Chapter 1087, Ye Wuxian vs the Tie Family Ancestor

Translator: Silavin

 

“Well done!” The Tie Family Ancestor was mildly surprised. Ye Wuxian’s body had actually reassembled itself.

 

Even so, during that brief exchange, he had also sensed that Ye Wuxian’s was not exceptionally strong. She could perhaps manage against someone who had only just reached their Sixth Profession Change. But he himself was a veteran who had been at the Sixth Profession Change for many years. Facing Ye Wuxian, victory was absolutely within his grasp. He should be able to suppress her with complete authority.

 

Hearing Ye Wuxian’s provocation, he was naturally displeased.

 

On ordinary days, even the founding Elders of Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families were perfectly courteous and polite whenever they met him.

 

And yet here was Ye Wuxian, a Junior, daring to say ‘again’ to him. It was plainly a show of complete contempt.

 

Given that she had chosen to show him such disrespect, how could he possibly offer her anything but the same in return?!

 

“Hah!” Accompanied by a great bellow, the aura exploded off the Tie Family Ancestor’s frame, billowing outward in rolling waves, catching many of the Tie Family members below off-guard, sending them staggering.

 

“Azure Sky Battle Qi!” This was the Tie Family Ancestor’s Fifth Profession Skill. It was overwhelmingly powerful and utterly domineering.

 

Once the Azure Sky Battle Qi was activated, all his Attributes would immediately double. Though its duration was not long, it was more than enough to deal with numerous opponents who were evenly matched against him.

 

Moreover, as Azure Sky Battle Qi swept outward, it simultaneously deflected the Damage that enemies inflicted upon him.

 

So long as an opponent’s Attack did not exceed his own, their attack would be completely negated by the Azure Sky Battle Qi.

 

And the Tie Family Ancestor himself was a Warrior Type Player. His Attack was extraordinarily high to begin with.

 

With the added bonus of Azure Sky Battle Qi, his Base Attack reached levels that most Players could not hope to match.

 

With Azure Sky Battle Qi in effect, calling the Tie Family Ancestor ‘invincible’ would not be an overstatement.

 

Once Azure Sky Battle Qi had erupted, the imposing pressure emanating from the Tie Family Ancestor billowed outward in surging waves, drawing the attention of Han Ke, Jian Ying, and the others, who shifted their expressions slightly at the sight of this fearsome adversary.

 

They possessed Ancient God Power, so they naturally retained confidence in their ability to bring down the Tie Family Ancestor.

 

In particular, Jian Ying and the others. The defensive power of the Asura King they had formed together was extraordinary. So long as they remained within the Asura King’s body, no one short of an Ancient God could possibly breach it. Meaning, they were essentially in a state of absolute safety.

 

Even if the three of them could not bring down the Tie Family Ancestor immediately, they could still manoeuvre around him, wear him down, and ultimately prevail.

 

But Ye Wuxian had no Asura King protecting her. She was going toe-to-toe with the man just like that…

 

It was hard not to feel anxiety on her behalf.

 

The Tie Family Ancestor’s aura truly gave even Ye Wuxian’s heart a slight jolt.

 

Yet, she herself was also someone who thrived in combat. Upon seeing how powerful her opponent was, she found herself growing excited rather than afraid.

 

She had no Asura King to protect her, but she herself was basically an Immortal Being.

 

As long as she had enough Ancient God Power, she would be undying and indestructible in her Elemental Form.

 

With nothing left to worry about, and the prospect of battling such a formidable adversary as the Tie Family Ancestor before her, how could she not be excited?

 

Ye Wuxian used no Buffs on herself whatsoever. Facing the Tie Family Ancestor’s overwhelming presence, she was utterly fearless, lifting her spear and charging directly into the assault.

 

In the sky above, fire and the Tie Family Ancestor’s blue aura crashed together.

 

The outcome was as one would expect. Naturally, Ye Wuxian’s flames were once again shattered.

 

The gap in strength between the two sides was apparent.

