Chapter 367 - A Fight Between Dragon and Tiger! Dragon Wins and Tiger Loses! (1/2)
Chapter 367: A Fight Between Dragon and Tiger! Dragon Wins and Tiger Loses!
In the hands of Qin Fen, the ultimate skill of Phoenix’s Snake Fists became even more sinistrous. It was no longer limited to just killing and trickiness, it was also incomparably sinistrous.
From the beginning of the battle, the two young experts had entered a life and death combat. This fight wasn’t as simple as a fight to determine the winner and loser.
Caesar wasn’t too surprised by this. Kicks and punches weren’t some dishes and drinks on the table to eat and drink. When both sides were equal in strength, whoever had even a little bit of intention of reserving his strength would be defeated in the blink of an eye and might even lose his life.
The wind produced by Young Netherworld King’s sudden thrust was like a blade aiming straight at Qin Fen’s throat. Immediately after, just as Qin Fen avoided the oncoming thrust, he used the Monkey King Picking the Chrysanthemum hiding it in the Excising Heart From the Ribs. In response, Hades used a backhand thrust aiming at Qin Fen’s wrist using the Immortal Crane Slaughtering the Snake. Immediately, Qin Fen counterattacked at Hades’ wrist by using the Snake Biting the Sword.
In this lightning-fast exchange, neither side actually touched the other. And neither was there any fierce collision. More importantly, this fight was even riskier than last night’s battle with Dark Omen. In the blink of an eye, the hearts of every onlooker started pounding madly as they kept on screaming in their minds.
At the sight of the instantaneous switch of offense and defense, goosebumps exploded all over Chen Feiyu’s body. Originally, he believed that his strength would be infinitely close to Qin Fen’s after the Blood Transfusion Rebirth. He didn’t expect that when these two made their moves for real, their moves would be devoid of any earth-shattering commotion, yet they made people’s hearts tremble.
Xue Tian, on the other hand, tightened his grip on the hilt. The usual smile on his face could not be found anymore. Battle intent was slowly creeping underneath his skin. Even Song Zhenting in the air glanced at him. The other young martial artists distanced themselves from him subconsciously.
Only Lin Ling seemed completely oblivious to Xue Tian’s battle intent. Her face looked as calm as usual. However, a little bit of emotion that could not be found usually was apparent on her forehead, the emotion called “worry”.
This worried look was completely different from that perfect worried face of the past, it appeared more real.
Aoooo…
Finally, Young Netherworld King – Hades lashed out facing Qin Fen’s sinistrous Snake Biting the Sword!
A soul-stirring howl burst out from his throat, a furious roar of a tiger filled with dreadful bloodlust! At the same time, Crane’s beak opened and transformed into a Tiger’s claw. The muscles at the back of his hand squirmed again as he clawed down! His sharp fingernails shone with metallic luster as they popped out like the claws hidden inside the paws of a tiger, plunging straight towards the opened snake mouth of Qin Fen’s palm!
The sharp Immortal Crane Slaughtering the Snake turned into the claw of a tiger, the king of the mountain forest, tearing everything in its path!
White Tiger didn’t get his title in vain. His Fists Absolute was all-inclusive, claws, palm, fingers, and whatnot. All kinds of tiger fists were integrated into it.
Hades’ quick counter with Tiger Rend gave everyone the impression that he had already thought in advance how to deal with Qin Fen’s Snake Biting the Sword.
The moment Hades used the Tiger Rend, the veins at the back of Hades’ hand bulged like a thin and dense mesh of wire. The terror and disgust of his entire palm could not be explained with mere words, but the wrinkled skin glistened with a metallic gloss!
How hard and sharp was the Heart Excising Hand after it had been strengthened by Gold Absolute!? Hades was confident that this palm could even pierce through a steel plate, let alone Qin Fen’s palm!
“Amazing!”
Looking at Hades’ eyes, Song Zhenting’s eyes flickered with appreciation and the corners of his lips rose a bit as he praised. Such a skillful play at his age! No wonder he is rumored to be standing at the peak of the younger generation.
