Chapter 840 - 840 289 Battle 2 in 1_4

Chapter 840: Chapter 289 Battle [2 in 1]_4 Chapter 840: Chapter 289 Battle [2 in 1]_4 Even these four individuals weren’t focused on the battlefield; instead, they concentrated all their mental energy on locking down their own bodies.

This was enough to prove that their true enemies in their hearts were never the Cat Emperor, but rather themselves, the person they had deliberately chosen to ignore all along.

The strategy of the opponents was clear: the leader would fight the Cat Emperor, entangling the Cat Emperor.

The remaining four people locked onto Peng Wanli without taking the initiative to strike, quietly waiting for a change in the situation to occur.

Peng Wanli stood with his hands behind his back, indifferent; he also shouldn’t take the initiative to attack now.

If he did take the initiative, perhaps he could defeat the opponents, but given their combined combat strength, even if he succeeded, there would inevitably be delays,

and there would likely be complications on the side of Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan.

After all, the cultivation levels of the opponents were too high for Feng Yin and his companion, high enough to defeat them with a single move!

“Can the Cat Emperor win?”

Dong Xiaoyan couldn’t help but feel concerned.

Feng Yin frowned and said, “At least he won’t lose.”

In this period of time, the Cat Emperor had consumed a considerable number of medicinal pills, enhancing both his qualifications and cultivation, even altering his bloodline.

Moreover, the Cat Emperor had a piece of Illusory Silkworm silk as a backup, elevating his overall combat power to a higher level.

Now, even if he were to face White Rainbow, victory might be out of reach, yet he would not suffer too terrible a defeat.

Furthermore, since the last fight against White Rainbow, Feng Yin had discussed this issue with the Cat Emperor and devised an unorthodox strategy.

Feng Yin had specially refined several pills containing exceptionally pure Spiritual Power; the main effect of these pills wasn’t to revive or heal injuries, but to provide the user with strong and pure spiritual energy.

According to the Cat Emperor’s own tests, after taking these pills, the duration he could sustain his combat power at its limit increased by an entire half-quarter of an hour compared to ordinary days!

One should not underestimate the time span of half a quarter of an hour; in a fight between masters, victory or defeat can be determined in the blink of an eye, and the time a peak fighter can maintain their full strength is limited. If the Cat Emperor based his planning on his normal endurance and then his actual performance exceeded the enemy’s calculations, it could reverse the situation and turn the tide—it was no trivial matter!

Since the Cat Emperor had three such pills, Feng Yin had the confidence to assert that the Cat Emperor definitely would not lose!

But that was it, he wouldn’t lose, because faced with this Jinmian individual, Feng Yin really did not have the assurance of certain victory.

The person had appeared too mysteriously, every action shrouded in secrecy.

His demeanor and bearing clearly indicated that he was a strong individual among the strong.

For such a powerful individual to engage in such underhanded deeds was surprisingly unexpected, and it would be strange if Feng Yin felt any certainty.

Feng Ying, who understood Feng Yin best, looked lazily nestled in Feng Yin’s embrace, but in reality, his eyes had long been fixed on the fierce battle in the sky.

The pads of his feet were already placed on the buttons of Feng Yin’s chest.

If he detected any abnormalities, he would leap out in an instant.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

The two combatants took to the air in a major battle; the Cat Emperor, less restricted, became more absorbed in fighting. With a casual move, all the winds and clouds turned into blades of wind, which, combined with the long sword, created unpredictable attacks that unfolded in all directions, above and below.

Jinmian, with a sword in hand, seemed as if he had embraced the winds and clouds of the entire sky, the universe within his grasp, and he responded to the Cat Emperor’s dense offense without panic. Far from flustered, he preempted every move, yielding not an inch.

Despite the sky being filled with blades of wind, densely packed beyond imagination, the moment any of them touched the radiance of his sword, they were rendered into nothingness.

Accompanied by a series of thuds, the battle between the two intensified. Judging by the situation, it seemed there was no clear victor between them; in fact, Jinmian appeared to have a slight advantage, holding more than fifty percent of the momentum.

Seeing this scene, both Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan showed expressions of tension on their faces. Dong Xiaoyan hurriedly imbued another surge of Spiritual Power into Feng Yin, clearly wishing for Feng Yin to recover quickly, so that in case of trouble, there would be sufficient means to escape.

Yet, Peng Wanli’s face showed a trace of relaxation.

And just as the battle reached its most critical point, the Cat Emperor’s figure suddenly changed, becoming elusive and unpredictable.

While he still seemed to be engaged in battle up front, he eerily appeared behind Jinmian in an instant.

As residual shadows flickered in front, the real body that appeared behind had already fiercely lunged with a sword strike.

With a soft “pfft,” Jinmian groaned, instantly splitting into dozens of afterimages, roaming the sky. Injured, he dared not continue the entanglement, resorting to exceptional maneuvers to distract and buy time.

However, a stream of fresh blood fell from the sky.

The Cat Emperor’s sword strike had hit its mark!

Jinmian bellowed, “What kind of skill is this?”

He didn’t ask about sword technique but about the skill being used.

The Cat Emperor said indifferently, “In a fight for life and death, why ask so many questions?”

Jinmian snorted coldly and rose with his sword, his assaults becoming even more fierce. The azure light flickered in the sky, filling the heavens and the earth, to the point where the Cat Emperor’s Sword Qi’s white light was almost invisible.

Clearly, after being unexpectedly wounded, Jinmian was genuinely enraged and fighting desperately, giving his all to regain the upper hand.

At the same time, the four people below simultaneously revealed worried and grave expressions.

How long had it been since their leader had fought like this?

Since they had known each other as brothers, it was rare to see him in such an extreme state.

It was supposed to be a simple mission, and yet unexpectedly this time, he was forced into a full-fledged battle.

Even if the opponent were the sovereign of a demon clan, shouldn’t be this difficult to deal with, right?
