Chapter 601: The Martial Dao of Bewitchment

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The moment he narrowed his slender and languid eyes, he exuded a bewitching aura that was totally different from his aura before.

Bewitching! Xue Tian exuded a wicked and bewitching aura from all his pores. He was extremely bewitching! Glamorous beauty! Evil beauty!

The long katana was slowly pulled out, inch by inch, from the scabbard, making a rattling sound of metal, as if a legendary bewitched sword was waking up.

The martial dao masters present felt a chill down their spines; they felt the coldness welling up from the inside. We’ve never seen someone as bewitching as him!

“My martial dao…” Xue Tian unsheathed the katana in his hand and held it diagonally to the ground, “Have you got an idea of what it is now?”

The Martial Dao of Bewitchment! Qin Fen couldn’t help but admire Xue Tian, giving him a thumbs up. So Xue Tian’s martial dao really is not the Martial Dao of Emotions but the Martial Dao of Charisma! The Martial Dao of Bewitchment; Xue Tian might be the best person in the whole world to cultivate the Martial Dao of Bewitchment.

The very existence of Xue Tian is bewitching! Qin Fen had seen countless genius martial artists but still felt that the existence of Xue Tian was too bewitching. His unparalleled learning ability is even more impressive than a whale swallowing its food. He managed to always hide his true martial dao with his Blade of Fury. No matter how I look at him, he’s simply too bewitching!

A layer of goosebumps appeared on Sun Jiulong’s skin. Although he still held arrogance on his face, he looked more cautious and alert when facing Xue Tian.

I didn’t know there was a monster like him. Sun Jiulong was shocked. Is this the true strength of Xue Tian who was said to have ruined the Azure Dragon Hall in Jupiter?

Nothing can stop me at the moment of life and death!

Sun Jiulong felt the pressure from the Martial Dao of Bewitchment. He stretched his arms out to the sides and let out a roar. His muscles and blue-black veins on his neck were twitching and bulking up. Soon, these blue-black veins could be seen all over his body.

The veins intertwined and entangled like countless tiny green snakes, forming a blue-black iron net that looked like it was weaved using the snakes. The veins were turning and pumping under his skin; his spine was making cracking sounds, as if his bones were moving. It sounded like hundreds of working popcorn makers.

An insect warrior! Qin Fen watched Sun Jiulong’s body undergo changes almost to a point where he didn’t look like a human anymore.

Huh… huh… huh…

Sun Jiulong bent over, his arms dangling on the ground. Saliva was dripping down from the sharp canine teeth in his mouth. He looked like a demon that was about to wipe out the whole world.

Young Hades frowned slightly as he looked at Sun Jiulong’s appearance. He pulled out a white handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped his lips. He said coldly, “It’s ugly.”

Roar! Sun Jiulong roared, turned his head, and looked angrily at the cold Young Hades.

Hades put his handkerchief back in his pocket, looked at Sun Jiulong calmly, and said, “What? Isn’t it true? You ugly thing!”

“Hey…” Xue Tian ​​swung the katana onto his shoulder and walked forward casually, “Your opponent is over here.”

Sun Jiulong suddenly turned back, and his stout and steel-pillars-like legs stomped on the ground. The whole land seemed to have tens of millions of bombs buried underneath. The powerful force exploded from deep under the ground. Turbulence was tearing up the huge rock that was blown up to the sky.

All the martial dao masters made their moves to block off the incoming stray energy waves; some martial dao masters who were slightly weaker simply chose to retreat and dodge it. The transformation to an insect warrior had stimulated the potential in him as a martial artist; the strength was converted into energy waves that were as firm as steel. The main portion of energy waves slashed the air and cut against Xue Tian.

All the spectators of the entire internet world were dumbfounded. Is this the power of a real pro? He stomped on the ground once and then disappeared completely?

He’s fast! Sun Jiulong moved like lightning; he was so fast that he nearly tore space and time apart. His fingers grew with pitch-black nails, looking like big iron claws. He executed a White Tiger Claw style from the Tiger Fist, pressing down with the strength like a fierce flood.

“A competition in speed?”

Sun Jiulong’s ear was echoing with Xue Tian’s playful tone. Before he could reach his opponent with the claws, his opponent disappeared after a shake! After Xue Tian’s figure completely vanished, everyone could then hear an explosion at the spot where he stood.

