Chapter 12: Peerless Battle Techniques

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Ninetales

A white leg struck out from beneath a pink dress, clashing against a muscular leg clad in beast skin shorts.

Although Senior Sister Qing’s legs were long and lithe, they contained an astonishing amount of strength resembling the sharpness of a knife combined with the power of an axe. Qin Mu’s legs, on the other hand, were much sturdier, yet they also seemed graceful and light. It was as if they didn’t contain much strength at all.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their legs collided in a series of explosions. Both of Senior Sister Qing’s legs instantly received a myriad of kicks. Qin Mu’s leg skill was simply too fast for her to react!

The moment Qin Mu’s flurry of flashy kicks struck, the astonishing strength in her legs became useless. The strength promptly vanished from her legs as if Qin Mu’s legs had devoured it.

”Crap…!”

As Qin Mu continued to kick at Senior Sister Qing, her pained legs began to go numb. His kicks struck her waist, chest, and throat like a storm pounding down against banana trees.

After an onslaught of blows, Qin Mu’s body spun in the air as he wound his body up to deliver a back kick. This kick was different from the leg skill he had been using up to this point. His previous kicks sacrificed power in favor of speed, whereas the kick he was currently preparing to unleash contained a startling amount of strength.

Bang!

Qin Mu unleashed his back kick, striking Senior Sister Qing in the face. Her nose flattened into her face and bone fragments flew from her mouth, her chin shattering to pieces.

Senior Sister Qing flew headlong into the ruins like a piercing arrow shot from a bow!

This result proved what Qin Mu believed.

The Heaven Pilfering Divine Legs was the best!

Qin Mu didn’t dare to declare it the best in the world, but it was definitely the best in the village.

Even though Senior Sister Qing’s leg skill appeared vicious and overbearing, Qin Mu had heavily injured her before she could even touch him!

Furthermore, Qin Mu didn’t even use any vital qi, only relying on the strength of his body. Senior Sister Qing, however, had directed her vital qi into her legs to increase her strength and raise the speed of her leg skill. In spite of that, she had been crippled in just one exchange!

The moment he kicked Senior Sister Qing away, Qin Mu felt all of his hair stand on end. An extremely acute sense of danger bubbled up inside of his heart. With no time to turn around, he rushed forward.

Senior Brother Qu had silently appeared behind Qin Mu and unleashed a killing blow! His attack should have struck Qin Mu easily, but he hadn’t expected him to be so aware of his surroundings!

Leaping from the back of one strange beast to another, the two of them darted about. Senior Brother Qu’s moved exceptionally quickly as he frantically threw strikes at Qin Mu aiming for his heart. Qin Mu spared no effort in sprinting forwards and swinging both his arms to block the attacks.

Thunderclap Eight Strikes, Thousand-Armed Buddha!

Senior Brother Qu couldn’t help but be shocked. In spite of the fact that Qin Mu had his back turned towards him, he was still able to block all of the attacks as if he had grown several arms. Senior Brother Qu had never heard about this kind of technique!

Although Qin Mu’s Thousand-Armed Buddha wasn’t like Old Ma’s where rumbling thunder and flashes of lightning accompanied every strike, it still flowed like the wind and was as fast as lightning. Even while he was sprinting across different beasts with his back to Senior Brother Qu, Qin Mu’s defense was incredibly solid, preventing the Senior Brother Qu from seizing even the slightest advantage.

”Clang—!”

Qin Mu’s scalp went numb at the sudden screech of metal. He immediately glanced down at his arm and saw blood flowing from where he had been injured by a sharp sword.

Qin Mu rolled off the back of the beast he was on and ran under its belly, Senior Brother Qu following him down as well. His hands were empty, but a silver sword flew back and forth around him.

Qin Mu’s pupils contracted. Senior Brother Qu’s sword control was much better than that of Senior Sister Qing. She had controlled her sword and made it fly several yards away from her, attacking enemies from afar. Senior Brother Qu, however, kept his sword one yard away from him.

This was terrifying and particularly dangerous.

Using sword control in close combat could easily result in a careless wielder injuring themselves. Doing it required remarkable skill and meant that the controller’s swordplay was formidable enough to warrant absolute confidence.

Without precise manipulation of vital qi, one would not dare to control their sword in such a way!

”Grandpa Butcher and the others never told me how to utilize my vital qi, and Village Chief never told me how to use Overlord Body Qi,” Qin Mu thought. ”Under these circumstances, I’ll only be at a disadvantage.”

Qin Mu’s foot abruptly struck a wooden branch that the herd strange beasts must’ve broken from a tree. Without thinking, Qin Mu used the tip of his foot to direct the tree branch into his hand. This branch came from a willow tree, was around two yards long and about as thick as the length of a thumb.

Gripping the tree branch, Qin Mu moved quickly, his gaze locked onto the blade of Senior Brother Qu’s sword. He didn’t pay any attention to the Senior Brother Qu’s hands.

Qin Mu directed his vital qi in the willow branch, allowing it to course through the wood. However, when his vital qi took up sixteen inches of the branch, he lost touch with his qi beyond that length.

Sixteen inches was way too short. Fighting a flying sword with just that length of a weapon was too dangerous.

Senior Brother Qu rushed forward, his treasure sword circling around him. It seemed as if an invisible swordsman was holding onto the treasure sword, stabbing, slicing, flicking, hacking, and cutting at Qin Mu in extremely intricate ways.

Chi, chi, chi, chi!

With just a few strikes, the willow branch in Qin Mu’s hand had been reduced to sixteen inches. As the sword came hacking towards the branch again, it clanged as if it had struck steel.

Relief washed over Qin Mu the moment he saw that his vital-qi-imbued willow branch could actually block the sword. Keeping his eyes on the blade of the sword, the sixteen-inch willow branch became his Pig Slaughtering Knife. He used this stick of wood to unleash the knife skill that Butcher taught him!
