626. Jumping Off a Cliff / 627. Eliminating the Blue Person

The blue man died before he could even react. His eyes were wide with disbelief, clearly unable to accept that his life had already come to an end.

At that moment, the remaining blue people unleashed an even stronger magic formation. It seemed to incorporate their life force, making it sturdier than the previous one.

Moreover, within the formation’s range, their movement speed increased greatly. Izayoi was fast, but catching up to them was no easy task.

He had to admit, this formation was rather interesting.

Watching the blue people race around within the formation, Izayoi sneered. Then he unleashed Dragon’s Nine Forms, and a dragon shape instantly appeared beneath his feet.

Izayoi swung his dragon tail, sending the blue people flying backward and crashing to the ground.

His strength far exceeded theirs, so defeat was their only fate.

Izayoi walked up to a blue man lying on the ground and kicked him in the chest. The blue man rolled several times before landing in the distance, severely injured and unconscious.

Izayoi continued his slaughter toward the next target.

At that point, the blue people finally realized they were no match for Izayoi and fled into the distance. Izayoi immediately chased after them, attacking without pause.

The blue people were incredibly fast. Even though Izayoi kept pursuing them, he could only close the distance and could not truly catch them.

Even when he occasionally caught up, their energy quickly knocked him away. At most, he could leave a long gash across their backs.

The blue people realized they could not shake Izayoi like this, so they changed direction. Izayoi changed course as well, following them as they circled around.

A deafening boom echoed throughout the entire forest.

Dragon’s Nine Forms truly was powerful. Every strike reduced an entire area to flat ground.

The blue people were beaten into a miserable state, fleeing while dodging Izayoi’s attacks.

Bang! Izayoi’s fists rained down on them. Though the blue people possessed bodies far stronger than ordinary humans, they were helpless against these attacks.

They decided to risk everything. Powerful auras erupted from their bodies as they joined forces to form a massive shockwave. Izayoi was startled when he saw it. He knew that if he took this attack head-on, it could very well kill him.

Once formed, the shockwave shot toward Izayoi. He quickly dodged aside.000

He had no desire to take such a violent attack. Its power was simply too terrifying; even he would be severely injured by it.

Bang! After dodging one attack, Izayoi was forced back several meters. Seeing that their attack had worked, the blue people became ecstatic.

They knew this attack should have severely injured Izayoi, but they had never expected him to be completely unharmed.

Izayoi steadied himself and looked at the excited blue people. He shook his head and said, "Is this all you’ve got? Your attacks are useless against me!" With that, Izayoi charged toward them.

The blue people froze after hearing Izayoi’s words. They all had the illusion that they were merely children playing around, while Izayoi did not take them seriously at all.

They flew into a rage and used that move again. Izayoi had not expected them to be capable of using such a powerful move a second time, so he hurriedly fled into the distance.

Jump Off the Cliff

The blue people continuously unleashed powerful shockwaves. The shockwaves were simply too strong, and Izayoi did not dare confront them head-on. So he kept running. Seeing this, the blue people quickly sent several of their own to intercept Izayoi and prevent his escape.

Looking at those blue people, Izayoi felt greatly troubled. His strength was simply no match for theirs.

If he fought them head-on, they would not fear him. Besides, there were so many of them. If they surrounded and attacked him together, there was no way he could withstand them.

What should I do? Izayoi thought for a moment before deciding to flee.

Since fighting head-on would not work, he could only run. He wanted to escape, but the blue people had no intention of letting him leave and chased after him.

He knew that he could not escape like this. He still had to deal with an even more serious problem.

Then he suddenly spotted a forest in the distance, filled with many trees.

Izayoi sprinted toward it. After using the trees for cover, he finally escaped their encirclement and entered the forest.

The forest was vast. After running for a while, Izayoi realized that he had escaped the blue people’s sight. He assessed his current situation. Though it was extremely dangerous, it was also relatively safe.

What should he do now? Rest first, or find a hidden place to conceal himself?

At that moment, he hesitated. After all, he did not know whether the blue people would pursue him. If they did, they would certainly attack him.

While he hesitated, the blue people caught up and slashed at him with their swords. Izayoi blocked with his own sword, then immediately sprinted away again, fleeing into a patch of grass.

Seeing that he had entered the grass, he felt somewhat reassured.

