Chapter 128: One Against Four! Soaring Cannon!

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Those who trained in martial arts could be described nicely as people with pride in their bones. They could also be described bluntly as people who regarded face as all-important. It was impossible for the members of the Guardian Deity Sect to give Dragon Hall’s sign to Qin Fen with this many people watching.

As the expressions of the four people changed, Qin Fen knew that his conjectures were totally correct. These four people could not do without face. They chose to fight.

“Thirty-Six Hours, if we just give Dragon Hall’s sign back to you just like this, then we of the Guardian Deity Sect will have to close up shop as well.”

“You want the sign? Then you need to take out money and buy it back.”

“Otherwise, we fight.”

“Tell us what is your choice.”

Qin Fen slowly opened up a fighting stance. He had already paid money to the system for Dragon Hall’s sign when he first founded Dragon Hall. Naturally, he found it unreasonable to have to spend money twice on a single sign. If he were to buy the sign back, he wouldn’t need to keep his sect open in the future. Other people would know of this matter, and no one would come and spend money to enter Dragon Hall.

The four leaders of the Guardian Deity sect felt no surprise when it came to Qin Fen’s actions. Thirty-Six Hours had a large reputation for loving money. This was an extremely famous matter in the forums under the four-star level. His actions befitted his character.

The fight was now unavoidable. Qin Fen didn’t give the four leaders of the Guardian Deity Sect any chance to separate from each other. He chose the utilize the pressurized Dragon Elephant Prajna Art in the first instant. The pants that covered his two legs bulged and stretched in an instant from his muscles. His entire body turned into an artillery shell under the enormous driving power of his two legs.

The four leaders of the Guardian Deity Sect weren’t surprised by Qin Fen’s sudden attack. What truly shocked them was Qin Fen’s speed. It was a speed that no four-star expert should possess at all! Ten meters of distance didn’t seem to exist at all beneath his feet!

He was upon them in an instant, and Qin Fen didn’t care who he faced, be it Growth, VastEye, Many Rumors, or Wielding the Nation!

Whenever his left or his right foot slammed into the ground, the earth would shake regardless! His left arm shifted to the front of his stomach, and his right arm passed within the crook of his left arm, coming upward from an angle in a vertical punch. His fist came smashing at his opponent.

Flood Fist! Soaring Cannon!

The only thing the four leaders of the Guardian Deity Sect felt was the shaking of the earth beneath their feet. Qin Fen’s body was like an enormous artillery frame on the battlefield. The feet that tread the ground was none other than the recoil generated from the enormous bombardment. His fist was the artillery shell that was launched from his chest, and it came bombarding over!

Should they withdraw? It was already too late. Qin Fen’s speed was far too fast!

Should they besiege him and distract him, thus relieving the pressure off the one being attacked? This was even more of an impossibility. The three leaders of the Guardian Deity who wasn’t being attacked could not compare to Qin Fen, who had stored up his power and suddenly unleashed it. They could only look on helplessly as their comrade went to take Qin Fen’s attack head-on. This was an attack that was of the ultimate power of four-stars and shouldn’t even appear on the four-star level!

It was impossible for Growth to dodge, but he would be able to react with a counterattack were he to take the attack. The Golden Bell Shield covered his entire body. His eyes sharply increased in size, his eyeballs seemingly about to stick out of their sockets. He was just like the guardian deity of the legends that glared with eyes of fury.

He raised his arm and lifted his elbow, forming a stance that was just like the lotus seat that Buddha sat in! The form Bodhimanda of the Guardian Deity Fist sealed off all frontal routes of Qin Fen’s Soaring Cannon.

The cloth on Qin Fen’s right shoulder instantly burst at the seams. His muscles bulged and dozens of large veins entwined on the surface. The Soaring Cannon’s fist smashed upon the Bodhimanda form at the same time.

Boom! Fist and arms intersected, causing a sound that wasn’t like that of human flesh colliding together. Instead, it was more like the sound of a clash between giant temple bells.

The disciples of the Guardian Deity Sect stood five meters away. Even they could feel the ground shake! They saw an unbelievable scene at the same time. Growth’s Bodhimanda stance had been broken!

The Soaring Cannon’s remaining energy pierced through the Bodhimanda form and smashed into the chest, simply blasting Growth away over a dozen meters.

