Chapter 449: a.s.sa.s.sination
Translator: Udong_ Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong_
Normal... It looked too normal.
Xian Qiang had never thought that a Soul Weapon can look as simple as an ax for chopping down trees.
Chun Zensheng sneered as if he was about to watch some drama. "I don"t think you can recognize the Soul Weapon unless you forged one before..." He pondered around.
Qian Jin was instantly attracted by this ax. "This is a great weapon! The forging technique used is really impressive. Although the one who made this isn"t as good as Blake, he or she is much better than me." He thought.
Qian Jin bent his back as he lightly knocked the side of the ax. He looked up at Yunxing Huisheng in surprise as he heard the echo. "Master Yunxing, we have a Soul Weapon here? I"m surprised."
"Soul weapon... Soul weapon... Soul weapon..."
This was the only thing that was on Chun Zensheng"s mind. "Where did this kid come from? Can he tell this is a Soul Weapon just by knocking on it? How dare he open his mouth and say what it is without hesitation?" He thought.
Yunxing Huisheng frowned as he thought, "This kid can say this is a Soul Weapon by just knocking on it? I spent several days and nights on it without even going to the washroom in order to say that it is a Soul Weapon."
"Mr. President." Chen Motu bowed at Qian Jin as he said, "It is nice to meet you, I"m vice-president Chen Motu."
People who woke up from the shock all bowed and said, "Mr. President."
There was nothing more need to be said. This young man was so strong that everyone respected his craft. He wasn"t just good at forging, he also knew a lot of knowledge.
"President?" Ray Guamin was desperate. Even if Yunxing Huisheng didn"t recommend Qian Jin, people at the union would push Qian Jin to become the new president when Yunxing Huisheng retires.
"Too bad this Soul Weapon is asleep." Qian Jin sighed. "Why not wake it up?"
"Asleep?" All the wrinkles on Yunxing Huisheng"s face disappeared as he asked, "What asleep? This soul weapon..."
"It is only sleeping." Qian Jin nodded. "Although I don"t know who used it before, it only has been sharpened six times. It is asleep, and it would wake up as soon as it is sharpened..."
"Sharpened?" Yunxing Huisheng felt like the world was spinning in his eyes. Ever since he got this Soul Weapon, he always wanted to revive it. However, he couldn"t sharpen it again since its life was used up.
"The best would be Slide-Cloud Stone." Qian Jin said with a serious expression on his face. "I would need to go to Uncle Fabreidis. I don"t know when he would come back..."
"Mr. President..."
Chen Motu opened his mouth as his expression changed. His pupil contracted, and a frightened expression appeared on his face.
Boom!
Almost at the same time, a huge tree outside of the president"s yard exploded. A dark shadow dashed toward Qian Jin with his palm striking towards him. By just looking at his palm, it felt like the entire yard was under his control. The air pressure in the yard changed, and the dust flowed into the air.
The fire in the furnace flickered under such a pressure violently...
Soul-power Warrior! Qian Jin felt the pressure and raised his hands to struck at the sky as if a lightning was going through his body.
"Qian Jin, die!"
a.s.sa.s.sination.
It wasn"t rare! The Dark Group of Demons would always try to sneak into Zence to a.s.sa.s.sinate important people. That was why the mayor of every city needed to meet the individual strength requirement.
However, it was rare for anyone to try to a.s.sa.s.sinate someone at the Blacksmith Union. All the blacksmiths of Zence and Demons were compet.i.tive, but they never relied on dirty tactics to win.
Blacksmiths had their own honors and glory.
Even the Dark Group of Demons knew that the demon blacksmiths were like idiots. If they a.s.sa.s.sinated any blacksmith in Zence, the first ones to get angry would be the blacksmiths of the Demon Empire.
"It is our mission to defeat the blacksmiths of Zence, you Dark Group can go a.s.sa.s.sinate all the warriors you want."
Under this unspoken rule, there were only thieves at the Blacksmith Union but not no one who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate someone.
The murderous spirit instantly filled the yard, and all the blacksmith couldn"t even react in time.
Ray Guamin, on the other hand, got too excited that all the hair on his body stood up. At this moment, all the fear and worries in his mind disappeared, and the only thought in his mind was to kill Qian Jin! He knew that Qian Jin as on another level after he easily recognized the Soul Weapon.
