After entering the valley, Jiutian deliberately slowed down his speed so that if they saw him, they would think he was getting tired.
And so, due to Jiutian running at a slightly slower speed than before, the cultivators behind him came within a close distance of about 90 to 100 meters.
As a result, after a moment, when Jiutian reached the exact middle of the valley,
Right, then, at the moment, a 70 to 80 meters.
"Wind Sword Tempest."
"Yin Ice Blade Slash,"
"Tiger Claw Piercing."
Earth Pillar Strike."
"Wind Sword Slash",
"Nine Leaf Thrust".
Swish! ~ Slashhh… Boooooooommm!!!!
Various types of offensive techniques were launched centered at Jiutian.
Jiutian could see the clash and attack of numerous powerful energies behind him, but because the distance between the assailants was beyond his specialized range, he could only crazily shift his path to avoid most of the attacks.
In the face of these unknown, overwhelming attacks, Jiutian didn't cower and continued to advance with dignity and confidence, waiting for the right moment and absolute opportunity.
Banng! Banng! Banng! Banng!
BAAAAANNNNNGGG!!!!
By now, few of the previous attacks had struck his body like rain, but before they could do any damage, due to the strong protective items and talisman he was wearing, those attacks failed to harm Jiutian's body and only shook his clothes before quickly vanishing.
He can't help but silently wait for the right timing.
"A little more, just a little more…
Suddenly, Jiutian's thoughts were cut short, and his body turned cold with anger and killing intent. Because, along with the powerful attacks, he faintly heard several mocking voices from the attackers; it seemed as if this was not a matter of life and death but just a game of cat and mouse.
"Hahaha, Lord Pei. I'm afraid to attack him, lest the powerful items get destroyed. His whole body is covered with expensive protective items, selling even one of which would make us rich overnight. If I hadn't listened to you, Rushen, I would have truly missed a great fortune."
"My lord, I can't believe the rumors were true, that an asshole has come from somewhere, who dug up an immortal grave and became rich overnight. Now I have truly seen that infamous idiot with my own two eyes.
"Calm down, all of you; it's just a little while longer. He's already very tired. I think he's probably been chased like this several times before, but, fortunately, he managed to escape. So, we must say we are lucky that he has finally fallen into our hands."
After hearing their conversation and casual manner without any tension, Jiutian understood well that they had completely underestimated him. Because from the beginning, Jiutian had only presented the strength of his early-stage cultivation and the fact that he used various items to increase his speed.
For this reason, the attackers had unknowingly misunderstood Jiutian and fallen into his trap.
And so, in the next few moments, several more waves of various attacks had already crashed upon his body several times. But, like before, they repeatedly failed to do any harm to Jiutian's body, only destroying a few talismans and items.
Although the attacks weren't harming him severely, he felt a great sense of apprehension and anxiety. After all, even a blind man wouldn't want a child to take advantage of his lack of sight and kick him from behind while he was crossing a ditch.
Still repeatedly attacked like this, Jiutian did not despair but strengthened himself even more and calmly waited for the right time.
"Just a little bit more waiting. When they get within my precise range, the game is over. At that time, I'll teach them why fire attacks are the most powerful among attacks that cause messes to feel despair...."
"65m, 60m, 55m; a little more, just a little more
distance left."
CRRRASHHHHH*CRAAACKKK
Suddenly, Jiutian felt a powerful sensation in his body.
It was so strong that anyone else in his place would have fallen straight to the ground.
At the same time, a powerful, serious, and stern voice shook the dark valley, stopping the noise of the densely packed beasts and insects inside the valley.
Even the other four attackers stopped their jokes and fell silent.
"You slippery bastard, I told you before to stop running and willingly give me everything you have to just protect your pathetic life, but instead of listening, you kept running, and now you've ended up in this valley of poisonous snakes and insects.
Do you think we'd lose you in this deep valley?
Hahaha, how amusing! Now you're trapped in your own net, which you cannot escape."
Suddenly, due to the powerful senses of the Mid-Stage Cultivator, Jiutian's movement speed decreased, even though his body took no damage.
"For the last time, turn around and surrender; don't test my patience anymore. If you stop now, bow your head and apologize, then maybe, if my heart softens, I'll keep your whole body intact…"
Actually, Pei Xuan's eye hurts because every time each of their attacks destroys protective items on the Jiutian body, so despite almost catching the lucky rabbit, he wants to minimize the loss.
At this moment, due to the improvement of Jiutian's mortal senses, he was already able to fully guess the position of the Mid-Stage person by listening to his voice and footsteps.
45m, 40m, 35m.
Just when the group of men had come within 35 meters of Jiutian's range, he suddenly stopped on his feet and turned around, mentally commanding his original Hearthfire judgment flame to instantly summon ten head-sized fireballs that were hovering above his head.
Before the cultivators chasing behind him at high speed could even react, Jiutian directly threw the ten floating fireballs, which glowed with a burning orange color, at them.
