Chapter 5209: An unexpected move
Translator: 549690339
“She wants to end the battle quickly?” Duanmu Yu was startled. However, she was not surprised by this. Since she had already been exhausted in the last round, it would be impossible for her to fully recover even after two days of rest. This was especially true when she was facing a strong enemy. The only choice she had was to end the battle quickly.
In reality, it wasn’t just Leng Leng. Duanmu Yu was also thinking the same thing. She was facing the same predicament as Leng Leng. If she couldn’t think of a way to end the battle as soon as possible, it would be hard to say how the situation would develop in the future.
Bang! Bang! The two of them kicked out almost at the same time, but neither of them touched the other, because they were both aiming for the other’s most fatal points. This had nothing to do with each move’s Mingmen, but was a life for a life fighting style!
Everyone couldn’t help but take in a cold breath in unison, each and every one of them dumbfounded. Even if the outcome of this battle was directly related to the qualification to participate in the archaic trials, there was still no need to go all out, right?
Lingshan and the others felt their hearts skip a beat, even Lin Yi raised a brow. Luckily, the two didn’t really trade their lives for each other ‘s-they both pulled back at the last moment.
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the two immediately staged the same scene again. Everyone’s hearts suddenly jumped to their throats again. It was only when the two separated again that they relaxed. It was like a roller coaster.
“This isn’t good. If this continues, I’m afraid it’ll be the opposite of our strategy of ending the battle quickly.” Duanmu Yu looked at Leng Leng, who was charging at him again with a serious expression. He once again used the method of exchanging a life for a life to force her to retreat while secretly frowning.
She had no choice but to do this. Because she was afraid of the legendary ice-shattering physique, she did not dare to take Leng Leng’s attack head-on. Otherwise, even if she had protective true Qi, it would be gradually affected. Once her speed was limited, what awaited her would be a prison.
Therefore, she could only use this method to force coold to retreat. However, this would gradually develop into a battle of physical strength and true energy. The situation would be out of control soon. If the situation remained the same, she might not be able to hold back and it would really become a mutual destruction.
Seeing that Leng Leng was about to attack him again, Duanmu Yu changed his strategy. A withered leaf suddenly fell from his palm and his entire body disappeared. The bleak autumn atmosphere instantly swept over the entire scene. One falling leaf could tell the world of autumn.
“A good show is coming!” Everyone’s spirits were immediately lifted. According to Duanmu Yu’s previous habits, falling leaves in autumn would be followed by a mountain of leaves. The victor would be decided very soon!
Unexpectedly, at the same time, a bone-chilling cold enveloped the entire area. The source of this cold was Leng Leng.
“Drawing the ground as a prison?” Everyone was shocked again, and they looked at each other.”But I can’t even see Duanmu Yu’s figure. Even so, he’s still able to use the” ground imprisonment “technique. Moreover, the area it covers is so large. Isn’t it too exaggerated?”
“Even though it’s a trap, it’s a trap set for herself. Leng Leng is really going all out this time.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile at the situation. In theory,[ground prison] was only used when the target was locked on, but under special circumstances, it could also be used on Leng Leng herself like this. Her ice-shattering Constitution amplified this effect, and it was enough to expand the range of [ground prison] by several times. This way, even Leng Leng would get frostbites, but it wouldn’t be as serious as the average person.
No one understood what was going on, but for safety’s sake, Xin Yijie once again led the group back quite a distance. Everyone only stopped when they were almost at the shore, afraid that they would be accidentally injured by the cold painting on the ground.
Leng Leng’s surroundings were empty. Not a single person could be found within a hundred meter radius. However, everyone knew that Duanmu Yu was definitely hiding in this empty space, waiting for an opportunity to kill her in one strike.
But, where was she?
Everyone, including Xin Yijie, was trying their best to find Duanmu Yu’s figure. However, this was destined to be useless. Duanmu Yu had used it at least three times in the first four rounds. Unless she showed herself, even an early Aurous core stage expert like Xin Yijie would not be able to lock onto her position. If it was so easy to break through, falling leaves in autumn wouldn’t have become the trademark of spirit leaf sect.
Of course, Lin Yi was the only exception. Falling leaves in autumn could trick an early golden core practitioner, but it was too fake to trick someone at his level.
Unfortunately, Leng Leng wasn’t Lin Yi. If the others couldn’t detect Duanmu Yu’s location, she couldn’t as well. That was why she used this skill on herself. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to take such a risk.
“This coold is really strong!” Duanmu Yu secretly furrowed his brows as he watched this scene. She had indeed relied on falling leaves to conceal her figure. However, she could only hide from the other party’s perception. She could clearly feel that bone-chilling cold. In fact, because of the bleak autumn intent, she could feel it even more clearly than others. This bone-chilling cold could really kill.
This wasn’t strange at all. What truly surprised Duanmu Yu was that the might of “ground imprisonment” had actually increased to such an extent within three short moves. It had almost completely subverted her previous judgment!
During Leng Leng’s and Xue Jianfeng’s battle, she, Duanmu Yu, was definitely one of the people who had paid the most attention. After all, both of them were very likely to be powerful enemies that she would face in the future.
As the senior Sister leading the group in the leaf spirit sect, Duanmu Yu’s observation skills were definitely first-class. This was the basic requirement for joining the leaf spirit sect. Although she had only seen it once, she could already see that it was a trap.
Duanmu Yu was very clear that this was a powerful killing move that required the foreshadowing of the moves. The more foreshadowing, the more powerful it would be!
It was precisely because of this judgment that Duanmu Yu had been extremely determined to end the battle as soon as possible. Not only could he avoid the risk of overusing his true Qi and physical strength, but he could also restrain his opponent’s most feared technique, drawing a prison on the ground. It was killing two birds with one stone.
If it wasn’t for the fact that her [falling leaves in autumn] also required a certain amount of time to accumulate energy, Duanmu Yu would definitely have used it at the first moment. Of course, it was still within an acceptable range if she only exchanged three moves with her opponent. However, she didn’t expect that after just three moves, her [ground locking spell] had actually reached such a level of strength. It was even stronger than when she was fighting against Xue Jianfeng!
In that case, could it be that his previous judgment was completely wrong? Duanmu Yu’s confidence couldn’t help but waver. After all, all of her conjectures were based on the surface. To be honest, it was already not simple for her to come to such a conclusion after only observing it once. Unfortunately, she still didn’t understand the principle of drawing the ground as a prison.
The existence of the Icebreak aura was the foundation of drawing the ground as a prison. In order to leave enough Icebreak aura, it was naturally necessary to have enough moves as a Foundation. However, if the target was Leng Leng herself, who was the source of the Icebreak aura, why would there be a need for any moves as Foundation? (To be continued.) ”
