Chapter 80: Destroy
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Ferdinand, a top student from Kirst Aristocrat Academy, was skilled in the academy’s specialized spear arts.
Carter also came from the Aristocrat Academy. Although his attributes and spear arts were not as developed as Ferdinand’s, the fact that he had been able to rise to the rank of a Knight also proved his abilities.
Zhou Yong on the other hand, just like Kaunitz, had come to study in Tresia Academy, mainly specializing in sword arts.
The last person was Boris, the man who looked like a wild man from the mountains. He came from the Shadow Moon Academy, and was a genius whose talent was close to that of Kaunitz’s, Ferdinand’s and Barbara’s. He specialized in hands-on combat techniques such as fist techniques and palm techniques.
These four people had joined the ranks of Knights at the same time, and all of them were equipped with Reduced Force Field. Now that all four of them were attacking at once, the violent waves of their force fields surged over, putting the surrounding air under so much pressure that a series of explosive sounds started ringing out unceasingly.
Not only that, but since they had all taken action in a moment of desperation, each and every one of them were using Killing techniques.
Ferdinand’s long spear trembled and a myriad of afterimages burst out, creating countless illusions.
Carter’s metallic spear became like a great python, trembling fanatically, and the tip of the spear zapped with streams of electric currents as the weapon smashed towards Fang Xingjian’s head at the speed of lightning.
Zhou Yong and Boris were coming towards Fang Xingjian from his left and right. Zhou Yong’s longsword gleamed just like the sun in the sky, shooting towards Fang Xingjian’s face. Boris’s palm shot out, suddenly seeming to have doubled. Amidst the raging wind, his palm gave a feeling of extreme heaviness and power condensation, slapping down towards Fang Xingjian as if a gigantic mountain would crash down on him.
The four of them attacked at once, and even though their abilities were only at a novice’s level among the Knights, when the four of them fought together, their powers were still exemplary. They had almost entirely surrounded Fang Xingjian, from his left, right, front and back. The impact from the four force fields pushed down on Fang Xingjian, as if gravity had multiplied by several times in just an instant.
But even though he was facing the combined attack of the four, Fang Xingjian only gave out a cold laugh, and with a dash he passed by the tip of Ferdinand’s spear, appearing right in front of him.
“What?!” Ferdinand got a sudden shock when he realized Fang Xingjian was suddenly standing right in front of him. Before he could react, his spear had already been broken into several pieces.
After that, Fang Xingjian gave a push, and he was sent flying by a tremendous force.
As his left foot stepped down heavily, dust and dirt went flying, rocks crumbled. With the violent strength of that push, he charged ahead and knocked into Boris.
With an explosive boom, Boris managed to maintain his stance by throwing out his palm, but the collision with Fang Xingjian was like being hit by lightning, the bones and muscles throughout his body releasing a series of explosive sounds. He was sent flying like a lump of mud. His vital energy and blood tremored, and he was unable to even crawl back on his feet.
Only then did Carter and Zhou Yong react to Fang Xingjian’s movements. With a tremble of his spear, Carter let out a weird cry and retreated. He had yet to take even two steps back when he sensed that a layer of shadow had encompassed him. Fang Xingjian had caught up to him.
Ahhh!
He bellow in desperation and, exerting all of his strength, he burst forth his Reduced Force Field, and thrust out his longspear, encompassed by electricity and light, as if it were an electric dragon.
The electricity was like a dragon. Carter’s muscles and bones were clenched tightly, and the ground under his feet sunk like it was mud as he made full use of the counteracting force from the ground, letting it pass through his force, shoulders, arms and other body parts, and then finally condensing it together with Carter’s spiritual disposition into his spear. He thrust it towards the black figure.
The moment the spear was thrust, Carter felt as if his brain had been emptied, as if he had been drained of all his energy. However, he wasn’t surprised, but rather overjoyed, because he felt that this attack was the best he had ever achieved in his life – a breakthrough he had never experienced before.
But at the next moment, a majestic force passed through to him from his spear. If Carter’s spear was like a raging electric dragon, then this majestic force was like the descent of a god, holding down the dragon’s body, and crushing it without mercy.
The longsword in Fang Xingjian’s hand collided against the spear, and the longsword pressed down on the spear, suppressing it, as Fang Xingjian appeared before Carter in a breath.
Carter was unable to react or see whether Fang Xingjian had used his hand or leg, nor was he able to tell where Xingjian had hit, when he was sent flying with a light bang. He landed on the floor, like a gourd rolling on the ground.
The moment he was sent flying, his mind was still brimming with disbelief.
