Chapter 255: Hard On Engage

Qian Wuqing had been battling on the Human-Demon Battlefront for the last six months. Even though he was an Elf King Bloodline Warrior, he still had the chance of dying. In fact, the chance of him dying was higher than other warriors.

His beautiful battle form would attract more attention and more enemies. Since he was able to survive all of that and kill a considerable number of demons in the process, it proved Qian Wuqing’s strength.

Qian Jin stood straight and stared at Qian Wuqing who was standing beside the gate. “I have already held back in last the two fights. Otherwise, there would be two corpses here. Your honor is important, but other people’s lives are not?” Qian Jin thought.

The two of them stared each other in the eyes. No words were necessary, the two invisible presence had collided, and the battle had instantly started as they both sensed the lust for battle in each other’s eyes.

As soon as the two stared at each other, Duren Burg, Fanta Kunge, and Cech Flet got very serious.

When facing a level 7 Demon Capturer, Qian Jin didn’t have much advantages in explosiveness and cycle speed like he had in the last two fights. Instead, since he was only a level 2 Demon Capturer, his warrior power volume was much less compared with Qian Wuqing. The Elf King Bloodline was definitely impressive, it made such a young warrior into a level 7 Demon Capturer.

Qian Wuqing suddenly opened his arms and shook his shoulders. A faint red appeared on his skin as if he had turned into a fire elf.

At the same time, Qian Wuqing roared as if he wanted to oppress Qian Jin’s winning mentally in which Qian Jin got from the last two fights. Qian Jin felt like Qian Wuqing had turned to a legendary phoenix and was looking at him with disdain

As the roar resonated in the sky, Qian Wuqing’s level 7 Demon Capturer power surged, and numerous magic elements danced around him as if they were going turned into a fountain.

As soon as his spirit reached an all-time high, Qian Wuqing stepped on the ground and pushed himself into the air. As he leaped, he was like a thunder eagle that was insanely fast and left behind a series of deep marks on the ground.

He leaped three times, and that covered the 30 meters of distance between them. Like a war drum that would move one’s mentality, all three stepping sound shook ordinary people’s minds.

Boom! Boom! Boom! War drum like noise got louder and louder as they demonstrated Qian Wuqing’s power. The dust on the ground now in mid-air as if they were being pulled up by an invisible hand. The horses that were still quite far away sensed danger, they cried as they tried to break away from the reins that were tying them to the poles and ran away.

Qian Wuqing instantly appeared in front of Qian Jin. As soon as he landed, he twisted his ankle and slid forward for half a meter. His body got closer to Qian Jin, and more than fifty marble-sized ice balls dashed towards Qian Jin’s body in all directions.

The ice balls changed their shapes into small ice knives, and Qian Wuqing’s knees struck towards Qian Jin repetitively like a tornado under the power of his waist and hip, it was the magic spell [Roaring Ice Spikes] and fighting technique [Knee Down the Heavens].

At that moment, Qian Jin sensed a thick murderous intent. The hair on his body straightened as bean sized sweat dripped down his body.

Qian Wuqing was different from Qian Wuchen and Qian Wuji, he actually experienced life and death battles and killed several powerful enemies.

Among warriors in his age range, Qian Jin had never felt such a pressure before. When he was facing Qian Wuqing, he felt like he was facing himself.

“Is this the true power of the Elf King Bloodline Warriors? Except for the tough warrior power, they had a presence as if they were high-up kings who were looking down on their citizens and they had the power to determine their life or death.”

This was the presence that the Qian Family tried hard to develop in every Qian Family’s warrior. This presence was merged into the warrior’s style, the belief that they were truly invincible.

Qian Jin took a deep breath as his Wind and Cloud warrior power cycled in his body. The warrior power was cycling at the peak speed in all 108 of his reservoirs and created a series of cracking noises. Other people couldn’t tell if it was the noise of bone cracking or warrior power unleashing or clothes fluttering.

Faced with Qian Wuqing’s devastating strikes, bloodline technique of Iron-Arm Mantis made all of the muscles on Qian Jin’s arms pull back as if they were going into his bones – [Dividing Metal Multi-Chops]

Contraction, contraction, more contraction. After condensing under high pressure, Qian Jin’s thinner arms didn’t look weaker. Instead, they had a metallic look to it which made them look like metal blades.

