Chapter 290
For the next round, Luo Bing chose another outer disciple . This new disciple was very muscular, looking like a powerful brute-strength fighter .
But Long Chen still didn’t choose anyone in particular to go out . Seeing Long Chen didn’t say anything, one of the Heaven Earth Faction’s outer disciples jumped up .
Long Chen recognized that disciple . He had been the one who had almost died to the Tigermouth Fish during the disciple selection trial . Long Chen had saved his life back then .
He had originally been one of Qi Xin’s people, but in order to pay back Long Chen’s favor, he had told him about the matter of Qi Xin harming Little Snow, and Long Chen had accepted him into the Heaven Earth Faction .
That little fellow’s name was Zhao Qian . His talent wasn’t bad, and amongst outer disciples, he could count as a well-known figure . Seeing him go out, Long Chen nodded . Another eighty thousand merit points were about to be sent their way .
The muscular man facing him was another mid Tendon Transformation expert . Seeing the early Tendon Transformation Zhao Qian, he disdainfully said, “You aren’t my match . If you’re smart, you’ll immediately scram . Otherwise, I’ll take your life . ”
“Come at me . ” Zhao Qian shook his head, taking out his sword .
“Fine, since you want to die, I’ll help you out . ”
That muscular snorted and took out a broadsword . He seemed extremely suited to fighting with brute strength .
He suddenly charged at Zhao Qian, his figure like a phantom, appearing outstandingly domineering .
The thirty-sixth monastery’s disciples all cheered . This muscular man was their strongest outer disciple .
Not only was his cultivation base the highest, brute strength was his speciality . When he fought, he possessed a large advantage .
Seeing that sword coming right at him, Zhao Qian completely ignored it and his sword directly stabbed towards his heart .
That muscular man couldn’t help being frightened . This was clearly a suicidal move . He had decided to take him down with him right at the start?
What he didn’t know was that Long Chen had already instilled in them all a certain fighting tactic:
Risking your life . Risking your life was one of the most effective slaughter methods . But it wasn’t effective on all people, so you had to judge who to use it on .
If you wanted to risk your life, you’d have to find those people with more normal thinking . If you were to risk your life against someone who was a coward afraid of death, then they would immediately become easy pickings .
Because they were afraid of death, they would be terrified, and they definitely wouldn’t dare risk their own life to go all-out against you . By then, you’d have already won half the battle .
However, this tactic wasn’t effective against everyone . Other than crazies and idiots, there were also true warriors who didn’t fear death and would dare risk their own lives against you .
True warriors had long since become unafraid of death . As for these show-off, vain braggarts here, how could they possibly be real warriors?
Zhao Qian didn’t even need to think before using this tactic to fight . To the 108th monastery’s disciples, their lives had been s.n.a.t.c.hed back from the hands of death by Long Chen before .
They had already cheated death once . Even if they had lose their life now, they wouldn’t care that much . And so they dared to risk their life, and they were filled with an indomitable will .
That muscular man’s expression changed when he saw Zhao Qian’s sword stabbing towards his heart . He naturally didn’t wish to die with this fellow, and his broadsword hastily switched direction .
Their two swords collided . Due to being extremely physically powerful and having a stronger cultivation base, he managed to force back Zhao Qian .
The muscular man icily snorted, “Weak!”
His broadsword once more slashed down on Zhao Qian . This time he was using even more power . That previous attack had just been a testing blow .
His second attack was now even faster . It would reach Zhao Qian’s body in just the blink of an eye . Zhao Qian repeated his suicidal attack, stabbing his sword at his lower abdomen .
But Zhao Qian wasn’t as fast as his opponent this time . If this continued, the muscular man’s sword would quickly slash through his shoulder .
And yet, Zhao Qian’s sword didn’t waver the slightest bit . He seemed to be thinking, “Your sword might cut me into pieces, but my sword will also pierce through your Dantian . Even if you don’t die, you’ll be crippled . ”
That muscular man saw that Zhao Qian’s expression was still completely calm and indifferent . He was shocked, as at the beginning, he had thought that he had just been trying to scare him .
But now he realized he was wrong . This b.a.s.t.a.r.d clearly didn’t fear death! He was clearly planning on bringing him down with him!
This muscular man could also count as a ruthless person amongst outer disciples . His attack were merciless, and many of his fellow outer disciples had been injured by him .
The weak feared the strong, the strong feared the ruthless, and the ruthless feared those who didn’t fear death . In this world, there were few people who weren’t afraid of those who were unafraid of death .
Previously, this muscular man had even mocked the tall, thin man who had lost . But now facing Zhao Qian, he finally realized his struggles .
His broadsword had just been an inch away from cutting through Zhao Qian’s body, but he quickly took it back to block that sword stabbing at his stomach .
Due to having changing his attack, his speed was now slower than Zhao Qian’s . Although he managed to just barely block it, Zhao Qian’s sword tip had just reached his abdomen, and a hole had been cut through his clothes .
That muscular man could even sense the coldness on his stomach . He thanked his luck over and over that he had took back his attack, or he would already be dead .
Now he began to sweat . Seeing Zhao Qian’s indifferent expression, he was terrified . How could he treat his life as if it were nothing?
That muscular man’s courage was completely broken now . Zhao Qian’s sword was now piercing towards him . All his attacks were ruthless . He didn’t aim for power, but to kill .
