Chapter 107: Ultrasonic Sword Qi
"He's here!"
Upon hearing Ji Xinghuo's words, Jing Ji and the other two turned pale with fear.
Yuan Chongzhen cried out, "Let's split up and run!" As he spoke, he transformed into a lightning-feathered eagle with a wingspan of five or six meters and vigorously flapped his wings to soar into the sky.
"Be careful!"
Ji Xinghuo wanted to remind him, but it was too late.
Through magnetic field sensing, the legendary Great Kunman's speed was incredibly fast. He was already within a hundred meters, but his figure was blocked by the trees in the swamp.
The lightning-feathered eagle had just flown a few dozen meters when a transparent spear shot up from behind the trees, piercing the sky.
Sound Spear!
Yuan Chongzhen reacted a bit slower, but when he heard Ji Xinghuo's shout, he quickly transformed into a black iron gorilla, a formidable defensive form. The sound spear pierced the gorilla's abdomen, sinking deep into its body. The gorilla let out a painful roar as it fell from the sky.
Boom!
The black iron gorilla crashed heavily into the swamp, splashing filthy water everywhere.
However, he did not die. Instead, he gritted his teeth, transformed into a forest elk spirit, with a human upper body and an elk's lower body. The elk's antlers on his head resembled branches, adorned with lush green leaves, while his abdomen bled profusely. He released a green glow from his hands, drawing vitality from the surrounding plants to heal his wounds.
"We can't escape!" shouted Alex. "We must fight him, or we'll all die."
He had witnessed how the enemy killed his teammates and did not want to suffer the same fate.
"Xinghuo?" Jing Ji looked at Ji Xinghuo.
He knew how powerful Ji Xinghuo's perception abilities were, and his judgment of the situation was always precise. At this moment, they had to rely on Ji Xinghuo's decision.
If Ji Xinghuo said they couldn't fight, he would not hesitate to flee.
Ji Xinghuo nodded firmly.
Among the legendary strong men he had encountered, this Great Kunman's magnetic field intensity was at the bottom. His etheric energy fluctuations were not that terrifying either, and as expected, he should be a Legend One.
With their combined strength, they might have a chance in battle.
Moreover, the legendary Great Kunman seemed to be in poor condition, and his movements were somewhat uncoordinated. This reminded him of Jizong Bang, who had also been poisoned by the Evil Wind Guest.
One of Alex's teammates was an Evil Wind Guest, and his death had not been in vain.
Although the impact was not significant, the enemy had revealed a slight flaw.
If they couldn't win, they would run.
Seeing Ji Xinghuo nod in agreement, Jing Ji grit his teeth and said, "Let's fight with all we've got!"
His figure then merged with the shadows and disappeared.
Blood flowed on Alex's body, condensing into a bloody armor. His stature grew to over two meters tall, and his hands transformed into a pair of massive blood blades. His entire demeanor became hideous, like a monster crawling out of hell.
He entered a battle state and charged towards the woods.
Boom!
A sharp, piercing scream, like a raging hurricane, caused a large area of the forest a hundred meters away to topple over. It was as if countless sharp blades had sliced through the trees, sending leaves flying everywhere, clearing the area in an instant.
Alex was blown back, his body torn to shreds, a bloody mess.
At this moment, the legendary Great Kunman finally appeared.
Ji Xinghuo, through magnetic field sensing, could only perceive his form, and now he finally saw the man in person, causing his pupils to contract.
The average height of the Great Kunmen was a little over 1.7 meters, but this Great Kunman stood at over two meters tall, with an extremely robust build. His rock-like muscles strained against his cyan-blue skin, containing terrifying power. One could directly see the Xing force flowing on his skin, like a layer of water waves.
He wore light battle attire and held a strangely shaped longsword.
The Great Kunman's legs had triple-jointed segments, and his gait was incredibly stable as he waded through the swamp water. Ripples spread out in circles, resonating with the vibrating sound waves emanating from the sword.
With him as the center, the air within a hundred-meter radius trembled, forming visible mechanical waves!
Buzz...
Ji Xinghuo heard a sharp buzzing sound in his ears, like an electric current howling from a speaker, causing his eardrums to sting and his brain to feel as if it were being pricked by needles, making him feel dizzy.
"He's a Giant Spirit Warrior. Be careful of the sword in his hand!" Alex stood up, his wounds already healed.
Ji Xinghuo was surprised but also enlightened.
The Giant Spirit Warrior was an advanced profession that combined the Giant General and the Martial Artist.
The Great Kunmen's talents lay in water and ice, and their physical qualities were not actually outstanding. There weren't many power-type professions among them, but this legendary Great Kunman was an exception, which explained his towering stature.
As for the sword in his hand...
Ji Xinghuo observed it carefully. The pale blue longsword was about 1.2 meters long and as wide as a palm. The edges of the blade were wavy, but not smoothly so; instead, they had serrated tips, and the spine of the sword was hollow, constantly vibrating and emitting a captivating sound wave.
This was at least a Superpower Three-star weapon!
"Earthlings."
The legendary Great Kunman's gaze swept over Ji Xinghuo and the other two, then glanced at the hidden Jing Ji, not bothering to conceal his awareness of Jing Ji's presence.
He did not rush to attack and instead spoke in the Celestial language, "It was you who attacked our patrol team, wasn't it?"
In the foreign races of Qianfeng Yuanlin, they all communicated in the Celestial language of the Tianyu Court.
Ji Xinghuo's major in university included the Celestial language.
"So what if it was?" Ji Xinghuo replied coldly.
"In that case, perfect." A cruel smile appeared on the Great Kunman's fish-like head, and he said indifferently, "I've been looking for you for a long time. Today, I'm lucky to have encountered all of you. It's time to wipe out you annoying insects."
