Chapter 1281: The Frightening Wu Yuan (1)
"It's Wu Yuan.”
"I sensed that we were approaching him earlier; the heavy distortions in spacetime were unmistakable. Here he comes."
True Saint Mo Xiong and True Saint Kong Zhu watched with growing dread as Wu Yuan streaked toward them like a bolt of lightning. Panic flickered in their eyes.
In truth, neither of them were weak; both ranked among the top 300 of the True Saint Rankings. True Saint Mo Xiong was a Full True Saint. True Saint Kong Zhu, though slightly less powerful, excelled in physical defense and movement techniques, making him extraordinarily difficult to kill.
These strengths had fueled their courage to charge boldly into the fray. But things had not gone according to plan. They had intended to join the collective siege against Wu Yuan. Instead, they had encountered him first, alone and vulnerable.
To flee meant more than losing face; it meant surrendering all hope of claiming the Chaos Jade Crystal. For relatively weak True Saints like them, keeping up with the Crystal was essential. Once they fell behind, their chances evaporated completely.
"Let's fight with everything we have," Mo Xiong decided, resolution hardening his features.
Kong Zhu nodded. "Fighting for our lives is fighting against destiny itself. At worst, we die and await resurrection."
In that instant, their fighting spirits surged like twin infernos.
True Saints might possess great power, but they remained beings of emotion—they laughed in joy, raged in anger, and wept in sorrow like any mortal. What separated them was their unbreakable will. Once committed, they would hold their course until death itself.
Whoosh! True Saint Mo Xiong swept his hand through the air, and nine massive arms manifested from his body, generating a vast swirling torrent. This massive vortex surged toward Wu Yuan.
"Divine Light," intoned True Saint Kong Zhu. Countless streams of brilliant light erupted around him, subtly warping spacetime. Over a thousand identical silhouettes blossomed from his form, making it impossible to distinguish the true body from the clones.
