In Jiang Wang's view, an opponent like Ao Huangzhong was too terrifying, even more dangerous than Yu Guangyuan.
Yu Guangyuan was violent and cruel, and although his talent was high, if he couldn't prove the Dao of an Emperor Lord, he would only be a fleeting force of evil.
Ao Huangzhong was the kind of sea race who would truly take the current world as a chessboard, an existence qualified to become a player. If he were to advance to True King, or even Emperor Lord, he would absolutely be a great trouble for the human race.
That man's heavenly pride is my great bandit!
But if asked how much confidence he had in killing Ao Huangzhong, Jiang Wang had not a bit in his heart. Because the Maze World was such a special place, with human and sea race forces intertwined, and many powerful individuals participating, capable of changing the direction of this confrontation at any time.
The most important point was that Ao Huangzhong had already discovered he was being tracked, but was temporarily unable to find that one point of 'dust'. This left too much room for him to react.
In the vast Maze World, Jiang Wang insisted on pursuing and killing, but he only did what he could.
Consider it a success if achieved, and a success even if not.
The thorn boat crossed the boundary river, and he sat upright.
The rapidly passing airflow almost formed a white tail. Huge amounts of elemental energy gathered towards Jiang Wang. The starlight divine dragon rising above the Nourishing Spirit Hall bared its fangs and brandished its claws, swallowing and spitting out massive amounts of Dao Yuan.
A strong person shoulder to shoulder with gods, even just adjusting their breath, was enough to change heaven and earth.
His pursuit and killing of Ao Huangzhong lacked anything particularly noteworthy. No matter how Ao Huangzhong rushed left and dodged right, employing various maneuvers, he just hung far behind. There was no encircling or blocking, no tricks at all, just relying on that one point that didn't give Ao Huangzhong any respite. It was a strategy of consuming to death through relentless pursuit.
He was very experienced in shaking off pursuit, and naturally also understood how to prevent an opponent from shaking him off. He didn't take any of the baits Ao Huangzhong threw out. He just followed the induction of the mind dust, unhurried and unperturbed, continuously maintaining pressure.
Sitting on the thorn boat, with a Yuan Stone in his left hand and a Qi Blood pill in his right, he recovered quite happily, and occasionally practiced two hands of Dao techniques. On the other side, Ao Huangzhong, like the general of a defeated army fleeing alone, couldn't even bring a single sea beast with him, and didn't even have a moment to catch his breath, so he could only exhaust his schemes and flee everywhere.
If this weren't the Maze World, and there weren't so many potential factors that could influence the battle, Ao Huangzhong would almost certainly die.
It's a pity that things in the world often don't go as planned.
This was already the thirteenth hour of Jiang Wang's pursuit of Ao Huangzhong, and he had crossed the third boundary river. He set a bottom line in his heart: if he pursued to the fourth boundary river and still didn't find an opportunity to capture and kill Ao Huangzhong, he would immediately turn the boat around.
Ao Huangzhong's tenacity and depth were far beyond what those brief materials could convey. He had laid numerous traps along the way, constantly struggling without stopping for a moment.
Further pursuit would increase his own danger too much, which wasn't worth the loss. At a certain moment, his red-gold pupils suddenly opened.
In the induction of the mind dust, Ao Huangzhong was no longer moving!
Jiang Wang was not surprised, but instead doubled his vigilance. The thorn boat continued to advance rapidly in the existing direction, while he flipped himself over and fell to the back of the boat, supporting the stern with his hand, hiding in the dim light. The Red Makeup Mirror projected a mirror image, still in a green robe with a sword hanging, sitting upright in front of the rudder.
Experts compete in an instant. No matter who came to attack this mirror image or this thorn boat, they would lose the first move to Jiang Wang.
After half a quarter of an hour, Ao Huangzhong's figure still did not appear in his vision. The immortal mind within the Nourishing Spirit Hall also no longer showed Ao Huangzhong's appearance.
The mind dust had been cracked!
Jiang Wang was not surprised. From ancient times to the present, there was no technique in the world that could not be cracked. Therefore, it was necessary to continuously update and iterate, which was why the Qi country invested so many resources in the technique institute every year.
A long time had passed since Ao Huangzhong detected that his trail was locked. It had taken him this long to complete the 'cleansing', which was enough to show the power of the mind dust.