Whew! He let out a long breath and relaxed.

He had truly been afraid just now. He did not know whether they would kill him.

Now that he had escaped the blue people’s line of sight, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Just then, the blue people surrounded Izayoi from all directions.

Izayoi’s heart leaped into his throat again. He knew this time the trouble would probably be serious.

Izayoi did not dare relax in the slightest. He quickly used teleportation and vanished.

The instant Izayoi disappeared, those people all used teleportation to chase after him. Izayoi’s heart tightened once more.

Could he still evade them this time? If they caught him again, things would surely end terribly for him.

With that thought, Izayoi sped up his escape.

As he neared the depths of the forest, he finally let out a breath of relief. He knew he was temporarily safe. At least for now, the blue people could do nothing to him. He trusted his own abilities and believed he could evade their pursuit.

Just then, those people chased after him again.

Izayoi’s expression turned solemn once more. What should he do now? This situation was different from before. These people were the enemies Izayoi hated most. Once they caught him, he would truly be doomed.

Just as he was trying to think of a solution, a powerful energy suddenly appeared in front of him. A massive energy barrier enveloped him, and then a blue man appeared before him, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

"Your end has come." His voice was cold, and so was his gaze, as if everything was Izayoi’s fault.

"Hmph, I won’t lose." Izayoi stubbornly raised his head. "Even if I have to fight to the very end, I will not lose."

He knew he could not admit defeat now. He did not want to die here, so he had to win this battle. Only then could he ensure his own survival.

"Ha ha!" The blue man laughed maniacally and shook his head. "I advise you to surrender obediently!"

"Heh, do you really think I’ll surrender obediently? You’re making things far too simple!" Izayoi said coldly. He did not take the other man’s words to heart. He did not believe he would lose so easily.

However, confronting them head-on was truly unwise, so he fled again. He saw what seemed to be a tree hollow in a tree in the distance and decided to hide there. With that thought,

he hurried toward the tree and crawled into the hollow.

After entering the tree hollow, he vaguely saw the blue people seeming to move farther away, apparently believing they had not discovered him.

He sighed in relief and muttered, "Good, good. They didn’t find me. If they had, I really wouldn’t have been able to escape."

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Maybe I really can’t escape this disaster."

"Ah…" He could not help shaking his head, but his heart was filled with confidence. As long as he held fast to the will in his heart, he would not yield so easily.

I will absolutely not lose this battle.

He decided to slowly improve his strength first, then kill all those blue people.

Thinking the blue people had long since left, he emerged from the tree hollow. However, what he saw left him stunned.

The blue people, who had supposedly gone far away, had actually returned. They were chasing after him at incredible speed, arriving before the tree hollow in the blink of an eye.

The blue people unleashed another powerful shockwave. Izayoi panicked and slashed with his sword, never expecting to cut the shockwave apart.

Destroy the Blue People

Izayoi had not expected his strength to have become so powerful. Waving the sword in his hand, he pointed it at the blue people and mocked, "Weren’t you so impressive before? Come on, try again."

The blue people continued to unleash shockwaves, but Izayoi cut them apart with a single slash. He released sword energy again, destroying all the shockwaves.

Izayoi continued mocking them. "Ha ha ha! Your attacks are way too weak. You still dare act arrogant in front of me? Get lost already. Stop embarrassing yourselves here."

Hearing Izayoi’s words, everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do. They could only launch more shockwaves.

Yet those attacks were still easily dispelled by Izayoi. They unwillingly continued releasing them, while Izayoi kept attacking without pause.

Another three minutes passed. These people were already panting heavily. By then, Izayoi had rushed in front of them, and they hurriedly raised their swords to block him.

But Izayoi’s sword was sharper and tougher than theirs. Their swords had no way of blocking his attacks.

Izayoi swung his sword again, cutting all their bodies into pieces. His strength was growing more and more formidable.

"This is my strength. I’m far stronger than all of you, so just obediently await your deaths!"

In an instant, his strength rose dramatically. He unleashed streams of sword energy at the blue people, who hurriedly used protective barriers.

But those barriers failed to withstand Izayoi’s attacks. They were torn apart by his sword energy, and the blue people were all sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground.

Knowing they could not fight Izayoi head-on, the blue people fled toward the mountain. Naturally, Izayoi refused to let them go and continued tracking them from behind.

