Free Web NovelChapter 1279: Chapter 435 Yama Emperor_4
He first broke the Triple Eon Asura Blade, then the Void Refining Octal Blade.
How could this not prove that his swordsmanship is stronger than Qin Zhizhen’s knife skills?
Initially, what he relied on were the Astray Path and the Voice Broadcast Immortal Style, which the opponent did not know.
His current aggressive demeanor seems even more fearless; it’s as if he is holding the initiative, hence the audacity to charge forward recklessly.
Even if Qin Zhizhen could glimpse a flaw in his moves, he couldn’t help but wonder, is it a trap?
There is a saying that "things should not be done thrice," and yet he has already suffered twice in the duel of sword against blade!
Evading the sharp edge is not a sign of losing vigor; would one still seek close combat and gamble with life and death, knowing the prowess of Dou Zhao’s Seven Forms of Battle?
Moreover, he has already established the Yama Palace in the void, with the Yama Palace evolving to this critical stage. He only needs to grasp the final phase to enjoy a secure victory.
No need for close combat anymore.
From Qin Zhizhen’s perspective, his choice is certainly faultless.
To many observers, it appears the same.
But only Jiang Wang himself knows best.
Compared to Qin Zhizhen, who has activated the Five Mansions simultaneously and mastered Ultimate Knife Skills, his swordsmanship should be his weakness.
In fact, it truly is.
In terms of power and technique, he is indeed inferior.
But in actual combat, he turned close-quarter combat into Qin Zhizhen’s weakness!
A mistaken consensus is still a consensus.
Therefore, he could relentlessly press forward, forcing Qin Zhizhen to continuously evade, desperately avoiding close combat.
On one hand, it is certainly because he is operating the Yama Palace, aiming for a steadier victory. On the other hand, it’s also a sign that he is no longer confident when facing Jiang Wang’s sword!
The Qin Zhizhen who once said, "My fist is the ultimate in this realm, and my blade is even above my fistsmanship," after his Triple Eon Asura Blade was broken and the Void Refining Octal Blade returned fruitlessly, has now admitted Jiang Wang’s sword may indeed be stronger.
At the Wei River, the words of that inheritor of the Ancient Flying Sword—
"As for being the foremost of the Inner Mansion in the world, I only recognize Jiang Qingyang of Qi Country!"
Accompanied by that sword that illuminates heaven and earth, those words have already made a deep impression in his heart.
And in today’s battle, they are being carved even deeper with every stroke of the sword.
Engraved into his heart!
Of course, Qin Zhizhen is certainly not someone who cannot face reality. It’s not completely unacceptable that someone in this world might have better swordsmanship than his knife skills.
This also does not determine the outcome of the battle.
If Jiang Wang wants to fight an endless battle of attrition, he certainly cannot agree!
Since it seems impossible to shake him off, he might as well accept a slightly inferior outcome.
When Qin Zhizhen stepped out of the dark portal again, without hesitation, he slashed down the body of the Judge next to him!
His blade, black as night.
The horizontal and vertical slashes successfully severed the Judge’s left arm, and as the Book of Life and Death collapses, the blade cuts into the Judge’s body from the left side, intending to divide him in two.
But with this delay, Jiang Wang has arrived!
As Qin Zhizhen’s blade was halfway, he saw a cold long nail flying swiftly, embedding into the Judge’s right arm, the very arm that was holding the soul-hooking pen, which vanishes entirely!
Before the arrival of Yama’s Real Body, most attacks against the Yama Palace would be absorbed by it. However, the Boundless Wind that slays deities and annihilates spirits was one thing that couldn’t be contained by the Yama Palace.
Qin Zhizhen is deeply impressed by this Divine Wind of Jiang Wang.
Unable to completely finish off the Judge with his blade, he uses his horizontal and vertical slashes to carry the Judge and immediately steps back, disappearing into the void again.
Now, every bit of force that perishes will be reflected in the final phase of Yama’s Real Body. With White Impermanence annihilated, neither Black Impermanence, Oxhead and Horseface can absorb external forces, and neither does the Life and Death Judge have such an opportunity.
It’s foreseeable that the final phase of Yama’s Real Body will be unable to present its peak form.
Qin Zhizhen has naturally noticed Jiang Wang’s battle intent and knows that Jiang Wang wants to wear him down. But earlier, he still wanted to give it another try, wishing for the best possible result.
Now, however, he is facing reality, preferring to suffer some loss of strength in order to ensure the Yama Palace can smoothly evolve to the final phase.
Of course, he will also strive to minimize this loss as much as possible.
It’s a pity that the Yama Palace ultimately must operate in the present world; the "Judge’s" death must also occur in the present world, otherwise why bother with such trouble!
Qin Zhizhen, holding the Judge in hand, walks through the void, opening the rift to observe the present world. Just as he is about to step out, he suddenly sees a figure in a green robe stepping on clouds approaching and a hint of frost swirling between the fingers!
Despite the distance between the void and the present world, he certainly doesn’t care, but if he proceeds from this point, with such proximity, the Judge in his hands is bound to be skinned, greatly affecting the final state of Yama’s Real Body.
He swiftly turns and reaches another side, and just as he is about to step out, he suddenly finds the green- robed figure again!
Boundless wind spirals in midair!
Once is an accident, twice is "anticipated."
Qin Zhizhen’s eyes are as deep as water, carrying the Life and Death Judge as he moves again. Sure enough, before he even sets foot in the present world, the green-robed figure has already arrived, with the Boundless Wind blowing in.
Without a doubt, Jiang Wang already knows where he will emerge, thereby able to block the way in advance.
His opponent’s intention is also very clear: to keep blocking him in the void, until he has drained all his Divine Power, trapped to death in the void! ƒгeewebnovёl.com
But the question is...
How can the other party see through the space between the void and the present world and spy on his whereabouts?
Qin Zhizhen immediately thinks of Jiang Wang’s tremendous Spirit and Soul Power. After pondering all possibilities, there seems to be only this explanation...