In the blink of an eye, balls of fire quickly struck the attackers.
BOOOOOOOMMMM
BOOOOOOOOMM
BOOOOMMM
….
….
…
At that very moment, startled, shocked and panicked screams echoed throughout the valley. The sudden attack from Jiutian, combined with a sudden shift in their specific movement formation technique, was enough to strangle them.
"Shit!"
"Fast!"
"NOOOOOOOO..."
"Get out of the way!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!!
The mid-stage Qi cultivator, who was directly behind Jiutian, used an unknown footwork method to shift a few steps to his right side to dodge the oncoming fireballs.
However, his sudden change in technique broke their previous movement formation, causing the five cultivators behind him to suffer a sudden backlash.
"Ahhhhhh….."
"Nooooooo.."
"Please... help... me... I don't want to die... e.
ARGHHH..."
At that moment, five of the fireballs, despite being intentionally aimed at the Mid-stage cultivator, missed him and directly hit the Early-Level cultivator right behind him.
Whooooshhh…
Whoooshhh…
Swishh…
BOOOOOMMM
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Although he had managed to dodge the first two fireballs, he was still hit by the next fireball, which consumed him completely. A second later, the man, along with all the vegetation and even the ground within a 10-meter radius around him, was incinerated; not a shred of ash remained where he had stood.
By then, Jiutian's remaining fireballs struck other attackers.
Boom!..Swish!
Boom!..Swish!Boom!..Swish!
Boom!..Swish!Boom!..Swish!..
Booooooooooom!!
Although the others were suddenly strangled by the movement technique backlash and hit by the fireballs, because they were at a considerable distance, it gave them enough time to use their various skillful methods to avoid the fireballs.
Upon seeing that most of the attackers were still alive despite his sudden, powerful attack, and not giving them a moment to breathe, Jiutian decided to attack again with ten more summoned fireballs.
But at that moment, he felt a cold, naked killing intent that made the hair on his body stand on end. Instantly, Jiutian stopped his attack and quickly moved a few meters to his right.
Slashhhhhh!!!!×BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
A crimson, one-meter-thick sword slash hit his previous location, creating a pit about 10 meters long and a One meter deep.
Before Jiutian could even understand what happened, Pei Xuan raised his sword vertically to strike Jiutian again.
Slashhh!!!!* BOOOMMM..
Jiutian tried to change his position again to evade the attack, but...
Claw!×!!!Swing..××..Clanggg.×..Swish!!!
At the same moment, the four Early-Level cultivators who had survived the previous fireball attack launched several new offensive techniques at Jiutian.
As a result, unable to change his position, Jiutian quickly pulled a hand shield from his space ring and slammed it on the ground.
BANNNG!!!!
A one-meter-thick, 5-meter-wide, and ten-meter-high layer of earthly boulders surrounded him to stop all incoming attacks on Jiutian, except for the powerful sword strike from the mid-stage cultivator.
CRACKT..×… CRACKED..×..CRACK!!!
This sword slash broke the boulder in the middle and rapidly moved toward Jiutian at less than half its previous speed.
By that time, Jiutian had already moved several meters to his left.
And when he was about to counterattack, he felt danger again; he quickly moved backwards, then drew a gray-white sword with his right hand to instantly vertically slash in front of him.
At that time, Pei Xuan, using an unknown movement technique, already come behind, within a meter of Jiutian. But because of Jiutian's sharp instinct and sudden attack, Pei Xuan missed the absolute chance, so he gripped his heavy, two-meter-long sword with both hands to use all his body's strength to deliver a horizontal counter slash towards Jiutian's head to waist.
SLASHH...×CLANG!!!
These two swords strike, one crimson and the other golden strike destroy each other and sending massive destructive airwaves around them.
The subsequent recoil from the clash of powerful Mid-Level energy forced Jiutian to step back a few paces.
SWISHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
The remaining energy of Pei Xuan's powerful technique only grazed Jiutian's clothes and rushed past him.
As a result, Jiutian's black clothes were torn and tattered in most places, except for the areas with talismans and items attached to them, revealing a beautifully crafted royal robe underneath.
Although Pei Xuan rooted to his spot without backing a step, seeing such strength from Jiutian, he was extremely shocked.
According to his knowledge, this idiotic fool, who was famous in the city, was usually an early cultivator.
Then why was his sword strike, fueled by his mid-stage cultivation base, stopped by this fool, whose attack power is now on par with his?
Besides, Pei Xuan was certain that in their previous clash that fool didn't use any forbidden items to boost his attack power.
In this cat and mouse game, the first time Pei Xuan felt threatened, he abandoned his arrogant manor and cautiously stepped forward to test the Jiutian's strength.
When Pei Xuan quickly advanced a few steps, he directly attacked Jiutian's neck with a close-range horizontal slash of his heavy sword.
"Let's see how you block this attack?"
SLASH...
By then, Jiutian had also decided to eliminate the attackers' group, since there was no third party to interfere in the secluded valley.
