“Hold it!”
A figure charged towards Tang Tian, which turned out to be Lu Qing. He did not want to get involved initially, for Ji Tian’s miserable plight made his heart go cold. But he had never imagined that even Elder Yu was not Tang Tian’s match.
Naturally, he could not watch Elder Yu die miserably in Tang Tian’s hands. Upon seeing the critical situation, he could not care less, and charged towards Tang Tian.
Lu Qing’s abilities were on par with Ji Tian. In order to save Elder Yu, he did not reserve any energy, his punch was like a meteor, whizzing straight for Tang Tian. Lu Qing’s famed martial technique, [Meteor Punch], a level six martial technique, was a fast and heavy punch, with astounding power.
He knew Tang Tian was formidable, thus he used the killer move at once.
[Meteor Rush]!
Twelve rays of meteor-looking punches, along with a shocking whiz, like a gorgeous light necklace, shot towards Tang Tian.
Tang Tian had long noticed Lu Qing, his eyes flashed coldly, and with a slight twist of his body, the first few punches instantly seemed to sway, he seize the chance to avoid it horizontally, this move was fast as lightning, and the first few punches, grazed past his body.
Boom boom boom!
The punches collided into the walls, and the bluestones started to fly, and a cloud of dust formed.
Tang Tian flicked his finger, and the Siberian Crane Vortex was instantly like a crowd of dancing Siberian Cranes, the punches collided, but was flicked away by the rapidly spinning vortex.
This time the matter became out of control, the Meteor Punch that was flicked away, collided into the crowd, and chaos ensued.
“Attack!”
“Everyone attack together!”
Elder Yu’s underlings seemed to be jolted awake, and rushed towards Tang Tian. The hall structure was so narrow, even if Tang Tian was formidable, they will drown him in a sea of people.
“Bing, protect Ah Xue and Little Xu Xu!”
Tang Tian roared into the air, and a bronze figure, swept past the hall, and picked up Ling Xu.
“Let go of me!” Ling Xu was like an angry feline, of course, a panda. He was extremely displeased, at the fact that he had been reduced to a state where he required protection of others. He struggled wildly in Bing’s hands, but Bing’s palm was like an iron pincer.
Bing carried Ling Xu, and fell beside Gu Xue, his massive build, was like a wall blocking before Gu Xue.
Tang Tian was now completely out of control and in full battle mode, he rushed like a bolt of lightning to Lu Qing, and his insane speed, shocked Lu Qing. However, he saw from the corner of his eyes that his companions had saved Elder Yu, and instantly heaved a sigh of relief, his fists blocked before him, and he attempted to slide away like a slippery eel into the crowd.
“Trying to run?” Tang Tian smirked, murderously, he was extremely displeased that his prey had fled.
The Great Monument Palm fell from the sky, with a deep whizz.
Lu Qing jumped in shock, he had personally witnessed how Elder Yu puked out blood after being assaulted by Tang Tian’s Great Monument Palm, he did not care about his image, and curled up into a ball, and disappeared into the crowd.
Boom!
The Great Monument Palm print was like a large monument, crashed on the ground like a fallen meteorite, everyone felt the ground shake, and clouds of dust flew into the air, fully enveloping the surrounding martial artists. A few who did not manage to avoid in time, wailed and screamed, which sent chills down others’ spines.
Tang Tian seized the opportunity to rush forward, and avoided the sneak attacks of swords and punches behind his back. He channelled energy to his legs and shot to the middle of the crowd. The cramped terrain, to Tang Tian, was perfect for executing his horrifying strength.
Tang Tian’s innate strength, was already five times that of a normal martial artist, coupled with the Dwarf Blood now, his strength has already reached ten times that of a normal martial artist.
This was an extremely horrifying statistic, which was even higher than Hua Sha with his blood meridians activated.
Tang Tian suddenly drew out a double-headed mace, which was Hua Sha’s weapon, the weight was a shocking 360kg, extremely heavy, a true killer weapon.
Looking at the packed crowd before him, Tang Tian broke into a smile.
He brandished his mace, hoo, that frightening sound, suffice to shatter one’s courage and make one’s heart go cold.
The martial artist charging right in front were aghast, but his reaction was exceedingly fast, he waved the arm shield tied on his arm, lowered his centre of gravity, and channelled all his True Power into both his arms.
The mace fell heavily on the 10mm thick steel shield.
Boom!
The steel shield instantly shattered into pieces, and the pieces flew haphazardly in all directions, one of the pieces even immersed into a martial artist’s body. That defending martial artist, did not even have time to scream, and was sent flying out, knocking down three others continuously, before landing. The three knocked-downs included, none of them could get up again.
“Godlike young man. Go go go!”
Tang Tian felt exhilarated, and howled continuously, he had never learnt how to use a mace, and depended purely on his brute strength, each raise of the mace was followed by continuous wild smashing. But such pure and non-fanciful attacks happened to be extremely effective. Those martial artists initially thought that the cramped terrain could restrict Tang Tian’s mobility, bringing their advantage of more people into play, but no one thought that Tang Tian would attack in such an unreasonable and boorish manner.
Once the 360kg mace was flourished, it was an impenetrable killer weapon. And Tang Tian’s mighty power, not only managed to brandish it, but brandished it like a scurry of wind. Once anyone got brushed by the scurry of wind, they would be sent flying straight out.
