Chapter 64 - Hunting First Place (2/2)
As he entered this chaotic battle, Qin Fen’s martial senses gave him a feeling of discomfort. Anybody could make a move in an instant all around him, and his nerves would always react. He felt as if everyone in his surroundings was attacking him.
No wonder Butcher had said that going into true battle was completely different from training! Qin Fen had quite some feelings of lament for a period of time, as he unleashed the Dragon Guard time and time again. He dodged past the attacks of several people, approaching the center of the circle as rapid speed.
Soon, the most important person in the circle, the person in first place, Immortal of the Small Fist, had noticed Qin Fen.
Feeling the gaze shoot over, Qin Fen simply rolled into a sorry position as he dodged the attack. A hint of embarrassment flashed on his face.
Immortal of the Small Fist had orginally wanted to scream for help and have others get rid of Qin Fen, but he immediately felt exultation when he saw Qin Fen in such a sorry state and be so timid. He slid with his feet, bringing his body right before Qin Fen. His hands crossed quickly, the vibrating force of his palm strikes causing the air to ring.
Monkey Form!
His movement was like that of a rogue or scoundrel. Even bricks would shatter to dust if struck by his palms!
Qin Fen’s eyes lit up as he lay on the ground. He didn’t get up. He simply kicked out, his leg akin to a scorpion’s tail that smashed directly toward Immortal of the Small Fist’s skull!
This kick was different from his previous kicks, which generated fierce gales of wind. Qin Fen’s kick was near silent and undetectable, striking like lightning just like the killing blow from a scorpion. It crossed the space before Immortal of the Small Fist in an instant, smashing into his forehead.
Bang! Crack!
Immortal of the Small Fist didn’t even have the time to scream for help. His skull simply shattered to pieces, and his body collapsed to the ground like a broken leather shoe.
Qin Fen told himself how lucky he was when with this successful strike. The Monkey Form was originally a single palm strike. Immortal of the Small Fist had wanted to show off, changing it into a dual twisting palm strike, increasing its power and might but complicating it. Immortal of the Small Fist wanted to finish Qin Fen off quickly, so he had merely acted too cautiously in this regard. Immortal of the Small Fist really did possess strength. He wasn’t as useless as Leopard Head said.
After eliminating the person in first place, Qin Fen’s score suddenly exploded with points. It had risen by nearly two hundred points in the blink of an eye.
Qin Fen found himself surrounded by twenty people. He didn’t dare tarry for a second. He launched himself using his calf in Leopard Head’s direction.
Leopard Head roared as he saw Qin Fen break out from the encirclement. He pushed through his injuries and forcefully pushed back two three-star warriors. At the same time, his chest firmly withstood an iron fist from a different opponent.
Qin Fen had made it over to Leopard Head by now. When Leopard Head took the punch, Qin Fen used a single palm strike to shatter the skull of the person attacking Leopard Head before charging out from the encirclement.
Only a couple seconds had passed from the initial ambush to the actual kill. Only now were there some people who realized that their first placer had died and that the ambusher had charged out from the circle of combat.
“After him!”
Everyone who was in the chaotic battle stopped fighting against one another. All of them, except Leopard Head, began to chase the current person with the highest score, Qin Fen.
Though the War God Arena had allowed the top one hundred experts to teleport, this teleport could only be done outside of a combat state. One couldn’t teleport in the middle of combat. This was to stop people like Qin Fen from instantly teleporting after a kill and other shameless actions.
Fifty or so people were chasing them from behind. The scene of Qin Fen running far ahead was spectacular to Leopard Head’s eyes. This time he didn’t have any contempt towards Qin Fen for running away.
To be firm and fierce didn’t mean being stupid. If Leopard Head was in Qin Fen’s shoes, he would make the same choice. After all, how could a single three-star beat a group of three-stars?
