Chapter 88: My Defense Is Intimidating

He swallowed one pill and shoved another into the mouth of Qing Jiuye, who was in a semi-conscious state.On the other side of the battlefield, Qingqi Shu and Suchi each took a Danwan pill.Just as sud...The sword light formed a perfect circle, as if solidified into reality. Jiang Wang had become completely absorbed in the moment, losing himself in the interplay of object and self.

One sword becomes a circle, wherever the sword reaches, wind and rain cannot prevail.

The pressure Jian Yuan was enduring vanished suddenly, yet his body continued the motion instinctively.

...And then he suddenly woke up.

Grip the sword still.

>

A mountain of serpent corpses lay strewn about, and he stood in the only hollow amidst it all.

Sourness, softness, pain, all sorts of flavors clash at this moment.

And the condensed to its ultimate expression, one-foot long sword circle, also became his strongest defensive sword style at this stage.

But, finally held on!

Before Jiang Wang could even let out a sigh of relief, suddenly!

>

Rustling, rustling.

The group of deadwood snakes that had just swam away, unexpectedly surged back.

One go all out, the second decline, the third exhaustion.

These deadwood snakes actually know how to avoid the edge and come back again!

This is worse than the poison that withers the Devouring Flower instantly.

This explains that the group of tree snakes is indeed intelligent.

This is a placeholder for text.

Or, perhaps these withered snakes are being manipulated by some kind of intelligent entity.

The previous "surrounded by snakes" was not an accident, but a deliberate trap set by the withered branches snake group!

What Jiang Wang faced was not just a beast with poison that acted purely on instinct, without thought.

This is the translated text:

After the group of venomous snakes arrived, they didn't hesitate at all. They sprang up one after another, once again shooting out like arrows in a storm.

And once again caught in the center of the withered snake swarm's attack, Jiang Wang didn't draw his sword again, but instead returned it to its scabbard at the first opportunity, ten fingers dancing like flowers as he formed seals with incantations.

His hand.

The left hand is still in good condition, but the right hand's tiger's mouth is bloody and blurred.

Every move is a piercing pain.

Here's the translation:

But besides a slightly furrowed brow, Jiang Wang didn't have any other expressions, and his movements remained unchanged.

Those who cry to their parents about everything are only able to do so because they have parents to complain to and beg from.

He was afraid of pain, but he understood early on that crying out wouldn't help.

Defeat it!

A dense horde of venomous snakes surged toward Jiang Wang.

Chirp chirp, chirp chirp!

The more dense and rapid Flame Sparrow, centered on Jiang Wang, suddenly exploded!

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

All eight musical instruments played in harmony, and the flame parrots exploded in succession.

After a burst of his magical arts, Jiang Wang's surroundings within fifty steps were instantly empty!

To be precise, all the dead branches and twigs, as well as the snakes living in them, were gone. The giant trees that were affected, however, remained unharmed.

Initially, Jiang Wang did not choose the Eight Sound Flame Sparrow for one reason. In the depths of the forest, using powerful fire-based techniques could inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences.

But it turned out that, due to some peculiarity, his Blazing Sparrow's attacks had no effect on these giant trees at all. Not even a singe mark was left, let alone any major fire caused.

But the group of dead branches snakes fifty steps away was noticeably less dense.

A few rattan snakes were moving around within fifty steps, as if they were also hesitating how to deal with the situation.

But Jiang Wang did not hesitate.

Bang bang bang bang bang...

He raced against time, using a meteor of flame to bridge the gap and quickly escape.

>

Two hundred steps, five hundred steps, one mile, three miles, five miles...

Jiang looked north and galloped all the way until he clearly felt Dao Yuan beginning to help those in difficulty, then he landed.

A blazing meteor isn't a long-distance escape technique. Maintaining this high speed of movement, the current limit is roughly fifty miles. And he needs to always keep enough primordial energy reserves to support a battle at any time.

The reason for leaving so decisively was two-fold: concern that the noise made by the Eight-Sound Flame Sparrows might attract danger, and also because of the presence of the Dry Branch Snake horde itself.

Here's the translation, keeping HTML tags intact:

Behind this group of deadwood snakes, there must be a wise existence, or maybe even the Snake King. But Jiang Wang wasn't sure if he could find it.

