Chapter 660: Felling

The mental attack that the Jinxi Patriarch had sent his way smashed ineffectively against the walls of a fortress. Unlike others without any mental cultivation, there was an island at the center of Sages Spiritual Sea. Not only that, but upon that island there was a large fortress. A fortress with two huge gates that rattled whenever the wave of energy knocked against the walls. The old mans Qi wasnt immediately dispelled after crashing against the walls of the fortress. There was a hint of the old mans will, keeping the energy from dissipating. As he continued to create attacks in the outside world, more and more of his Qi was carried on the sound and penetrated into Sages Spiritual Sea.

Even so, the Jinxi Patriarch finally had to stop. Each time the attack struck the walls of his fortress it lost some of its energy. It didnt break apart completely, but it was still weakened. After the patriarch maintained his attack for nearly ten minutes he finally had to call it to a halt. The strand of will finally faded and most of the patriarchs Qi reserves were expended. Of course, at their rank neither of them would ever be able to run out of Qi entirely, but they had to take a break so their reserves could have time to recover.

At least that was why the Jinxi Patriarch stopped. Opposite from him, Sage was only faking weakness. If he wanted to, he could resist the attacks without taking any steps back and he was far from as tired as he was making it seem. He was following his plan of luring the Patriarch to underestimate him. There was also the fact that hed never really fought on a stage in front of so many people and he couldnt help but want to give the people a good show. When the final pressure wave struck him, he skidded backwards a couple steps.

He purposefully didnt restore his Soundshield to full strength and took a few hard hits, enough so that he could suffer a bit of an internal injury. As a user of sound based attacks, the Jinxi Patriarch was one of the more uncommon cultivators that used attacks targeting the internal organs. Qi was actually very good at penetrating the outer layers of the body to attack the internal organs, but most people found it far flashier to make giant energy blades, throw fireballs, or any number of other physically destructive techniques.

From the audiences perspective they saw the Jinxi Patriarch looking tired for the first time. They saw the branch head resisting with a defiant look on his face, but they all felt that he was nearing his limits already. The patriarch looked tired, but the branch head was already spitting up blood. After catching his breath for a minute the patriarch stood up straight and a brilliant golden sphere appeared in the sky above him. It glowed brightly like a star, shimmering and hard to look at. Then the golden sphere grew larger and larger, growing from three feet wide to thirty feet wide in just a few seconds. Then there was a loud pop and the bright light exploded, momentarily blinding everyone. When their vision cleared, a gigantic golden cricket appeared standing in front of the Jinxi Patriarch. The thirty foot tall cricket was of a similar color and appearance as Sages Golden Mantis Body, yet it was so much larger.

How could the branch head have a chance against such a monstrously big cricket?

There were also many old timers in the audience that were quick to refute them, You think that crickets big? In the old days, that thing would just be a little baby compared to the Lang Clans Colossal Iron Mantis.

You always say stuff like that! How big was your fish old man?

Such isolated antics were completely outside of Sages perception or attention at this point. Instead he looked up at the giant cricket and then back down to the old man. The Jinxi Patriarch leapt to the side avoiding a trio of sharp roots that shot straight out of the ground like spears. Then a pink gas spread from the root and caught the old man. Seeing the gas, the Jinxi Patriarch held his breath and took a half dozen steps to the side. The arm that the pink gas had touched was already starting to go numb and the old man felt Sages powerful Law energy clinging to him.
