I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1224 - Chapter 1224 Chapter 517 Absurdity

Chapter 1224: Chapter 517: Absurdity Chapter 1224: Chapter 517: Absurdity Only those who truly reach the limits of their own talents understand that there exists an insurmountable chasm between people.

This gap might be bridged, yet sadly, those who reach that point no longer have time to correct themselves.

Thus, one always sees “those who have been through it” earnestly advising the young to cherish time and to become what they themselves could not.

However, such advice mostly proves fruitless because the young have never experienced the powerlessness of making no progress, nor have they suffered heart-wrenching regret.

Or perhaps the achievements of the advisers themselves are too feeble and weak, so most of the advice ends up as nothing more than resigned sighs.

What the elderly envy the most is the youth’s time and potential, and at the deepest level of envy, it perhaps twists into hatred.

Xiang Yan couldn’t bear to see extraordinarily talented young people, those who at a glance could surpass her, from a certain point onward.

No matter their demeanor, she found them all repulsive.

Chen Menglu, Duan Longcheng, An Yuanxi, Wang Chan, Tang Luo, and even Xiang Zhuang–these emerging figures, each one of them was utterly detested by Xiang Yan.

And today, she had to add the name of the person facing her right now, clearly of low cultivation, clearly depleted of Spiritual Power, yet standing stubbornly before her like a boulder, repulsive to her.

Dressed in crystal armor, Du Sha could only defend against the Yanyun Grandmaster, devoid of any power to counterattack. The Red Crystal Spirit Armor he wore would burst apart the moment it met the Mysterious Cloud Chain.

No matter how fierce Xiang Yan’s offensive was, whenever the crystal armor peeled off, another new set would regenerate from within. The damage caused by the Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains seemed futile, which only enraged the Yanyun Grandmaster.

Her Square Heaven Unfixed Divine Pupil glowed with brilliant blue light, condensing into a deep blue Divine Light, and pierced through the armored person confined by the cloud chains.

The Red Crystal, tougher than the spiritual armor, shattered instantly, exposing the man inside whose shoulder had been pierced. Excitement filled Xiang Yan’s eyes–was there anything more exhilarating than strangling a peerless martial artist in the cradle?

The Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains tightened, crushing the cracked Red Crystal armor, and next, they aimed to strangle the martial artist inside, yet they couldn’t advance any further.

A wholly patterned black Soul Cauldron appeared, enveloping the Red Crystal person’s body. As the Mysterious Cauldron continued to enlarge, the Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains binding the person also began to stretch apart.

As a martial arts master, Xiang Yan certainly recognized this as Du Sha’s Divine Soul power. What he couldn’t understand was how a mere Visualizing of a lifeless object could be so resilient.

No matter how much he exerted himself, the Divine Artifact reinforced Hundred and Eight Mysterious Cloud Chains continued to be forced apart, causing the Yanyun Grandmaster’s face to burn with shame.

He felt that this scoundrel had played him. If the opponent had used the Divine Soul Mysterious Cauldron earlier, his Square Heaven Unfixed Divine Pupil could have easily shattered that Divine Soul. But the opponent had resisted the Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains with only the Red Crystal initially, just to elicit his Divine Pupil’s strike. Was this scoundrel so confident that his Square Heaven Unfixed Divine Pupil couldn’t take his life?

Retracting the enhanced cloud chain of Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, Xiang Yan pressed three talismans with his right hand. The Divine Artifact glove expanded in the wind and transformed into a sack that he threw over the enlarging Mysterious Cauldron.

The expanding Divine Soul artifact was instantly covered by the Divine Artifact, rendered unable to change further while the Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains exerted force once more, suppressing Du Sha’s Divine Soul Mysterious Cauldron.

After all, he was short of cultivation and strength, and moreover, to resist the White Tiger Roar, Du Sha had been left with just thirty percent of his Spiritual Power since the beginning of the battle.

Already outmatched and now also lacking in Spiritual Power, being able to hold on till now was already his limit. Du Sha had another move, the self-destruction of his Divine Soul artifact, which now could not be executed due to the sealing of the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul.

Knowing that he had exhausted all his means, Du Sha maintained an expression neither sad nor happy, but deep in his eyes lingered an attachment to life.

That was his love for his wife Liu Chan and a certain regret that he hadn’t seen Du Ziteng take charge on his own.

But the fate of a martial artist is such, isn’t it? Through the ages, how many heroes have met a good end? Dying at the hands of a grandmaster might be honor enough.

“It seems you already know that today you’re bound to die.”

Xiang Yan snorted coldly, “Blame yourself for failing to recognize the times, for joining forces with treacherous people, wasting all your martial arts!”

The Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains tightened again. Without the protective spirit armor and soul devices, his body, penetrated by the dark cloud chains, faintly echoed with the moans of flesh and bone.

Die then, die in agony before this grandmaster.

Xiang Yan’s eyes showed a certain excitement, a longing to see Du Sha’s expression of pain.

Yet even as the cloud chains wrapped around him, Du Sha’s expression remained as calm as at the start, without sorrow or joy, without anger or hatred.

Outclassed in skill, what is there to lament? To boldly face death, a hero for all his life.

This appearance, more hateful than those of others!

Xiang Yan, furious, tightened the cloud chains again, yet detected a certain aura rapidly approaching.

Turning his head, it was indeed one of the two Martial Ancestors who had gone with Xiang Zhuang to kill the Devil Lord, Hook Chen–Xiang Lin.

And what should have been a sure kill seemed to have gone awry. The returning Xiang Lin had a leg severed, his face deathly pale, and his eyes held an indescribable fear, which Xiang Yan could not understand.

“What happened to the Devil Lord! Where is Zhuang?”

Xiang Yan had complex feelings towards Xiang Zhuang, but it was not a good moment to indulge the jealousy in his heart, especially since Xiang Zhuang could lead East Camp, he naturally had his exceptional abilities.

Against a devil lord who was hanging by a thread, it was hard for him to assume that this outstanding warrior of the Xiang Family had blundered.

But the words that Xiang Lin then spoke shattered all of Xiang Yan’s self-encouragement.

“The commander lost to the Devil Lord, has been killed, and Hook Chen is heading this way!”

Absurd…

In Xiang Yan’s deep blue pupils, there was a light of disbelief.

How could Xiang Zhuang lose? How could he lose!?

It turns out that even grandmasters can be distracted. Although Du Sha knew he was bound to die, he did not give up the hope of life and despair.

The cool-as-iron Du Sha caught the Grandmaster Yanyun’s momentary distraction, activated the Black Light Mysterious Cauldron, broke the cloud chains on his body, and using his life’s cauldron, he summoned back his soul, sealed by the divine artifact bag; then he jumped into the cauldron, plummeting rapidly.

The sudden snapping of the cloud chains brought Xiang Yan back to his senses. The surge of old and new hatred made the Yanyun Grandmaster like a mad tiger.

The Hundred and Eight Cloud Chains turning against himself, Xiang Yan transformed into a streak of sharp light pursuing the cauldron, but inside it, Du Sha remained unchanged in expression, grasping both ears of the cauldron, and suddenly overturning it, directing the mouth towards the onrushing grandmaster.

Black light poured like a waterfall, those millions of black arrows like a black hole devouring everything. Although furious, facing such an attack, Xiang Yan would not take it head-on, dodging it in a flash, but he could only watch helplessly as the man inside the cauldron increased the distance between them.
