High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 1021 - 472: Assassination! A Moment of Life and Death (Double-Length)
Previously on High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System...
If Jiang Ye’s strength is strong enough to exert a higher effect of ’Broken Mirror Reunited’, then there would be no such concerns.
Soon.
Jiang Ye no longer thought about it and clicked on the Merit Points exchange page to purchase several demigod level Law Fruits.
"Just right."
"My Mysterious Law is only one step away from the next level." Jiang Ye thought to himself, "These merits have come at the perfect time."
...
Three days later, at dawn.
The gate of Bright Heart Hall slowly opened, and Jiang Ye, dressed in black, with a figure tall as a pine, stepped out.
The Heaven and Earth Power in the core area was as dense as a tide, the star marks on his body flickered slightly, and his aura was solid and unadorned, heading towards the outer gate of the Crimson Divine Race.
The small gathering at Red Mansion involved a massive amount of merit points and exchanges with geniuses, and he was determined to win.
Along the way, the guards of the Crimson Divine Race saw him and respectfully saluted, not daring to show any negligence.
Jiang Ye’s steps were steady, his Divine Thought spread out, alert to the movements around him.
With the Hundred-Star Divine War imminent, he knew he had many enemies and dared not relax for a moment.
Suddenly, an extreme sense of crisis, like ice water pouring over his head, swept through his body in an instant!
This sense of crisis came without warning, yet it was intense to the extreme, as if in the next second he would face death and annihilation!
"Not good."
An alarm sounded fiercely in Jiang Ye’s heart; under the blessing of fortune, his intuition had never been wrong—this was a deadly crisis!
He almost instinctively raised his hand to activate the Divine Decree at his wrist—that was a token given by Venerable Bai, capable of summoning godly means three times!
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Buzz——!"
A dark purple light curtain suddenly emerged from the void, instantly enveloping a hundred miles around, trapping Jiang Ye tightly within.
On the light curtain, strange runes were densely packed, exuding an ancient and majestic aura. It was indeed a divine-level sealing treasure!
"A divine-level treasure?" Jiang Ye’s pupils shrank sharply.
Enveloping a hundred miles seemed trivial, but this was the Huanglong Main Star, where powerful restrictions were everywhere, even the Ninth Break could hardly fly in the void.
A treasure capable of enveloping a hundred-mile range was beyond imagination!
He tried to activate the Divine Decree but found that the divine power within his body was as if frozen, and the connection with the Divine Decree was completely severed, utterly unable to be activated.
"It’s a sealing-type treasure." Jiang Ye instantly understood.
In the shadows, Huihe’s lips curled into a sinister smile.
He had lurked for hundreds of years, knowing the laws of Huanglong Main Star like the back of his hand.
"Though divine-level offensive treasures are deadly, they would be instantly suppressed by the city’s formation restrictions."
"But sealing treasures are different." Huihe understood this clearly, "They do not directly kill, but can block god-level means, and even prevent the activation of same-tier treasures."
"Moreover... this kid definitely carries divine-level treasures bestowed by Venerables."
"Without sealing first, there is absolutely no chance of success!" Huihe’s heart was crystal clear.
He had waited too long for this day.
This piece of [Divine Sealing Light Curtain] was a supreme treasure he had exchanged with his lifetime savings, prepared especially for today’s assassination.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three intense explosions erupted almost simultaneously, three pitch-black thunder orbs, a battle saber swirling with flames, and a shield covered with spikes crashed towards Jiang Ye from three directions.
All were treasures of the Tier Four Demigod Peak level, powerful enough to kill any Tier Three Demigod!
The thunder orbs burst, pouring purple-black lightning like a waterfall, containing soul-annihilating power; the battle saber slashed, flames overwhelming, severing the void, carrying the threat to burn everything; the giant shield crushed down, immense and powerful, seemingly ready to collapse the space.
The three treasures formed an airtight encirclement, terrifying energy fluctuation swept in all directions, making the Heaven and Earth Power in the core area churn violently.
In the view of outsiders, under this strike, Jiang Ye had absolutely no way to survive!
"Star River Divine Body, activate!"
Jiang Ye shouted inwardly, the million star marks on his body instantly lit up, the starlight dazzling, with the hardness of the divine body soaring, like an immortal star.
"Void Dharma Aspect, condense!"
The ten-thousand-foot Dharma Aspect rose from the ground, its outline blurred, star river glow flowing from the corners of its eyes, arms crossed in front, forming an extremely solid defense.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Thunder, flames, and the giant shield continuously struck the Dharma Aspect, emitting deafening roars.
