Chapter 1276: 1276
Hardly any time transpired from the moment when Shangguan Xiongyan’s bolt of fire was stopped by the +10 additional effect of the Counter Armor . But during that time, Shangguan Xiongyan had somehow managed to close enough distance to strike at Bai Yunfei!
Bai Yunfei didn’t know how Shangguan Xiongyan was able to do that—the two had been over two kilometers apart . Not even a Saint was able to move that much distance in seemingly a single step!
To those watching, it seemed like Bai Yunfei was doomed to an early death…
“Swish!!”
The blade in Shangguan Xiongyan’s hand radiated a beam of scorching red light as if to extend its edge . ‘Effortlessly’, the blade then traveled in and out of Bai Yunfei’s throat!
Glee flickered in Shangguan Xiongyan’s eyes at the sight of his blade cutting into the throat, but when he felt no resistance, his eyes then widened in surprise; something was off!
Though his blade had well and truly gone through Bai Yunfei’s throat, it had done so ‘without resistance’! There was no tactile sensation of flesh being cut!
In front of him, Bai Yunfei’s figure flickered erratically in a way that made him seem transparent . Then Shangguan Xiongyan’s senses caught up with his mind .
Bai Yunfei’s aura was gone!
The man was standing in front of him, but his aura wasn’t . His attack had somehow managed to fail!
+10 Additional Effect of the Core Stone: Activated!
Consume soulforce to send any target within ten meters into a sealed dimension for two seconds . Target cannot attack and cannot be attacked . Target maintains original visibility . Cooldown of 1 minute .
On the brink of death, Bai Yunfei had managed to active yet another effect to successfully save his life .
But…Bai Yunfei didn’t look as happy as when he survived the first attempt . That was because…Shangguan Xiongyan was still right in front of him!
He was in that sealed dimension for two seconds, but once those two seconds were over he’d be back in front of Shangguan Xiongyan’s intimidating figure . How would he possibly be able to dodge the attack of a Saint from up close?!
“Whish!!”
The rapid sound of wind being displaced caused Shangguan Xiongyan to freeze up suddenly . Kicking away from where Bai Yunfei was, he retreated in an instant to avoid being attacked . Simultaneously, a tear opened up in space right next to Bai Yunfei .
A moment later and a single person walked out from the tear—it was Ge Yiyun .
“Phew…”
Bai Yunfei sighed once more, though his heart was still pounding heavily inside his body . He truly did think for a moment that he was going to die there .
So this is what the attack of a Saint was like…He had been forced to use two of his life-saving effects in practically a second and yet he had still been dancing on the fine edge of death’s scythe…
If not for those effects, Bai Yunfei would’ve definitely failed to dodge Shangguan Xiongyan’s attacks .
It was in this moment that Bai Yunfei thought about how great the gap was between a Soul Saint and himself .
……
“Senior Ge…”
Bai Yunfei looked to Ge Yiyun with a bitter expression of humiliation . It had been him who came here to help, and yet it was him who was instead helped .
“You take care of yourself . Don’t worry about me if matters come to worst!”
A mixture of gratitude and sorrow met Bai Yunfei’s face as Ge Yiyun spoke . He didn’t say anything more as he turned his attention back to Shangguan Xiongyan . The transparent pearl was back in his hand and was ready to be sent flying again .
“Hmph!!”
Sneering, Shangguan Xiongyan lashed out with his sword once again . This time, a beam of energy shot out from the sword and slammed into the transparent pearl while the tornadoes of fire around them all dove at Ge Yiyun as if it were alive .
Silent, Ge Yiyun clapped both hands together . In response, the transparent pearl shot out several beams of energy to strike at the flames .
“……”
It was with reluctance that Bai Yunfei retreated from the scene . He had no choice in the matter despite his wishes, but there was nothing he could do here…
Using the Cataclysmic Seal to attack and then the +10 additional effect of the Counter Armor had used up another thirty percent of his reserves, meaning Bai Yunfei was getting drastically low on soulforce .
He had half a mind to use Soul Ignition to regain his soulforce and then attack with the Vampiric Demon Edge, but it didn’t seem like the right time to use them . It was possible this method wouldn’t even do much harm to Shangguan Xiongyan, meaning it would be foolish to commit to it without further knowledge .
The Cataclysmic Seal returned to his side as he tried to recover his soulforce . As he did so, he thought heavily about what he should do and what opportunities were still available .
It was just that he was thinking several times more panicked than before . The existence of Triumphant Flame left a great amount of uncertainty in his mind .
“Boom boom boom…”
Shangguan Xiongyan and Ge Yiyun were once again embroiled in combat . Whenever he wanted to break away from Ge Yiyun and attack Bai Yunfei, Shangguan Xiongyan was frustrated to see that Ge Yiyun would stop him .
