Just as number two called out loudly to his companion, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, during his moment of pride. A scary thought suddenly streaked through his mind.
Except, at this distance, it was too late for him to make any sort of reaction in this critical moment.
Pfft!
The moment that cold light lit up in his eyes, it had already sunk into his throat!
Layered Feather Throwing Daggers!
Jiang Chen had taken one of his hits in order to turn back and return the favor!
Although this strike wasn’t an attack that encompassed the mysteries of “Moonshatter Flying Daggers”, it was the basic attack of the technique. Its strength was astounding as it skipped a level to kill with its attack, making it impossible to guard against!
One had to say, Jiang Chen had taken such a risky move out of resignation.
A bold plan, resolute execution, and the slightest chance of assurance had to accompany this unerring strike of throwing dagger technique!
A perfect knife was the satisfactory conclusion to this time’s daring plan.
The eyes of number two bugged out like those of a dead fish. His face was filled with incredulity as he grabbed his throat, emitting raspy, hoarse sounds but unable to ever speak a single word again.
Another true qi master once again fell down.
Jiang Chen had no time to spare for retrieving his throwing dagger. He didn’t even pause as his body dashed away and once again sank into the piles of grotesque rock shapes.
It was now one on one!
The boss of his opponents was adept with the dao of bow and arrow.
And he, Jiang Chen was also versed in the technique of throwing daggers!
Long ranged attacks versus long ranged attacks. Without the existence of helpers, the pressure on Jiang Chen immediately decreased by quite a bit.
Except, the original bit of injuries he had suffered had worsened after taking the other’s slash.
His stomach and lungs roiled like overturning rivers and seas, and he wanted to throw up several times.
“This killer is indeed professionally trained. If I had hesitated even a moment just now, or been briefly entangled by number two, then the person lying down now would likely be me.”
Close quarters combat combined with long range attacks… This type of combination was indeed the most frightening. Jiang Chen had taken a few turns on the edge of life and death, but his emotions had in fact become more and more steadfast and persevering.
Jiang Chen circulated his true qi after swallowing a Heavenly Karma Pill, dispersing the medicinal effects into his various meridians. After taking two hits in a row, it was a good thing that he had the soft armor protecting him, otherwise he wouldn’t even have the chance to take the pills right now.
At this moment, the stubborn and headstrong face of Princess Gouyu suddenly flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind. He thought that if it wasn’t for her thoughtful considerations, this Boundless Catacombs would probably have become the place where he died unavenged.
“At the end of the day, it’s that my strength isn’t enough. If I was the level of a true qi master, and employed various methods, how would I be in such a difficult position that I’d have to expend so much effort with this duo?”
Hidden in the darkness, Jiang Chen once again realized that the insufficiency of absolute power would bind both his hands and feet when faced with such a situation.
