Chapter 236: Heart, Skill, And Body

Dong…dong…

A strong and powerful heart was beating. The beating sound that came from within Qin Fen’s body was like the sound of drums on the battlefield.

Splash… splash…

The blood in his body was like a rushing river, and the sound was heard clearly by Yang Jiwu who then looked at Qin Fen. This man had unknowingly released an endless, incomparably deep, and firm murderousness.

“Come on! Come on!” The inner battle intent had risen rapidly. The endless desire to fight only continued to increase in the face of these insect warriors that were incredibly merciless!

Qin Fen’s feet were on the ground, and his spine was like those of a big mythological dragon. One step after another, the positions where his two feet were left two huge footprints, slightly shaking the ground.

This time, Qin Fen’s battle intent was extremely high. A distance of over twenty meters became a mere feet away under Qin Fen’s feet. He was already face to face with the insect warrior before anyone else, and the piercing sound of the wind made Yang Jiwu squint his eyes once again.

As the insect warrior saw the appearance of its prey, it showed extreme beastly excitement in its weird eyes. Its claws were long and sharp like a knife and it reached toward Qin Fen’s head.

There was an abundance of fighting intention in Qin Fen’s body. He showed neither the slightest expression nor movement, yet he still managed to easily dodge the brain-mincing claw. Qin Fen’s body was already incredibly close to the insect warrior!

“Riding Dragon Step?”

Yang Jiwu finally found the familiar steps of the ‘Oolong Fist’ from Qin Fen’s quirky dragon-shaped movement technique! However, these steps were a lot more refined in comparison to those of all the Oolong Fist professionals that he had seen previously!

A hand rapidly enlarged in the insect warrior’s pupils. Before it could respond, that hand had already opened up its five fingers and grabbed it by its face! A strong centrifugal force followed, causing both its legs to leave the ground. A tyrannical force immediately rushed into its brain.

The veins that covered the insect warrior from head to toe that were seemingly as hard as stone were completely crushed by Qin Fen’s grip. Just like a watermelon that was cracked open by a wooden stick, the bones and brain juice of the insect warrior splashed out from between his fingers.

Using his left hand, Qin Fen grabbed the insect warrior by its ankle and threw its corpse like he would a bomb, slamming it directly into another insect warrior.

The two nearby insect warriors immediately switched its body formation and rushed simultaneously toward Qin Fen. Although their bodies were infested by parasites, they had not forgotten their martial art techniques.

One of the insect warriors aimed directly at Qin Fen’s throat using the “Dragon Eight Extreme Fist”.

The other insect warrior instantaneously lifted its leg with the intention to smash it against him. The explosive ringing of the wind in its legs sounded like a flat car tire that was still running and was directed at Qin Fen’s head. It was the “hammer” in neo Taekwondo!

The two insect warriors were not familiar with the concept of cooperation, yet they had an innate ability to synchronize seamlessly in time!

The moment Qin Fen’s big hand grabbed the hammer of the insect warrior, a deafening sound from the collision between flesh and bone was heard. Before the insect warrior managed to respond, it already felt its ankle being caught. A sudden aggressive twist pulled its other leg off the ground. Being unable to control the body, it drew a half circle in the air, and later slammed into the other insect warrior.

“Extending Claw of the Azure Dragon!”

“The Billows of the Oolong River!”

The bodies of the two insect warriors that were competent in both strength and body smashed into one another…

Qin Fen did not bother looking at the corpses that had turned into a mixture of blood and flesh. He bolted toward another two insect warriors using a series of Riding Dragon Step. His arms made a circle and smashed directly into their heads.

“Double Hammer Slam!”

Qin Fen’s two arms were like two Optimus Primes. The two insect warriors simultaneously attacked with a series of the Powerful King, crossing both their arms above their heads.

Crack… boom…

The king might be powerful, but it was not powerful enough to withstand the Optimus Prime! At the same time both the insect warriors’ arms broke, the bones under their feet that were braced against the floor broke as well. The Double Hammer Slam drove straight into the insect warriors brains and smashed directly into their chests.

While the other top recruits had yet to battle against the insect warriors, Qin Fen had already killed off six of them within a split second! Both Yang Jiwu’s eyes and mouth opened wide as he watched. The expression on his face was as if a five-flavored bottle had been knocked over: a combination of all kinds of emotions was spilled on his face.

