Di Maria smirked. He did not like Wang Zheng. Not this limelight-stealer. Losers should have the bearing of a loser, and obediently grovel. He had thought that Elite Academy X would be his path to glory, but he had become a laughing stock. If it had not been his family working behind the scenes to salvage things, he would have taken double the losses.
Qiankun Zadeh’s ability could not be questioned, as the no. 1 in the military officer school. That was the place where the Aslan Empire’s bravest warriors and officers were nurtured. There was no status, only ability. That Qiankun Zadeh had made it this far had been on the basis of his ability alone. The Wind God Arts at this level could break air itself. There was nothing it could not overcome.
The titanium blade was coated with a layer of light silver. It was especially sharp, and Wang Zheng not only had to dodge the knife blade itself, but also that mysterious energy.
Mars could clearly feel that the Wind God Arts and the Heavenly Overlord Attack were two completely different styles, although their effects seemed very similar. The Heavenly Overlord Attack was about training strength, while the Wind God Arts sought speed. Of course, quick had to come with a powerful body supporting it. The difference was that once Wind God Arts reached a certain level, the speed alone could be enough to warp space.
In a close melee, it was unbeatable. But it remained to be seen how well Qiankun Zadeh could utilize it in a mecha fight.
Qiankun Zadeh immediately unleashed all he had against the other pro. Wang Zheng’s mind was occupied, whereas Qiankun Zadeh’s was clear. He wanted to rest, and also had to think about the future? That was laughable.
In the past, he would not have clashed with such a person at all. But in this moment, he would cruelly press this point, and drive his opponent from the world.
The killing power flashed, and the titanium blade sparkled. Wang Zheng was not as composed as when facing González. He had to move even more exaggeratedly, and use greater body movements to evade Qiankun Zadeh’s attacks. His titanium blade was for defense, and now it was a prop. Unless it was a special angle, he had no way to counter. And all the radioactive attacks could not be blocked, only avoided.
Qiankun Zadeh pressed closer, step by step. He did not want to give Wang Zheng any breathing room. At this moment, everyone could see that Qiankun Zadeh’s intention to kill did not let up at all. He was even more savage than González had been.
Wang Zheng had really dug his own grave this time.
Against Qiankun Zadeh’s steady press forward, Wang Zheng had no immediate counter. He was still suspecting that the opponent might choose to suicide with him at the crucial moment. In terms of protecting their nation, the Aslan people were no less fanatical than the Arbitans. And this Qiankun Zadeh was the classic example.
As for knife aura, Wang Zheng was no stranger. Actually, he understood such a way of attack better than some others,it was just that Qiankun Zadeh’s knife aura was not a real knife aura. The key was that the Wind God Arts’ internal energy had created enough power to warp space. But in the last battle, Wang Zheng had expended some energy, and he had to regulate himself if he did not want to sustain an internal injury. So he could only dodge what he was faced with.
Qiankun Zadeh had seen this moment, and with a wild slash, shing. ..
A cruel sliding cleave, and Wang Zheng’s body seemed to have reached its limit. A flash of frosty light swept past. Just as it was about to land, Wang Zheng suddenly twisted away, a leg sweeping out. Qiankun Zadeh leaped up. Wang Zheng, supported with one hand, lashed out with a leg.
Ping…
Qiankun Zadeh retreated, and both drew the distance apart. After a furious but fruitless onslaught, Qiankun Zadeh also had to reassess the situation.
Boom… Rumble
The surrounding trees all collapsed.
The tree that Zhang Zhun was behind suddenly cleaved into two and fell.
From the forest, startled cries could be heard. A few were walking towards the battlefield, and now their tracks were exposed, there was no need to hide anymore.
As for Qiankun Zadeh on the battlefield, he was too occupied to care about them.
Wang Zheng’s belly had sustianed another cut, and almost on the original position. He was soaked with blood. Wang Zheng knew that he had not been able to dodge one knife. Compared to a bone injury, such flesh wounds were better.
Wang Zheng looked at his injury position and jabbed at three points, stemming the blood flow. Such a method of stemming was a sealing technique, that was not good for the body, although it was definitely better than bleeding to death. But unless he was forced to, Wang Zheng would not want to use it either. A pity that his opponent was not so easy to deal with.
Wang Zheng’s Primordial Regression Technique filled his body. He could see a throng. The Manalasuo people had arrived as well. Today was really lively. It seemed like he was a lamb to the slaughter, at full attendance.
Boom…
A wave of energy exploded from Wang Zheng’s body. The Primordial Regression Technique’s energy filled the entire area, and everyone’s expressions changed. Lin Feng’s composure was finally shaken. Wang Zheng’s body was glowing with golden light. This indicated that his physical technique was very special, and it was definitely of the highest level as well.
It was either some secret art, or his talent was outstanding.
Qiankun Zadeh could not care about this. He would take advantage of his opponent’s infirmities!
Qiankun Zadeh held another two titanium blades in his hands. He clenched one between his teeth, the blade facing outwards.
Wind God Flowing Triple Strike!
Ping…
With a loud explosion, the ground shattered and Qiankun Zadeh barrelled down on Wang Zheng like a tornado. His two titanium blades slashed out in a cross!
This time round, Wang Zheng did not dodge, but answered with a palm – Break!
