Chapter 366: A Decisive Battle by The Seashore! A Life and Death Battle Between Two Favored Sons of Heaven!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
As the sun set and the moon rose, the sea slowly began to recede. Occasionally, a few hermit crabs busied themselves on the silver beach.
Qin Fen, holding a can of beer, was sitting with his hand behind him on the sandy beach in a very casual manner. Gusts of sea breeze blew his growing black hair gently on his forehead.
Xue Tian, God knows from where he took out a katana from, was cleaning it. The shining cold blade under the moonlight appeared even sharper than before. His hand moved slowly over the blade with the sea waves.
Kyokushin Genichi was peeking glances at his Master Qin Fen with worship. Not long ago, apart from Xue Tian, Lin Ling, Chen Feiyu, and Du Peng, everyone else had been defeated in one move during the spar.
SPLASH!
Suddenly, the calm surface of the water broke with a splash as Young Dragon King – Yang Lie swam out of the sea like a flood dragon. He let out a long roar and splashed away a large part of seawater stuck on his body before diving back into the sea again with a huge splash.
As if in response to Young Dragon King – Yang Lie’s long roar, a very small part of the sea suddenly split into two as a powerful energy blade split the sea from the bottom of the sea. The energy blade bore the aura of power that gave the impression that it would split the sky itself. Immediately after, Brooks also jumped out of the water and let out a loud and clear roar.
Right then, nine tiny pillars of water erupted out of the sea as Caesar, carrying his hands behind his back like an Emperor, broke out of the sea. His long roar was not the least bit inferior to the first two.
Looking at young martial artists breaking out of the water, one after another, Kyokushin Genichi’s eyes flickered with envy. Judging by their distance from the shore, Caesar was the farthest and naturally, his strength surpassed the others.
As Du Peng broke out of the water, his face was somewhat blue. When everyone appeared out of the water, although it was hard to tell who was the best, everyone’s foundation could still be judged.
Great Emperor – Caesar, Sky Splitter – Brooks, Young Dragon King – Yang Lie, Solomon, these four were way farther than Du Peng from the coast.
Xing Wuyi, looking at the floating Du Peng in the water, heaved a sigh. As Young Master Du’s brother, he was under a great deal of pressure. Rumor had it that Du Peng had been training the most fiercely out of everyone. It would not be too strange to say that he was playing with his life.
Qin Fen’s drugs, Young Master Du’s legacy… Xing Wuyi wiped the drop of water off his face as he looked up at the stars in the sky and shook his head; he didn’t say anything.
At this moment, Xing Wuyi didn’t need to say anything. Du Peng was no longer in need of comfort. Excessive comfort and stimulation would only make him collapse.
Du Peng was the last one to return to the shore. Drops of waters were trickling down his cheeks, but it wasn’t clear whether it was just water or tears. However, his chest was heaving up and down, severely and non-stop.
Having inherited the legacy of a genius brother and taken the rarest elixir, yet being unable to catch up with other young martial artists of the same generation, gave him a deep sense of frustration that slowly gripped his heart. Unconsciously, he clenched the sand and rocks in his hand into a ball.
The young martial artists, after having walked up to the shore, didn’t immediately sit down to meditate. Instead, the took a can of beer from the box beside Qin Fen and chugged it down. They didn’t have any intention to leave anytime soon.
Qin Fen looked at the box of beer beside him and then looked at the young martial artists, who had taken a few cans of beers, and said calmly, “Five bucks a can, don’t forget to pay.”
Yang Lie shook the can of beer in his hand and said, clucking his tongue, “How expensive! Qin Fen, if you were a businessman, you must be an unscrupulous businessman!”
The other young martial artists nodded their agreement earnestly. Then, another person took out a can of beer from the box. Lin Liqiang even chug it down in one go and said, “Come! A toast to the fate that has brought us together! Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
A dozen heroic voices sounded at the beach as the metallic beer cans collided together and the white foam splashed out from the cans.
Chugging the entire beer, everyone threw the empty beer cans in the crate before opening another beer together.
Xue Tian raised the beer can and shouted, “A toast to our dreams! Cheers!”
“To our dreams! Cheers!”
Moonlight, beach, sea, and good friends.
All these brought out the burning passion in their young hearts. Everyone wildly clinked their beer cans and shouted excitedly before chugging the beer down their throats.
Gazing at his cheerful and laughing company, a faint warmth surfaced on Qin Fen’s face. If anyone could recall this scene after ten years, he would be moved for sure!
Kyokushin Genici looked at Qin Fen curiously. Why is everyone still not leaving? It seems everyone is waiting for something? It is this waiting that is making everyone’s lofty sentiments stronger and stronger.
