As one of the most stunning martial arts prodigies of a certain European royal family, Jack was known as the Golden Lion, his spear techniques reaching the pinnacle of perfection.
This spear thrust, seemingly ordinary, condensed his understanding of martial arts and spearplay.
At this moment, he was like a knight from ancient battlefields, charging forward against the enemy, unleashing a peerless spear thrust.
The Golden War Spear emanated a golden light, exuding terrifying energy fluctuations. If it struck Jiang Wuming, Jiang Wuming would surely die!
Shua!
Facing Jack's terrifying and peerless spear thrust, Jiang Wuming sprang off his feet and directly retreated.
This was the first time Jiang Wuming had chosen to retreat in a battle since returning to Dragon Country.
This was because he knew the horror of Jack's spear thrust!
Of course, he could still resolve it even if it were just this.
What he truly cared about and was wary of was Nison, who was hidden in the darkness.
He knew very well that Jack was merely a diversion, meant to attract his attention. Once he engaged Jack or evaded, Nison would launch a decisive blow.
This retreat, while seemingly evading Jack's sharp edge, was actually to prevent Nison from attacking from behind!
As expected!
From a distance, Ye Feng stopped in his tracks. He used his keen eyesight to observe the battle in front of the villa.
When he saw Jack make his move, before the spear even reached him, Jiang Wuming chose to retreat. This further solidified his judgment – Jiang Wuming could not possibly survive the combined attack of Jack and Nison. If he believed Jiang Wuming's nonsense and remained there, he would surely die!
"Where are you retreating to?!"
At the same time, Jack roared, his blood and qi boiling completely. The golden true qi became even more concentrated, and his speed increased. The long spear in his hand was like a meteor streaking across the night sky, shattering the air and whipping up air currents wherever it passed.
The enemy retreats, I advance.
In a martial artist's duel, momentum is as important as in a clash between two armies.
Jiang Wuming's retreat directly led to his momentum being suppressed by Jack – Jack had the formidable presence of someone about to kill Jiang Wuming with a single thrust!
As Jack's speed increased, the distance between him and Jiang Wuming shrank from two meters to one meter, and it continued to shorten!
However, facing all this, Jiang Wuming's body was enveloped in white true qi. His expression was calm as water, his mental power operating at its peak, carefully sensing everything behind him.
Behind him was the villa's perimeter wall.
Ten meters, five meters, three meters...
Then, when Jiang Wuming was only one meter away from the wall behind him, he sprang up like a rocket, launching himself from the ground.
Jiang Wuming's action caused Jack's pupils to dilate, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Jiang Wuming to choose to dodge by leaping into the air!
This was because in a duel between masters, jumping was a major taboo – martial artists in the air had no stable footing, and landing after a jump would expose a vulnerability.
That vulnerability, to a master, was a fatal flaw, often leading to instant death!
Clang!
Amidst his surprise, Jack's speed did not decrease. The Golden War Spear, like a golden ray of light, pierced past Jiang Wuming's feet and directly pierced through the wall behind Jiang Wuming!
Missing his target, the Golden War Spear became stuck in the wall. Jack flicked his wrist, intending to lift the spear, which would not only break through the wall but also allow him to stab Jiang Wuming from below!
However—
Jiang Wuming did not give Jack that opportunity!
As Jiang Wuming ascended into the air, he swiftly kicked towards Jack's head with his right foot!
At this moment, the white true qi surrounding Jiang Wuming's body transformed into a dragon's form. He was like an enraged wild dragon, lashing out its tail towards the enemy.
In this move, Jiang Wuming employed a technique from the "True Dragon Precious Art"!
Hmm?
Jack could feel the terror of Jiang Wuming's kick, but he was fearless. He raised his left arm to protect the side of his head, his right hand still gripping the war spear.
He intended to block Jiang Wuming's kick with his left arm, and simultaneously, as he had planned, lift the spear to stab Jiang Wuming!
