Chapter 662: Crickets
While he hadnt really felt threatened during the course of the fight, Sage was suddenly caught off guard. With Foresight he knew what the old man was going to do with plenty of time to adapt his strategy in order to put on a good show without actually getting into any danger. Only this time, he was suddenly faced with a situation with no way out. Somehow no matter where he attempted to dodge, he only saw himself getting struck by the giant crickets attack. Sage pulled himself up from the ground and realized that hed been thrown through two tree trunks before he had finally come to a stop, skidding near the edge of the Dueling Arena.
That was a close one. Was that old bastard holding back so I wouldnt fall out of the ring?
Putting aside that worrying thought, Sage decided it was time to stop messing around. Hed been letting his opponent have the upper hand so the old man would underestimate him, but now it seems hed underestimate the old man instead. He had almost made a fatal mistake, as it seemed that the Jinxi Patriarch had figured out a way to deal with his Soundshield. Since his defense wasnt flawless anymore, it was time to use the best defense: offense. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
Sage walked over to the closest fallen tree, the trunk of the monster tree had been snapped by the force of his body impacting it. The pain of that injury was all being filtered out by his Pain Demon technique, allowing him to keep a cool head. He placed one hand against the rough stump and used his other to fish out a healing pill. A moment later, hundreds of roots sprung out from the ground all around the Jinxi Patriarch. They started to weave together to form a lattice-like fence. Then the ends of the roots curled back down and extended towards the old man. At the same time, all of the undamaged trees that bordered the still intact portion of the stage suddenly sprouted flower buds.
After the attack struck those inordinately tough purple lotuses and then was filtered through the root fence it had lost much of its power. By the time it reached Sage, his Soundshield easily blocked it. The trees in the center maintained their defensive formation, while Sage used the Crown Cover technique to accelerate the growth of more leaves. Even if they didnt do much against attacks, the leaves still did a very good job at obscuring the Jinxi Patriarchs vision. The fence of roots created a semi-circle around the undamaged quarter of the stage to restrict the space that the old man could fight in. The closest trees looked like theyd bent over at the waist to reinforce the wall. The trees in the second row didnt move so drastically, but their purple lotus blossoms started to change to a lighter color.
The Jinxi Patriarch was a powerful cultivator, so even the sub-zero temperature of the area he was in didnt cause him much trouble. On the other hand, he was not liking how this challenger had boxed him in and had even started to hide from him. He had injured the branch head with his earlier attack, but it had also knocked him out of the range of his strongest Spirit Sense. After his mental attack failed earlier, he wasnt foolish enough to weaken his Spirit Sense to expand its radius. The upstart had a defensive mental technique so he was worried he also had an offensive mental technique. Thats why he wasnt going to let the kid strike his weakened Spirit Sense.
Yet, even with all these layers of preparation, the Jinxi Patriarch was a wily old fox. It would be absurd to think that with someone as old as he was he wouldnt have a way to deal with somebody trying to hide from him. He formed a few handseals and his lips changed shape, altering the sounds he was releasing. The giant golden cricket suddenly shimmered with bright light and then exploded into thousands of tiny glowing lights. These small motes of light dimmed and their edges resolved, shaping into many small crickets. They looked just like the giant golden cricket, except each was only the size of a finger. Then this swarm of crickets flew into the air on two pairs of wings. They spread into the air, adding a sea of glowing golden lights above the canopy cover of the immense trees.
From a distance they looked much like the glowing lights of fireflies, adding another layer to this strangely otherworldly view. Giant trees rising from a sea of clouds, covered with a soft pink aura and purple lotus flower blossoms. The picturesque night had now gained swirling clouds of frosty mist and tiny glowing lights flying over and through it. It was almost like a sea of faeries had been born from purple lotuses, releasing snowflakes in their wake.