Is it Young Netherworld King – Hades? An intelligent gleam flashed in Kyokushin Genichi’s brain as a look of surprise appeared on his face. Hades is going to fight with Master tonight? That’s right! That must be it! It will be a great blessing to be able to watch a fight between peak experts of the younger generation! No wonder they are so emotional.
Shasha… shasha…
Under the dark curtain of the night, another new silhouette appeared on the beach. Today, Young Netherworld King – Hades was wearing a purple-colored martial attire. His white and smooth as the jade face under the soft moonlight, coupled with the confidence exuding from him gave everyone a sense of inexplicable calmness at first glance.
Hades just stood there, neither saying anything nor making any moves. All the sound that was coming from his side was the rustling of his clothes from the sea breeze. He looked like a traveler enjoying the night view of the seashore.
Not far away, the young policemen, who had never made their presence obvious, gulped nervously at this moment. Yu Xiao even whispered to someone standing by his side, “What do you think, are they going to fight or not?”
“Fight, of course they are going to fight.” Xue Tian blew at the edge of the blade and smiled calmly upon getting a faint vibrational resonance from the blade. “Both of them are waiting for someone, actually both waiting for the same person. Oh!? He is here!”
Xue Tian’s eyebrow twitched ever so slightly as he turned his gaze towards the sky above the sea. Sky!? Kyokushin Genichi was dumbfounded momentarily. Is someone flying over to watch the fight?
“This…”
Kyokushin Genichi looked at the man and woman in the sky, dazed. The man appeared to be in his forties and was holding the girl gently by her waist. Floating high up in the air, he was gazing down at everyone on the beach.
Wukong Technique! According to the legends, it was a state in martial dao where the martial artist had gone through a complete qualitative change! If the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth was said to be a huge qualitative change for a nine-star martial artist, then the Wukong Technique martial artists had gone through even deeper change!
“Qin Fen…”
Song Jia’s limpid eyes flickered with a subtle glow. With her hand crossed together, her cheery lips squeezed out a sweet-bitter smile.
Qin Fen put down the already empty beer can in his hand down as he expelled the alcohol in his system through his pores using true energy oscillation.
True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth made martial artists much far more sensitive to any changes in the body than before. Their senses were heightened to the point that they could sense even the slight impurities in their blood, allowing them to expel them at first notice.
“Old Qin-n-n.” Xue Tian dragged his voice deliberately as he shouted, “Your future father-in-law in here, good luck-k-k.”
“That’s right!”
“Fighting!”
“Qin Fen, you can only lose to me!”
“Qin Fen, the person who is going to defeat must be me, you can’t lose here.”
Naturally, these young men would not be drunk by that small amount of beer. Nonetheless, their chests were filled with unyielding heroic sentiments. Everyone was well aware of Qilin’s order, but no one challenged Qin Fen because of Song Jia.
It wasn’t that they were afraid to lose, rather they felt that Qin Fen didn’t do anything wrong! If Qin Fen was seriously injured and couldn’t accept the challenged for the time being and some people wanted to take advantage of that opportunity, Yang Lie and the others wouldn’t mind beating those people who wanted to take advantage up.
Standpoint, young people had their own standpoint. And they chose to stand by Qin Fen’s side, even if meant going against the legendary Qilin, Song Wendong.
“Sure enough, you have progress. That’s good, very good.”
A faint smile appeared on the handsome face of his, and Young Netherworld King – Hades kept on nodding like a senior appreciating the progress of a younger generation.
Qin Fen’s eyes swept over Young Netherworld King – Hades. “You have also made progress, thank you.”
Thank you!? Young Netherworld King – Hades was taken aback for a moment. Very soon, the bit of a trance in his smile was hidden. He was also extremely intelligent. Qin Fen’s thank you meant that after Qin Fen had defeated him, the young martial artists in the world would not come challenging Qin Fen like flies, returning some semblance of normality to his life.
“I can’t just spar with others casually.” Young Netherworld King raised his chin with pride. “You indeed need to thank me for giving you this opportunity.”
“What’s the point of talking nonsense, let’s fight!”
Qin Fen clenched his fist as the true energy of Dragon Elephant Prajna Art surged to his entire body with a shock, naturally and violently. The moment the bones in his entire body crackled, a surge of true energy soared straight from his dantian to his throat as he let out a long roar, looking at the sky.
This long roar wasn’t over in a jiffy, rather it seemed endless. Also, a peerless aura of power broke out from his body with this long roar. The sand in his vicinity vibrated lightly, should be due to being shaken by this loud roar.