Without moving his legs, Qian Jin lightly shook his body as he swung his sword like arms outward. The murderous spirit that was emitting from his eyes somehow merged into his arms, and the warrior power was organizing itself into many strange orders and made the arms buzz like a real metal blade.

A horrifying sensation enveloped the battleground that was intensive enough as Qian Jin’s arms gave off the buzzing noise. If someone closed his or her eyes, it would sound exactly like the noise that they would hear on the real battlefront.

The two arms came together and chopped down. [Bloody Combat Seven Strikes] was merged into this chop, and it created an unprecedented power.

Qian Wuqing who was following through with his knee strike got goosebumps. “Such a strong murderous spirit?” He thought.

The knee strike was powerful, and Qian Jin’s [Dividing Metal Multi-Chops] was unstoppable.

Boom! The two strikes smashed into each other.

At the same time, all the ice knives stabbed into Qian Jin’s body. However, the ice knives that would easily penetrate wood board exploded into ice dust as if they collided with a thick iron board.

Qian Wuqing didn’t have time to be surprised by Qian Jin’s body protection techniques as his thoughts were focused on his knee strike.

“Ouch.” Qian Wuqing felt a lot of pain as if he actually kneed a blade. “What is this strike? So special. I can break a stone pillar with this strike, but I can’t break his arms? My warrior power collapsed around my leg… How can arms hold up to legs?” He thought.

Suddenly, he shook his shoulder forward forcefully and position both of his feet on the ground. Without holding back his breath, he raised his arms and elbowed Qian Jin rapidly like the raindrops in the storm.

Fighting Technique of the Qian Family – [Meteor Shower]

A continuous 66 strikes and every strike can break rocks and destroy trees. There weren’t many Elf King Bloodline Warriors in this generation who was able to complete all 66 strikes.

On Human-Demon Battlefront, Qian Wuqing relied on this technique to take down a demon warrior who was equivalent to a level 5 Demon Capturer when he was only a level 3 Demon Capturer.

The elbows struck downward. Although these strikes were still quite a distance from the ground, the dust was blown to the sides as a “whooshing” strong wind was created.

After Qian Jin broke down [Knee down the Heavens], his strikes were no longer able to continue to deal damage to his opponent. Therefore, he separated his arms and swung his arms at Qian Wuqing’s elbows. The blade-like arms buzzed and created a ton of wind just like the [Meteor Shower].

Speed matched the speed, viciousness matched viciousness, and the aggression matched aggression.

Qian Wuqing’s elbows alternated and struck down as if they were real meteors falling off of the sky as they smashed against Qian Jin’s [Dividing Metal Multi-Chop] densely.

Warrior power, physical force, and other noises were mixed together. Dust was blown everywhere and people could barely see the two figures fighting but unable to tell who was who.

Qian Wuchen blinked his eyes forcefully. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Qian Jin, who didn’t have any bloodline power, was actually able to match up to Qian Wuqing who was a talented Elf King Bloodline Warrior.

One strike… three strikes… five strikes… ten strikes… twenty strikes… thirty-two strikes…

In the dust, the colliding noises of the two fighters were as loud as thunder. Qian Wuqing squinted his eyes and thought, “What is going on? I obviously have the advantage of the superior warrior power, but he is more in control of the fight since his speed, angles, and techniques are all better.”

There were only two possibilities; One was that Qian Jin was just as talented as Qian Wushan who was born to be a warrior; the other possibility was that he had an insane amount of experience.

Qian Jin? In Qian Wuqing’s memory, Qian Jin was one of his peers who loved to read and wasn’t a genius warrior. “But now? …Experience… where did he get all this experience?” He wondered

Forty… Forty-seven…Fifty…

Warrior powers and fighting techniques collided continuously, and Qian Wuqing’s face got darker and darker. His warrior power was, in fact, getting disrupted instead of Qian Jin’s.

“What is going on?” At the moment when Qian Wuqing was surprised, the warrior power in Qian Jin’s arms let out a weird puff noise. When his iron-like arms encountered Qian Wuqing’s arms, they suddenly got soft and coiled around Qian Wuqing’s arm like vines.

It was a special technique of Iron-Arm Mantis bloodline.

On top of chopping, if the [Dividing Metal Multi-Chops] reached level 5, then one was able to use this restraining technique. It would turn the sharp attack into a restraining hold.
