“Abnormal.” Yue Yang could not help but thought of this word in his heart.
However, for Yue Yang who had undergone the beautiful girl’s special training regimen for a long time in the realm of dreams, he was definitely not an idiot who would resign himself to death the moment he saw a strong opponent.
Before the Marquis of Zhi Jin’s other fist collided forcefully with a loud ‘boom’, Yue Yang executed the silent summon which he had learnt from Xiao Wen Li. It was the silent summon that he had trained hard in and succeeded. His Silver Grimoire floated into appearance, and its protective shield rose up with an irresistible speed, repelling the Marquis of Zi Jin away. Yue Yang saw that the protective shield was slightly fluctuating from the aftereffects of the Marquis of Zhi Jin’s powerful fist. Although he was aghast, he heaved a sigh of relief silently at the same time. Luckily, this Marquis of Zhi Jin was not as overpowering as the Demon King Ha Xin. He had no means to smash the protective shield… If it was a punch or a finger thrust from Demon King Ha Xin instead, his protective shield would probably be unable to stand the impact. Yue Yang would definitely have a headache then.
At that time, the Halo Shield from Xiao Wen Li’s Diamond Grimoire was also not able to withstand a furious attack from Demon King Ha Xin’s finger.
However, this time, it seemed that even though the Marquis of Zhi Jin was an expert, he really wasn’t entirely unbeatable.
The first thing that Yue Yang did was to increase the number of Giant Phantom Shadows on his body. His strength, that had suddenly became a hundred times greater, exploded at that instant, enabling Yue Yang to completely recover his confidence to compete with the other party.
He did not use the Teleportation Scroll to leave. Instead, he started to compose himself and draw on his Qi, readying himself for a major confrontation with the Marquis of Zi Jin… As for the Marquis of Zi Jin who was floating down slowly from the sky, a surprised look flashed across his face for a second. He did not expect that the young-aged Yue Yang actually knew how to instantly summon a grimoire. He felt that if the protective shield of the grimoire had not blocked his punch, this brat would have already suffered from fractured bones, severed tendons and crushed internal organs.
What surprised him even more was that this fellow did not take advantage of the situation and run away, but instead summoned his beast, looking as if he wanted to fight him.
Could it be that he really had that much confidence?
“You’re playing the summoning card? I’ll entertain you.” Marquis of Zhi Jin summoned a Platinum Grimoire, flipping a few pages at will, looking as if he was choosing a beast. In the end, he chose one carelessly, and extended his hand to summon it.
A freakish dog-like animal with a human body, ox legs, and bat wings was summoned. It looked extremely ugly.
However, it seemed to have a little intelligence. It knew how to use a giant sword as its weapon and was also wearing a set of blue battle armour.
Its red eyes flickered with bloodthirst. When it was summoned, it immediately knelt in front of Marquis of Zhi Jin, as if offering its most respectful loyalty to its master.
Looking at it, Yue Yang discovered that this monster’s level was Silver-ranked Level Six. He was slightly pleased. It looked like this the Marquis of Zi Jin had not seen through his capabilities yet. Under the protection of [Counterfeit], enemies would always inaccurately estimate and also grossly underestimate his power. This is because they did not believe that such a young person like him would be an [Innate] Ranker, their line of thought was easily limited by reality.
They would definitely not expect that he was a guy who travelled dimensions and hence an exception…
“Come, what does a Monkey of Zi Jin even count as? Other than the Great-sage Sun, that monkey, other monkeys are just transient beings.” Yue Yang put away his Silver Grimoire and raised his Hui Jin Magic Blade as he walked over.
(TLN: Great-sage Sun is Sun Wu Kong, the monkey from Journey to the West)
