Martial Research Master-Chapter 315

315 FLOWER OF BLOOD DEVIL-The reason spear of Blood Devil was so powerful was because of its ability to adapt to the situation. Unlike traditional spear arts, the spear required a specific type of spear that had to be crafted according to the procedure enlisted within the scripture. When Huang first tested the theory out and had a spear crafted according to the procedure, he was shocked to find out that the spear was way different.

The spear was not only longer than the traditional ones but was extremely light when compared to others. The other shocking thing was the grips on the spear, as it had two grips, but Spear of Blood devil was strictly concentrating on single-handed use. It was only later that he managed to understand the reason behind the two grips.

Blood Devil, the supposed creator of this art, was a spear fanatic. He didn’t have any particular style or a dominant hand at first. Hence the spears art he designed combined left, right and both used at the same time. The grips were specifically made for that purpose.

The Flower steps of Blood Devil was an ever-changing art that didn’t rely on any particular sequence. When Huang started practicing the Blood Devil’s spear art, this was the first skill he learned. The Flower of Blood Devil was named after the footwork used while performing this art.

The footwork seemed to be leaving Floor imprints in the ground, as the art was well suited for all types of attack. It is especially useful when the user is fighting against multiple enemies at the same time.

The footwork executed by Huang immediately increased his speed to a higher degree. Li Xuanfa tried to keep up, but the spear arts were too unpredictable while being powerful and fast. The speed limits Li Xuanfa’s movement while the unpredictability restricted his defense. He had to use a huge amount of Qi to form a barrier around himself to actively detect the incoming attack.

Li Xuanfa was not only pushed back but was slowly being overwhelmed. In the last few encounters, he not only wasted a lot of Qi but was inflicted with a lot of injuries on his right and left abdomen.

“I am impressed by your ability to run away,” Huang said to Li Xuanfa.

“Dodging is not a cowardly act. In a battle, everything is right as long as you eliminate your opponent.” Li Xuanfa was unfazed in the face of this accusation.”

.....

Huang was pissed at the attitude of his rival and continued his attacks on Li Xuanfa. He soon understands that Li Xuaaf wouldn’t be able to continue this stance for a very long time. He prepared himself for his true attacks.

“Since you were kind enough to show me your secret skills, I will respond in kind. This art is called “Yin-Thurster”, a sword art that was formulated by the ancestor of our Black-Devil Hall.” Li Xuanfa’s sword was covered with black energy as he clashed with the incoming spear.

The clash continued, but the result was soon visible. Even if a lot of ancestor’s efforts went into the creation of the ‘Yin-thruster’, ‘Spear of Blood Devil’ was a godly art that was created by a cultivator who must be a saint at the very least. Huang was slowly gaining the upper hand in the battle.

The Black energy was slowly being consumed by the Blood devil’s energy, making it stronger as time went by. Li Xuanfa was shocked by the revelation that his art fell behind his enemy in this clash. Just what grade of art was he using?

Li Xuanfa rushed backward and created some distance between himself and Huang. He understood that he will never be able to win against Huang if he continued to use the ‘Yin-Thurst’.

“I guess the origin of your art is quite grand.” Li Xuanfa raised his hands and fired at the sky. It was a signal for the reinforcement teams to attack the Emerald Hall’s forces from behind. Huang was alerted by the sudden development. He realized that the attack was some kind of signal to someone.

Soon enough the backup forces arrived, but to his surprise, Li Xuanfa found that out of the two forces he had placed in the Misty-Valley, only one responded. He had a bad premonition about this development but decided to proceed with the situation.

Emerald Hall was taken in by surprise and lost quite a large chunk of its force to the surprise attack. The equivalence was soon broken, as the Black-Devil’s side was overwhelming the Emerald Amethyst Hall. The number ratio in their troops was now 2:1, which meant that Emerald Hall started to rapidly lose their forces.

“You must have planned this for a long time,” Huang commented on the situation.

“How could I expect to eliminate the provisional Holy son of Emerald Amethyst Hall without proper preparation? I welcome you to see the massacre of your forces with me.” Li Xuanfa’s energy changed once again as a black figure now emerged behind him. It was not as grand as the blood outline behind Huang, but it radiated a powerful aura.

“This art is one of the core parts of the church, named ‘Yin Cleaver’. It is an honor for me to go against you.” Li Xuanfa’s new skill managed to clash properly with Huang’s spear without being devoured or eliminated. It showed that the Yin-Cleaver was art on the same level as Flower of Blood Devil.

The two continued their fight, forgetting about the situation around them. Li Xuanfa was at ease since he knew that they had an upper hand in terms of numbers. Huang was feeling confident because the vice-leader who accompanied him, hasn’t revealed his full strength yet. A spear and a sword could be seen clashing with each other, leaving sparks all around them.

.................................

“Prepare yourself. We will be moving in anytime now.” Li Meng instructed his party members. He was surprised by Li Xuanfa’s battle plans, as he didn’t expect there to be another backup troop. It seemed that the Emerald Hall was going to lose the battle unless a miracle occurs on the battlefield.

“Wait for some more time.” The Keeper said in an alert voice

“Did you discover something?” Li Meng asked.

“I could feel a unique change within the Emerald holy son’s body. It is as if something sealed is going to burst out soon. Be alert. Probe the situation for some more time.”
