Chapter 664: Mental Attack
The Jinxi Patriarch truly thought he had the upper hand, sending such a vast amount of energy to assault Sages mind. The thread of will that controlled the golden cricket only then realized that it was mistaken. Upon breaching the gate of the fortress and bashing through a wall, it felt it was a moment away from finally defeating this adversary, but it realized this was only the beginning. It was not a fortress, it was a maze. When the Jinxi Patriarch was just realizing that his mental attack was not the trump card that would win him the battle, his opponent had already made a move.
In the outside world, the seedpods exhausted their fiery red seeds, which meant the thousand small crickets were no longer being interrupted. Without that interruption, he could now attack with full force, but he suddenly didnt want to anymore.
Sage had tricked the old man, luring him into wasting so much time on mental attacks because he was even more confident in his defense against them than he was against sound based attacks. The only thing he was more confident in going up against than mental attacks would be poison! He felt hed be at a disadvantage against an equally ranked mental cultivator, but a mere dabbler like the Jinxi Patriarch? The old mans mental attacks would probably take a week to breach his defenses.
Before the Jinxi Patriarch was able to draw back the thousand small crickets, and the energy they carried, Sage had already leapt over the root fence. Layers of the Soundshield were bursting in front of him as he closed the distance with a high speed dash. Just as before the old man used that strange movement technique to bound into the air. An invisible air bubble moved along with the patriarch and burst apart to give the old man a powerful thrusting force in mid-air. The blade of Sages Golden Mantis Body was dodged once again, but the old man frowned because he realized hed been pushed back closer to the edge of the stage. He started to rush back, but he had to leap back again to avoid a barrage of fiery seeds. The lotus blossoms on the root fence had still been purple during this time and when he tried to make a move they shed their petals and turned red, launching hundreds of burning projectiles at him. His flash of insight proved correct. Sage was already pushing the root fence forward and more Sacred Banyans were sprouting up to further crowd the stage.
Sage dashed back and forth, using his powerful muscles to propel him at high speeds. The Human Seal could lock living things into a human body, taking things that didnt fit the human form. Of course, it also wasnt perfect. It was only as powerful as the crux the seal master who placed it could grasp. By weakening the effect of the seal, he was able to take advantage of the features of his powerful beast body while still maintaining the appearance of a human. That said, the more power he released, the more obviously inhuman he started to become. Right now, to get greater strength, his legs had already formed extra joints and had changed to a chitinous exoskeleton instead of flesh and bone. He was able to get away with anyone noticing because his trousers and shoes concealed his legs quite perfectly.
While Sage was darting from right to left, swinging his blade, the Jinxi Patriarch kept leaping into the air and then darting at a diagonal angle back down to the ground. He shot himself downwards to reduce his hang time in the air so he could leap up once again. The old man had already tried to do the opposite, ascending higher to buy some breathing room, but the newly grown Banyan trees had already flooded the area with cold air. The blue lotuses dropped the ambient temperature of the area to below freezing, and when the patriarch shot into the air, they rapidly changed color and launched burning seeds at him. The limitations of his marvelous movement technique were shown as the air bubble could only be popped once.
So he can do an eight way air dash, but no triple jump.
Without being able to change directions multiple times in mid-air the Jinxi Patriarch used a loud chirp to fight off the projectiles with pressure waves. Sage was impressed by the old mans shrewdness when he saw the patriarch carefully observing the recovery time of those lotus flowers. Once the seed pods released all their projectiles, then new blue flower buds had to bloom all over again. Yet, even if the old man saw the weakness of the lotuses' recovery time, it didnt help him since Sage had already planned for that eventuality. The lotus flowers didnt constantly attack the Jinxi Patriarch, they only attacked when he jumped to a high altitude. Since the flowers were mostly high up in the tree canopy that gave them greater accuracy and also created a ceiling for the old man.
Seeing their Clan Leader so penned in and weathering a rain of attacks, the lower ranking members of the clan in the crowd had all risen to their feet. They were too excited to stay seated any longer. How had things changed so rapidly!
