Ch 47: I Hate Minotaurs
“I’ll handle that Minotaur. You deal with the other three.”
“He’s strong.”
“I know, so please quickly deal with the other three enemies.”
Sitian and Xia Jiuyuan were back-to-back, confronting the four figures surrounding them.
She was surprised that Xia Jiuyuan hadn’t boasted about handling it himself, but instead told her to quickly deal with her three opponents.
He’s really confident in himself…
Sitian knew the names of these four people; they were all Strong Persons from the Grave King Beast Court, Phantom Dark Branch, completely different from that Old Butler Hans!
The Life-Taking Scorpion, Ten Thousand Charms Six Tails, and Infant Cry Horse Belly. Facing these three Geniuses, two of whom had mental powers that countered her, it would be good enough if she could win with difficulty. Now, she was being asked to quickly resolve the battle!
Sitian wasn’t dejected at this moment; instead, her face wore a slightly manic smile of desperation.
“This is truly challenging. The legendary Princess of the Western Territory will add a new miracle!”
As her voice fell, golden barriers rose from the ground, dividing the battlefield into three sections.
The first battlefield: Princess Sitian, Dorank, Fang Youer, and Karoia.
The second battlefield: Xia Jiuyuan and Entil.
The third battlefield: Na’er.
Sitian didn’t know where Xia Jiuyuan got his power from, but she believed that even if a Second Rank obtained Non-Human power, he absolutely couldn’t adapt to Non-Human combat.
If it were a 2v4, Xia Jiuyuan would likely die instantly in such a chaotic situation.
Therefore, Sacred Separation Technique, forcibly dividing the battlefield!
Fang Youer looked at Sitian with alluring eyes, allowing her to cast her Spell.
“Princess Sitian, actually, I’ve always admired you.”
“I’ll give you a chance to challenge me alone.”
She wagged the tail behind her. “Then forget it. The fact that we haven’t directly attacked you today is already our greatest respect.”
Sitian didn’t speak further. She lightly raised her Staff, and an astonishing aura erupted from beneath the ground.
“Be careful!”
Karoia’s warning sounded at the same time as the cracking of the rock layers.
Elemental Magic—Gaia’s Punishment.
When the very earth we rely on becomes our enemy—
The earth melted into liquid, rock layers churned like waves, and fissures swallowed the four of them.
The earth element abandoned its stable state and began a violent, indiscriminate attack.
“Madman!”
Dorank cursed. This was a wide-range, indiscriminate spell, very troublesome, but as long as they flew into the air, it would be fine.
Dorank, Fang Youer, and Karoia all thought this and immediately resisted with all their might to leave the ground.
Then they saw Sitian falling, holding a dark blue, anchor-shaped object in her hand.
Fang Youer’s expression changed drastically; she already regretted giving Sitian time.
Sky Inversion Anchor.
Once activated, with the anchor tip as the center, all non-living bodies or all living bodies would swap positions along the horizontal axis.
Swish!
The ground disappeared, revealing Sitian, who had been swallowed. Simultaneously, above the sky, the suddenly appearing liquid earth swallowed the three of them, blocking out the sun and sky!
————
The second battlefield.
“Old Ox is curious, have we met somewhere?”
Entil’s dark, toned muscles gleamed with a bronze luster under the sun, his three-meter great axe resting on his shoulder.
This Minotaur warrior, standing at two and a half meters, watched Xia Jiuyuan from not far away, the white steam from his nostrils clearly visible.
“We haven’t.”
Xia Jiuyuan was currently getting used to his current body’s condition; this was the first time he had accepted Zhan’s power.
He was very confident now, even feeling that he could defeat Jun Liuhe!
“I somehow feel you have great hostility towards Old Ox…”
Entil’s bull ears twitched. “Never mind, you won’t live today anyway.”
Before the last word had even finished, his three-meter great axe was already approaching Xia Jiuyuan’s neck.
Xia Jiuyuan’s pupils contracted sharply—the combat between Non-Humans was too counter-intuitive.
Such a massive body, speaking so blankly, yet moving so fast, initiating attacks in zero frames.
