Sunshine, beaches, lazy tourists, and a leisure life by the seaside. The city of Athens seemed to be lost in its own time, stuck in a slow and comfortable pace of life.
Anger, hatred, chilling murderous intent, and the eternally raging battle intent; like a steel sword scraping through the murals in the promenade. Like the night of the dead, an indescribable, determined battle intent radiated from Solomon. His handsome yet ferocious face emitted fear and darkness, the protruding veins from his forehead and cheeks resembled him to a ghoul from the depths of Hell.
The Solomon family members who had just received the approval documents stood at the door, unable to see the thing that flew past them clearly. They could only feel a huge impact the strength of a typhoon destabilizing their balance as if they were going to be blown away by such a huge impact from the wind.
In addition to the winds, a chilling, murderous intent and a raging battle intent could be felt. The mixture of the cold and heat was as though going back and forth from a heating stove to a freezer, causing the sensation of heavy impact in the chest for those affected. Those with weaker martial strength would spurt out blood from their mouths, with their faces turning into the texture of pale, gold-colored paper; the raging wind would cause tinnitus as well, making them dizzy.
With the raging determination to avenge his murdered parents, Solomon burst his true energy to the extreme instantly, straightening and extending his musculoskeletal structure like a flexible blade. The ability to be flexible in response to pressure radiated an intensified murderous aura, complemented by the collision of air that resembled the clashing of steel.
At that time, Solomon gave the people a special illusion that the punch made was by a Joji Spear made of steel, rather than his arm as it made a thunderous sound that could pass through the sky and break the energy.
Solomon’s pounce resembled a heroic general in ancient times calling upon thousands of cavalrymen to a charge. David Solomon could feel the simplicity in his eyes as the fist slammed down like an artillery barrage, causing the air to be compressed and suffocating everyone in the process! At this very moment there seemed to be no escape from this ordeal in the mortal world.
Avici!
Just like the rest, Asura’s internal cultivation technique also followed the cultivation method modified by Qin Fen. It was based on the secret art Yijin Sutra, in which Qin Fen combined the Marrow Cleansing Tome, True Tome of the Void, The Book of Taixian, The Tome of Emptiness, Samyukta Agama, and the Prajnaparamitahrdaya to form a new secret art — Ten Thousand Truths of Destruction.
The Ten Thousands Truths of Destruction was integrated with the seven major Buddhist internal art. The usage of the internal art should have the natural greatness of the soul. However, nothing of the sort could be found in Solomon, only rather a chilling sense of mourning and grudge.
Avici was inspired by the Eight Layers of Hell in Buddhism. Solomon practiced Qin Fen’s new secret internal art and combined it with the secret arts of the Buddha, referencing from the Eight Layers of Hell to create his unique set of Renouncement Martial Dao – the Eight Styles of Renouncement.
Sanjiva, Kalasutra, Samghata, Raurava, Maharaurava, Tapana, Pratapana, and the deepest level of Hell among the Eight Layers of Naraka, Avici!
Avici was the strongest among the Eight Styles of Renouncement! The fist contained endless suffering in the hellfire prison as if he had the real Avici contained in his fingertips!
Avici was Solomon’s first killer move after training in isolation for many days. In an instant, he released his accumulated power, as well as the killing intent and rage that had long boiled within him; just like how Qin Fen had fought Bae Seong-Joon’s disciple at the Sacred Martial Hall previously.
Meeting your nemesis induced extreme anger. There was no need to glare at each other angrily and denounce each other before going into battle.
No! No procedure at all! Meeting the killer of my parents, my eyes are red and I can’t wait to send him to the real Avici the next second, making him suffer every torture available, and vanquish him from the face of the earth! How will I have the mood to show off and denounce him before the battle?!
No! No denunciations! There is no confrontation either! There is also no need to swear about what to do to the other party! War! The killer of my parents is right in front of me. There can only be one outcome, and that is war!
Avici! The most powerful Avici among the eight styles covered David Solomon’s body as well as the space around him immediately.
“Eh?”
