Chapter 179: Hard Fight 2
179 Hard Fight 2
In the moment of confusion, Alex took out Leoz"s card out of his inventory.
"Leoz. What are you doing right now? I need your help."
"You can call me immediately, Young Master."
"Can you kill a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster or 1-Star Martial Grandmaster in ambush?" Alex said, hurriedly. The time of their confusion is not long after all.
"I"m not confident with the 3-Star Martial Grandmaster. But I"m absolutely sure I can kill a 1-Star Martial Grandmaster instantly in an ambush. I level up to 19 thanks to Young Master effort with Anna these few weeks."
"Do you think it is possible for us along with Anna to kill a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster?"
"I"m not sure."
"How about with the addition of my Array?" Alex asked. But before Leoz answered, Alex saw the two servants of Xian Hui suddenly turned their focus on him. "Be ready, I will summon you next to a 1-Star Martial Grandmaster at any moment."
When the two servants suddenly charged toward him. Alex immediately activate Leoz"s card. "Summon!"
A muscular with yellow hair suddenly appeared beside Xian Jian while swinging his big sword. "Yellow Thunder Fang"
"Xian Jian, beside you!" Xian Tao, who has higher cultivation, noticed the appearance of a new guy beside Xian Jian. Xian Jian turned his head to the side, but that is the last thing he does. Before the thunderous strike pa.s.sed through his neck and killed him.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Xian Tao was thoroughly angered. A big snake appeared from his sword, wanting to bit Leoz. "Serpent Sword"
"Sanguin Sword Art. Elemental Fourteenth Slash" Of course Alex didn"t let him do so. He immediately released a sword wave with his full might and cut the snake. Leoz immediately took the chance to regroup with Alex.
"How is it? Can you occupy him with your power alone?"
"I"m not too sure about it. But I will try."
"I think we need Anna to use "Dark Curtain". In that moment of darkness, I will strike him. With my Spirit Eyes, I can still see his position and avoid friendly fire. For now, there are three minutes left before I can summon Anna again. You will take the vanguard. I will support you."
"Understood" Leoz nodded.
"You! What are you! You are not a normal 4-Star Martial Master. There is no way they have such a powerful attack like that." Xian Tao is pointing his finger at Alex. Someone like him surely from a big influence. But because he killed Xian Hui. Either way, his life would be forfeited by the family because he failed to protect Xian Hui. It"s better to drag Alex too. "But since you killed my Young Master. Even if I go back, I will be killed by them. I better drag you down with me."
"Want to kill my Young Master? Over my dead body!" Said Leoz as he started rus.h.i.+ng toward Xian Hui, "Thunder Constellation."
Suddenly, there is a kind of Star Constellation. But the shape looks like a Pivot Stickfigure. There are thirteen points in the constellation. One in the head, two on each hand and foot, and four in the body. Just like a star, the spots s.h.i.+ning brightly before suddenly each of them produced thunder, and their target is Xian Tao.
(AN: Pivot Stickfigure=Stickman)
"Rank 2 Array. Binding Chain" Alex made an array with his hand. He put back his spear. This is the last way how to make an array besides planting it on the ground or wall for continuous usage and drawing them on Monster Beast Skin so other than an Array Master can use an Array. What Alex doing right now is a direct way of the second way.
An Array plate with forty patterns has appeared, and four chains emerged from it. Each of them bind Xian Tao"s hands and feet.
"What! You...You are an Array Master" Xian Tao was surprised by Alex"s ident.i.ty. Offending an Array Master is a very important matter. Even Xian Family won"t offend an Array Master easily.
There"s once a big family offending an Array Master. The Array Master was able to escape from his pursuers. Then, when the time he came back for revenge. He made a large Array, and his target is the family"s giant mansion. When the time he activated the array. The array engulfed everything inside it and kills the entire family. Even the strongest person in that family, a peak Martial Lord, was unable to escape and buried along with the rest of his family.
Overpowered individual ability, unknown background, and many others. He is very sure that Alex has someone very powerful behind him. But now the thing has escalated this way. He can"t say it is all a misunderstanding and be done with it. He needs to kill Alex to prevent something like the story, happening to the Xian Family.
When the chains bind his hands and feet. He immediately released the full might of 3-Star Martial Grandmaster and broke free from the restrain. He quickly punches toward the lightning strike that soon reaches him. "Soaring Fist"
As his punch fully launched, a loud sound suddenly echoing in the cave. The thirteen lightning strikes exploded before they can reach Xian Tao. He then appeared in front of Leoz as he throws another punch toward him. Of course, Leoz able to react for that. Thunder has been covering his sword when Xian Tao moves toward him.
"Soaring Fist"
"Yellow Thunder Fang"
This clash shook the cave. Leoz crashed onto the wall and spat some blood. It seems that this "Xian Tao" is even stronger with his fist than his sword. After he blew Leoz to the wall, he throws another punch toward Leoz while Leoz can"t break free after planted on the wall. Of course, Alex can"t let him do that. He immediately covered his sword with his Spear Intent.
"Luminous Spear Technique. Pierce"
The target oh this stream of light is Xian Tao"s fist. Before his fist reaches Leoz"s chest. Alex"s Luminous Spear Technique tries to pierce his fist.
"Boom!"
