Chapter 20 - The Thunderous Versus the Fitness Exercise (2/2)

Global War Encore had seen the recordings of Qin Fen’s two fights and carefully analyzed them. He was very clear of Qin Fen’s strong points. Qin Fen was extraordinarily strong in close physical combat.

His experience of over a thousand fights told him that the opponent before his eyes had a strength sufficient to enter into the top one-hundred of two-star warriors, even though his opponent only had two recorded fights.

Maintain distance, utilize the advantages of the thunderous swords, and eliminate the opponent!

In normal circumstances, Global War Encore would have fought a spectacular battle with Qin Fen, justly and honorably. But today was different! He had come to help out. He had come to help his friend reclaim his pride. He just needed to win, so it was okay to use the simplest method to do so.

Global War Encore already retreated a distance of a hundred meters, a relatively safe distance. He stopped retreating a looked at Qin Fen with a bit of bafflement. He really didn’t understand why his opponent would let him easily pull away distance.

“The newcomer is going to lose,” One Sword Shocks the Gods stretched his body. “He probably never fought a user of the Thunderous Swords of Yin and Yang. He’s going to get the worst of it.”

Glowing Child of the Wind’s brow wrinkled into a frown as he wished to refute. However, he didn’t know how to refute. In the arena, Global War Encore’s Thunderous Swords of Yin and Yang was put to use in an utterly skillful manner. He truly was a troublesome opponent.

Qin Fen stood relaxed and loose as he adopted the rising stance of the Shaolin Arhat Fist, indicating that he would continue using what others saw as the fitness exercise of fist forms for this fight. The veins of his hands exploded forth, and the joints of his bones crisply crackled, indicating that the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was rapidly circulating through his entire body.

The two sides stood quietly in opposition for a few seconds before Global War Encore was unable to take it. He had come to reclaim pride for his friend, and he wouldn’t be able to seize victory by standing around.

“Soar for me!”

Global War Encore pointed with a sword hand sign, and a thunderous sword pierce through the sky away from him.

This sword was akin to a dragon in the night. The power with which it pierced the sky brought a screaming wind. Qin Fen didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced. With some spinning footwork, the thunderous sword to struck nothing but air before spinning around to go pierce Qin Fen’s back.

The thunderous sword was named to be thunderous not only because its speed was akin to thunder, but because the sword blade itself carried some voltage. Even if an opponent had a technique to catch a blade with bare hands, the moment the opponent would make contact with the thunderous sword, the opponent would suffer from some free electrotherapy before feeling delight.

Victory and defeat was decided in an instant between experts. An electric shock would cause one’s body to be paralyzed. Just a mere half a second of paralysis was enough for an opponent to snatch victory.

Qin Fen didn’t have much experience fighting, but he had written many drafts on fights. He had encountered the thunderous sword before. He knew of its mechanisms, and he knew not to touch it. He continued to stride firmly ahead with spinning footwork. In the time it took to blink a few times, the distance of one hundred meters shrunk to ninety.

Global War Encore’s brow furrowed tight. The other thunderous sword revolving around his body was sent piercing through the air. He had been too conservative just now, sending one sword to attack and leaving one sword to defend. Since one sword was unable to take his opponent’s life, he could only use two swords.

The might of two swords far exceeded the might of a single sword. The two swords danced and entwined in the air, forming a net of light akin to a spider’s web. Weaker martial artists were absolutely unable to tell what were the swords and what were light.

Within the net of light, Qin Fen continued to display the Dragon Guard. The thunderous swords were unable to touch even his clothes, as he continued to make quite the distance forward.
