Chapter 284: Art of War, and Dark Demon Armor

What if the Qian Family could have Fallen Angel Bloodline Warriors in the future! What type of grand situation would that be? What could the other two ultimate bloodline warrior families of the Zence Empire employ to fight against the Qian Family? Even the Demons Empire would be removed in the near future!

“She isn’t willing to go even under such dangerous circumstances.” Cech Flet rose up and strolled around while casting a glance every several minutes at the surrounding flowers and grasses with a somewhat hostile look. If Qian Jin didn’t say that these plants were greatly useful, he would have burnt it into ashes long before to see what was hidden here that caused Lucifer Lucy to remain here.

Qian Jin was also looking around, wondering whether she knew the secret room hidden behind the mutated flowers and herbs. Tens of thousands of gold bricks was indeed a huge amount of wealth which might even go beyond the assets of a princess, yet it didn’t serve as a compelling piece of evidence for her adventure here.

“Want to know what she’s looking for?” Fanta Kunge frowned and looked around. “Just allow her to be here! Then we’ll know what she wants.”

Qian Jin tapped his head softly, blaming himself for not having thought up this scheme despite the immense books about the art of war he had read.

Duren Burg, who was sitting on the stone-carved throne, gave Fanta Kunge a thumbs up. “You really are deserving of being a descendant of a military family! You’re quite adept at the books about the art of war.”

“Since I’m not as strong as you all at the present, I have some advantages don’t I?” Fanta Kunge whisked his fingers and put on a confident smile. Holding the tradition of nurturing excellent commanders, the Fanta Family imposed the most rigid military commanding training on each of its descendent from their childhood. This was very different from Qian Jin’s acquiring of military knowledge from books.

“Ok! Let’s do that!” Qian Jin tapped his thighs. “Let’s pretend to leave here after you’re get fully recovered.”

Cech Flet lifted his hand and felt his wounds on the chest, “Lucifer Lucy, I’ll give you a harder punch next time.” He murmured.

Qian Jin opened his warrior dimension and couldn’t help uttering a sigh at the sight of the absence of Energy Stones. The energy stone lode in Four Seasons Valley was desperately small and had eventually been used up by now. In this way, the increase of his warrior power would be slowed down, making it necessary for him to go to an auction to buy some Energy Stones and Energy Cores with the gold he just harvested.

Ten million gold coins? Qian Jin shook his head at the gold coins in the warrior dimension as that amount of money constitute a large fortune but would be used up within a short time by either buying Energy Cores or for purchasing materials.

Looking at the empty warrior dimension, Qian Jin again lifted his hand to scratch the head. His warrior dimension had been enlarged with the increase of his strength day by day. Since he became a Level 1 Demon Capturer, it got bigger, and the appearance of the Warrior Heart further intensified the warrior dimension, which had now grown into a cubic space with one thousand meters in length, width, and height.

In the case that he stepped on the human-demon battlefront and got injured severely during a fight, he would be noteworthy at being a logistic transport soldier due to his warrior dimension which could host piles of stacks of supplies.

The cave became silent again. Cech Flet smeared the ointment given by Qian Jin around his chest while Duren Burg and Fanta Kunge went on with their warrior power training. Qian Jin habitually took out the mage hat, covered it on his face and entered the endless world.

Time flew by in silence, and another seven days had passed. Fanta Kunge was resurrected as a Level 4 Demon Fighter, where the number of available warrior reservoirs increased to fifty.

“Isn’t the Gold Essence Warrior Power overwhelmingly strong?” Duren Burg kept smacking his lips. “A warrior who has awakened the bloodline power could never ever lowered his level below a Demon Fighter, Otherwise, I would want to switch too.”

“Why do you want to switch?” Fanta Kunge rose up from the water and said: “By burying yourself in the sand these days, you have also reached the peak of Level 8 Demon Fighter, haven’t you?”

Duren Burg curled his lips, and that caused his ears to move back and forth. “How did Qian Jin think of this method? Although a little masochistic, it did work a lot better than what was introduced by the books.”

Cech Flet quietly nodded. Although he briefly tried it yesterday, he found that much more effective than normal training.

Floating in the water, Qian Jin opened his warrior dimension and started pouring in the fresh water which had the function of stimulating snake-type bloodlines until he filled up eight hundred square meters of the total one thousand square meter space.

Yet the height of the water surface in the pond remained the same, though having been depleted of eight hundred square meters of water. This made Duren Burg highly amazed.

“This kind of training is labeled as self-abuse?” Qian Jin crawled onto the bank and swung his body to shake off much of the water over his clothes down to the ground. He couldn’t help but sigh and wonder what the torturous experience he underwent in the Endless World deserved to be called. Yesterday he was tormented by Uncle Blake and Adams and Eulalia once again.

The effects were awesome! Qian Jin felt that the Steel Body of his Wind and Cloud Golden Body had improved a lot. Moreover, his warrior power had entered that of a Level 5 Demon Capturer with the help of Warrior Heart Awareness during the past days of agonizing training.

In half a month he had risen from a Level 4 to a Level 5 Demon Capturer. Qian Jin himself didn’t know what to say as such a speed had even exceeded that of a bloodline warrior’s.

