Chapter 460 - Intense Battle of Fifteen Minutes (Part Three)

Hard-pressed! For the first time since both sides started fighting, Qilin was pushed to the end of his rope. But no one could make out any expression on his battle-hardened face; no one was able to peek a glance into his thoughts and emotions even when he kept on retreating, again and again.

The full strength of the Great Sage Wreaking Havoc in Heaven was brought out by Master very easily. Furthermore, it was faster than Qin Fen’s. Master’s every kick, punch, palm attack, finger flick was firmer and fiercer than Qin Fen’s. Master’s each and every move was aiming for Qilin’s vital points. Just the pressure from every punch, wind from his every palm was strong enough to blast any other martial dao master of the same level. The penetrating and explosive force behind every attack was equal to the barrage of a multi-warhead missile.

BANG BANG BANG…

Master clawed at Song Wendong’s throat. Qilin raised his elbow and diverted it with it immediately. Master turned his Eagle Claw into a palm knife, coming down straight towards Qilin’s kidney point following along the momentum. Immediately, Song Wendong used White Crane Spreads its Wings from the Twenty-Four Styles of Simplified Tai Chi and dealt with it with his left hand. Immediately after, Master brought the five fingers of his left arm together to take the form of a drill before he thrust it towards Qilin’s heart with the shake of his shoulder. At the same time, he raised his right knee and smashed it towards Qilin’s waist suddenly, leaving Song Wendong no choice but to retreat again.

An inter-linked barrage of Great Sage Wreaking Havoc in Heaven’s claw strikes, palm strikes, finger stabs, kicks, and punches broke out like a tempest storm. The entire chain of attacks seemed to have no order or rule, it perfectly displayed the meaning of Havoc. In the blink of an eye, Song Wendong retreated a total of eight times!

Master, who had been silent for too long, had finally left behind his elegance completely with his battle intent. His entire series of moves seemed to be driven by a fervent battle intent, displaying the super grandmaster-level of the black hole realm!

In the blink of an eye, Qilin was forced to retreat ten steps back!

At this moment, divine beast – Qilin’s deep foundation had spurred much of Master’s excitement. After the outbreak of Great Sage Wreaking Havoc in Heaven, he soon entered a kind of battle state where he forgot himself.

Generally, Master and Qin Fen were engaged mostly in discussions. Master didn’t get many chances to have actual hands-on experience. Qin Fen was someone who understood fully how refreshing a hands-on experience really was. Song Wendong could be said to be one of the best opponents for Master.

God knows for how long he had been this lonely. The more he watched Qin Fen fight, the more he was unable to bear the itch in his heart. Finally, Master had the chance to fight. As such, ordinary people could hardly imagine the majestic firmness and fierceness of his every attack!

Song Wendong had poured his complete concentration into this confrontation. He had never thought the fight with Qin Fen would become such an important one. He simply couldn’t predict Qin Fen’s attacks after Qin Fen woke up. Qin Fen’s wild battle intent with that free and unrestrained style gave the feeling of an eruption, as if a volcano that had been suppressed for a long, long time had suddenly erupted!

Qilin maintained his strength at the fifteen-star level but he had already forgotten about victory and defeat. He even forgot that there were people watching the fight. His entire concentration was on Qin Fen. He had poured all his boxing techniques, spirit, and martial arts into this fight.

As their kicks and punches clashed with each other, Qilin felt the martial dao of his entire life begin to sublime!

The nearby Steward Hou’s eyes flickered with endless surprise. Originally, he believed that Qin Fen, after waking up, would be defeated again very soon after he had passed Qilin’s test. But he had never imagined that this youth’s furious counterattack after waking up would push the Earth Martial God to the end of his rope, where he could do nothing but defend! The most surprising thing was that his master seemed to have made a breakthrough. And this breakthrough was all because of Qin Fen’s crazy attack.

Qilin, no matter how much he had suppressed his star-class, should have been one of the strongest martial artists of any level. This was the consensus of almost all the martial artists in the world. Only other divine beasts were strong enough to fight with Qilin.

However, today… Steward Hou had no choice but to admit that there were indeed freaks in this world who could push even the divine beast-level martial artist of the same star-class to his rope’s end!

“What a disorderly boxing style, what a fierce momentum. Is this Qin Fen’s instinctive martial strength?” Song Zhenting released an aura shield, blocking the spurting pieces of rocks and waves of energy. Master’s overspreading kicks and punches gave him the impression of a monkey charging against the Heavenly Palace with an iron stick in his hand. He could not help but want to go and weigh Qin Fen.

A series of thoughts flashed in Song Wendong’s empty mind. It seems I have really underestimated this young man called Qin Fen! However, the fiercer he is now, the worse his previous assessment seems to be! On the second thought, he seems to have barely passed the recent assessment.

Even though Song Wendong retreated a hundred steps back, Song Wendong felt the shackles of his stagnant martial arts finally loosen up fighting this battle. After this fierce fight, he would make a new breakthrough with just a closed-door session!

The farther one walked on the road of martial arts, the harder it was to move forward. Even a slight bit of progress would throw the martial artists of the same level far behind.

