Chapter 93: A Fight Between Two of the Strongest

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Bull Demon King’s battle intent rose, holding back nothing as he made his move. His aura became the fiercest as he spread his arms in a magnificent gesture.

“Tiger Form! The Furious Tiger Pierces the Forest!”

Qin Fen’s eyes widened, and Bull Demon King’s arms were already only a single meter away, carrying an enormous force. Bull Demon King’s arms were already crossed together. They smashed down explosively from up high!

There was a different variation of Bull Demon King’s attack in each of his arms—laceration and heavy impact! Each one of them was impressive, his arms spread wide yet joined together. His target was none other than the head atop of Qin Fen’s shoulders!

The Furious Tiger Pierces the Forest was a move that fused body movement with combat attacks. When the angry tiger strikes with full force, most large animals wouldn’t be able to withstand this strike, let alone a human. Bull Demon King’s crossed arms formed a tiger’s mouth! Right now in Qin Fen’s eyes, Bull Demon King was none other than a fierce tiger!

Qin Fen faced none other than an attack that could rip a warhorse in half. Light shone in his eyes and his shoulders as he pulled back his neck. He tucked his neck in several inches and fixed his ankle, as his back rippled fiercely with energy! All his power was channeled to his feet, his body arching like a bow. He looked just like a warrior who had mounted the most fierce of warhorses, his body already retreating at high speeds.

The Step that Retreats Over the Tiger!

Bull Demon King’s pupils contracted quickly, for the Furious Tiger Pierces the Forest struck nothing but air! The retreating Qin Fen’s foot gripped the ground, and his thigh seemed to suddenly inflate, transforming quickly into the thick and large muscle that brimmed with explosive force. The sole of his foot stomped the great earth, letting out the beat of a drum from an ancient battlefield. His body was like a vigorous and nimble leopard, sweeping over the ground, covering a dozen or so meters in the blink of an eye. He was already before Bull Demon King’s eyes.

A stride! And the body leaned forward! The bones of the spine crackled, and the arms raised high formed a suffocating arc. It was like a giant ax yet also like an iron hammer! It smashed toward Bull Demon King with unprecedented ferocity!

The Tiger Form, eh? Then I’ll use the Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Striking the Tiger Style and simply strike the tiger dead! 

What’s this? Striking the Tiger Style? Or is it the Neo Taekwondo’s Jitae Iron Hammer?

Bull Demon King didn’t have the time to think in detail. The special device implanted within his body instantly began to operate, and countless metal elemental true energy rapidly coursed through his entire body. His skin and muscles stretched taut in an instant, and his muscles, solid and filled with power, like just-forged steel.

An aura of incomparable valor was just like a long-buried bomb at this very moment. It truly exploded.

A neo martial art! The Steel War Body!

The radiance of Qin Fen’s eyes skyrocketed. So Bull Demon King is a neo martial art expert? Qin Fen didn’t change his attack that was the fusion of the Jitae Iron Hammer and the Striking the Tiger Style. True energy surged within him, rushing blood into his arm. The tendons of his right arm bulged out, and his entire arm instantly turned greenish-black. It was over two times thicker than his left arm, and it looked akin to a black pillar of iron rather than an arm!

The fist smashed out, generating a gale of biting coldness. Even a rhinoceros could be killed by it! Qin Fen’s aura of power rose to unprecedented heights.

What’s this!? 

Bull Demon King felt shocked deep in his heart. He never would have thought that Thirty-Six Hours, who used the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and the Shaolin Arhat Fist, could actually unleash a might so bold and powerful it was as if an Arhat was descending into the world.

Evading would just lead to defeat!

Bull Demon King understood this truth very well. His body reacted before he could even think. Layers and layers of true energy covered his right arm, which struck out as well, simply causing the skin of his muscles to shine slightly with the luster of metal.

Diamond War Body! The advanced martial arts of the Steel War Body!

