Chapter 875 A Powerful Foe

Chapter 875 A Powerful Foe 'Hehe, unfortunately for you, I'm already undefeatable in the Sage Plane.' Grey snickered internally and his aura surged. Boom! The attack of the man and Grey collided and the man was forced back a few steps. When he looked at Grey, his eyes opened wide and his mouth dropped. "How?" He blurted out unconsciously. Grey just went from the Second stage of the Sage Plane to the Peak in less than a second. This was something that shouldn't be possible. 'Unless… he was hiding his cultivation. That's it!' The man thought in realization. This was the only explanation he could come up with. He accessed Grey once again before nodding, "No wonder you were marked. So young but already so powerful. You'll fit nicely into my collection." "I was about to say the same to you." Grey commented offhandedly. He didn't feel any pressure from this man. The man might have strength above the Sage Plane, but since it was reduced because of the realm, he didn't have anything to fear. Grey's figure blurred as he charged at the man. Given the small size of the man, he found it difficult to hit him with straightforward attacks, so he switched to attacks that covered a large range. The attack power might be lesser, but it still didn't change the fact that it would still cause the man some harm. The man used the wind element, but Grey could sense a slight difference between when he was using the wind element and when this guy was using it. They exchanged multiple moves in a short time and Grey was the one who had the advantage. The man couldn't believe his eyes. He was an expert that had gotten close to the very top. If not for an unfortunate situation, he wouldn't have come to this stupid place to hide. The man's eyes glowed with a green light and a large tornado formed up in the spot where Grey was standing. The speed at which the tornado formed was so great that it caught Grey unaware. It picked Grey into the air and wind blades started to slice his body while he was spinning in the air. Grey used the earth element to form a force field around him. The force field was like a transparent screen that was very strong. None of the wind blade attacks managed to touch him when he did this. Grey tried to teleport out of the area, but he felt something restraining him. Now, he understood that experience was way more important in a battle. This man had been wary of his space element, so he used the tornado to tear the space apart. Apparently, if Grey dared to create a spatial tunnel to escape, it would instantly fall apart, not giving him the opportunity he wanted to escape. He was currently forcing Grey to stay in the tornado. Grey naturally wouldn't allow something like this to happen for too long. His earth screen was on the verge of breaking with multiple line cracks already on it. He waved his hand and an inscription lit up in the air. It was made from fire essence. However, there was something different about this inscription, there was a smaller one in the middle. A large flame shot out of the inscription with unbridled speed. The man was taken aback when he saw this and hastily tried to dodge. Doing this meant that he was distracted from attacking Grey with the wind blades. Grey took the opportunity and escaped from the range of the tornado into a safer place. He looked at the inscription with a smile. This was something he worked on during the time he was teaching Keith the Lutra language. He was trying out how he would be able to boost the strength of his elements with the other elements when the idea struck him. The wind element was very good when it came to increasing the attack speed of his other elemental attacks, so he tried to make a wind inscription in the center of the fire or lightning inscription. At first, both inscriptions were clashing since each wanted to be the dominant force when taking in the elemental essence from the world. It took Grey sometime before he managed to navigate through this. Now, the result of his hard work has come forth. He couldn't hide the fact that he was pretty excited about what the future held for this new discovery of his. The man seeing that Grey had escaped didn't rush over once again. He could already tell that Grey was no easy opponent, and he didn't want to make any mistakes against him. Two coffins suddenly appeared beside him and they opened up. Grey saw the figures of two dried corpses, one of them belonged to a human, while the other seemed like a beast-like creature. It was in a humanoid form, but there were scales and bumps on its body. "I'll have to take you seriously if I want you dead." The man said and pointed at Grey. The corpses rushed at Grey when they received the order. Both corpses were at the Peak of the Sage Plane. Grey created more inscriptions as he started to fight against the corpses. The man joined in on the battle as well when he saw Grey was able to hold his own against the corpses. The entire area they were located shook heavily from their battle. Grey had been very cautious and made sure none of his attacks were unnecessary. Cracks started to appear on the side of the walls around them, and some of them fell to the ground. Grey paused to look at the man, but to his surprise, the man didn't have any plans of stopping. 'Is this natural? Shouldn't he be afraid this place might collapse?' He thought internally. Since the man wasn't showing any signs of stopping, then he would not stop as well. 'I wonder if Void's opponent was this powerful? Nah… I doubt that.' He shook his head at this thought. Void was only in the Mid stages, so it was impossible for him to fight against someone at the Peak.
