World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1802 - 67: Chaos (Part 2)_2

However, unexpectedly to everyone, the imagined scene of Zhang Xiaoman being seriously injured or even directly falling did not happen. Instead, the countless energy rays vanished the moment they contacted the Ice Crystal Shield, just as when Lan Qi attacked alone previously.

"This is impossible! How can he be so strong? Could it be that he used the Stellar Treasure Mirror? Right! Isn’t the Stellar Treasure Mirror on him? He must be using it!"

The spectators from other factions revealed expressions of confusion, while all the elders from the Lan Family were astounded.

Others might not understand the Stellar Treasure Mirror, but as elders of the Lan Family, how could they have not seen it? Ji Xing did not use the Stellar Treasure Mirror at all, yet he blocked the joint attack from more than a dozen elders purely with his own strength.

"What on earth is that Ice Crystal Shield beside him? Why can it block so many of our attacks? Could it be another Treasure level Dark Spiritual Artifact? No wonder he could defeat Alman."

An elder exclaimed.

Alman, who was observing the battle, suddenly felt like he was being choked, wondering how the conversation shifted to include him.

Yet recalling Ji Xing’s true strength, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of fear in his heart, for it was at the Transcendent Level. Even if he wasn’t truly Transcendent Level, he was definitely at the Fake Transcendent Level. Now he finally understood why the Purple Charm Gate reacted when he passed through it initially; this guy truly hid his strength.

Thinking of this, Alman couldn’t help but reveal a cold smile.

Fight, fight, it’d be best if they all ended up dead, which would be advantageous for my side.

"Ji Xing, I didn’t expect that even in this situation, we couldn’t force you to take out the Stellar Treasure Mirror! I underestimated you, but don’t get complacent. Next, we’re going to get serious!"

Lan Qi roared with anger, as if signaling something, and all the elders around suddenly took action. They all started channeling the force of the Star Pattern, with tricolored light appearing on the surface of their bodies.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoman snorted coldly, and the Four-star Pattern symbol appeared on his right arm. The powerful oppressive force swept through the arena instantly, causing the elders’ faces to change, and the Star Patterns they had begun to activate dimmed under his pressure.

"Despicable Ji Xing! To use a gift from our Lan Family against us! It’s truly shameless!"

Lan Qi spat out blood and pointed at Zhang Xiaoman, cursing angrily.

Zhang Xiaoman almost laughed out of anger at his words. What do you mean by a gift from your Lan Family? It was clearly a fair trade. But when it came out of this guy’s mouth, it sounded as if the Lan Family was unconditionally giving it away.

Now he could see clearly that this Lan Qi was not only a self-conceited fool who liked to pretend to be clever, but also a quintessential argument addict. There’s no need to bother arguing with such people, because no matter what you say, they always manage to twist things further and further away through misinterpretation and nonsensical bickering. So talking more is a waste of time, and the best way to deal with such people is with absolute power to shut them up, making the world quiet.

"There is a saying in my hometown, it is impolite not to reciprocate, also there’s another saying, to repay someone with their own methods. Now I will give you both sayings, so you can truly appreciate their meanings!"

Zhang Xiaoman narrowed his eyes, then quickly arranged a spell in front of him with his hands, and suddenly pushed forward. The Ice Crystal Shield surrounding him shattered instantly, releasing a massive amount of energy from within. If carefully distinguished, the energy attribute within was the same as those of the elders’ previous attacks!

Returning Sea Divine Ability, Sea of All Rivers!

This move was his strongest defensive Divine Skill mastered so far, fusing two Divine Domain Series: one is the Defense Sequence, and the other is the Devouring Sequence.

The former increased the defensive power of these Ice Crystal Shields, such that no attack below Transcendent Level could break through the defense.

Meanwhile, the latter enabled the ice crystals to absorb myriad attacks, storing them up and finally releasing them all together, resulting in the current effect.

Of course, the ice crystals were merely the external manifestation of a shield, not truly ice crystals. If Zhang Xiaoman wished, he could transform their shape into various other forms, like water, sand, leaves, or even a flame, a piece of plastic, a cotton candy.

So to some extent, this Sea of All Rivers isn’t only impressive in defensive power, but its strategic and destructive power is also quite considerable. From Ni Yang, Zhang Xiaoman learned there exists a more advanced version of it, said to incorporate yet another Change Sequence. With the integration of this sequence, when used, the shield could also take the user’s form to confuse enemies. Unfortunately, the energy of the Change Sequence is too high, thus Zhang Xiaoman hasn’t been able to use it yet, and will leave it for future endeavors.

In the field, after his burst of attack, Lan Qi and the other elders were all sent flying by this overwhelming energy, spewing fresh blood and lying on the ground.

Everyone widened their eyes, unable to believe the scene before them.

"I see now, the Ice Crystal Shield he used didn’t completely block the attacks, it temporarily absorbed them and stored them, then regathered them for a counterattack. Haha, truly a good use of ’repaying someone with their own methods’. I like it!"

An elder from the Poison Clan couldn’t help but express his admiration.

"Hmph, self-inflicted humiliation, courting death, these people from the Lan Family are all fools. It’s a pity, a pity this talent was encountered by that old Lan Gu back then. If only he had come to my Rothschild family... cough cough..."

Seeing Lan Qi and the others defeated, Alman couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Previously being humiliated by this Ji Xing in front of so many, although he didn’t say it, he was indeed resentful.

Now it’s better, with so many people from the Lan Family making up for it, a group messing up is always better than him messing up alone. Hopefully, this way people won’t focus on him too much.

However, when he thought about such formidable strength going to the Lan Family, and they not even knowing how to cherish it, it pained him.

It was heard that he went to imprint the fourth Star Pattern. His family also had Star Pattern Masters capable of imprinting the Four-star pattern. If the opponent had chosen his side back then, the situation would not be like this now; the Rothschild family isn’t as foolish as the Lan Family, pushing talent to opposing positions.

Although the battle had ended, the scene remained dead silent.

The moment when Zhang Xiaoman defeated more than a dozen elders with one move was too shocking. Even the clan leaders from various forces present, using family Secret Treasures, couldn’t reach such a level.

"Could he be... Transcendent Level...?"

Someone whispered.

"Do you remember two years ago, at the entrance of the relic, before it started, it was him who caused the Purple Charm Gate to react during passing. Even our clan’s Peak Level clan leader hadn’t triggered such an anomaly. I said then whether there might be an issue, even if he’s not Transcendent Level, he’s at least a Fake Transcendent Level. Turns out it really was the case!"

"I was there too, right beside you, but didn’t hear you say that!"

"You... I was saying it in my mind, should I share every guess I have with you?"

"Haha, just bragging! Who can’t speak after the fact!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing! Look, the Lan Family’s Great Elder is coming out!"
