155: Chapter 53: Half-Ti Break (?) 155: Chapter 53: Half-Ti Break (?) “t again, gray-haired Dragon Species.
I am Ming Guest.”
Ming Guest lowered his twin swords, nodding with a smile.
“A rather unusual family na.
Hello, Mr.
Ming Guest.
I’m Gongsun Ce.”
After replying politely, the Superpower User said, “I’m really busy and have no ti to fight, so I’m taking the young lady and leaving.
You enjoy the view in the sky by yourself.
Goodbye.”
“…Ah?”
The gray-haired youth didn’t even glance at the swordsman.
He turned sharply and waved his hand in front of his good friend and neighbor, “Let’s go, Miss!
What are you spacing out for?
The fight’s over, let’s hurry down for dinner.”
Qin Qianbai, true to his family na shared with Qin Ming, kept a stoic face, but the confusion in his eyes seed to be carved from the sa mold.
“…Look at that, the face of utter bewildernt.
Ah Ce, do you have any clue what’s going on?”
The gray-haired youth spread his hands.
“I’m completely lost, okay?
I was supposed to be supporting Kardesia.
Then I ended up fighting this dumb woman who popped up out of nowhere.
I finally saved Miss Qiluo, thinking everything was over, I looked up and saw a derailed silver galaxy train cheerfully flying above the central district.
I had a bad feeling and ca over to see, and on the back of the carriage were two Morton Knights and several people dressed as if they just ca from a hardcore nerd eting.
And at the very front, you were battling an unknown man, nearly getting sliced—can you make sense of this situation?
I don’t think so.
It’s sothing most people just can’t wrap their heads around, Mr.
Gongsun.
The fact that I can still have a calm conversation with you already shows how resilient I am!”
Judging by the dumbfounded looks of the two Martial Artists, they needed a bit of ti to digest the gray-haired youth’s rapid-fire speech.
“I get that Ah Ce has gone through a lot this afternoon, but can you take your hand off my shoulder first?”
The Superpower User jerked his hand away as if shocked.
“Sorry, it’s a habit, didn’t an anything by it.”
“Why would you have that kind of habit, I hope you can explain thoroughly.”
“Now’s not the ti for that kind of talk, alright?!
Can we please just get away from this very dangerous-looking person?”
The very dangerous-looking person finally got a chance to interject in the conversation.
Qin Qianbai also reached that age, ti sure flies… Seeing the kids bicker naturally brought about such thoughts.
That was a close one, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, nearly caused him to forget the important task at hand.
“Ahem.”
He deliberately accentuated his throat-clearing sound, as a hint “I’m still standing here.”
“Does your throat itch?
I don’t have any throat lozenges on , you might want to buy so yourself.”
Ming Guest looked distressed.
He wasn’t good at dealing with such talkative folks.
“Hmm… It’s fine if you want to leave.
Since no one objects, I’ll just awaken all the Dragon Species in the city directly.”
The gray-haired youth pushed up his glasses, “Dragon Species?
What’s that?”
So that’s how it is.
This gray-haired Dragon Species, despite being in the very eye of the storm, was unaware of his own nature.
No wonder he couldn’t grasp the severity of the situation.
But to honestly reveal the truth could also trigger a rampage of the Dragon Species.
What kind of giant dragon would descend once this gray-haired Dragon Species awakened… And what about the sword he harbored within…?
He was curious.
The sword and the dragon, along with his own battles—he wanted to see all three aspects.
After so consideration, Ming Guest spoke in a way the other would understand, “It’s what you call Superpower Users.
Hmm, if you don’t stop , I’ll make all the Superpower Users in the city go berserk.”
“…Ah?”
Gongsun Ce’s face twisted in agony.
He turned and asked, “Miss, did you fight him because of this?”
“It’s partly personal, but broadly speaking, yes.
Got it, Ah Ce?
We’re in quite a predicant here.”
Gongsun Ce pressed his forehead, his features contorted.
“…You believe him just like that?!”
“Eh?”
Amidst their shocked gazes, the gray-haired youth spoke exasperatedly, “Miss, oh Miss!
You need to be more shrewd.
There are 5.7 million Superpower Users in our Sky tropolis, and this guy’s got just two swords.
How is he going to drive millions mad?
Chop them one by one to provoke a rampage?
Not to ntion 5.7 million people, even if it were 5.7 million pigs, he couldn’t chop enough in a year!”
“And all the Superpower Users in the city going berserk?
Even that crazy woman Cecil couldn’t do it, so if he says he can, does that make it true?
I can make claims too, just watch.”
Gongsun Ce flipped his left hand and fashioned a detonator switch out of pure white material.
He held up the switch, imitating the man in the blue robe, “Hmm, this is the switch that can destroy the Earth.
If you don’t dress up in cat-ear maid outfits for , then the Earth goes boom——”
The young lady’s right hook defended the Earth on the brink of explosion.
“Ow ow ow.” The Superpower User tossed the white detonator switch aside, rubbing his chin in pain, “Everyone can talk big.
Does he have anyone vouching for him?
Any evidence?
Can’t produce it, can he?
He doesn’t have the ability.
He’s just tricking you into fighting, ignore him…”
“That sort of makes sense.”
As both Superpower Users looked over, Ming Guest felt his reputation tarnished.
“You should be able to understand now.
If you don’t believe , just walk away.”
He spoke a bit petulantly and took out the Walkman he’d acquired “by chance.”
Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, dismissing his frivolous deanor, and focused intently on the object in Ming Guest’s hand.
