886: Chapter 283: The Mysterious Middle-aged Man by the Life Spring (Part 2) 886: Chapter 283: The Mysterious Middle-aged Man by the Life Spring (Part 2) Having entered the Ice Ring, and with his spiritual power fully activated and the Soul Bead spinning rapidly, Ye Yinzhu’s perception of the external world was intensified tenfold.
In almost an instant, his spiritual power had spread to every corner of the Frosty Forest.
Everything around was very quiet, and he immediately located his target.
In the very center of the Ice Ring, a pale blue spring made of unknown rocks slept quietly there, circles of gentle life force spreading out like the pure breath of nature itself.
That profound life force, purer even than the ancient life tree of the Elf Tribe, was indescribable—so much so that even with Ye Yinzhu’s spiritual power, he could not discern the full extent of it.
However, Ye Yinzhu’s attention was not focused on the Life Spring because beside the spring stood a person—it was the last place within the Ice Ring where one would expect to find a human being.
And there he was, quietly standing by the Life Spring, back turned toward Ye Yinzhu, his gaze continually fixed on the water of the spring, as if pondering something, yet seemingly oblivious.
Why was there a person here?
A sense of perplexity appeared immediately in Ye Yinzhu’s mind, yet he did not act straight away.
Years of cultivation had instilled in him a calm temperament that prevented him from acting rashly.
Through the Unity of Heaven and Man, Ye Yinzhu knew this was a middle-aged person, but beyond that, he could discover nothing more.
The person’s aura was very even, with no extra fluctuations; from him, Ye Yinzhu could not even sense any emotion.
He was very still, as if he were a part of the natural world around him, indistinguishable from his environment.
This state was all too familiar to Ye Yinzhu because it was the Unity of Heaven and Man, the ability he was best at and most uniquely possessed.
Yet this person’s Unity of Heaven and Man seemed even more advanced—if Ye Yinzhu did not have the same ability himself, he would be unable, by feeling alone, to detect his presence.
With no energy fluctuations, no emotional disturbances, he was like a statue.
Ye Yinzhu certainly did not regard him as an ordinary human.
In his heart, he had already deemed this person the most formidable enemy he had ever faced.
Even when facing Sloan and Aubrey, Ye Yinzhu had never felt this way; after all, he knew the realms of Sloan and Aubrey.
However, he knew absolutely nothing about the person before him, a person he could not see through.
Similarly, the person seemed to be aware of Ye Yinzhu’s arrival, but did not change anything because of him.
He still stood quietly there, silently observing the spring, his eyes shimmering with a soft yet gentle glow.
He was not without emotions; rather, his emotions were so numerous that they were masked by the Unity of Heaven and Man, imperceptible to others.
“Who are you?” Ye Yinzhu could not help but speak out.
The middle-aged man did not answer, but slowly turned around, changing from his previous position with his back turned to facing him.
Ye Yinzhu could not see, but he could distinctly feel two gazes falling on him, those gazes not sharp, yet not quite gentle either, but with a kind of indescribable penetrative power, as if in an instant, he could be seen right through.
The aura was subdued, yet his spiritual power still enveloped the entire Ice Ring, and the original force within Ye Yinzhu had transformed into ripples floating around his body, subtly pulsating.
Although they had not engaged in bat, nor even conversed, Ye Yinzhu knew he was already at a disadvantage, overpowered.
At his level of strength, even the slightest change in aura could reveal much, but with this middle-aged man before him, he couldn’t make any judgment.
Ye Yinzhu once more asked the same question, with each word stressed, “You, are, who?”
The middle-aged man still made no sound, only slowly raising his right palm toward Ye Yinzhu, palm facing outward.
A sudden alert arose in Ye Yinzhu’s mind, yet without any sign, in just an instant, he only felt a flash of light from the man’s palm, and the next moment, a tremendously powerful energy had heavily struck him in the chest.
With Ye Yinzhu’s ability to sense through spiritual power, he did not feel any indication that the man intended to strike, and by the time he realized it, he had already been hit.
What kind of speed was this?
Ye Yinzhu did not know, but he clearly recognized that he had no chance to dodge.
It should be noted that there were several hundred meters separating him and the middle-aged man, yet with a mere raising of his hand, the attack had already reached him, a method of attack that even the battle-experienced Ye Yinzhu had never encountered before.
