Chapter 1097: Four Seasons Samsara Stroke!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The two were engaged in an intense battle, worthy of being called Saint Emperors experts! Their control of Xuan Qi and strikes were with ease. Everyone watched them exchanging blows, but they did not hear any sound of strong wind. It was as if these two people were merely gesticulating, not using any real strength…
But wherever they turned to, there would be streaks of blackness that appears, following the direction of their punches and kicks, like small black holes appearing and disappearing suddenly…
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock! These signs had already gone beyond the comprehension level of everyone present!
The only thing they knew was that these two people were already going all out!
And they were using the strongest skills they’ve comprehended at full force!
Those streaks of blackness should be the terrifying marks of the legendary ‘Power of Heaven and Earth’!
The current battle situation may seem ordinary, but it was actually extremely intense. Due to their precise control of their Xuan Qi, not a single bit of their Qi leaked out. Their strengths were almost on pair, and they were locked in a stalemate. They could offset almost ninety percent of the force delivered from their opponent’s blows, leaving the last ten percent to the Xuan Qi protecting their bodies, which caused this entire battle to become one that resulted in life and death. This may look like a thrilling but harmless dumb show, but it was a matter of life or death…
You advance and I retreat; you strike and I’ll defend; you throw a punch and I stop it with a kick. Their clothing fluttered in the air, every single action was extremely fast, but it did not stir up a single dust from the ground…
The two exchanged a couple of blows at a spot, then switched locations at the speed of lightning… And as if the entire space had crumbled in an instant, a giant black hole appeared at this original spot they were in!
Before vanishing immediately…
And in the process of it appearing and disappearing, dozens of such spatial black holes had appeared consecutively…
No one in the hall dared to catch a single breath when watching this battle!
A battle like this had surpassed the knowledge of the majority of those present! But everyone was aware of one thing; no one could endure this level of attack, even if it were those two people in the battle!
Which was why they would continuously change the place they were fighting at without any agreement!
Because the moment they were trapped by these spatial black holes, even if they had the cultivation of a Saint Emperor, they would also disappear and vanish for eternity along with these black holes the next moment… Because both of them had already understood: the other party was staking his life!
Huyan Ao Bo watched carefully, before suddenly furrowing his brows. “This shouldn’t be, ah…”
At the same time, Miao Zhan, Miao Dao, and the rest also shook their heads slowly. How could such a situation happen? It truly left everyone at a loss!
A few people could tell that the Saint Emperor from the Evil Monarch Manor had undoubtedly high cultivation, but he was not that old! This level of strength that he had was obviously achieved by using some sort of unique method! A skill like this was definitely worthy of being called ‘peerless’; it was a superpower forces dreamed of!
But this sort of strength that obtained through external expedition had a flaw. No matter how pure and powerful the strength obtained was, the skills that one knew would not be many without significant battle experience. One’s cultivation could be obtained swiftly, but the physical aspect of the body, and experience required accumulation over time. Those who obtained great strength through external expedition often relied on their overwhelming strength to defeat their enemy, or relied on their immense strength to get out of danger.
Thus experts who relied on external expedition for strength might have extremely high cultivation level, but in an actual battle, they may not necessarily be better than other experts who may be slightly lower than themselves. Zhang Da Niu may have the cultivation of a third level middle tier Saint Emperor, but in theory, he may not be able to win an expert who is at his beginning tier of a third level Saint Emperor!
Take Qiao Ying for example. Qiao Ying may have high cultivation, but a huge portion of it was all due to the Exquisite Lotus and Seven Colored Holy Fruit. If not because of her gift of the ‘All Seeing Eye’, her real battle capabilities were far inferior to experts of the same level!
And Duan Chong Feng who was representing Holy Land for this battle was a thousand year old demon through and through, full of battle experience! With his numerous battles with various experts throughout his life, logically, he should be in an advantageous position with his skills, techniques and experience!
But from the current looks of situation, this was not the case. It was completely the opposite…
Because it was still that Zhang Da Niu who was using all sorts of bizarre and peculiar techniques to strengthen his attacks. And this old senior who had gone through countless battles, Duan Chong Feng, was using his Xuan Qi to take on those blows in defense…
This… is too bizarre?
Every single stroke Zhang Da Niu used was extremely elaborate, every single one was something no one had seen before. Most of the time, Duan Chong Feng had to change six other techniques consecutively to counter each strike by him…
It hasn’t been long since the battle lasted, but Duan Chong Feng’s forehead was already covered in perspiration! This was a Saint Emperor! With their powerful physical strength, Xuan Qi and endurance, most of the time, even if they go at a battle for a few days continuously, they may not even drop a single sweat…
In contrast, that Zhang Da Niu’s breathing was slow and steady.
