Chapter 875: The Battle of Ten Strikes

Lord Merciless’ expression was extremely dark. It had been a long time since anyone dared to go against him. Were all young people nowadays not afraid of dying?

Shao Ji felt a little excited. Mo Wen was an idiot. The more he infuriated Lord Merciless, the higher the chances of him dying. It might even lead to Lord Merciless thinking of all kinds of ways to kill him.

He was very happy that a genius he disliked would be killed in front of him. Wasn’t Mo Wen very arrogant? Wasn’t Mo Wen very strong? He was still going to be killed by someone else now.

“Ten strikes! I will definitely kill you within ten strikes,” Lord Merciless said coldly.

Lord Merciless’ expression was dark. He pointed his finger slowly at Mo Wen.

“Will you call me your grandfather if you cannot kill me in ten strikes?” Mo Wen asked with a cold smirk.

“The first strike.”

Lord Merciless did not argue with Mo Wen. Instead, he spoke with his actions. He disappeared immediately from where he was standing, as if he had evaporated.

Mo Wen’s expression froze. The person might be powerful and highly skilled. Even if he could not compare to Mo Wen’s Glory of Wind, he was not too far from it.

He was indeed a powerhouse from the hidden martial arts strain. He had all the essence of martial arts in Huaxia.

Whoosh!

There was a gentle breeze behind Mo Wen. Lord Merciless appeared behind Mo Wen without a sound. He was less than one meter away from him.

Even if Mo Wen could sense any odd movements behind him then, it would be too late for him to block.

However, Mo Wen had anticipated it. While Lord Merciless’ skills were amazing, they could not escape Mo Wen’s deified soul.

There was a flash of gold light and Mo Wen’s body became like a sun. At the same time, several lightning bolts writhed and escaped from his body. His aura instantly doubled and crossed into a different level.

Mo Wen retaliated. His action was smooth and efficient.

Crash!

Two fists collided and a terrifying wave of aura rippled through the area.

Lord Merciless’ fist encountered Mo Wen, who was already prepared. It was not very effective and the two were forced backward by the strong rebound.

Mo Wen was not as strong as Lord Merciless, but after he released the Glory of Thunder, the difference in strength was not irreparably large. Furthermore, Lord Merciless had chosen an odd way of attacking. He was unable to release his full capabilities.

Lord Merciless’ strength had decreased while Mo Wen’s had increased. The first strike ended with a tie.

“You managed to explode with such a powerful strength in an instant. What secret technique is that?”

Lord Merciless’ eyes finally showed signs of agitation. Mo Wen’s aura was now double his aura was earlier. Even though some techniques could increase the strength of a warrior, it could not increase it by that much. Furthermore, the usage of such secret techniques was often more troublesome. It could not be completed in just a mere moment.

Lord Merciless had seen many secret and amazing techniques that could trigger a person’s potential. However, they were all not as marvelous as the technique that Mo Wen used.

“You transformed the power of thunder into your own strength. Is this a rite of passage martial art?” Lord Merciless’ expression froze. He had already guessed what kind of martial arts the secret technique Mo Wen used earlier.

The young warrior had managed to grasp a rite of passage martial art. He was extraordinary.

“You are indeed from the hidden martial arts strain. You have seen some things,” Mo Wen said. Even the martial arts grandmasters of the inner worlds might not be able to recognize the rite of passage martial arts. Lord Merciless had managed to decipher it at a glance.

“You managed to cultivate in the rite of passage martial arts, so you must also be from the hidden martial arts strain as well. Which faction are you from? Why have I never heard of you before?”

Lord Merciless frowned slightly. The young man might very well be a genius in the hidden martial arts strain. He managed to understand the rite of passage martial arts at such a young age. He could not think where else such a genius would come from.

“Guess.” Mo Wen said with a vague smile.

“Hrmph, don’t think that I will spare you just because you are also from the hidden martial arts strain. You are still not very skilled. Since we are from the same strain, you must have heard of Lord Merciless. Those who offend me rarely survive.

Lord Merciless laughed coldly. Mo Wen’s attitude had irked him. He did not like people who spoke to him like that. He would not be able to live happily if he did not tear people like Mo Wen into smithereens.

“The Second Strike.”

Lord Merciless had already struck once more. He thought that five strikes would be sufficient to kill Mo Wen. He was trying to be safe when he said he would kill Mo Wen in ten strikes.

Lord Merciless was not only trying to shame his enemy by saying he would kill him in ten strikes, he was also trying to provoke and lower the morale of his enemy.

With the ten strike limit, he would be able to stir up his enemy’s desire to win. His opponents would often choose to take the five strikes before fleeing, or they would try their best to suffer through more strikes.

Would they still have the chance to escape then?

Lord Merciless’ laughed coldly to himself. This method was very useful against young men who refused to admit defeat.

They could not use any treasures in the Red Stone forest. Ordinary weapons were useless to them, so most of the fights here were physical.

The two figures on the mountain peak began to collide madly. The mountains collapsed and the earth shattered where they passed. Large pieces of rocks rolled down the mountains and made earth-shattering crashes.

Shao Ji was hidden far away and watched the two fight with shock. He was a martial arts grandmaster, but the difference between him and the two was enormous.

Shao Ji finally understood how great the difference between him and Mo Wen was when he saw Mo Wen fighting with Lord Merciless and gradually failing to get the upper hand.

No wonder grand elder Wang Changhan had always reiterated how dangerous Mo Wen was. Yet, Shao Ji had never thought so. Now that he thought about it, Elder Wang was right and the situation was much more serious than he imagined.

The two powerhouses exchanged blows, causing a great deal of ruckus. In just a moment, the two had exchanged seven strikes.

The two figures on the mountain peak collided once more and then parted. They each stood on one side and sized the other up.

“I did not expect you to last up to the seventh strike.”

Lord Merciless’ expression could freeze water. Mo Wen had managed to block seven of his strikes. He had been confident that he could kill Mo Wen before each of his strikes but Mo Wen had managed to neutralize all of them. Mo Wen was not as powerful as he was, but he had made it difficult for Lord Merciless to strike each time.

“What’s so odd about that? You are just full of yourself,” Mo Wen replied coldly. Kill him in 10 strikes? Lord Merciless was not worthy of that.

“I am very curious. You must have grasped at least three types of rite of passage martial arts. How is that possible given your age?”

Lord Merciless looked at Mo Wen deeply. Given his skills, he could tell that Mo Wen had learned more than one type of rite of passage martial arts. Other than the secret technique that could double his strength, he had another secret physical movement technique as well as a martial arts technique secret skill.

If not, how could Mo Wen block his deathly blows again and again? He had not managed to kill Mo Wen even after seven blows.

The genius warriors of the hidden martial arts strain have the ability to cultivate in the rite of passage of martial arts because there were immortal seniors in some hidden martial arts strain sects. The seniors cultivated in the martial arts and would occasionally pass on their skills to the most talented young person in their sect.

In the hidden martial arts strain, quite a few sects that had powerhouses who have become immortals. As such, the young warriors of the hidden martial arts strains could cultivate in good conditions.

However, a young man who learned the rite of passage martial arts at such a young age was really, really rare. He could count them on one hand.

Those who could learn the rite of passage martial arts at such a young age were geniuses among geniuses. They were all extraordinary.

Even Lord Merciless had only just learned one rite of passage martial arts. That was already something he was proud of.
