Free Web NovelChapter 1280: Chapter 435 Yama Emperor_5
Did he use some sort of imperceptible Spirit and Soul Power technique to leave a mark?
Could it be that the soul cloak had not been completely removed before?
This could also explain why his knife could be so easily parried earlier.
Standing in the void, Qin Zhizhen did not step forward, his gaze deep, as if looking through the void, staring directly at Jiang Wang.
While the Divine Power Light of the Five Mansions merged together, it instantly swept through his entire body, illuminating every muscle and bone, shining upon both seas within the Five Mansions.
His body radiated a brilliant light, yet...
He found nothing!
There was no strange Divine Soul Strength within his body.
What kind of Divine Soul Strength could escape the illumination of the Tianfu’s light?
Qin Zhizhen confirmed that his Divine Soul combat power was not as strong as his opponent’s, and thus he could not be certain whether he had truly "seen clearly."
For opponents with especially strong Divine Soul Strength like Xiang Bei and Jiang Wang, it was also unknown whether they had Spirit and Soul Power techniques beyond his understanding.
In the vast void.
Qin Zhizhen sighed softly.
This sigh, in the vacuum of space, could not make any sound at all.
He did not want to admit it.
But he had to acknowledge that he had no room to hold back against Jiang Wang.
Perhaps the Ancient Flying Sword Inheritor didn’t exaggerate; Jiang Wang was definitely one of the absolute top figures among the Inner Mansions of the world...
But not the strongest!
There can be only one strongest within the Inner Mansions, who was it named after, what was the strongest named after!
To the onlookers at the scene, they only saw that upon the vast Arena, Qin Zhizhen was nowhere to be seen, while Jiang Wang alone, with his sword, summoned the Buzhou Wind, stepping on clouds, moving swiftly and unpredictably.
He appeared to be incredibly graceful.
But it inevitably made people wonder—what is he doing?
One hiding motionless in the void, the other flying all over the place, what are they doing?
Only a few could speculate appropriately, and even fewer could see clearly that at this moment, Jiang Wang was trapping Qin Zhizhen in the void, consuming Qin Zhizhen’s Divine Power!
The stronger one was, the more frightening the realization.
For Jiang Wang, his technique was actually very simple, just imitating Lin Youxie’s Thought Dust, leaving behind a bit of Divine Soul Strength.
Of course, he couldn’t replicate Thought Dust, nor could he achieve the effect of Lin Youxie’s "As if heart bonds with dust." Even if Lin Youxie himself were setting up the Thought Dust, he wouldn’t be able to escape the illumination of the Five Mansion’s combined light. It would be more likely if Lin Kuang himself were resurrected!
Jiang Wang was able to avoid Qin Zhizhen’s insight simply because he did not place the concealed Divine Soul Strength on Qin Zhizhen’s body. Instead, when he used the Buzhou Wind to shatter the arm of the Life and Death Judge, he deposited the Divine Soul Strength onto the Life and Death Judge!
This was a blind spot under the light.
For Qin Zhizhen, it was hard for him to imagine that while Jiang Wang was fully intent on eradicating the Life and Death Judge, he would still expend effort to leave some sort of mark.
If he wasn’t using the Buzhou Wind with all his might, there would be no way to prevent him in time, let alone cause any damage to the Judge before being slain. However, if he was truly all in, since he was going to completely annihilate the Life and Death Judge with the Buzhou Wind, what was the point of leaving a mark?
Qin Zhizhen had not yet realized that he had been constantly elevating Jiang Wang’s strength.
Starting from the words left by Jiang Wang at the Wei River bank, to the continuous surprises Jiang Wang brought in this battle, the image of Jiang Wang’s strength had been constantly elevated in his mind.
It was precisely because of his incorrect understanding of Jiang Wang’s level of swordsmanship that he had given up on more possibilities for close combat. Also, because of his overestimation of Jiang Wang’s Divine Skills, he had missed out on continuing his search.
He did not believe that he could find the Divine Skills Jiang Wang had hidden.
He was not prepared to search any further.
He would consider the next battle in the future. For now, he was wholly immersed in this battle, aimed to win this utmost gratifying fight, to pluck the most sweet fruit of victory!
All people saw— fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
On the ancient Arena, the projection portal of Yama Palace appeared once again, and Qin Zhizhen, carrying the Judge, suddenly stepped out.
This was a new choice!
The arriving Jiang Wang flicked a finger, sending three Killing Life Nails shooting forth in the formation of the character ’品’.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Around Qin Zhizhen, an Iron Wall suddenly rose from the ground.
Instantly surrounding him on all sides!
It seemed as if it was isolating heaven from earth by its rules, blocking the advancing Jiang Wang from the outside.
This was the Divine Skill, Iron Wall!
It is a relatively common Divine Skill, but in the hands of Qin Zhizhen, it is far from mediocre!
Or rather, there have never been mediocre Divine Skills in the world, only mediocre people who were fortunate enough to acquire a Divine Power Seed!
It was an absolute defense Divine Skill.
Unlike the Star Wheel, which withstands lethal damage within a certain range.
Nor like the Thunder Sound Tower, which travels with the Divine Skill user, defending against the opponent’s attack while also not affecting the Divine Skill user’s own offense.
Iron Wall segregates friend from foe.
While forgoing the possibility of offense, it also boosts defensive capabilities in all directions.
In the hands of Qin Zhizhen, it truly achieved, "Wind cannot penetrate, rain cannot fall, knives cannot cut, and arrows cannot enter!"
He once used this Divine Skill within Yu Yuan, isolating Asura to cover the retreat of his comrades.
He also once built a combat room with the Iron Wall in the midst of thousands, enduring countless attacks, and forcefully slew enemy generals within their ranks.
Today, he was prepared to use this Divine Skill to create an opportunity for himself to restore the Yama Palace while facing the Yellow Sheri.
But Jiang Wang forced him to use it now!
Since the Iron Wall has been erected, he has no need to hold back any longer.
The Killing Life Nails with unmatched killing power, the Killing Life Nails that effortlessly penetrated the Swallow Thieves Dominate Body, the Killing Life Nails that forced Qin Zhizhen to dodge all over the place... indeed frightful and domineering, instantly nailed into the Iron Wall.
But they only penetrated halfway, unable to advance an inch further!
Inside the fortress formed by the Iron Wall, a terrifying aura began to spread.
Without a doubt, Qin Zhizhen must have already slain the Life and Death Judge within and was just waiting for the final stage of Yama Palace to arrive.
Once the Iron Wall recedes, the Yama Emperor will descend upon the Human World, sweeping across the earth!
