Chapter 422 - The Great Battle on the Blade Tips (1/2)

Chapter 422: The Great Battle on the Blade Tips

Mountain of Blades was one of the most unique arenas of Sacred Martial Hall. Many martial artists who had been at the Sacred Martial Hall for many years had not even realized that there was such a thing here.

Usually, Mountain of Blade was only ever used once every few years. This was also the reason why many martial artists were ignorant of its existence.

Only when Qin Fen was standing before the Mountain of Blades, which was a thousand meter in diameter, did he discover that this arena was completely made of knives. Perhaps there were a thousand knives, or maybe even tens of thousands.

When the young martial artists who had followed them here gazed at the quiet and serene Mountain of Blades, all of them drew a breath of cold air almost at the same time so forcefully they felt their lungs go cold.

Tens of thousands of gleaming sabers quietly stood erect, forming a chill that stabbed straight into everyone’s soul.

No one needed to stand on this special ring, just a glance from the distance was enough for everyone to feel the chilling sensation in those blades.

Gazing at the Mountain of Blades before their eyes, some relatively strong martial artists even seemed to be hallucinating under its influence.

As far as they were concerned, those blades were alive! They seemed to be cheering in excitement, eager for a fierce battle to take place on them.

Martial Madman took off his shoes and lightly jumped ahead, standing on the sharp tip of the blades.

Much to everyone’s surprise, there wasn’t even a single trace of aura from his body between this jump and his landing. His movement was so peaceful. But when Qin Fen saw it, it was like a sword thrusting at him.

Caesar and the others also knit their brows together. The movement technique used by the Martial Madman may seem ordinary but they could still recognize that it was a movement technique with tiger form.

Whenever a tiger made a move, it was always domineering. But Martial Madman didn’t seem even a bit domineering. On the contrary, he displayed another kind of tiger.

Calmness; the calmness of the tiger, the king of all the beast kings no matter what enemy it was facing.

The calm before the attack and the aggression during the attack, both of showed the spirit of the king of the jungle.

Qin Fen had sparred with many martial arts using similar tiger form martial arts since he had started practicing martial arts, but none of them could be compared with the Martial Madman before him.

Most of the people who had practiced tiger forms could only practice the skin of the tiger. Very few could truly practice the spirit of the tiger.

This Martial Madman had not only practiced the tiger spirit but he had also practiced the tiger bones! The moment he stepped to make the long jump, Qin Fen clearly saw Martial Madman – Nash’s spine moving up and down just like the back of a tiger.

When drawing a painting of a tiger, it was hard to draw bones while drawing its skin!

The same was true of practicing martial arts as well! Many people’s tiger claw had been practiced to the extent that it was so hard that it was impossible to depress it, but it was truly difficult to practice a tiger’s spine.

Humans were the only creatures on earth who could stand and walk on two legs. And also because of this, the human spine was the worst of all spinal organisms on earth; it was the only one that could get the cervical spondylosis.

The creator gave felines the best spine in the world. The impact force they could bear was several times more a human spine could, even tens or hundreds of times more.

The current Martial Madman seemed like a tiger in human skin to Qin Fen.

Standing in the crowd, Asura – Fennghua Danyun nodded, again and again. This jump and landing indeed have the might of a tiger.

Having learned from Martial Madman, Qin Fen gently took off his shoes and jumped on the blade tips which could easily slice the human body.

Standing barefoot on the blade tips did not garner praises from the young martial artists. Even those sword maidens of the State of Korea and very old stuntmen could easily do this. This should be nothing to the young martial artists who could enter the Sacred Martial Hall.

The young martial artists knew that the real test would only come when both sides really started fighting.

Both sides were fifteen-star martial artists; the impact from every move they make would quake the ground and blow off dust constantly if they were on the ground.

Whereas on the Mountain of Blades, the one bearing the brunt were the blade tips, which was completely different from standing still on a flat surface.

At the sight of Qin Fen jumping on the blade tips, an indifferent smile flickered in Nash’s red eyes. “Dragons are just a figment of imaginations. Instead of pursuing something illusionary, why not pursue a real king. Chasing something fake will turn people into a fake. And naturally, their martial dao would also become even faker.”

The young people nodded in agreement subconsciously when they heard Nash’s words. For a moment, they felt that the cultivation of their martial art had advanced after having heard these few words.

Qin Fen felt a chill coming from the blade tips under his feet and he grew inexplicably excited. “The reason mankind has developed so far is that we have been pursuing those illusionary and imaginary things. If we only pursued real and existing things, our society would still be in its primitive state. How would have it been so prosperous? If there are no dragons in the world, then I will become a dragon, then naturally, there will be a true dragon in this world.”

Comparing himself with the true dragon!? The young martial artists were stupified. These words were utterly aggravating but when they came from Qin Fen’s mouth, everyone felt that what he said was very reasonable, not as ridiculous as it sounded.

Nash’s eyes flickered with a fierce gleam. At this moment, he was completely sure that this half junior brother of his was indeed eligible to compete with him; indeed had the qualifications to compete with him for the title of a future divine beast.

Divine beast: never had been there any precedent of two titles at once! At the Great Ensemble, other divine beast martial artists would never accept the runner-up as a divine beast, never ever.

A divine beast was invincible! What qualification and face would someone who had been defeated at the Great Ensemble hold to win the title of a divine beast?

I must win! Nash’s red eyes flickered with a cold gleam, his hair fluttering without any wind!

At this moment, whether it was Martial Madman’s opponent, Qin Fen, or the young martial artists in the audience, they could hear the changes is Nash’s body.

Ba-dump… ba-dump…

His heart was pumping blood with such a pressure that the sound of blood flowing in the veins, sounding like a billowing river, was heard by everyone.

War drums-like heartbeat and river-like blood flow! A magnificent aura like the ancient Battle of Red Cliffs 1 slowly emanated from Martial Madman, resonating with the sharp metallic aura of the tens of thousands of blades, his aura of power continued to climb more and more!

Suddenly, the Martial Madman was so vigorous before the battle that his eyes were glowing with red gleams repeatedly; apparently, he had decided to fight with everything he had. Even after having reached such a level, if both sides still decided to stay their hands, then it would be a lot better to simply go to the virtual battle net and fight with everything they got, putting the fear of death aside.

The reason why Mountain of Blades was chosen as the battlefield was to incorporate the atmosphere of life and death into their blood and bones instead of treating it like a game.

There was no hatred between the two but both of them wanted to catch a glimpse of the higher-level martial dao, so, they had no choice but to resort to cruelty.

As for the slogan friendship first and competition second… it had already come to an end with the collapse of the organization called the Official Sports Commission.

Qin Fen felt the aura of power of the opposite party sweeping by like it would split the heaven asunder and crack the earth apart the moment Martial Madman burst forth with sudden aggression.

The person standing before him was no longer resembled a human but a real tiger!

That kind of oppression had no form but had a weight behind it. Qin Fen had a feeling that a speeding tank was charging straight at him.

“Nash, thank you from bringing me here to fight on the blade tips.”

In this instance, Qin Fen’s spirit had completely locked on to the Martial Madman; the entire world around him turned black and white, as if it was in a different time and space. The only thing remaining his world was the most outstanding martial artist in the younger generation who was nicknamed the Martial Madman in the Sacred Martial Hall.

The fight was about to start! Qin Fen’s body was like Wu Zun’s that day. His figure suddenly shook as his every joint, every bone, and even every strand of muscle drew a circle!

The instant his body drew the circle with this shake, all his power was also condensed into a rope!
