Jiang Liu flashed Nebula Shrunken Earth, silently approaching the side of Koinu Jun'ichirō, preparing to unleash his Ice Blade.
Koinu Jun'ichirō had already realized what was happening. It turned out that he didn't dare to release his Divine Sense, but only looked with his eyes. When he couldn't find Jiang Liu, he immediately flashed away from where he was.
Seeing that he couldn't launch a sneak attack, Jiang Liu gave up the idea and drew his broadsword. The surrounding energy immediately converged on Jiang Liu.
Seeing Jiang Liu preparing to use his Illusory Transformation energy to fight, Koinu Jun'ichirō also drew his wide and narrow long sword and began to gather his spiritual energy.
The Grandmaster of Corpse Valley then attacked the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, drawing out a weapon of unknown origin. It resembled a human shinbone, but was jet black and seemed to emanate a corpse aura.
The Frostwing Dragon flapped its wings and flew up, standing side-by-side with the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, facing the Grandmaster of Corpse Valley. Before long, the two beasts and the one were locked in battle.
With a flap of its fleshy wings, the Frostwing Dragon created a hurricane, while the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger would occasionally unleash mental attacks, especially its middle eye, which would occasionally shoot out a burst of energy.
This kept the Grandmaster of Corpse Valley constantly on his toes, sometimes blocking the breath attacks of the Frostwing Dragon, sometimes dodging the attacks of the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger.
The two beasts and one person fought further and further away, gradually moving out of the fighting range of Jiang Liu and Koinu Jun'ichirō.
Before long, a Jiang Liu, Illusory Transformation primordial energy, appeared. He was lifelike, holding a large sword, with bright, piercing eyes, staring straight ahead.
Meanwhile, Koinu Jun'ichirō Illusory Transformation up a scantily clad woman, also wielding four swords of varying lengths, who was striking seductive poses and constantly flirting with the Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu.
The Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu drew his broadsword and slashed at the Illusory Transformation Koinu Jun'ichirō. The Illusory Transformation woman dodged the blow, then drew her short sword and thrust it at Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu.
Illusory Transformation a Jiang Liu of his sword, the two weapons vanished simultaneously. Then, weapons reappeared in their hands, and they continued their fierce battle.
Koinu Jun'ichirō couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Jiang Liu's cultivation speed was too fast. He had already advanced to the Grandmaster level in just over two years. What would happen if he did it for a few more years?
Now that we've become enemies with him, whether for the sake of the great cause of the East Wo Country or for my own personal vendetta, I must do everything in my power to kill him.
Koinu Jun'ichirō drew his longest sword and swung it down at Jiang Liu with both hands.
This was Jiang Liu's first time using Illusory Transformation techniques in battle, and he wasn't very skilled at it yet, so he was paying more attention to it. It was only when Koinu Jun'ichirō's greatsword came slashing down that Jiang Liu realized what was happening.
Jiang Liu quickly dodged to the side, simultaneously retaliating with his broadsword. He Heaven and Earth One Blade Chop, a massive blade of light flashing forth, while a storm of Primal Qi Storm condensed, all slashing towards Koinu Jun'ichirō.
Koinu Jun'ichirō also gathered his energy, and a huge blade of light appeared, directly clashing with Jiang Liu.
"Boom!" A loud noise rang out between the two men, and then their broadswords flew backward.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Liu took eight steps in quick succession, unleashing an aura of the Eight Steps of Trampling towards Koizumi Junichiro. At the same time, he raised his fist and unleashed an Extreme Fist towards Koinu Jun'ichirō.
Koinu Jun'ichirō drew his shortest knife first, flashed close to Jiang Liu, and thrust the short knife at Jiang Liu's chest like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.
Just as Koinu Jun'ichirō's short sword was about to pierce Jiang Liu, Koinu Jun'ichirō's body paused for a moment. It turned out that Jiang Liu's Eight Steps of Trampling had stopped him, and then the Tiger's Roar of Extreme Fist also shocked him.
Koinu Jun'ichirō paused his attack for a moment, but Jiang Liu's attack continued.
With a loud "bang!", Koinu Jun'ichirō's body was struck by Jiang Liu's fist. Koinu Jun'ichirō's body flew backward, and the short sword in his hand was knocked out of his hand. Blood rushed up from his mouth and he spat it out.
Jiang Liu's attention was diverted, and his Illusory Transformation body, which was engaged in battle, paused for a moment. The Illusory Transformation Koinu Jun'ichirō seized the opportunity and thrust his short sword straight into Jiang Liu's chest. Jiang Liu's Illusory Transformation body immediately swayed precariously.
Jiang Liu himself suffered a backlash, and a mouthful of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The two were evenly matched in this exchange, neither gaining the upper hand.