“…”
His expression changing by the minute, a fascinating mix of 70% confusion and 30% irritation, the man who could see the truth said:
“—Isn’t this a movie ticket?”
“?!”
Startled, Ming Guest turned his head only to find his hand suddenly empty!
By the ti he looked back, the black Walkman was already airborne, pulled by an invisible lasso toward the gray-haired youth.
Gongsun Ce himself charged forward while simultaneously, Qin Qianbai threw what he was holding at Ming Guest’s head!
“Oh.”
Ming Guest slightly waved his dagger, brushed aside the remnants of the battle, and with one slash of his longsword, snapped the telekinetic ropes.
He took the Walkman, its weight exactly as expected, and chuckled, “It seems not.”
“What a sha, it’s the real deal,” Gongsun Ce replied coldly, “Do you still have the energy for a second round, Miss?”
“My stamina is certainly more abundant than yours.
Be careful, his blade can cut through anything.”
Cut through anything.
That description probably contained no exaggeration.
He had clearly received the sensation of telekinesis being “cut” monts ago.
Whether it was his Impermanence Skill or his swordsmanship, the established fact wouldn’t change: this man could easily slice through intangible forces.
However—
The gray-haired youth raised his hand and created a white wall in the middle of the car’s front.
He caused nurous spikes to grow from the wall, smashing it towards Ming Guest not far away.
“Can you cut through this?”
White matter.
A deteriorated form of the Impermanence Skill inherited from a certain Knight.
It was one of his abilities he relied on in battle and the most durable substance he had ever seen in his life!
If even white matter was split in two by this man’s blade, then Gongsun Ce would have to seriously consider the issue of using a sword.
His expression was relaxed, but he was actually watching intently with imnse tension.
Not a single crack appeared on the white matter wall.
“It is very hard.”
Before he had finished speaking, the white matter wall crumbled into fragnts that filled the sky.
The man in blue erged from behind the wall, excitedly saying, “It takes two cuts.”
The conclusion was self-evident.
The substance he considered the most durable in his understanding was, before this man, nothing more than cardboard that required an extra cut.
The disparity in quality was right before his eyes.
“Tch, what an excessive guy—”
The gray-haired youth’s voice ca from afar.
In the mont Ming Guest was blocked by the white wall, Gongsun Ce swiftly retreated with the girl, standing outside a carriage section.
He waved sothing hidden in the palm of his hand at the girl, and without waiting for a reply, he asked, “Weapon?
Armor?”
“Ah Ce, you’re being quite excessive too,” the girl started to say sothing, then thought better of it and continued, “Whatever, armor without a helt.”
The gray-haired youth clapped his hand, and Qin Qianbai was transford.
Her eyes still blazed with fighting spirit, and the ink blade she held was no longer in her grasp, replaced by a pure white longsword without a blemish.
Armor made of the sa material clung to her graceful figure, as if she were a female general charging into battle.
At this mont, she seed more like a war general than a knight.
Only such preparations could be considered barely adequate against the man known as Ming Guest, whose danger far surpassed any mortal war!
“Hmph.”
Ming Guest advanced on his own initiative.
The Martial Artist’s intuition was extrely sharp, sending him a warning signal.
The girl’s deanor had drastically changed; her thoughts were no longer about struggling with the premise of certain defeat, but a life-for-life struggle—
It was a battle with the goal of defeating him!
“Two people’s cooperation does not necessarily an they are stronger than one.”
With the intent of a senior, he sincerely warned them.
In an instant, the man crossed tens of ters with his body, his dulled blade flashing before both their eyes.
“This is not necessarily the case.”
Clang!
The lightning-fast attack was t with an equally swift response by the girl.
Cracks spread across the white matter longsword, but it did not shatter.
She had not managed to receive the attack just because she had a temporary weapon at her disposal.
No, it was a matter of speed.
Her speed had undergone a qualitative improvent.
From barely managing to block in haste, she advanced to a divine speed capable of counterattacking…
In the realm of speed, she now stood on the sa starting line as him!
“Ha!”
For the first ti since the battle began, Qin Qianbai took the initiative to attack.
The increase in speed brought an enhancent in all aspects.
Even if she could read his battle intentions a step ahead, the defense unfolded at the sa real-ti speed, forcing Ming Guest to use his blade to parry rather than easily dodge!
“Oh, another Dragon Species ability!”
The man in blue countered her attack with a slash of his dagger; the white matter longsword, filled with cracks, completely shattered upon impact.
Through the snowflake-like fragnts floating in the air, he saw the expression on the gray-haired youth’s face.
“—Accelerate.”
He looked intensely at the girl brandishing the sword, not sparing a glance at the enemy.
The white matter longsword flew from the youth’s hand, and in the nick of ti, the girl, snatched it, slashing towards the longsword.
In the sky above, the clang of tal resounded.
The Martial Artists’ duel stage was affected by the aftermath of this strike, collapsing and cracking like a rock plate during an earthquake.
The three of them plumted towards the ground, and Gongsun Ce exerted his powers to their fullest to create a white matter land in the high sky.
What replaced the azure blue train was a pure white dueling ground conjured out of thin air.
“Good!
Can it be faster?
Can it be stronger?”
Ming Guest shouted in inquiry, asking the two adversaries.
The gray-haired youth forced his mind to enhance the output of his support powers once again.
“Let’s find out —!”
The Martial Artists landed simultaneously, unsheathed their swords at the sa ti, and comnced a new round of killings on the brand-new grounds!
