Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Savage Jiang Xiaobai
Translator: 549690339
Seeing the gallantly dashing Jiang Xiaobai with a sword in hand charging at them, the two were taken aback.
They had already had a taste of how formidable Jiang Xiaobai was, and now with a powerful sword more potent than a god-tier weapon aiding him, they could not afford to take any chances.
They hurriedly tried to halt, but before they could even set up a defense, Jiang Xiaobai was already upon them. His speed was simply too astounding.
Clang!
The brutally ruthless swipe of his sword echoed fearsomely in the air, like the tolling of a death knell, chilling to the bone.
In the moment when they experienced the terror-inducing power in the sword’s glow, goosebumps erupted over their bodies, and a shiver ran from their feet straight to their minds.
They were both thinking the same thing.
Holy crap!
Bang!
The explosion echoed in the air, and two figures were sent hurtling back, forcibly snapping several towering trees in half before they finally came to a stop.
Given that they were both in the initial stage of Transcendence, even if they were caught off guard, their combined full force was enough to parry the blow.
But even with the parry, they both coughed up blood. The droplets of blood traced a glistening arc in the air.
“Damn…how can this boy be so strong?” one of the Transcendence-stage experts exclaimed in utter shock.
If they had not worked together, they could have been instantly beheaded by Jiang Xiaobai’s attack.
For a while, they both gazed at Jiang Xiaobai cautiously, treating him like a formidable adversary while their spiritual energy and swords at the ready.
They dared not lower their guard for fear of losing their lives.
At this point, both of them were warily focusing on Jiang Xiaobai, not daring to attack him for the time being.
But Jiang Xiaobai would never give them such a chance. In his understanding, the best time to strike was when the enemy was down.
“Take this, you old dogs!”
With a howl, Jiang Xiaobai’s body emanated a sky-reaching sword aura, charging straight at the duo, simultaneously wielding his Yuanyang sword which sent out blood-colored sword energy.
The sword energy seemed to be filled with tiny stars.
Nine Heavenly Stars Sword Art!
The fully realized Nine Heavenly Stars Sword Art was several times more powerful than its previous level, and it was with this art that Jiang Xiaobai had previously defeated Gong Shuier.
Having now ascended to the initial stage of Transcendence, dealing with these two would be a piece of cake.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaobai was back in front of the two, slashing fiercely with his sword.
“Let’s work together and stop this boy!”
One of the Transcendence-stage warriors bellowed, and the duo reciprocated by aiming their swords at his Yuanyang sword in a combined attack.
Boom!
The terrifying collision set off shockwaves that deafened the ears, creating a mushroom cloud of energy in the sky.
All three were thrown back simultaneously.
Blood gushed from the corner of Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth, emphasizing to him the severity of the situation. He forcefully swallowed the blood back down.
“To defeat two Transcendence-stage warriors at the same time, even after reaching Transcendence myself, is still a bit of a stretch.”
That last clash made his internal organs shake. If it weren’t for his ascended status, the clash might have left him severely injured.
A strategy that injured the enemy a thousand points while harming oneself eight hundred points.
“But this is enough. Even if I can’t eliminate them, they won’t dare to actively pursue me anymore,”
With a secret cold snort, Jiang Xiaobai flipped his wrist, and his Yuanyang sword swung out, leaving a blood-red trail in the sky.
With the Yuanyang sword in hand, he pointed it toward the two in front of him.
“If you dare to chase me, you shall pay the price!”
“Even if I can’t kill you today, I will make sure you leave something behind. Or else you might think I have no more moves left!”
With Jiang Xiaobai’s roar, he dashed forward again with his ghostly agility, appearing before them in a blink of an eye, his Yuanyang sword jabbing straight toward them.
This attack, brimming with terrifying power, was akin to a furious slap from Jiang Xiaobai. As the sword was unsheathed, the stars in the sky seemed to illuminate the sharpness of his intention to pierce the heavens, sweeping down upon the duo powerfully.
Feeling the terrifying power of this attack, both of them nearly broke down crying.
Even though Jiang Xiaobai was also injured in the hard fight, the injuries they sustained were worse!
Jiang Xiaobai’s attacks were simply monstrous. Who else at the initial stage of Transcendence possessed such horrifying aggression?
If the two of them had not desperately resisted and secretly pulled out lots of their trump cards, they might have been killed by Jiang Xiaobai in a few rounds of fighting.
Let alone if they had to face him one on one!
Boom!
The clash erupted once again, the three figures immediately retreating. As Jiang Xiaobai regained his footing, however, he charged again, fighting as if his life depended on it.
In an instant, both the Transcendence-stage warriors were under attack before they had the chance to spit blood.
This continued for several more rounds, leaving the two of them crying out in misery. Not only that, the weapons in their hands were also fractured, soon to shatter apart.
The Yuanyang sword wasn’t an ordinary spiritual treasure. Even though only a tenth of its celestial seal had been unlocked, it was beyond any common weapon.
If these two had not attached their spiritual power to their long swords when defending, their weapons would have shattered instantly upon contact.
Bang, bang, bang!
Jiang Xiaobai launched an attack again, the speed of which was so fast that he struck three times in an instant. Each strike was terrifyingly powerful, forcing the duo to spit out blood and retreat.
“Humph, have you realized your mistake yet?”
With a sneer, Jiang Xiaobai pursued them again, and with a strong swing of his sword, there was a cracking, shattering sound. The swords in the hands of the duo finally shattered into fragments and scattered in the air.
Devoid of their weapons, the duo were even more terrified.
What the hell were they fighting for?
Without a second thought, both of them turned around and fled.
But Jiang Xiaobai was relentless. You think you could just involve me in a chase, and run when you can’t win?
He followed right behind, and was even faster than the two.
“Damn it, why are you chasing us like a mad dog?” One of them yelled in fury as he fled.
“Who asked you to chase me first? Did you really think I couldn’t fight back? Do you think too highly of yourselves?”
Jiang Xiaobai responded with a cold laugh as he sped up, and quickly appeared beside one of them.
Clang!
The sound of Yuanyang sword cutting through flesh resonated.
He easily severed one of them at the shoulder in a clean, smooth cut. It instantly began to gush out blood.
“Ah! You dirty bastard! I’ll make sure you die!”
The Transcendence-stage man couldn’t bear the humiliation and quickly produced a talisman, flinging it towards Jiang Xiaobai.
Boom!
The sky immediately filled with the echoing sound of thunder, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a thumb came crashing down on Jiang Xiaobai!