Divine Boxing: Thunderbolt Steps! Qin Fen’s fastest footwork was presented perfectly in front of everyone by Xue Tian, ​​the super-learning machine.

Behind! Two blue-black veins appeared as Sun Jiulong’s eyebrows twitched suddenly. Relying on his instinct as an insect warrior, he turned around and delivered a kick! The kick looked very much like a tiger’s tail: it was the Tiger Tail Kick! It was the meanest style in the Tiger Fist. It could bring unexpected effects when it was used at a critical moment.

Sun Jiulong had turned into an insect warrior and he could no longer be regarded as a pure-blood human. He was closer to being a beast, which enabled him to execute this Tiger Tail Kick perfectly and naturally. The Tiger Tail Kick drew an arc in the air, as if it was a saber that swung across the air.

Xue Tian didn’t make a counterattack. He swayed and executed several consecutive Thunderbolt Steps. Wherever he went, there would be a loud noise of thunder going off at those spots, further destroying the messy ground with the thunderbolts.

In a blink of an eye, the figure of Xue Tian suddenly appeared in Sun Jiulong’s pupils! A frontal assault!

The katana shone with its long-hidden murderous bewitching sparks at this instant. Sun Jiulong stood firmly on the ground with his feet, dodging the blade attacks. Anyone who was an apex-level martial artist knew that if he took a step back at this moment, Xue Tian would have the chance to drive him into the corner with his katana! If Sun Jiulong could dodge the fatal blow, it would be his best chance to fight back!

“Fighting back? Do you still think that you have a chance?”

Xue Tian didn’t mind talking during the battle. The katana in his hand was like a silkworm spitting silk, encircling with rounds after rounds of blade movements, drawing lines of beautiful arcs in the air. It would slice off blood and pieces of flesh with each move.

The katana looked like an ever-thirsty blood-sucking worm at this moment! Sun Jiulong let out a furious and ear-shattering roar. His aura of power surged into the sky, bringing out his blood with it which sprayed all over like a rainfall.

He’s making his final attack! The murderous aura was rising continuously, as if it was about to break the net formed by the bewitching blade attacks.

“You’re this desperate? Okay! Let me show you my Unstoppable Journey!”

The bewitching light of the katana in Xue Tian’s hands skyrocketed. There were countless blade attacks coming from all directions, surrounding Sun Jiulong in an instant.

Then, the encirclement didn’t expand or explode greatly, it was shrinking rapidly instead. It shrank and shrank even smaller! Xue Tian dashed past Sun Jiulong like a cannonball and reappeared a hundred meters away behind Sun Jiulong.

Blood spewed out of countless wounds on Sun Jiulong’s body. The blood fountain was yet to fall to the ground when his body fell into meat pieces the size of a thumb, scattering all over the ground. No one could recognize these lumps as a top martial artist ever again.

Wow… wow…

People who watched the battle through the Internet saw Sun Jiulong suddenly turn into meat lumps mixed with blood plasma, scattered all over the ground. Many people could no longer fight the nausea and they puked all over themselves on the spot.

The internet was overwhelmed by waves of terrified screams. No one had expected that Xue Tian, ​​a young man who seemed to be smiling all the time, fought with such a cruel and ruthless style. He chopped his opponent into pieces and made the scene so bloody.

“If you can regenerate under such a condition, you have my respect.” Xue Tian slid his katana back to the scabbard without looking back. He looked up at Azure Dragon in the distance.

The battlefield was dead silent. The insect warrior, Sun Jiulong, could not put his body back together as his heart and brain were cut into pieces by Xue Tian’s katana.

Those martial dao masters who speculated that the younger generation was barely qualified to challenge the older generation’s pros like Heaven Emperor and the others suddenly realized that these young men were not only qualified to challenge the older generation, but they were strong enough to face the seniors in fair duels!

The Great Ensemble had just begun, and these young people had already revealed their sharpest fangs!

“Next game… Lu Dongbin vs. Yang Jian…”

“I give up.”

Yang Jian raised his hand and smiled frankly. He lost the fight with Lu Dongbin a few months ago. Although he was working hard to improve himself these days, there had been no significant effect. In contrast, Lu Dongbin’s spirit was strong. There was a big difference between his current condition and his condition a few months ago. He seemed to be able to drive the power of heaven and earth. There was no suspense in this battle.

