Chapter 334: Pushed Back? Time to Counterstrike! (First)
The Terra Armor had already been fully reformed on Ta Shanâs body by the time he was in front of Bai Yunfei. Taking on the form of a giant sword, the soul armament of Ta Shan took advantage of the breaking of the barrier to deliver yet another strike! With the downward momentum, the sword was already dangerously close to smashing into Bai Yunfeiâs head!
âBang!!â
A snarl erupted from Ta Shanâs lips as his sword swung into Bai Yunfeiâs head. The sword paused momentarily on Bai Yunfeiâs before continuing to smash through Bai Yunfeiâs body, creating a crater in the ground below.
But, Bai Yunfeiâs body had⊠faded away!?
âBut how!?â The satisfied feeling of a kill was replaced with shock as the sight in front of him registered in his eyes. He was in disbelief. His sword had clearly smashed through Bai Yunfei. It had torn him apart with elemental earth, yet no flesh nor blood could be seen.
Bai Yunfei had disappeared without a trace!!
The sensation of âhittingâ flesh was real, but at the same time, the âfleshâ wasnât real!
In the middle of Ta Shanâs confusion, two identical spears came flying out of the dust cloud from the left and the right, attemtping to stab at his throat and heart!
These⊠these were the doppelgangers!!
Seconds ago, when Ta Shanâs sword was nearly upon him, Bai Yunfei had activated the +12 effect of the Fire-tipped Spear to summon a doppelganger in his place. From there, he launched his counterattack!
Rather than being surprised by this odd âtrickeryâ, Ta Shan was more than aware of what was happening in front of him. Two spears were coming at him, that much was for certain, but he wouldnât be caught off guard just yet. Snorting at the attempt, Ta Shanâs left leg pushed off the ground as he leaped back. He was moving his giant sword up for a horizontal swing.
His retreat served more than just one purpose. Not only did he want to create some distance between him and the spears, the elemental earth he transmitted into the ground manifested into the form of a spike. Launching out of the ground, this roughly arm-thick spike flew with blinding speed toward Bai Yunfeiâs stomach!
âPft!!â One grunt of pain later, Bai Yunfeiâs body was lifted into the air with the spike stabbing out from his back!
Then, his figure quickly dissolved into air just like the firstâa doppelganger!
Two seconds hadnât even transpired since the activation of the doppelgangers, but the two of them had already been dispelled by the tyrannical power of Ta Shan!
With the last of the doppelgangers dispelled, that left the Bai Yunfei on the right. He was the real one! Bai Yunfei was in trouble now since he hadnât expected Ta Shan to defeat his doppelgangers so quickly; his chance of a surprise attack was completely ruined. Ta Shanâs sword was rapidly coming at him again!
âDamn it all!â Bai Yunfei couldnât help but scream in his mind. He had no other choice but to abandon his attack, but there wasnât enough time for the Cataclysmic Seal to erect another barrier. Bai Yunfei could only maneuver his spear in front of him to stop Ta Shanâs sword from swinging into him.
âBang!â Bending almost circular at the shaft, the Fire-tipped Spear was ripped from Bai Yunfeiâs hands. It was sent flying away!
âHahaha! Iâd like to see you fight without that red spear now!!â Ta Shan howled in laughter. Without giving Bai Yunfei the chance to even process what had happened, he moved forward to strike again!
âTsk!â Forcing himself upright, Bai Yunfei glared at Ta Shan in annoyance for a moment before barking out loud, âCataclysmic Seal, go!!â
Spinning in response, the Cataclysmic Seal next to Bai Yunfei lit up with a fiery red light before flying at Ta Shan. On the way, the brick expanded ten times its normal size to stop Ta Shanâs advance!
âIt can change shape!â Eyes widening in surprise, Ta Shanâs flickered with light before his entire body disappeared!
No.
He didnât disappear.
What had happened was that he had leaped several meters into the sky. The Cataclysmic Seal was left below. Right as it was flying right underneath him, Ta Shan made use of the brick to propel himself toward Bai Yunfei!
This time, Bai Yunfei finally found himself at a loss for what to do. By using the Wave Treading Steps, he was able to dodge the first strike. Before he could relax, a second sword strike was already coming toward his midriff!
Unable to do anything, Bai Yunfei tried his best to move out of the way as much as he could with his arms up, but to no avail. The flat edge of the sword clipped into his side and sent him flying with a bang.
Ta Shan continued to chase after him!
Bloodlust was filling Ta Shanâs eyes once again. He was getting back into the rhythm of things. He enjoyed the sensation of the fight. Each slash, punch, or kick had been delivered swiftly to Bai Yunfei with elemental earth to further enhance the destructive force of his blows. If not for the quick-moving Wave Treading Steps and the occasional use of the Cataclysmic Seal as a shield, Bai Yunfei wouldâve lost his life many times.
Most of the time, Bai Yunfei had no choice but to use his arms to defend himself. If not for the bracers, Bai Yunfei wouldâve lost all use of his arms.
No matter how much anyone looked at this situation right now⊠it felt like Bai Yunfei would eventually lose to Ta Shan. He would be reduced to paste sooner or later.
Would Bai Yunfei really let himself succumb to such an ending without a fight?
âŠâŠ
âBang!â
Ta Shanâs sword was parried once again by Bai Yunfeiâs arms. The force of the blow sent shivers through Bai Yunfeiâs body, but instead of looking worried, his eyes suddenly lit up in excitement!
On the other side, Ta Shan had felt a stronger-than-normal amount of rebound when his sword was parried by Bai Yunfeiâs left arm. A slight crackling sound came from Ta Shanâs right hand along with a slight grunt.
The +10 additional effect of the Returner Bracer, activated!!

Reflecting thirty percent of the damage meant reflecting it back at the damage dealer. By extension, this meant reflecting damage to where Ta Shan had no defenses!
It caused a strain on Bai Yunfeiâs body to reflect the damage. Gritting his teeth as the pain traveled around his arms, Bai Yunfeiâs feet pressed several centimeters into the ground as he pushed off to widen the distance between him and Ta Shan. The muscles in Bai Yunfeiâs right hand bulged slightly as he clenched it. In response to his gathering of strength, the Ardent Sun Glove in his hand began to flicker with wisps of fire. With all preparations done, Bai Yunfei lashed out with a vicious right punch at Ta Shan!
Eighty-one Fold Fist Force!
âBang!!â
There was a muffled thud as fist met man. Even as a three meter tall behemoth, Ta Shan was lifted nearly half a meter off the ground from Bai Yunfeiâs punch! A series of cracking sounds could be heard as the elemental fire from Bai Yunfeiâs punch made its way into Ta Shanâs armor. Spiralling the way a spiderweb would, the cracks soon became so widespread over Ta Shanâs right arm that the armor in that area disintegrated! Even the stone sword he was holding had been dropped from his hand because of the force!
âBoom!!â
The heavy frame of Ta Shan smashed back into the ground. Dropping to his knees, there was a deep crack running through Ta Shanâs armor.
Bai Yunfei didnât move after that one punch. Instead, his left hand clutched at his right wrist. His palm faced Ta Shan. Gathering at the center of his open palm was a large amount of eye-piercingly red lightâŠ
âWhoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! WhooshâŠâ
Under the bewildered eyes of Ta Shan, a series of fist-sized fireballs launched from Bai Yunfeiâs palm to surround him in a wide-spread attack!
