Free Web NovelChapter 1132: Chapter 608: Danger and Opportunity! Escape!
Facing Jiang Shu’s attack, for the first time a grave look appeared in the scarlet eyes of that Ancient Demon Image, clearly having sensed an immense threat from Jiang Shu.
The Broken Spear swept, laying down before it a tightly sealed black Domain of Annihilation.
"Boom!"
Countless halberd shadows stabbed into the Domain of Annihilation, erupting into a raging shockwave of energy that completely tore apart the distorted spatial fragments all around.
Puchi!
A figure wreathed in silver flame seized the instant gap within the Domain of Annihilation, successfully driving the Desolate Star Halberd once more into the great wound at its waist and flank.
The silvery Tao Fire clung like maggots gnawing on bone, frenziedly burning the dark-brown flesh within.
The Image let out an enraged howl of pain, sweeping the spear backhand; that avatar, along with several nearby mirages, was instantly smashed into silver motes of light.
The avatar shattered; the true body revealed.
Jiang Shu’s true body manifested directly in front of the Image; blood overflowed from his mouth and nose from the violent backlash of burning Tao Fire, yet his eyes were blindingly bright to a terrifying degree.
Seizing the moment when the Image was wracked with pain, its old force spent and new force not yet born, he suddenly stepped forward.
An invisible sonic boom of space, enough to shake souls and dissolve Laws, mixed with the aura of Taichu, blasted at close range onto that bronze mask-like face of the Image.
The soundwave ignored physical defenses, striking directly at its newly born and fragile Spiritual Wisdom.
The Image’s enormous body shuddered once more; the blood light in its eyes flickered chaotically, its movements showing a stiffness visible to the naked eye.
Now!
"Go!!!"
Jiang Shu roared toward Zhan Feng and the others; the silver-white Dao Flame erupted again, attacking madly without regard for anything, drawing all of the Ancient Demon Image’s attention completely onto himself.
He branded that bone-deep killing intent and pull onto it through the burning Tao Fire.
"All of you, follow me out!"
Zhan Feng’s eyes were bloodshot, his teeth almost cracking from how hard he clenched them, but he knew this was a chance Jiang Shu had bought with his life and absolutely could not be squandered.
He suddenly turned, slinging the near-death Yu Sha onto his back with one arm, grabbing the heavily wounded Lan Xi with the other, and shouted toward Zhan Yun, whose eyes were likewise red as she leaned on the Broken Spear, "Little Yun, lead the way!"
Zhan Yun forced herself to endure the burning pain at her ribs and her exhausted Mana; her gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield and locked onto a rift where, due to the previous violent energy collisions, the Space Law had temporarily stabilized somewhat.
"Follow me, quickly!"
She was the first to charge out.
The few remaining Disciples who could still move supported one another, gritting their teeth as they unleashed every last trace of Power in their bodies, surging like a breached flood toward the direction completely opposite from Jiang Shu’s battle, fleeing for their lives.
Behind them was Jiang Shu—under that mountain-like colossal figure, his form seemed incomparably small yet incomparably dazzling, his solitary back drenched in the silver light-flames and blood sprayed out by burning Tao Fire and consumed Origin.
"Roar!"
The Venerable Level Image was completely enraged by Jiang Shu’s bizarre, frenzied, and unending assault.
The blood in its eyes gathered again, even deeper and colder, the chaos replaced by a chilling savagery.
The stiffness brought by that annihilating sound quickly faded, replaced by the ultimate fury of having been wounded by an ant.
It clearly branded this Human Clan, burning with silver fire and as vexing as a flea, into the depths of its soul.
He must be killed!
Its massive foot stamped down on the earth; the dark-red Crystal Stone ground shattered inch by inch like fragile glazed glass.
The Image’s titanic body erupted with a terrifying speed at odds with its size; that Broken Spear, enough to pierce through stars, tore the long sky, dragging a black trajectory of utter destruction as it thrust savagely at Jiang Shu.
With his Tao Fire burning, Jiang Shu’s perception was pushed to the extreme; the instant the Broken Spear locked onto him, he had already activated the Heart of Space. The space beneath his feet rippled like water, and his figure vanished from where he stood, reappearing as if merging into a current a hundred meters away behind another shattered stone forest.
Boom!
The black Broken Spear pierced his afterimage; the afterimage was annihilated in an instant.
The spear tip touched the ground, and the Crystal Stone earth within dozens of zhang around collapsed with a thunderous roar, then began to crumble and vanish, forming a bottomless pit whose edges flowed with ominous black light.
Having finished the teleportation, Jiang Shu spat out another mouthful of blood laced with shards of silver flame.
Every spatial jump was like tearing apart his fragile meridians and Divine Soul; the burning Tao Fire was ravenously devouring his foundation.
"Run!"
"Keep running!"
In this moment, Jiang Shu’s heart held no other thoughts.
He was like a desperado walking on the edge of a blade, driving the Space Law to its utmost limit.
His figure flickered and refracted again and again amidst the ruins; every place he appeared was exceedingly tricky and utterly devoid of pattern.
At times he borrowed force from a toppled colossal skeletal corpse to fly past; at times he skimmed the edge of deadly currents of chaotic Laws; at times he slipped into spatial folds shrouded in eerie mist.
Though this Image possessed the Cultivation of the Venerable Realm, its Spiritual Wisdom had only just been born, and its battle experience was not rich. Otherwise, with the massive gap in Cultivation between them, Jiang Shu would probably already have died under its hand.
The Venerable Image thundered with wrath.
Once its strike missed, it instantly locked onto Jiang Shu’s new position and pursued in great strides; every step it took made the earth quake and mountains sway. Vast swathes of space were forcibly solidified by the Venerable aura emanating from its body, attempting to interfere with the operation of the Space Law and slow Jiang Shu down.
A deep, almost tangible Annihilation Domain spread out around it; the space within the domain was like solidified black amber, and even Law Fragments drifting in from afar vanished the instant they entered.