As a species naturally gifted with camouflage, the king cobra would hide even deeper. Moreover, with its intelligence, it would be even more unlikely to reveal itself in any way that distinguished it from other cobras.

Jiang Wang had no need to tangle with this group of withered snakes in the unfamiliar Jade Heng world, especially when they were so dangerous. The best course of action was to leave before he had enough confidence.

Having escaped the encirclement of the viper horde, I could finally tend to my wounds. The worst was my tiger's mouth, repeatedly pounded and bruised. After applying medicine and a rudimentary bandage, it would have to do for now.

The bandages were cut directly from clean clothes taken from the storage box. When bandaging, just be careful not to affect finger flexibility. It wasn't difficult for Jiang Wang, he was used to it.

After being ambushed by a group of vipers, he became even more cautious about this dense forest.

Even towards the giant trees that make up the forest, there was a sense of caution.

Wood giving rise to fire is a natural law, but the eight notes of flame sparrow covering it without any damage...is a very strange thing.

But if these trees were truly in trouble, in this boundless forest sea, it seemed like there was only one path left: to die.

Of course, in Jiang Wang's perception of life, there was no such thing as "waiting to die."

I reconfirmed my direction and continued north. Even if I walk a single road to its end, it's better than wandering aimlessly and staying stuck in place forever.

This time, the silence of the forest did not last long. After a while, the sound of breaking air came from far to near.

Jiang Wang dodged behind a giant tree.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures... they should be figures, were running through the forest at a fast speed.

In this endless sea of forest, besides beasts, there are also humans!

Jiang Wang held his breath and observed the situation.

Like the sound of a bird's beak pecking at wood.

An arrow... no, there are three arrows.

One of them, perched on a towering tree right within Jiang Wang's line of sight, caused his pupils to dilate slightly.

Although the trees in this forest come in various species, and Jiang Wang couldn't name them all, they shared one common trait: remarkable resilience and astonishing defense.

Jiang Wang's eight-sound flame sparrow couldn't harm these giant trees. But this arrow went deep into the tree.

The second and third arrows hadn't entered the ground, trembling and wavering, stuck just ahead on the path, stopping the figure that was dashing forward. It came to a halt not far in front of Jiang Wang.

It seems like these two people are in a pursuer-pursued relationship.

The person standing before Jiang Wang was rather muscular. His clothes were quite strange, not made of leather, hemp, or silk, but resembling woven grass. He exposed a considerable amount of skin; his upper body was partially bared on one side, and his lower body seemed to be a kind of skirt-like garment.

But looking at the muscles and Adam's apple, it was clearly a man. All in all, Jiang Wang had traveled to many countries and met many people, but he had never seen such a way of dressing.

The man did notice Jiang Wang, but only glanced at him for a moment before turning his head with pride and looking back at his opponent.

Jiang Wang didn't quite understand what was so proud about this person being chased everywhere. He didn't know who they were either, but it wasn't his business. He'd watch and see first.

"Qingqi tree, you can't escape!" the person chasing after him stopped and shouted loudly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The pronunciation was a bit awkward, perhaps closer to the language of Jing Guo, but Jiang Wang could still understand it.

The languages of powerful nations like Jing and Qi were quite popular within their spheres of influence. Those who traveled among the various states could generally understand some of them.

The person shouting held a short bow in their hand, an arrow nocked and ready to be fired.

"Humph!"

The burly man named Qing Qi Shu took out a wooden shield from somewhere, held it in front of him with one hand, and said proudly, "Qing Jiu Ye, I was just letting you have your way. Do you really think I'm afraid of you Take a look at what I have in my hands."

One who called themselves Qing Jiu Ye did not reply, directly drawing their bow and shooting.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qing Qi's tree cast a contemptuous glance over Jiang Wang, even lingering on him for a moment, as if saying, "Well, learned something new, country bumpkin"

Then the force of the attack rebounded back onto Qing Jiu Ye's body. She shook her shield, its intricate patterns unmoving, and said with arrogance, "My Aoki Shield was blessed by a dragon god, its defense is formidable! Your arrows stand no chance against it!"

Jiang Wang was a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but interject, "But, he didn't shoot your shield."

Qing Qi Shu was stunned, and when she lowered her head, she saw that her knee was bleeding profusely.
