Chapter 690 - 593: Watching and Waiting
As soon as Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal confirmed their target, a fish appeared before Zhao Yi, its light flickering. Zhao Yi immediately closed his eyes, and purple aura burst out from him. The powerful aura blasted away all the monstrous fish that followed, sending them crashing into the water and creating huge waves.
When Zhao Yi opened his eyes, he found that the kelp was still using its agility to catapult the monstrous fish from the water into the air like a trebuchet.
"Nine Dragon Jade Seal!"
A Water Dragon appeared in mid-air, and its long Dragon’s Roar echoed across the entire lake. Zhao Yi also let out a long howl, the two powerful sounds merged, shocking all the monstrous fish into submission, which greatly surprised the hidden old fisherwoman.
"I didn’t expect this boy to have such a combination! But in the end, he still won’t escape from the palm of my hand!"
The old fisherwoman sneered coldly, plotting her next attack.
Zhao Yi and his counterpart fought fiercely, and in the distance, the protagonist and others watched with keen interest.
Following the shortcut given by the prisoner, he directly overtook Zhao Yi, just in time to witness the confrontation between Zhao Yi and the old fisherwoman, prompting the protagonist to decide to see the true extent of Zhao Yi’s power.
"I didn’t expect this guy to have such skills; we’d better be cautious in the future."
"Do you think we should prepare an ambush now? I don’t think this obstacle will hold Zhao Yi for long."
The protagonist was somewhat surprised by the prisoner’s conclusion and asked why he was so pessimistic.
The prisoner’s reasoning was simple; currently, the old fisherwoman did not have the upper hand in terms of strength, and in terms of intelligence, she was being crushed by Zhao Yi; sooner or later, she would be defeated by Zhao Yi.
"I’m not happy to hear you say Zhao Yi will win, but I have to admit you’re right!"
However, the protagonist did not leave immediately; he wanted to see what other tricks Zhao Yi had up his sleeve and how he would defeat his opponent.
Such a difficult adversary would severely deplete Zhao Yi’s Spiritual Energy, allowing the protagonist to set traps during his recovery time. He made up his mind, and the prisoner did not offer further advice.
"You little brat, you actually want to run!"
The old fisherwoman initially thought that after her opponent gained an advantage and understood the Law, he would continue to attack her, but Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal turned and fled into the distance.
She cursed Zhao Yi’s stupidity while chasing him.
Seeing the old fisherwoman in pursuit, Zhao Yi’s lips curved into a smile. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal suddenly turned and sprayed a massive stream of water directly at the old fisherwoman. The water instantly formed a water prison that trapped her. She didn’t initially take it seriously, preparing to smash the water prison with her arms, only to find it transformed to match her body, making it unbreakable, and realizing the issue was more problematic than she thought.
"You little thing, even if you trap me, it’s useless!"
After speaking, the old fisherwoman’s expression changed. Zhao Yi wasn’t worried about her and instead rushed towards a distant stream, his hands continuously changing Hand Seals. The earth trembled, and countless stones condensed in mid-air. In less than a minute, a massive stone ball hundreds of meters wide appeared in the sky.
Zhao Yi hurled the stone directly into the stream, and the stone ball immediately blocked the flow.
The previously calm old fisherwoman’s expression changed, while Zhao Yi did not pause. His hands waved, and countless fireballs appeared in the air. These fireballs gradually grew larger, finally shooting into the lake like meteors.
"Boom!"
The contact between the fireballs and the lake water caused a massive explosion, instantly evaporating the water and creating thick steam that blocked the sky. Moments later, Zhao Yi flew out from within the steam, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal escaping with the water prison.
The steam dissipated, the lake’s water level halved, and all the monstrous fish and kelp were dead, unable to regenerate.
"Yeah!"
His correct guess and the successful strike made Zhao Yi extremely pleased.
"Old lady, didn’t expect it, did you! We saw through you long ago! But attacking the stream directly would definitely have been thwarted by you, so we used a feint! If you understood military strategy, you wouldn’t have fallen for it!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal proudly flaunted the victory, while the old fisherwoman’s face was cold as ice, her appearance significantly aged, and her strong murderous intent shattered the water prison.
"Originally, I just wanted to have some fun with you two, but since you dare to try to kill me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"Old hag, your power source has been blocked. What other options do you have? It’s better to let us go!"
As soon as the Nine Dragon Jade Seal finished speaking, the stone ball on the ground was breached by a surge of water, and the old fisherwoman’s face showed disdain.
"The reason that little stream’s flow was small is that it stems from a mighty river. Only a small amount is needed for me to wield the Power of Laws, and you thought ordinary rocks could block it? You fools!"
As she spoke, the old fisherwoman’s hair flew wildly, her entire being resembling a demon. The light around her turned deep blue, and the surrounding sky followed suit. Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal stood side by side, gathering their strength to face the enemy.
Zhao Yi knew the old fisherwoman was in a desperate state. Splitting forces could result in solo defeat, making it unlikely for both to succeed.
While contemplating, Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal were already engulfed in deep blue light. He faintly felt the light around him was flowing, and a whisper of water could be heard.
As Zhao Yi was in doubt, he suddenly felt his body being Bound, with his neck tightly squeezed. Instantly reacting, he redirected his bodily strength to his neck and surface, countering it.
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal ceaselessly writhed, resisting the Binding.
"This is my ultimate ability, the deep blue is called the Invisible Ocean. Once inside, you will be at my mercy! Surrender, both of you!"
The old fisherwoman looked at them fiercely, confident as she noticed the lake’s water level had returned to normal!
Zhao Yi, battling the opponent, was also pondering what new power he could use to bind the old fisherwoman and catch his breath.
To buy more time, he kept gathering strength to counterattack, the two sides forming a standoff in mid-air.
From afar, the protagonist watched everything clearly, contemplating a sneak attack on Zhao Yi, only to be pulled back by the prisoner.
"If you enter that area, you must obey that Law. You’ll either fight or be trapped there."
"I almost forgot that. Not being able to personally kill Zhao Yi is disappointing!"
The protagonist made no effort to hide his obsession; Zhao Yi had defeated him several times and shamed him often. Not being able to deliver a final blow was a bit regrettable.
"Rest assured, there’ll be a chance. I don’t think Zhao Yi is at a dead end; the old fisherwoman’s strength has returned, but Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal still possess considerable power. Who knows if any changes might occur during this standoff?"
The prisoner began to dampen the protagonist’s spirits, increasing his dissatisfaction.
"Boy, are you admiring Zhao Yi? Otherwise, why speak like this!"
"We serve you, our duty is to speak the truth for the right decision, flattery isn’t in my duties."
The prisoner’s retort left the protagonist speechless, unsure how he ended up with such a single-minded follower.
"Zhao Yi! Surrender gracefully; no one can break this Magic, not even you!"