The blue people released sword energy at Izayoi, while Izayoi also sent out sword energy, colliding with theirs.

At that moment, the blue people finally understood what a gap in strength was, what overwhelming superiority was. They knew they could not continue fighting, or they would only face slaughter. So they all turned and fled.

But how could Izayoi allow them to escape? He immediately used Shunpo to chase the blue people. No matter how they fled, they could not shake him off.

Finally, a loud crash rang out as Izayoi smashed a large tree apart with one palm. The tree came crashing down.

Several blue people fell beneath the tree and were pinned firmly under it. Izayoi walked before them and said, "So? Are you convinced now?"

The blue people all nodded. One of them said, "You’re a monster. Your strength is unimaginably powerful. We’re no match for you. You’re far stronger than us."

Izayoi said, "Don’t be so discouraged. I know you’re unwilling to accept this, but this world is just that cruel. If you lack strength, you die."

At that moment, the other blue people quickly attacked Izayoi and rescued those trapped beneath the tree. They continued fleeing toward the mountain peak.

Izayoi used Shunpo again to pursue them.

"Hmph! I refuse to believe I can’t catch you!" Izayoi snorted and increased his speed. He knew the blue people must possess some secret technique or be hiding somewhere, and he needed to find them as quickly as possible.

Before long, he saw the blue people. Upon seeing Izayoi, they hurriedly used concealment techniques to hide. Izayoi also used a concealment technique, and they continued chasing one another like this, neither able to do anything to the other.

As they fled, the blue people cursed Izayoi for being shameless and utterly without dignity. This successfully enraged Izayoi, making him speed up again. He was going to destroy every last one of them!

"Hmph! You all must die here today!" Izayoi roared, accelerating and instantly catching up behind them.

Sword energy condensed around his sword, and he slashed down, splitting one of the blue people apart. His head rolled across the ground.

The remaining few quickly used all sorts of methods to defend themselves. Izayoi swung his sword again, sending streams of sword energy from his hand.

They struck the blue people and destroyed their shields. Their bodies were pierced through by sword energy, and they fell one after another.

Izayoi swung his sword again and cut off another person’s head. Though the remaining blue people were incomparably furious at the sight, they could do nothing. They continued running toward the mountain peak.

As they ran, they reached a cliff. There was no path ahead, while Izayoi had already caught up behind them.

Izayoi pointed at them and mocked, "Keep running! If you’ve got the guts, jump off the cliff!"

When the blue people saw the cliff, their expressions changed. It was deep and steep. If they truly jumped down, their bodies would be utterly destroyed.

But Izayoi had already caught up. He drew his sword and slashed at them. Faced with his attack, the blue people steeled themselves and jumped off the cliff together.

The Giant Bears’ Pursuit

Watching the blue people jump off the cliff, Izayoi frowned. He knew that if he let these guys live, they might attack him again. Thinking of this, he decided to personally check beneath the cliff. He would make a rope and climb down it to see what had become of the blue people.

So he gathered many branches, intending to turn them into rope.

Following the steps he had learned before, he quickly made the branches into rope. After finishing it, he tied the rope to a tree that looked extremely sturdy.

Then he climbed down the cliff along the rope, carefully observing his surroundings as he descended.

In his eyes, everything around him was clearly visible. His ears became sharper as well, allowing him to hear every sound around him.

He looked in that direction and discovered that it was the sound of rocks falling. He could not help sighing in relief. Fortunately, the rocks had not fallen near him, or he would have been in danger.

By then, he had reached the bottom of the cliff. There were barely any plants here. Looking up, he saw a protruding rock along the cliffside, and there seemed to be bloodstains on it.

He knew it should be the blue people’s blood. Following those bloodstains, he should be able to find them.

With that thought, he hurried toward the bloodstains. He quickly caught up to them and followed the trail.

Eventually, he reached the end of the blood trail and found the blue people there. They were all seriously injured.

Izayoi looked at them and mocked, "I told you that you couldn’t escape my grasp. I advise you to surrender obediently!"

"Heh heh heh! Izayoi! I’m telling you, we’ll never surrender!" the blue man leading them snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Izayoi smiled faintly. "Since you refuse to see reason, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

With that, he pushed off the ground with both feet, and his entire body instantly leaped three meters into the air.
