Chapter 1041: Disciple
Northern entrance of Green Lotus Park, late at night.
Gao Yang vanished.
All the puppets lost their target and reverted to standby mode. Qilin started, too.
He had thought Gao Yang had used Teleportation, but that was quickly disproven. Teleportation had a limited range. Qilin should be able to catch the traveling trace faintly with his psychic senses. Besides, teleportations didn’t come with such powerful energy ripples.
Then Qilin suspected Invisibility, but he didn’t find any trace of Gao Yang with Mind’s Eye.
Qilin was certain that Gao Yang had disappeared for real.
He couldn’t guess what Gao Yang was up to, and he didn’t waste time dwelling on it.
His left eye flashed green. Receiving the order, Heavenly Dog, perching on a lamp post, flew toward where Qing Ling was. His mission was to take the Buff Rune Circuit from her, killing Zhang Wei too once he found him.
Yet Gao Yang returned as soon as Heavenly Dog took flight.
He had been gone for less than ten seconds.
Powerful gray-blue energy rippled. Two Gao Yangs appeared out of nowhere and merged into one, his gaze sad yet determined. That startled everyone into a one-second inaction. Then the puppets on standby sprang to action.
Gao Yang shrouded himself with golden energy and conjured radiant fire in his right fist, teleporting to Qilin and making a powerful Fire Punch.
Fierce flames shot out of his fist and morphed into a fire dragon, howling and hurtling toward Qilin.
Qilin didn’t even move.
The moment the fire dragon slammed through him, Qilin turned spectral with Unreachable, looking like a green spirit. Gao Yang wasn’t surprised. The Fire Punch was only meant as a test. He immediately jumped sideways to put some distance between him and Qilin.
As soon as he landed, he sensed a cold, violent killing intent coming from his side. Only War Tiger could move so quickly with such threatening force.
He brought his giant sword down on Gao Yang.
Taking it head-on wasn’t even a choice. Gao Yang teleported away.
Blocking the blade, Gao Yang was sent flying over ten meters.
As soon as he steadied his footing, War Tiger charged at him once more like a phantom. The blade held low near the ground left a thin dent with its wild gray-green aura. Then whoosh, he brought the blade upward in a powerful swing. Blade aura rose into a green tsunami, overwhelming Gao Yang.
Using his dagger as the medium, Gao Yang consolidated the energy of Absolute Defense into a golden long blade, parrying the upward-rising slash from War Tiger.
Bam!
The golden blade shattered into countless energy particles after the perfect parry, yet the currents generated by the powerful aura still sent Gao Yang flying above the street.
Without a moment of delay, War Tiger launched himself toward Gao Yang like a missile with a cracking stomp.
Gao Yang injected energy into his dagger once more to create a longer, thicker golden blade, meeting War Tiger halfway.
The two men exchanged blows midair. The blade aura of the Green Dog Demon Blade was fierce, but the golden long blade gave as good as it got.
In a matter of seconds, countless arcs of green aura and golden energy sparked and scattered. From afar, it looked like a firework of slashes and energy particles had been launched into the sky, flickering at high frequency before slowly falling.
Things had changed.
Back then, War Tiger had crushed Gao Yang easily like an ant, but now, Gao Yang’s Agility and other stats exceeded those of War Tiger.
War Tiger’s Killing Expert was level 6. Even in his dying state, he was no match for Gao Yang.
And Gao Yang had received training in blade technique from Qing Ling, who was a disciple of War Tiger. As Qing Ling’s student, Gao Yang knew War Tiger’s patterns all too well.
With the golden long blade conjured with a Black Gold dagger, Gao Yang parried every attack from War Tiger precisely and agily. He wasn’t simply keeping War Tiger at bay, but also coming up with a solution.
He couldn’t just kill War Tiger, but it wouldn’t be easy to destroy only the green vertical eye—Lonesome Emperor’s brand—on War Tiger’s forehead without critically injuring or killing the man.
Well, he could always use Spirit Domain. Then it would be a piece of cake. However, it didn’t make sense to use his secret weapon just to deal with War Tiger. Then he would have trouble going after Qilin and the other puppets.
The thinking took two seconds.
Then Gao Yang started.
