Chapter 1605: Actual Combat

"Very well, I have been taught. Your strength is very great; even if all of us were to add up, we would not be your match, so please forgive our offense just now." Yi bowed slightly toward Chen Yu.

This blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner had a polite attitude toward people. If he hadn't known his identity beforehand, Chen Yu truly would not have been able to associate him with those vicious mercenaries.

"You are too kind. Do you want to improve your strength?" Chen Yu asked. "If you trust me, I can make your strength increase significantly. Right now, you indeed have the power to fight against high-level ninjas, and Initial Stage Onmyoji truly cannot stump you."

"But against an Onmyoji with slightly stronger strength, or a ninja in the God-Connecting Realm, you would only face total annihilation."

The group fell into Silence. If it were before, they absolutely would not have been able to tolerate Chen Yu saying such things, because they had never known defeat since they started their careers.

But the strength Chen Yu had just displayed was such that even if they were all tied together, they likely would not be his match, so now they were all silent.

"Is the Onmyoji you speak of very powerful? To what extent are they strong?"

"Your power is perception. Whether it is day or night, as long as someone comes, you will perceive it within five kilometers. Therefore, as a sniper, you are most suitable. You hardly need a scope to accurately snipe people within the range of your perception ability." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Yes, that is my ability." Liu nodded slightly. "Is there a problem with this?"

"There is no major problem." Chen Yu said. "I just said, if it were an Onmyoji skilled in concealment who entered your range of consciousness, you would have no way of discovering them at all."

"That is impossible." Liu gritted her teeth. She raised her head to look at Chen Yu. "Unless you take me to witness the other party."

"Very well, there is one right now." Chen Yu pointed casually toward a corner of the training ground. "The person is right there. Have you discovered the other party now?"

"Where?" Liu's brows locked tightly together. She looked in the direction Chen Yu pointed; there was only a tree in that place, and apart from that tree, it was empty.

"Use your strongest Mind Power to sense it." Chen Yu said.

Liu looked at the tree, closed her eyes, and her perception spread out, looking in that direction. After a long while, she opened her eyes and shook her head. "In my consciousness, that place is a blank; there is no one there at all."

"Is that so? Have you seen clearly?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"I have seen clearly, there is absolutely no one." Liu shook her head. She did not believe she could be wrong; she was very confident in her perception ability.

"The other party is a stealth practitioner. He is right in that tree, only he used an Onmyoji's Talisman to hide his figure." As Chen Yu spoke, his right hand grabbed into the void, and Lichen appeared in his hand.

He gripped Lichen tightly in his hand, staring at the tree, and then with a deep shout, he slashed out a sword strike into the void.

Whoosh—Lichen erupted with a zhang of Sword Light. At the same time the Sword Radiance burst out, the tree shook violently. With a crack, the Sword Qi split the tree in two, and at the same time, an Onmyoji wearing a long robe appeared.

The appearance of this fellow undoubtedly gave the people on the scene a shock.

Zhang Ju roared: "Protect Mr. Jingtian..."

He was the first to step forward, guarding by Jingtian's side, and the surrounding bodyguards hurriedly swarmed up, surrounding Jingtian in the very center.

Lao Wu was startled. He pulled from behind his back with both hands, and two curved blades suddenly appeared in his hands. His figure flickered, and he suddenly moved forward. Accompanied by several flashes, the curved blades in his hands rose and fell; with a few whoosh sounds, that Onmyoji was slashed into two pieces with one blade.

But after being slashed into two pieces, the Onmyoji did not fall to the ground. His figure flickered, and his body actually split into two; two identical people fled toward the sides respectively.

One of them crashed toward Yi rapidly. Yi shouted loudly, clenched his fist, and a Golden Fist Seal appeared on his right fist. He smashed a punch toward the Onmyoji clone rushing at him.

However, this punch did not smash the other party down. On the contrary, the other party's figure flickered and split into three; three identical figures fled in all directions again.

The mercenary group did not dare to be negligent. They knew they had encountered a tough nut this time. Everyone shouted in unison, exerted their strength, and attacked these Onmyoji.

But the more these Onmyoji were attacked, the more numerous they became, and everyone looked exactly the same, scurrying around here like headless flies, making everyone dizzy and confused.

"Mr. Chen, they are..." Wang Yu looked at Chen Yu involuntarily, his expression somewhat terrified.

He thought his movements were already hidden enough and that no one should know, but he never expected that someone had already laid an ambush here, and it was an Onmyoji with formidable strength and mysterious movements, which made him feel somewhat panicked.

"Don't panic, see if your people can solve it." Chen Yu smiled slightly. This mercenary group had probably never encountered such a bizarre thing before, right? Let them persist for a while longer to dampen their arrogance.

Sure enough, seeing that the Onmyoji were attacking more and more, and they still couldn't distinguish which one was the main body, Yi finally softened. He said helplessly to Chen Yu: "Fine, fine, we were ignorant. We have never encountered such experts before, so Mr. Chen, please help us solve this person before us."

"Very well." Chen Yu smiled slightly. He brought his right hand into a Sword Finger and his figure flickered, arriving on the scene. There were dozens of Onmyoji scurrying around mindlessly on the scene, while his figure locked onto the Onmyoji standing in the very center.

This Onmyoji stood on the spot without moving, looking as if he were in Silence, but in reality, his hands were secretly pinching seals; this was the main body of this Onmyoji.

Chen Yu pointed his right hand into the void, attacking that main body.

The main body was slightly startled. He also did not expect that among so many clones, Chen Yu could actually find him just like that and lock onto his figure.

In a panic, he formed a seal with both hands, and saw more than ten clones blocking in front of Chen Yu one after another, attempting to blast Chen Yu out of here.

Chen Yu did not care; he pointed his Sword Finger into the void, and vast Original Power surged out, striking these clones.

Originally, this fellow's clones would split into two after being attacked, and two would split into four, but Chen Yu's Primordial Qi permeated the surroundings, firmly locking the fellow's figure. His clone technique had been locked down; no matter how hard he tried, he had no way to break through the restriction.

Finally, a streak of white Qi surged out and struck the Onmyoji's chest. He retreated several steps, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