Ling Xu was dumbfounded. Tang Tian was akin to a tiger among a flock of sheep. Everywhere he passed, people were swept off their feet, as easy as crushing twigs.
The opponents were like wheat being harvested, falling one by one, it was a spectacular sight.
“This fellow… … too cruel!” Ling Xu muttered, “Not in the least justified… … but it’s awesome!”
He was jealous.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Yan Xia and the others cowered in a corner, they too were shocked by Tang Tian’s domineering stance. Wu Nan and Suo Guang’s face went white, and looked fearfully at Tang Tian skeltering in the hall.
“This fellow’s power is too horrifying eh.” Wu Nan’s voice trembled. He was known for his power, but after seeing Tang Tian’s inhuman power, he was in trepidation.
Needless to say, Suo Guang spoke almost dreamily, “Besides his speed, too… … it’s too psychotic! How is anyone going to survive!”
Suo Guang’s ranking was not high, but he obtained a place in the Deacon Group based on his unusually fast speed. However, Tang Tian’s speed before him, made him conscious and ashamed.
Xia Yan’s expression was also very ugly, his eyes flashed oddly, and lowered his voice, “ It’s the Double Blood Meridians, Tang Tian must have activated both blood meridians. The Hua Brothers’ Dwarf Blood and Angel Blood, must have fell into his hands. Such power and speed, meant only one possibility, he has absorbed both blood meridians.”
“No… … no way… ….” Suo Guang’s teeth started chattering.
Wu Nan’s expression instantly froze, moments later, he turned his stiff neck, his expression pale, “It’s really the Double Blood Meridians?”
The use and research of Onyx Soul in blood meridians has had a long history. In Onyx Soul, blood meridians were even more important than martial techniques. Theoretically, everyone can activate blood meridians. But in reality, people found out it was not the case. Many people have plain blood meridians, and their body diathesis was not capable of enduring the extra power brought upon by the foreign blood meridians.
But there was another group of people that exist, not only could they endure the foreign blood meridians, they could even endure more than one type of blood meridians, such as double blood meridians.
But people with double blood meridians were extremely rare, almost every person with double blood meridians was deemed as a genius. To be able to possess two types of blood meridians, they were off to a better start than others.
“That’s right!” Xia Yan’s expression was similarly poor, moments later, he hesitated before continuing, “Luckily, the Dwarf Blood and Angel Blood that he absorbe, were not top silver blood meridians. If not, he would be even more difficult to handle.”
Suo Guang stared straight into the hall, and answered dreamily, “We already can’t handle him now.”
Xia Yan paused, he thought of even more. Other than being in charge of Humble Forest Planet’s daily matters, the Star Master has other tasks to do, his main task was to recommend more young talents to the higher ups, and this was why there was the Starry Door Trials.
A double blood meridians, a lad aged… … sixteen? Fifteen? He definitely had a bright future.
But a pity, if someone were to groom him, and absorb two types of even more outstanding blood meridians, his future achievements would be even greater.
Xia Yan was a little envious, and a little regretful.
Suddenly, Gong Yi Xiu’s agitated voice, alarmed them, “Hurry and look, that’s the mechanical weapon! The military weapon of Southern Cross Army, Saber-toothed Tiger! I was really right, it was the real one!”
During the time that Gong Yi Xiu was speaking, Bing was like catching the chicks, swooping up a martial artist who tried to attack Gu Xue, and with a crack, he directly wringed that person’s neck.
Suo Guang subconsciously touched his own neck.
Xia Yan and Wu Nan’s expression were dark.
“It’s really more formidable than we expected.” Wu Nan felt that all that he had seen today, had been too bizarre, “Where did such a formidable mechanical martial artist popped out from?”
“Very powerful!” Xia Yan’s eyes flashed a look of admiration and amazement, “His crisp moves do not seem to belong to this era!”
Gong Yi Xiu stuttered, “Saber-toothed tiger… Saber-toothed tiger… …”
Yan Xia patted Gong Yi Xiu’s shoulders, he knew clearly that it was impossible to obtain the Saber-toothed Tiger now. Regardless of whether Ling Xu and Tang Tian were intruders, the Star Master would not mind. Coupled with a mechanical martial artist of unknown power, such a team, even if the Deacon was here, he would not be able to barge in.
He started to contemplate now, how to obtain Tang Tian and the others’ forgiveness, and call it quits. He could become the leader of the Deacon Group, not only because of his abilities, but also because of his brains.
“Do you guys feel that he is similar to someone?” Wu Nan suddenly spoke up.
“Who?” Xia Yan asked casually.
“Qi Ya!” Wu Nan’s face flashed a look of excitement, “Tang Tian today, doesn’t he seem like Qi Ya back then, appearing out of nowhere?”
“Qi Ya?” Xia Yan was stunned, he shook his head, “Qi Ya back then was so much more formidable than Tang Tian, rising straight to the top.”
The Year of Darkness, Qi Ya’s strengths were never seen before. Within a year, he defeated all experts of the entire Humble Forest Planet, and obtained the top position in Humble Forest Planet, indisputably. Although Tang Tian shone, he still paled in comparison to Qi Ya back then.
“But… …”
Wu Nan hesitated, before continuing, “Who could guarantee that this is Tang Tian’s maximum potential?”
Xia Yan was dumbstruck.
