YM778.TV Chapter 339: A Difficult Nemesis
Although rock cakes were a famous delicacy in China, it was just a dessert, costing a thousand bucks for one slice. However, the youth immediately offered a hundred thousand and later added it to a million himself.
Others would be bewildered if they were to hear him offer a million for a slice of rock cake and exclaim the phrase, ‘having money makes you capricious!”
Of course, that was the case if it were really a rock cake.
Shi Xiaobai felt somewhat helpless. This was clearly not the rock cake the youth was thinking of. It was just a rock, a random piece of rock that could be found anywhere on the ground, an ordinary rock that could be easily picked up from the ground.
Was he trying to scam himself by paying a million bucks to buy a crappy piece of rock for eating?
“This is really a piece of rock.”
Shi Xiaobai struggled internally and finally shook his head to reject the youth’s offer. While doing so, he swallowed the remaining rock in his hand, and out of habit, took out another rock from his pocket and took another mouthful, looking jubilant in the process.
The youth’s face immediately turned black.
Hey, you are eating it so sumptuously while mentioning that it’s just a piece of rock, are you treating me for a fool?
“It seems as if you do not believe that I have a million bucks, nor do you believe that I will use a million bucks to buy a slice of rock cake. Fine, I will snatch a rock cake from your pocket and stuff a million into it!”
The youth’s eyes turned slightly cold.
Who would believe it if he were to tell others that he could not buy a slice of rock cake with a million?
In that case, he could only be oppressive and forcefully ‘buy’ it from him.
With his strength, snatching a few slices of cake would have been an easy task, something he took for granted. He had already done enough to offer a million bucks to buy the cake.
As for the reason why he would use a million to buy a slice of rock cake? It was because he had a craving for rock cake. As such, the rock cake was worth a million.
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai was delighted instead of turning furious. He said, “Perfect, This King happens to have something to snatch from you as well!”
Shi Xiaobai had been coveting the stone dragon for a very long while, but he was unsure of the trigger for casus belli. Now, his ‘robbery’ was justified!
The youth chuckled and said, “Fine, then let’s fight. If you can win, you can take anything from me, including my life. If I were to win, it wouldn’t be as simple as taking a slice of rock cake from you!”
Shi Xiaobai’s eyes turned slightly austere. He never expected the youth to instantly escalate the matter to a life-and-death battle. This person was a little odd.
However, Shi Xiaobai naturally wasn’t afraid as he immediately summoned the black sword. Most of the time, strength was much more useful than reason.
“Using a sword in front of me?”
The youth scoffed as his eyes flashed a silver beam. A black sword appeared out of nowhere in his hand!
Shi Xiaobai’s pupils constricted slightly. This black sword was identical to the black sword in his hand!
The next moment, golden points of light began emerging out of the ground as it slowly gathered towards the youth’s body, giving his body a golden luster.
This was the power of Shi Xiaobai’s Sword Truth—Excalibur!
Mimicry?
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised. The sword intent emanated by the youth was not as simple as imitation!
“Take that!”
Without waiting any longer or grapple over who should attack first, the youth slashed right at Shi Xiaobai!
Golden sword beams burst out forcefully!
Shi Xiaobai pricked his eyebrows up slightly. He activated his Sword Truth as well, producing a golden sword beam that was hardly any different from the one it was meeting!
“Boom!”
The two golden sword beams collided and shattered.
“Bang!”
As the golden sword beams shattered, two translucent sword beams shot straight out like a cicada casting off its skin. Once again, they collided with a boom and shattered!
The scene looked like it was a mirrored reflection.
“Take another strike of mine!”
The youth laughed out loudly and slashed with his sword once again.
As he raised his sword, there was a whistling of the wind.
As the sword cleaved downwards, a sword beam surged down like a strong gust of wind!
A hurricane stirred up large amounts of sand, dicing the rocks on the ground as it swirled towards Shi Xiaobai!
This was the Kun Peng’s Sword of Wind!?
Shi Xiaobai similarly used Kun Peng’s Sword of Wind to resist the attack. As the two sword winds clashed, they reached a stalemate for a moment before sounds of sword beams clashing resounded incessantly.
Once again, this clash of swords was like a reflection of each other.
The youth said with a laugh, “Come on, it’s time for you to attack. Use whatever move you have!”
Shi Xiaobai fell silent.
Did this youth think of him as a fool?
Using other moves to let him imitate them as well?
Shi Xiaobai had figured that it was likely that the youth had a superpower that allowed him to copy the moves or even items of others. His Sword Truth power and Kun Peng’s Sword of Wind had been learned by the youth when he was pursuing the stone dragon.
Shi Xiaobai gradually lifted his sword. If any attack he used could be mimicked, he could only use the easiest method, a competition of speed and power!
Shi Xiaobai charged at the youth and slashed out!
This attack was the purest and simplest Beginner Sword!
The youth could read Shi Xiaobai’s intentions. While shaking his head with a laugh, a silver light flashed in his eyes. A silver shield appeared in front of him, instantly blocking Shi Xiaobai’s sword.
Following that, the youth took a step forward and the black sword in his hand transformed into a silver spear!
“Tyrant Spear!”
The youth bellowed as a cold beam flashed. The spear thrust forward with a domineering force as though it was a dragon!
Shi Xiaobai’s heart leaped.
Wasn’t Tyrant Spear one of Pulp Farmer’s moves?
From the force coming at him, the youth’s strike was much stronger than Pulp Farmer’s Tyrant Spear!
Shi Xiaobai’s sword had been blocked by the shield, and was momentarily unable to parry the thrusting spear; therefore, he could only retreat.
At this moment, the silver spear in the youth’s hand transformed into a purplish-golden wheel gun.
The transformation took only an instant, and at the moment it completed its transformation, the youth had pulled the trigger!
A purplish-golden bullet shot out at Shi Xiaobai!
This was no doubt Sen Senyuan’s attack!
Shi Xiaobai knew the power of this bullet. He did not dare to block it with only Beginner Sword, so he had not choice but to quickly dodge sideways and escape the explosive range of the bullet!
“Boom!”
The bullet exploded as sand blasted in all directions and filled the sky, like a mushroom cloud.
Shi Xiaobai had just managed to escape the blast range, so he was not injured.
But he was now facing a dilemma. The youth had countless means and it was unknown how many moves he had learned from others. If he only restricted himself to using Beginner Sword or Kun Peng’s Sword of Wind, it was unlikely for him to defeat the youth.
Knowing that his moves could be replicated, Shi Xiaobai did not even plan on using the essence of Crab Steps, ‘flash motion’.
However, if he did not even use Crab Steps, how was he to defeat the mysterious youth that had a wide array of techniques?
The youth could apparently tell Shi Xiaobai’s dilemma, or it should be said that he had intended to force Shi Xiaobai into such a dilemma.
The youth chuckled and said, “Shi Xiaobai, you should not only be this strong considering how you have conquered five Level Lords. Come on, use the most powerful techniques you are proudest of, or else…this will be the end of your trial.”
