Chapter 157: Penta Blade Technique (1/2)

Huo Tu smiled seeing the explosion, but suddenly Alex appeared in front of him and hit him directly on the head with his blade. The attack did absolutely nothing to Huo Tu, but Alex's presence did anger him.

Alex immediately stepped back. His heart was beating crazily as he realized how close he was to being hurt. If he hadn't sent out the sword in time and teleported to its shadow, he would've taken serious damage right there.

He looked at the two small holes in the place where the talisman exploded. 'Was that damage in the Meridian tempering realm? I need to be more aware of my surrounding,' he thought and activated focus mode.

Suddenly, time slowed down. All the senses around him amplified, including what he picked up from his spiritual sense. His beating heart was just as loud as the rest of the crowd watching the fight.

The lights around him were brighter and he could more distinctly see the hideous face of Huo Tu. The smell of smoke and dust was in the air from the recent explosions. He could feel the fluctuations in the air made by the last 2 explosions.

He saw Huo Tu reach into his storage bag once more. This time, however, instead of a talisman, he took out a pill. ”How did you survive that?” Huo Tu asked but got no response.

He got angry and threw the pill right at Alex. Alex was prepared, however. He simply made a fist and punched out. A massive golden fist flew out from him and traveled towards Huo Tu. In the middle, the pill and the Fist met, creating another massive explosion.

This time, Alex too stood unphased by the shockwaves. Huo Tu got angry and took out another 2 pills. Alex wanted to use another technique but wasn't given any chance.

The two pills flew out and struck just below Alex. Alex didn't move.

BOOM

Another giant explosion rang out. This fight had ended up being a battle of explosion. The audience waited with bated breath to see what happened as the smoke and dust cleared.

Alex emerged out barely damaged at all. He definitely took the damage, but the most it seemed to have done was make him disheveled. Alex's heart, however, was beating faster as he realized he just survived another close call.

'Like I thought. Elemental Guidance technique works with the pills explosions,' he thought. Huo Tu started to get even angrier.

He took out dozens of talismans and pills at once. 'Just how many of those does he have?' Alex was shocked to see the many pills and talismans with him. 'I guess that makes sense since he is the son of that fat merchant. He must really spoil his son to make him turn out like this,' Alex thought.

Huo Tu started to throw pills after pills talismans after talismans. Alex too threw whatever he could at the incoming attacks.

Elusive Heavenly Sword 2nd and 3rd Strike, Elemental Guidance, Iron Fist Punch, and Palm of the Sun. 'Sh*t. I don't think I can stand the onslaught anymore. I will have to finish this match in one shot,' he thought.

He kept throwing whatever he could at his opponent and waited for his opponent to end his current supply of 'attacks'.

Finally, the moment came. Huo Tu threw his last pill and Alex threw a massive yellow palm towards the incoming pill. Immediately afterward, he slid his 2 fingers from another hand across the blade.
