Chapter 324 - 177: Sudden Change
The Black Pupil Man exploded.
Each horrifying slash broke through Jiang Ming’s protective Gang Qi while also stealing his strength, making Jiang Ming look extremely solemn.
“The eleventh sword, Great Luo World of Light and Darkness!”
While blocking, Jiang Ming executed his ultimate sword skill, but was suppressed by his opponent.
As a slash fell, he was sent flying and his figure vanished suddenly. In the next instant, he appeared on the left side of the Black Pupil Man.
Instant teleportation!
“The twelfth sword, One Point of Black Hole Breaks Ten Thousand Skills!”
Between the flashes of sword light, Jiang Ming aimed at the Black Pupil Man’s temple, the sharp Sword Qi causing his opponent’s hair to stand on end. The man’s long blade shifted to block the strike.
In an instant, they collided forty-nine times.
Regardless of the sword light or blade aura, they had cut off countless sections of the mountain ridge beneath their feet, causing rocks to crack into ravines and filling the depths of the abyss with broken mountains.
The battle was extremely terrifying.
It was almost evenly matched.
However, Jiang Ming was ultimately suppressed in martial arts by a small margin.
“You really deserve to be the number one human of the Golden Generation; truly terrifying. If you had a few more years, we would surely live in despair,” the Black Pupil Man exclaimed, as a strange aura surged within him and his figure disappeared.
He appeared in Jiang Ming’s shadow in the next moment, attempting to slice Jiang Ming in half from bottom to top with a slash.
Jiang Ming sensed it immediately and hastily teleported away. Just as he steadied himself, his opponent appeared again, in his shadow.
Instant teleportation!
Once again, he escaped several miles away.
The Black Pupil Man did not pursue.
“Are you from the Shadow Clan, Ghost Clan, Dark Blood Clan, The Shadow Clan, or the Night Clan?” Jiang Ming looked at the approaching Black Pupil Man and asked.
When he was in the Nine Domains Secret Realm World, he had encountered many different races, and he had learned of many more through Luo Feng and Ji Yunning.
There were several races with the innate ability to merge with shadows.
“You guess?” The Black Pupil Man spoke, and the Pocket World Projection reappeared, expanding to a radius of one kilometer this time.
Darkness shrouded everything, erasing all other colors.
Jiang Ming understood that in the darkness, his opponent had almost instantaneous teleportation-like abilities.
This was relying on the power of darkness.
Humm…
The Heavenly Stars Protection Skill and Martial Arts Domain appeared together, blocking the suppression of the Pocket World Projection while also defending against any unexpected attacks from his opponent.
At this moment, the Black Pupil Man launched another extremely violent attack. From all directions, blade lights formed a waterfall pouring down.
The assault tore apart his protective Gang Qi continuously, but it couldn’t break through Jiang Ming’s defenses.
“Your skills don’t go beyond this!” Jiang Ming suddenly said.
He had already assessed most of his opponent’s abilities.
With the Black Pupil Man’s combat power, even the Guizhang Emperor of the Nine Domains Mysteries would have faced death without life.
“The eighteenth form of God-splitting!”
Under the Spirit’s Reflection, Jiang Ming easily locked onto his opponent and launched a soul attack. Even though the Black Pupil Man possessed the Soul-subduing Mirror, an unrivaled defensive weapon against soul attacks, it still caused him to pause momentarily.
“It’s my turn!”
“Twenty-Nine Streams of Ten Thousand Lines!”
“The eighteenth sword, Extreme Point without Edge!”
Jiang Ming’s movements unfolded, creating numerous figures at the same time, each performing the same technique in a dense crowd.
At the tip of his sword, the Skill of Ultimate Truth was hidden, piercing through everything, unstoppable.
His attacks completely submerged the Black Pupil Man.
Boom…
During the collision, an endless torrent of energy erupted. This time, Jiang Ming completely suppressed his opponent, leaving the Black Pupil Man struggling to cope, even unable to react.
“Shadow Escape!”
Seeing that he couldn’t resist, the Black Pupil Man’s figure flickered and escaped through the darkness.
“Troublesome!”
Jiang Ming muttered quietly, concentrating with his eyes and sending out Spirit Power once more.
“Spiritual World!”
This was a method learned from his friend Ran Xin, which utilizes Heart Power to attack by pulling the opponent into their self-constructed Spiritual World. Although the Black Pupil Man possessed the powerful Soul-subduing Mirror, and could block some of the Soul Power attacks, he still became slightly dazed for a moment.
A moment?
That was enough!
“Extreme Point without Edge!”
With another strike, Jiang Ming aimed for the opponent’s forehead. Perhaps sensing the danger of death, even in his confusion, the Black Pupil Man made the most appropriate defense under stress.
The Soul-subduing Mirror appeared in front of him within his Sea of Consciousness.
Ding…
The mirror’s surface cracked from the sword strike, causing it to lose much of its charm and fall to the distance.
Barely blocking Jiang Ming’s soul attack and regaining his senses, the Black Pupil Man immediately found his forehead covered with cold sweat.
A look of horror flashed in his eyes as he escaped once more.
He also realized that he was no match for Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming had too many tricks up his sleeve, with unparalleled martial arts, instant teleportation, and horrifying soul power, as well as the mysterious technique he just used. Escaping was impossible.
If he didn’t kill Jiang Ming, his own death was certain.
And his death would be swift, for without the Soul-subduing Mirror, he couldn’t withstand Jiang Ming’s soul attacks.
“There’s only one way left!”
“Power of Pocket World, merge with my body.”
“Sky-splitting Slash, if I don’t die, Sky won’t die!”
The Black Pupil Man went wild.
Power surged within his body, and the darkness enveloping the surroundings gathered and merged into the blade in his hand.
His power skyrocketed, with a strength that was faintly beyond the Ninth Realm.
The surrounding Void seemed to distort.
The mountains below trembled, struggling to bear his power.
Humm…
With one slash, it was as if a fierce flash appeared from thin air, splitting the sky dome in half.
Fast, urgent, and ruthless!
And the power was unparalleled.
Under this slash, the air around them became incredibly viscous, making Jiang Ming feel as if he was sinking into a swamp..
