Chapter 110: Hunting the Hunter!
The speed of the Wind and Fire Wheel and the Unihorn Smoke Beast was incredibly fast.
But the blond-haired guy was no slouch either.
At the very least, Jiang Yuan could now see that the red light they were chasing was getting closer to the two yellow lights.
Soon after getting close, the two yellow lights disappeared.
"Yo, are they coming for me?"
With the last three seconds remaining on the big screen, the blond-haired guy also took the final moments to quickly memorize everything.
However, during this time of continuously watching the screen, he realized that one of the yellow lights was heading straight for him.
After two changes of direction, the other party had mirrored them both.
"Interesting."
The blond-haired guy chuckled, but he didn't wait for the person charging towards him.
"Perfect, since you're on the same line, you'll be the first one I take down!"
Before the screen went out, the blond-haired guy moved again.
Frankly, he was giving the person chasing him a direction.
So that the chaser wouldn't lose him.
And naturally, Jiang Yuan caught the last glimpse of the red light's movement as well.
As for whether he had been exposed or not?
Did it matter?
They were still on the grasslands; whether exposed or not, it would ultimately come down to a direct confrontation.
The Wind and Fire Wheel accelerated again, and the Unihorn Smoke Beast easily kept pace with Nezha up front.
Jiang Yuan inwardly calculated the distance between the two of them based on the map that had just disappeared.
"We should be close now."
Moments later, Jiang Yuan and Nezha looked up just in time to see someone engaged in battle on the grasslands.
"I've already seen them!"
Nezha beamed with a bright smile; as the Wind and Fire Wheel could fly, Nezha could see further than Jiang Yuan under these conditions.
"The one in red, he must be one of those Hunters, right?"
"Yes, let's take him out directly!"
Jiang Yuan said with a smile; he really had nothing to fear against an opponent of equal strength.
Nezha had already demonstrated his strength by taking down those at later stages of Xingji while he was still at the mid-stage.
Although the Dream Tower is an inanimate object, it still somewhat indicated that Nezha's strength during the mid-stage of Xingji was among the top of those at later stages.
Now at the later stages of Xingji, Nezha's strength had increased significantly, and naturally, Jiang Yuan harbored no fear.
Of course, what was most important was the ability of the Linglong Tower, which allowed him to be in a position of safety.
Otherwise, even with the great combat power of Nezha, having a weak point like himself, Jiang Yuan would still be a bit more cautious.
The two moved swiftly, and as they approached, Nezha called out and charged ahead first.
"Yuan, my Qiankun Ring!"
Nezha, holding the Fire-tipped Spear and the Wind and Fire Wheel at full throttle, lunged directly towards the blond-haired guy, who was oppressing a young girl on the ground.
"Ha, so you're the ones who've been chasing me, huh?"
The blond-haired guy wielded a semi-transparent longsword.
The blade, which was lifting the girl's chin, quickly blocked Nezha's thrust upon sensing the attack.
Nezha's hand shook, and the shaft of the Fire-tipped Spear slightly bent before the powerful shock force smacked against the blond-haired guy's longsword.
Forced to retreat two steps, the girl swiftly sidestepped to avoid further danger.
In just an instant, two cards appeared in the girl's hands.
Two white beams of light circled around Nezha before entering his body.
Nezha instantly felt his speed and strength increase.
He glanced at the fair-skinned doll-faced girl with some surprise, and then, with a flick of his Fire-tipped Spear, he lunged at the blond-haired guy once again.
Inside, the blond-haired guy was irritated yet also somewhat surprised.
Could there actually be a late-stage Xingji individual among the new recruits this time?
How interesting!
A card in the blonde's hand flashed, and a translucent blade appeared on the sword, symbolizing sharp cold light.
He attempted to parry with an upward flick of the spear, followed by a single-blade (sword) advancing into the spear's reach, looking to exploit the vulnerability of close combat with a long spear.
Unfortunately, the second step failed.
While he succeeded in the upward parry, the single-blade (sword) advance into the spear was thwarted by Nezha.
When the blonde flicked his sword upward to parry the Fire-tipped Spear, Nezha reacted instantly, pressing down hard with both hands holding the spear.
A sudden burst of frenzied strength caused the blonde's expression to shift, forcing him to hold the sword with both hands, striving with all his might to resist.
But even with his full effort, he was still being slowly bent at the waist.
Just as he was about to buckle under the pressure, the blonde gritted his teeth, and another white-quality card appeared before him.
The moment the blue card shimmered, the blonde disengaged and leaped away.
The Fire-tipped Spear came crashing down heavily, breaking the ground into a big hole.
However, the light in his hand swung the semi-transparent blade continuously.
[Sword Skill: Double Cross Slash]!
Two successive Cross Slash attacks forced Nezha to also raise his spear in defense.
The Fire-tipped Spear swept through breaking the first, then a direct Thrust at the center of the second Cross Slash, successfully shattering it.
After breaking through two Cross Slashes, Nezha didn't stop there.
The Wind and Fire Wheel accelerated, double-handed downward spear!
The massive force and great strength of the downswing spear shifted the blonde's complexion.
He was well aware of Nezha's power from first-hand experience.
If this hit landed, even with his Defense Equipment, it wouldn't be easy to handle!
The blonde was just about to sidestep and dodge when suddenly a rock spike shot up from the ground beside him.
[Earth Spirit: Rock Spike]!
Jiang Yuan, riding on the Unihorn Smoke Beast, casually arrived, instantly robbing the blonde of his chance to evade.
He parried with his sword!
But obviously, it couldn't stop Nezha's attack.
A blue hue of Inner Armor phantom emerged over the blonde, blocking Nezha's attack.
The blue phantom quickly faded, and Nezha, unsurprised, immediately switched from a slash to a thrust.
Shock filled the blonde's heart; he tried to meet the spear with a downward sword parry, but Nezha read his move.
With a subtle twist of his wrist, the spearhead tapped the Sword Guard spot on the blonde's translucent sword.
The powerful force directly knocked the Longsword out of the blonde's hand.
Nezha's Fire-tipped Spear swept again, instantly dispelling the remaining glow of the blue armored phantom.
With the armor shattered, the blonde panicked.
He produced another blue-quality card in his hand, preparing to flee.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him trembled, forcing him to stabilize his posture first.
[Earth Spirit: Tremor]!
In that instant, the Fire-tipped Spear pierced directly through the blonde's chest.
The light shifted; the second Hunter was eradicated by Nezha.
"Good teamwork."
"Perfect harmony!"
Jiang Yuan, riding the Unihorn Smoke Beast, approached Nezha and extended his hand in praise.
Nezha also smiled, tapping lightly on Jiang Yuan's hand, saying,
"Thanks, you guys saved me."
After Jiang Yuan and Nezha finished speaking, the doll-faced girl then tentatively thanked the two.
"It's no big deal, don't mention it."
Nezha waved his hand dismissively, but Jiang Yuan asked, "Are you an Amplification Card Master?"
With an Amplification Card Master on the team, wouldn't Nezha's Combat Power be able to increase even more?
