Chapter 377: Running Rampant (2)

They were intentionally retreating to attack, forcing Yiyi's flower formation to go all-out to prevent the escape. In this way, Yiyi could no longer regrow her plants from their stumps.

In this sort of exchange, Yiyi would inevitably lose.

It really did turn out to be this plan, but this would mean that the Seven Absolutions Sect disciples would also expend considerable power dealing with Yiyi's plants.

It had to be understood that many of these disciples had been maintaining the spiritual energy channels and had already not been at full power. In doing battle against the flower vines, they were certain to expend even more energy.

Mu Yi knew this, but he had no other choice than to say, "He's fighting us all by himself, so he'll use up even more spiritual energy!"

He wasn't wrong. Tang Jie was almost constantly using the Violet Lightning Lunge, Chaoswind Step, and Formless Golden Body in each attack, with basically no gap between each use. After all, he was outnumbered, so he could not afford to be careless.

But this didn't mean that he was without a solution.

As the remaining six people retreated and reformed their defenses, Tang Jie suddenly howled.

He put away his saber.

His hands began to form signs.

Under the protection of the illusion formation, he casually began to prepare a spell art that took a rather long time to prepare, not at all worried about an enemy attack.

As he formed the signs, spiritual energy began to gather.

This sudden convergence of spiritual energy left everyone startled.

In the Heaven Earth Spirit Isolation Formation, where could a spiritual energy convergence come from?

Mu Yi suddenly realized what was going on and shouted, "Oh no, it's coming from Tang Jie himself! He's going all-out!"

Tang Jie raised his head and looked at his opponents. "Heavenly King Mara Incantation!"

As he bellowed, a giant sat up from the mountain, like a Buddha descended to the earth. It extended a hand, pressing it toward the ground. This was none other than the Heavenly King Mara Incantation that Tang Jie had used before.

One could say that the Heavenly King Mara Incantation was a benchmark. In the hands of different people, it would have completely different effects.

If used at the Spirit Platform Realm, it would use all of a person's spiritual energy, and it would still only be enough for one strike.

At the Mortal Shedding Realm, the Heavenly King Mara Incantation could be maintained for a relatively long time.

At the Celestial Heart Realm, this spell art could be cast quickly and be even more powerful.

At the Violet Palace Realm, it could be manifested with a simple cry, either as a single giant statue that spanned the gap between heaven and earth or a giant row that extended into the horizon, for in that brief moment of time, a Violet Palace Realm cultivator would have already cast countless spell arts.

If it were someone like Shi Wunian, who could empower his spell arts, it would be combined, with numerous heaven-spanning giants striking fear into the hearts of his foes.

Although Tang Jie was at the Mortal Shedding Realm, in the formation, he was actually about as strong as a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator. This Heavenly King Mara Incantation had taken all of his spiritual energy to cast, so it could only make one strike.

But one strike was enough.

Boom!

The giant palm pressed down at the aghast Seven Absolutions Sect disciples.

"Hold!" Even Mu Yi had changed his tone.

Light erupted from below as numerous art relics were thrown into the sky. The six disciples also didn't stay idle, unleashing their powers to fend off that descending palm.

There was a boom like an asteroid impact, and several treasure lights flew off into the distance.

"My precious!" two of the disciples wailed.

But more of the treasure lights faded and dropped to the ground.

The giant palm and the Seven Absolutions Sect disciples were in a stalemate for a single second, and then the giant palm dissipated into spiritual light.

The six disciples landed back on the ground. The barriers around them flickered and disappeared, and two of the disciples threw up blood. But Mu Yi simply dropped to the ground with a thud.

"Junior Brother Mu!" everyone shouted.

Due to a cultivating mishap, Mu Yi had the weakest body and was the most vulnerable.

In truth, Tang Jie had wanted to make Mu Yi his first target, but this guy was fast and sharp, and he was extremely good at protecting himself. Moreover, the other disciples regarded him very highly and did their best to protect him. Almost all of Tang Jie's attempts had been blocked.

But this time, in the face of Heavenly King Mara Incantation, Mu Yi could no longer hide.

In this showdown, while the others had been fine, he had finally broken.

"There's no need to drag him down. Once this guy gets injured, he can't get up again," Tang Jie swiftly said.

The emerged vine quickly drew back.

Lying on the ground, Mu Yi glared at Tang Jie. The giant palm had been so powerful that it had even destroyed the illusion formation and sea of flowers.

He looked at Tang Jie. "You…"

A surge of blood prevented Mu Yi from saying any more, but Tang Jie knew what he meant. He nodded and said, "Yes, I did this precisely to get rid of you. I don't care about whether I managed to bring down the others, but I had to bring you down."

Mu Yi struggled out, "With all your spiritual energy gone, even with your sprite, you can't beat five people on your own."

"Then I'll just recharge," Tang Jie casually said, taking an item out of his Mustard Seed Bag.

The Cosmic Breeze Pearl.

Mu Yi grimaced when he saw it, clearly recognizing it for what it was.

Tang Jie had gotten this item a long time ago. He actually got it ready before every major battle, but he had rarely had a chance to use it.

Until now.

Holding the Cosmic Breeze Pearl, Tang Jie absorbed the stored spiritual energy into his body.

It took time for spirit pills to restore spiritual energy, and it also sometimes required appropriate external conditions. But the Cosmic Breeze Pearl lacked these problems, and he could just directly take energy from it. Tang Jie immediately went from being out of spiritual energy to being back in fighting form.