The disciples of the Guardian Deity Fist were all stupefied now. Growth was already past the age of forty. He trained hard in the Guardian Deity Fist and the Guardian Deity Fist for many years, reaching the limits possible for the Golden Bell Shield at the four-star level. He also had many years immersed in the Guardian Deity Fist. Its essence and spirit seeped deep within him.

It wasn’t impossible for Growth to be defeated, but it was far too absurd for him to be defeated in a single move! And this time he was defeated so utterly, so simply! This was far outside the expectations of the disciples of the Guardian Deity Sect!

Growth, whose body was currently disappearing, found his defeat even more unbelievable than the others. The instant they clashed just now, the power of Thirty-Six Hours’ Dragon Elephant Prajna Art had indeed been enormous. However, the energy circulation method that protected his body was absolutely not that of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art!

It was the Golden Bell Shield! Or was it the Iron Mantle? Or was it the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians? Growth found it impossible to discern the technique, but he could faintly feel a hint of an extremely familiar method, and that method was the Golden Bell Shield!

Wasn’t the only internal art that Thirty-Six Hours cultivated in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art? It should be impossible for him to be dual-cultivating in the Golden Bell Shield, right? Growth’s body was almost entirely faded away by now. He thought about how a single fist of Thirty-Six Hours had killed him and wondered what in the world the man looked like. He wondered just how old the man was.

The other onlookers on the street were all stupefied as well. They were shocked at how Qin Fen had killed Growth, someone who cultivated the Golden Bell Shield to the peak of four-star, with a single strike. At the same time, they were even more shocked by Qin Fen’s attack itself.

It was the Flood Fist!

Of all the time Thirty-Six Hours spent on the Sky Battle Net, the only fist technique he used was none other than the fitness exercise of fist forms, the Shaolin Arhat Fist.

Everyone was used to it. They thought that Thirty-Six Hours only knew how to use this fitness exercise of fist forms.

They never imagined that this greedy money-sucking vampire actually knew a different set of fist forms! He knew a different set of fitness exercise fist forms! The Flood Fist!

The people observing the battle were astonished, but the three leaders of the Guardian Deity Sect had no time for shock. A moment of shock would only result in their deaths!

VastEye was now the opponent closest to Qin Fen. His muscular waist twisted, and he shot out. His left hand concealed behind his waist was flung out with the waist’s momentum. It was akin to a sudden strike of a viper that lay hidden within the grass, and this viper sought to bite Qin Fen in the throat!

“VastEye is using the Dragon Snake — even great sages will find it a headache.”

In mythology, the Heavenly King Virupaksa had a dragon coiled around his body. Sometimes this dragon was a snake, and this dragon-snake became something quite lively when evolved into a fist technique.

Whether it was a dragon or a snake, it all represented transformation! VastEye used his waist as the source of his power, swinging out an arm that was sinister to the extreme. This was none other than the essence of Heavenly King Virupaksa’s Guardian Deity Fist.

Virupaksa Snake Evocation let out waves and waves of crisp echoes. The hairs on Qin Fen’s entire body stood completely on end. If he were bitten, the only result would be death!

The rumbling Soaring Cannon suddenly stopped. His two legs bent at the knees into a squat, he changed the direction of his right fist to move left and downward to cross with his left palm before his knees. The left palm turned into a fist and followed along with his right arm in a level push.

Flood Fist! Level Heart Cannon!

The change was done in the most opportune manner. Not only did Qin Fen avoid the Virupaksa Snake Evocation, but Qin Fen was also just like a tank in this frontal charge with knees bent in a squat. He charged upon VastEye’s body. The Level Heart Cannon was the artillery shell that came bombarding from a tank’s barrel!

Bang !

VastEye flew even higher and further than Growth did when defeated!

This fist made the shocked onlookers feel as if they saw an illusion. What struck VastEye was no fist, but a true and genuine cannon strike!

Quite a few fist techniques possessed several cannon fists, but Qin Fen’s cannon fist gave everyone the sensation of a real cannon!

Qin Fen had used two cannon fists to kill two people. He already exhausted the pressurized Dragon Elephant Prajna Art inside his body, but a wave suddenly swept his mind.

In the past, Qin Fen believed that he had already struck with the essence of this Flood Fist. It was only in this recent moment that he realized something. His thoughts in the past were wrong.

