Chapter 309: Chapter 106: Extreme Maneuvers—Immortal Blocks the Way

Xiao Jie stared intently at the cave entrance above his head, pondering ways to get through.

The position of this entrance was indeed a bit awkward, and even with high Qinggong abilities, it was difficult to jump up there.

How about cutting down trees to build a wooden pile?

No, that wouldn’t work; the amount of wood needed was too much, nowhere near enough, and without knowing any construction skills, he could only stack blindly, and even if he wore down his blade’s durability, he wouldn’t be able to gather enough wood.

It was a pity that he didn’t know any mechanical techniques or carpentry; it seemed like the craftsmen’s skills included blueprints for making cloud ladders...

Or should he try chiseling footholds into the cliff wall with his saber?

Xiao Jie glanced at the rock face and felt it was a bit unrealistic, but he couldn’t help trying.

He grasped the Yanyue Great Saber and hacked at the cliff.

Clang! The blade was deflected immediately.

Charging Heavy Strike!

Clang!

System Notification: Your weapon’s durability -3.

Xiao Jie stepped back a distance.

Dragging Blade Slash!

[Dragging Blade Slash: Drag your weapon along the ground, continually accumulating the force of the blade, enhancing the damage of your next ordinary attack, up to 300% weapon damage.]

This skill was somewhat like One Cut, Two Pieces, also dealing 300% weapon damage, but required a longer charging time, and was suitable for long handled blades.

A slash was delivered—clang!

System Notification: Your weapon’s durability -5.

Looking at the rock wall again, there was not the slightest sign of damage.

Damn, this clearly wasn’t going to work.

This was going to be troublesome.

Xiao Jie opened his skill list, flipping through it desperately, hoping to find a solution. The more he looked, the more disappointed he became. Aside from Mountain Climbing Skill and Flying Cloud Chasing Moon, he really couldn’t find any other skill that could solve the current situation.

Mountain Climbing Skill couldn’t be used, Flying Cloud Chasing Moon wasn’t high enough. Could Phantom Traceless possibly flash upwards?

No... even combining Flying Cloud Chasing Moon with Phantom Traceless, the distance was still insufficient. Phantom Traceless could only flash ten steps at a time, and adding his own Qinggong, he could reach a height of about thirty meters, but the cave entrance was at least forty-five meters high.

Xiao Jie looked at the cliff before him with no solution at hand, but he was not discouraged; instead, he brainstormed even more fiercely.

The game’s physics effects were very powerful, meaning that with the right manipulation, one could pull off many clever moves.

What if he shot a few arrows into the cliff and then leapt onto the arrows to use them as footholds?

But since even a saber couldn’t dent the wall, shooting arrows, he feared...

Although he thought this, Xiao Jie still drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming between the base of the mountain and the cave entrance, and fired an arrow.

Clang! The arrow was instantly deflected away.

Indeed, it still wouldn’t work, and even if the arrows could be shot into the rock wall, Xiao Jie was doubtful that they wouldn’t simply break if he stepped on them.

After several more arrows were shot, and not a single mark was left on the cliff; without exception, they all bounced off.

Watching the arrows spin and fall in the air, Xiao Jie mused that it would be nice if he could stop the arrows in midair—wait a minute, stop in midair!

A burst of spiritual light flashed through Xiao Jie’s mind as he recalled the time when he fought Yinlingzi, who had struck him head on. During that fight, he used a Big Move to immobilize Yinlingzi while Little White Dragon took the opportunity to shoot several arrows; those arrows did indeed stop in midair!

Moreover, theoretically under time stasis, an arrow hovering within the Time Stasis Domain would be invincible. If his operation was good enough, fast enough in reaction, maybe those five seconds would be enough time for another jump.

The more Xiao Jie thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. Although it seemed like a stretch, it was the only solution he could think of at the moment.

But this maneuver was indeed quite difficult.

He had to immobilize the arrow in the most appropriate position, and there was no room for error. Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow, the secret technique, had a one-hour cooldown. With only a few hours left until dark, he needed to hurry.

Xiao Jie went over the process and timing of the combination of moves in his mind repeatedly while moving to find the right distance.

Finally, he stopped fifteen meters away from the rock wall.

This should do it.

Xiao Jie drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at a point more than twenty meters above the ground, and fired.

Then immediately, he employed his Qinggong—Flying Cloud Chasing Moon!

He soared into the air, and before he reached the spot, the arrow had already struck the wall and started falling.

No good, miscalculation;

He needed enough lead time, and his suspending height had to overlap with the arrow’s falling position.

Jumping to a point over twenty meters high would take about 2.3 seconds, but the arrow would fall faster, so—

Xiao Jie adjusted the arrow’s falling point to around fifty meters.

He fired an arrow—Flying Cloud Chasing Moon!

As he reached about twenty meters, the arrow had already fallen to the ground.

This time was better; the closest distance between him and the arrow was only five meters, but it was still far from the entrance...

The key was to ensure the arrow stayed horizontal in the air. If it were vertical, it probably couldn’t serve as a foothold.

Xiao Jie continued to organize his thoughts, calculating over and over in his mind.

Once again, he fired an arrow—Flying Cloud Chasing Moon!

Clang, the arrow struck the rock wall, spun around, and was deflected backward, and Xiao Jie activated the third phase of Flying Cloud Chasing Moon—Moon Chasing.

He surged forward in a dash, and mid-air he saw the arrow had already fallen before him—now was the time!

Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow!

Xiao Jie suddenly initiated the Big Move mid-air, and everything within ten steps around him froze in an instant, including the arrow, of course.

Xiao Jie canceled the ’Yan Hang’ stance and somersaulted neatly onto the shaft of the arrow.