A divine beast martial artist could be said to be standing at the peak of martial arts. It was extremely difficult for any divine beast to take even half a step forward on the road of martial arts. It wasn’t a matter of accumulation or closed-door training. Luck became the most important factor in the world.

Qilin may be in the leeward position but he was extremely happy. This temporary leeward situation… is well worth it! It seems my stroke of luck is here!

Song Wendong retreated another hundred steps back; he might be in a leeward position but his aura of power didn’t weaken the slightest because of this, nor was he really convinced. Even if he had reached the point of breakthrough because of this battle intent, Song Wendong would never choose to admit defeat.

Who was Song Wendong!? Qilin! One of the strongest martial artists standing at the apex of this world! A super-level martial artist whose mere sneeze could shake the mountain and the earth! A person who could completely ignore the Federation army. Someone who was revered as the Earth Martial God! No one could imagine his immense strength, his huge ambitions, the number of battles he had fought!

Divine beast – Qilin! What a title, what aspirations!

He had never lost! Song Wendong had never been defeated since the day he had started walking on the road of martial arts! Even today, Qilin didn’t believe that he would experience defeat!

“Qilin will not lose!”

Just as this prideful thought flashed in Qilin’s mind, the retreating Song Wendong planted his feet on the ground, no longer retreating even a step back!

“Not going to retreat! Very good!”

Master had unleashed a full barrage of his kicks and punches as he pushed his aura of power to his peak. The aura energy in his body was seething non-stop. When he found that Qilin wasn’t retreating, he was even more excited. He only had fifteen minutes to fight. If he just pushed Qilin to his rope’s end for the entire fifteen minutes, the spectating Qin Fen’s gains would not be that plentiful.

Wouldn’t it be boring if I just press Qilin for a full fifteen minutes and not get to see Qilin’s true martial arts?

No more retreat! I will make my stand! At this moment, the spirit, essence, and strength of Qilin’s sublime martial arts, as well as the infusion of true aura into the body of the fifteen-star level, were condensed together, climbing to an unprecedented peak!

At the same time, all of Song Wendong’s muscles moved! This movement caused the air around his twitching muscles to crackle like the lightning in spring. That martial dao master of the fifteen-star level felt everything go white before his eyes. He wasn’t able to see Qilin making a move clearly. All he could feel was a moist smell on the firm and fierce Qilin Peak like the wet smell before the rain due to the high concentration of moisture in the air.

Qilin’s fish, palm, elbow, knee met Master’s, one after another. His encompassing offense kept on changing like he was spreading a net in the sky to wrap the havocing monkey in it!

A smile spread on Steward Hou’s lips. Master has really made a breakthrough today. He can actually use the Storm-Style of Qilin’s Fists at the fifteen-star level!

Everyone knew that the Dragon Gather the Clouds and Rain, but they didn’t know that the auspicious beast, Qilin, also had the same ability to call the clouds and the rain. This was the most explosive style in Song Wendong’s Qilin’s Fist, the Storm-Style! His limbs were like tens of thousands of drops of rain, falling from the sky, covering all the souls on the ground.

Master pursed his lips into a smile of joy in the face of similar overspreading Storm-Style. Suddenly, he retracted the overspreading Great Sage Wreaking Havoc in Heaven as his body began to rotate from his toes. In the blink of an eye, every single bone in his body was drawing a circle. His arm took the form of a huge circle, it somewhat looked like the bear hug of five animal mimic boxing. But it was lacking the firmness and fierceness of the bear hug, it was more like a soft and powerless lug.

That hidden fifteen-star martial dao master had confusion written all over his face at the sight of this Qin Fen’s move. That previous chaotic style was like a storm, he might not have lost to Qilin’s blow, but why did he change his move suddenly? Moreover, why has he changed to this weird and waste martial technique? Has he expended all of his true energy?

This round-type stance just happened to connect with Qilin’s chopping palm and resolved most of Song Wendong’s Storm Style with just a turn and shake of his body. The endless rain seemed to have been sucked in by this weird circle with just a pat, shake, and turn.

Godly Fists: Guardian Deity Bracelet! Taken from the mythical Daode Tianzun, its softness could suck the weapons of all the gods in the world while its hardness could knock out a guardian deity for a while. The yin and yang twin dragon coiled around each other to form a guardian deity, which could suck everything when it was soft, and destroy everything when it was hard!

After sucking in the storm, the seemingly weak Guardian Deity Bracelet suddenly quivered as powerful true energy broke out suddenly! Song Wendong drew in a breath of cold air. He moved his leg and waist with lightning-fast speed as he retreated a hundred meters! As soon as the Guardian Deity Bracelet sucked in, Qilin was unable to exert the strength of Storm-Style. Not only had it completely absorbed the impact force, but even the explosive momentum that was easily created was also sucked in together with it.

Song Wendong was taken aback completely by this suction. The defusion of his punch wasn’t terrifying but when it could suck the violent momentum away, it was a big problem.