Lu Dongbin showed an unsurprising smile. Yang Jian could not take three of his firm and fierce punches a few months ago. Now that his strength had skyrocketed with continuous breakthroughs because of the life-or-death pill’s after-effects, it would be impossible for Yang Jian to withstand even half a punch.

Lu Dongbin focused his attention on Qin Fen. He did everything in order to fight Qin Fen again on the Great Ensemble today! This was not just for himself, but also for his companions who were killed by Qin Fen that day.

Feeling Lu Dongbin’s gaze, Qin Fen nodded gently and said, “I’m waiting to see it again, your world number one Firm and Fierce Martial Dao.”

“Sure!” With Lu Dongbin’s improvement over the past few days, his confidence had reached his heyday.

The first round of the battle was completed in a very short period of time. Countless spectators felt a little upset by this.

Qilin looked up at the winners and asked, “You guys, are you going to rest? Or continue?”

Qin Fen gently raised his hand to motion his intention to continue; Xue Tian didn’t seem to care very much; Hades nodded without any expression on his face; Lu Dongbin was exercising his shoulders and seemed keen for the next battle; Shang Guan Chuan Qi also gestured to continue.

Song Wendong raised his hand high above his head, and the huge cosmo battleship that had long disappeared from the sky flew back again, projecting the battle name list that was drawn randomly by the system.

Du Peng vs Du Hen! The battle between family members!

Lu Dongbin vs Caesar! The battle of the young and old!

Solomon vs Xue Tian, ​​Yang Lie vs Brooks, Shang Guan Chuan Qi vs Ground Treasury!

The five pairs of battle lists redrawn by the system had attracted everyone’s attention. Among them was not only the battle between family members but also the first fight between the top martial artist among the younger generation and the top senior martial artist. On top of that, there were battles between members of Qin Fen’s team; two pairs of them!

“Yang Lie.” Brooks stroked the broad saber hanging from his waist, “This time, we can finally know which one of us is the number one martial artist in the Americas.”

“Is that not clear enough to you?” Yang Lie smiled confidently, “The title as the Americas’ number one martial artist naturally belongs to me, the Ice Dragon King Yang Lie.”

“Is that true? My saber can cut open even the sky, let alone an ice dragon.”

While the two young pros were chatting, Snake King Du Hen had freed himself from the restricting pressure from Tagatha’s hand at his shoulder. He walked towards the center of the battlefield slowly.

The Snake King from Earth’s military headquarters straightened his spine that was like a pillar supporting the sky. He looked up slightly at Du Peng, who was walking slowly towards him from a distance.

“I hate you.”

Du Peng stood not far from Du Hen and looked at Du Hen with an icy cold face. He said slowly, “Turn around, or I will kill you! Even though I promised my brother to take care of the Du family, I still can’t hold back the urge to kill you.”

Du Hen’s frosty face cracked into a sneer, “Is it because your mother died in my hands? To be honest, I hate you even more. If it wasn’t for you, Zhanpeng would have definitely shown up here to fight for the title of the Divine Beast martial artist.”

“You’re asking for it!” Du Peng’s eyes turned blood red in an instant. His sanity when facing Du Hen disappeared completely in an instant.

Who in this world doesn’t love their mother? Even if you are my grandfather, if you kill my mother, I’ll never be able to stand it!

“I’m asking for it? Then what about you?” Du Hen shook his finger gently, “Zhanpeng is special. If I kill you today, I’ll be able to guide him back on track.”

“Kill me?” Du Peng’s face trembled, “Du Hen, I don’t care how lofty your ideal is, I only know that, for me, you are my enemy!”

The sound of a bell ringing echoed in the air interrupted the conversation between the two of them. Du Peng didn’t say anything else. He swayed his body and began the Dragonization of new human being!

Du Hen’s strength at nineteen-star was fully activated; his body was flowed with the Ground aura true energy in an instant, leaving no opportunity for Du Peng to complete his new human being transformation in order to improve his strength. Du Hen made a move and rushed to the front of Du Peng along with a high-pressure aura of power. He twisted his arm’s muscles as if it was a saber, delivering a style of Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Cavalry straight at Du Peng!