Jiang Liu calmed down and observed the movements of the Koinu Jun'ichirō. Under the influence of his spiritual power, the Illusory Transformation body continued to gather its energy, ready to launch a powerful attack at any moment.
This time, Koinu Jun'ichirō's Illusory Transformation form launched the first attack, his figure flashing as he approached Jiang Liu, his short sword spinning as he attacked the Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu.
Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu dodged with a step, then slashed diagonally with his broadsword, knocking Illusory Transformation Koinu Jun'ichirō's short sword away. Illusory Transformation Koinu Jun'ichirō then produced another sword and thrust it towards Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu.
At this moment, Koinu Jun'ichirō's true form also launched an attack, drawing a knife and throwing it at Jiang Liu before lunging forward.
Jiang Liu kept a portion of his attention focused on controlling his Illusory Transformation body, using the Cloudfall Strike technique to throw a punch at Koinu Jun'ichirō. With the Nebula Shrunken Earth activated, Jiang Liu's figure instantly became ghostly.
When Koinu Jun'ichirō realized he couldn't find Jiang Liu, he narrowed his eyes, trying to locate Jiang Liu by listening to the wind. Because his Divine Sense had been devoured by Jiang Liu, he dared not release Divine Sense outside his body to investigate.
Xiao Quan's action was exactly what Jiang Liu wanted. Even the Peak Grandmaster Flowing Cloud Matriarch couldn't detect Jiang Liu's figure before, let alone Koinu Jun'ichirō, who was only Grandmaster.
Jiang Liu summoned Nebula Shrunken Earth and approached Koinu Jun'ichirō with incredible speed. He unleashed a Starfall attack, followed by Cloudfall Strike, and then delivered a soft, silent kick to Koinu Jun'ichirō's groin.
The mental attack reached Koinu Jun'ichirō's forehead and shot straight in, but was blocked by Koinu Jun'ichirō. However, his Divine Sense sea was also attacked, and then Jiang Liu kicked him.
Koinu Jun'ichirō had no idea that he had been hit; he only felt a cracking sound coming from his lower body, followed by a sharp pain.
Stimulated by this, the figure of the Illusory Transformation Koinu Jun'ichirō also flickered. He had already raised his sword to cleave the Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu in two.
As a result, the Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu seized the opportunity, and with a swift sweep of his greatsword, he sliced Illusory Transformation Koinu Jun'ichirō in two.
The real body of Koinu Jun'ichirō suffered a double blow, and he fell directly to the ground. The Illusory Transformation Koinu Jun'ichirō in mid-air could no longer maintain his form and dissipated into the air.
The Illusory Transformation Jiang Liu instantly merged with Jiang Liu, and Jiang Liu's entire body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of light, pressing straight down towards the place where Koinu Jun'ichirō had fallen.
Although Jiang Liu descended very quickly, he didn't emit any breath. It turned out that even when Jiang Liu descended, he was still using the Nebula Shrunken Earth.
Koinu Jun'ichirō only managed to regain his balance just before he hit the ground, at which point he let out a cry of pain.
Suddenly, a mournful cry echoed throughout the entire mountain range; only someone experiencing excruciating pain could utter such a cry.
Jiang Liu didn't care about anything else. The attack from Cloudfall Strike came right away. Before Koinu Jun'ichirō could react, Jiang Liu's thigh had already stepped on it in mid-air, and it was a powerful and heavy blow.
"Bang!" More than half of Koinu Jun'ichirō's body was stomped into the ground by Jiang Liu.
"Ah!" Koinu Jun'ichirō roared, his hands trembling as he prepared to leap up from the ground.
At this moment, Jiang Liu's Yuan Illusory Transformation into a greatsword and struck, easily breaking through Koinu Jun'ichirō's defenses and slicing him in two.
Even after Jiang Liu cut him in two, Koinu Jun'ichirō continued to scream pitifully, struggling and flailing his arms wildly, unleashing his energy indiscriminately.
A large number of trees around them fell down, and Jiang Liu dodged and weaved to avoid the dying attack of Koinu Jun'ichirō.
Jiang Liu Heaven and Earth One Blade Chop, cleaving Koinu Jun'ichirō's upper body in two from top to bottom, finally silencing Koinu Jun'ichirō's screams.
Then, streams of chaotic energy burst forth from Koinu Jun'ichirō's body, indicating that the energy aura on Koinu Jun'ichirō's body was beginning to dissipate.
This demonstrates the immense physical strength and vitality of Grandmaster.
Jiang Liu stood on the ground, panting, and was about to sit down and recover when he suddenly heard a scream of pain. He immediately realized that it was the scream of the Frostwing Dragon.
