Chapter 693 - 596: Deceptive Duel
As Zhao Yi faced off against Bai Xianzhi, he glanced at the ground, the sight making his scalp tingle slightly. Countless spiders covered the ground densely, and on the mulberry trees, spiders flaunted their strength, roughly estimating to be in the thousands.
"The whole mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, so these spiders are innumerable. But you’re impressive, it’s not easy to mobilize so many spiders for the first time."
"Are you praising me, or do you think I’m doomed?"
"Both!"
As Bai Xianzhi talked and laughed, a strange light flashed in front of Zhao Yi. He dodged to find it was a white sword. Perhaps to divert Zhao Yi’s attention, Bai Xianzhi unexpectedly introduced the weapon in his hand.
"This is called the Silver Thread Sword, forged using silkworm silk. It took three hundred years to succeed, using countless silks. This weapon can emit light to dazzle the eye or transform into a rope to bind people."
Bai Xianzhi was drawn to the conversation with the opponent, unexpectedly not dodging the spider’s stealth attack from behind, and was tightly bound by the spider’s legs.
"Master!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal shouted as it charged toward Bai Xianzhi. Countless spiders blocked its aid. The body of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal was incredibly tough, many spiders were smashed to death, but the spider swarms increased, and the silk became denser, gradually trapping the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.
"If I had known you were interested in weapons, I should have explained it earlier, and maybe I could have caught you then!"
"Why don’t you give me this thing, maybe then I could serve you."
Zhao Yi’s words caught Bai Xianzhi by surprise, as he didn’t think Zhao Yi was someone who could submit to others.
While Bai Xianzhi was puzzled, a slight sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Yi’s mouth. He felt pain in his chest, looking down to find a hand had pierced through. This hand casually lifted Bai Xianzhi and threw him into the distance. In a daze, Bai Xianzhi saw Zhao Yi giving him the middle finger.
Bai Xianzhi landed, and countless spiders rushed toward him. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal made a wrong judgment.
"Master, I didn’t expect these spiders to be so ruthless, they actually ate Bai Xianzhi!"
Zhao Yi also thought the same, but noticed the barrier hadn’t disappeared, which meant Bai Xianzhi wasn’t dead!
"Hiss!"
A hissing sound came from behind Zhao Yi, his body bound by white silkworm silk, Bai Xianzhi appeared intact in front of Zhao Yi, smiling as he looked at Zhao Yi.
"Your cleverness lies in using a clone as bait, but the stupid part is thinking that just because my chest is pierced, I will die."
"I really didn’t expect this wouldn’t kill you, it’s really a pity." Zhao Yi smiled helplessly, finding Bai Xianzhi exceedingly troublesome.
Neither his spiders nor Bai Xianzhi himself could be shaken by the Five Elements, unable to inflict even a little harm. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal was powerful but couldn’t contend against him. At this moment, Zhao Yi wanted a Divine Artifact more than ever!
"I now truly feel the benefits of having a powerful weapon."
"It’s just a pity, you understood too late!"
Bai Xianzhi’s expression turned fierce, directly stabbing the weapon into Zhao Yi’s chest, but Zhao Yi vanished.
"Damn! Another clone!"
"Bai, we’ll meet again!"
On the mountain, Zhao Yi waved at Bai Xianzhi, while behind him the mulberry trees were knocked down by the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, some fruits were devoured by it.
"You damn thing, come down here!" Bai Xianzhi trembled with rage, not expecting Zhao Yi would destroy the mulberry trees, wearing a smug look, he began toppling the trees.
Ignoring his anger, Zhao Yi transformed into white light and charged straight at Bai Xianzhi. They clashed fiercely on the mountain. The shockwaves from their power toppled even more mulberry trees, and the silkworms began to hiss under the impact.
Upon hearing the hissing, the spiders scattered, disappearing completely within three minutes, leaving only Zhao Yi and Bai Xianzhi fighting. Explosions echoed endlessly for a while, numerous rocks shattered, the mountaintop flattened, dust and smoke swirling, a pungent smell pervading the air.
Zhao Yi pushed his speed and power to the limit, launching continuous attacks using magic, while Bai Xianzhi deflected them with his sword, transforming silkworm silk into the Immortal Binding Rope to trap Zhao Yi.
After a quarter of an hour, they parted, Zhao Yi’s clothes were slashed with over a dozen cuts, while Bai Xianzhi’s clothes were intact but filthy, his hair slightly disheveled.
"The barrier on the mountain wasn’t much, I easily broke it!"
Zhao Yi flaunted his achievement, while Bai Xianzhi lowered his head tidying his clothes, brushing off the dirt repeatedly.
"Master, did you notice, he seems to fear dirtying his clothes!"
"I noticed, it seems his power source is that clothing, or it might just be that white color! In any case, just dirty him!"
Upon discovering Bai Xianzhi’s weakness, Zhao Yi immediately launched an attack. Bringing his hands together, countless stones floated in the air, attacking Bai Xianzhi. Bai Xianzhi raised his right hand, a beam of light blocking the stones, unwittingly turning them into dust that enveloped Bai Xianzhi.
"Looks like you’ve found my weakness!"
"Now that you’re surrounded by dust, any movement will make you dirty. I hope we can call it quits, and let me go!"
"Dream on!"
The Silver Thread Sword suddenly transformed into ropes, spinning continuously in Bai Xianzhi’s hand, a gust of wind rose around. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal appeared in mid-air, spewing a large amount of clean water, which quickly mixed with the dust under the influence of the wind, forming dirty mud.
Zhao Yi shouted, bringing his hands together and chanting incantations. In the gale, the mud gradually formed into a giant dragon swirling in the wind.
Bai Xianzhi initially planned to use the wind to scatter these things, but unexpectedly was used by the opponent instead. Some mud spots stained his clothes, becoming even harder to clean.
While Bai Xianzhi was in a daze, the giant dragon had already wrapped around Bai Xianzhi, swallowing him whole. The dragon gradually disappeared, Bai Xianzhi reappeared, his clothes had changed from white to chocolate color, crashing to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Learning from past experiences, Zhao Yi flashed next to Bai Xianzhi, preparing to deliver the final blow, not expecting Bai Xianzhi to suddenly open his eyes, his left hand carrying great force directly striking Zhao Yi’s chest.
Zhao Yi thought victory was assured, not anticipating Bai Xianzhi had such powerful strength left, unable to dodge in time, taking the hit solidly, flying into the distance like a kite with a broken string.
"Master!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal, eager to protect its master, was about to assist when Bai Xianzhi’s icy voice came from behind: "Do you think you can escape?"
Before the Nine Dragon Jade Seal could react, Bai Xianzhi kicked it into the mountain’s body, the rocks seeming to have spiritual energy, binding the Nine Dragon Jade Seal firmly.
Zhao Yi, despite his strong capabilities, only suffered some nausea and spat out a bit of food residue, with a slight bloodstain at the corner of his mouth but otherwise unaffected.
He stood up watching Bai Xianzhi, who was clapping continuously.