Qilin had fought far more than a hundred battles. Qilin knew better than anyone else that a fight wasn’t about boxing technique, the energy in one’s heart was equally important. Once one lost his momentum, he could be easily defeated.

Song Wendong had never imagined that Qin Fen’s martial technique would reach this level after he woke up. He had never imagined his Storm-Style after his breakthrough would be sucked in by that strange circle so easily!

“Softness gives birth to hardness, hardness gives birth to softness… this combination of hardness and softness is very terrible. Even more amazing is the timing of that change and the control of hardness and softness!”

While Song Wendong’s mind was filled with admiration, Master appear before him using the Electric Steps. The Eighteen Dragons Gathering the Clouds and Wind drew a white trail as it whizzed through the air as if a small jet was passing through. That fierce aura energy forced Song Jia to close her eyes, lest her eyeballs were hurt by that aura energy.

“What an explosive energy! Awesome! Come on!”

From the start of the fight, Qiling felt that he could not control the situation truly. Master’s varying martial techniques gave him a strong and difficult feeling. And the Entanglement and the Guardian Deity Bracelet after that gave him the feeling of powerlessness and extreme oppression.

Qin Fen suddenly switched to hardness from softness and launched a fierce blow. Naturally, Song Wendong didn’t step back to avoid it; he spread his arms, raised them above his neck and twisted his feet and waist. His majestic spine rose and fell like a dragon flying through the clouds. An explosive wave of true energy erupted from his body as he flung his arm, punching towards Qin Fen.

His majestic body coupled with his long arms coming down from above made Song Wendong look like the god of war flying in the sky, smashing down a huge warhammer.

Master’s eyes bloomed with a bright gleam. He didn’t choose to switch to softness from hardness and greeted directly with the Eighteen Dragons Gathering the Winds and Clouds; he chose a head-on confrontation for the first time.

The Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds showed the firm and fierce side of Master. Master’s arm infused with true aura drew a strange white trail wherever it went.

BOOM!

The two punch clashed with each other in a straightforward manner. Immediately, the sound of their true aura and musculoskeletal collision resounded throughout the sky!

Song Wendong’s punching arm turned black and blue like a thick iron rod. In contrast, Qin Fen’s jade-like arm seemed very fragile, showing the two polar opposite visual states.

The moment their fists clashed with each other, Master’s bow and arrow step might have remained unchanged but the ground underneath his feet could not bear the impact of two violent blows. Several feet deep cracks emerged rapidly around them. The subsequent debris within several dozen feet of the two flew over a hundred meters into the air like lava during a volcanic eruption. The subsequent waves of true energy and aura broke the screen of this debris from time to time, making whistling noises as it clear the air away.

Their punch was more than just a punch. Both sides might not have placed their hopes of winning on this with their powerful martial technique, but they knew that this punch of theirs was of vital importance.

Song Wendong felt a wave of heat coursing through his body after the clash! A scorching stream of true energy!

This is!? Nine Sun Divine Art!? no! Flame Saber! It’s not that as well! True Energy of Summer Heat! Not that as well! Song Wendong raised his sword-like eyebrows. He was surprised to discover that Qin Fen had not resorted to all his strength before. To his surprise, Qin Fen’s true energy carried such an intense heat!

Flaming Mountain! Master’s feet shook with the ground again, transferring the power of earth into his waist, then to his shoulders, and finally to his fist!

World Martial Arts Master Outline! The essence of the various schools of martial arts was gathered into it. When Qin Fen had reached the fifteen-star level, he was barely qualified to extract the first type of true energy to control the battle, that was exactly this scorching true energy!

For this reason, there was a combat skill in Qin Fen’s Godly Fists, that was the Fist of God! However, Qin Fen could only cast Flaming Mountain if Qin Fen displayed this punch. He was unable to merge the Eighteen Dragons Gathering the Clouds and Wind with the Flaming Mountain. The eighteen streams of true energy were intertwined and fused together into a huge Flaming Mountain!

The overwhelming hot energy of the true sun madly attacked Song Wendong’s protective true aura!

“What kind of internal art is this?”

Even the experienced and knowledgable Song Wendong was shocked by this true energy blow. He rapidly moved back without bending his legs as he suddenly shook off the raiding hot energy with the shake of his hand.

Song Wendong was very uncomfortable with this shake. Ever since he became QIlin, only his true energy had invaded other’s bodies. But today, he almost allowed his opponent’s true energy to invade his body. This opponent might have hidden everything before making his move, but had there been a hint of sneak attack, or had he used this move before, he would not have been able to invade. But an invasion was an invasion. There was no excuse for that.

At least as far as the divine beast Qilin was concerned, there should be no excuse.

Master forgot himself in the excitement and hid the Flaming Mountain in the Eighteen Dragons Gathering the Clouds and Wind. He actually made that breakthrough just now. With the battle intent raging in his heart, he appeared before Qilin with the flash of Electric Steps once again. He stretched and rotated his arm, forming a continuous loop as he pressed towards Qilin’s chest in a seemingly powerless manner.

“Bone Melting Palm!”

Song Wendong’s eyelids shuddered. How many ultimate skills has this kid mastered?