Time Intent, Slow.
The world suddenly turned viscous. The moment the reversed axe was blocked, immense power erupted along the sword, sending Xia Jiuyuan flying backward. Blood beads from his split tiger’s mouth drew arcs in the air.
Before he could adjust his stance, a shadow loomed overhead, covering half the sky—Entil had crushed the rock layers and leaped into the sky, his great axe swinging with a crescent moon’s cold light.
Facing such a crisis, Xia Jiuyuan’s scalp tingled.
The power difference was still too great; Zhan was useless!
“Idiot, you can fly now.”
While bleeding in the air, Xia Jiuyuan heard Zhan’s prompt and felt quite speechless.
Being able to fly didn’t mean knowing how to fly. He had only just borrowed the power, how could he immediately learn to fly.
Helpless, Xia Jiuyuan twisted in mid-air, crossing his Twin Swords to block the great axe’s attack. The powerful Impact Force sent him crashing towards the ground.
The ground cracked like a spiderweb, and he was pinned into the rock layers, the wound on his right shoulder revealing his bone-white collarbone.
“Truly weak, but for a Second Rank, this is already unbelievably strong…”
Entil sensed that Xia Jiuyuan was severely injured. He reached out to recall his great axe, then prepared to leave this place and head to the main battlefield to deal with Sitian.
After all, their target had always been Sitian. Although he believed his three teammates could handle her, it was better to return sooner just to be safe.
“Damn Minotaur!”
Entil froze and turned to look at the severely injured Xia Jiuyuan. He had, at some unknown time, climbed back up and was pointing at him with the white sword in his hand, slicing through the dust.
His forehead was stained red with blood, and he was breathing heavily. A large gash on his right shoulder, cut by his own axe blade.
“My opponent is me.”
Entil shook his head in confusion. “Old Ox was kind enough to spare your life, but you don’t appreciate it.”
Saying that, he flashed in front of Xia Jiuyuan.
Axe Intent, Move Mountain!
The great axe, now carrying the momentum of crushing mountains, swung towards Xia Jiuyuan’s waist.
A force field as heavy as a thousand jin suddenly descended, rendering Xia Jiuyuan’s body immobile. He felt as if a mountain were pressing down on his shoulders, allowing Entil to cleave him.
Zhan within Xia Jiuyuan’s body was speechless. He had said he couldn’t directly intervene, so why was this man acting so recklessly?
But he couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t just let Xia Jiuyuan die, so he could only glare at the battlefield with frustration, preparing to intervene.
At the last moment, Xia Jiuyuan felt the Shuò in his hand. This was his Mistress’s sword, containing Spatial Intent.
During this time, he had been trying to communicate and learn Void Intent, but it was as difficult to learn as Time Intent, and he hadn’t achieved much success.
He wanted to learn Void Intent quickly by putting himself in a life-or-death situation!
What is Space?
At this moment, he thought of many things: the relationship between motion and spatial contraction, the relationship between time and space.
Since he could use Time Intent, how could he not use Void Intent?
A flash of inspiration, and it came naturally.
Void Intent, Flash!
At the critical moment, Xia Jiuyuan flashed behind Entil.
Time Intent, Swift,
Time Intent, Slow.
The great axe shattered the afterimage, and the hairs on Entil’s nape stood on end. The silver light of the Twin Swords crossing fell from the sky, empowered by the dual application of Time Intent, slashing towards his nape.
The twin blades cut through his skin. Just as Xia Jiuyuan thought he would win, something unexpected happened.
The twin blades seemed to encounter resistance and got stuck in the flesh!
Void Intent, Flash!
Swish! Xia Jiuyuan decisively flashed away. In the next moment, the revolving axe light swept past the spot where he had stood.
Entil looked shocked, rough breaths puffing from his bull nostrils.
“You could actually wound Old Ox? That shouldn’t be possible, unless… these two swords are Catastrophe Grade!”
Xia Jiuyuan’s face looked grim now. Time Intent and Void Intent consumed too much Spiritual Energy. His attack hadn’t seriously injured the enemy, and now he was in big trouble.