The terrifying energy shock wave spread out, creating huge craters in the surrounding ground, rubble flying, smoke and dust spreading.
The Void Dharma Aspect trembled violently, its surface covered with dense cracks, and golden divine blood seeped from within the aspect, clearly having endured a massive impact.
Jiang Ye also felt unwell, his blood surging, throat sweetened with the taste of blood, nearly spitting out a mouthful which he forcefully swallowed back.
"Such powerful force!" Jiang Ye’s heart was shaken.
The combined strike of these three peak Tier Four demigod treasures far exceeded his expectations. If not for the Star River Divine Body and the Void Dharma Aspect providing layered defenses, he might have already suffered a severe injury.
"Luckily."
"My Mysterious Law has already reached the Peak of Tier Three Demigod level." Jiang Ye secretly rejoiced.
Though only a hundred days have passed.
On the other hand, over there in the Dao body, several years have gone by.
The Five Great Mysteries and Two Great Laws enabled him, at the peak of Tier Three Demigod, to already rival Tier Four Demigods.
.....
In the midst of dust and smoke, the grey silhouette charged forward like a ghost.
The robe flapped sharply, emitting a dense aura of death, his aura had already reached the limit of a demigod!
He had lurked for three hundred years, having touched the threshold of godhood, just one step away from breakthrough.
"A few months ago, the intel said he was only in the early period of Tier Three Demigod."
A flicker of dread flashed in his eyes, quickly turning to ruthlessness: "In such a short time, already rivaling Tier Four Demigods?"
The intel couldn’t be wrong, but the strength Jiang Ye exhibited right before him overturned his understanding.
In just a few months, from Tier Three Demigod to Tier Four Demigod?
Such cultivation speed, even the most talented wouldn’t be so exaggerated!!
"No wonder the Venerable wants this person dead." His heart felt ice-cold: "If this person rises, it would be a great disaster for Cangxu Civilization!"
Towards Cangxu Civilization, he actually had little affection.
He had been lurking in Huanglong for many years, just for his kin, for the sake of future generations.
As long as one of his descendants could Ascend to Divinity, what he had sacrificed would not be in vain!
"After laying the groundwork for so long."
"It’s time to end it." Deadly intent burned in his eyes.
In his hand, he held a pitch-black short blade, the blade surrounded by faint black fog, his life weapon, imbued with deadly poison and the Law of Ruin.
The prior blockade and bombardment were merely to consume Jiang Ye’s defenses, this long-prepared full-force strike was the true killing blow!
"Whoosh!"
His speed reached the extreme, leaving a shadow in the air, the short blade pointed straight at Jiang Ye’s brow with determination to kill.
He aimed to pierce through Jiang Ye’s head in one blow, severing all life, giving the opponent no chance to counter!
As the short blade cut through the air, it emitted a sharp whistle, and the black fog left traces of corrosion wherever it passed, even the void.
"Not good." Jiang Ye’s pupils constricted rapidly, just having endured the treasure bombardment, his divine body and dharma aspect were in a weakened state.
Confronting this sudden, lethal strike, it was already unavoidable!
The cracks on the dharma aspect instantly widened, and the star patterns on the divine body’s surface also dimmed significantly, Jiang Ye could clearly feel the shadow of death speeding towards him.
...
Amidst the intense battle between the two.
Deep within the core region, a vast divine thought suddenly swept over.
"This is bad. It’s a God!" His face drastically changed, sensing the terror of this divine thought far beyond his imagination.
It was indeed the God [Lingxuan] commissioned to secretly protect Jiang Ye!
Lingxuan had been following closely around Jiang Ye, immediately detecting the presence of god-level treasure fluctuations in the core region and instantly locking onto the location.
"Daring to assassinate a Venerable’s disciple, seeking death!"
Lingxuan’s voice carried boundless majesty, reverberating through heaven and earth.
His body surged with divine light, transforming into a stream of light, rushing rapidly towards the battlefield.
Where the divine thought reached, the advanced form of the sealing light curtain began to tremble violently, showing cracks.
Lingxuan was forcibly breaking the blockade, but the battlefield was still some distance away, already too late to prevent his final strike!
A flicker of madness and resolve flashed through his eyes; he knew his time was up.
"Ye Jiang, die!"
He burned his own essence, his aura instantly skyrocketed, and the short blade in his hand carried the terrifying power from burning essence, fiercely stabbing towards Jiang Ye’s brow!