But the problem was...
Did Ao Huangzhong really need so much time to solve the mind dust?
Was there some plot behind him shaking off the tracking at this exact moment? Jiang Wang's figure sank three points deeper as a result.
As the thorn boat crashed through the flowing wind, those complex thoughts also temporarily subsided.
Even having lost the induction of the mind dust, he still precisely captured
Ao Huangzhong's escape route. Ao Huangzhong, looking tense, appeared in his vision!
The Qian Yang Red Pupils saw clearly that Ao Huangzhong at this moment was already exhausted of blood and weak in energy. That feeling of weakness from bearing immense pressure and consuming both spirit and flesh for a long time was fundamentally undeniable.
Being able to torment Ao Huangzhong to this state, this pursuit and killing was undoubtedly successful.
But Jiang Wang was even more certain that Ao Huangzhong must have some plot at this moment.
However, the time when Ao Huangzhong had a plot was also the time when he had to expose his vital parts!
I am willing to pick the enemy's skull with the tip of my knife!
Jiang Wang, clinging to the stern of the boat, gathered his red-gold eyes and went straight to capture Ao Huangzhong's line of sight. Ao Huangzhong, however, was like an old man whose oil lamp had dried up, hunched over and falling backward, shattering into a stream of flowing light illusions.
The landing point of this flag disk was limited to the Nine Illusion Flags themselves.
Along this road of pursuit and killing, he had never relaxed for a moment, and he didn't know when Ao Huangzhong had transferred the Nine Illusion Flags without a trace.
But Jiang Wang clearly noticed that at the moment Ao Huangzhong disappeared, the Qian Long Disk in his hand had completely dimmed down, and its spirit breath had become silent.
The 'Qian Long Nine Illusion Great Shift Disk' that Ao Huangzhong relied on to flee everywhere had exhausted its source energy!
Jiang Wang turned his body without any hesitation, pushing the thorn boat with his palm to make it continue traveling at high speed in the same direction.
He then crossed over the thorn boat and transformed into a startling rainbow, rumbling loudly across this realm!
According to the finger map, this was the Xin Chou realm domain, where human and sea race forces were considered evenly matched. However, Ao Huangzhong and Jiang Wang had maintained a tacit understanding during their pursuit and escape, not alerting the forces in this realm. This was because ordinary level powers were fundamentally unable to interfere with the outcome of a battle between strong people like them. Stirring up unnecessary waves was not beautiful.
At this moment, Jiang Wang didn't care about alerting anyone at all. No one in this realm could stand against him, no general could block him!
At the fastest speed, under the gaze of many sea and human race warriors, he clamored light and clamored shadow from one boundary river in the Xin Chou realm domain to another.
Indeed, there was no obstruction.
And he just saw Ao Huangzhong's tired body leaping into the air, leaping into the mist on the other side of the boundary river!
Jiang Wang's body, rushing to this point, suddenly stopped.
He was very certain that Ao Huangzhong was truly weak. He believed that in a life-and-death struggle in such a state, Ao Huangzhong wouldn't last more than three exchanges. As long as he pursued, crossed the boundary river, this pursuit and killing that had lasted for more than ten hours could be perfectly concluded.
But this was already the fourth boundary river. The red line he had drawn, he must obey.
Jiang Wang turned around without hesitation, leaving with the same resolve as when he came. This boundary river was one of several common types in the Maze World, belonging to those where neither bank could be seen, both shrouded in mist. The scenery on the opposite side could only be known after crossing the river.
If wind mistakenly entered the boundary river, it would immediately be shattered by the stirring rules. However, within the shattered colorful light, new flowing wind would also appear, and could inadvertently sweep over to the opposite side.
Hoo~ This wisp of wind was blown into pieces.
Shattered under Ao Huangzhong's military boots.
Ao Huangzhong, almost out of oil, just stood on this side of the boundary river, stood on the shore, looking remotely at the mist on the other side, not saying a word. Behind him were teams of silent sea race warriors, a black mass like mountains and seas!
Resources were scarce in the Maze World, and armed soldiers were hard to come by, yet these sturdy sea race warriors each wore armor and held spears!
