165 THE BLACK FIRE EMPEROR
“Beast is able to practice with absorbed Qi from the atmosphere too. When compared to humans who are characterized by superior intelligence, beasts have a higher natural affinity towards Qi. They could absorb natural energy at a much faster rate than us and have a higher cultivation speed.”
“Nature instilled them with more than one benefit in terms of natural talent. Even their bodies are much stronger when compared to humans. It would be better just to not compare the two. His strength is more apparent within the King and emperor class boundary, as the gap within the qualities is not that different.”
“It is the same reason why the three emperor class practitioners decided to form a coalition and fight the beast together. If the fight would have been a one on one fight, the emperor would lose without a doubt, since the beast has already realized the emperor boundary.”
The first collision resulted in massive energy vibration around the area. As expected, the fight which began on an equal foot began to incline in favor of the three practitioners.
One of them was a fist practitioner while the other one was a sword practitioner. Both of them were tasked with engaging the beats, while the major damage was done by the meek-looking practitioners in the back. He looked like a practitioner in a long-ranged attack and an array master.
“Either of you should watch this fight carefully. A fight between emperor level practitioners will benefit you a lot.”. The advice was heeded by both the sect leader and Lu Ming. They began to concentrate their entire attention on the fight. The insights gained solved a lot of doubts about Lu Ming’s mind.
................................................
Long Tao gained some inspiration to advance the Dominator’s fist. Even his movement art got a lot of additional insights from the actions of the cultivators. Especially the sword user. As a purely offensive art user, his actions were based purely on the offensive aspect. The footwork concentrated on speed and precision. Long Tao found some inspiration for integrating this type of artwork with the capabilities of the flash step.
The fist user seemed to be a body practitioner. “What is the current realm in body cultivation.”
.....
“I refrain from trying to probe him. An emperor practitioner would be able to notice by scan easily. Although the artifact managed to mend a lot of damage, we still can’t contend with emperor level practitioner. I would advise you to do the same. Use the artifact you have refined by using the weapon tempering formula and those you obtain in the future.”
“How long before I can start using the crimson lord artifact freely?”
“You are far from the required strength level.”
“I do feel that he must be in a higher realm than me. If fought purely in terms of body strength, I would lose to him.”
“That is a given fact boy. Although I doubt, he opened all his meridians like you. He must have rushed to open the acupoints and meridians simultaneously. The progress is far slower when compared to you, and he doesn’t even have an artifact like the crimson lord world.”
“I would like you to concentrate on the sword user as of now. The array user is far out of your limits of understanding. The sword user is the best specimen for observation as of now. You should use him for reference for your self-developed skill.”. The Keeper insisted Long Tao continue on the development of his own skills after seeing the power of the Dominator’s fist in the match with Blood general.
....................................................
The fight-
“I request both of you to prepare for the final attack. I would require around 10 min to prepare my attack. I wouldn’t be able to support your people until then. I request you to hold him off until then.”
The fist practitioner looked at the sword user and said “I will aim for his head; you need to use the opportunity to strike its underbelly.”. The underbelly was the region which was weakest in terms of outer shell protection.”. The sword user nodded in agreement. He decided to move back and prepare for the final swing.
The fist practitioner concentrated a huge amount of Qi into his fist and rushed towards the beast. As he neared its head, he changed the direction of attack and hit its face right under the chin. It led to the beast’s body being pushed upwards, exposing the underbelly section.
The swordmaster used this opportunity to rush directly towards its underbelly while holding hi sword parallel to his body. He curved his body mid-air, the blade along with him, and used the momentum gained from the circular movement to give a powerful strike to the beast underbelly.
The sword pierced its thick flesh and blood started to spray out. The impact caused the beast to fly back, exposing its injured area to the third practitioner.
The last person managed to complete his attack meanwhile and pointed his fingers at the beats. An incredible attack flew out of his body. A painful cry could be heard from the beast’s mouth as it was blasted back causing a huge crater to be formed in the spot where its body landed.
.....................................
“That must have been the end of it.”. No joy or relief was visible in the faces of the three practitioners.
“Look carefully.” The first elder advised Lu Ming. When the dust settled, a figure began visibly. Lu Ming was shocked after experiencing the scene. Although the beast was gravely injured, it was alive. How tenacious of it to still stand up. The three practitioners were on their guard prepared to attack, but the next scene came as a surprise.
The beast spread its wing and rushed away from the three. It was trying to escape from this fight. “As expected, it chose to give up on the vein.”
“Once a beast enters the king level it manages to gains sentience of the level of us humans. It knew that this fight was not one it could win and hence decided to escape.”
“The three practitioners look exhausted from the last fight, should we rush in and snatch the resources.” The sect leader asked.
“The real fight begins now. The three of them performed as a group before this, but the situation has changed now. They are now remaining aware of each other.”
“Also, we don’t seem to be only one watching the fight earlier.”
.....................................
“I hope the two Daoist wouldn’t go back on their words and divide the resource in the equal portion between the three of us.”
“I don’t object to the proposal.” The fist practitioner took the incentive to reply back. “Neither am I.” The sword practitioner naturally agreed.
Just as the three were about to rush in, another voice sounded. “I thank the fellow practitioners for taking care of the beast earlier. I would request you get lost now.” A hooded figure carrying a bone sword appeared before the three of them. It pushed the three people into alert once more.
“We would like the fellow Daoist to not be unreasonable. Since we took care of the beast, the resource belongs to us three.”
The person carrying the bone sword laughed and unsheathed his sword. A deadly aura spread around the atmosphere. Even Lu Ming could feel his spine gone cold and his legs shivering.
“You are...The Bone demon of black devil church.”
“So nice for younglings to remember my name. Since you do know who I am, please fuck off.”
The three figures began to prepare for the offensive. They knew that the bone demon was way out of their league, but a single slash took care of all three. The injuries and exhaustion from the previous fight had drained most of the Qi from the three. How could they confront the bone demon in such disadvantageous situations?
...???..................................
The first elder stood up. “it’s time to enter the stage.”. He began to rush towards the pit.
The bone demon was about to go for the second slash when the sword practitioner took out a slate. “I am a member of the sword pool. I hope you can let me go.”. A similar scenario occurred in the case of the other two. They too were affiliated with various forces.
“I do respect the standing of your organization, but I would like you to get buried here. We can’t let this news spread.”
He raised his bone sword and was about to slash when an extreme feeling of mortal danger appeared out of nowhere. Without a second thought, he dodged back.
“You shouldn’t bully someone from the younger generation, bone demon.” The first elder appeared before the three figures.
...................................
“Could master take care of such a strong opponent?”
The sect leader looked at Lu Ming with an amused expression.” Although the master hasn’t shown his prowess in a long time due to his injuries, his name still brings horror even in the dreams of his enemies. When you officially enter the emperor class, you are titled given your strength is strong enough. In the master’s case, his title was...”
“BLACK FIRE EMPEROR.” The bone demon said with a scared tone.
