Chapter 431: Insight into Divinity
"Feng Wuji... Last time you slipped away, didn't you reflect on it? And you dare to come looking for trouble?"
Gao Xin frowned, feeling both annoyed and pleased, a mix of contradictions.
The annoyance stemmed from this guy disrupting his plans again.
The pleasure came from... Gao Xin previously not finding an ending he particularly liked.
Feng Wuji stirring up the situation as a variable was quite good, as it made Gao Xin's future richer, even if it became harder to see clearly.
Though it wasn't necessarily heading towards a better outcome, such an unknown challenge excited him.
This battle, and all previous arrangements and clashes, he had already foreseen.
It seemed as if he was following a script, playing his role well.
The uncomfortable part was, the script wasn't perfect, for example, he ultimately had to kill Seahorse himself, because Seahorse would definitely avenge the Sea King, and Sea King would certainly die for his family.
There really was no perfect future, so it was better not to know, the more you knew, the less happy you were.
Gao Xin even felt a tremendous sense of emptiness, a loneliness that almost obliterated his humanity.
Though he hadn't seen it, he vaguely felt that the seemingly best path he chose which forced him to kill Seahorse, might be a foreshadowing for the future, ultimately leading to a loss of humanity.
But in fact, he had no choice, as the power of Sea King and Seahorse wasn't something he could handle at will, they were the kind you needed to find an opportunity to take out in one go, or else he would die a senseless death.
Now Feng Wuji suddenly barged in and tore up the script.
This actually relieved Gao Xin internally, though he appeared angry, he was secretly pleased.
"Tai Sui, capturing my people is really impolite of you!" Feng Wuji's voice carried a resonant echo like a music hall.
Gao Xin chuckled: "If you only want to save your comrades, you should seize the chance to attack Death Hills, they're all locked in the dungeon of Bull King Territory."
Feng Wuji's mecha visage was heroic, but he let out a manic laugh: "Ambush? We are both Saints, do you really think so little of me?"
"I defeat you, and you'll obediently release my people."
Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, this guy was quite confident.
Strictly speaking, Feng Wuji was just a top-tier True Dragon, needing to enter caretaker mode to reach Quasi-Dragon King level.
As for the AI combat system, Gao Xin didn't really fear it, he could even create a bug for the opponent.
"Oh? Trade me for your comrades? Yes, that would ensure their absolute safety."
"But, you chose one of the hardest ways."
Gao Xin laughed, Sea King connected with Feng Wuji, and Feng Wuji wanted revenge and to rescue Zhou Lichao and others.
The two hit it off immediately.
However, Feng Wuji should actually head straight to Death Hills to save people, even though Bull King and Wan Kai were there, with Feng Wuji's strength and various miraculous means, rescuing a few at Elephant Level and escaping shouldn't be a problem.
But he refused, choosing instead to face a king, capturing him while exchanging for prisoners, and avenging a previous arrow wound as well.
At this moment, Sea King said loudly: "I'll leave this to you, Holy Seer, trust me, after sending my family away, I'll definitely return to aid you."
Feng Wuji waved arrogantly: "Get out, get out, I don't care if you don't come back."
Sea King smiled, descending from the clouds.
Gao Xin's face changed, a huge slash swept past Sea King, stopping his descent.
The terrifying energy fell into the distant sea, leaving scorching traces in the air.
"Want to leave? Sea King Port will certainly be destroyed today, I say, not even Jesus can save it."
Gao Xin was furious, he had painstakingly set up a trap to capture all at Sea King Port, how could he let them just escape?
Sea King had a backup plan, if he couldn't beat Gao Xin, he'd simply call for reinforcements.
As long as Feng Wuji could hold him off, for those below, Sea King would be invincible, and Tiga couldn't stop him, allowing him to rescue everyone.
"Hey, Tai Sui, your opponent is me."
Feng Wuji blocked Gao Xin, directly unleashing an orange force field!
"You think you can stop me?" Gao Xin sneered, the Demon Blade cut, slicing through the force field!
The Demon Blade was indeed useful, absorbing high energy, cutting down force fields, it was unstoppable and resoundingly sharp.
Besides, he wasn't fighting two at once, Solomon was still on the scene.
"Hehe." However, Feng Wuji tapped the chest of his mecha, and then the metal components unfurled, a high-energy spark shone from his chest, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, resembling iron forging.
Soon, a giant mecha-sized Tang Blade emerged from his chest.
"Not stopping, but blowing up!" Feng Wuji madly slashed.
The knife edge roared, forcibly cleaving a chain of lightning across the sky, the air erupted into a deep gash visible to the naked eye.
Gao Xin clashed head-on, feeling the immense power of the mecha, greater than his Dharma Body in full effort.
However, in close combat, Gao Xin feared no one.
"Sword Array Storm!"
He wasn't going to engage in back-and-forth tests, his eyes sharp, body blurred, transforming into a high-speed slashing top, initiating a combat skill beyond human.
The whole person became an onslaught storm!
Razor-sharp sword shadows, continually striking from beyond comprehension angles, leaving no room for countermeasures, forcing opponents to take it head-on.
Even ordinary people, no matter having practiced fighting skills, during a fight would forget everything, resorting to wild punches with blank minds, clutching and striking chaotically without recalling learned moves.
Against Gao Xin, it was the same for most strong ones.
Their reaction time let them see Gao Xin's maneuvers, but their minds buzz blankly, not knowing how to respond, leading them to misguidedly react out of instinct, unable to step out of their comfort zone.
People with top-notch awareness like Quinn, Sea King, and Seahorse, could still handle the Dark Blade Technique.
