Chapter 356: The Second Warrior Heart of Qian Jin

He opened his mouth. Puff.
Though equipped with a body protection technique, Qian Chenguang was still hurt by Duren Burg’s bite which was quite painful. Duren’s two steel-nail-like teeth seemed to be the natural bane for breaking apart warrior power, which pierced the body protection technique effortlessly. As crimson blood sprung up from the needle point sized scar, Qian Chenguang felt numb in his arm which was spreading along with the jetting blood.
Toxin? Toxin. The crimson blood turned dark blackish green as it shot out of Qian Chenguang’s arms, carrying a pungent odor. His eyes shrunk quickly, as a chill ran from his back to his brain, causing bean-sized sweats on his forehead. What type of toxin was this? Why did it make the arms numb and congest his warrior power?
Energy connections. Yeah. His energy connections were poisoned. Qian Chenguang felt gravely surprised, in that this type of toxin itself wasn’t violent, but when functioning, it would bring about unimaginably devastating effects. Generally speaking, this toxin could only be used in the blood, how could it flow into the energy connections? It seemed this boy’s abilities to use poison had increased with the growth of his overall strength.
He had to kill Duren Burg as soon as possible. It would be horrific if he became stronger. Qian Chenguang’s eyes turned a little distorted due to the heavy shock. He then seized Duren Burg’s arm and flung it away hard, putting a halt to this cat-and-mouse play. With a strike of the Sky Stealing Palms, he slit the air and pounced directly at Duren Burg’s head.
The strike of Sky Stealing Palms Duren Burg was released in a blink. Duren Burg gripped Qian Chenguang"s arm with his teeth, raised his head and stepped back. However, it was late to avoid the incoming strike.
"Go and die, you…"
Before Qian Chenguang spoke out the word [die], Duren Burg instinctively felt a heavy danger so he beckoned a burning black flame from his right flank to rise up to the sky, which caused the temperature to elevate quickly.
Demon Eye of Destruction. Qian Chenguang felt that his heart was going to pop out of his tongue, and then he performed a move of Sky Stealing Palms to strike at Duren Burg’s head, at the same time rotating his feet to try moving in this Ancient Desert Sea where gravity worked less with great pains.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!…
Shallow sand started to melt away under the high temperature. At the sight of this, Qian Chenguang couldn’t stop the heavy beating of his heart, so he lifted his hand to sweep away the cold sweat on his forehead. Looking blankly at Cech Flet, he roared silently, "Demon Eye of Destruction! Oh my G.o.d, it was Demon Eye of Destruction, the special eyes with awakening power possessed by few Fallen Angel Bloodline Demons Warriors as the legend went!"
It was said that with the increase of strength of the Fallen Angel Bloodline Warrior, the force of Demon Eye of Destruction would increase. A glowing fire given by such enchantment might turn a strong warrior to ashes.
Dangerous. Qian Chenguang couldn’t stop his eyes from cramping. Was it not for his swiftness in eschewing the bash, he would have been severely hurt or possibly killed. Were that beam to hit his head, he would be directly killed. The Demon Eye of Destruction was worthy its t.i.tle of one of the strongest eye techniques of the Demons.
You would be my first victim today. Qian Chenguang twirled his ankle again and made a couple of sandpits with his Sky Stealing Steps. Then he performed a move of Sky Stealing Palms to envelop Cech Flet, determined to kill this guy since his Demon Eye of Destruction was really horrific.
Cech Felt spread his black wings thoroughly and moved to the other side swiftly and adroitly while continuously adjusting the wings in the air. Due to the constant changing of his wings, he seemed to be sliding to the right side when in fact he was moving to the left. A crevice seemed to be forming in the drooping clouds.
Want to flee? Qian Chenguang swiftly altered the sequence of his warrior power and released five times the gravity force of Kun-fighting Technique. Cech Flet was forced to slump down, which drastically reduced his speed. A big ball of sand particles was formed to grasp his ankles.
A warrior and mage dual trainer. Qian Chenguang the Elf-king Bloodline Warrior was set on fire, showing the crus.h.i.+ng might of ultimate bloodline power. While Cech Flet launched another move of Demon Eye of Destruction but failed to hit Qian Chenguang who was in the vortex of Sky Stealing Steps. As a beat of Sky Stealing Palms had enveloped over him, Cech Flet felt it impossible for him to fly away however hard he might try. It was at this moment he felt like a fish trapped in the net, and eventually, he realized the true power of a Level 9 Demon Slayer.
Even with the help of Demon Eye of Destruction, Cech Flet as a Level 4 Demon Capturer was unable to defeat a Level 9 Demon Slayer by himself. At least in the face of the Elf-king Bloodline Warriors, a Fallen Angel Bloodline Warrior didn"t own any advantages.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss…
Qian Chenguang had even felt that the warrior power in his palm had touched Cech Flet"s skin. But the next minute he was exposed to an eerie sizzling sound and smas.h.i.+ng impact force which caused his Sky Stealing Steps to alter ceaselessly. While losing balance temporarily, a loophole occurred in his move of Sky Stealing Palms, allowing Cech Flet to slide away like a slimy fish.
Another performer of Demon Eye of Destruction? Qian Chenguang could hardly stand straight when he felt shocked and looked to Lucifer Lucy. How could this demon girl be another possessor of the Demon Eye of Destruction? Had the Lucifer Family embarked on the ma.s.s production of the Demon Eye of Destruction? If so…it would mean big trouble.
