Chapter 177 Headless Knight
One was dressed in bizarre, alternative attire, like a circus clown, while the other radiated a terrifying aura, was headless, rode an ebony-black steed, and clutched a conical weapon over two meters long.
"Who are you two? What is your purpose here?"
The two didn't respond. Suddenly, the Prajna Edge Rider (Banruo Fengqi), astride his warhorse, closed the distance and used his conical weapon to impale Ye Cang, sending him flying.
The force of the blow was so great that Ye Cang coughed up blood incessantly, tears streaming down his face from the intense shock and stimulation.
"Cough, cough! Damn it... he actually launched a sneak attack before I could!"
The Prajna Illusionist (Banruo Xifa) said, "How is it, Ye Cang... does your body feel an extremely intense pain that you can't suppress?"
Hearing this, Ye Cang immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Not good! He already knows my current physical condition. Compared to this headless knight, he must have some special attack effects!"
Suddenly! A horse neighed, and the Prajna Edge Rider swung his weapon at Ye Cang.
Ye Cang, already agile, easily dodged with a quick shift.
The headless knight, Prajna Edge Rider, continued his relentless assault on Ye Cang.
But no matter what moves the knight used, Ye Cang managed to evade just before the weapon struck.
Repeated fierce attacks were all in vain...
This caused the headless knight's warhorse to emit another mournful wail...
The horse wailed as the headless knight continued to attack Ye Cang wildly.
Despite this, the Prajna Edge Rider still couldn't touch a single hair on Ye Cang's head.
The warhorse cried out again, its tragic neighing like a demon crawling out of hell, a terrifying, hair-raising pressure filling Ye Cang's being.
Not only Ye Cang, but even the clansmen in the city felt a trace of fear.
Amidst the successive wails of the horse, the weapon in the Prajna Edge Rider's hand became even more substantial than before.
Ye Cang immediately noticed this phenomenon.
"His weapon is becoming more and more solid. If I'm not mistaken, this headless knight's combat power is now being enhanced."
Ye Cang wanted to confirm his idea and originally intended to break into the headless knight's inner circle and take one of his attacks head-on.
But then he thought, his body was too weak, and enduring attacks was always Luke's specialty.
If he took a perfect offensive head-on... if his body couldn't withstand it, then the Outlaw Land they had painstakingly built would be destroyed.
After a moment of thought, Ye Cang had no choice but to dodge nimbly and wait for an opportunity.
Suddenly! The Prajna Edge Rider struck downward with his weapon.
The violent shockwave directly pierced the battlefield, and even the city walls behind Ye Cang were split in two.
Ye Cang thought, "Just as I expected, his attack power is gradually increasing with each neigh of the horse beneath him!"
The Prajna Edge Rider continued to attack. Amidst the storm of attacks, Ye Cang dodged as easily as strolling in a courtyard.
In terms of speed, Ye Cang might not be a match for Feng Lei.
But over the long term, Ye Cang had adapted to Feng Lei's speed in their battles.
And the headless knight before him, although fast, was as different from Feng Lei's speed as heaven and earth in Ye Cang's eyes.
Faced with such an agile Ye Cang, the Prajna Illusionist couldn't help but curse.
But before he could utter a single curse word, Ye Cang flashed in front of the Prajna Illusionist... and with one hand, he grabbed his neck and threw him at the Prajna Edge Rider.
Bang!
The Prajna Edge Rider didn't have time to retract his attack, and his weapon instantly sent the Prajna Illusionist flying into the sky, never to be seen again.
Ye Cang smiled confidently, "Hey, hey, hey... now it's 1v1, and I can finally fight you without any worries!"
Although the Prajna Edge Rider had no head, he seemed to understand what Ye Cang said.
The warhorse roared to the sky, and the Prajna Edge Rider charged first, pouring all his strength into the weapon in his hand, thrusting it forward!
Bang! This powerful blow was unsuccessful.
At this moment, the headless knight's warhorse had become even more terrifying.
This was the Prajna Edge Rider's special ability: the more terrifying and ferocious he became, the stronger his strength became.
In endless, hysterical wails of pain, the weapon in the Prajna Edge Rider's hand became more and more solid.
Not only was the texture unique, but even the luster on the weapon was dazzling.
With a whoosh!
The headless knight's weapon struck at Ye Cang again.
This attack was like Mount Tai crashing down!
Ye Cang originally wanted to break into the inner circle, but the headless knight's attack intent had already formed, making it difficult to break through.
"Domain Reading!" (Yu Du)
Ye Cang hurriedly entered Domain Reading form, using the surrounding white flames and the power of the sun to forcibly withstand the blow.
Boom! A loud noise!
Ye Cang was blasted deep into the ground by the headless knight.
A moment later... Ye Cang burst out of the ground and charged straight at the headless knight.
Seeing Ye Cang rushing towards him, the Prajna Edge Rider also charged towards Ye Cang without hesitation.
Suddenly!
Ye Cang slid under the attack, then with a backhand, he punched into the warhorse's abdomen.
Pfft!
The powerful penetrating force, combined with the impact, directly blasted the headless knight, along with his horse, away.
The violent warhorse became even more ferocious, and its combat power continued to increase without limit.
Under the frenzied attack, Ye Cang could only temporarily avoid the brunt of it.
The angry warhorse now spewed two balls of black mist from its nostrils. These two balls of mist transformed into phantom clones of the headless knight, overlapping behind the real body.
Ye Cang thought, "I have to take him down immediately... if his ferocity has no limit... that also indirectly means that his attack power will also have no limit."
Ye Cang attacked first!
In the fierce exchange, the two seemed evenly matched, but in reality, Ye Cang had always been in the driver's seat.
The reason Ye Cang hadn't been able to defeat the headless knight was because, although he held the initiative, the headless knight's defense was also watertight.
With the battle deadlocked, the headless knight decided to make a last-ditch effort. The weapon in his hand suddenly exploded, and countless conical spikes shot out from his hand.
Even if Ye Cang was agile and nimble, he couldn't completely avoid this dense, rain-like attack from all directions.