Boom…
Two waves of energy directly shattered, following which Wang Zheng’s foot was already flying.
Qiankun Zadeh immediately leapt up at astonishing speed… he was dodging.
The power from Wang Zheng’s palm was astounding. He could actually break his knife aura. But Qiankun Zadeh was not surprised.
Lin Feng looked at Lear. This was according to Lear’s intelligence. After feeling that power, Qiankun Zadeh believed Lear. This Wang Zheng’s physical technique was probably one of the best at SIG. It could even be the best. In a straight fight, once he committed everything, it was difficult to secure a win.
In order to win, he would have to do so before Wang Zheng made up his mind. Ultimate move!
This was Lear’s suggestion. The ultimate move was to look death in the eye. Lear dearly wanted to know what the level of Aslan’s military officer school was!
In midair, he flipped towards Wang Zheng, but he also executed a sequence of actions so quickly that it could not be followed. In this moment, Qiankun Zadeh’s body exploded with energy, and he arrived behind Wang Zheng at lightning speed.
Wind God Arts – Wind God Acceleration Body!
The light around Qiankun Zadeh’s body had already disappeared. This was the new soldier technique that Aslan had researched for many years. They had broken down many of the usage methods surrounding martial arts. Aslan would never find it troublesome. They would always overcome.
From the start, Qiankun Zadeh had not wanted to reveal this method of fighting, but seeing the golden light enveloping Wang Zheng, he chose to fight with his life!
His two blades circled Wang Zheng and descended. At the same time, the knife in his mouth lanced towards Wang Zheng’s neck.
A longer weapon was always quicker. Qiankun Zadeh was already playing with fire, and pitting all he had – his life!
As long as he descended, Wang Zheng would be assassinated!
Normally, those who specialized in speed were more careful. But Qiankun Zadeh had actually unleashed the most deadly move at the highest speed.
Lion Thunder?
It was only effective from the front. And against a prepared warrior, it was difficult to achieve the same effect as it had on González.
Lear wanted to see what else Wang Zheng had prepared. Wang Zheng was definitely good at using the blade, and even in warping space. But Qiankun Zadeh’s move did not allow him to exercise his potential at all.
Many pros fell because they could not bring their ability forth.
Of course, Qiankun Zadeh could very well be repelled by Wang Zheng, and sustain severe injuries or die in the counter attack. But he did not care at all.
In that instant, Lear still had a grave expression. After all, the Aslan people were still needed.
Shing…
The two knives crossed in a flurry of sparks. Qiankun Zadeh’s arms were numb from the shock. Wang Zheng had actually disappeared!
The only possibility was escape… Instantly, Qiankun Zadeh wanted to pursue, but…
Everyone was shocked.
What… was that???
In the dark night, Wang Zheng was actually floating in midair…
Mars, Zhang Zhun, Lin Feng, Di Maria, and everyone else were stunned. Even if they were all worldly, none had seen this before. Some Ability X, like gravitational types, could achieve levitation, but it was a useless novelty. And now, no one could use Ability X, so how had Wang Zheng… done it?
Wang Zheng was in midair. In the instant of danger, he had simply wanted to jump, but the Primordial Regression Technique had achieved harmony across five cycles, and as long as he held his breath, he could have such a balance, rendering gravity useless. It was an incomparably divine sensation.
Boom…
Wang Zheng’s head tilted, and a bolt of laser flew past his ear. Wang Zheng’s fury raged for the first time. On the battlefield, they were pitting their best abilities, and he had been prepared for such an epic battle. But that damned sneak attack – had he killed their father?!
Damn, that was asking for it!
The titanium blade flew into the trees, a beam of golden light sweeping through.
Boom…
The ground shattered, and the trees fell. A wail. It was Ghana Star’s captain Forgan.
Forgan had not even had time to celebrate his shot, when he sensed danger. He reacted extremely quickly, and immediately flung his arm up.
Seeing Wang Zheng streaking towards him, Forgan immediately activated his energy shield and stared at Wang Zheng malevolently. “What can you do to me? If I’m eliminated, you’ll die too!”
Wang Zheng gave him a cold smile. There was still seven or eight meters of distance. His titanium blade returned to spinning, and the golden light flashed out. He did not even turn back.
Boom…
Energy shield broken.
Forgan was frightened out of his wits. “You idiot, what do you think you… Argh…”
Forgan suddenly realised that his body was canting forward, his intestines pooling on the ground.
Wang Zheng did not look. Things like an energy shield were too, too weak when faced with warp effects. Especially at this level.
He did not move very quickly. This entire sequence of actions was very draining. He needed to be firmer, and harsher.
After this exchange, the Aslan people had realized the gravity of the situation. They had not thought that the energy shield would actually be useless.
Lear had not anticipated that Wang Zheng would make a breakthrough within this time.
Such a temporary loss of control existed in martial arts, and was not rare in that era. Once your martial arts reached a certain level, flight was not a problem. But in this era, it was but a fancy. But Wang Zheng had done it.
In that instant, Lear’s seriousness was no affectation anymore.
“Brother Lin, if we continue to watch on, Brother Qiankun might not live to see tomorrow,” Lear said mildly. If Lin Feng and Di Maria acted, he might be confident enough to fight as well. With the four of them, it was impossible that they could not finish off Wang Zheng.