He never had a chance to touch a real cannon or firearm before he became a soldier. Therefore, how was it possible for him to truly understand what a real cannon was?

Qin Fen operated individual firearms in practice now. He now had a true understanding of firearms. The two cannon fists he struck out with today were done in a manner that was indescribably easy for Qin Fen.

He eliminated two opponents on the same level as him in a single breath. These opponents were experts who should have lots of experience fighting. Qin Fen’s morale was greatly bolstered. He turned to eat Many Rumors, who came leaping at him. He struck out with a hand cannon that was mixed with the remnant power of his two previous cannon fists.

The previous two strikes of pressurized cannon fists possessed terrifying might. When Many Rumors saw Qin Fen strike with a hand cannon, he swayed with his body completely by instinct. His ankles swayed along, making his moves look like a dance as he dodged the hand cannon. He turned over his hand to strike Qin Fen in the nape with a knife-hand strike.

The Guardian Deity Dance! Qin Fen only heard rumors of it before. This was the first time really seeing it. The Dragon Guard, a classical move of the Shaolin Arhat Fist, appeared once more!

Many Rumors’ knife-hand strike missed, and Wielding the Nation entered the circle of battle. He made a large stride, and his spine curved into a powerful bow. His right arm transformed into a sharp arrow, the arm rotating before shooting out! The Great Guardian Deity Wheel, having accumulated power for quite some time so far, cast a shadow over Qin Fen’s skull as it struck out. This was the most firm and fierce strike of the Guardian Deity Fist!

Qin Fen couldn’t avoid this move even if he wanted to! Excitement radiated within the furious eyes of Wielding the Nation. At last, he could avenge his two brothers with this fist. He could finally break the legendary winning streak of Thirty-Six Hours!

The muscles of Qin Fen’s entire body trembled simultaneously. His ankles twisted completely in sync with his waist. There was no longer a hint of a Dragon’s form with the Dragon Guard. He was completely like a viper in the middle of a field of grass.

Not only did Wielding the Nation feel quite uncomfortable when his firm strike of the Great Guardian Deity Wheel struck nothing but air, Qin Fen moved before Wielding the Nation’s true energy could recirculate through his chest. Qin Fen’s body turned to the right during the Dragon Guard, his right fist passed through the crook of his right leg, moving at a forward angle in a bizarre directional hook. He struck with what was known as the funniest move of the Flood Fist.

Full Belly Pain.

Wielding the Nation had lost his strength, and could not generate new strength in time. It was already too late for him to Dodge or resist Qin Fen strike. Qin Fen’s fist simply struck him into bending into the shape of a prawn.

Thud…

Wielding the Nation slowly knelt to the ground, his body fading bit by bit.

In a short few breaths of time, three of the leaders of the Guardian Deity Sect had been defeated. Such a battle result made all the onlookers stunned just by watching.

Even if the four leaders of the Guardian Deity Sect didn’t have time to utilize their joint attack techniques, they still should not have lost this quickly, this miserably based on their outstanding individual strengths.

Three of the leaders of the Guardian Deity Sect were defeated in battle. Many Rumors, who had utilized the Guardian Deity Dance to avoid Qin Fen’s attack, had faint sorrow flash within his eyes. The shock he had in the past had long since been swept clean. The aura of his body clearly changed at this moment.

He walked calmly toward Qin Fen, every step firm and full of power. His movements were clear and extremely steady, however, it gave one the sensation of a dance.

Qin Fen’s eyes lit up. The sight of the defeat of his comrades had eliminated the timidness in Many Rumors’ heart. He turned into a true opponent worthy of battle.

Neither of the sides spoke a word nor engaged in conversation. Their rights legs suddenly stomped the ground at the same time, each of them turning into afterimages that collided together.

The moment Qin Fen unleashed the Tiger Lunge he was most proficient in, Many Rumors’ body began to sway back and forth as he moved forward. Qin Fen attack clearly appeared to be impossible to dodge, but Many Rumors dodged past it with ease. At the same time, his calf transformed into something like a garden snake that came biting at Qin Fen’s calf. However, Qin Fen used his signature move the Dragon Guard, which countless people knew, to easily dodge past.

The next several dozen seconds caused everyone of all the other sects on the streets to be stupefied. They wondered if these two were fighting in a friendly match. From the beginning until now, not only did they not make full contact once, not even the lightest of bodily contact was made.
