Chapter 394: 393: Just by Looking, You Can Tell This Jiang Li Can’t Fight
For someone beyond his understanding, Sect Hierarch encountered only once.
The visitor from the sky sixty years ago.
Despite Sect Hierarch appearing middle-aged, his actual age was indeterminable. Having absorbed the Immortal Power, his life span was prolonged, witnessing the rise and fall of multiple feudal nations.
He was an adept living on the fringe of history, the most mysterious of all, only until the unification of the world to open modern society did he start to establish the power-absorbing sect.
The visitor self-proclaimed as Du Ye, and after meeting him, the Sect Hierarch felt his unfathomability, where a thousand years of life experience still seemed childish compared to him.
Du Ye merely conversed a few thoughts, encouraged a few words, patted him on the shoulder, and disappeared.
Unbeknownst to the Sect Hierarch, when Du Ye first arrived at Wei Gu World and saw the prosperity, he felt uncomfortable. This contrasted sharply with his imagination of a broken mountainscape and withered universe. He wanted to revise his plans to initiate a new round of world destruction, but changed his mind after meeting the Sect Hierarch.
Through two months of observation, Du Ye observed the Sect Hierarch as a powerful, ambitious, stubborn individual with unlimited rule but limited governing capacity.
Such individuals were destined to disrupt the Wei Gu World, causing catastrophic damage to the ecosystem.
So, Du Ye did not take further action.
Du Ye longed for someone who could relieve his burden, who could destroy all beings without his assistance, thus reducing his workload significantly.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many such people.
After Du Ye, the Sect Hierarch encountered someone else he couldn’t foresee.
He suspected these two people were from the same place as Du Ye.
The Sect Hierarch activated his power to test the possible outcomes of the battle, but the result was blank.
He received the same result when testing Du Ye.
The Sect Hierarch no longer held back and activated all of his sixth-tier abilities.
When he battled the Director General, he hadn’t even used one-tenth of his power.
“Return of Thousands of Thunderbolts!”
The sky was overcast with roaring thunder. Green thunderbolts were about to pour down, the dense thunder plasma could split the whole city into charcoal.
Jiang Li looked up and glanced at the dark clouds, causing them to dissipfully.
“Eye of the Hurricane!”
A hurricane appeared in the sky, at the center of the hurricane looked like an eye, with a level seventeen wind force raging, the wind speed equivalent to a high-speed rail. No building on land could withstand this kind of power.
“Freeze!” Bai Hongtu commanded, using a heavenly spell to freeze the hurricane.
“Space Rupture!”
Space fragmented like a spider web.
Jiang Li waved his hand casually, and space returned to its initial smoothness.
“Solar Inferno!”
A burning sun in the sky caused the land to crack and the vegetation to wither and ignite.
“Freeze Sky and Earth.” Bai Hongtu used Dao, freezing the forged sun instantly, even the flames were frozen inside.
“Five Hundred Times Gravity!”
Jiang Li moved around naturally, unaffected.
“Nuclear Fusion!”
The Sect Hierarch threw out a stone lion. The atomic nucleus inside the stone lion split, releasing extremely terrifying energy and temperature.
Bai Hongtu stretched out his big hand, held the stone lion in his hand, and the explosion occurred in his palm, without any loss of power.
“Celestial Meteorite!”
With the Sect Hierarch’s loud shout, the world’s karma subtly changed, a slight deviation appeared in the orbit of a certain asteroid, rubbing against the atmosphere, carrying light and fire, aiming to hit Jiang Li. Jiang Li lightly fanned it, flashing the asteroid back to its original orbit.
“Don’t embarrass yourself at this level.”
Bai Hongtu swung a fist, the Sect Hierarch used spatial power, creating a small space in front of him, trying to block Bai Hongtu. But Bai Hongtu’s punch was too heavy and strong, it broke through the small space and hammered the Sect Hierarch’s chest, making his heart stop for a few seconds.
“Are you capable at all? You want to rule the world at this level?”
Bai Hongtu scorned.
The Sect Hierarch was blown away, Jiang Li appeared behind him, mimicking Bai Hongtu, punching the Sect Hierarch back in Bai Hongtu’s direction.
The Sect Hierarch was like a volleyball, flying around between the two.
“It’s you who forced me… Ah, my tongue…”
The Sect Hierarch was enraged, just as he was about to talk tough, he bit his tongue.
“Have you ever fought with anyone? How dare you speak during a fight?” Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu found the Sect Hierarch to display a lack of tactical knowledge.
Don’t talk during fights, do not use flashy moves, protect your Storage Ring during fights, and don’t consider Jiang Li as your opponent.
All these are known to any practitioner from the nine provinces.
The Sect Hierarch’s rage ultimately proved useful. He gave a remarkable performance, using spatial power to move a hundred meters away, then Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu changed places to fight him.
The Sect Hierarch kept changing places, and the two of them continually swapped locations to do the beating. The Director General below, upon seeing this, believed he had stepped into an illusion.
Was this still the notorious, invincible mysterious Sect Hierarch?
The Sect Hierarch changed strategies and used the “Ghostification” power that made his body temporarily untouchable.
Bai Hongtu missed, letting the Sect Hierarch escape.
“This odd power indeed resembles the ‘Invisible in Standing’ Dao method of my Dao Sect.”
The Sect Hierarch panted heavily, he felt his prided robust body was like elastic clay in front of these two, manipulated at will.
“You two are fighting one, unfair, dare to fight one-on-one!”
The Sect Hierarch finally understood that he couldn’t possibly fight two people simultaneously. Divide and conquer was the best strategy.
“So, who do you want to fight first?”
The Sect Hierarch looked at Bai Hongtu and then at Jiang Li.
Experience told him that those with peculiar personalities had stronger abilities. Someone like Bai Hongtu, who laughed and joked, was extremely terrifying. You would never know his strength. Conversely, Jiang Li, a typically serious person, had power not exceeding too many specifications.
“Jiang Li, you be my opponent.”
Bai Hongtu gave a thumbs up and praised: “Sharp eyes! You recognized at a glance that he is weaker than me!”
The Sect Hierarch remained silent, removing two reinforcing axes from his storage space.
Jiang Li pondered. As a sign of respect, after finishing the candied haw, he wiped the sugar from the corner of his mouth and chose to fight with the leftover skewer.
“Take my axe!” The Sect Hierarch shouted, gathered strength, swung his arm, and wielded both axes.
Jiang Li leisurely sidestepped, breached the Sect Hierarch’s approach and casually blocked with the skewer. The collision sounded louder than thunder.
The Sect Hierarch was shocked to find that when his axe hit the stick, it notched, while the stick remained intact.
The Sect Hierarch panicked, using the plethora of odd powers in conjunction with the axes; wishing to create a slight chance of victory.
However, no matter how hard the Sect Hierarch tried, Jiang Li seemed to handle it all effortlessly, not showing the slightest hint of concern.
The Sect Hierarch raged wildly, but it was to no avail.
Jiang Li stepped forward and stabbed the Sect Hierarch, leaving him chilled.
This wasn’t a fatal injury to the Sect Hierarch. He tightly grasped Jiang Li’s arm, the bloody corner of his mouth revealing a smiling curve.
“I finally caught you, Power Absorption!”
