Chapter 113 Crushing
Chapter 113 Crushing
Seeing that Kang Yizhi actually made a move.
The members of the Kang, Yin, and Yan families were all taken aback and remained speechless for a long time.
The most surprised person was County Magistrate Kang. He simply couldn't understand how he could get rid of Yin Wuji by using Young Master Lun's help. It couldn't be more cost-effective.
Why would Kang Yizhi, the son he trusted most and who was usually meticulous and extremely aloof, suddenly step in to help his mortal enemy, Yin Wuji?
"Yizhi, you mustn't be rude! Get out of here!"
County Magistrate Kang roared angrily.
To everyone's surprise, Kang Yi ignored him completely. He just stared intently at the spirit of Lun Baiyang. His eyes, which always carried three parts arrogance, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance, were now filled with rage.
He felt that his self-esteem had been deeply offended by the demon in front of him.
It's as if all his hard work and dedication over the years have been a joke.
A trivial joke.
"Kang Yizhi, you..."
Yin Wuji's voice was dry and incredulous.
Similarly, it can be said to be very fair.
Kang Yizhi ignored Yin Wuji.
He was in a very bad mood at the moment.
At least until today, he lived a very proper life, a model scion of a distinguished family.
Today could have been the same.
It was only the last day of the provincial martial arts examination. With his perfect eighth-rank strength, he could easily obtain the title of martial arts candidate.
Then, naturally, he returned to the Kang family with this honor and officially took up the mantle of the next generation.
However, the appearance of Aries, seemingly just to snatch Yin Wuji's silver token, made Kang Yizhi feel that the other party was trampling on his dignity.
Is the title of a martial arts examination graduate something that can be so easily plundered and bought and sold cheaply?
Can Yin Wuji, who is also a martial arts candidate, be arbitrarily insulted and bullied by the demon race?
This humiliation touched the proudest and most inviolable part of Kang Yizhi's heart. He could accept losing to a fellow clansman, but he absolutely could not tolerate a demon clan playboy suddenly appearing and using this method to humiliate his martial arts examination title!
Even if the other person is stronger than me, it won't work!
Seeing their prey escape unscathed, and new prey jumping out on its own, Aries seemed much more excited:
"Interesting, very interesting... It's been too long since you've come out and about. You despicable upright apes have all forgotten who the true masters of the Great Wilderness are."
The smile on his face slowly turned cold.
A cruel killing intent began to emanate from those golden, demonic eyes.
"Now that you're here, let's not leave!"
As Aries suddenly clasped his hands together in front of his chest, he quickly pulled them apart. With that gesture, the chill within a ten-zhang radius centered on him instantly increased several times over!
Thick white frost began to condense on the ground, and the moisture from people's breath seemed to freeze, with creaking sounds coming from all over the air.
Even the martial artists watching from below the arena were now trembling, their legs were numb, and some were unsteady on their feet.
Between Aries' hands, six points of dark blue light suddenly lit up, and the light quickly lengthened, transforming into six crystal-clear ice cones, each about two feet long!
As soon as these ice spikes appeared, they seemed to come alive, slowly swirling around his spirit body, their blue light flowing around them.
Its speed varies, and its trajectory is unpredictable.
Sometimes they intertwine, sometimes they separate.
It hovered in the air, subtly blocking all possible angles from which Kang Yizhi and Yin Wuji could dodge.
"go!"
Aries, with fingers pointing like a sword, moves forward a little.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The six ice spikes moved simultaneously, no longer attacking in a straight line, but drawing dazzling and complex trajectories in the air, covering and coordinating with each other.
The sound of something cutting through the air was sharp and mournful, like the wailing of a wronged soul. Before the ice spikes even arrived, the terrifying chill that froze their blood and qi had already completely enveloped the two of them!
Kang Yizhi and Yin Wuji's expressions changed drastically. They had considered having one person hold the carriage back while the other attacked it.
Aries' movements are just too fast!
The power of these six ice spikes launched simultaneously far surpassed any previous attack. The two quickly stood back to back, pushing their remaining vital energy to its limit.
One person uses a coupon, and the other uses a finger.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The sounds of intense collisions and sharp slamming into flesh rang out almost simultaneously.
Kang Yizhi punched, deflecting two ice spikes, but the third one grazed his ribs, sending a spray of blood flying.
Yin Wuji fared even worse. Already injured, his reflexes were now even slower, barely managing to deflect an ice spike. One ice spike pierced his left shoulder socket, while another grazed his neck, not hitting his trachea artery, but still leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash!
The two fell to the ground almost simultaneously, their wounds instantly freezing and covered in frost. Yin Wuji was more seriously injured, his face as white as paper, his breath extremely weak, and he was about to faint.
The six ice spikes did not lose control after being knocked down or hit. Instead, they gathered in the air, circled once, and changed direction again, all aimed at the two people who were lying on the ground.
It looks like the final blow is about to be delivered!
"That's enough!"
A furious shout rang out, and a fiery red figure instantly pierced the center of the arena.
General Wang Jingyi has finally made his move!
His body was surging with energy, as hot as magma, forcibly pushing away the oppressive chill a foot away, without making any other move.
But the six ice spikes, upon encountering the scorching heat spreading outwards, seemed to lose control and fell to the ground simultaneously, unable to rise again.
"Young Master Lun! The martial arts examination grounds are a place designated by the imperial court. Yin Wuji initiated the challenge, so I couldn't say much. But now that he's severely injured and defeated, the outcome is decided. Why do you still want to kill him in public? Do you really intend to disregard the laws of the imperial court?"
Wang Jingyi's face was ashen as he stared at the spirit of Lun Baiyang, asking questions almost word by word.
His powerful aura, befitting a fifth-grade martial artist, was released without restraint, like a volcano about to erupt. The chill controlled by the Aries Spirit Body was simply no match for it.
At this moment, the deputy general, Lun Saga, also made his move. He stood between the two, erected a barrier, and blocked Wang Jingyi's outward release of qi and blood, which made Lun Baiyang feel a little better.
Seeing that the rebel generals had all made their moves, and that their own side, Lun Sajia, showed no intention of launching a major attack.
The Aries have finally stopped moving.
The Great Fan Dynasty court, in its discussions and promotion of nobility, traditionally favored those who achieved military merit.
For example, his brother Lun Bailang earned his position as a chiliarch (commander of a thousand men) through hard work and fighting in the border army.
Aries, who was pampered since childhood, wanted an official position. Even though he had the strength of a sixth-rank official, he did not want to suffer and take risks in the military. So he suddenly had the idea to "buy" a title from the human race.
After all, within the demon race, every radish is a pit.
On the contrary, the human race is weak and easy to bully.
If we take it by force, even if it means killing a few people, there won't be any problems.
But now that he has seen Wang Jingyi, the rebel general, take action, he will not risk angering General Wang by continuing to kill him.
"General Wang, you flatter me. I was merely testing the mettle of these two martial arts candidates to see if they lived up to their reputation. As it turns out, they are nothing special."
