Chapter 563: Templar Branch Master

Energy slowly concentrated on Chamucha's blade as the shade of redness turned from that of fire to blood. Chamucha attacked, and his blade clanked on Yin Tianzong's sword; the impact sent an enormous explosion throughout the stage. Chamucha's attack was able to come on top of Yin Tianzong, so he immediately followed with another attack. This was a fight between two legendary warriors, a rare scene for the soldiers of the Maersa. They watched the movements of the two warriors attentively, trying to learn from them.

Yin Tianzong was one of the best in terms of blade techniques, since he had studied swordplay from the grandmaster of the Templar's Court. The grandmaster's teaching focused heavily on physical conditioning and the understanding of the way of the Blade. Once succeeded in both aspects, Yin Tianzong's power increased exponentially with the increment of his soul energy. Unlike many other sword styles, the Templars rarely struck their opponents from the side unexpectedly, and this was particularly true for the high-level Templars. The style of swordplay was a reflection of one's character. Those who would trick their enemy often possessed a tainted soul, and were unfit to be high-level Templars.

Inside the crystal space, while the group had encountered extreme situations, Yin Tianzong was the only one who was able to remain calm and carried out his task with aplomb.

Chamucha's attack had started to gain frequency and vigor. Meanwhile, the force in his attack remained concentrated on the blade edge. Two level twenty warriors might be able to make more noise on the stage than Chamucha and Yin Tianzong; however, much of those extra energies were wasted on sound, heat, and light.

”Boss, what is brother Yin doing? He could have done away with him a long time ago.” Tan Bu asked restlessly. He had seen Yin Tianzong's full power at the display, and he knew that he could finish this battle in mere seconds.

Wang Tong filliped Tan Bu's head with a finger and refuted, ”Do…do…do…do away you're a*s! Watch and learn!”

”Whatever...” Tan Bu murmured. Sensing Wang Tong's scathing glare, he decided to keep his silence.

In the crystal space, everyone thought that Wang Tong's power was equivalent of a legendary warrior. However, when he had later become their ”enemy” in the space and fought with the group, he was able to overcome Yin Tianzong's level twenty-three power. Therefore, even now, no one knew exactly how powerful Wang Tong was.

Although Wang Tong's exact power had always been the topic of much debate, no one could say for certain what level he was at. Some claimed that Wang Tong had already achieved the level of a super Einherjar, a mysterious level that existed only in legends.

Curiosity eventually had driven the soldiers to press Yin Tianzong for an answer. Annoyed by their insistent questions, Yin Tianzong finally told them what he thought, and his answer only added more mystery.

As for the legendary soldiers from the Egypt City, Wang Tong would be able to kill a dozen of them in the blink of an eye. However, Wang Tong had told Tan Bu and Duo Lun many times that killing wouldn't solve any problems in life. If he were to kill any warrior that dared to challenge him, there would be no one left on Mars to fight against the Zergs.

Wang Tong was convinced that the Zergs hadn't revealed their real elite soldiers yet. The Zerg warriors such as the golden dark ones were nothing but failed experiments that were sent to the human world as cannon fodders.

In any case, human on Mars should not let their guards down. Earth and the Moon were destroyed, and no one knew what was it like in the Andromeda Galaxy any longer. Mars had become the only hope for humans to reclaim their territory and save humanity from the brink of destruction.

Therefore, Wang Tong could no longer be reckless in disposing of the humans who challenged him. He needed friends more than ever.

Tan Bu finally knew that he would never be a hero who would save the world, since he lacked the Wang Tong's abilities. However, he was willing to follow such a hero and do his bidding.

Chamucha had finally warmed up and started to strike his opponent with full force. The stage was lit up by a flurry of Blade Aura flashes.

Chamucha's fighting style was quintessential of the capricious style of the Demon Blade. It changed erratically from being predictable to delirious, passive to belligerent. Every attack carried the deadly fire element which was uncommon among other sword fighters. It was generally accepted that adding natural elemental force into weapon attacks was unwise, since it was detracting for the sword fighter. However, the fire element in Chamucha's attacks was the result of the sword technique itself. In other words, it didn't require Chamucha to cast it on purpose. The way that the blade movement stirred up the air naturally created the fire element. As a matter of fact, the energy only appeared to be the natural fire energy, but it was made out of GN force through and through.

The two warriors' attacks were both deadly and powerful; however, their concentrated strikes meant that their movements resulted in much less noise than any normal fights.

The audiences had expected the two legendary warriors to take the stage apart; however, their fine control of power meant that their power could only be felt within a very small radius.

As the battle dragged on, fear started to creep into Chamucha's mind. He noticed that his opponent had been fighting without any defensive measures. Despite his belligerent attacks, Chamucha was not able to even land a single solid blow on Yin Tianzong. Chamucha knew that it was time to unleash his real strength and turn the heat of the battle up a notch.

Deciding that, Chamucha executed a frontal jab, and the sight elated everyone from the Egypt City. They knew this move: it was the coup de grace of the Flame Blade—Five Petal Strikes!

The jab suddenly forked into five attacks in five different directions, forming a flower made out of cold blades. This was not an illusion; it was the result of the unique sword technique.

The attack covered all angles, and therefore, Yin Tianzong had nowhere to dodge; so, he pulled back. With an approving smile on his face, Yin Tianzong retreated while blocking the attack with his sword. He wasn't able to completely counter and halt his opponent's attack until he had pulled back a dozen meters.

The blade had carved a deep scar on the hard floor in front of Yin Tianzong. However, he was unharmed by the Flame Blade's coup de grace.