In the face of Qin Fen’s fists and body techniques, the fierce and wicked insect warriors were as delicate as a baby.

“Is this a human?” Yang Jiwu whispered in his heart, “This is a f*cking human-like mobile armor!”

In the blink of an eye, two insect warriors rushed before Xue Tian. The muscles of his right arm that were rested on his shank were like a poisonous snake that had been frightened, and the katana that was hanging on his waist was like a lightning bolt.

A dazzling light reflected off the blade flashed across the eyes of the insect warriors. For the first time, there was a gaze of curiosity in their eyes as they felt a chill in their throats. They saw their own bodies standing still on the ground with no head above their necks, the bare necks like a high-pressure water gun that spurted continuously.

“What is this sword technique?” Yang Jiwu was shocked again. Indeed, there were many sword techniques in the world that had not been witnessed before, yet there was still a probability that he would have heard of it. If he were to witness one, he would most likely be able to recognize it. Yet this sword technique was oddly unknown.

“Haha… insect warriors. You guys are really lucky to be able to witness my very own brain splitting sword technique.”

As his voice echoed, the brain of an insect warrior that wanted to secretly ambush Xue Tian was immediately relocated.

A vulgar sword technique name, a skillful sword technique! Although the scene of violence was not like Qin Fen’s, it’s efficiency was no much lesser than Qin Fen’s.

A sudden blinding flash of light reflected in the air and the sound of a shiny metal clink was heard, ching! A steel ball covered with bronze thorns that was about the size of a baby’s fist swooped at the back of Xue Tian’s head directly like a meteor.

Almost at the same time, there were another two insect warriors that had the same chain ball fall out from their hands! It was already known just by listening to the sound it made that it could crush even rocks, nevermind Xue Tian’s head.

“This is…?” Even more surprise flashed through Yang Jiwu’s eyes. There were actually three recruits from the same camp that were here, and they practiced a special combination art “Guardian Demonic Circle”!

This ‘Guardian Demonic Circle’ was also known as the ‘Sun and Moon Whip Method’. When it is practiced alone, it was already an extremely powerful paleo martial art on its own. The ‘Guardian Demonic Circle’ would be formed if three people coordinated it, and its power would double.

In the record of group battles within the sky battle network, there had been a joint record of three four-star martial artists who teamed up to use the “Guardian Demonic Circle” to defeat three five-star martial artists.

Moreover, such records were not extremely rare. There were also plenty of such records in the real world.

The greatest requirement for practicing this combination method was that the three needed to share the same intentions to coordinate well. The more similar their mindsets, the more powerful the strength unleashed.

Yang Jiwu was unsure of how these three insect warriors usually cooperated. Yet at that point in time, these three insect warriors seemed to only have their innate battle abilities, and all their distractions seemed to have been removed from their minds. The level of cooperation between them had completely exceeded the usual level of cooperation usually seen by five-star martial artists that performed the ‘Guardian Demonic Circle’.

The leisure on Xue Tian’s face had disappeared without a trace. A set of breezy movement technique that was also admired by Yang Jiwu coordinated with the katana in his hand, clashing into the three insect warriors.

On the other side, Du Peng’s Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cavalry smashed an insect warrior into minced meat, opening the curtains to his battle.

Yang Jiwu still wanted to check on the others, but the two insect warriors did not give him the chance to. With a sound of a horrific whistle, they swung their gross saliva at the corner of their mouth.

“Get out!”

Yang Jiwu looked at several of his peers, their strengths were not any lower than his. The frustration in his heart turned into anger. He stood on the spot without trying to dodge, his small chest shrunk toward the back, and his waist made a twist!

The turf under his right foot suddenly exploded! His right leg made the sound of a screaming whistle like a thick arrow was shot from a strong bow, like a flash! It seemed that an atrocious foot had appeared right in the faces of the two insect warriors simultaneously! The strong wind that the leg brought was blowing against their hair, fluttering backward.

An exclusive martial arts Arrow Fists and Legs: Ternary Imperial Exam Graduate!

Splash… splash…

The heads of the two insect warriors split open from the middle. The six insect warriors behind them all rushed forward at the same time without any defense as they attacked with everything they had.