This was the strong army trained by Ao Huangzhong himself, which had grown with Ao Huangzhong to this point, named 'Conquer World'. If this army had been in the Ding Mao realm domain, he wouldn't have lost that battle at all. Let alone a true successor of the Legalist school, even another Champion Marquis came, he was confident of winning.
It was a pity that at that time he was self-conceited as a general and wanted to catch Jiang Wang off guard, so he chose to go to the aid alone, and actually almost got himself killed!
Facing Jiang Wang's pursuit to the heavens and underworld, while struggling to preserve his life, he had actually quietly summoned his亲 army. He was even able to precisely time his physical state, and at the last moment when he was almost exhausted, use his body as bait to lure Jiang Wang in.
Being able to restrain lust, wealth, and passion was nothing special. Which one of those who had achieved success and fame as generals didn't understand some form of restraint?
Now, great merit was close at hand, and bitter efforts were about to pay off!
What kind of cold-blooded person was
able to resist this kind of temptation? Ao Huangzhong deeply understood the weaknesses of human nature, or rather, he deeply understood the unavoidable various original desires of intelligent beings. So-called anticipating the enemy first, calculating these was precisely it.
But he really still didn't understand Jiang Wang well enough.
He deployed his troops on this shore, waiting for a full half a quarter of an hour, but never waited for that figure to cross the river.
Even with his quite outstanding etiquette in the sea race camp, he couldn't help but spit out a curse: "This guy is too inhuman! He pursued me all day and night, used up all means, and at the last moment he could still say go then go?!"
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" The general behind him asked for instructions: "Should we lay a crystal bridge and kill our way to the opposite shore?"
"What's the use of killing over?" Ao Huangzhong grabbed a piece of Yuan Stone and began to recover: "We can't kill him.
"Then is it just like this?" the general behind him asked.
"Count? Cannot count." Ao Huangzhong said: "I don't mind him pursuing and killing me, but if this child doesn't die, he will become another Jiang Mengxiong one day..." The general behind him couldn't help but raise his eyes, staring forcefully at the mist, as if he could thereby see the person on the opposite shore!
As Ao Huangzhong's direct subordinate general, he understood the weight of Ao Huangzhong's words.
Jiang Mengxiong personally established Jieming Island. From then on, the Qi country bore the greatest pressure from the Cang Sea, and also gave the Cang Sea the greatest pressure. Jiang Mengxiong once deeply entered the Cang Sea and killed an Emperor Lord with his fist! Jiang Mengxiong's fierce reputation on the sea race side was greater than when he was in the human race.
The dread that Ao Huangzhong's evaluation showed towards Jiang Wang was simply inexpressible!
"Then..." The general swallowed his saliva: "What do we want to do?"
"Everyone knows why I, Ao Huangzhong, could command twenty thousand elite troops as soon as I debuted and become the first military commander of this generation to sit in one side, all relying on my efforts and talent." Ao Huangzhong said slowly: "As well as my military strategy that is famous in the Cang Sea and stunning in talent. At that time, they just looked at the name and let me take charge."
The general behind him was stunned for a moment, then realized which piece Ao Huangzhong was talking about. He unconsciously nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes! Your Highness, that piece truly... truly an eternally famous piece, it will be passed down forever!"
A deputy general not far away heard the conversation and quickly spurred his horse to rush over and flatter: "That piece 'Ten Games of Military Chess in Discussion with Emperor Lord Zhong Xi', this general still keeps it by his bedside and worships it repeatedly!"
Ao Huangzhong didn't mind and laughed heartily. After laughing, a trace of ruthlessness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
If he didn't bring out his old ancestor now, when would he?
Born into an Emperor Lord's family was also a rare ability. How could he not make good use of it?
Jiang Qingyang, ah Jiang Qingyang, you were right! Why trouble the me of tomorrow?
Compete in military strategy, compete in cultivation, compete in pursuit and escape, and then compete in background! Let's see which one can survive in this confounding world today!
Jiang Wang didn't know what was on the other side of the river.
He just knew that he was not invincible. His military force couldn't cover everything, and his wisdom couldn't calculate exhausted ghosts and gods.
He understood awe!
Ao Huangzhong, who could be called a famous general in such a cruel battlefield as the Maze World, could absolutely not be lightly disregarded by him.
