Chapter 1855: Formless Wind
Chapter 1855: Formless Wind
The crowd was in shock over Clara’s abilities, gawking at her transparent domain that was colorless, almost invisible, while the Mandate Emperor, Evelynn, and the few others who personally knew her nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
Jambei struggled to stand up, but it looked like he couldn’t at the moment. However, his focus was on Clara’s charming purple eyes.
Although her words sounded overbearing, her eyes didn’t seem to have any hostile intent behind them.
“Don’t call me by my name as though we’re close.” Clara uttered with a bit of emotion, “Words are important, and names are even more. You are not worthy of calling me by my name.”
“Haha… you said that three times, making me really want to win over you…”
Jambei straightened his back as he bellowed, “Break!”
Instantly, the forceful suppression around him faded as the wind surrounding him overwhelmed it. No, it could be said that his entire figure became formless, looking as though it phased out of existence but still there.
“I am one with the wind. It is difficult to catch me, no matter what the law you use may be, as I slip through the material and even the five senses to varying degrees.”
A prideful voice echoed, causing Clara to look at his faint green-robed silhouette in astonishment, making her feel that he was similar to a spirit who could phase out as needed.
The Ascending Path Sect sighed as they saw their top disciple come out of Clara’s suppression.
However, they weren’t scared of him losing. Instead, they were afraid that he would give up as he did so many times in the past out of pure boredom. However, it looks like he finally looked at a person eye to eye and even wanted to court her.
“So cool. Is this how I would look if I had that physique?”
In the Alstreim Family’s seating area, Diana looked entranced by Jambei’s moves that countered her elder sister’s.
“Unfortunately, you don’t have it, so don’t be day daydreaming and instead, work hard as a brother told us that physiques matter, but if they don’t use it well enough, then it is good as useless, just like if we don’t make use of our potential and extend it consuming resources.”
Edward spoke from the side, causing Diana to pout at him.
“I’m trying… but I can’t seem myself reach that level…”
“Diana, you don’t have that physique, but you still train in illusions. You can use that to your advantage to display similar effects.”
“Controlling two laws at the same time isn’t as easy as you think. I revere brother for being able to control and improve Fire and Lightning at the same time. On the other hand, my illusion prowess is slowly becoming useless when compared to my wind prowess as I’m not making further improvements in Illusion Laws.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Edward shrugged, “There will be a day when you make improvements in Illusion Laws. Just ask brother if you want help, that is, if you are able to swallow your pride and ask for more resources than what you are allotted by his magnanimous nature.”
“No, we should stop depending on brother for almost everything.
“True, or perhaps, if you marry this Jambei, maybe you can comprehend his wind-“
“Edward, do you want to die?”
Diana interrupted Edward as she looked at him with wide eyes. It caused him to wryly smile.
“You still love him?”
“I do.” Diana nodded.
“Well, I doubt he is still saving his first time for you. Chances are that he already made love with someone else as men are innately horny creatures… uh, as described by brother.”
To his wry smile, Diana looked confused.
“That… would not happen… He promised…”
“Promises are not invulnerable… It can be broken, so what happens if he did break it…?”
“Then…” Diana bit her lips, “I will kill him, cry for some unknown days and move on. That is the price he has to pay for making me wait.”
“Well said.” Edward nodded his head, “As your little brother, I don’t want you to be sad. Let me do the killing if the time ever comes…”
“Mhm…”
Like Diana, Fiora was also in awe of Jambei’s wind prowess. However, she wasn’t that awed as she had her own thoughts on it. It was lacking in destructiveness like hers, and perhaps, that’s why it was so elusive.
*Boom!~*
Yang energy seared the air, making it spread into yang flames that exploded on Drake and Ulyzen!
Everyone who watched the projections understood what was going on, but it wasn’t the same for the participants who were bombarded with essence energy attacks from all sides.
“Don’t underestimate them.”
“I won’t.”
Niera advised Sophie, who then answered with a sharp expression on her face. Against the four Perfect Domain opponents they were facing, two of them were water-attributed, and the other two were earth-attributed, all highly proficient in defense.
However, they held their ground in mid-air and kept them above the crevice, equally pressured as they maintained the status quo.
Kara Moonridge faced Kritika, both of them easily dodging each other attacks as though they were slippery as snakes. When the icy attacks approached them, they bent or twisted their waists, easily dodging the strikes at the last moment. It was like a dance appropriated for the crowd, making them charmed as much as they enjoyed their ruthless and icy yin strikes.
Mu Bing’s hands were tied with Hayou Azureclaw. His claw strikes came off as an immense surprise to her as it was able to cleave her icy barriers, looking powerful enough to dismember her. However, once she revealed her five-kilometer icy domain, he was unable to cause much damage as he appeared to only have a four and a half-kilometer domain.
Clearly, she was powerful than him under the same level, but with five of her Mystic Ice Sect maidens struggling with ten opponents, she had no choice but to occasionally launch an attack to save them, which would give Hayou Azureclaw enough time to strike back at her.
Esvele, on the other hand, revealed her Perfect Domain. However, she encountered the same situation while fighting the thirteen Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Experts with Supreme Domains, having to save her fellow disciples from time to time. However, Verona Stein, who once saw herself as the rival of Shirley, suddenly revealed her Perfect Domain, which turned the tides.
But suddenly, five youths from the thirty who left to deal with Logan, Claire, and Nora returned, attacking them, putting the situation back to a stalemate again.
Things happened so fast! However, they had all one thing in common.
That is… they were not in any hurry because they believed that only one of them would have to win for this battle to tip into their total advantage. Ironically, the other party thought the same and pulled their punches when needed, effectively prolonging their battle. Only Drake Blackburn and Ulyzen seemed to be not pulling their punches as they fought, the former easily gaining an advantage over the former.
“Damn you!”
Ulyzen bellowed as he was sent flying by the forceful explosive punch filled with yang energy. It punctured his domain, almost cracking it while his chest was had a dent, appearing as though it caved from impact. He quickly regained balance and blazed with overwhelming yang energy, becoming more powerful by the second.
“Haha! You’re going to sacrifice your blood essence? Even then, you’re still not going to match up to me!”
Drake Blackburn laughed and launched himself at Ulyzen.
“You think I’m going to let you gather energy?”
The latter’s scalp turned numb, having to quickly dodge or face a possible defeat in an instant.
He decided to dodge and shot away with an extreme speed when explosive yang might rush past him in utter speed, almost causing him to have become heavily injured if he had stayed.
*Pui!~*
His expression twisted before he forcefully clenched his teeth. However, he ended up coughing out blood from his mouth as the backlash arrived from failing to properly use the blood essence. Nevertheless, he felt that regretting it should come later and turned around to look when a punch landed right on his cheek.
*Bang!~*
The resulting explosion of the punch sent him curving in an arc towards a crevice which would eliminate him if he fell into the depths!
The people who had their eyes on this battlefield couldn’t help but notice this as their scalp turned numb!
Does this mean the other side had an advantage over them despite having the smaller number!?
