Chapter 954: Chapter 954: Pay-to-Win Player Chapter 954: Chapter 954: Pay-to-Win Player Bai Jiuzhou's needles, dubbed “Immortal-Slaying Needles,” pride in their silent oddity and swift speed, with considerable lethal force.
However, there's a downside to the Immortal-Slaying Needles–they cannot lock onto a target, unable to track.
This is normal; the Cultivation World would not see the rise of a perfect, flawless Magical Treasure, for an artifact's significant power in some respects surely comes at the sacrifice of other abilities.
Feng Jun had already observed Bai Jiuzhou's combat style and admitted his first strike might have been an incorrect approach–after all, he hadn't expected the opponent's Divine Sense to be so formidable.
Nonetheless, his second strike promptly followed–a Mountain and River Seal thundered down after the Falling Thunder Technique!
The Falling Thunder Technique was a full-powered blow, yet it seemed Bai Jiuzhou bore Lightning Protection Magic Artifacts, sustaining minimal impact, merely a slight falter in movement.
In reality, Bai Jiuzhou did suffer a slight disadvantage; indeed, he possessed Lightning Protection Magic Artifacts, but those were only to guard against Thunder Talisman attacks–he truly did not expect the opponent to unleash Thunder Techniques.
Taking such a blow and then watching as the Mountain and River Seal grew much larger before his eyes, he didn't think twice before striking with a Thunderbolt Child–his instinct told him this Magic Artifact was certainly capable of tracking.
Much like Luo Shuchen used the Green Gauze Cover against Leng Qionghua, Bai Jiuzhou also disfavored tracking-type Magical Treasures.
A single Thunderbolt Child might find it hard to destroy the opponent's Magical Treasure, yet disrupting their tracking was relatively easier.
In the earth-shattering explosions, Bai Jiuzhou again performed a Blink–his opponent's Thunder Technique made this Blink less effective, achieving only half a mile when he intended for a full mile.
However, as soon as he reappeared, he saw a small green bell falling from the sky, followed by a resounding boom.
Trouble! This time, Bai Jiuzhou realized how troublesome the opponent was–the adversary directly relinquished control over the Great Seal.
Cultivators of the Mobile Phone dimension control only one Magical Treasure at a time; now that the green bell emerged, it indicated the opponent had forsaken another Magical Treasure, and Bai Jiuzhou could sense the immense power of the Great Seal, incomparable to that of an ordinary Magic Artifact.
Bai Jiuzhou, a veteran of countless battles, was not unfamiliar with such a combat style, but it was manageable only for the exceedingly wealthy.
That is to say, those who can fight in this manner are essentially rich tycoons.
Ordinary Cultivators least wish to confront such tycoons, for no matter how fierce one's battle spirit or how strong one's combat strength, it can't contend with an opponent who's a gold-glistener, whose equipment alone can make you sigh in defeat.
Bai Jiuzhou had also killed Cultivators with substantial riches, but usually through assassinations–when the target was on guard and engaged in direct combat, it was indeed quite troublesome.
Especially Feng Jun's Soul-Suppressing Bell, not just another high-quality Magical Treasure, but crucially… it can also attack with sound.
Bai Jiuzhou, an agility-focused Cultivator often engaged in assassinations, had means to guard against thunder and Divine Sense Attacks, but he truly lacked defenses against sound attacks–if one loaded oneself with defensive Magical Treasures, how could one still be nimble?
The prior Divine Sense Attack had already caused him minor troubles, and after being struck by the thunder, his limbs felt somewhat stiff; now affected by the sound attack, as the grand chime resounded in his ears with a “boom,” he felt an electric shock throughout, dizzy and numb, nearly collapsing.
Cultivators specializing in agility inherently possess low defensive capabilities–Bai Jiuzhou had met his nemesis.
Yet, he bit down and launched a shuttle-shaped Magic Artifact–this was the Flying Lightning Shuttle, imbued with Thunderous Power, capable of penetrating the body to inflict physical harm.
He knew the opponent wielded Thunder Techniques, but mastery of Thunder Technique didn't mean one could withstand it–this assault might not be caught by the adversary.
Of course, his choice of the Flying Lightning Shuttle was deliberate; among the several Magical Treasures on him, it was the only one that could track–in strict terms, it's a Magical Treasure capable of tracking even as he performed a Blink.
Blink was akin to Teleportation, essentially moving the flesh in defiance of spatial factors to another position.
Thus, during a Blink, many Magical Treasures could slip from the master's control, stopping their tracking due to disengagement.
Yet this wasn't true Spatial Transposition, leaving some Magical Treasures barely controllable.
Amidst the pressured situation, Bai Jiuzhou's choice to counter using this object showed his ample experience and indeed, the right move–he didn't count on vanquishing the foe, but hoped this would help him break from the opponent's attack rhythm.
Once he reappeared, he heedlessly slapped on a Defense Talisman–for high-agility Cultivators, such an act bears a tinge of shame.
But there's no other way; he was genuinely terrified by the opponent's unceasing array of all-encompassing attack methods; a bit of caution against a gold-glistener never hurt.