Suddenly, Zhang Da Niu laughed loudly and said, “I already said you are not a match for this captain, yet you still insist on trying. Now your time as come, eat my Four Seasons Samsara Stroke!”
Suddenly, a strike cut across horizontally! Duan Chong Feng’s pupil shrank and wind began to blow!
A strike cut diagonally across the skies! Duan Chong Feng felt the world before his eyes turning dark: dark clouds began to loom across the entire sky!
This was actually what Duan Chong Feng felt, being in the battle himself. But all the others watching may not be able to experience the same thing as Duan Chong Feng, but they also understood the absolute aura that came from these two strikes!
Yet another strike, the spring winds turns into rain, birds sang and fragrant flowers bloom, and frozen rivers began to thaw!
The next strike: the scorching blaze of the summer sun, strong winds and storms, the rage of the heavens!
Another strike, the autumn winds blew as fallen leaves began to flutter in the wind!
The final strike! White snow flutters in the freezing cold of winter, the boundless heaven and earth, it was the end!
The end of one’s life!
From the moment the first strike began, Duan Chong Feng’s mind jolted!
The second strike, his heart began to fluster!
The third strike, he was already struggling with all his might.
The fourth strike, his mind was already beginning to be in a mess!
The fifth strike, he just went with the currents,
The sixth strike, he was completely lost…
With no path of return!
Bang!
Instantly, on Duan Chong Feng’s body on his chest and his back, three hundred and sixty five palms that appeared in a blink of an eye struck his body!
The moment fresh blood came spurting out of his mouth, they also came out of his eyes, nostrils and ears!
Duan Chong Feng did not even have the time to make a single noise when he had already fallen from the air in a semicircle, his body making a curve as he descended. On the ground, there was a semicircle of blood!
When he landed on the ground, he did not make any noise!
Duan Chong Feng’s almost a thousand years of cultivation was not adequate. But the moment Jun Mo Xie’s condescending summoned someone else, he already developed dissatisfaction. He was even more enraged with Solitary Eagle’s behavior and careless arrangement. What this small captain said when he first appeared had thoroughly infuriated him! His tranquil state of mind was completely wrecked!
As such, without a focused mind, and his desire to quickly end the other party’s life, but was yet met with techniques he had never seen before, his confidence was completely crushed! He lost his desire to win, but still remembered that he was carrying an important duty. He must not be defeated, so naturally there was greater pressure on his mind. The fear of humiliation before all the great heroes of the world was even greater!
All these combined had resulted in his defeat!
A complete and utter defeat!
With his cultivation, he may still be able to deal significant damage to Zhang Da Niu. He may die, but he would definitely be able to cause irreversible damage to the other party!
But it was a pity, the moment Mo Wu Dao fell into the trap, it was the equivalent of him falling into it!
The outcome of the battle was already determined!
And it was destined to not have any opportunity to make a comeback!
A Saint Emperor of his generation was defeated like this!
Although it was not enough to be fatal, but the opponent held back no punches, so all his bones had been broken!
The three Holy Lands, Elusive World of Immortals, first round—complete defeat!
Looking at that fresh, circular bloodstain, everyone was speechless!
Those who were worthy of receiving the invitation letter from the Evil Monarch Manor were no fools. Although they are limited by their strength and were unable to understand the profoundness of the strength of Saint Emperors, they still had eyes to see. Even though they did not hear a single sound of wind, they all saw those black holes that repeatedly appeared from time to time!
A third level Saint Emperor was ‘silently and noiselessly’ defeated like this…
“I’ve lost! Indeed, it is a knife for killing an ox that killed the chicken!” Duan Chong Feng’s entire body was already like meat paste, but he still stubbornly tried to lift his head and looked at Zhang Da Niu as he spoke in a raspy, low voice. The injuries on his body were extremely severe. Even being hacked to pieces may not even compare to the agony and pain he was in. But he did not make a single groan. Instead, he raised his head and openly admitted his defeat!
“A good man!” Zhang Da Niu no longer looked at him scornfully as he praised solemnly. Even though he was a Saint Emperor now, the boiling blood in his veins of a military man had never cooled. Naturally he would give his most respectful attitude when treating this sort of iron-boned tough guy.
He scratched at his head, stammering as he said, “En, I’m sorry, I… was a little too heavy handed… And, the words I said earlier, were… all intentionally to anger you, please don’t take it to heart.”
Duan Chong Feng’s gaze was cold, but he slowly nodded his head and said in a low voice. “We are serving our own masters. That should be the case! I don’t blame you! I really do not blame you!” After saying this, Duan Chong Feng’s head suddenly dropped as he fainted.
Mo Wu Dao and the others did not say a single word. They only looked at the arena silently.
“Brother Mo!” Xi Ruo Chen said softly. “You… have been rash this time!”