Within the red line he had drawn, he could exhaust his full strength to strive for that one chance to kill the strong enemy. Once the red line was reached, he would immediately turn around. He wouldn't turn back even if mountains collapsed and seas roared.
Both the human and sea races in this realm domain appeared cautious, but Jiang Wang didn't care. He found his thorn boat and then left the void.
Since his determination was already set, there was no need to linger. Many things in the world are bitter efforts without gain.
The distant road had many winds and rains. For every failure, Jiang Wang at most asked himself one question: did he exert his best effort.
The thorn boat still flew at high speed, and the mirror image still sat in the front cabin. He was still hiding in the dim light expounded by the Calamity Fight Seal, one hand attached to the stern of the boat. He had given up on pursuing and killing Ao Huangzhong, but perhaps Ao Huangzhong still had ideas about him. In a place like the Maze World, being cautious was always a good thing.
Then, with such a posture, he successively crossed two boundary rivers.
Before the high-speed flying thorn boat, large areas of elemental energy ripples suddenly rose, vaguely resembling an elemental energy sea.
This calm
return journey without waves was also as colorful as the boundary river behind it.
Jiang Wang, clinging to the back of the thorn boat, quietly pressed his sword.
But he saw the ripples expand, like a water mirror being poked into pieces.
A tall and plump mature figure then walked out of these ripples. Her hair was coiled in a cloud bun, her clothes shone with the splendor of the East Sea, her eyebrows were distant and her eyes moist... exactly like a beauty emerging from a bath!
She must have just experienced a fierce battle. A wisp of blood qi scattered outside her body, faintly roaring with rivers and seas.
Her power was self-evident. Fortunately, she was human, not sea race. Jiang Wang lowered his eyes and dared not look further, holding his breath and lowering his voice, wanting to shift the direction of the thorn boat. This female's gaze, however, effortlessly shone upon his true body. "I have only seen boats carrying people, never people carrying boats! Strange and weird!" This female said: "Boy, report your name!"
The thorn boat did not move.
The mirror image sitting in the front cabin also disappeared.
Looking at all the nearby sea islands, there were not many strong people left who could give Jiang Wang a sense of pressure.
And a female True Person who was this powerful could only be Qin Zhen, if not Qi Xiao.
Among the four Pacifying Sea elders of Fishing Sea Tower, she ranked second, only second to True Person Chong Guang!
Jiang Wang felt quite unlucky.
His knowledge of Qin Zhen was limited to the relevant materials collected by Jieming Island. Besides that, only Li Longchuan had initially told him that Elder Qin Zhen had an extremely heavy killing nature when she was young...
Although it was said that in the Maze World, the human race belonged to the same front.
But the discord between Fishing Sea Tower and Jieming Island had never stopped.
What's more, he, Jiang so-and-so, had come to the Maze World before and even gone to Tianya Terrace to show off his military prowess once, calling out names from old to young, fiercely striking at Fishing Sea Tower's momentum... Meeting a high-level member of Fishing Sea Tower in the wilderness by chance, and one with such a bad temper, destroying corpses and traces was impossible, but couldn't he be casually knocked here and there, with no village in front or shop behind?
A dignified True Person, even if she just flicked his forehead, it would hurt! Wait, that's not right.
Jiang Wang suddenly reacted.
Elder Qin Zhen was a contemporary True Person, there was no reason for her to pretend to be stupid in front of a junior. Since she asked him to report his name, for whatever reason, it was clear that she truly didn't recognize Jiang Wuan, the State Marquis of Great Qi!
At the moment, he leaped up from the stern of the boat and bowed very politely: "I have seen True Person Qin. Below is... Li Longchuan!"
I, Li Longchuan, haven't gone to Tianya Terrace to cause trouble! I'm often practicing arrows at the Red Sleeves Addict in Linzi, and I rarely go out to sea!
Qin Zhen, however, was not surprised that she was recognized, or rather, in this Maze World, it would be strange if she weren't recognized. She only sized up Jiang Wang from head to toe: "From the Li family of Stone Gate?"
Jiang Wang raised his head and straightened his back, saying with honor: "Exactly, from the Marquis of Crush City's residence."
"You are quite different in appearance from your sister," Qin Zhen said casually, and then very naturally sat into the boat cabin: "Give me a ride!"
