1086: Chapter 17 The Clown Who Only Plays Tricks [First Update] 1086: Chapter 17 The Clown Who Only Plays Tricks [First Update] When Jia Yan stopped in his tracks, the voice emanating a faintly superior strength than Jia Yanâs belonged to someone with an imposing aura, slowly emerging from the flagship at the center of the entire Red Tower Alliance vanguard squadron!
âJia Yan, you sure have many tricks up your sleeve!
But no matter what, youâre just a high-level expert, let me show you the insurmountable chasm between a high-level expert and a Respect-Level Strongman in real combat!â
This monster, with its huge size and an undeniable aura of terror, seemed to faintly control the whole heavens and earth.
The brainwave energy Jia Yan attacked with was directly neutralized by the energy of this monster.
In its presence, even Jia Yanâs terror seemed diminished.
Step by step, he walked from the vacuum of space toward Jia Yan.
âTo a true Strong One, though you distort space, you canât distort a Strong Oneâs attack; though you travel a thousand miles in one step, you canât escape a Strong Oneâs single move.
In a real battle, you, Jia Yan, are just a clown who plays tricks!â
By the time the last sentence was uttered, his 150-meter-tall figure had already reached in front of Jia Yan; a large and a small monster were now staring face-to-face.
This monster was entirely blood-red, with a body like a giant bird, having wings, but seemingly useless for flight, significantly shorter than those of flying creatures, but of course, a monster at this level wouldnât need wings.
âRzanine?â Jia Yan looked at the monster, asking without much fear.
âYes, just remember the one who will kill you later,â the blood-red monster said coolly.
His expression and words seemed to disdain Jia Yan.
âHeh, kill me?
You just spoke word by word, seeming to look down on my strength.
But if you really look down on my strength, why didnât you come over and start fighting directly?â Jia Yan coldly stated.
âLet me tell you why!
You are worried about two things!â Jia Yan didnât wait for the other to speak, saying directly, âFirst, your series of words were just to build momentum, because you know you donât stand much chance against me.
Second, and more importantly, my Giant Mosquito Fleet now outnumbers your vanguard fleet, and you donât want to waste time here.
If my fleet catches up, your fleet could be in great danger.
Am I right, Lord Rzanine?â
With every words Jia Yan spoke, the imposing aura of the blood-red figure slightly decreased, and by the end of Jia Yanâs statement, it had reached its lowest point, but the coldness in his physique intensified.
Apparently, he intensely resented Jia Yan for exposing his scheme.
âHeh, Mister Jia Yan, you are a bit wrong on the first point, because I really donât think youâre capable of fighting me.
The tricks you used might be very effective against regular fleets, but if you think they work on Strong Ones too, then youâre gravely mistaken.
Maybe, youâd like to try?â
In Rzanineâs cold eyes, a chilling light flickered.
âLetâs try, how can I be willing not to?â Jia Yan also emanated a chilling vibe from his Compound Eyes, both monsters currently looked quite displeased, and their wariness towards each other had reached its peak.
âTry?
Then letâs try!â
As the blood-red monster spoke, a tremendous force surged from his body, and then a fierce energy flowed from his body out into the starry sky behind, turning into a power that rapidly propelled his body forward, launching a direct attack at Jia Yan!
At the same time, Jia Yan felt an energy harshly suppressing his body surface, making it seem that even moving slightly could cause him enormous difficulty.
âYou are very young, I did not want to kill such a young Strong One, but since you seek death, then die!â Rzanine lashed out, his words fierce.
In his view, although Jia Yan was a peak expert with incredible skills, compared to his Lord Strength, he was weak because the biggest advantage of Lord-Level creatures is control over the environment.
Although Jia Yan had the skill to escape through distorting space, it was no match against his power, because even space, these environment-controlling Strong Ones, can effectively control!
âWhat strong environmental control power, even stronger than the control power of the two three-headed monsters on that Giant Star!â Jia Yan, feeling the energy suppressing his body, kindled a shocked emotion inside.
Knowing that his understanding of Lord-Level creatures all came from the three-headed monster on that terrorizing Giant Star and Old Suo Wu, he had always known Suo Wuâs power couldnât be counted on anymore, as his strength had largely diminished due to his age, while those two three-headed monsters had been Jia Yanâs main benchmarks.
At first, they thought that even though the strength of a normal dignitary-level monster might be stronger than that of the three-headed monsters, the difference wouldnât be significant.
However, now it seems that merely the environmental control power pressing down on his body makes a significant difference.
