The do made of stone and earth slowly crumbled down. The sunlight that penetrated through it caused Sila to squint his eyes. It seed his eyesight got a lot better so he needed so ti to readjust.
Once he had a clear look of what was waiting for him, he discovered that he was surrounded by more than one hundred players. So seed to co alone while so ca in groups.
The common thing that all the players present shared was the fact that they all had their weapons ready.
Hes finally co out! one man yelled.
His bounty belongs to ! another one shouted.
Its mine, you fools!
Sila scratched his head in a daze. When he had been within the do, these players had coordinated their attacks on the do. But once he was out, they bared their fangs against everyone else.
He looked at himself and found that the upper half of his clothing was gone. So, he opened his system window to search for another one to replace it.
Equip. Sila entered the command to equip his old Beginner Clothing. As for the Unjust Wuxia Clothing, it had been torn into many rags.
Well, Sila noticed that the bandage on his right arm had gone missing, so he used one of the rags as a temporary bandage.
No one interrupted or even cared about Silas actions. These players had seen with their own eyes that Sila was on the brink of death after his fight against Cross. The few minutes he had obtained from hiding in the stone do surely wouldnt be enough for him to regain his power.
They didnt need to mind the prey that was on the verge of death. What they needed to do was be on guard against the other predators who were trying to snatch away their prey.
Sila listened to them having an argunt instead of attacking him while circulating Tiger Dragon Qi with perfect Qi Concealnt. He found that his qi was in top condition and seed to possess more power.
For the record, Silas current sensation was temporary. When profound practitioners experience a breakthrough, it was normal for their inner force to significantly improve, making them feel as if theyve beco much stronger.
As ti passes and their body accustoms to the new strength of the inner force, this sensation will naturally fade.
For a profound practitioner, there are tis when they are not ready to fight and tis when they are.
As Sila circulated his qi, he found that his body was in perfect shape. Never before had he felt more ready to fight than in this mont.
Well, Sila perceived that his business in this place had ended so he planned to leave.
The argunt suddenly stopped and many players quickly ca to hold Sila off.
Oi! Where do you think you can run away to?
Run away? No. Im just going to et my friends. Let leave. I wont bla you guys for trying to attack just now.
You wont bla us? Kukuku.
The loud waves of laughter ca from them.
Youre having a hard ti walking, arent you? Dont act so high and mighty. You were just lucky to win against Cross. Anyone can easily kill that fallen Sword Emperor.
Why didnt you take action, then?
No one was foolish enough to take action in broad daylight, fool. Otherwise, the prey would be snatched easily from them. Even worse, they would beco an easy target for the remaining players... just like you.
Sila was about to open his mouth to reply, but his system window went off in his ears as a notification window appeared, informing him that Player Varee would like to invite him to join her party.
He looked around and found that Varee was standing behind those groups of players surrounding him. He also spotted Bow sitting on the roof of the building. She was looking at Sila with concerned eyes.
Accept, Sila muttered.
His friends have co to help. Kill him quickly!!
The shout acted like the starting signal of a competition. Tens of weapons aid at where Sila was standing. These players had stopped arguing as they feared that soone would help Sila get away from them.
Now, who could kill him only depended on luck.
Sila didnt possess a skill that could attack multiple enemies except Hidden Weapon Firing. Sadly, he had spent all his hidden weapons in the previous battle against Cross.
Nevertheless, Nine Sun-lting-Fists was a martial art suitable for a chaotic battle. This art was offensive, quick, and easy to use.
Instead of defending or evading, Sila chose to step forward to face the weapons coming at him.
In the Nine Sun-lting-Fists book, there was a part that taught him to advance before the enemies take their first step and advance to the position the enemies need to defend.
Silas previous position was both where all of the weapons were aid at and also where they would reach their full power. So, by stepping forward, the distance was off and those weapons couldnt exert their maximum strength, so any that didnt miss wouldnt be as strong as they wouldve.
It was a frightening sight to see the sharp edges miss Sila by a hairs breadth.
Nine Sun-lting-Fists step-in technique was even quicker than the one that was part of Twelve Celestial-Traveling-Steps. In addition, the stepping itself was connected to the next offensive action. Sila used his right hand as a blade, slashing sharply at the shoulder of one of the attackers.