David Solomon’s eyes were narrowed into slits, standing in the same place and putting his right arm up instead of dodging! The grinding and cross-cutting movements were locked on to Solomon’s wrist like the phantoms rushing out from the Avici.
The slash was like the Henglong Framing of the Nine Dragon Fist, yet it was struck with the palm. The slash resembled the Mountain Decapitation Technique from the State of Japan. At the same time, it also looked more like the Rolling Dragon Strike from the Blade of Broken Commandments.
David Solomon’s first move was to incorporate several martial arts into his personal theorizations. The power stemmed from the Henglong Framing, with the landing blow simple and clear — focused on hitting the channeling nodes on the wrist with the Rolling Dragon Strike from the Blade of Broken Commandments. The phantom-like blade technique was in turn taken from the State of Japan’s Mountain Decapitation Technique.
Although he was crazy, the martial dao grandmaster of the seventeen-star class was indeed a martial dao grandmaster of seventeen-star class that was able to combine three types of martial arts techniques into something completely new. A gloomy and chilling amputation technique was charged in his fingertips, poised to strike! He aimed to disable Solomon’s wrists before Solomon was able to cast Avici to his head.
If Solomon insisted on doing things his own way by taking on the fist, then he would have a broken wrist, or even an amputated palm before he could hit David’s head. If that happened, a re-attaching surgery might be needed, and the recovered palm could only be used to hold chopsticks instead of killing people.
Pa pa...
The true energy from Solomon’s Avici was crackling and exploding. The difference in power and experience was perfectly embodied at this very moment.
The mighty power contained the merciless fist from the sand dunes, impacting Solomon’s body from his right side. For a moment it was as if the whole temple was transported into a boundless desert, with the raging sun baking the temple; the history of the desert that spanned millennia was unleashing its wrath toward David Solomon.
A high pitched dragon screech caused tremors throughout the temple! The martial artists outside the temple vomited blood and fainted on the spot after taking on the screech.
This is? David Solomon’s scalp twitched, a mighty fist of sixteen-star power appeared suddenly. If this strike continued to cut Solomon’s palm, his overbearing Dragon Cannon would destroy his throat.
Facing the sudden fist, David Solomon was unable to anticipate its power. Even with the Divine Shielding Art of seventeen-star, he could not directly take the blow from a sixteen-star. This was because the martial dao master behind this fist didn’t only use his strength of a sixteen-star level, he had also activated his biochemical beast!
Dragon cannon! Qin Fen’s fastest and strongest martial arts technique! Compared with the mighty power of Investiture of the Gods, it was slightly weaker, but because of the strengthened of the counter-attack, it had become the best way to break through in speed!
This was not a battle! This was killing! It’s a matter of life and death! How would Qin Fen let his guard down against David Solomon? The strength of his biochemical beast made the hardness of the true aura shield as strong as a metal wall. Sharp, hardened needles protruded from the shield, the body movements became more agile at this moment. If the strength of the Dragon Cannon hit the lower abdomen of David Solomon, he had the confidence it’d blast a hole in it.
Solomon’s Avici was almost completely broken, it would not have much power even if it landed on David! David Solomon figured out that the crucial points instantly. He twisted his ankle in retreat, followed by another twist in his waist; contracting his throat as it was being pulled backward. His hands intertwined with each other cracked and exploded. At the same time, his fingers grabbed on Qin Fen’s wrist. While gripping and spinning the arms forcefully, the strength from his waist was channeling to his arms.
The three-level fusion of the biochemical beast was activated! David Solomon showed no mercy. Even with the martial dao strength of seventeen-star, the first thing he did was to activate the biochemical beast’s three-level fusion state.
He was a madman, not a fool. Qin Fen’s first strike had already given him immense pressure with the threat of death. Having gone through countless battles, David Solomon’s battle sense had caused him to make the correct judgment of not underestimating his sixteen-star class opponent in the first place!
Halberd-Breaking Vajra was a beheading technique. If it hit any part of the body, immense power would flow into the target and break their bones. This was the killing blow of the Vajra Fist.