How is Qin Fen going to counterattack? Can that strange protective divine art of his bear the piercing attack of Heart Excising Hand that has been strengthened by Gold Absolute? Song Zhenting’s eyes flickered with anticipation. One of the reasons that he came here today was that he wanted to find out what the protective cultivation art Qin Fen was using was.
Hades’ star-class was a bit higher than Qin Fen, but when it came to martial senses and physical strength, Qin Fen was obviously stronger. As everyone began to pay more attention to Qin Fen, everyone came to the conclusion that both sides were neck and neck with each other in combat experience. Song Zhenting also didn’t dare to make any bold assertion as to who was going to win or lose at the end of the day.
Just as Hades used the Tiger Rend, Qin Fen’s eyebrow twitched as his pupils flickered with a lightning glow. Immediately after, he heard a tiger roar coming from Hades’ throat and just as his roar was at the peak, he heard a metallic sound coming from underneath Young Netherworld King’s skin. It was the sounds of impact between his muscles and bones which sounded like pieces of metals lightly striking against each other.
If Ge Bing attached metal externally to his body, then Young Netherworld King’s Gold Absolute was like turning his entire body into a huge piece of metal!
From the beginning of the battle, both sides had fully pushed their strength to the peak. They were putting their lives on the line with their every move. Apart from trying to quickly end the battle, they were also competing who was going to unleash his entire strength first!
And it was Young Netherworld King – Hades who really did it. His entire strength had fully erupted at this moment. While he was already attacking with the Tiger Rend, his other arm was also in motion like a tiger’s tail, ready to sweep any moment!
Young Netherworld King was well aware that he wasn’t as strong as Qin Fen for sure, regardless of whether it was the news report judging or that punch from the night where he had broken all of Death Omen’s bones into pieces. Qin Fen was like a human-shape road roller, anything that was blocking his way would be flattened by him!
Only he didn’t expect that Qin Fen would use such a combat style today. All the preparation he had made had come to naught, until the moment he had used the Tiger Rend. He knew that although it was somewhat different than he had expected, he still threw the prepared counterattack to take the upper hand.
Hades’ special means of combat could be said to be a long-standing blow. His Tiger Rend gave rise to strong gales of wind that were as sharp as knives and swords. Qin Fen felt as if he was standing on an ancient battlefield surrounded by archers shooting at him.
Everything in this short exchange was just for this blow! Hades believed Qin Fen could only retreat facing this blow! So long as the ten-star Qin Fen had a peerless momentum, so long as he stepped back, his punch would be broken and the fight would end in a very short time!
Even an eleven-star peak martial artist would choose to retreat in such a close space encounter! There were not many people in the world who could immediately raise their strength and exchange blows with Young Netherworld King – Hades in such a small space.
Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
A series of that word quickly resonated through everyone’s mind!
No!
Qin Fen converged his opened fingers as a similar long cry soared from his throat. Immediately, the murderous intent around him exploded as that world’s momentum in his aura of power gushed out from his body.
Qin Fen’s fist momentum changed as the true energy in his body climbed to the limit. Hades’ skin made loud popping noises as his muscles sprung up with Tiger Fists completely!
The time a martial artist took to completely play out his maximum strength was an important scale to measure who was stronger and who was weaker. Young Netherworld King – Hades was the first one to finish. His pupils were filled with a beastly radiance. The onlookers in the distance felt that Qin Fen wasn’t facing a human but rather a ferocious tiger in a forest.
When the tiger moved, the entire forest trembled!
When Hades made his move, his killing aura, which was mixed with the ferocity of a beast, had completely erupted! Suddenly, a different scene sprang up before Qin Fen’s eyes, giving him the illusion that he was standing in a jungle, facing a real tiger.
Hades’ tiger roar resounded again and again, non-stop. As his claws cut through the air, they left traces of airflow that were visible to the naked eyes like it was a sheet of paper. The powerful Gold Absolute tiger claw covered all the vital points on Qin Fen’s brain, throat, and shoulder.
White Tiger’s Tiger King Frenzy!
