“Heh…”
Jiang Wuming’s words echoed in his ears as Nisen sneered, “Putting aside whether you can truly kill me, if I wanted to escape, how would you stop me?”
“Although you hesitated and struggled in your heart just now, you won’t leave.”
Jiang Wuming calmly pointed to Jack’s corpse on the ground and said, “The moment you and he chose to reveal yourselves, there were only two outcomes for you tonight. Either kill me and leave safely, or die here.
Because you know that if you fail to complete the mission, you will surely die upon your return.
Given this, you will naturally choose to fight me to the death!”
This time, Nisen did not speak. His aura fluctuated again.
It was as if Jiang Wuming, like a worm in his belly, knew his thoughts perfectly.
The youth had never met him before, didn’t know him, and certainly didn’t understand him, yet he could perfectly gauge his psychology. This composure and reasoning ability shocked him!
“What martial art did you use when you killed Jack earlier?”
After a brief silence, Nisen suddenly asked, then added, “You didn’t use your mental power when you knocked him flying with your first punch. Normally, even if you were a tenth-stage One-star War God, you wouldn’t gain the upper hand in a head-on clash with Jack, nor would you be able to break through Jack’s true qi defense!”
“You’re about to die, why ask so many questions?” Jiang Wuming retorted.
“–”
Nisen’s aura fluctuated more violently.
As a tenth-stage Two-star War God, he was considered influential even within the organization. When had he ever been so looked down upon by a One-star War God?
“You are very confident, but confident people don’t always survive in the end.”
Nisen spoke again, then the black true qi swirling around his body receded, instantly dissipating, revealing his appearance as a short old man. However, his right hand was covered in black true qi.
Seeing this, Jiang Wuming understood that the opponent had previously enveloped his entire body with black true qi to blend with the night, facilitating his concealment, so that he could deliver a fatal blow when Jiang Wuming was engaged with Jack.
Now that Jack was dead and Nisen had lost his cover, concealment was meaningless to him. It was better to condense his true qi, which would greatly enhance his power in both offense and defense.
*Swish!*
Seeing Jiang Wuming remain silent, Nisen stopped wasting words. With a thought, he channeled true qi to his feet and darted forward like a phantom, lunging at Jiang Wuming with breathtaking speed!
Nisen was already known for his speed and agility. Now that he had condensed his true qi, his speed had increased even further.
*Whoosh!*
In the blink of an eye, Nisen appeared before Jiang Wuming. His right hand transformed into a blade, stabbing towards Jiang Wuming.
Under the night sky, black true qi condensed before Nisen’s hand blade, forming a black true qi saber, as tangible as a physical weapon, more like a black blade energy, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations!
Facing Nisen’s fierce assault, Jiang Wuming did not choose to clash head-on as he had with Jack. Instead, he sidestepped and evaded the blade.
On one hand, he knew very well that although Nisen was only one stage higher than Jack, there was a significant difference in their strength. The power of Nisen’s hand blade was far more ferocious than Jack’s punch!
Even if Jiang Wuming used his strongest killing move, ‘Thunderous Strike,’ in a head-on confrontation, he might not gain any advantage.
On the other hand, he had chosen to clash head-on earlier to kill Jack in the shortest possible time while Nisen was unable to get close, using absolute strength to overpower Jack. Then, while Jack was injured, he used his mental power for the final blow!
Now, with only Nisen left, Jiang Wuming had no reason to rush.
The truly anxious one was Nisen.
The presence of Ye Feng made Nisen worry that the experts from the Dragon Country Martial Department would arrive, and he had to kill Jiang Wuming before then.
Time was on Jiang Wuming’s side.
And the more anxious a person becomes, the more prone they are to making mistakes.
This holds true in any field.
Jiang Wuming wanted Nisen to reveal an opening during his anxious attacks, and then deliver a killing blow, ending this life-and-death struggle that spanned an entire realm with minimal cost!
If victory could be achieved at minimal cost, then there was no need to incur unnecessary losses.
This was a habit Jiang Wuming had cultivated leading the troops of the Dragon War Hall in their campaigns in the dark world.
Huh?
Nisen did not expect Jiang Wuming, who had been so dominant moments ago, to choose to evade. He was momentarily surprised.
However, despite his surprise, his attack did not stop. Missing his target, he flickered his body and, like a malevolent spirit, persistently pursued Jiang Wuming.
*Swish swish swish…*
Instantly, in front of the villa, figures crossed paths, and the sound of tearing air continuously echoed.
The sounds came from Jiang Wuming and Nisen’s rapid movements, as well as Nisen’s attacks.
You advance, I retreat.
You attack, I dodge.
From beginning to end, Jiang Wuming did not attack, remaining entirely on the defensive.
And Nisen, though his momentum held the advantage and his attacks were continuous, could not even touch Jiang Wuming’s clothes, let alone injure him!
*Swish!*
Suddenly, Nisen stopped attacking Jiang Wuming, flickered his body, and darted to the villa wall, attempting to leap over the perimeter wall and enter the villa to kill Dongfang Xiaoyao.
Jiang Wuming’s brow twitched. He immediately switched from defense to offense, lunging towards Nisen!
He had seen through Nisen’s intentions and naturally could not let him succeed!
However—
The moment Jiang Wuming’s body flickered, Nisen did not leap over the wall. Instead, he abruptly turned, pushed off the ground, and completely soared into the air. His right arm and body formed a perfect straight line, his entire body parallel to the ground, like a swallow piercing through a forest, shooting towards Jiang Wuming.
At this moment, Nisen displayed his treachery to the utmost extreme.
He used Jiang Wuming’s concern for Dongfang Xiaoyao’s safety to lure Jiang Wuming into attacking, creating an opportunity for himself to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Wuming!
This change of maneuver was as fast as lightning!
In an instant, Nisen arrived before Jiang Wuming. The black blade energy forming in front of his right hand was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, aiming to harvest Jiang Wuming’s life.
As if he had already anticipated Nisen’s move, Jiang Wuming had already slowed down the moment Nisen turned. By the time Nisen lunged at him, he had stopped moving. His body spun slightly in the air like a spiral, evading the whistling blade energy!
However—
At this very moment, an unexpected change occurred!
*Whoosh!*
Accompanied by another sound of breaking air.
Nisen’s left hand suddenly held a dagger, which he swiftly thrust towards Jiang Wuming’s head!
The blade energy was a feint, the dagger a killing blow.
Those familiar with Nisen knew that he was a tenth-stage Two-star War God, especially adept at close-quarters combat with daggers.
But what no one knew was.
The left-hand blade was Nisen’s true trump card!