“Kill me? Bring it on! Du Hen!”

Du Peng spread his legs and lowered slightly into a horse stance; he countered with the same style of Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Cavalry with his arm.

The two powerful forces collided with each other. There was an explosion caused by the collision and compression of air currents. The moment the cloud of dust was sent up by the explosion, people could hear the clear crackling of bones colliding with each other from the center of the fight.

Du Hen’s arm was sore and numb and he took a half step back. He then saw that Du Peng, who was undergoing a new human being transformation, had rushed up. Du Peng’s arms were swinging away, pulling his muscles with a whistling sound. He delivered the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Crackling Fists at Du Hen.

Du Hen’s arm had not recovered, so he leaned back slightly, lifting up his right leg into a high kick to block Du Peng’s fists.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Bang bang bang… 

A series of rapid collisions caused the ground to shake violently every time the collision sounded. Several cracks with length ranging from a few meters to tens of meters long erupted from where they stood.

Du Hen’s right leg couldn’t feel anything at all, and the left leg supporting his body felt like an iron piler. After being hit by a series of heavy punches, he sank into the ground bit by bit, until he stood up to his thigh.

The battle had started hurriedly and ended very soon too.

The dust had yet to disperse when pieces of flesh and blood flew out from it. When the smoke and dust was gone, people were surprised to find that Du Hen’s left leg was still buried in the ground. His right leg seemed to be installed with hundreds of small bombs, as it kept exploding non-stop. If it was not for the regeneration power of his biochemical beast, he would have lost the entire right leg even quicker.

“It’s useless even if you have a biochemical beast.” Du Peng looked at Du Hen, who was stuck underground, “Your biochemical beast is too out-dated and has too many flaws. Even if it’s the best fusion, it’s still trash to me. The injury I imposed on you is by no means curable by a biochemical beast. I’ll never forgive you for killing my mother and I should have killed you. I held back because of my brother. However, don’t you ever dream of standing up again in your remaining life, or to ever speak again.”

A vegetative state! After he went through the new human being evolution, Du Peng had gained a deep understanding of ancient biochemical beasts. Even though Du Hen’s biochemical beast was already deeply fused with him, Du Peng as a Dragon Type new human being could still figure a way out.

“I’ll look after the Du family on your behalf. As for you…” Du Peng glanced at Du Hen for the last time, “You shall remain in this state.”

“Perhaps this is the best ending for you…” Tagatha crouched down and dug Du Hen out of the soil, and said gently in his ear, “Is it really that important for the Du family to have a Divine Beast?

“Is it really that important for the Du Family to have a Divine Beast?”

Not long ago, Tagatha had asked Du Hen this question in private.

“Of course, the Du family must have a Divine Beast martial artist! Since Zhanpeng chose Du Peng, and I have lost the ability to turn everything around. Now then, let me help Zhanpeng give Du Peng one final push.”

“A push?”

“Yes, I have made plans on this a long time ago. Since it’s Du Peng who succeeded today, then I can still run the plan I have arranged before.”

“You…?”

“I killed his mother. I think that should be enough to make him hate me to the next level. Compared to love, hatred is easier to cultivate, and this extreme emotion can really benefit people.”

“You…”

“Yes, as long as someone in the Du family can become a Divine Beast martial artist, I will bet on everything, including myself!”

“That’s why I hate you, and because I hate you, I left the army. I hate you for doing whatever you can to achieve your goals.”

“You’re no better than me. Weren’t you clear about Gun King’s relationship with the others when you killed him? Didn’t you also choose to stay alone a long time ago?”

“I’m not as noble as you. If someone wants to kill me, I have to kill him first.”

“Such a hypocrite! That’s what I hate about you!”

Their conversation not long ago was still echoing in Tagathat’s ears, but now he had to face Du Hen in his vegetative state.

“Don’t you regret it at all?” Tagatha asked Du Hen in his arms softly. Unfortunately, the Snake King who seldom talked to others but had always been talkative in front of him, could no longer answer any of his questions ever again.

“Is it worth it? Or not worth it? It depends on the person.” Tagatha broke into a smile as he recalled a statement that Du Hen once said. Suddenly, he felt his power, which had been stuck in progression in a long time, loosen!
