AST 1597 - Xue Nuo’s Serpent Manoeuvre, Yin Tong’s Combat Skills (2/2)

Yin Tong was low profile. Ever since Qing Shui met him, he had only seen him display his skills once out of anger. He did fight thereafter as well, but it was without temper. These days, his might had increased a lot but other than his practice sessions with Lan Lingfeng, he didn’t usually fight.

Yin Tong’s inheritance was destined to go through many changes and he didn’t have a fixed weapon. Qing Shui had customized a pair of Tri-Edged Daggers forged from Yang Stone for him. They could be categorized as legendary grade, albeit barely. The strongest effect was to disregard 20% of an enemy’s defense, plus a 1% chance of disregarding up to 90% of defense.

The weapons were sharp in nature and along with their ability were mighty indeed. Yin Tong’s battle technique would be to attack in succession and relentlessly so. Not just twice in combo but even more than that—the powers of his inheritance allowed increased damage if they were inflicted at the same spot within a specific amount of time.

In Qing Shui’s perspective, Yin Tong’s inheritance was sly in nature. Every battle technique was strange, additionally Yin Tong was a master at using toxins, even if Qing Shui had rarely seen him do so.

“After you!” At the sight of Yin Tong, the old man greeted courteously.

“After you!” Yin Tong smiled as he reciprocated. Under such circumstances, he would naturally not forget his courtesy. Whatever situation they were thrust into, they had to regard it with a calm attitude. Only in this way could their potential be unleashed to the fullest.

This time, it was the old man who didn’t stand on ceremony and charged towards Yin Tong at once. His footwork was steady and strong, his speed wasn’t as fast as others but it gave the impression that he was working steadily, as though every step was imprinted in his mind.

Yin Tong’s footwork, on the other hand, was fluid and peculiar; there was no way of predicting where he would step next. The pair of shimmering Tri-Edged Daggers emitted a piercing light.

Hrmph!

With a loud shout, the metal rods in the old man’s hands unleashed a Twin Dragon attack towards Yin Tong.

Yin Tong stepped backwards slightly, dodging the attack just in time. Even his clothes rose from the Qi force from the metal rods’ attack. If not for the fact that Yin Tong had poured his own Qi force into his clothes, they’d probably have been shattered by that attack.

Golden Jade Chain of Pearls!

Yin Tong slammed his right fist forward, swiftly slamming them against the old man’s chest successively.

Bang, bang!

Two clear, metallic sounds emitted from the impact and the old man was struck back by Yin Tong. Even so, his footsteps were not muddled. If one observed carefully, they would notice that every step the opponent took had landed in his previous steps.

This could actually reduce the strength he had to endure.

Qing Shui had an inkling about this. There was nothing too strange in this world and even though this was peculiar, it was still acceptable. The old man rushed towards Yin Tong along his previous steps again.

His speed and strength seemed to have increased.

Demon Ox Mark!

This was the Demon Ox Mark. Qing Shui had gained some of inheritance memories from the Golden Battle Halberd at one point, and one was about the Titan Ox Demon King Inheritance. He didn’t have time to process the information before but now it floated into his mind ever so vividly.

Qing Shui kept his voice low, enough only for Yin Tong to hear. “That’s the Demon Ox Mark. It seems like they’re really the Inheritor Clan of the Titan Ox Demon King. The Demon Ox Mark he cultivates is good, you’ll have to find a way to mess up his footwork, or it will only get stronger.”

Qing Shui had just realized the the Golden Battle Halberd gave him some pretty useful information. The information was messy and Qing Shui hadn’t even bothered tidying it up. Now he realized that there was no need to do so, as it would surface when the situation called for it.

Yin Tong understood Qing Shui’s word of caution. In all honesty, while it wasn’t much, he had still distinctly felt the increase in that old man’s might.

Frenzied Golden Jade Slash!

Seizing the opportunity once more, Yin Tong’s silhouette was like a flash of light, charging toward the old man. His speed was already significantly faster than the latter and considering he had readied himself for the attack, Yin Tong’s speed was undoubtedly beyond the range the old man could evade.

Bang, bang…

The pair of Tri-Edged Daggers pierced towards the old man at an astounding speed. Just like that, even with a decent inner armor, the strong and sturdy old man stumbled backwards ceaselessly from the impact, as blood poured from his mouth and nostrils.

Puu!

The attack disregarded the defense of the old man’s armor by a surprising 80%, reducing his health immensely. Yin Tong stopped in his tracks, and the old man fell from the arena.

From beginning to end, Yin Tong didn’t take more than five minutes to defeat him—the disparity between them must have been huge.As a successor of the Battle God Inheritance, even if he hadn’t been strong enough now, he still wasn’t a character whom one would want to provoke.

After meeting Qing Shui, Yin Tong’s might had increased drastically. His improvements would happen swiftly in the future, and would remain so for a long time.

Yin Tong didn’t expressed much glee at defeating the old man. Instead, he just remained standing on the arena. At this point of the duel, where anger had risen from both parties, no one would show mercy anymore—Xue Nuo had thrown up blood from the fight, as did the old man from before. Even though it was inevitable to get injured in a battle, it was just as easy for rage to manifest in the process, whether from deliberate intent or not.