Mu Yi hadn't expected Tang Jie to have prepared an energy drink for himself, and he grimaced. Finally, he said, "That's the Cosmic Breeze Pearl. It can restore two thousand drops of spiritual liquid at most, which is only 20% of normal. Moreover, this energy dissipates with time, so it usually doesn't restore that much. If Tang Jie put in spiritual energy this morning, then almost two hundred drops must have been lost. Thus, Tang Jie currently has around 1800 drops of spiritual liquid… You guys still have a chance."

Tang Jie was slightly surprised. "You know of this?"

Mu Yi pointed at the Rinsing Stream Gauze in the air. "My master researched that item to make that, so what do you think?"

"…" Tang Jie was speechless. Ultimately, he shrugged and opened his mouth to say something, but then suddenly, he blinked away, appearing behind a Seven Absolutions Sect disciple and thrusting a palm at him.

The Seven Absolutions Sect disciple hadn't expected him to abruptly strike so ruthlessly. As the giant palm had shattered their barriers, they were at a low in power. Thus, this palm instantly brought that disciple to the ground.

Vines rose up and dragged that person under the ground.

"Tang Jie, you!" Mu Yi shouted.

"Hush!"

Swinging his saber and pushing back a Seven Absolutions Sect disciple, Tang Jie shushed Mu Yi and said, "Fighting four people is better than fighting five people, right?"

Mu Yi looked at Tang Jie and then looked at his four remaining senior brothers. He found that their faces were stricken with fear.

He mentally sighed, knowing that this battle was already lost.

Without Mu Yi, they had lost not only combat power, but confidence.

Tang Jie had run rampant among them, going one versus nine and beating them down until only four were left. The Seven Absolutions Sect disciples had lost their confidence long ago. Even though Tang Jie was at the end of his tether, he remained energetic and confident while the Seven Absolutions Sect disciples had lost all confidence, stripping them of the ability to turn the tables.

Mu Yi couldn't help but sigh again.

At this moment, a powerful shockwave erupted from the ground.

It was so powerful that it seemed like some underground geyser had erupted.

Accompanying this "geyser" was a blue figure and Yiyi's alarmed shout.

"Oh no, one of them escaped!"

The blue figure gracefully landed on the ground. It was clearly the female disciple who Tang Jie had defeated earlier.

She had broken out of Yiyi's bindings and escaped the underground cage.

Now that she was free, she angrily glared at Tang Jie.

"Senior Sister Lu!" Mu Yi and the other four Seven Absolutions Sect disciples cheered when they saw this girl.

Tang Jie's expression sank.

Someone capable of breaking free of Yiyi's cage had to possess abnormal strength. If his guess was right, in this group of Seven Absolutions Sect disciples, Wang Juemie was the leader, and his deputies were Mu Yi and this Senior Sister Lu.

Mu Yi was primarily the brains, and so this Senior Sister Lu had to be the strongest of the group outside of Wang Juemie.

When he thought about how this girl's true strength might be greater than that of Xiao Wen, Lin Wang, and Mu Yi, Tang Jie couldn't help but get a headache.

Shit, I just took care of Mu Yi, and now this girl has managed to get out.

Worst of all was that this girl's escape had restored much of the confidence of the remaining four Seven Absolutions Sect disciples. They now looked at Tang Jie like he was a dead man.

"Is that really necessary… It's not like I killed anyone," Tang Jie muttered.

Mu Yi chuckled and said, "Tang Jie, now that Senior Sister has escaped, your defeat is certain."

"It's too early to say what the final outcome is," Tang Jie lazily replied.

"You really think you'll have a chance to turn the tables with your 1800 drops of spiritual liquid?" the girl coldly said.

"Seems like we have another smart one here." Tang Jie smiled, and then he turned serious. "When it comes to spiritual energy, I truly don't have quite enough, but who said I could only fight using spell arts? Don't forget that I'm also a body refiner. It's just that I've been focusing so much on my cultivation and spell arts these last few years that everyone's forgotten where my title of Fierce Tiger came from!"

These words left everyone flabbergasted.

Tang Jie suddenly began to surge with power. Just like when Wang Juemie had battled with the three Celestial Heart experts, this power was so majestic as to have substance, leaving everyone stunned.

Although this aura was somewhat lacking compared to Wang Juemie's, it was truly the aura of a body refiner.

It was no wonder Tang Jie had dared to fight this battle. This spiritual isolation formation was Wang Juemie's home court, but it was also Tang Jie's home court. Even if he completely ran out of spiritual energy, he still had the ability to fight.

While the other Seven Absolutions Sect disciples were shocked, that Senior Sister Lu grew excited. "Now this is interesting."

She waved her hand, and that flying sword she had thrown out earlier flew back into her hand.

All of this girl's skill was in her sword. It was because she had been without her sword that Tang Jie had managed to take her down and capture her. Now that she had broken free and had her sword back, she began to exude an intimidating murderous aura.

Even Mu Yi looked at his senior sister with a hint of respect.

Alas, he was ultimately unable to see this bout between Tang Jie and the girl, for a moment later, Tang Jie said, "Before we fight, I have to do something."

"What?" Mu Yi didn't understand.

Tang Jie smiled at Mu Yi. "I say, isn't it high time you fainted?"

He flicked a bolt of air that struck Mu Yi in the ear.

Mu Yi's eyes rolled over as he fell unconscious.

No matter what, before this battle, he had to make sure that this guy wasn't giving instructions from the sidelines.
