Chapter 460 - Intense Battle of Fifteen Minutes (Part Three) (1/2)
Hard-pressed! For the first time since both sides started fighting, Qilin was pushed to the end of his rope. But no one could make out any expression on his battle-hardened face; no one was able to peek a glance into his thoughts and emotions even when he kept on retreating, again and again.
The full strength of the Great Sage Wreaking Havoc in Heaven was brought out by Master very easily. Furthermore, it was faster than Qin Fen’s. Master’s every kick, punch, palm attack, finger flick was firmer and fiercer than Qin Fen’s. Master’s each and every move was aiming for Qilin’s vital points. Just the pressure from every punch, wind from his every palm was strong enough to blast any other martial dao master of the same level. The penetrating and explosive force behind every attack was equal to the barrage of a multi-warhead missile.
BANG BANG BANG…
Master clawed at Song Wendong’s throat. Qilin raised his elbow and diverted it with it immediately. Master turned his Eagle Claw into a palm knife, coming down straight towards Qilin’s kidney point following along the momentum. Immediately, Song Wendong used White Crane Spreads its Wings from the Twenty-Four Styles of Simplified Tai Chi and dealt with it with his left hand. Immediately after, Master brought the five fingers of his left arm together to take the form of a drill before he thrust it towards Qilin’s heart with the shake of his shoulder. At the same time, he raised his right knee and smashed it towards Qilin’s waist suddenly, leaving Song Wendong no choice but to retreat again.
An inter-linked barrage of Great Sage Wreaking Havoc in Heaven’s claw strikes, palm strikes, finger stabs, kicks, and punches broke out like a tempest storm. The entire chain of attacks seemed to have no order or rule, it perfectly displayed the meaning of Havoc. In the blink of an eye, Song Wendong retreated a total of eight times!
Master, who had been silent for too long, had finally left behind his elegance completely with his battle intent. His entire series of moves seemed to be driven by a fervent battle intent, displaying the super grandmaster-level of the black hole realm!
In the blink of an eye, Qilin was forced to retreat ten steps back!
At this moment, divine beast – Qilin’s deep foundation had spurred much of Master’s excitement. After the outbreak of Great Sage Wreaking Havoc in Heaven, he soon entered a kind of battle state where he forgot himself.
Generally, Master and Qin Fen were engaged mostly in discussions. Master didn’t get many chances to have actual hands-on experience. Qin Fen was someone who understood fully how refreshing a hands-on experience really was. Song Wendong could be said to be one of the best opponents for Master.
God knows for how long he had been this lonely. The more he watched Qin Fen fight, the more he was unable to bear the itch in his heart. Finally, Master had the chance to fight. As such, ordinary people could hardly imagine the majestic firmness and fierceness of his every attack!
Song Wendong had poured his complete concentration into this confrontation. He had never thought the fight with Qin Fen would become such an important one. He simply couldn’t predict Qin Fen’s attacks after Qin Fen woke up. Qin Fen’s wild battle intent with that free and unrestrained style gave the feeling of an eruption, as if a volcano that had been suppressed for a long, long time had suddenly erupted!
Qilin maintained his strength at the fifteen-star level but he had already forgotten about victory and defeat. He even forgot that there were people watching the fight. His entire concentration was on Qin Fen. He had poured all his boxing techniques, spirit, and martial arts into this fight.
As their kicks and punches clashed with each other, Qilin felt the martial dao of his entire life begin to sublime!
The nearby Steward Hou’s eyes flickered with endless surprise. Originally, he believed that Qin Fen, after waking up, would be defeated again very soon after he had passed Qilin’s test. But he had never imagined that this youth’s furious counterattack after waking up would push the Earth Martial God to the end of his rope, where he could do nothing but defend! The most surprising thing was that his master seemed to have made a breakthrough. And this breakthrough was all because of Qin Fen’s crazy attack.