It was indeed a suicide attack! Six five-star level insect warriors struck at the same time. It was an all-out attack that would make almost any six-star martial artist try to avoid. Yang Jiwu himself was no exception as well. Both his feet shook the ground as his waist twisted in reverse aggressively. As he dodged, he sneaked out his right leg and aimed at one of the insect warriors’ temple.

At that time, the six young recruits were faced with hundreds of insect warriors.

More than thirty insect warriors surrounded Qin Fen altogether. The claws and feet, as well as their strange roars, created an endless noise.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fen returned to when he battled with the seasoned soldiers during his time at the Golden Triangle. One against a group!

However, the seasoned soldiers would still spare some mercy at crucial moments. Although these five-star insect warriors were indeed not as strong as the seasoned soldiers, they were merciless in their attacks. After the sudden transformation of their body, all their fists and legs now had a pure physical power of more than a thousand pounds!

Although one’s body would have divine art defense, just one simple strike would still cause a lot of pain. In addition, within the battle ring, there were still dozens of insect warriors that were the size of human heads. They made constant chirps with their mouths as they waved their octopus-like legs constantly, creating a standby mode.

If one were to be entangled by these things even for just half a second, it was enough for those insect warriors to race up and attack aggressively. A fist and a kick each had a thousand pounds worth of strength. If one were to be hit by a dozen or twenty insect warriors at the same time, the force would exceed ten thousand pounds. No matter how strong one’s divine art defense could be, one would still be crushed into powder.

Once the divine art defense was broken, it would only end in a result like the previous incident where all the recruits were killed. Having a hole through the chest was not a joke.

Eighty insect warriors targeted Qin Fen and the others at once. The other insect warriors did not seem to have stopped at all, their hands and legs were running furiously on the ground. They had already arrived at the woods in just a split second.

“It’s not over!” Xue Tian, who was alone in the ‘Guardian Demonic Circle’, was irritated, “Watch my Thousands Swords Broke Mountains and Rivers!”

A ball of light burst through the airtight center of the three entangled chains, as if the sun was rising from within. The dark clouds that were formed by the chains could no longer stop the rising of the sun.

An unprecedented sound of metal colliding seamlessly was heard out of a sudden. The blade of the sunlight had broken through the chain’s pressure immediately. The three insect warriors did not have the chance to retreat and were rolled up into the light of the blade.

At that time, there were pieces of minced meat all over the ground, and the three insect warriors were no longer to be seen.

Xue Tian’s face was slightly red, and his chest was expanding and retracting slightly. The level-exceeding Guardian Demonic Circle could defeat three opponents that were a level higher.

With the power of only one person, Xue Tian had defeated three insect warriors that were highly synchronized and a level higher than him instantly. If he didn’t have to exert any energy, even Yang Jiwu who had also used the Sun Piercing Through Clouds method to break through the ambush, would also not believe it.

The two young martial artists who had some sweat on their foreheads looked at each other and smiled. Yang Jiwu then looked at Xue Tian again. If he were to be in his shoes earlier, he wasn’t confident that he could be able to break through the encirclement of the Guardian Demonic Circle, let alone the possibility of counterattacking all three insect warriors at the same time along with the breakthrough.

The explosion of the Thousands Swords Broke Mountains and Rivers earlier did not only contain murderousness but the confidence in his sword skills that everyone should be cautious of.

Just after a short period of thinking, four insect warriors had already rushed to Yang Jiwu once again. He had only used the Sun Piercing Through Clouds method to break through the encirclement and at the same time kicked an insect warrior to death earlier. It did not actually kill all of the insect warriors.

Yang Jiwu swiped the sweat off his forehead and wrinkled his brows slightly as he saw the insect warriors swarm up. If the most troublesome thing about these insect warriors wasn’t their star-class strength, then it would be their battle style that went all out with no fear of death and their punches that carried a pure physical force of over a thousand pounds.

Every time there was a collision, Yang Jiwu would get a feeling that the true energy of his defense art was about to be smashed open by this tyrannical force, especially during continuous attacks. In continuous attacks, the later the collision happened, the clearer the uncomfortable feeling.

Holding his blade, Xue Tian hopped to Yang Jiwu’s side on his toes.

When two six-star martial artists battled against five-star insect warriors, no matter how peculiar the opponent’s strength, it could still be crushed easily.

“My God! Du Peng’s fist…”

Xue Tian retracted his katana and was surprised to see Du Peng who was fighting dozens of opponents.