 

After blasting Ye Wuxian apart with a single spear thrust, the Tie Family Ancestor no longer felt the excitement he’d had a moment ago.

 

Because he could clearly feel that Ye Wuxian, despite having been disintegrated by him, was in no danger of losing her life.

 

His attack had not landed on Ye Wuxian in any meaningful sense. It would be more accurate to say that Ye Wuxian had disintegrated herself to evade his strike.

 

The Tie Family Ancestor was confident his power was absolutely superior to Ye Wuxian’s, yet he had no idea how to land a killing blow on her.

 

This feeling left the Tie Family Ancestor fuming with frustration. How could he be satisfied with having defeated Ye Wuxian with this outcome?

 

Sure enough, Ye Wuxian reassembled herself in mid-air once more.

 

Her own expression was equally unpleasant.

 

Had it not been for her Ancient God Power making her an Immortal Being, she would have died twice by now.

 

Though it was only natural that she could not match the Tie Family Ancestor, if she could not even defeat the Tie Family Ancestor, how could she ever justify standing at Lu Fan’s side in the future, facing those Ancient Gods in battle?

 

She absolutely had to win this fight.

 

“Again!” Ye Wuxian’s battle intent surged, and she charged towards the Tie Family Ancestor of her own volition.

 

This time, the flames on her body also roared to life with renewed ferocity, crackling and popping with explosive resonance.

 

As Ye Wuxian charged forward, a vortex of fire actually formed in her wake, illuminating the entire Tie Family base in its glow.

 

With a forward thrust of Refined Ashless, a fiery whirlwind gathered in an instant, sweeping unceasingly across the sky as it bore down upon the Tie Family Ancestor.

 

The Tie Family Ancestor showed not the slightest trace of fear. He charged directly into the fiery whirlwind, and simultaneously a phantom Snake Dragon erupted from the tip of his spear, colliding head-on with the fire vortex.

 

Once again came the Heaven splitting, Earth sundering crash of two Skills colliding, the terrifying depth of both combatants’ power laid bare before the watching Tie Family members below, whose hearts clenched with dread.

 

This time, the Tie Family Ancestor still held absolute supremacy.

 

The Snake Dragon tore through the fiery whirlwind and continued smashing and snapping at the position where Ye Wuxian’s body had been, as though intent on shattering her.

 

Ye Wuxian’s body disintegrated, transforming into flames that clung to the phantom Snake Dragon.

 

These flames did not extinguish. Even though the Snake Dragon was nothing more than a Skill Effect, the fire stuck firmly onto it.

 

As the flames burned, they reassembled once more into Ye Wuxian’s silhouette.

 

Ye Wuxian let out a shout, driving Refined Ashless downward with a fierce thrust, burying it deep into the Snake Dragon’s back.

 

It was merely a Skill Effect. Yet this Snake Dragon reacted as though it had come alive, writhing in agony, twisting and turning through the air in an attempt to throw Ye Wuxian from its back.

 

However, the moment Ye Wuxian’s spear pierced its body, roaring fire spread from the wound, detonating within it, and in the blink of an eye the creature was entirely ablaze.

 

In an instant, the Snake Dragon became a colossal dragon engulfed in flames. The Tie Family Ancestor’s Skill was effectively shattered, Yet the lingering power of that Skill was now commandeered by Ye Wuxian.

 

Having seized control of the Skill, Ye Wuxian rode the Snake Dragon forward, her target set unmistakably upon the Tie Family Ancestor.

 

The Tie Family Ancestor had never in his wildest imagination anticipated that Ye Wuxian could use his own Skill against him, swallowing it up and turning it to her own ends.

 

Faced with the fiery Snake Dragon charging straight at him, the Tie Family Ancestor dared not be the least bit complacent. His Azure Sky Battle Qi blazed with even greater intensity as he charged to meet the flame dragon head-on.

 

*Boom!*

 

Another thunderous explosion rang out, and the fiery Snake Dragon was smashed apart by the Tie Family Ancestor.
