Free Web NovelChapter 1480: Chapter 141 History 1-4
Understanding oneself is like comprehending the universe,
though the mysteries of the human body require a lifetime to explore, compared to cultivators of the same boundary, Jiang Wang can confidently say—he prevails in many aspects.
Only with such clear awareness and judgment of himself, at the same time understanding Zheng Fei, did he dare to face the retaliation of the Divine Skills of retribution, stabbing through the belly with one sword, colliding with the Heaven and Earth Lonely Island.
At the moment he was slashed apart, he floated in the air like a leaf falling from a branch, yet his hands had already pulled back the Longsword.
His body, still flying backward, suddenly paused in mid-air, using the momentum to flip. Like a Jiao Dragon turning, one sword raised the Ming Yue, and Sword Qi burst forth, as if stirred by longing.
With a single move of Lovers’ Swordsmanship, he directly slashed towards Yanzi!
Caught off guard, Yanzi was startled, and the Dao Technique she had prepared dissipated. Her figure flickered and turned into scattered afterimages, the flowing wind scattering... She had no courage to confront him head-on.
Her fear was deepening continuously.
Before entering the valley, the mountain-splitting sword from Jiang Wang had already made her tremble in fear.
From the start of the battle until now, she, the notorious Masked Demon, was chased away by Jiang Wang sword after sword, like herding cattle and sheep, already imprinted with fear.
She could completely feel Jiang Wang’s resolute killing intent, and this intent was most firmly validated by the deaths of Huan Tao and Li Shou.
Those dangerous forebodings were absolutely not in vain, her avoidance wasn’t cowardice; Jiang Wang truly wanted to kill her and indeed had the capability to do so!
She was just looking for opportunities.
The opportunity for a siege, the opportunity for a sneak attack, the opportunity to delay, and even the opportunity to escape.
Just like now, all she could do was retreat.
Jiang Wang had already anticipated the result, with a mere flick of the Longsword, a bright moon rose here while it set over there, naturally changing momentum, and once again crashing towards Zheng Fei.
If considering only combat power, Zheng Fei, bearing the retribution wound and lightly injured, should have been dealt with last.
Relatively intact in combat power, Yanzi should have been settled first.
But to Jiang Wang, this fearsome Masked Demon was nothing but a coward in this battle.
With mighty Divine Skills but lacking a mighty will.
Or perhaps, her line of mental defense had already been breached.
Compared to Wan E, the Butcher, and those decapitated, she, the Masked Demon, was indeed the most fearful for her life.
Rich in hidden treasures, her body technique was exquisite.
Yet, in a narrow path encounter, what mattered was "courage."
To Jiang Wang, in his already weakened state, Zheng Fei was the opponent he needed to prioritize dealing with instead.
Zheng Fei was the terrifying opponent!
His head-on clash with Zheng Fei certainly wasn’t to get slashed away; the supplement of "Knowledge" was what he sought.
He needed to know the current state of Zheng Fei, what changes there were in Zheng Fei’s strength, speed, and Divine Skills.
He was willing to take the risk for this.
At this moment, Zheng Fei’s eyes glowed with bloodlust, his face ferocious. The fat on his body gradually took on a blood-red hue, his aura brutal and insane, as if entering some kind of vicious state.
He brandished the knife towards Jiang Wang, the posture resembling a butcher cleaving pork bones, both violent and precise.
Killing was merely a game, too simple and too natural a thing.
With this slash, he only wanted to find joy.
He didn’t care about others; he just wanted to know if he was happy!
Between life and death, he sought nothing else.
This was his Dao!
Carrying the Tao Path, separate from the Outer Building, with "joy".
The light from the four Saint Towers of the distant Star Vault spilled into the chaotic stone valley, bathing Zheng Fei’s body.
The Anger Secret Technique silently disintegrated, and the Hell of Five Senses was completely shattered by the starlight.
This blade pursued the Dao, forbidding Jiang Wang from escaping.
Jiang Wang indeed didn’t plan to escape.
He even collided forward, meeting head-on. His eyes were calm, as if he was willing to join Zheng Fei in death. As the blade edge reached his face, he simply turned his head aside!
Swish!
The blade edge grazed past his cheek, directly slicing off his right ear.
Jiang Wang seemed unaware of the pain, and as he turned his head, he had already advanced, crashing into Zheng Fei’s reach with incredible force, once more stabbing into his belly!
Zheng Fei’s formidable body instantly stiffened!
Falling straight to the ground!
His Heaven and Earth Lonely Island suffered another severe blow!
A lone ear for a Tao Path blade. One sword killed the Heaven and Earth Lonely Island.
Equivalent exchange was not a principle of Jiang Wang’s combat, so as Longing pierced the abdomen, it flashed like lightning through the air, the sword light rapidly flickering.
In the tumultuous state of Zheng Fei’s Five Mansions Sea, it severed the muscles in his arms and right foot!
Zheng Fei attempted to forcibly reconnect with Path Origin, but Jiang Wang’s Sword Qi followed precisely, slicing and tearing those Path Origins apart.
With the Five Mansions Sea disrupted and limbs’ muscles severed, Zheng Fei could only fall heavily to the ground.
Affected by the Divine Skills of retribution, Jiang Wang was almost stuck to him, falling alongside him.
This was an incredibly risky choice.
It had been this way from the very beginning.
If Zheng Fei’s blade had deviated by an inch, or if he had dodged a moment too late, that slash wouldn’t have just cut off his right ear but would have split open his skull.
What kind of confidence and courage was needed to turn one’s head in the face of a direct strike?
Stabbing into the Heaven and Earth Lonely Island was an adventure attempted once before.
The sword light slashing towards Zheng Fei’s hands and feet was much more difficult and dangerous. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Just relying on a few exchanges, he probed the retaliation strength of the Divine Skills of retribution. With Zheng Fei’s meat armor already broken, he controlled his attacks to exactly disable Zheng Fei’s limbs while the counterforce wasn’t enough to completely cripple his own limbs—
What kind of precise control did this require?
A slight misjudgment or incorrect control of strength, and it wouldn’t just be Zheng Fei lying on the ground.
Yet even with such perfectly executed swordplay, most of his own limbs’ muscles were actually severed, sustained forcibly by the Path Origin.
