Chapter 674: Honor

Spiritual force wrapped around his body and pulled him to the side. His body crashed to the ground and an instant later he finally shook off the disruption caused by the enemys attack and regained control of his body. He pushed himself up with his hands, then performed a lateral roll to the side, dodging over the next arrow that was coming his way. At this close range he could see the arrow leaving the bow, giving him the chance to track its entire flight path. Even though the arrows could change their trajectory in mid-air, he could now see it starting to turn and adjust accordingly. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

When he could only see the arrows when they were about to hit him, he moved to avoid them, but the enemy seemed to be able to predict how he would dodge and the arrows were already turning towards where he moved. A high speed projectile like an arrow couldnt just completely change its path at any time, but this archer had a way to manipulate the way they moved. It was like a baseball pitcher, throwing balls that flew straight and then suddenly dipped just in front of the plate. That said, complex pitches of that sort had to do with the physics of a sphere moving through the air with different rotational forces applied, while a bow and arrow worked on completely different principles. Sage could only chalk it up to the innumerable strange and marvelous techniques of this world. Either way, when he saw the arrow being launched he could see it tilting in mid-air or starting to twist rapidly. He suddenly had a much easier time avoiding them and so the enemy had brought out a surprise.

Sage recovered after that very close call, and dodged another pair of arrows before he darted behind the next closest tree. With that moment of cover, he performed the Soundshield technique and then took off running for the next tree to use as cover. Just as he left, the tree behind him was blasted into splinters. A section of the tree nearly ten feet tall was blasted out of the tree trunk, the wood chunks covering his back as he fled at high speed. The tree with the floor of a building chopped out of it fell downwards. The mangled upper portion fell rapidly, crashing into the ground and then slowly toppling to the side.

Moving rapidly, Sage used multiple movement techniques, combining the Falling Leaf Steps with Cosmic Traction. He even added an extra push with his Spirit Power and pushed his speed to the limit to avoid the arrows coming towards him. In the distance behind him came the sounds of constant explosions. Each of those arrows carried those array symbols that set off a detonation and the forest in the distance suffered for it.

Jinxi Pos hand fell from his bow so he could smash his own fist against his chest. There was a low thump and he forcibly injected Qi into a part of his body that had been cut off from the rest by the cold. The young master showed his ferocity, smashing his fist against his own body a few more times to disrupt the coldness that had caused his meridians to be blocked in places. Sage had stumbled upon a rudimentary way to combine his two laws and the sudden change had caught Jinxi Po off guard.

Sage was very far from being able to use his laws in unison, but hed found a way to chain them together. The Thermal Law he understood was related to the nature of heat, the way hot becomes cold and cold becomes hot. The motion of atoms and molecules. They collide with other molecules and their greater kinetic energy transfers to those molecules and creates heat. They continue to collide until they have the same amount of energy, creating a thermal equilibrium. Hot things radiate their heat, losing energy while giving it to everything around them until all parts of the system are roughly equal. Or at least that was the general way of things on Earth. It gave him insight into the Thermal Law, but it was far from a thorough understanding. Even so, he saw a connection between the idea of heat changing things from their original state, which also aligned with the Law of Corruption.

When Jinxi Po was rapidly plunged into that area of coldness, Sage enhanced the effect with his Thermal Law, coaxing more heat to leave the mans body. Then, he used the Law of Corruption that was still swirling around the poisonous mist on the ground and turned it to the cold energy in Jinxi Pos body.

Unfortunately, this string of attacks didnt get him the win he was hoping for. After smashing his fist against his own body a few times, Jinxi Po coughed up a mouthful of blood and then seemed to fly backwards, carried upon a large gust of wind. Just like that, the man retreated from Sage who was just about to reach a range close enough to put his mantis blade into effect.

Ahh, who knew the Jinxi were such sore losers. I had taken you for a bunch of schemers, but I didnt realize you were so devoid of honor.