Qian Wushan was by now the only one in the current generation of Qians who had activated the G.o.d Eye of Innumerable Spell. Qian Chenguang shook his waist to activate magic scroll to give out a dazzling light, triggering the surrounding golden sand to wriggle rapidly and blow his sharp saber from the ground back to his hands.
Whoosh. A harsh whoosh came from the air. Qian Chenguang flung his wrist to toss his saber behind him. Hitting upon the saber, the arrow immediately blew up and splintered into numerous wooden bits to bob in the air. The head of the warrior weapon arrow flew back to the other side.
"This boy of the Fanta Family couldn’t be overlooked either." Qian Chenguang cast a look at the s.h.i.+vering saber and the arrows on the ground. "Is that a warrior weapon? Luckily I didn’t stand straight to defend against this shot as the body-protection technique wouldn’t be able to withstand it."
"You four…" The pride on Qian Chenguang’s fair-skinned face was reduced by half and was replaced by a sullen look as if a layer of pan bottom ash had been smeared there. He was confident to catch or even kill each and every single one of them for an individual combat. But in the case of their alliance, and with the help of some special means, Qian Chenguang felt them a tough team to be dealt with.
If Qian Jin was there with them… for the first time, Qian Chenguang felt a sense of fearfulness. If Qian Jin showed up and played the dominant role, he might be killed on spot here today. Such a team would appear as a strong team on the human-demon battlefront
The human-demon battlefront was full of danger, where even the bloodline warriors and their retinue would form teams before going there. This team… Qian Chenguang felt an obscure sense of jealousy. Apart from the lack of a mage, this team could be deemed as a perfect one.
Qian Chenguang kept flinging his saber to cut down the blood b.u.mps on his arm. On the exposed flesh, half of the pungent venom remained. Yet the toxin in the energy connections couldn’t be expelled in one go and Qian Chenguang had to hold it back his warrior power with great efforts temporarily in order to decrease the speed of the toxin.
"What type of toxin was this? Being a Level 9 Demon Slayer, I’m not able to hold back the venom generated by a Level 3 Demon Capturer with the help of my warrior power, let alone fully eliminate it. I have to finish them off as soon as possible and go back to the Qian Family to have a pharmacist detoxify me." He thought.
After a short period of pondering, Qian Chenguang looked to the ever hotter sand under his feet. Admittedly the Ancient Desert Sea was at a high temperature, however, the present heat wasn"t normal. Was that to say…Qian Jin was buried in the sand? Right. Since he had been devastatingly injured and without the help of the Snake King, he had nowhere to hide except here.
"Qian Jin…" The sullen look on Qian Chenguang’s face was gradually replaced by a vicious smile. "He should be lying in the sun stepped under my feet now? Don’t you worry that he might be burnt to death? Let me dig him out to see whether he has been burnt alive yet…"
Was this heat? Or painfulness? Qian Jin couldn’t tell exactly what he was feeling at this moment. In the meantime Jiuyang Flame Iron was emitting heat energy frantically, the moves of the Forge Breathing Technique were absorbing the surging heat generated by the former into Qian Jin’s bosom, which then clashed and entwined with the Latent Thunder Fighting Technique.
The impact of the Latent Thunder Fighting Technique and the turbulent heat energy from the Forge Breathing Technique were devouring each and every inch of Qian Jin’s skin and organs. He felt like there were millions of hippopotamuses rus.h.i.+ng at and fighting against each other inside of him.
The past several seconds seemed like ages for Qian Jin. In the dizziness which was about to drive him into a coma, he iterated the words which had been haunting his mind for the past two years. "Wind has no particular form, no weapon could injure it. Cloud has no particular shape, no s.p.a.ce could contain it."
"I’m like the wind, which has no particular form, yet no weapon can injure it. I’m like the cloud, which has no particular shape, while no s.p.a.ce can contain it."
All of a sudden, the Wind and Cloud Warrior Power, which had long exited from the battlefield to serve as a defensive force, seemed to have been brought back to life. Having sloughed off the defensive veneer, the Wind and Cloud Warrior Power was now subject to the blowing of the Latent Thunder and the melting of high temperature. They took on the form of wind and cloud, to be changed in shape but never to be eliminated in essence.
The tripart.i.te commotion began to show strange changes all of a sudden. The firepower of the Forge Breathing Technique had ceased to attack his Wind and Cloud Warrior Power, while the latter had also stopped its bas.h.i.+ng at the former. The two forms of power seemed to have joined an alliance to besiege the Latent Thunder Fighting Technique.
The Forge Breathing Technique which could absorb the heat energy on a large scale during a short period of time had gradually formed a strange yet familiar existence in the energy connections
Warrior-Heart? Qian Jin felt somewhat puzzled and uncertain.
Warrior-Heart? Wasn’t a warrior allowed to have only one Warrior Heart? Qian Jin kept twisting his eyebrows, while the heat flux produced by the Forge Breathing Technique was wriggling and condensing at a fast speed to swallow, consolidate, and cultivate the heat energy of Jiuyang Flame Iron into its own domain.
The dead warrior reservoirs and energy connections. For the past thousands of years, no report about someone exploiting the hidden power in the dead warrior reservoirs and energy connections had ever been made. Even the six bloodline warriors with ultimate awakening power hadn’t discovered any traces of power in the dead warrior reservoirs. But now, the use of Forge Breathing Technique demonstrated that there was strong power in such dead warrior reservoirs, which had also given birth to a second Warrior Heart.
