Chapter 467 - In A Mere Single Move! (1/2)
The strength of the sixteen-star was suddenly reduced to fifteen-stars the moment the battle began. The battle intent gathered by the four martial dao masters were once again scattered in an instant.
Chi Lei’s eyebrows were raised high, both of his hands emitting flickering true energy with the temperature of a magma heat. The energy flickered like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any time by a slight breeze.
“Kid, what do you mean?” Chi Lei’s voiced out his strong dissatisfaction hoarsely, his anger fueled every word from his mouth.
The other three martial dao masters remained silent and only expressed their dissatisfaction through their expressions. The Furinkazan formation would not be used on a martial dao master of the same level, as it was only used in battles against higher star-levels.
Qin Fen’s sixteen-star strength naturally had no problems and was qualified enough for the Furinkazan formation to be used on him. However, lowering his sixteen-star level to fifteen-stars was clearly an insult in the eyes of everyone!
Qin Fen looked at the four angry martial dao masters, his shoulders sank slightly and said calmly, “I hope that the seniors here will allow me to use the fifteen-star strength to fight the Furinkazan formation…”
“Insolence!”
Chi Lei raised his voice and interrupted Qin Fen’s words. His constant training of the Magma Art had given him a bad temper. Chi Lei had kept his temper in check for the sake of Song Jia, but as he was repeatedly insulted by Qin Fen, he could no longer stand it. The watered grass below his feet instantly turned into a pile of black ash as a fiery light around him rushed to the top of his head. From afar he looked like a huge red stove.
The green grass enveloped by the red light was burnt into black ash in a blink of an eye. The fertile soil followed suit, as the water in it was swiftly evaporated, causing a dry split a few feet across the soil.
Chi Lei took a deep breath, intensifying the colors of his fiery, red skin. His pupils eventually became red in color, as if his eyes were housing the most precious rubies in the world, shining repeatedly in accordance with his true energy.
As he bent down, the strong and thick spine of his produced sounds as the joints of his spine rubbed against each other. The sound of his rubbing spine became the only sound on the mountain, giving the impression that the bones in his body were being broken.
He bent his waist and legs and the sounds from his spine rose like a thunder. The muscles slightly bulged under his skin as the skin began to gradually glow, like a car that just got a new paint job.
In the darkness, the flaming true energy that brightened up the area around him gave away a surreal feeling — as if he wasn’t a real, living person, but a legendary Balrog.
Qin Fen nodded in admiration at the sight. The martial artists under the divine beasts are indeed outstanding. Martial dao masters were rarely seen in the outside world, yet I’ve already seen four of them at the Qilin Mountain. This Chi Lei that is practicing the Magma Art and the Blazing Blade Technique was also really good. Among the fifteen-stars martial dao masters I’ve encountered, he might be the strongest one.
Chi Lei saw the admiration in Qin Fen’s eyes and sneered a little. Chi Lei slightly moved his body in rhythm with the magma true energy and made a shout that pierced the silent night sky. His raging shout echoed throughout the air in distant lands.
Cooperating with the magma’s true energy, the long whistle formed a gust of fire. Power and spirit infused in every inch of the skin as if it was to be ejected from the pores. The blazing power rose continuously, like a fire demon from the legends.
Chi Lei closed his mouth suddenly, stopping the long whistle that came out of his body. The aura of power that had nowhere to vent was flowing across his body. Chi Lei slammed his big feet into the ground, making an imposing posture; the ground he stomped on had collapsed, with black smoke following the gust of his advance that swept in whichever creatures he passed by.
With just a jump, Chi Lei had already reached in front of Qin Fen. His step shook the earth like a one-tonne heavy cannon shot. His aura was of utmost majesty.
Chi Lei seemed to prefer attacking undeclared. His first strike was in full strength as he spread his arms wide open, channeling the red magma true energy to the exterior of his arms and palms. Both of his arms were like two blazing blades, aiding his resemblance to an ancient general charging with a thousand men; his resemblance was reinforced further with the sudden twist of his wrist that left a faint red mark in the air that his wrists swiped, like a slash wound from slashing his enemies.
Situ Nan’s eyelids and lips were twitching at their corners. Deep down inside he blamed Qin Fen for being too arrogant, which caused him to use Eclipse, an ultimate Blazing Blade Technique that he would only use during a deathmatch.
In just an instant, Chi Lei had released all the skills he had in his life, eliminating the distance between him and Qin Fen and appearing in front of him. Chi Lei put his palms together, absorbing the magma true energy into his body. The bright red light of his body intensified, as he sliced his palms down to Qin Fen like a polearm, causing a bright slashing shadow as if its a real saber.
Heaven and earth!
Suddenly, Chi Lei raised his aura power and strength to the extreme from the violent screaming to the strike, converting the Eclipse to Heaven and Earth to form an ultimate hit! He had achieved the most perfect form that his martial dao could potentially achieve.
This combination of Heaven and Earth was more perfect than the Taebaek fist of Bae Seong-Joon at the Hallasan, as the targeting was more accurate and brutal.
Feeling the burning power in front of him, Qin Fen remained in his lunging posture. He formed an arc with his arms like vines around a tree, he did not use any offensive abilities like the Dragon Cannon, but rather the technique he saw during the battle between the Master and Song Wendong at the Qilin Peak — the entangling techniques from the Lord of Entanglement, Hui Yichan, “Entanglement”!
With the move by Qin Fen, the fierce and blazing battlefield softened up a little. Qin Fen blocked “Heaven and Earth” with his left hand while reinforcing the deflection with his right hand on his left hand while turning it clockwise.
The ferocious Heaven and Earth of Chi Lei were seemingly blocked by a minor force. Chi Lei’s heart felt worse than having his move being blocked by an arm, as if the entanglement did not tangle his fist, but rather his heart.