The player Sila had attacked collapsed to the ground. He was still alive as Sila hadnt aid at his vital spot.
Sila stopped using his right hand as a blade and instead used his palm to push his opponents body away, resulting in them flying backward and causing everyone in front of him to fall like a bowling pin.
As he finished pushing, Sila took a sidestep and bent his elbow to strike one of the opponents to his right. Then, he shifted his center of gravity and used the sa hand to push the sa opponent into the ones behind him.
Silas left hand grabbed the collar of the man closest to him and threw him away toward the group of magic-type players, standing quite a distance from everyone else, to interrupt whatever they were doing.
At that mont, an arrow infused with qi flew at his side.
Sila stood firmly and used the back of his right hand to tap the arrow lightly; shifting its trajectory and sending it into the shoulder of another opponent.
Sila didnt use Genesis Punch on these players as he had learned from his battle with Cross that a move that hit the target was more useful than a powerful move that didnt hit.
Although Nine Sun-lting-Fists wasnt as powerful as Genesis Punch, it was very suitable for this situation. All of the moves connected to each other like he was dancing in the battlefield. He only needed to clad his body with qi reinforcent for his attack to beco fatal.
Arghhh!! Painful cries ca from the ones hit directly by Sila. One of them had a palm-shaped scorch mark on his chest while another had a similar wound on his shoulder. As for the one who was hit by the arrow, the wound caused by the arrow had frozen over and brought him pain from the ice burn.
Sila was slightly confused. He noticed a small injury on the back of his hand so he tried to circulate Tiger Dragon Qi throughout his body. Once Tiger Dragon Qi flew to the back of his right hand, it was healed as if he had used Recovering Qi on it.
Currently, his body counted Tiger Dragon Qi as his base qi. As for Primary Qi, Immortal Qi, Full Body Restructuring Qi, and Tortured Soul, they had fused together and beco one with his body, aning all of their abilities had been fused with Tiger Dragon Qi.
Everything that these qi or qi techniques could do, Tiger Dragon Qi could show the effect in their stead.
The obvious advantage of this fusion was that Sila's qi had evolved and beco a versatile qi.
Prior to this, if Sila wanted to use Recovering Qi to lessen his pain, he needed to stop using any other qi to do so. But now, Sila could even attack while tending to his wounds simultaneously.
Even his attack and defense could be freely infused with the hot or cold elents of Tortured Soul. Well, if he didnt control it, it would display the effect depending on his actions.
Just a mont ago, when Sila perford a martial move of Nine Sun-lting-Fists which was an offensive art, the hot elent showed its power. On the other hand, when he displayed the move of Six Moon-Grabbing-Claws which was a defensive art, the cold elents power was added.
As for the disadvantage, logically, there shouldnt be one. However, there was one that existed at the mont.
Due to the fact that the fusion had taken place with Tiger Dragon Qi as the base, as long as Sila still wasnt proficient in using Tiger Dragon Qi, he would have a hard ti displaying his full power.
Take the wound on the back of his hand as an example; if it was Sila prior to the fusion of qi, he could just circulate Recovery Qi into his hand and the wound would be healed.
However, for Tiger Dragon Qi, he needed to circulate it throughout his entire body and wait for the inner force to reach the back of his hand so it to be healed.
It was the disadvantage that ca from lack of proficiency in circulating Tiger Dragon Qi; if he had more experience with it, he would be able to circulate qi to a specific part of his body..
What Sila needed to practice right now was how to freely send Tiger Dragon Qi to each part of his body without having to circulate qi throughout his body. If he could do just that, his ability would go a step higher.
Sila began to understand what the system ant when it said beco one with your body.
He jumped at one of his opponents. His feet stepped where his opponents planned to move to, stealing the more favorable position to attack, and threw his right fist into the opponents abdon.
His opponents body flew several ters backward with a burn mark on his abdon. Blood gushed out from his mouth, forcing him to drink a potion quickly.
Sila frowned at what had happened as he noticed that he was no longer able to clad a specific part of himself with qi reinforcent.
Although it was true that he had beco stronger as a whole, his attack had beco noticeably weaker.