At this moment, the tides were also retreating, giving the impression that they had been pushed back by this long roar.
Taking advantage of the retreating tide, Qin Fen pushed his aura of power to another level. The fight had not even started but an indescribable charm could be found on his arms and feet, as if he was a god.
Song Jia’s face slightly changed. To her surprise, Qin Fen had become this strong in just three months. His entire figure was surrounded by a faint aura that gave the impression that he had the strength to sweep through the entire world.
After the slight surprise, a confident smile surfaced on Song Jia’s face. Judging by Qin Fen’s current strength and aura of power, even if he is up against the Young Netherworld King – Hades, he still won’t lose.
“Don’t smile.” Song Zhenting’s voice lightly rang by Song Jia’s ears. “First, take a look at Hades’ next course of action.”
Qin Fen’s long cry that separated the water and broke the waves inexplicably raised the six-star peak Kyokushin Genichi’s heartbeat as he looked at Qin Fen with shock and admiration. This roar even made twenty-some young policemen’s ears ring continuously, sending their mind in a bit of trance.
The smile on Young Netherworld King – Hades’ face grew. He no longer showed any untoward reaction or surprise. As he had waited for howling Qin Fen for half a minute, the moment his aura of power reached its peak, he took a step forward!
Just a step, but the entire air around Young Netherworld King had completely changed. That smiling face of his turned as cold as steel. His skin and muscles contracted simultaneously as if a burning hot molten had met an extremely cold gust of air solidified it in the blink of an eye. Immediately, specks of light started to glow on several locations on his body, one after another. That was the unique glossiness that would only appear when the Dazzling World Brillant Stars was pushed to the limit of eleven-star.
“Qin Fen, can you also marry the proud daughter of heaven?”
Young Netherworld King laughed proudly before suddenly stopping. Just as he stopped laughing, the temperature of the surroundings dropped by thirty percent.
The same time Hades closed his mouth, he stepped his one leg into the sand as his body became like a pressed spring. Then, with a sudden heave of his chest, he flew out like a sharp arrow, blowing away the sand around him. Everywhere he stepped, only his toes touched the ground. He was like a dragonfly, kissing just the surface of the water. The distance of less than a hundred meters was completely eliminated with this speedy Strong Bow movement technique.
Legs Absolute! The peerless feet technique created by White Tiger! It was used to move on the surface. It was as fast as lightning itself! The sand kicked by Young Netherworld King at the beginning had yet not settled when he arrived before Qin Fen.
With Legs Absolute that was as fast as lightning, Hades had appeared less than two meters away from Qin Fen. The muscles of his palm squirmed into a knife as he stabbed this palm.
This palm was devoid of any strange changes, it was just a sudden attack! He was like an ancient general riding on a horse on a battlefield, aiming at the head of a general who was a thousand li away! Hades’ palm stab was also targeting Qin Fen’s throat!
Naturally, the impact force of White Tiger’s unique strength of Legs Absolute wasn’t small! This charge was so fast that it only left a series of afterimages in the eyes of Kyokushin Genichi. His brain wasn’t even able to process it for a short while.
Hades’ movement technique was the most praiseworthy. It was such a firm and fierce movement technique yet the aura it carried along with it was in no way endlessly explosive or overbearing. All the aura seemed to be concentrated around his body, forming a huge blade that was filled with lethal airflow that forcefully ripped apart Qin Fen’s aura of power that was elevating with his howl.
In the blink of an eye, Young Netherworld King – Hades’ martial dao aura erupted from his body. Having the martial dao of slaughter meant killing even the Gods and devils if they ever blocked his or her road of pursuit! Hades’ Heart Excising Hand swished through the air as the fine hairs on his body shot out like cold arrows.
This thrust of Hades didn’t seem to need to actually cut Qin Fen’s neck. Just the gales of winds from his palm were sharp enough to behead Qin Fen. The swishing cold arrows could also turn Qin Fen into a hedgehog.
Fierce!
Song Jia drew a breath of cold sea breeze in. Much to her surprise, Young Netherworld King – Hades was even fierce than the rumors! Even the prominent figures of the younger generation would not be able to take on this lethal palm at Young Netherworld King’s age.
Song Zhenting wasn’t surprised like Song Jia. He was only watching the decisive battle on the beach with rapt interest.
Finally, Qin Fen responded to this sudden thrust of Young Netherworld King – Hades that could kill Gods and extinguish devils.
Just as Qin Fen stopped howling, he slightly sunk his waist as he pulled his head back fiercely and turned his waist half a step towards the right, just escaping the sudden thrust that could even cut through steel itself! At the same time, his shoulder shook as his right hand suddenly shot out like a switchblade. The muscles of his fingers were already taut to the limit. His hand, similar to Butcher’s Heart Excising Hand, had appeared under Young Netherworld King – Hades’ ribs like a sinistrous snake.
