Chapter 489 - True Madman (1/2)
Sunshine, beaches, lazy tourists, and a leisure life by the seaside. The city of Athens seemed to be lost in its own time, stuck in a slow and comfortable pace of life.
Anger, hatred, chilling murderous intent, and the eternally raging battle intent; like a steel sword scraping through the murals in the promenade. Like the night of the dead, an indescribable, determined battle intent radiated from Solomon. His handsome yet ferocious face emitted fear and darkness, the protruding veins from his forehead and cheeks resembled him to a ghoul from the depths of Hell.
The Solomon family members who had just received the approval documents stood at the door, unable to see the thing that flew past them clearly. They could only feel a huge impact the strength of a typhoon destabilizing their balance as if they were going to be blown away by such a huge impact from the wind.
In addition to the winds, a chilling, murderous intent and a raging battle intent could be felt. The mixture of the cold and heat was as though going back and forth from a heating stove to a freezer, causing the sensation of heavy impact in the chest for those affected. Those with weaker martial strength would spurt out blood from their mouths, with their faces turning into the texture of pale, gold-colored paper; the raging wind would cause tinnitus as well, making them dizzy.
With the raging determination to avenge his murdered parents, Solomon burst his true energy to the extreme instantly, straightening and extending his musculoskeletal structure like a flexible blade. The ability to be flexible in response to pressure radiated an intensified murderous aura, complemented by the collision of air that resembled the clashing of steel.
At that time, Solomon gave the people a special illusion that the punch made was by a Joji Spear made of steel, rather than his arm as it made a thunderous sound that could pass through the sky and break the energy.
Solomon’s pounce resembled a heroic general in ancient times calling upon thousands of cavalrymen to a charge. David Solomon could feel the simplicity in his eyes as the fist slammed down like an artillery barrage, causing the air to be compressed and suffocating everyone in the process! At this very moment there seemed to be no escape from this ordeal in the mortal world.
Avici!
Just like the rest, Asura’s internal cultivation technique also followed the cultivation method modified by Qin Fen. It was based on the secret art Yijin Sutra, in which Qin Fen combined the Marrow Cleansing Tome, True Tome of the Void, The Book of Taixian, The Tome of Emptiness, Samyukta Agama, and the Prajnaparamitahrdaya to form a new secret art — Ten Thousand Truths of Destruction.
The Ten Thousands Truths of Destruction was integrated with the seven major Buddhist internal art. The usage of the internal art should have the natural greatness of the soul. However, nothing of the sort could be found in Solomon, only rather a chilling sense of mourning and grudge.
Avici was inspired by the Eight Layers of Hell in Buddhism. Solomon practiced Qin Fen’s new secret internal art and combined it with the secret arts of the Buddha, referencing from the Eight Layers of Hell to create his unique set of Renouncement Martial Dao – the Eight Styles of Renouncement.
Sanjiva, Kalasutra, Samghata, Raurava, Maharaurava, Tapana, Pratapana, and the deepest level of Hell among the Eight Layers of Naraka, Avici!
Avici was the strongest among the Eight Styles of Renouncement! The fist contained endless suffering in the hellfire prison as if he had the real Avici contained in his fingertips!
Avici was Solomon’s first killer move after training in isolation for many days. In an instant, he released his accumulated power, as well as the killing intent and rage that had long boiled within him; just like how Qin Fen had fought Bae Seong-Joon’s disciple at the Sacred Martial Hall previously.
Meeting your nemesis induced extreme anger. There was no need to glare at each other angrily and denounce each other before going into battle.
No! No procedure at all! Meeting the killer of my parents, my eyes are red and I can’t wait to send him to the real Avici the next second, making him suffer every torture available, and vanquish him from the face of the earth! How will I have the mood to show off and denounce him before the battle?!
No! No denunciations! There is no confrontation either! There is also no need to swear about what to do to the other party! War! The killer of my parents is right in front of me. There can only be one outcome, and that is war!
Avici! The most powerful Avici among the eight styles covered David Solomon’s body as well as the space around him immediately.
“Eh?”
David Solomon’s eyes were narrowed into slits, standing in the same place and putting his right arm up instead of dodging! The grinding and cross-cutting movements were locked on to Solomon’s wrist like the phantoms rushing out from the Avici.