Each of his attacks right now were similar to what he had depended on before he had t Poluk. It was an attack without the concentration of power.
Lets say the previous Sila had 100 qi points in each part of his body. When he clad his fist with qi reinforcent to attack, the qi covering his fist could rise to 500 points while the qi protecting the rest of his body would be reduced to 10 points.
Now, however, it could be said that Sila had 300 qi points in each part of his body, three tis more than he had before, but he was unable to increase the power in any specific part of his body.
Sila began to feel pressured. If he were to encounter skilled opponents, being able or unable to use qi reinforcent on a specific part of the body would prove to be a key factor. Qi reinforcent wasnt only beneficial for attacking, there would be many tis when he needed to rely on qi reinforcent to increase his defense as well.
Sila took a glance at Varee and found that she could kill her opponents neatly without them making any noise, be it screaming or cries of pain.
He had never witnessed Varees fighting style for real so this day was the first ti.
Varees overall ability was not too outstanding. Her battle style wasnt flashy but Sila had learned from his fights that flashiness wasnt a key factor in battles.
So players had their own unique fighting style, and Varee was one of them.
Varee was fighting by herself against three other players. Her Shadow Moon Sword could parry all the attacks without much difficulty.
Sila would define Varees combat style as that of an opportunity seizer. The mont her opponents let their guard down or showed an opening even for a split second, she would clad her katana with psychic power reinforcent and perform a quick slash at a speed that even Silas eyes couldnt follow.
Her speed of energy reinforcent is too fast. With that, she could instantly turn the tables in a fight, escaping from a disadvantageous position and becoming the victor as soon as she sees a chance.
It was, by no ans, an exaggeration. Varees psychic power reinforcent was both speedy and powerful. Every ti she moved, soone died. The sa could be said about her footwork. With her terrifying speed of energy reinforcent, she could move from one spot to another in the blink of an eye, leaving behind an afterimage.
When he looked at Bow, Sila saw that she stayed in the sa spot, though there was so kind of white aura covering her. She was looking at the fights with her innocent eyes while eating snacks as if she was watching a show on the television.
Since he couldnt rely on partial qi reinforcent, Sila tried to use Formless Soldier to enhance his attack power instead. Luckily for him, Formless Soldier still worked just fine.
Those players who claid to be predators could tell that fighting Varee was very dangerous, so they focused their attention on Sila, their original prey, instead.
Tens of players pointed their weapons at Sila. These players werent as weak as the ones in Beginning Town. All of the weapons were strengthened by qi, magic, or psychic power. If Sila were to take them head on without the ability to reinforce part of his body with qi, he would end up dead or at least heavily wounded.
Sila hardened his foot and stomped it on the ground, shaking the plaza. So players lost their balance and, thanks to the fact that they were close to each other, began to fall on other players.
He imbued his body with the wind elental power from Orbiting Cosmos and moved like a ghost using Twelve Celestial-Traveling-Steps. Both his hands were strengthened to be as hard as steel before striking the two enemies closest to him, shattering their armors and sending them flying.
Fortunately, the skills that didnt fuse with Tiger Dragon Qi still functioned as usual. Sila used Universe Reversal to pull so of his opponents closer to him and let his hamr-like fists strike them again.
The plaza beca like Hell as several players were beheaded and their heads sprung into the sky on Varees side, which caused Bow to close her eyes. She shifted her interest to witness Silas side which was like a battle in a wuxia movie. Bow would clap her hands if she had any.
Seeing this as a perfect chance for him to practice his martial arts, Sila imrsed himself into trying out a lot of the martial moves he had learned.
He had to depend on his quick wit to select the most suitable martial move for each situation, so he learned a lot during this fight. Most of the ti he used Nine Sun-lting-Fists, though sotis he used Six Moon-Grabbing-Claws to defend and give himself more ti to think.
As he heard Bows delighted laughter when seeing him showing off martial moves, Sila continued to display move after move to impress her.
Sila and Varee stopped moving when not a single opponent remained. The ones who fought against Varee were considered lucky as they had died in one hit. As for those who fought against Sila... they were forced to beco his sparring partners involuntarily and suffered from several blows until they died from either internal injuries due to being gravely damaged, burns from qi, or being frozen.
