Chapter 35 - Invulnerable
Ji Hao felt as if an electric current had passed through his body; there were goosebumps over his entire body and the tiny hairs on his body were all standing up. He detected all sorts of emotions contained in the shouts of Ji Ying and Ji Lang; tension, shock, and even a slight trace of fear.
Ji Lang and Ji Yang held their head high and their weapons tight, while taking three steps forward and faced the two clansmen of the Jia Clan bravely. They might not be aware of the fear buried deep inside their own hearts, but Ji Hao certainly was.
“Uncle Ji Ying, what the hell is the Jia Clan?” Ji Hao looked at the two four-eyed men walking quickly towards him and shouted to Ji Ying.
“Withdraw! Hao! Back!” Ji Ying gripped his spear and growled. Streams of fire spurted out from his body, his body turning almost translucent in the raging fire. “They’re monsters from the Jia clan! Stay away from them!”
“Hehe…hehe…” The Jia Clan warriors curved their lips and chuckled in disdain.
Looking at the inhumane enemies, Ji Hao took a deep breath. The purple light spot which was condensed by his internal power appeared between his eyebrows and started rotating rapidly, continuously drawing the surrounding power of the nature into Ji Hao’s body.
Ji Hao’s body trembled a bit, after which he started reciting the [Nine Secret Words]. At that moment, Ji Hao’s silhouette became hazy and indistinct. Followed by a muffled thunder in the air, Ji Hao pointed his left hand towards the sky and his right hand towards the earth. His pupils were shining with a chilling cold light. At the same time, a chilling wind whooshed through the air.
The ground under the feet of the two Ji Clan warriors started moving like water. Tens of arm thick thorns of dirt thrust out from the ground. The tips of these thorns were shining with the same chilling cold light as that in Ji Hao’s eyes. Under the control of Ji Hao’s power, the hardness of these thorns were greater than that of steel.
However, these sharp and hard thorns shattered into dust against the armours of the Jia Clan warriors. The Jia Clan warriors stood still, but their armours were shining without even a trace left by those thorns. Their mocking laughter turned louder and their eyes turned colder.
“Ji!” Ji Hao snapped. All the plants in the vicinity to shake suddenly. Hundreds of towering trees withered and collapsed and large patches of grass scorched rapidly. Only a few plants near the two Jia Clan warriors were wrapped by a green light and started growing madly; their leaves and vines expanded over hundreds of times in the blink of an eye. Under influence of Ji Hao’s magic power, these leaves and vines became as hard as rebar and coiled around the bodies of the Jia Clan warriors like serpents.
Those huge vines continued coiling around the Jia Clan warriors and wrapped them into a large green cocoon, after which it started wriggling and wringing, making a gravelly raucous noise.
“Such a boring trick!” A cold and glib voice came from within the green cocoon. Just when the voice faded, the cocoon busted open due to a power at the inside; countless pieces of leaves and vines were blown away by the power of the impact. The two Jia Clan warriors calmly broke loose from the cocoon and continued walking in big steps.
“Hao! Step back!” Ji Lang growled. “These Jia Clan people are monsters! Only a Senior Magus can deal with them!”
Ji Hao didn’t listen to Ji Lang. He locked his fingers together and triggered the [Nine Secret Words] in order. The power of the [Nine Secret Words] allowed Ji Hao to connect his own internal power to the power of nature. The nature power around him started rotating like an invisible whirlpool. A small spark emerged from the air then started a great fire around Ji Hao. Nine, arm-thick and tens of feet long, fiery snakes darted out of the blazing fire and rushed towards the Jia Clan warriors, emanating great heat.
The fiery snakes hit right onto the chests of the Jia Clan warriors, but they didn’t even blink when it happened. They only threw a mocking glance at Ji Hao and kept walking. The nine fiery snakes exploded with a loud bang at the very next second, shedding sparks and smoke and fell with a great splashes of fire near their heavy armours, failing to leave even any trace on them.
