Chapter 166 Grandmaster, Ji Canghai! The Unburdened Hu Wei
Chapter 166 Grandmaster, Ji Canghai! The Unburdened Hu Wei
The two armies charged at each other.
Yue Shan's army formation conjured a giant, long, illusory spear, which fiercely slashed towards Hu Wei's Tiger Army formation.
The strength of a force can be discerned from the size of its formation and the solidity of its illusory figures.
With a single blow, Hu Wei's Tiger Army formation shattered in less than three breaths.
What followed was that the hundreds of people who had set up the formation all coughed up blood and flew backward.
Even Hu Wei was forced to retreat in a sorry state.
Yue Shan remained calm and did not pursue, but continued to control the army formation to strike.
At that moment, Hu Wei suddenly turned and fled.
It should be understood that this action was tantamount to openly abandoning his personal guards.
Under normal circumstances, a general would not do this.
The personal guards were the people he trusted most, and the most elite soldiers he could command at will.
Hu Wei and his hundred-plus men were all brought from Yunzhou by him.
Those were his own brothers who had been with him for at least five years, and many of them were even young and strong men from his village.
Even Yue Shan found it unbelievable.
Previously, Hu Weineng went on a crazy attack on the Rock Bear tribe for the sake of his good brother Lin Xiu in the village, and even chased after a bear woman alone.
In addition, Hu Wei, as a child, ventured alone into the mountain stronghold, risking his life to kill the bandits who had slaughtered his village.
It is evident that Hu Wei is a man of loyalty and righteousness.
But at this moment, he abandoned his brother.
Yue Shan felt utterly contemptuous and swung his sword fiercely across the room.
Deprived of the protection of the army formation, Hu Wei's personal guards could only roar as they watched the long spear descend.
Subsequently, Yue Shan's army formation dispersed, and over a hundred elite soldiers charged out.
In less than a minute, Hu Wei's personal guards were all wiped out, leaving only Hu Wei to flee.
Yue Shan hesitated for a moment, then chose to give chase, because Ji Canghai was still blocking their way, and he was sure he could achieve great things this time.
He also has things he has to be ruthless about.
Hu Wei has blocked his path to avenge his parents, and he can no longer let Hu Wei cause trouble.
Hu Wei, Yan Wang, and the others were extremely nervous.
They feared that Yue Shan would not pursue them.
If Yue Shan maintains his military formation and refuses to engage in battle, but instead gradually advances, he will let Hu Wei go.
Then they would have to face Yue Shan, who was in full military formation.
Once Yue Shan's army is in full swing, his strength is not to be underestimated. Even if he and the judge attack together, they may not be able to break through Yue Shan's army in a short time!
As the number of soldiers in Yue Shan's army increases, and even Xu Tianyi's soldiers seem to be able to buff him, then they will either be defeated or even surrounded and killed.
But the result doesn't require much waiting.
Yue Shan hesitated for only a moment before giving chase.
Yama and the others were overjoyed and became extremely alert, silently gathering their strength within their bodies.
In order to catch up with Hu Wei, Yue Shan had already used the technique of "Thousands of Troops Repelling Each Other", transforming himself into a terracotta warrior and charging towards Hu Wei.
When Hu Wei saw him chasing after him, he became determined. He looked up and saw that Ji Canghai had already jumped up from the ground to intercept him.
He sneered inwardly. A mere peak Grandmaster dares to be so arrogant. Even if he is injured, he is still not someone you can handle!
What hope of the Ji family? A pile of dog shit! He's nothing but a good-for-nothing who relies on the Ji family's background!
Thinking of this, he gathered all his true energy and fiercely slashed at Ji Canghai, who was blocking his way.
In his mind, this strike would surely send his opponent flying at least a hundred meters!
"Clang!! Snap!!"
The broadsword and the horse-slaying saber clashed violently, producing a deafening roar!
Hu Wei felt a sensation of everything being consumed by the blade!
He was stunned, and then he felt an extremely powerful force surge into his heart.
Hu Wei coughed up a mouthful of blood and was actually sent flying by Ji Canghai's attack!
"My martial arts skills have simply fallen into disuse, but my talent is no less than anyone else's!"
Ji Canghai roared and charged forward again!
This time, the fierce flames completely engulfed an area of at least ten meters around it!
The entire audience was stunned!
Even Yue Shan, who was chasing after them, did not dare to enter the arena, because Ji Canghai had clearly broken through to the Grandmaster realm and even awakened the Flame Domain!
Don't be fooled by the fact that this small domain is only ten meters wide. You should know that Ji Canghai is a warrior who mainly engages in close combat!
At this moment, he chased after Hu Wei again, sticking to him and slashing wildly. Hu Wei could only roar and keep catching the blades!
He was repeatedly slashed backward by Ji Canghai's chaotic blades, and his entire body was attacked into the air. Meanwhile, his White Tiger True Qi had been completely ignited by Ji Canghai!