Bull Demon King felt the successful breakthrough that he had been unable to make for so many days. He actually made a breakthrough in this test to open a sect on the Sky Battle Net, and his heart stirred with boundless ambition. His Weaving the Four Oceans soared in might.

He had to win this final battle no matter what! He had to win! For the sake of the House of the Golden Ox Niu’s reputation, he had to win!

Win! He had to win! For the sake of a hundred dollars! He had to win! Qin Fen felt his opponent’s aura of power grow, and the will to win within his heart grew firmer.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam !

Four consecutive hits with the Weaving Four Oceans and the Iron Hammer Striking the Tiger Style clashing together each time. Bull Demon King was repeatedly pushed back, and crack-like marks could be seen on his muscles that shone with the luster of metal.

These weren’t muscle tears. This was purely just the state where the steel war energy coating his arm was about to break down.

Qin Fen’s Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and Shaolin Arhat Fist were far too firm and fierce, far exceeding Bull Demon King’s cautious estimations. Clashing with Qin Fen head-on caused Bull Demon King’s true energy to be jolted almost out of his control. The true energy adapter implanted within his body, which was in charge of controlling, regulating, storing, and stimulating true energy, was incapable of taking his true energy and readjusting its coverage to form his peak state in time.

Qin Fen pushed off with his foot, launching himself in pursuit. Bull Demon King suddenly mobilized his scattered true energy, his left foot suddenly stomping the ground, fixing his body in place. He used this foot as an axis to draw force and swing his waist in retreat. At the same time, his right leg was like a whip that lashed out in the opposite direction, its sharp and fierce arc came sweeping across Qin Fen!

Tiger Tail Kick!

The tiger’s tail was one of the three main means of attack for a fierce tiger! It was also the most hidden of the three main means, the move with the greatest destructive power.

The Tiger Form Fist had fused this tiger tail attack method within it, creating the Tiger Tail Kick. When using this move, the martial artist’s leg was akin to the sweeping tail of a tiger. It was firm and fierce as well as sinister with its enormous hidden nature. It was practically the most powerful trump card of the Tiger Form Fist!

Qin Fen’s eyes were open wide and round. Like an Arhat subduing a tiger, the muscles of his back and his shoulders shook, and the ten fingers of his reaching arms rang with pops. His net-like veins covered his arms once more, and his two hands grasped toward Bull Demon King’s Tiger Tail Kick.

Binding Roots of the Shriveled Tree!

This was one of the rare finishing moves of the Shaolin Arhat Fist!

Bull Demon King’s eyes bulged. He sought to dodge but it was too late. With firm determination, he spurred all the true energy within his body. Let’s see which one is stronger between your Binding Shriveled Tree and my Tiger Tail!

Boom! Snap!

Bull Demon King felt his right leg suddenly turn light, and a subtle instability appeared within the balance of his body. Qin Fen’s eyes, filled with battle intent, were already upon him.

The green-black fist, a bit larger than an infant’s fist, had changed into a knife-hand, and the black knife hand-chopped ruthlessly, striking Bull Demon King in the throat dead on.

One chop. A second chop. A third chop…

It was the Triple Palm Strike!

Crack…

The battle intent within Bull Demon King’s heart turned completely into unwillingness. The Steel War Body was incapable of stopping the Shaolin Arhat Fist that was driven by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. It could break the neck that was as thick as an arm, for the neck was fragile before Thirty-Six Hours’ knife-hand.

I’m not willing! Bull Demon King roared in indignation within his heart, but the system rang with a voice, judging the victor and the defeated, “Bull Demon King has lost and died, failing to open a new sect. Please try to challenge again next time….”

Thirty-Six Hours’ figure quickly warped before Bull Demon King’s eyes. He looked with bulging eyes, seeking to see the facial features of the victor with clarity. However, the system distorted the image, giving him not a chance to look at the Qin Fen who lay concealed behind a black curtain.

“I lost….”

