to reach out to them in the future.
Of course, doing all this was under the premise that it would not affect him. If any danger was involved, or if Ni Yang would suffer severe backlash, as it had before during its ten-year slumber, then it couldn’t be done.
Fortunately, after meticulously asking Ni Yang about everything, Zhang Xiaoman learned it had indeed recovered quite a lot. Even if it made one or two moves, it wouldn’t cause significant backlash, so he managed to relax.
Although both talked a lot, it was through Divine Thought conversation, so not much time had passed and the battle in the field continued.
"Hmm, that little one is out of strength—its Spiritual Power is exhausted, Qi-Blood decayed, and its mind is soon to shatter—likely won’t survive,"
Ni Yang said, twisting its mustache.
Just as if to confirm its statement, at that moment, the battlefield suddenly shifted.
Blue White Clothes abruptly released a massive burst of Spiritual Power, blasting at the Insect Queen, leaving it heavily injured, and then instantly took the opportunity to retreat quickly, breaking away from the Insect Race’s lines.
"Hoo... hoo... hoo..."
Blue White Clothes panted heavily, clutching his chest, unable to stop spitting out blood, staining that white vestment robe, looking frightful.
"How could it be... Ancestor!"
The Lan family members were horrified at this sight, didn’t expect their undefeated Ancestor to suffer such severe injuries.
As for the Insect Queen, though it was heavily injured in the end, its Spiritual Power remained vast, coupled with the surrounding insect swarm, followers sacrificing their flesh and blood, aiding its recovery. So within mere breaths, it had repaired its injuries.
"That Invincible God King... Has he really lost...?"
The allied forces expressed shock at the scene, the several Extraordinary Level Ancestors even appeared glum, feeling the shared fate of the fox mourning the rabbit’s death.
Compared to those juniors, they saw at once that Blue White Clothes likely exhausted his last bit of life force in the battle. Already sealed in slumber within the coffin for millennia, now just awakened and gone through several fierce battles, he dissipated what life force was left.
With similar experiences, there was an overwhelming sense of tragic bleakness and despair.
Even though Blue White Clothes had mastered the immortality of the flesh, before truly mastering deeper levels of the immortal, he ultimately couldn’t escape the end of death.
Like trees, seasons provided them cycle after cycle, but once their life span is exhausted, they won’t bloom again, leaving only barren trunks.
With Blue White Clothes’ retreat, the pressure on several Ancestors significantly increased, as the Insect Queen joined the battle, swiftly killing the two Ancestors from the Poison Clan and the Yuanxin Clan.
The remaining ones including Zi Kuang were heavily injured as they fled, escorting Blue White Clothes back to the alliance fleet, as Ni Yang had anticipated, the entire front line began to collapse with Blue White Clothes’ failure.
"Ni Yang, how much longer do you need? I feel they may not hold on much longer,"
Zhang Xiaoman asked via Divine Thought.
Ni Yang had withdrawn its external Divine Soul projection, currently spiraling within the Sect Leader Jade, as if accumulating energy.
Faced with Zhang Xiaoman’s inquiry, it had no answer, leaving the latter feeling anxious.
Fortunately, the gradually surging aura from the Sect Leader Jade reminded Zhang Xiaoman that Ni Yang was not idle, but continuously accumulating power.
"Lord Jixing,"
Yeluo returned to his side, and Zhang Xiaoman glanced at her state, still the same as at the start, showing no sign of injury.
Possessing the ability to rebirth, even if injured doesn’t matter; self-destructing restores everything to zero, except for spiritual power that doesn’t replenish, akin to loading a saved game file.
Currently, the insect swarms have entered a new wave of rampage; the Insect Queen engaged some ability, raising the combat power of its controlled insect swarm to a higher level.
"Lord Jixing, should we retreat?"
Yeluo asked carefully, yet with no response, as Zhang Xiaoman’s focus was entirely on Ni Yang, ignoring other matters.
Zi Kuang also arrived, grabbing Zhang Xiaoman’s arm to pull him away.
"Boy, hurry and retreat! Why are you still standing stupidly here? That peak realm Insect Queen is about to come kill you; I won’t be able to protect you!"
However, his pull didn’t move Zhang Xiaoman, whose body stood firm in the void, unshaken.
"Boy, you..."
Zi Kuang was shocked, turning his head, looking at him, startled by his state.
Ji Xing still appeared as the earlier Ji Xing, the Spiritual Power flowing in his body unchanged on the surface, seemingly no different.
Yet Zi Kuang was filled with uncertainty, because just earlier, turning his head, he glimpsed a vague phantom beside him, so brief it seemed an illusion.
But Zi Kuang knew, at his strength, such illusions shouldn’t occur; he was sure in that instant, the seemingly young man before him gave him a terrifying pressure.
It was a presence Zi Kuang couldn’t describe, like the world itself inherited by the individual before him, recalling this made him tremble.
"Ji... Ji Xing... How...?"
Instinctively, Zi Kuang opened his mouth, but said nothing, unaware his tone had subtly changed.
"Here it comes, here it comes!"
Unlike Zi Kuang’s shock, Yeluo was already aware of this existence’s true power; the brief revealing aura made her extremely excited.
She knew, Lord Jixing was about to act.
Waited for so long, played with these people for so long, Lord Jixing finally planned to reveal his true strength.
No, not his true strength, likely just part of it, for handling such Lower God-level foes, Jixing doesn’t need full power.
What a pity, yet no chance to see his full strength.
Thinking this, Yeluo was overwhelmed with enthusiasm, her twelve wings spread out fully behind her.