Qilin, no matter how much he had suppressed his star-class, should have been one of the strongest martial artists of any level. This was the consensus of almost all the martial artists in the world. Only other divine beasts were strong enough to fight with Qilin.
However, today… Steward Hou had no choice but to admit that there were indeed freaks in this world who could push even the divine beast-level martial artist of the same star-class to his rope’s end!
“What a disorderly boxing style, what a fierce momentum. Is this Qin Fen’s instinctive martial strength?” Song Zhenting released an aura shield, blocking the spurting pieces of rocks and waves of energy. Master’s overspreading kicks and punches gave him the impression of a monkey charging against the Heavenly Palace with an iron stick in his hand. He could not help but want to go and weigh Qin Fen.
A series of thoughts flashed in Song Wendong’s empty mind. It seems I have really underestimated this young man called Qin Fen! However, the fiercer he is now, the worse his previous assessment seems to be! On the second thought, he seems to have barely passed the recent assessment.
Even though Song Wendong retreated a hundred steps back, Song Wendong felt the shackles of his stagnant martial arts finally loosen up fighting this battle. After this fierce fight, he would make a new breakthrough with just a closed-door session!
The farther one walked on the road of martial arts, the harder it was to move forward. Even a slight bit of progress would throw the martial artists of the same level far behind.
A divine beast martial artist could be said to be standing at the peak of martial arts. It was extremely difficult for any divine beast to take even half a step forward on the road of martial arts. It wasn’t a matter of accumulation or closed-door training. Luck became the most important factor in the world.
Qilin may be in the leeward position but he was extremely happy. This temporary leeward situation… is well worth it! It seems my stroke of luck is here!
Song Wendong retreated another hundred steps back; he might be in a leeward position but his aura of power didn’t weaken the slightest because of this, nor was he really convinced. Even if he had reached the point of breakthrough because of this battle intent, Song Wendong would never choose to admit defeat.
Who was Song Wendong!? Qilin! One of the strongest martial artists standing at the apex of this world! A super-level martial artist whose mere sneeze could shake the mountain and the earth! A person who could completely ignore the Federation army. Someone who was revered as the Earth Martial God! No one could imagine his immense strength, his huge ambitions, the number of battles he had fought!
Divine beast – Qilin! What a title, what aspirations!
He had never lost! Song Wendong had never been defeated since the day he had started walking on the road of martial arts! Even today, Qilin didn’t believe that he would experience defeat!
“Qilin will not lose!”
Just as this prideful thought flashed in Qilin’s mind, the retreating Song Wendong planted his feet on the ground, no longer retreating even a step back!
“Not going to retreat! Very good!”
Master had unleashed a full barrage of his kicks and punches as he pushed his aura of power to his peak. The aura energy in his body was seething non-stop. When he found that Qilin wasn’t retreating, he was even more excited. He only had fifteen minutes to fight. If he just pushed Qilin to his rope’s end for the entire fifteen minutes, the spectating Qin Fen’s gains would not be that plentiful.
Wouldn’t it be boring if I just press Qilin for a full fifteen minutes and not get to see Qilin’s true martial arts?
No more retreat! I will make my stand! At this moment, the spirit, essence, and strength of Qilin’s sublime martial arts, as well as the infusion of true aura into the body of the fifteen-star level, were condensed together, climbing to an unprecedented peak!
At the same time, all of Song Wendong’s muscles moved! This movement caused the air around his twitching muscles to crackle like the lightning in spring. That martial dao master of the fifteen-star level felt everything go white before his eyes. He wasn’t able to see Qilin making a move clearly. All he could feel was a moist smell on the firm and fierce Qilin Peak like the wet smell before the rain due to the high concentration of moisture in the air.
Qilin’s fish, palm, elbow, knee met Master’s, one after another. His encompassing offense kept on changing like he was spreading a net in the sky to wrap the havocing monkey in it!
A smile spread on Steward Hou’s lips. Master has really made a breakthrough today. He can actually use the Storm-Style of Qilin’s Fists at the fifteen-star level!