In a spacious and empty room, a young man took off the helmet dedicated to playing on the Sky Battle Net. He tied up the ruffled warrior clothes on his body in a bit of a trance. His thick and rough build and his facial features carried a hint of firmness like granite. Just one look told anybody that this man possessed an extremely tough and unshakable personality.

He lost? A maid stood not far from the young man. She looked at Young Master Tang Hu, somewhat not daring to believe it.

There were other powerful people besides the martial gods who possessed the titles of mythological beasts. Under the seat of practically each of those martial gods who possessed the titles of mythological beasts were experts who obtained the titles of the constellations.

Under the seat of Venus’s most powerful Martial God, White Tiger, are none other than the four gold heavenly kings of the twenty-eight constellations—Golden Ox Niu, Golden Dragon Kang, Golden Goat Gui, Golden Dog Lou.

Tang Ao, the Golden Ox Niu and one of the four golden heavenly kings, had many heirs, and Tang Hu was the most outstanding out of all of them. Tang Ao believed Tang Hu to be the most likely candidate to receive the title of Golden Ox Niu.

Because of his special identity, Tang Hu planned to use the Sky Battle Net to found his own sect. From there, he could challenge other martial artists as he pleased for the sake of tempering himself.

It should have been a piece of cake for him to open a sect, but he actually lost in the challenge. He was defeated by the hands of one that used the internal art of bitter work and the fitness exercise of fist forms.

Even though he was already vigilant from the weird data on Thirty-Six Hours, Thirty-Six Hours still managed to unleash strength that far exceeded his predictions.

Had I been careless? Tang Hu’s smile was a bit bitter. He had clearly known that his opponent was strange, using the internal art of bitter work and the fitness exercise of fist forms, yet he only brought out his eighty-percent state in the beginning. If he had brought out the same state he used against a disciple of the House of Golden Dragon Kang, perhaps…

“Young… young master… did you really lose, sir?” The maid still couldn’t believe it.

“Yes. I lost.” Tang Hu squeezed out an unsightly smile as he slowly walked out of the room. His mind was still replaying the fight that happened not too long ago in the Sky Battle Net. He asked himself over and over.

“If I had used my most powerful state, how big would my chances of winning be? If I also used the Shaolin Arhat Fist, could I beat him? Did the man called Thirty-Six Hours really use his full strength? Did he have some more martial arts up his sleeve that he hadn’t used in our fight? Does he have any ultimate skills?”

In order to be worthy of being a later generation of the powerful Golden Ox Niu, Tang Hu was extremely hardworking. Besides studying necessary cultural knowledge, he devoted practically all his energy in martial arts training.

When he was young, his father said that he was the one with the fewest prospects of growth. Right now, he had already become the most outstanding youngster of his generation in the House of the Golden Ox Niu.

He really wanted to know how his opponent cultivated. Could it be that Thirty-Six Hours cultivated even in his sleep?

Tang Hu was not the only one reflecting on the recent battle. Qin Fen’s silent reflected on the intense battle that occurred just now.

Whether it was victory or defeat, whether his opponent was strong or weak, every time after a battle, Qin Fen would always sum up everything about the battle in order to further develop himself. This was a creed that Qin Fen had fumbled out these days. Of the eight major experts in the dream, the master of research and analysis had given his ability to sum things up to a very high assessment.

“You have passed the test and can found a sect now. Would you like to immediately found the sect?” The system’s voice sounded out for the forty-second time.

Qin Fen roughly summed up his successes and mistakes in the fierce fight and snapped out of his spellbound state. He just so happened to hear the system’s voice, and he hurried to answer, “Huh? Oh, okay.”

“Please select the place to found your sect: Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus….”

“Artificial satellite number four.” Qin Fen didn’t forget what Zhang Xiangyang suggested to him.

“Artificial satellite number four. Please select the city….”

“Hell.” Qin Fen responded without a thought.

His thoughts on founding a sect were different from that of the vast majority of people. Qin Fen’s goal was simple and pure. He wanted to find experts to fight and improve himself while earning money.