This all-consuming fighting style caused Hu Wei's massive true energy, even with the power of the White Tiger, to be severely depleted.
If Hu Wei hadn't also been a combat genius, he probably would have already had his head chopped off by Ji Canghai!
The clanging of weapons clashing in the air was incessant.
Ji Canghai grew increasingly furious as he fought. He couldn't believe that anyone could withstand his insane swordsmanship!
At the Grandmaster level, having activated his domain and in his prime, he fought against Hu Wei, a half-step Grandmaster who was also injured, and even had suspicions of having launched a sneak attack.
I couldn't kill it within a hundred strikes!
As a result, Ji Canghai's momentum grew stronger, his mind became even more frenzied, and his attack speed became even faster.
Hu Wei's sword was on the verge of shattering, his internal energy was becoming increasingly thin, and the White Tiger Demon Core in his dantian was surging violently.
He harbored deep resentment towards Yama and the others!
Why are two grandmasters clinging to the ground?!
Two useless pieces of trash! Could it be that they actually ran away after seeing Ji Canghai break through?
Filled with contempt and anger, and clinging to a last sliver of hope, he began to stall with all his might.
The next second, a cold, sinister wind drifted in from afar...
Hu Wei and Ji Canghai were suddenly startled.
Then, Yue Shan, who was watching from a distance, suddenly exploded.
After Ji Canghai shattered Hu Wei's horse-slaying sword with a single strike, he quickly turned to look.
As Yue Shan stepped into the fray, mud flew everywhere! His true energy exploded as well.
He seemed to have lost all resistance and fell straight into the distance.
Then, a giant phantom of a judge's pen chased after it!
If this move hits, even if Yue Shan doesn't die, he will be captured by the opponent!
Ji Canghai roared, no longer caring about Hu Wei who was already low on health, and turned around to try to save him.
But at that moment, it was all too late.
Yue Shan's figure was directly incorporated into the illusory image of the judge's pen. Then, with a gentle pull from the judge, Yue Shan's body immediately began to retreat from the battlefield!
Ji Canghai gave chase, intending to intercept him.
Unexpectedly, a sinister, invisible force attacked him.
Caught off guard, he stumbled.
Only then did Ji Canghai see the King of Hell rushing down from below.
The other party had already taken off his personal guard uniform, and looked extremely old.
But the thick and gloomy true energy was making a rustling sound!
As he stood up, a humanoid phantom wielding a giant token attacked Ji Canghai!
Ji Canghai swung his sword with all his might, sending flames billowing as he slashed at his opponent.
"boom!!"
The slash missed its mark, and the next second, the figure of Yama appeared beside him.
"clang!!"
To Yama's surprise, Ji Canghai was able to block the attack that came from his teleportation!
Then he saw Ji Canghai's angry and ferocious eyes: "Old dog!! Take this!!"
"Snapped!!!"
With a vicious slash, Ji Canghai sent Yama flying.
"How is this possible?!"
King Yama was shocked. He couldn't believe that his cultivation at the peak of the Grandmaster level was so easily defeated.
In fact, one's own domain cannot suppress the other's domain.
Although he had underestimated his own strength as much as possible, he never thought that he would be no match for a young man who had just advanced to the Grandmaster level.
This blow brought him straight back to reality!
After a three-second pause, he saw an unbelievable scene.
A long fire dragon exploded, and then Ji Canghai's speed increased dramatically!
The judge in front thought that Yama could easily suppress this kid, but unexpectedly, Yama was suppressed by this kid at will.
But what is this martial art that suddenly bursts into acceleration?
How come it's the same as that kid Xu Tianyi's?!
He couldn't accept it at all. He had already taken control of Yue Shan, but flying with someone else was not the same as flying by himself.
Not to mention that the other party is faster than him.
Seeing that Ji Canghai was about to step forward, he lost the courage to fight one-on-one and directly picked up the judge's pen and threw it to the right.
Then he took out the Book of Life and Death and slammed it into Ji Canghai!
"Snapped!!"
The phantom formed by the Book of Life and Death was indeed shattered instantly, and the judge also spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
His body was even covered in a layer of burning flames.
This flame, burning with the intense rage of Ji Canghai, was extremely difficult to extinguish!
The judge thought to himself that he was doomed, and desperately hoped that Ji Canghai would go to save the person and not finish him off.
With this hope, he struggled to extinguish the flames on his body.
A moment later, the flames took away a third of his true energy and dissipated. Ji Canghai indeed went to rescue Yue Shan.
At this moment, he and Yama (the King of Hell) had arrived at the same time.
Unwilling to give up, Yama returned and the two clashed fiercely.
When Yama got serious, he and Ji Canghai fought to a standstill, which led to the unattended Yue Shan falling to its death.