Qin Fen’s hasty assistance was lackluster as he was unable to channel the Dragon Cannon to its best potential. The moment he realized that his wrist was going to be crushed he faltered further. His confident and ferocious expression took a turn as his fingers grabbed the ground. While his body retreated backward, he pulled back the Dragon Cannon that was being channeled out. Aiming at David Solomon’s crotch, his other leg poised to strike like a venomous serpent ambushing its prey from tall grass. It was also like Jing Ke attempting to grab the dagger to assassinate the Qin Emperor.
The secret technique of the Vile King, Zeng Yicheng; The Bloodline Ending Kick! The ultimate move loved by many martial dao grandmasters displayed its majestic ability suddenly! David Solomon felt a chill in his groin before the Bloodline Ending Kick landed. He could clearly feel that he would be impotent for the rest of the week, he would even feel the aftereffects whenever he thought about this incident.
In an instant, David Solomon suddenly felt that his penis was shrinking as if it had encountered ice-cold water!
David Solomon understood that if the Halberd-Breaking Vajra formed by his arms continued with the pursuit, there was a fifty percent chance that he might break Qin Fen’s arms, but at the cost of his manhood. The generated strength would destroy all the nerves of his lower body. Even if he replaced the nerves with someone else’s, his manhood would only ever remain ornamental, without practical use.
David Solomon might be known as a madman, but he was no brainless fool. His nostrils spurted an angry, icy grunt. He then slightly arched his body, slamming his intertwined arms downward while his claws slammed onto Qin Fen’s ankle like a hammer.
Hah! The rage contained in David Solomon’s fist was a million times more intense than the sinisterly quiet kick by Qin Fen. The palm pressure had caused the ground to erupt with gravel, as if the ground was repeated hit by lines of bullets, producing weird effects in the process.
Beyond David Solomon’s expectations, Qin Fen did not retract his feet, as if he didn’t notice the world-ending fist.
A chilling bright light appeared! The very moment it appeared, its distance was less than half a meter from David Solomon’s heart! The sudden appearance of the extremely cold blade had shrunk David Solomon’s penis that was already shrinking!
This dagger came so suddenly and silently, as if someone had cast a spell to materialize a killing dagger in front of his heart!
Xue Tian! His sixteen-star martial dao power was radiating continuously. He was always hidden in the darkness since the beginning, only this flashing dagger truly existed!
Another sixteen-star class? Where did this kid come from? Goosebumps with the size of a soybean appeared all over David Solomon’s body. His overwhelming fear had caused his hair to stand on its end, like a porcupine defending itself in a dangerous encounter.
It was uncertain for the Skywheel Fist by David Solomon to shatter Qin Fen’s ankle at this rate. However, it was certain that a huge hole would be carved by this sharp katana that was spinning quickly in front of his heart.
It wasn’t until this moment that David Solomon knew why Qin Fen showed no fear when facing his Skywheel Fist. Because he knew that someone would aid him in this predicament! The Bloodline Ending Kick could be transformed into a Skypiercing Cannon anytime to carry out a pursuit mission.
David Solomon knew it would come to this, but there was no way to reverse it. It is all because of Xue Tian’s demonic blade! That’s right! Too demonic! It’s absolutely a demonic blade! Xue Tian inherited one of the Sacred Martial Six-stars, Fairy Star’s unique skills. One of the unique skills of the Fairy Star was the fencing of the demonic blade! If it weren’t for the disparity in star classes, Xue Tian was confident that under the circumstances of similar star classes, he would be able to pierce through David Solomon’s heart before David Solomon realized what had happened.
Retreat! David Solomon compressed his chest and bent his body immediately to avoid that sudden demonic strike! Qin Fen’s Bloodline Ending Kick was just as what he expected, it became a sky-piercing cannon that aimed for his chin. David could feel the taste of a deadly crisis ringing in his mouth.
David Solomon’s arms intertwined and twisted with each other, like two giant serpents coiling around a tree. At the same time, it was like a huge bear try to hug its opponent with his thick, open arms.