Because at this moment, the energy Rzanine exerted over Jia Yanâs body was more than fifty percent stronger than the strength of the two three-headed monsters!
âIt seems that the strength of dignitary-level monsters, due to intelligence, shows massive variations.
HoweverâŠâ
Jia Yanâs heart tightened initially, then his gaze became calm.
âThis level of strength is also within Senior Light and Shadowâs expectations!â he said thoughtfully as he looked at his opponent.
Subsequently, Jia Yanâs body shone with a similar energy, which faintly flickered.
This true energy felt very similar to the opponentâs environmental control power, but the total amount was significantly lesser.
Even though there was a large gap, because it was similar in nature, Jia Yan only needed to spread the true energy over the surface of his body to instantly isolate the opponentâs environmental control power completely!
A beam of light flashed by; it was when Jia Yan broke free from the opponentâs environmental control for the first moment, and Rzanineâs attack had already arrived.
âDie!â Rzanineâs strike was without any reservation, fiercely spewing terrifying energy onto the entire space area where Jia Yan was located, instantly devouring him.
âIâve got him!
This Jia Yan is truly arrogant, thinking a mere peak strong one could contest a dignitary-level!
In the starry sky, one level of difference is like heaven and earth.
Does he still think he can rise above his rank to defeat enemies?
Haha, maybe in the Desolate Starfield where there are no dignitaries, he got used to being invincible and thought he could fight against a dignitary.â
Rzanine watched everything before him, feeling disdain for Jia Yanâs arrogance.
At this moment, both sidesâ battleships and the media were closely watching the situation of this battle.
âThat Jia Yan is definitely dead, his methods scared us ordinary strong ones, but to starry sky strong ones, what truly matters is oneâs own power.
By mastering so many crooked paths, Jia Yan could not possibly have real strength.
He must have been expelled from the Desolate Starfield because his power was lacking.
To think he actually dared to confront our Marshal head-on, heâs simply seeking death!â
âThatâs right, Jia Yanâs strength is at most just a peak-level of Star Space.
To fight against a dignitary level, does he think he is one of the few geniuses from the Northern Star Domain?
Heâs just a country bumpkin; he doesnât understand how terrifying strong ones from big places are.
Now heâs dead and doesnât even know how!â
âOnce Rzanine kills Jia Yan, we should quickly regroup, their fleet might descend into chaos without their leader, allowing us to recover our lost advantage and defeat the Giant Mosquito Fleet.
They have pushed us to this point, the Giant Mosquito Fleet is quite formidable.â
Soldiers from the Red Tower Alliance fleet were full of confidence in their Marshalâs combat.
On the other hand, the Giant Mosquito Fleet felt the opposite.
They also believed in Jia Yanâs strength; although his overt power was slightly weaker than the opponentâs, Jia Yanâs various previous accomplishments showed that he was completely different from ordinary strong ones.
Moreover, compared to the creatures from the north, as members of a fleet emerging from the Desolate Star System, they understood Jia Yanâs astonishing growth trajectory.
These kinds of strong ones, they had no reason not to support.
Of course, the surface-level gap in combat power was not ignored by these members.
âMarshal Kama, letâs speed up; we will catch up with them soon.
At that moment, helping Lord Jia Yan, at the very least, Rzanine will be driven away.â
âYes, there are still starry sky strong ones in the opponentâs battleship.
If we donât go, even if Lord Jia Yan can defeat Rzanine, itâs likely that their other starry sky strong ones will shamelessly gang up on him.â
Kama naturally saw no reason to decline her subordinatesâ suggestion.
Her time spent with Jia Yan, apart from those from Kuditang, was probably the most.
At this moment, her confidence in Jia Yan had grown even stronger because according to Jia Yanâs growth trajectory, there was no way he would be defeated by just this one dignitary-level.
âAlright, letâs go over, but initially what we need to do is strike at the opponentâs possible reinforcements, then try to annihilate their fleet.
As for Rzanine, Lord Jia Yan will undoubtedly win.â
Kama chose to trust Jia Yan, even though at the moment it seemed like he had fallen into disadvantage at the first strike.
However, even Kama, who deeply trusted Jia Yan, didnât expect the subsequent events to surpass her expectations significantly!
In the center of the battlefield, Rzanine launched an attack, and the energy he used covered Jia Yanâs entire body; Rzanineâs corner of the mouth revealed a trace of a cold smile, as a dignitary-level strong one, he knew that a peak starry sky strong could absolutely not withstand his strike.