The fist landed on the wall an inch away from Leoz. Although Alex can"t pierce Xian Tao"s fist, he managed to deflect it a bit so it won"t hit Leoz. And because of that fist, Leoz broke free from his restraint and went back beside Alex swiftly.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Alex only nodded to him. Anna"s cooldown finally finished. He took out Anna"s card from his back and summoned her. It"s a bit shame that he can"t summon Anna within five minutes after he summoned her. If not, what kind of attack pattern will that be... he will be matchless. He can summon Leoz after he recalled him was because he summoned him almost a month ago, and the cooldown has finished long ago. Anna appeared behind him.
"To think you also have Spear Intent. That is more reason why I need to kill you. And that woman. I will surely make her accompany the Third Young Master in the next life." Xian Tao looked at Alex and the rest hatefully.
"Anna, can you use your energy to decrease his reaction speed?"
"I"m sorry Young Master. I am afraid I can"t do that because of our difference in strength."
"I see. You will be our support for now with me. Leoz will be the vanguard."
"Understood" Both of them replied.
"Leoz, try to distract him with your "Thunder Constellation" again. While he is distracted, I want Anna to raise the "Dark Curtain" up."
Both of them nodded. Leoz raised his hand. "Thunder Constellation"
Thirteen Thunder strike down toward Xian Tao. He casually punches the thunders with his "Soaring Fist" while looking at the destroyed lightning, "It"s useless. Although you three possessed a remarkable ability. Our difference is too big."
"Dark Curtain"
The instant Xian Tao looked upward while destroying the thunders. Anna immediately raised her "Dark Curtain". All the cave immediately becomes pitch black without any light to see. Alex uses his Spirit Eyes to see Xian Tao"s position and aiming his attack on there.
"Sanguin Sword Art. Elemental Fourteenth Slash"
"What!" Because of the sudden changes. Xian Tao was bewildered, before he recognized what is happening, Alex"s Sanguin Sword Art has cut one of his hands. Unfortunately, because of his surprise, he moves a little and manages to avoid Alex"s Sword Wave. And Alex"s Sword Wave continue flying toward the end of the Dark Curtain and blasted it. The Dark Curtain crumbled to pieces after it got cut by the sword wave.
"Argh!" Xian Tao is clenching his hand painfully. He glared madly toward Alex and the rest. "You are the one who forced me to take this pill."
He swallowed a pill, and suddenly, the energy around him sparked, and he becomes 5-Star Martial Grandmaster. Alex frowned, "That is Rank 3 Ferocious Pill. Ferocious Pill focused only on Martial artists in Grandmaster Stage. It makes the user didn"t feel any moment and forcefully advance his cultivation. It is the last struggle pill. After the pill effect ended, he will be weakened."
"That"s right. Now I am a 5-Star Martial Grandmaster, I will definitely kill you with this pill."
"This is bad. What can I do..." Alex immediately used all of his brainpower to think up a solution. And ultimately, he found a solution, but he wasn"t sure if it doable or not. He thought about escaping using his Teleportation Array Plate. But the moment he thought about that, his memory about the Hero and Alicia flashed his mind.
The so-called one of the biggest families in the Zhou Kingdom, won"t let their Young Master go with only Grandmaster Stage Martial artists as his protector, won"t they? If he escaped from here and Xian Tao informs their Xian Family. A tragedy like Alicia might happen again. He needs to kill his opponent. If not, they might retaliate against him later.
"Anna, Leoz. Can you buy me time for a few...no, one second is enough?" Alex asked.
"If we combine our strength. Maybe" Leoz nodded. Anna also nodded.
[Host, are you sure about that?]
Just like that. The System also knows what his plan is without even explaining.
"It"s a gamble, though. I need to be sure that I won"t regret my decision to spare my enemy anymore." Alex said, wryly.
The System didn"t say anything more. Alex raised his sword, and suddenly, the Fire Element from the pond go toward his sword using his body as a medium. He spat blood because of that. Using his body as a medium for those energies is a very reckless thing. Anna and Leoz who saw him doing that gritted their teeth. They wanted to complain about their Young Master to do such a reckless thing but they can"t at the moment. Because, if he stopped it, the rebound effect would be higher. They gritted their teeth as they moved forward as Xian Tao also become restless. When he saw Alex"s technique, He felt dread even though he doesn"t know what Alex is going to do.
The moment Xian Tao charged toward Alex. Anna and Leoz intercepted him.
"Genesis Bind"
"Thunder Ring"
A black hole appeared on the ground with a few black like tentacles rose from it and bind Xian Tao. Leoz also created four yellow ring, sparking with thunder on Xian Tao"s hands and feet.
"Full Throttle!" Alex finally used this technique. "Full Throttle" is a technique Alex got from the gacha after he won the Tournament in Limewatch Town. The technique will increase his strength by 20% for five minutes. After five minutes, he will be weakened by 50% for three hours. And he can only use this technique once in a day. He didn"t have any chance to use this technique since he wasn"t desperate enough to use it. But this time is different. If he did not use it at this moment, when will he use it...
A second later, Xian Tao released himself from that restraint by force. "Haha, you won"t be able to restrict me with that puny strength."
"No. That"s enough, I just need to make sure you can"t dodge my technique." As he said that, Alex swung his sword down. "Seven Stars Cut"
He formed three layers Sword Wave and infused them with his Pure Fire. Then, his Sword Intent worked like magic and fused the three layers into one, giving it a more powerful impact in the Sword Wave. After using "Seven Stars Cut", Alex spat blood.
"You can"t defeat me!" Xian Tao felt dread on this sword wave. This is a different technique from before. But he can"t dodge it, he can only counter it with his fist. "Soaring Fist"