Serpentes-Ursidae Constriction from the Skywheel Fist! David Solomon’s constriction could smash several thick titanium columns easily. Those weaker martial artists would still be crushed by his signature killing blow even if they activated their Divine Shielding Art.
Facing Qin Fen’s legs, which David Solomon hated, he would naturally show no mercy and attempt to take care of the obviously troublesome opponent in front of him.
A dragon screech and a majestic roar! As both yin and yang energies collided, David Solomon saw Caesar and Yang Lie from Alexander’s faction striking at the same time; both were aiming for his eyes with the power of a fifteen-star martial dao master.
What an excellent tactic! David Solomon fell into a dangerous situation, crazily immersing himself in the battle. Deep down he praised the good use of tactics and timing of both of his opponents.
Facing two fifteen-star class martial dao masters as a seventeen-star class martial dao master, if David gave everything he got, he could still shatter Qin Fen’s legs while he deflected the heavy blows from both martial dao masters with his Vajra Protection Art.
However, both of them aimed for the eyes and ears! Both of these parts were the most difficult parts to train. Although the gap was broadened with two levels and the activation of the third-level fusion of the biochemical beast, an attack on both of these positions would render David Solomon blind and deaf on the spot.
Release, withdraw! Just as David Solomon gave up his attack on Qin Fen, he felt a rising chilliness at the back of his heart. Xue Tian’s pervasive blade was already behind David Solomon before he knew it. Right at the same time, another blade began to slash from his left flank. The sky at this moment was as if they were going to be sliced apart by the blade.
Sky Splitter, Brooks! After accumulating his power for a long time, Brooks launched the strongest attack he had ever launched! The blade exploded at immense pressure, its power was sufficient enough to harm a seventeen-star class martial artist!
Four fists disabling the eyes and ears; a blade piercing through the chest; another blade landing a killing blow to the throat of the seventeen-star class martial dao master, David Solomon!
The outbreak of Solomon was so sudden that no one could charge up their power to the maximum. Apart from Brooks, everyone made their shot hastily. The perfect synchronization made up for the shortcomings of being unable to fully charge up their power.
The four young masters struck at the same time and Qin Fen, charging up his energy quickly with Solomon, waited for the chance to strike. In the face of numerous lethal moves, the feeling of anger rushed from David Solomon’s chest to his brain.
As a seventeen-star class master of martial dao and patriarch of the Solomon family, I am having trouble with these little punks? David Solomon moved his wrists slightly, causing the ring on his finger to spin; his sapphire eyes radiating a mad, monstrous gaze.
Almost simultaneously, Qin Fen’s face gradually changed as he sensed a familiar smell beneath the earth. That is… the smell of detonating gunpowder…
“Dynamite!”
As Qin Fen shouted, David Solomon activated his Wukong Technique, shooting out of the room like a cannonball…
The blazing fire erupted from the ground almost simultaneously, turning the Athenian landmark buildings that stood proudly for countless years into dust in just a matter of seconds.
The flame with a diameter of a few hundred meters pierced into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud; like a dormant volcano erupting after tens of thousands of years.
The shock wave generated by the explosion smashed the surrounding buildings into a pile of ruins.
David Solomon floated in the sky, wiping the dust off his face as he looked down at the thick smoke, laughing hysterically, “Finally dead? What a shame, what a shame! From today onward, I am free from that scornful, piercing stare! Ha… what a shame! Whenever I was glared upon like that, I felt weirdly comfortable, to the point where I almost couldn’t bear to kill you.”
Among the smoke, a thunderous, high-pitched dragon screech pierced the skies. Qin Fen’s fist was nearing the chest of David Solomon. Xue Tian drew out his sword at almost the same time, followed by Caesar, Solomon, Yang Lie, and Brooks. Although everyone’s shirt was torn like a beggar’s, they did not suffer much damage to their bodies.
“How can this be?”
David Solomon was shocked, the Wukong Technique showed no signs of stopping but instead, a rapid increase!