The Original Force automatically protected his body when attacked.
Moreover, since Ye Yinzhu was struck in the chest, the energy from the Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither formed a cluster of milky white light that shielded his most vital area.
However, his body still flew backward uncontrollably and hurtled toward the distance.
It’s worth noting that his body had undergone the Thousand Thunder Forging process and was even more robust than Kongou essence, which made it exceptionally tough.
Therefore, although the attack was sudden, it wasn’t easy to truly harm him.
While enduring the oppressive pain, Ye Yinzhu carefully sensed the elemental aura in the attack.
To his surprise, he discovered that this energy was somewhat similar to his own Original Force, which was not just a single magic element but seemed to possess the destructive properties of all magic elements.
Boom—
Wrapped in Original Force, Ye Yinzhu’s body flew directly out of the Ice Ring and harshly slammed into some icy spires in the Frosty Forest.
These icy spires had existed for countless years and were as hard as steel, but under that intense impact, Ye Yinzhu’s body broke through seven thick spires before he barely regained control and heavily fell to the ground.
Launching an attack without saying a word clarified that they were enemies.
No matter who the opponent was, Ye Yinzhu knew that a fearsome battle today was inevitable.
The middle-aged man, having blasted Ye Yinzhu away with one palm, didn’t pursue him but merely watched calmly and serenely in the direction he had flown, standing quietly as if everything were unrelated to him, as if that heavy blow hadn’t e from him.
Slowly climbing out of the shattered ice, while enduring a suffocating sensation in his chest, Ye Yinzhu slowly stood up.
The Original Force inside his body began to operate, merging with the energy from the Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither to slowly dispel the intruding energy from his body.
If he hadn’t been at the Sub-God rank but merely at the Zi rank, even at the Ninth Rank Zi rank, he would have probably been severely injured from that palm strike.
Ye Yinzhu realized he had encountered the most formidable enemy in his history.
Although he didn’t know how the strength of this opponent pared to the Tower Master Aubrey, he was certain that this enemy’s attacking method was definitely more bizarre than Aubrey’s.
As Ye Yinzhu had just stood up, he clearly felt that person’s right hand lifting again, his palm once again facing in his direction.
With the previous experience, his body reacted even faster than his consciousness this time.
He instantly teleported away, drifting laterally a hundred meters away.
At the spot where Ye Yinzhu had just stood, not far behind, a giant icy spire over a hundred meters tall, requiring twenty people to encircle, lit up with brilliant golden light.
Without any roaring or explosion, the next moment, this icy spire silently vanished.
The place where it touched the ground was as smoothly cut as if by a sharp blade.
Is he a test given to me by the Divine Dragon King?
If so, then this truly is a “small” test!
Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart, but his rich bat experience allowed him to immediately take out his Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither and position it in front of him.
Always being passive wasn’t a solution.
As he dodged the opponent’s attacks with his consciousness, he also launched an attack for the first time towards his adversary.
Seven transparent sound blades floated out amid a deep humming.
Each sound blade was made of pure Original Force without any added magic effects.
However, as the seven sound blades instantly crossed the void to appear in front of the middle-aged man, they suddenly released dazzling brilliance.
Unlike his opponent, who applied the destructive effect of all magic elements in every attack, Ye Yinzhu admitted that he hadn’t reached that level of control over the Original Force.
Therefore, he attached a pure and single magic element to each of the seven sound blades.
The offensive power generated in that instant, bined with the high-frequency oscillation effect, represented the pinnacle of Ye Yinzhu’s mature sound blades.
Sensing the sound blades, a strange light flickered in the middle-aged man’s eyes with a hint of surprise.
This time, he didn’t just lift one hand; both hands were raised.
The seemingly slow motion was pleted before the sound blades could strike.
The middle-aged man clasped his hands together over his head and chopped down abruptly.
A brilliant golden light, like a blade, flashed out suddenly.
The seven sound blades, representing the pinnacle of seven elements, might have appeared merely as seven glittering light blades, but in reality, they could represent the bined single-target Forbidden Curse of the seven series of magic, and their attack was only strengthened by being bined and augmented with high-frequency vibration.
However, the opponent’s counterattack was a single move, this time the golden light appeared not at close quarters but as a real Light Knife.
