Chapter 1389

Furious that Feng Jiu Ge means to help Fang Yuan, Wu Yong laughs, inwardly certain of victory over both because he alone holds rank eight cultivation and a rank eight Immortal Gu House. He relishes the challenge, since both opponents carry rank eight battle strength despite only rank seven cultivation. Feng Jiu Ge tells Fang Yuan the life debt is repaid and that he should leave, adding that getting out alive is his own affair, and Fang Yuan reads this as an offer to fight Wu Yong alone. Fang Yuan agrees at once and retreats to a corner. His main attention stays on the battlefield killer move and on breaking air lock with the immortals in his aperture. Wanting a fair contest, Wu Yong stores his trump card, Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building, back into his aperture and faces Feng Jiu Ge with his killer moves alone. ^{ch. 1389}

Wu Yong activates Soft Vajra Wind Chief, its aura concealed to an extreme degree so that neither Fang Yuan nor Feng Jiu Ge senses it coming. Six towering wind figures split off to charge Feng Jiu Ge and Fang Yuan at once. Feng Jiu Ge answers with resonant palm strikes that stop all six and send them reeling back, shocking both onlookers. His sound path dao mark accumulation, it becomes clear, matches a rank eight Gu Immortal’s, something a rank seven should find all but impossible to reach. Watching, Fang Yuan judges himself naturally inferior to Feng Jiu Ge in this respect, since his own rank eight battle strength rests on reverse flow protection seal rather than on dao marks. Fang Yuan can only wonder if this is temporary or his true strength. ^{ch. 1389}

Wu Yong then lashes a wind whip while Feng Jiu Ge fights off both attacks together, matching him evenly for a time and leaving Fang Yuan almost dazed. Rather than anger, Wu Yong grows calmer and voices genuine respect for him. Wu Yong next unleashes Finger Wind Dragon at Feng Jiu Ge. Lacking a rank eight Immortal Gu of his own, Feng Jiu Ge cannot meet it head on, and his red date immortal essence is inferior to Wu Yong’s rank eight white litchi essence. He resolves to make up for the missing core with sheer quantity of blows, retreating while he wears the dragon down with ranged strikes until it dissipates, at heavy cost to himself. Sensing the hidden follow-up chaotic shooting blades stacked onto it, he avoids letting the dragon close and detonate on him. ^{ch. 1389}

This leaves Feng Jiu Ge on the defensive and gives Wu Yong time to prepare a new killer move. Fang Yuan intervenes before it lands, stepping into the dragon’s collision himself. Reverse flow protection seal sends the dragon flying back at Wu Yong, who is still preparing and frowns deeply. Feng Jiu Ge looks at Fang Yuan with new respect at the seal’s power. ^{ch. 1389}