Qin Fen retaliated in kind! Qin Fen’s attack wasn’t as firm and fierce as before, rather, it was similar to Young Netherworld King – Hades’ martial dao of slaughter. Only, this martial dao of slaughter was a bit more sinistrous.
If one looked at it carefully, he or she would discover that this sinister attack was even a bit more dreadful. There was a move hidden behind it. And that was if Qin Fen was somehow not able to pierce the heart behind the ribs, Qin Fen could attack Young Netherworld King – Hades’ rear with his turn!
No matter how much the Gold Absolute had tempered Hades’ body, he may not be able to temper the anus, that incomparably soft location! If would be an extremely huge challenge to temper it compared to any other part of the body!
Bursting Chrysanthemum Hand! This was the dreadful trick that Vile King – Zeng Yicheng had once used in his spar against Qin Fen in the dream realm.
Qin Fen did not use the heavy martial dao, but rather the same martial dao of slaughter as Young Netherworld King – Hades. Furthermore, he had increased the dreadfulness in it, which surprised every martial artist present at the beach.
Even martial dao expert Song Zhenting hovering in the air could not help but raise his eyebrow, staring at Qin Fen with a strange gaze. Qin Fen had suddenly changed his style and without a shred of disharmony at that, as if he had been using this battle style all the while. More importantly, there was an indescribable dreadfulness in it. How can this guy muster a different martial dao on his body?
The martial dao wasn’t an already built highway so that anyone could run on it as they wish. When a martial artist entered a martial dao of his choosing, he usually needed the guidance of a martial dao teacher.
Only geniuses could explore their own road of martial dao. But no matter how much of a prodigy a genius was, it was still impossible for him to explore three or more road of martial dao at the same time!
When Young Netherworld King – Hades thrust his palm out, his mental state reached a level that was extremely difficult to enter normally. His entire blood started seething with an intense murderous intent. Each and every cell of his was excited to take Qin Fen’s life! If he couldn’t kill Qin Fen today, that killing intent in his heart would not be abated regardless of the fact whether he won today. This would certainly become an obstacle to his future martial arts.
However, this terrifying killing intent became a powerful driving force for his explosive strength!
When Young Netherworld King – Hades fought with Death Omen, his martial dao was pushed to another level. But as far as he was concerned, it was still not enough! Because that fight didn’t let him break through to the twelve-star level!
The pressure from Death Omen was simply insufficient! It was far from enough! He needed a breakthrough to step further into the twelve-star level to proclaim to the martial artists of the entire world that Young Netherworld King – Hades was the world’s top young expert! Shangguan Chuanqi wasn’t worthy to be equally famous as him!
He needed a breakthrough to become another miracle after the legendary Azure Dragon!
There had always been only one miracle in the legends of every generation! If Shangguan Chuanqi became a miracle, then what about him?
Qin Fen’s use of the Vile King’s Monkey King Picking Chrysanthemum was as fast as a shooting star. As he stretched his fingers out, it gave the impression that they would tear apart the fabric of time and space itself.
Even a powerful martial artist of eleven-star level would be seriously injured under this move, if not dead! As for an ordinary eleven-star level martial artist, he would be dead in the blink of an eye for sure.
Young Netherworld King only had excitement in his eyes, there weren’t any fear or surprise whatsoever. He had no time to be surprised by the fact that Qin Fen’s martial dao turned out to be his martial dao of slaughter. Even if he could dodge the oncoming offense, he didn’t do it. His other hand, like a rocket launched from the ground or a Golden Finch after a mantis, pecked at Qin Fen’s oncoming wrist as his sharp fingers formed a Crane Hand!
In the blink of an eye, Young Netherworld King’s five fingers transformed into a Crane’s beak and rushed forward like a crane piercing the belly of a snake using his long and sharp beak.
“What a perfect Tiger and Crane Combination! Even after he has learned advanced fist technique, he had not forgotten those cheap ancient fist technique. He has incorporated all of them into his martial dao. As expected of Young Netherworld King!”
In the most critical moment, Qin Fen was secretly praising Young Netherworld King – Hades in his heart. Meanwhile, his arm rapidly changed as his whole arm turned soft and boneless. His five fingers parted as he directly tried to grab Young Netherworld King – Hades’ wrist like a snake exposing his fangs as it stormed towards the Crane’s legs before biting the Crane’s neck!
Phoenix ultimate skill – Snake Biting the Sword!