The corpses of the insect warriors beneath him was even more peculiar. Some of them had all their limbs completely split open, and some of their bodies seemed to had been chopped by a katana.

Yang Jiwu’s expression turned a little serious as he looked at Zha Can, who was also struggling within the encirclement. Although his opponents were greater in number, the pressure he was able to exert was still slightly lower as compared to Xue Tian when he was fighting against three opponents. It seems that Xue Tian is indeed not simple.

“Sigh… I still have to help…”

Xue Tian pulled out his katana and strode up.

Yang Jiwu sighed and followed immediately as well. Although the two sides were not pleased with each other’s presence, they would still have to work together for the greater good.

Three against ten? The battle scene turned into a one-sided situation instantly.

Du Peng wiped away the sweat from his forehead, looked at the dead bodies under his feet again, and held his fist tightly. These beasts’ bodies could actually dissolve some part of the damage caused by the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder…

With a little self-deprecating expression on his face, Du Peng shook his head. “It seems that I used it too badly. If it was him that used it, these things would probably be beaten till they explode on their own.”

Yang Jiwu shifted his gaze away and pretended he did not hear Du Peng’s words.

Du Zhanpeng held an extremely important position in Du Peng’s heart. At the same time, he was deeply rooted in the heart of Yang Jiwu, becoming a thorn that constantly pierced him.

Du Peng walked toward Xing Wuyi, while Xue Tian and Yang Jiwu rushed to Zha Can.

Among the people here, Zha Can had the weakest strength. Now, he only managed to barely withstand the battle only because he had unleashed his biochemical beast.

Biochemical beast: a double-edged sword. You could improve the overall strength of the martial artist at the time of launch, but after you stopped using it, your body would enter a short period of fatigue.

When faced with danger, this period of fatigue would often be fatal. In the event of this, Xue Tian and the others had a rule in their hearts to avoid using their biochemical beast. It was considered their final trump card, as there would be a period of time where you wouldn’t be able to protect yourself after using it.

Someone had already used it? Qin Fen blocked two weird claws and picked up some insect warrior’s heavy leg behind him. A strong force passed through his back causing a tremor, and the insect warrior was flipped over and out.

The insect warriors surrounding Qin Fen let out a sharp scream out of a sudden, and the rest of the insect warriors that were still battling earlier also let out the same scream.

In the next moment, all the martial artists attacked at the same time and did not bother to have any synchronization. They calculated their timings and rushed to Qin Fen all at ones, dozens of all-out tactics flooded from all different directions.

Du Peng, Xue Tian, and the others, who had just killed another two groups of insect warriors, also let out a shout simultaneously.

Around thirty insect warriors seemed to have all lost their minds at that time. They pushed forward without a care of life and death, and attacked with a dozen types of all-out tactics forcefully!

“Even if it is a piece of steel plate…” Yang Jiwu was shocked but happy, “It would already be smashed, right?”

In an instant, Qin Fen’s surrounding was covered so that even sunlight would not be able to shine through. The strong wind that was caused by the strike of various types of all-out techniques blew against the mud on the ground. In a blink of an eye, it was like he was positioned amongst the vigorous waves of the sea.

“They’re finally attacking together…” Qin Fen was not afraid — in fact, he was happy. In the face of a coordinated attack, one had to consider ways of defense, as well as ways to minimize the damage caused during the attacks.

At this moment, there was no need for further thinking! This moment was what Qin Fen had been waiting for far too long! If it still didn’t come, he would have really had to take the risk and use his Martial Emperor Dragon Fist.

At this time, Qin Fen bent his left leg, and his right leg was half-squatted on the ground. He curled up his body as much as possible with his left fist placed vertically in front of his chest, and his right fist right at the side of his brain. The aura released pressured increasingly toward his body!

The huge rapid change of the true energy within his body even affected the air flow outside his body. Yang Jiwu felt as if he was hallucinating. The air that used Qin Fen as its center point had now formed a huge vortex. All the air was being absorbed into his body!

The air within three meters of Qin Fen’s radius seemed to have been absorbed wholly, almost as if he had turned into a vacuum!

The insect warriors were approaching quickly while Xue Tian and the others were slightly distant. Even if they wanted to help him, they were already too slow.