“You’ve attained such speed due to your Warrior Heart.” Seeing the lamenting face of Qian Jin, Fanta Kunge said, “No Demon Capturer can have a Warrior Heart since it’s exclusive to the Demon Slayers. With the increase of one’s strength, there comes the need to expand the volume of warrior power. In the absence of a Warrior Heart, one would need to spend so much time to increase the volume of warrior power to become a Demon Extinguisher from the level of Demon Slayer.”

Qian Jin nodded and started walking out of the cave. The warrior power absorbance speed of the Warrior’s Heart was really amazing. If coupled with an Energy Core, it would be further increased to a paramount level.

“As a Demon Capturer, you’ve already gotten hold of the Warrior Heart that is needed when you ascend into a Demon Slayer. While your warrior power absorbance speed is of a Demon Slayer’s, that would be a lot quicker than any Demon Capturers.”

“Fanta, you’ve really made a profitable deal.” Duren Burg laughed while walking out of the cave. “I hear that to condense the Warrior Heart is really painstaking for an ordinary warrior. Qian Jin shows you a royal road.”

Fanta Kunge nodded softly. Having been buried in the sand for the past days, he did recognize that this was a better way, a lot better than using weird and unsafe Magic and Rune Arrays.

“Qian Jin.”

“What’s wrong?” Qian Jin turned his head to Cech Flet, wondering what this handsome half-blood was trying to say. Nine out of ten times, this man was silent unless there was an urgent need for him to address.

“Let go of the Demon Warrior serving Lucifer Lucy.”

“No problem.” Qian Jin nodded and looked at Cech Flet with sheer curiosity. This handsome half-blood boy wasn’t the compassionate type. The other day when they came back to Oakland, he didn’t hesitate to kill off the general of the city’s guards. Why did he show sympathy for a Demon? Didn’t he hold a rooted hatred toward the Demons?

“He…” Cech Flet stopped for a second, “is a good Demon. If it wasn’t for him messaging me and setting me for free, I wouldn’t have escaped from the Demon’s palace. If it wasn’t for him, I might have already died.”

Qian Jin sighed and scratched his head awkwardly. If he was informed of this in advance, he wouldn’t have shot at that demon. The demon who saved Cech Flet had become a handicapped one-legged demon now; Qian Jin felt the need of making up for this loss someday in the future.

“Princess, they have left.”

“They left?” Lucifer Lucy flashed a thoughtful light from her single eye, “Have they really left?”

Rafal turned back and looked at Lucifer Lucy; he felt that this princess, who never made any compromise to anyone, was terribly fearful of Qian Jin.

“Let’s wait longer.” Lucifer Lucy softly shook her head. “I don’t think things are going to be so simple.”

Rafal spread his wings and continued gliding using the wind in the desert. Every now and then, he would emit the positioning sound waves exclusively possessed by Blood Bat Bloodline Warriors to search for Qian Jin and his fellow friends amidst the roaring wind in the Ancient Desert Sea.

“No! Land quickly!” Lucifer Lucy suddenly infused strength into her feet while Rafal also felt a cold and dangerous current surging inside him. It was not their first time feeling like this.

Danger! The Ancient Desert Sea was a highly hazardous place, either on the land or in the sky! They hurriedly landed and slumped into the sand. Lucifer Lucy looked out from the sand and saw a Golden Griffin King flying away after hovering in the sky for some time.

Appalling high-level demon beast! It had been the second time! If they acted a bit slower, the Thunderclap Hammer would be conjured by the Golden Griffin King. Even if Lucifer Lucy had the Demon Eyes of Destruction after reaching level 9 Demon Capturer, she couldn’t block it.

Seeing the Golden Griffin leaving, Lucifer Lucy rose up, shook off the sand over her body, and frowned again. If she was wearing the Dark Demon Armor, she wouldn’t necessarily be frightened by the Golden Griffin King! “Damn Qian Jin! He not only destroyed one of my eyes but stopped me from getting the Dark Demon Armor! I can’t wait even one more second!” She thought.

“If we could get the Dark Demon Armor earlier, our chances of survival would be higher.” Lucifer Lucy walked toward the cave as she said. “It’s dangerous to stay here any longer. We don’t know whether the Elf-king Bloodline Warrior called Qian Wutian has disclosed our whereabouts to his family.”

“I bet he won’t.” The Blood Bat followed Lucifer Lucy while staggered. “He is a man of pride. I bet he will try fighting back with his own power.”

“Really?” Lucifer Lucy looked up to the sky. “I hope so! Once I get the Dark Demon Armor, I could awaken the bloodline power once again! By that time, I will be able to kill Qian Jin on my own after a few months’ of training.”

“My highness, I believe that Qian Jin and his friends are far from us.” The blood bat whispered behind Lucifer Lucy. “All the reflecting sound waves showed no signal of their location.”

Lucifer Lucy blossomed a satisfied smile on her face, by which the twisted eyebrows were loosened. This was the only good news they got during the last couple of days.

In the dim cave inside the mountain, Lucifer Lucy took out a legendary luminous pearl from her warrior dimension; it would be a luxury ware for Qian Jin, but it was a usual plaything for her as a demon princess.