The legendary Great Kunman's eyes narrowed dangerously, his expression turning gloomy as he became thoroughly enraged.
However, before he could make a move, Ji Xinghuo took the initiative. With his Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow already drawn, he released an arrow, lightning-fast, aiming straight for the Great Kunman's eye.
The distance between them was a mere hundred meters, and in the blink of an eye, the arrow was upon him.
At the same time.
Jing Ji activated a thought link, connecting the minds of the four teammates. As Ji Xinghuo's arrow flew, Jing Ji threw his dagger, aiming for the Great Kunman's back. Alex transformed into a cloud of blood mist and charged forward, while Yuan Chongzhen became an Umbral Panther, utilizing spatial abilities to attack the Great Kunman's side.
"Seeking death," the Great Kunman sneered, his hand raising to sweep his longsword.
A crisp ding rang out.
The longsword easily deflected the arrow, and with a follow-through slash, a white wave of sound burst from the blade, instantly forming a broad sword aura that reached dozens of meters.
Alex's blood mist form was immediately dispersed, his body dropping into the swamp. His blood failed to coalesce, unable to reform his shape. The Umbral Panther was only grazed by the sword aura, but its fur immediately split open, revealing bloody gashes. Frightened, it quickly shifted through dimensions to escape and transformed back into the Forest Elk Spirit to heal its wounds.
Ji Xinghuo finally understood this attack—it was ultrasonic sword qi!
The Great Kunman pushed back the two enemies in front of him and turned around. Jing Ji's figure flickered as he appeared, dagger in hand, but the longsword was already at his neck, leaving no room to dodge.
Puh!
Jing Ji's head separated from his body, but in the next moment, his body turned into a flickering shadow.
Shadow Flash!
Simultaneously, four identical images of Jing Ji appeared, all afterimages, and the Great Kunman paused for a moment, unable to immediately discern the real body. Jing Ji seized this chance to open his mouth and release an "Ultrasonic Shockwave"!
As an advanced profession of the Phantom Assassin, the Echoist, and the Shadowblade, Jing Ji was also adept at controlling sound waves.
A loud blast reverberated.
At such close range, the Great Kunman couldn't avoid the ultrasonic wave crashing into his face, causing him to involuntarily stumble back a few steps, his head spinning and his eyes dizzy.
If the opponent had been a Superhuman or a Fourth-Stage Great Kunman, such a close-range ultrasonic shockwave would have shattered their bodies, leaving them gravely injured even if they survived.
However, against a legendary powerhouse, it only served to repel him, and he didn't even sustain any injuries.
Ji Xinghuo seized this opportunity to shoot an arrow at the back of the legendary Great Kunman's head. The arrow penetrated the skin but was caught in the muscles, drawing only a little blood.
Huituitui...
In the span of a breath, he fired three arrows in rapid succession, each one finding its mark on the enemy's head, yet none were fatal.
Jing Ji boldly closed in, dagger aiming for the Great Kunman's heart. Suddenly, he sensed an extremely dangerous omen and tried to retreat, but it was too late.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion rocked the air as the legendary Great Kunman's body erupted with white air waves, resembling the sonic boom of a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier. Jing Ji was blasted away by the force.
In this critical moment, Jing Ji released "Silence" as the sonic boom struck, lessening the sound wave damage. Still, he was blown to pieces, multiple fractures riddling his body, and blood gushed from his mouth.
The legendary Great Kunman swung his longsword, and the ultrasonic sword qi slashed towards Jing Ji in mid-air.
A Blastflame Arrow streaked through the sky.
Boom! The high-temperature flames exploded on the Great Kunman, causing him to divert his sword, and the ultrasonic sword qi failed to cleave Jing Ji in two. However, the residual sword aura grazed him, and his body erupted with blood. His leather armor shattered into fragments, as if he had been flayed by a thousand blades.
Before landing, Jing Ji threw his dagger, using the last of his strength to leap away, but he had lost his combat effectiveness.
The Great Kunman paid no heed to Jing Ji and turned his attention back to Ji Xinghuo.
The Blastflame Arrow hadn't inflicted any harm, as the flames couldn't pierce through Ji Xinghuo's star force protection, extinguishing in an instant. However, the searing pain it caused made the Great Kunman grit his teeth.
The Great Kunmen were an aquatic race, and they disliked fire.
Moreover, Ji Xinghuo's arrows had struck his head several times, and the pain from those wounds lingered. From the start of the battle until now, all the pain he felt was inflicted by Ji Xinghuo.
The Great Kunman decided to take out Ji Xinghuo first. Taking down the archer was always the top priority.
Boom, boom, boom...
He strode forward, charging through the swamp, each step leaving behind a half-meter-deep puddle. It was like a hovering train barreling towards Ji Xinghuo.
A terrifying wave of air rushed towards them.
Alex gritted his teeth and rose to his feet, his body exploding into countless blood arrows that rained down on the Great Kunman from all directions.
"Get lost!"
The Great Kunman roared, and a sonic blast erupted from his mouth, effortlessly dispersing the wall of blood arrows in front of him. He ignored the attacks from the sides and back, allowing the blood arrows to strike his body. Although they couldn't penetrate his defenses, they succeeded in slowing him down.
Yuan Chongzhen transformed back into the Black Iron Gorilla, standing protectively in front of Ji Xinghuo.
"Go and treat Jing Ji's injuries," Ji Xinghuo said calmly. Yuan Chongzhen knew that hesitation was not an option, and he instantly turned into an Umbral Panther, leaping to Jing Ji's side.
Almost the moment Yuan Chongzhen left, the Great Kunman's attack arrived.
A large expanse of invisible ultrasonic sword qi ripped through the air with a deafening howl, slashing towards the area in front of Ji Xinghuo, leaving barely any room to dodge.