The slash was like the Henglong Framing of the Nine Dragon Fist, yet it was struck with the palm. The slash resembled the Mountain Decapitation Technique from the State of Japan. At the same time, it also looked more like the Rolling Dragon Strike from the Blade of Broken Commandments.
David Solomon’s first move was to incorporate several martial arts into his personal theorizations. The power stemmed from the Henglong Framing, with the landing blow simple and clear — focused on hitting the channeling nodes on the wrist with the Rolling Dragon Strike from the Blade of Broken Commandments. The phantom-like blade technique was in turn taken from the State of Japan’s Mountain Decapitation Technique.
Although he was crazy, the martial dao grandmaster of the seventeen-star class was indeed a martial dao grandmaster of seventeen-star class that was able to combine three types of martial arts techniques into something completely new. A gloomy and chilling amputation technique was charged in his fingertips, poised to strike! He aimed to disable Solomon’s wrists before Solomon was able to cast Avici to his head.
If Solomon insisted on doing things his own way by taking on the fist, then he would have a broken wrist, or even an amputated palm before he could hit David’s head. If that happened, a re-attaching surgery might be needed, and the recovered palm could only be used to hold chopsticks instead of killing people.
Pa pa...
The true energy from Solomon’s Avici was crackling and exploding. The difference in power and experience was perfectly embodied at this very moment.
The mighty power contained the merciless fist from the sand dunes, impacting Solomon’s body from his right side. For a moment it was as if the whole temple was transported into a boundless desert, with the raging sun baking the temple; the history of the desert that spanned millennia was unleashing its wrath toward David Solomon.
A high pitched dragon screech caused tremors throughout the temple! The martial artists outside the temple vomited blood and fainted on the spot after taking on the screech.
This is? David Solomon’s scalp twitched, a mighty fist of sixteen-star power appeared suddenly. If this strike continued to cut Solomon’s palm, his overbearing Dragon Cannon would destroy his throat.
Facing the sudden fist, David Solomon was unable to anticipate its power. Even with the Divine Shielding Art of seventeen-star, he could not directly take the blow from a sixteen-star. This was because the martial dao master behind this fist didn’t only use his strength of a sixteen-star level, he had also activated his biochemical beast!
Dragon cannon! Qin Fen’s fastest and strongest martial arts technique! Compared with the mighty power of Investiture of the Gods, it was slightly weaker, but because of the strengthened of the counter-attack, it had become the best way to break through in speed!
This was not a battle! This was killing! It’s a matter of life and death! How would Qin Fen let his guard down against David Solomon? The strength of his biochemical beast made the hardness of the true aura shield as strong as a metal wall. Sharp, hardened needles protruded from the shield, the body movements became more agile at this moment. If the strength of the Dragon Cannon hit the lower abdomen of David Solomon, he had the confidence it’d blast a hole in it.
Solomon’s Avici was almost completely broken, it would not have much power even if it landed on David! David Solomon figured out that the crucial points instantly. He twisted his ankle in retreat, followed by another twist in his waist; contracting his throat as it was being pulled backward. His hands intertwined with each other cracked and exploded. At the same time, his fingers grabbed on Qin Fen’s wrist. While gripping and spinning the arms forcefully, the strength from his waist was channeling to his arms.
The three-level fusion of the biochemical beast was activated! David Solomon showed no mercy. Even with the martial dao strength of seventeen-star, the first thing he did was to activate the biochemical beast’s three-level fusion state.
He was a madman, not a fool. Qin Fen’s first strike had already given him immense pressure with the threat of death. Having gone through countless battles, David Solomon’s battle sense had caused him to make the correct judgment of not underestimating his sixteen-star class opponent in the first place!
Halberd-Breaking Vajra was a beheading technique. If it hit any part of the body, immense power would flow into the target and break their bones. This was the killing blow of the Vajra Fist.
Qin Fen’s hasty assistance was lackluster as he was unable to channel the Dragon Cannon to its best potential. The moment he realized that his wrist was going to be crushed he faltered further. His confident and ferocious expression took a turn as his fingers grabbed the ground. While his body retreated backward, he pulled back the Dragon Cannon that was being channeled out. Aiming at David Solomon’s crotch, his other leg poised to strike like a venomous serpent ambushing its prey from tall grass. It was also like Jing Ke attempting to grab the dagger to assassinate the Qin Emperor.