Central Blacksmith Union? Ray Guamin knew that Ray Family couldn"t take on such a gigantic beast. He knew that Qian Jin could probably get a very important position at Central Blacksmith Union with his abilities, and Ray Family would lose the last bit of chance for revenge.
A huge transparent palm mixed with a special grey Warrior Power struck downwards like a dark cloud. All the bones in Qian Jin"s body squeaked and cracked under such pressure. Suddenly half a s.h.i.+eld appeared in his hand as he pushed all of his Warrior Power into it. A faint light flashed on the surface of the s.h.i.+eld and an umbrella-like s.h.i.+eld made from Warrior Power appeared on top of Qian Jin.
However, it looked like half of an umbrella as if the other half was chopped off by someone.
"This?" Ray Zhen who had a mask on sneered. He was surprised to see this kid not acting under anxiety. "It seems like he knew I was around, but how? My stealth technique was much better than other warriors." He thought.
"Half a s.h.i.+eld? I don"t know where you got that from, but do you think it can hold under the full strike of a Soul-power Warrior like me? Break!" He roared in his mind.
The huge palm made from the grey Warrior Power smashed onto the s.h.i.+eld that looked as weak as an eggsh.e.l.l.
Boom! Crack...
The s.h.i.+eld made from Warrior Power cracked and exploded in the next second.
"What?" However, Ray Zhen was still shocked. Although he destroyed the s.h.i.+eld, the power in his grey palm strike was decreased by 30%. What a strange wrist s.h.i.+eld..." He thought.
"Ray Zhen, I think you are too tired of living."
A loud roar sounded from the outside, and another tree on the other side of the yard exploded. An ax mixed with the green Warrior Power and exerted a huge ax that was more than ten meters long into the air. This ax was so sharp that a lot of blacksmiths felt a pain on their skin. This ax was targeting Ray Zhen.
"Marc Gavin? Why is he here?" Ray Zhen"s skin tightened and hairs straightened. His pupil contracted as he thought, "I have to kill Qian Jin even if I"m killed by this ax."
After his ident.i.ty was exposed, Ray Zhen didn"t try to pretend to be someone else. Soul power that was four meters tall and looked like a devil appeared, and then it went into his body. After merging with his Soul Power, Ray Zhen opened his palm and saw a grey color on his skin. His skin looked like it was stained with a special metal colored paint.
"So this is a Soul-power Warrior from decades ago? A Soul-power Warrior who only need a Soul Weapon to become a Saint?" Qian Jin felt like he was having a hard time breathing as if all the air around him was sucked out and he was in a swamp.
It was hard to move in a swamp.
"Leader Ray, please stop."
Another shout sounded from the direction of Marc Gavin, and another Soul Power appeared in the air. In a short moment, three Soul-power Warriors gathered in the Blacksmith Union. There were only a few Soul-power Warriors in Yulee State.
"York Leigh?" Ray Zhen saw the newcomer with his peripheral vision and was curious why both of these Soul-power Warriors were here.
However, he knew he had to kill Qian Jin.
"d.a.m.n it!" After seeing Ray Zhen didn"t bother to acknowledge him, Leigh got mad. He was invited by Marc Gavin here to secretly watch Qian Jin"s promotion.
He was planning to come out and congratulate Qian Jin after everything was done. He was delighted to see Qian Jin being able to recognize the Soul Weapon so easily, but that delight quickly turned into concern since someone wanted to kill Qian Jin.
"Ray Zhen, if Qian Jin dies here today, you essentially destroyed my path to becoming a Saint Warrior! If that happens, I would wipe out your Ray Family even if my force would decrease in strength for a long time!"
These thoughts appeared in Leigh"s mind as he struck at Ray Zhen ferociously.
Although Marc Gavin and York Leigh were fast, Ray Zhen who moved first was still faster despite his attack was slowed down by the s.h.i.+eld.
Qian Jin took a deep breath as both of his Warrior-Hearts raced in his body. Two completely difference forces rushed into his left arm. The heat from the Heart of Earthy Fire and the Warrior Power from the Warrior-Heart mixed and repelled each other. Qian Jin felt like his arm was about to be torn apart.
However, Qian Jin was still very happy. During this life-and-death situation, he had more potential to be unearthed! He had never succeeded in combining two different energies into one arm, but he finally did it for a short time.