Song Zhenting’s eyes went wide with incredulity. To his surprise, Hades could push the White Tiger Frenzy with just the strength of the eleven-star level! That was White Tiger’s bold and fierce finishing move that forcibly merged the swiftness and violence of ancient fist technique, creating a short burst of pure true energy. Each blow could break the stone and cut the metal!
Hades wasn’t as powerful as Divine Beast, White Tiger. Although the strength of White Tiger Frenzy was reduced an awful lot, it wasn’t any weaker among the eleven-star martial artists. Hades’ firm and fierce claw clawed towards Qin Fen’s head.
Qin Fen’s bones and muscles continuously thundered with his long howl. Qin Fen raised his hand to block the Tiger Claw using Cloud Hands. When Hades’ tiger claw grasped towards Qin Fen’s ribs, Qin Fen’s left hand pressed on Tiger Claw with White Crane Spread Its Wings. Immediately, taking advantage of the momentum, Hades’ five fingers slammed towards Qin Fen’s abdomen as his other tiger claw slammed towards Qin Fen’s throat.
White Tiger Frenzy that could break the stone and cut the metal was as endless as the sea. In the blink of an eye, the air burst continuously as the splashing energy blew the sand on the beach everywhere.
At this moment, Young Netherworld King – Hades was showing the strength and style of the top expert of Venus’ younger generation. He was attacking with his every move, trying to take the lead!
On Venus, he was invincible. Then, he defeated Death Omen, and now, he was fighting the top expert of Earth’s younger generation. He poured all his essence, energy, and spirit into this battle. Young Netherworld King – Hades was playing with his strongest strength since his debut.
Song Zhenting’s eyes flickered with surprise again and again. White Tiger Frenzy, an attack that could topple the mountains and overturn the seas, was unable to force Qin Fen to take even half a step back!
“The children of this generation… are really exciting.”
Song Zhenting was slightly touched. Young Netherworld King – Hades’ lethal and endless attacks seemed to be drawn by Qin Fen’s arms and feet as he switched from soft Tai Chi at the beginning to hardness.
How could it be that easy to combine hardness with softness!? He can even switch softness to hardness in the blink of an eye! Song Zhenting slightly nodded his acknowledgment. Only a few people could do it at such a young age.
Qin Fen’s mind went blank. Young Netherworld King – Hades, this opponent with unending killing intent is really the strongest opponent I have faced since I started training in martial arts. His energy of Gold Absolute is even more than what I had expected. Every clash with him feels like I am hitting the hardest metal. The hard skin at the back of my hand should have been torn by the tiger claws by now.
Even after having caught up in Young Netherworld King – Hades’ style, his battle intent was in no way suppressed, but rather became more and more intense and excited.
“Hades, you have your own inheritance, and I have mine. I will let you see my special inherited martial art!”
As this thought flashed past Qin Fen’s mind, Qin Fen sunk his waist into a horse-riding stance. The sand on the beach flew three meters high up in the air, shrouding the two completely inside!
Suddenly, Hades felt that he was standing inside a strange environment. Qin Fen before him suddenly seemed as vast as an ocean. Are you going to make your finishing move?
Rather than feeling afraid, Hades was rejoicing in his heart. He raised his true energy again as his tiger roar and Qin Fen’s dragon roar clashed with each other, continuously. Even the seawater at the distance was pushed back by the shockwaves as ripples after ripples appeared on it! Hades stretched his five fingers as he promptly raised his hand, smacking it towards Qin Fen’s head from above. Swishes and howls appeared in the air as if a piece of cloth was being ripped and a suona was blown.
Although this claw attack couldn’t really inflict injuries. The true energy mixed in with wind was spurting out of his finger visible to the naked eyes. The skin of ordinary people might even be cut by these winds from his fingers. And his killing intent was as if it would tear apart Qin Fen’s energy field.
Facing Hades’ Tiger Rend, Qin Fen wasn’t startled, not even a bit. He flipped his palm from inside to outside as true energy bursting from his body caused the clothes on his body to flap. The sand blown into the air had not settled before even more sand was blown into the air again! Roars of sea waves resounded amidst the cloud of sand!