Qin Fen’s posture remained unchanged. The pressure in his body reached its peak in an instant, triple boost! The power of six elephants!

His eyes that were closed initially, opened in a sudden! Two balls of blinding light glared out from his eyes in an instant! At that moment, it seemed as if it wasn’t Qin Fen who opened his eyes, but rather an angered dragon whose sleep was disturbed. A tyrannical force came rumbling out of his body, like a huge volcanic eruption!

His legs that were bent and half-squatted on the ground pressed against the ground with a huge force. The body that was curled loosened up suddenly, releasing an unprecedented force toward the opposite direction. The force drove the body to rotate in high speed, an unimaginable recoiling force shot Qin Fen up to the sky like a rocket.

Qin Fen, who had accumulated all his strength until its peak, continued to make a big turn, producing a high-speed turning force. His two legs were like a dragon that broke through the ocean that was under a violent pressure, kicking with the potential of his martial instincts.

Taken from the Arhat Fist Whirlwind Kick and combined with multiple kinds of Dragon Fist techniques, it formed the seventh style of the Martial Emperor Dragon Fist: Angry Sea Mad Dragon Whirlwind Kick!

It was also the first group attack tactic of the Martial Emperor Dragon Fist.

Qin Fen’s legs were kicking like hundreds of dragons disrupting the sea and the rivers. The air tore apart and made a piercing whistling noise.

In a split second, hundreds of fateless dragons appeared on the battlefield, roaring at the sky at the same time.

Yang Jiwu’s stood in place blankly. His fists were unknowingly clenched together, sweat dripped from the corner of his eyes onto his cheeks, and his ears twitched constantly.

At that moment, it was unclear if the 30 insect warriors rushed to Qin Fen voluntarily, or if they were dragged toward him due to this fierce and arrogant attack.

The sound of bones colliding that have never been heard before was now heard. The bursting sounds were like the crashing sound of a chain accident of multiple cars on a highway!

After a few seconds of the hard bang, Qin Fen fell heavily onto the ground. His shirt that was of good quality did not tear from the transformation of his body, but was torn completely into pieces after withstanding the uncountable amounts of attack.

On the naked upper body, there were patches of blue and purple everywhere. Fist marks, palm marks, and feet marks were clearly visible! His trousers legs had also long disappeared. The insect warriors blood ran along his legs and dripped to the ground.

The opponent was around thirty monsters with the strength of their fists being more than a thousand pounds who had launched suicidal attacks without any hesitation!

Moreover, there were two six-star monsters among them! It’s just that their ability to hide it was very good so that it only fully exploded at the last minute! Their fists and legs were above two thousand pounds!

Even if a true seven-star martial artist practiced tenacious defensive arts such as the Golden Bell Shield, the true energy of the defense would probably also be severely damaged after withstanding thousand-pound attacks of over thirty insect warriors.

No matter how fierce and strong Qin Fen was, he was still a six-star martial artist. If his body was not hurt even slightly under such continuous attacks, he wouldn’t be a monster but a God!

Yang Jiwu was even more shocked. Qin Fen actually killed thirty or so insect warriors in an instant! And he hadn’t even used his biochemical beast — his final trump card!

On the ground all around Qin Fen, were the corpses of insect warriors that were either headless or had a large hole that went through their chests.

Though there were more than thirty insect warriors that were involved in the sudden attack earlier, none of them survived.

Yang Jiwu was clear of how strong the body of these insect warriors was. At that moment, to pull out a power of at least more than thirty legs to break open the body of insect warriors…

Yang Jiwu himself knew that it was impossible for true energy to erupt thirty times in a row in just a split second! Even twenty times was enough to burst one’s veins.

Zha Can also stared at Qin Fen blankly. This man was even more powerful than when he was going against James!

Xing Wuyi’s eyes also brightened. The peculiar technique earlier could be said as the perfect combination of “heart”, “skill” and “body”! Without one of those, it would be impossible to enhance the power of a six-star to this extent.

Xue Tian covered his mouth exaggeratedly, his eyes bloomed with some surprise, “Old Qin, you’re probably the fiercest recruit among the Federation’s recruits right?”

“AHH!”

In the woods, a piercing scream was heard, scaring the very few rare birds that were there.

“Chase!”

Qin Fen’s pair of legs made a quick bounce, and he tiptoed forward quickly like a big dragon swimming across the sea.