On the ground, twenty grandmasters from the Impermanence Division charged out together, attempting to take Yue Shan's body away.
Yue Shan's army charged forward in a frenzy, also trying to rescue their general.
In an instant, Yue Shan's severely wounded body became the focus of the battlefield!
Amidst a frantic roar, the heavily injured Hu Wei suddenly leaped up, grabbed Yue Shan's body, and quickly left the scene.
Seeing that Hu Wei had succeeded, the Wuchang Division members behind him immediately turned around and joined forces to block Yue Fengping's army from pursuing them.
And Yama seemed to be fighting desperately, and Ji Canghai was unable to stop him at all.
As a result, Hu Wei ran further and further away, leaving everyone in the arena in despair.
Even if Xu Tianyi and others, who were extremely far away, received the message and rushed over, it would take at least an hour, which was completely too late.
A surge of extreme anger erupted within Ji Canghai: "Brother Yue!!!"
After a roar, his true energy erupted once more, and he launched a frenzied attack on Yama.
Yama, on the other hand, transformed into a humanoid, purplish-black phantom, constantly borrowing Ji Canghai's chaotic blades.
He wanted to use even more concentrated true energy to trap Ji Canghai and kill him. At the same time, he was also furious and wanted to reclaim the dignity of his elders.
Nearly half an hour passed quickly, and Yama was about to succeed.
A roar suddenly came from below: "Lord Yama!! Retreat!!"
King Yama was startled. He had gotten so engrossed in the fight that he hadn't noticed the army below growing stronger.
As expected, Xu Tianyi's military formation was of the same lineage as Yue Shan's. The formation of a thousand men was already impressive enough, but now with the addition of more than ten thousand men, if they moved to his feet, they could immediately tear apart his domain. At that time, with the help of Ji Canghai, they might be able to capture him.
He roared, and the entire phantom of Yama exploded.
Ji Canghai was already increasingly exhausted, and at this moment he could only use his true energy to protect himself and avoid the attack.
Yama and his men fled frantically into the distance.
Ji Canghai was furious, but his physical strength and inner energy were exhausted.
He was filled with guilt.
Although he and Yue Shan had a gentlemanly friendship, he greatly admired Yue Shan.
As allies, I really don't know how to explain losing Yueshan to Xu Tianyi and the others.
After chasing for a while, Ji Canghai could no longer fly.
He collapsed in the middle of a small river.
A "sizzling" sound came from all over his body.
He dared not overuse his true energy again, otherwise, even though he was a fire-elemental being, he would burn himself to death.
He needs to rest for a while now, and then, following the flame marks, he will continue his pursuit!
. . . .
On the other side, Hu Wei ran all the way until he too was exhausted and collapsed on an unnamed hillside.
The severely injured Yue Shan trembled, his entire face twitching.
You could vaguely see that his body was bleeding profusely and had many cracks.
He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.
Seeing Hu Wei in front of him, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
"I...I never expected...that I...would actually..."
Hu Wei collapsed to the ground, helplessly looking at Yue Shan.
"Grandpa, I've said it before, I will repay what I owe you! From now on, Grandpa will never owe you, Yue Shan, anything again!"
Yue Shan laughed, his face twitching: "You... don't owe me anything... You've changed..."
Hu Wei caught his breath and suddenly sat up: "Do right and wrong really matter that much? I only care about the result! I only want the result! You're right, I've changed! Just now, the moment I saw Ji Canghai, I understood a new truth!"
Yue Shan asked curiously, "What's the reasoning behind that?"
Hu Wei looked at the sky and said coldly, "Power, army, women—these are all dispensable. Only one's own strength is real and true! If I had been a Grandmaster when I raided the Rock Bear Tribe, I could have acted recklessly and slaughtered at will. Even if I had fallen into an ambush, it wouldn't have mattered!"
Why would I need your help?
If it were a few days ago, when I possessed the cultivation of a Grandmaster, I could have forcibly taken Shen Miao back without having to say a word to that Xu Tianyi!
If I'm strong enough, none of them can treat me like a dog!
The King of Qi and the King of Chu are both useless fools. If I had the strength, I could even storm the palace alone and stir up a storm throughout the land!
When that time comes, even if I want to sleep with the Empress, the Emperor will obediently send her over!
I, alone, will capture and kill the bear woman and annihilate the rock bears from this mere grassland tribe. Why do I need weaklings like you to follow me?
I, Hu Wei, am a fierce tiger of heaven and earth; why should I explain myself to others? Nor should I wrong myself for anyone! Now, I have no ties, and this is the time when I am invincible!
At this point, Hu Wei chuckled and glanced at Yue Shan: "This is the last time I'll be emotional, my former good brother, Yue Shan! I'll repay you this time, but whether you live or die depends on your fate!"
Stretching, Hu Wei laughed loudly and leaped away like a tiger.
On the hillside, only Yue Shan, severely injured and unable to move, remained.
