Chapter 903 The Third Day Of The Trial (4)
Indeed, Ji Yuan had the intention to camp around the Hunter Snow Black and he had pinned her on the black celestium wall with Xiang Li.
But barely had he decided on this, he could hear hissing sounds.
It was because several black raptors could be seen along the passageways.
The Hunter Snow Black hissed at Ji Yuan, “All the profound raptors… will be coming this way. If you don’t kill me now, you will…surely… regret it. Ha…haha…”
Ji Yuan was startled, “So fierce?!”
The Hunter Snow Black laughed coarsely and weakly from her injuries, “You are now marked by the profound mirror of darkness… and Woke Empress Rey Pugpatine will not spare you!”
Even as she had hissed this message, Ji Yuan had expertly sliced and exploded 2 black raptors around him, even sent a wave of sword bursts to explode against the exploding acid harmlessly away.
This was not as easy as it looked and required perfect timing, instinct and comparable profound power.
The Hunter Snow Black was startled that this Ji Yuan was such an expert sword cultivator.
Ji Yuan chuckled, “Don’t look at me like this. I can’t afford to have you die by these black raptors too.”
The Hunter Snow Black hummed coldly, “You won’t have the profound strength to last for even a few hours. And this trial will last for 2 more days.”
Ji Yuan grinned as he killed another black raptor that flashed at him, “We shall see and I love challenges like this.”
But he was lying of course; this Hunter Snow Black was actually right.
At the rate these black raptors keep coming, he probably would not be able to last even an hour!
These black raptors were all 6th rank profound beasts and not low level profound beasts!
“This Woke Empress Rey Pugpatine, who is she? And is she powerful?”
He asked as he killed two more black raptors.
The Hunter Snow Black laughed coarsely and she appeared to be more energetic when talking about her mistress, “The Woke Empress Pugpatine… is extremely powerful and she can crush you like a puny ant! And she is famous for saying 3 things!”
“Which is?” Ji Yuan asked as he finally killed off the last of the black raptors as he breathlessly stabbed Anyang into the ground for support.
The Hunter Snow Black hissed and laughed coarsely at the same time, sending Xiang Li to shake uncontrollable on the wall with her trembling laugher. “She is a genius in everything. If you ask her how she knows… she will tell you… I just know… I don’t know how I know… is it hard?”
Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes, “This is too exaggerating. You’re not kidding me, right?”
The Hunter Snow Black laughed even louder, “Worry about yourself first…”
When she had said that, 9 more black raptors had flashed into the passageways.
Ji Yuan was bleary eyed as he muttered, “This is endless…”
Then he sat down with an exhausted look.
The Hunter Snow Black hissed with great delight, “So… you are finally… giving up… because you have expended all your strength!”
Ji Yuan ignored her as he sat down to gather all his sword intentions instead.
Even though he may be exhausted but his fighting spirits still remained; he began to focus all his profound strength and sword intentions into his 9 divine swords to send them flying in all directions to attack the 9 black raptors.
At this moment, he did not have any profound strength left to use his more powerful sword domains anymore; his profound strength was literally bled to the death by these 6th rank black raptors which required him to use his full profound strength to penetrate their armors and to severe their soul core.
Anyang was now afraid: My lord, will you die?
Xiang Li was wailing: I don’t want big brother to die. Why don’t we flee first and live to fight another day…
Ji Yuan said weakly to them: I don’t think I can win the next time…
Xiang Li, Anyang: …
Ji Yuan had quickly dispatched the 9 black raptors but he was so exhausted that he had to close his eyes to conserve whatever little profound strength he had and he had also popped a replenishing profound pill too.
The replenishing profound pill actually had only a little effect as Ji Yuan was continuously exercising his sword intentions which also cost him his profound strength.
And also, profound pills are best used when not in combat as well.
Even as Ji Yuan had closed his eyes, more and more black raptors had once again turned up.
He had arranged his 9 flying swords like an array around him and he made sure that the black raptors were killed before they even had the chance to be close to him as he did not have the profound strength to wield even Anyang now.
What the heck?
There are more of these black raptors?
Ji Yuan wanted to endure as much as possible until the next trial or till he had no other choice but to flee from this place.
But at this rate these black raptors kept coming his way, he would not have the chance to even last till to the next hour…

Heng Wujian did not turn back to look for Ji Yuan.
It was because he feared that even Ji Yuan was now dead and he was killed by the Hunter Snow Black.
He saluted silently to Ji Yuan’s sacrifice and muttered a quick prayer to the Great Beyond Goddess for him, “Ji Yuan, you are indeed a hero. May your soul find peace in the bosoms of the Great Beyond Goddess.”
He had to continue his way, even though it was going to be a lonely path. But the path of cultivation has always been lonely, especially at the peak; even love ones are abandoned if they fail to reach the peak with the lonely cultivator.
𝔫𝑜𝗏𝖊𝗅𝗇𝓔xt.𝕔𝒪𝗆
Heng Wujian must now stand alone at the peak.
The burden of all his dead team members now rested upon his shoulders and it was extremely heavy.
But for the sake of the dead champions in his team that had sacrificed to bring him through to the next trial, he must persist till to the last and not be caught by the Hunter Snow Black.
Especially so in front of his Divine Consort Fu Rong who must be wishing for his success; only the top 6 champions in the final trial would be victorious and this would in turn lead to the great honor of their patron divine consorts as well.
He did not know that right now, his Divine Consort Fu Rong was flushed with anger as she said to the other divine consorts. “I have no champion that runs away in the face of dangers! This Heng Wujian is too detestable! The Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan on the other hand, is the hero of my heart… he has even managed to defeat the Hunter Snow Black twice!”
Elsewhere, all the divine consorts and the rest of the spectators were all discussing hotly and excitedly when they saw the fight that was between Ji Yuan and the Hunter Snow Black.
Instead of killing the Hunter Snow Black, Ji Yuan was now camping around her as he killed one black raptors after another that were all coming after him.
But they could see that Ji Yuan was so exhausted eventually that he had to close his eyes to sit down as he relied on his flying swords to kill and to keep the black raptors at bay.
It was as though the entire population of black raptors inside the black pyramid were all coming after Ji Yuan now.
Everyone was fearful for Ji Yuan now…
Even Destiny was trembling now and she was staring at the battle imagery silently: He won’t last any longer. Should I be intervening?
