It shattered! That half shield which easily blocked the Demon Eyes of Destruction and all other forms of attacks shattered after Qian Zhanxuan hit it.
The remaining force in Qian Zhanxuan’s strike continued forward and shattered Qian Jin’s right arm. Even though Qian Jin exploded the warrior seal for Dividing Metal Multi-Chops, he still wasn’t able to stop that force.
“Not dead?”
In his elf king bloodline battle form, Qian Zhanxuan’s golden eyebrows twisted together, and he looked surprised.
This strike looked ordinary, but it contained supreme power. Even if the Demon King saw it, he could pay attention to it. The Leader of Qian Family used [Kun] Fighting Technique to change the air pressure, concentrating all the pressure onto one point to unleash a unique shockwave.
This strike that looked ordinary was not so simple as Qian Zhanxuan made it look; it was already one of his killing strikes. Even if this strike penetrated Qian Jin and Duren Burg and turned them into dust, Qian Zhanxuan wouldn’t be surprised.
Qian Zhanxuan had done the calculation. In his mind, he was going to kill Qian Jin and Duren Burg first. Then, with a move of his finger, he could control the remaining power in the strike and kill the rest of humans and demons. After all that was done, Qian Zhanxuan thought the power in this strike that he created, Ultimate Kun Finger, wouldn’t be much lower.
However, that shield somehow canceled out most of the power of the Ultimate Kun Finger, and the remaining force only broke one of Qian Jin’s arms.
Qian Zhanxuan frowned subconsciously as he thought, “What was that item? Although I attacked from afar and didn’t contact Qian Jin, the powerful force still existed.”
Puff! Qian Jin opened his mouth and puked up another mouthful of blood. He didn’t want to take Qian Zhanxuan’s strike head-on, but he had no choice. Qian Zhanxuan’s finger strike was shocking, and there was no pattern to follow in his combat style; there was nothing that Qian Jin could take advantage of.
Simple and direct. It seemed like there weren’t any changes, but countless changes could take place in a flash. Qian Zhanxuan’s combat force seemed to be able to shake the stars.
Qian Jin felt like Qian Zhanxuan turned into a tall mountain that soared into the universe; it was unclimbable and unconquerable.
“I attacked twice and didn’t kill a person?” Qian Zhanxuan slowly raised his right hand, and his right hand clenched into a fist. Suddenly, his fist opened as his five fingers all pointed out, and his palm struck forward. It seemed like the cosmos was filled by this strike, and no creature could dodge it.
Cech Flet’s warrior power boiled, and his bloodline power piqued! Just as his three pairs of wings were about to appear, an insane streak of warrior power and intense pressure suddenly appeared behind him. Sword light engulfed the battlefield, and the afterglow of the setting sun seemed dim and inferior.
The palm strike that seemed to fill the cosmos was shattered by the sword light.
Qian Zhanxuan’s palm lightly shook, and he frowned and observed the person who suddenly appeared.
Fabreidis!
Fabreidis, the first ordinary warrior who became a saint, the person who Qian Jin hadn’t seen in many days, stood in front of Qian Jin with his longsword. A giant streak of sword energy soared into the sky, and the sky and the land, that were both spinning, stopped. Like a pillar that propped by the sky, Fabreidis stood in front of Qian Jin and protected him.
“Uncle…”
“Kid.” Fabreidis turned around and looked at Qian Jin who was puking blood and not dead. He said, “I’m here on time, right? Also, shouldn’t you call me father-in-law?”
Qian Jin smiled powerlessly and said, “If you came a bit earlier… it would be even better.”
“Heroes… should always appear at the most critical moment. Otherwise…” Fabreidis lightly rotated his longsword in hand and said, “How can the value of a hero be showcased?”
Qian Jin slowly lay back onto the ground and smiled. Uncle Fabreidis who he hadn’t seen for many days joked with him right away; it meant that Qian Jin’s father-in-law was in a good mood. At least he was feeling much better compared to when he left Yulee City.
“Fabreidis?” Qian Zhanxuan put both of his hands behind his back, and he stood firm like a mountain as he raised his head while saying, “One of the Three Heroes of [Warrior Hall]. I’m surprised that you became a saint warrior…”
“Surprised? Yeah, you should be surprised.” Fabreidis slowly nodded and looked back at Qian Zhanxuan. A level of hatred that was much sharper than his sword energy dashed out of his eyes as he said, “You probably didn’t think that I would pick up my sword again, right?”
“I believed that you would pick up your sword,” Qian Zhanxuan said with confidence and arrogance, “You are a warrior; how can you abandon your sword? I, Qian Zhanxuan, never misjudge people! You are born to be a warrior. I’m only surprised that you become a saint. I’m glad.”
Qian Zhanxuan looked at Fabreidis as if a senior was appreciating a junior, and he said, “You are one of the Three Heroes of [Warrior Hall]. You are the most talented, and you are qualified to become a saint warrior. I had once thought that when you picked up your sword, I would ask people to find you a suitable soul weapon so that you can become the first saint warrior out of the ordinary warriors.”
“Since you are now in the Saint Warrior Realm, and you picked up your sword, you should be on the Human-Demon Battlefront and not here.” Qian Zhanxuan pointed at Qian Jin and said, “You shouldn’t be protecting this person. He is colluding with the demons, and he established relationships with various demon clans. He deserves to die, and you should be standing with me…”
“Many years ago…” Fabreidis slowly swirled his sword as he gently murmured; it seemed like he was recalling something. “[Warrior Hall] once had three heroes, and their goal was to challenge bloodline warriors and establish the honor for ordinary warriors. Back then, although you Qian Zhanxuan was a bloodline warrior, the Three Heroes of [Warrior Hall] admired you.”