In fact, he had already sensed the opponent's Cultivation Level wasn't very high, merely early-stage Transcendence, but as the saying goes, the gap between early-stage and High-Rank Transcendence isn't as wide as during the Qi Refinement Realm.
He wanted to defend first, then seize the enemy at once–perhaps the previous electric shuttle had already taken effect, yet he would never underestimate the opponent; when life hangs by a thread, excessive caution isn't too much.
Regrettably, no sooner had he applied the Defense Talisman than he saw a rope lasso hurtling towards him–evidently, this was a binding type of Magical Treasure.
“Damn it,” he cursed under his breath, “there really are a ton of magical treasures.”
Clearly, the opponent had abandoned that green bell, and this rope lasso was also pretty remarkable–facing such a pay-to-win player really gives you a sense of helplessness.
However, Bai Jiuzhou had just slapped a defense talisman on himself and wasn't too scared, so he blinked away again–who's to say the rope lasso could track him, and what could it do even if it did?
Yet, just as he materialized, the rope lasso had already followed, binding him tightly in its coils.
But Bai Jiuzhou still wasn't too worried; no matter how powerful the rope lasso was, his defense talisman was also formidable, hardly any average person could break through his defenses–otherwise, why would he shame himself by using a defense talisman?
And he had other lifesaving methods at his disposal, that went without saying.
Seriously though, he finally recognized the person attacking him, “Feng Jun… You actually dare to strike at me?”
“How rare,” Feng Jun sneered, appearing before him in a flash, “To me, a Pine Cypress Peak Cultivator who has died is a good cultivator!”
Bai Jiuzhou didn't believe that the opponent could kill him, so he just looked at him indifferently, his eyes even contained a hint of amusement–can you even break my defenses?
However, the moment the opponent reached him, a sense of crisis surged within.
It was an intuition that couldn't be explained, but it was real and had saved his life before–actually, for a cultivator accustomed to assassinating others like him, this intuitive sense was very good at protecting him.
Bai Jiuzhou strangely felt that the opponent… might actually be able to kill him!
This feeling was so bizarre, he even thought it might be an illusion due to the misfortune in tonight's battle.
Immediately afterward, he saw the opponent reach out and grab the rope lasso binding him.
At that moment, his sense of alarm skyrocketed, hair on end, he was absolutely certain: he was about to die an unnatural death!
Where this feeling came from, he did not know, but he knew that this was the inevitable outcome.
So he couldn't help but shout, “Mountain Master Feng, we've come to protect you!”
There was no choice; when it was time to cower, one had to cower. He wasn't afraid of death, but to be killed by the one he was supposed to protect… that was truly suffocating!
These battles seem long when spoken about, but in reality, they happened in just a few moments, a flurry of action too fast for the eye to follow.
Even as he shouted, Leng Qionghua had only just freed herself from the entanglement of the Green Gauze Cover.
Luo Shuchen pulled out a talisman and was about to cast it when he heard the shout and yelled, “Cultivator Feng, please show mercy!”
Feng Jun wasn't a bloodthirsty man, he really did want to kill the Qi Refinement Realm cultivator before him, but as his hand had already grasped the opponent's body, he finally stopped–everything was under control, so why not listen to what the other had to say?
Yes, just a thought of “withdraw” and this Bai Jiuzhou would certainly die an unnatural death, as for the flickering light of the defense talisman on his body, he simply didn't care–no matter how strong your defense talisman is, can you defend against a power that crosses planes?
But the most fundamental reason was that he considered one thing–Pine Cypress Peak might really have come to protect him!
Before this, he had been full of malice towards Pine Cypress Peak, mainly because he hadn't considered that they might have a reason to protect him.
Looking back, it was because he had been led by Luo Shuchen's tempo–Tianxin Platform never trusts others' kindness, they only trust themselves, which is why they were seen as lunatics.
Bai Jiuzhou was genuinely terrified, unsure of what means Feng Jun possessed. Though he still looked down on beginner Qi Refinement cultivators, his intuition told him that Feng Jun really had the power to completely obliterate him.
Time froze at that moment, everyone present ceased their actions.
Feng Jun didn't have the luxury to put away the Mountain and River Seal and the Soul-Suppressing Bell; his hand rested on Bai Jiuzhou's shoulder, charged and ready, as he coldly asked, “Now you can talk, why are you sneaking around?”
Bai Jiuzhou saw that he had stopped and wanted to scold the other out of indignation, but then he felt that sense of crisis again and couldn't help but snort, “Cultivator, what a good move!”
“It's just self-preservation,” Feng Jun replied expressionlessly, “I've already promised your Pine Cypress Peak to stop spreading the matter about Liu Feng. What is the meaning of two high-rank Qi Refinement cultivators hurrying here?”
As he spoke, his hand still rested on the other's shoulder.
Bai Jiuzhou also keenly realized that it was this very hand that gave him the greatest sense of danger, and he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, “I say, could you trouble yourself, Cultivator, to let go of my shoulder? I know you have the means to kill me… but we really did come to protect you.”
(Updated to, the race for monthly tickets is tight, already the later part of the month, has anyone spotted the new monthly tickets yet?)
