Chapter 90 – Faster, Harder, Stronger (1/2)
The thin hand carried Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s body off his horse and moved towards the end of Hundred Blossom Street. Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s body moved as fast as an arrow as it cut through the rain. A clear mark was seen on the marble floor as the hand and Tian Hai Sheng Xue traveled several dozens of yards away.
The hand belonged to a tall and thin elder. His attire was casual and his shoulders were high. He looked ancient but there was a trace of a warlike scent. Under his thin hands, Tian Hai Sheng Xue looked like a child.
The blank spots in the curtain of rain rushed forward and finally stopped in front of the battle horse. A person appeared and it wasn’t until he appeared did the rain from the sky finally start dropping again. The previously broken rain curtains connected and became dense again.
Just from these scenes, you could already tell how fast this person was.
He was just a very normal middle aged man. His shirt was filled with pictures of gold coins and he wore several gold rings on his fingers. Golden light was flashing from his body and he seemed to be a regular rich man often seen in villages or the countryside.
Just from his appearance, no one could guess that the punch came from him. He appeared suddenly in the morning rain and sent dozen of knights flying. His single punch easily broke through Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s iron spear and made a thin and tall elder come out as well.
The Officer Jin of the Herb Garden. His true identity was revealed just last night at Wei Yang Palace. He was Jin Yu Lu.
The thin and tall elder looked at Jin Yu Lu. His white eyebrow raised slightly while raindrops started to sink into his hair. The atmosphere was heavy. He opened his lips to speak.
Jin Yu Lu’s appearance made Tang Thirty Six realize that there would be no trouble for the Tradition Academy today. He was in extreme joy but as he saw the tall elder about to speak, Tang Thirty Six yelled, “Talk after we fight.”
This sentence was targeted towards Jin Yu Lu. Normally, at Tang Thirty Six’s age and generation, it would be disrespectful for him to yell at such a legendary figure but Jin Yu Lu didn’t mind, he just replied, “True.”
Right after he finished his sentence, Jin Yu Lu disappeared once again into the morning rain.
The pond on the marble floor splattered and foot marks appeared on the wall of Hundred Blossom Street. Several dozens of blank spots broke through the intense rain curtain. In a flash, he was dozens of yards away.
People who were watching this scene couldn’t believe their eyes. How could a person in this world be this fast?
The thin tall elder squinted his eyes slightly and his expression turned heavy. As an elder who participated in the previous war, he obviously knew how powerful Jin Yu Lu was, especially in the aspect of speed. The elder therefore, used his ultimate technique without hesitation.
He raised his thin hands and pushed forward. A cold but powerful aura mounted Hundred Blossom Street immediately and the rain started falling slower from the sky. In the duration of their landing, frost appeared on the surface of the rain drops. When they fell onto the marble floor, they flashed and scattered like pearls.
The rain curtain transformed into a ice curtain. This curtain was formed to defend against Jin Yu Lu’s attack but even so, multiple frozen spheres were crushed and thrown into street walls by Jin Yu Lu.
Just as the shadow appeared, Jin Yu Lu’s hands were already raised. He stared at the elder who was sealed behind the ice curtain and squinted his eyes slightly. The pupil of his eyes lost focus and dark light seemed to emit from its terrifying coldness.
Countless friction sounds were heard on Hundred Blossom Street. Thousands of flashes appeared and vanished on the street.
Those flashes were slightly curved and extremely sharp. If someone looked closely, they would notice that the flashes appeared to be claw marks of some kind of beast.
The tall, thin elder used his powerful and dense qi to set up a durable defense wall and froze the rain curtain into ice. Surely it effectively slowed down Jin Yu Lu’s terrifying speed, but it couldn’t hinder Jin Yu Lu’s attack patterns. No matter how tough his defense was, he couldn’t stop a string of rapid blows.
In just the brief moment of few water drops landing on the ground, Jin Yu Lu launched several hundreds of blows into the rain curtain. Of course Tang Thirty Six, Chen Chang Sheng and the knights in the pond couldn’t see these scenes. These two were truly powerful xiuxingists.
A tearing sound was heard and the dense rain curtain was pierced through. Jin Yu Lu passed the defensive line and arrived in front of the thin tall elder. He swinged his arm and the elder yelled while blocking Jin Yu Lu’s fist forcefully with his thin palms.
Shock waves splashed the raindrops everywhere and cracks started to appear on the walls of the streets.
Although Tian Hai Sheng Xue was protected behind the tall, thin elder and he wasn’t harmed by the direct impact of the shock wave, he still felt the damage and let out a deep moan as his face turned even paler.
On the other hand, the tall, thin elder felt the immediate impact. The enormous strength of Jin Yu Lu’s fist was endured entirely by him. His face grew pale as blood started flowing out of the corner of his lips. The elder’s legs shook slightly.
Jin Yu Lu looked at him expressionlessly but he stopped attacking. He placed his hands back into his pockets, turned around and walked in the direction of Tradition Academy.
His walking posture didn’t present himself as a rich man anymore, but rather more of a farmer.
The battle between the powerful figures happened quickly and ended quickly. It was faster than any observer imagined because Jin Yu Lu was very hasty. His speed was out of this world. It was even faster than flying birds that were famous for their immense
speed. Even in the entire continent, his speed could be ranked at the top.
“What is a farmer like you doing here and not harvesting crops in the eastern fields?”
The tall, thin elder looked at Jin Yu Lu’s slightly curve back and yelled angrily.
After they fought, they could talk especially since they knew each other from a long time ago. Jin Yu Lu didn’t turn back. He continued walking with his hands in the pockets, “Fei Dian, what are you doing here and not sweeping snow in the north?
Hearing the name “Fei Dian”, Tang Thirty Six’s expression changed slightly and some noise was heard in the depth of the street.
