Chapter 665: Changes

The sudden ferocity of his attacks caused the Jinxi Patriarchs features to tighten. There was finally a shred of doubt in his heart. Sage felt a surge of greater Law energy from his foe and knew that he was finally ready to bring out his strongest techniques.

The old man was many millenia old and fighting an orphan who was barely older than a century had been a joke in his eyes. He was using this challenge as an excuse to show off how powerful he was by displaying the techniques of the Jinxi Faction to reinforce that they werent just in charge because of their excellent diplomatic and management skills. It was only at this moment that he finally realized that he had severely underestimated his opponent.

It was also the exact moment that Sage was waiting for. The instant when the old man released more Qi to interact with the laws of the world. The power of laws did not come from within, it was a force that existed outside them. After gaining an understanding of a law, a cultivator could use their own Qi to resonate with the law energy of the world and bring it under their control. The greater the understanding, the greater the law energy they could manipulate.

At that moment the Jinxi Patriarch was reaching for more power, Sage was already ready to strike. He had already seen exactly how the old man would react with his Foresight and he kicked hard to propel himself forward. This time, unlike the others, there was no boom from the stage being shattered. He used Cosmic Traction to apply his force to an empty area of space to conceal his motion, a plan that bought him a fraction of a second more time before the old man noticed his attack. Just as the old man noticed him approaching, many wooden points burst out of the stone stage in a semi-circle behind him. They shot out of the ground from 20 yards away, just outside the range his Spiritual Sense had covered. The roots grew so fast they were like thrown spears, and just as the roots shot out, the sky was suddenly filled with burning seeds. The red lotus seed pods attacked indiscriminately, completely filling the air above the patriarch with burning projectiles to keep the old man grounded.

The Jinxi Patriarch felt the yard-long blades coming towards him, but even if the clones hadnt seemed to work he wasnt flustered. His body lowered down, ducking under the horizontal slashes coming his way and kicking hard at the ground with a foot covered by a golden aura. He shot underneath the energy scissors, aiming at the branch heads now exposed side. The golden aura around his feet had magnified his strength and the aura around his hand made his fingers into claws. Those energy claws struck towards the branch heads midsection, pointing his fingers and aiming to stab into the kids body like a knife to puncture his liver.

With his two arms already spread wide from the missed attack it looked like Sage was helpless, but thats when he opened his own mouth and a massive burst of air shot from him with booming force. The Jinxi Patriarchs air bubble shield burst, but it happened before Sages Stormbreath hit it. The old man instantly reversed his momentum and shot backwards to avoid the air cannon attack. He twisted and rolled to the side to avoid the pressure wave, but then he felt a hard force strike against his chest and then a sudden sharp pain from his back. Before he knew what happened, he saw a blood covered spear emerge from his stomach. He wanted to pull it out, but his body wasnt responding properly. Thats when he noticed the pink gas emitting from that spear and realized his whole body had turned numb.

Just as the Jinxi Patriarchs Nascent Soul flew out of his dying body, a brilliant white flame fell upon him. Sage combined his Divine Breath technique with the First Light and attacked the Nascent Soul before it could get its bearings. Then he leapt forward and one of his golden blades turned a purple color. Sage stabbed the purple blade into the Nascent Soul and it squealed in pain. The sound was the dying scream of an insect, and the patriarchs final attack. Blood dripped from Sages ears, but the Nascent Soul dissipated completely.

The clan leader was dead.