Qian Zhanxuan slightly nodded and looked pleased. Bloodline warriors could command numerous ordinary warriors, but the ordinary warriors rarely respected them, especially the warriors in [Warrior Hall] whose goal was to challenge bloodline warriors.
“I once thought that I was lucky to get to know the great Elf King Bloodline Warrior Qian Zhanxuan,” Fabreidis said with cold self-mockery, “I was once honored by it.”
“You can still maintain this honor.” Qian Zhanxuan nodded and said, “If you want, you can join Qian Family’s legion at any time.”
“That was before.” Fabreidis looked at Qian Zhanxuan and said, “Since one of the three heroes, Gomez Yingyu…”
“There is no such person called Gomez Yingyu in the Three Heroes of [Warrior Hall].” Qian Zhanxuan lightly waved his finger and said, “You should know it clearly by now. She isn’t a human but a… demon.”
“A demon!” As if a bolt of lightning struck Qian Jin, and he suddenly thought to himself, “Gomez? Isn’t it Gomez Jane’s family name? She took the family name of her mom… Gomez Jane is a mixed-blood, and Uncle Fabreidis’s lover was a demon?”
“Yes, she is a demon,” Fabreidis said with a cold expression, “But she never harmed warriors of Zence. At least hundreds of warriors of Zence died in my hands; had she ever killed a single warrior of Zence?”
After a moment of silence, Qian Zhanxuan said, “The ones who exposed her identity came from the demon…”
“Was it really from the demons?” Fabreidis sneered and cut off Qian Zhanxuan’s speech, “Powerful Elf King Bloodline Warrior, are you afraid of admitting what you’ve done? If someone didn’t reveal this information to the demons, would the information come back to the Zence Empire?”
Qian Zhanxuan raised his eyebrows, slightly nodded, and said without shame, “It isn’t that I don’t dare to admit to it; I just want you to unleash your anger onto the demons, using your strength for the benefit of the people of Zence. You shouldn’t be disarmed in the warm embrace of a demon spy, and your warrior’s will shouldn’t be sanded away.”
From Qian Zhanxuan and Fabreidis’ conversation, Qian Jin gradually understood what had happened.
Out of the Three Heroes of [Warrior Hall], one of them was a demon, and this demon later became Fabreidis’ wife. Then, the demons exposed this information and revealed Gomez Yingyu’s identity.
However, the real schemer behind this wasn’t the demons but Qian Zhanxuan, this arrogant and conceited elf king bloodline warrior and the Leader of Qian Family.
“Demons, and humans…” Qian Zhanxuan waved his finger and said, “Can’t fall in love. That will only hurt you. Fabreidis, what kind of women do you want? I can find one for you. I believe that you can tell right from wrong.”
“Demons and humans can’t fall in love.” Qian Jin heard this, and his body shivered. Lucifer Lucy appeared in his mind, and he thought, “If the Tenth Princess returned to the Zence Empire with me today, perhaps…”
“Demons and humans can’t fall in love.” Qian Jin clenched his teeth and thought, “This Qian Zhanxuan is too overbearing! He has to get involved in other people’s life and love. If he isn’t beaten down, what happened to Uncle Fabreidis will happen to me, Duren Burg, and others!”
“That is right; I can tell right from wrong.” Fabreidis raised his longsword, and the tip of the sword pointed at Qian Zhanxuan. Fabreidis said, “You revealed the identity of my wife, and you sent warriors to kill her. That is the fact.”
“I did all that; that is right.” Qian Zhanxuan looked up without pretending and said, “I didn’t kill your daughter since I don’t want your spirit to be completely crushed. Otherwise, the mixed-blood between a human and a demon had to be wiped out. Fabreidis, if you can only walk out of the shadow of the past, I will give you this opportunity. You can stay with me and entered the Human-Demon Battlefront with me. If one day I’m severely injured and can’t be saved, you can kill me and avenge your Gomez Yingyu.”
Qian Zhanxuan sighed and said, “Now, I need to retain my life and kill a few more demons on the Human-Demon Battlefront.”
“Hehe… what a ‘heroic’ speech. Everything you do is right, and everything I do is wrong.” Fabreidis shook his head and said, “You never experienced love. In your eyes, women are only objects that you can play with and give birth to children. However, I’m different. I had the love of my life, and I don’t need any other women. I only need my Gomez Yingyu.”
“Qian Zhanxuan, you killed my wife, and now you are trying to kill my son-in-law and destroy a hydra bloodline genius.” Fabreidis shook his head and said, “You are far from the great image that you paint yourself to be.”
“You…” Qian Zhanxuan’s face dropped, and murderous spirit appeared in his eyes. He said, “I can let you throw a tantrum since you are the pride of ordinary warriors. However, that doesn’t mean you can stop what I want to do. Qian Jin? This kid must die. As to this hydra? I won’t kill him for the sake of the Snake Emperor.”
Fabreidis smiled tragically and said, “What else is there to say? Last time, my wife was severely injured by the people you sent, and I was surrounded by enemies and wasn’t able to protect her. This time, do you want me to watch my son-in-law get killed? And let my daughter be heart-broken? What is the purpose and value of my life then?”
“Since there is none, you can die as well.”
