"Ten Thousand Valleys Return to the Origin!"
A great burst of Spirit Light erupted from Ruan Jinglun’s body, and a vast illusion of the Spiritual Mountain Fairyland instantly appeared behind him. Then, in a moment, it all converged back into his body.
"Boom!"
An immense and majestic Star Power Fluctuation emanated from Ruan Jinglun, his black hair rising without wind, as if an infinite Kunlun resided within his chest!
"Already releasing so soon?" the Fool chuckled.
Then Ruan Jinglun raised a hand and pointed at the Golden Seal. The illusion of mountains briefly flickered on the seal before suddenly disappearing before him.
In the next moment, the Golden Seal reappeared above the Fool’s head, its size now magnified countless times, crashing down on him with no escape!
"Boom!"
A muffled roar ensued, making the earth quake!
With the power of the released True Form of mountains and valleys empowering the Golden Seal, it pinned and crushed its target with enormous force, enough to flatten even Three Suns Peak into a meat paste!
Previously, when the Dragon Vein first appeared, this attack was cleaved by Phoenix’s supreme sword, but this time, it clearly hit the mark!
Just then, a flash of Spirit Light sparkled high in the sky, revealing the Fool unscathed, reappearing in mid-air!
"What!" Yang Ming and the others exclaimed in shock.
Ruan Jinglun also furrowed his brows tightly, speaking with a somber tone:
"Indeed, just like Yang Ming’s Ten Thousand Snake Thunder earlier, this Fool somehow evaded the attack through some means.
And it’s neither displacement nor Substitute Technique..."
Yang Ming asked, "Then what is it?"
Ruan Jinglun raised his hand to recall the Golden Seal, shook his head after a brief contemplation, and said, "I still haven’t figured it out."
"Are you pondering over my strength?"
At that moment, a flash of Holy Light appeared, and the Fool had already darted to the group’s side.
Yang Ming and the other experts were all startled, Blackthorn, Mountain God Stone... Various attacks simultaneously landed on the Fool, tearing him apart in an instant!
However, in the next moment, a flash of Spirit Light appeared behind the group, and the Fool suddenly reappeared, intact.
Yang Ming shouted angrily, "Courting death!"
Previously, Yang Ming was already indignant as the Fool easily dodged hundreds of Thunder Flash Line Snakes.
Now, seeing the opponent kill Meng Zha Yue and swagger close, how could he stand such arrogance!
"Crackle!"
A surge of Thunder Light engulfed him, transforming Yang Ming into a mass of violet and blue electric Energy Body. Then he opened his right hand, and a tangled Thunder Saber landed in his grip.
"Thunderbolt Charge!"
Assuming a drawing stance, the Thunderbolt Light ignited, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Ming slashed past the Fool.
With Yang Ming’s current speed, the Fool couldn’t evade even at close range, let alone in mid-air. The Thunder Light sliced him into halves.
Yet, in the next moment, a flash of Spirit Light revealed the Fool, again perfectly intact at a short distance.
Yang Ming pivoted on his foot, transforming into lightning to attack once more!
But as the Thunder Saber clove through illusion after illusion of the Fool, the real one always emerged unscathed.
"An illusion? Afterimage?"
The Qilin Imperial contingent, attacking in unison, felt a mix of doubt and suspicion.
"No, that’s not it!"
Ruan Jinglun observed the Fool evading the relentless pursuit of the Thunder Saber, subtly comprehending something.
Right then, the Fool abruptly stopped, drawing the sword at his waist, now poised against Yang Ming’s chest...
Yang Ming’s pupils shook, unable to lower the Thunder Saber aimed at the Fool’s head.
Not being a close-quarters combat specialist, Yang Ming’s many slashes had given the Fool an opening.
In that critical moment, Ruan Jinglun flung the Golden Seal from his hand, and instantaneously it expanded massively, ready to smash down on the Fool and Yang Ming alike.
The Fool’s eyes flickered, his form blurred into a streak of Golden Light, retreating deftly to avoid the Golden Seal.
However, Ruan Jinglun’s eyes gleamed. Just as the massive Golden Seal was about to crush Yang Ming, it abruptly shrank back to palm-sized.
"It really is like this!" Ruan Jinglun’s eyes lit up, grasping the other’s ability, "It’s Foreknowledge of the Future!"
In front, the Fool looked at Ruan Jinglun, chuckled lightly, and nodded in praise, "Heh... You realized so quickly? Very sharp."
Yang Ming then transformed back from Lightning, retreating with a long exhale.
"Old Ruan, what’s going on?" Yang Ming, pale-faced and still slightly shaken, asked.
Among the four chief members of the Hidden Sect, Meng Zha Yue was female, and Wenren Feng was quite reclusive.
So, Yang Ming and Ruan Jinglun had quite a good relationship.
Now, Ruan Jinglun looked gravely at the Fool ahead: "If my guess is correct, he should have the ability to foresee imminent attacks and evade them in advance, thus genuinely avoiding them."
