Chapter 1318: A Sneak Attack!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“A stone door? Could this be the ‘barrier’ of this dimension?”
Gu Jimie muttered to himself, speculating the purpose and inner workings behind the door in front of him.
Anyone would’ve been able to guess that this door was important, especially since it was the only notable landmark in this dimension. Gu Jimie knew at once the meaning behind the door and was already thinking of several ways on how to get it to open. None of the other barriers had a gate like this before, so this particular one surely had to be extremely special…
“Perhaps…the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance is behind this door!!”
Gu Jimie’s fingers snapped. That had to be the case!
“This barrier is even stronger than the others, and if my teacher wasn’t able to open it, then that just proves that this area is vital! The Supreme Saint’s Inheritance and the final obstacle may very well be behind this door!
“No…perhaps this door is the final obstacle! I can get the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance if I just open the door!!
“Yes, that has to be it! Haha!! And to think I was the first to arrive here! The Supreme Saint’s Inheritance is mine!!”
Gu Jimie began to bray with excited laughter. Being able to obtain the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance was a heartwarming thought that completely overshadowed the death of his teacher. If his teacher spent two hundred years being trapped here, that just meant his teacher was never able to open it. But…
That didn’t discourage him. Yes, it was a daunting task, but the prize would be worth it! He had to open this door!
How could he possibly let a door of all things impede his path to obtain the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance?!
He’ll open it! And he’ll grab hold of the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance! Then he’ll become the strongest in the world!!
Already, Gu Jimie’s heart was lost in his delusions of grandeur. Avarice and greed captured his eyes as he regaled the door in front of him. So greedy was his stare that it seemed as if he was trying to open the door simply by staring at it.
“Bzzz…”
Energy gathered around Gu Jimie’s person. Like a torrent of water, the energy flowed out from his right hand and transformed into multiple blades of darkness to strike at the door.
“Boom!!!”
Multiple explosions erupted around the door as the attacks landed, each explosion being louder and larger than the last.
“Boom boom boom boom boom…”
That wasn’t the end of Gu Jimie’s experimentations. Hands outstretched, he continued to send attack after attack to the door.
Since all of Gu Jimie’s attacks were aimed at the center of the door, Bai Yunfei didn’t have to move at all from his hiding spot in the corner to avoid being hit.
Gu Jimie’s assault lasted for a full minute before he calmed down and began to think.
“The door can’t be forced open, not with brute force at the very least…”
Those attacks had only been a preliminary experiment to see if any information could be gained. He stepped closer to the door, his right hand ready to stretch out and touch the door to feel its construct.
“Eh?”
A small gasp escaped from Gu Jimie’s lips. Now that he was closer to the door, he was able to see the network of veins running all over the door.
Gu Jimie drew quiet again to think. Transmitting a pulse of soulforce into the door, Gu Jimie observed what reaction was had. Perhaps if he figured out what reason these veins had, he’d be able to open the door.
It was while Gu Jimie was studying the network that a cautious Bai Yunfei began to take action. Slowly, both his hands began to curl into fists…
“Bzzz…”
The stone door reacted at once to the soulforce fed into it. It began to light up in a way that made Gu Jimie grow excited. But then the joy died away from his face, something was wrong!
To his shock, the door was beginning to absorb his soulforce! As if he accidentally triggered a trap of some kind, the door was starting to greedily take in his soulforce like water down a hole!!
It was only meant to be a test! Gu Jimie just wanted to see what would happen if he fed his soulforce into the door and nothing more! And now instead of obtaining a clue, Gu Jimie was frantically trying his best to staunch the flow of soulforce from him to the door.
……
From his hiding spot by the corner of the door, Bai Yunfei’s eyes lit up with excitement—
Now was the time to strike!
“Bang!!”
A corner of the door was suddenly dyed red as Bai Yunfei exploded out from his position. Like a loose arrow, Bai Yunfei shot straight toward Gu Jimie with an exorbitant amount of energy!
The two were within two hundred meters of each other so Bai Yunfei was able to close the distance instantly!
The Cataclysmic Seal wasn’t a very good option right now, so Bai Yunfei opted to simply charge at Gu Jimie and attack him straight on with a left punch!
“What?!”
Gu Jimie’s head snapped to attention at once. Though Bai Yunfei had been quick to explode from his spot, Gu Jimie was similarly fast to react!
“Ah!!!”
The timing was perfect. Gu Jimie was in a flummox due to his soulforce being drained when Bai Yunfei attacked, so Bai Yunfei should’ve had an ample amount of time to attack. Unfortunately, Bai Yunfei underestimated the reaction speed of a Saint. In response to being attacked, Gu Jimie whirled around and lashed out at Bai Yunfei’s fist with a punch of his own!
“Bang!!’
The two fists struck one another with enough force to send a shock up Bai Yunfei’s arm before he was flung backward!
He couldn’t even feel his left arm anymore. The pain of the blow was harsher on Bai Yunfei than Gu Jimie and it showed when Bai Yunfei spat out a mouthful of blood. Rather than give up, Bai Yunfei immediately launched a secondary attack!
The Cataclysmic Seal!!
The soul armament traveled forward as Bai Yunfei traveled in the opposite direction. It was already the size of a small disk by the time it was about to careen into Gu Jimie’s chest!
Several emotions ran through Gu Jimie’s face at the sight. Shock, suspicion, fury, and even pain. His shock from seeing Bai Yunfei appear out of thin air had yet to wear off.
His first instinct upon seeing the Cataclysmic Seal was to back away. When it approached him, he shifted toward the right to dodge it!
“Whoosh…”
Clipping the hems of his robes as it passed, the Cataclysmic Seal flew harmlessly past Gu Jimie, much to the man’s delight. As he was ready to sigh in relief, Gu Jimie suddenly felt a sense of foreboding from behind!
“Ah!!!”
A scream erupted from him as he immediately took action. As if by instinct, his body snapped forward at the waist almost as if he didn’t have any bones!
“Whoosh!! Pft…”
Gu Jimie felt something rustle past his ears before something sharp bit into him. Alarmed, he felt as his left shoulder grow cold and start to have something strange leak into it!
Gray light began to disseminate from his shoulder into the rest of his body, but it took Gu Jimie a moment to blink and stare at it before he could realize what it was.
“The Soul Extinguishing Needle!!!”