Ideals are grand, but reality is harsh.
"Bang—"
With a muffled thud, Jiang Wuming's kick landed on Jack's left arm. Terrifying true qi instantly erupted, like a cannonball explosion, unleashing formidable energy.
Jack's protective true qi was almost breached. His left arm became contorted, not only causing intense pain but also striking his head, making him dizzy.
Furthermore, a terrifying counter-force sent his body uncontrollably into the air, flying horizontally.
He had no choice but to release the Golden War Spear in his hand, his entire body being kicked away like a football by Jiang Wuming!
"Uh..."
From a distance, Ye Feng exclaimed in shock upon witnessing this scene!
He had been in close proximity to Jack earlier and could feel Jack's power, whom he considered a dominant force among the Two-Star War Gods.
However—
Such a powerful individual was sent flying by Jiang Wuming's kick after their first exchange. How could this not shock Ye Feng?
Jack was also somewhat shocked.
Although he had made psychological preparations for Jiang Wuming's strength due to Jiang Wuming's high ranking on the Two-Star War God list, he had not expected that Jiang Wuming would not only break his spear thrust in one move but also almost shatter his true qi defense with a single kick!
Amidst his shock, a cold and playful smile appeared on Jack's face.
His role was to attract Jiang Wuming's attention and create an opportunity for Nison to deliver a killing blow!
At this moment, he had perfectly completed his mission – Jiang Wuming had not only attacked him, leaving an opening, but had also jumped, practically making himself a live target for Nison!
Nison, naturally, would not miss this excellent opportunity.
Under the night sky, Nison was enveloped in black true qi, like a mass of black mist. At some unknown point, he had approached Jiang Wuming's right side, sticking close to the wall.
Shua!
The moment Jiang Wuming kicked Jack away, Nison's black true qi dissipated and surged towards his right arm, concentrating on his right hand and encasing the black dagger he held.
The black dagger, like a streak of black light, stabbed towards Jiang Wuming!
This stab, though seemingly ordinary, was executed by Nison with perfect timing!
The moment Jiang Wuming landed would be the beginning of his demise!
Jiang Wuming was fully aware of this.
To be precise, he had anticipated this scene before the battle had truly begun.
Pa!
In a crucial moment, Jiang Wuming, still in mid-air, stepped on the Golden War Spear and leaped up again, soaring towards Nison's head.
Hmm?
This sudden turn of events completely caught Nison off guard, causing him to react instantly. He changed his move, flicking his wrist. The dagger in his hand, like a cunning snake, stabbed towards the sky.
It had to be said that as a peak Two-Star War God, Nison's combat instincts were incredibly powerful!
He made a tactical adjustment almost immediately!
But this time, it was an impromptu change, and his timing was not as precise as before.
The moment he changed the direction of the dagger thrust, Jiang Wuming had already soared past his head.
Nison's stab missed its mark!
Just then...
Jiang Wuming, like a celestial steed soaring into the sky, powerfully kicked towards Nison's back.
This kick, taken advantage of by Jiang Wuming, was impossible for Nison to evade. He could only activate his true qi and concentrate it on his back for defense.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Jiang Wuming's kick landed squarely on Nison's back. Although it did not break through Nison's true qi defense, it caused Nison's body to stagger violently and then lose his balance, stumbling forward.
Pa!
At the same time, Jiang Wuming landed gracefully, grabbed the Golden War Spear, and forcefully pulled it from the wall!
Breaking the move, seizing the spear.
Facing the joint assault of Jack and Nison, Jiang Wuming not only successfully broke their moves but also delivered a kick to each of them, even holding Jack's Golden War Spear in his hand!
Under the night sky.
The white true qi on Jiang Wuming's body once again enveloped him, like white armor. The Golden War Spear in his hand reflected the heavens.
White-clad warrior, Golden War Spear.
The young man, in a stunning display, began his second performance of the hunt!
