Chapter 562: Battle!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Battle broke out in this moment of silence. Both parties were tough characters. Every strike resulted in someone’s death.
Three men rushed towards Li Duhong at lightning speeds. Their formation resembled the shape of a Chinese character ‘品.’ Li Duhong was fearless. He stared at these three men coldly. The people from his clan who were with him, not only did not lend him a hand but were busy fleeing away to the other two sides.
A ray of blue light spread over Li Duhong’s hands, looking both like fire and water, completely missing the original appearance of a metal. Blue eyes twinkled beneath the square mask. He moved his right leg half a step backward and bent slightly, confronting the three cardless sects who were coming straight to his face.
In his eyes, these three men were no different from three beasts. He raised his hands slightly and crossed them in front of his chest. His square, stiff mask was expressionless, and his dark blue eyes coldly watched the rapidly incoming enemies. He could clearly see the grim and distorted expressions on these three faces. In the blue field of vision, there were circles of ripples, among which the movements of these people became extremely slow.
The distance between the two parties was rapidly closing, but Li Duhong remained motionless. However, the blue light on his arm converged at an astonishing speed in his slightly open fingertips. The ten metal hooked fingers emitted brilliant blue light. All of which converged and compressed above these ten points.
Distance: Fifteen meters!
In the blue field of vision, the other party’s face was full of joy. At such a close distance, the cardless sects’ Air Slash could exert its greatest power. All three of them screeched in unison, slashing their arms in the air!
The three transparent air slashes rushed towards Li Duhong from three different angles. The unique shrieking sound of Airskill was breathtaking yet terrifying. Li Duhong moved at last!
The burning fingers which were too bright to look at directly moved lightly in the air. With a gentle move, ten blue energy filaments spewed out from his fingertips, like a jungle spider suddenly spitting out its deadly poisonous silk! Ten blue filaments of energy swept through the air, making a whining noise. Each energy filament was about 20 meters long and interwoven into a wire mesh. The branches and leaves in the wire mesh, once touched by these blue energy filaments would be cut into numerous pieces in the blink of an eye! Without any suspense, the three sharp Air Slashes plunged into the energy wire mesh at one end.
Ping Ping Ping!
It was so crisp that it sounded like a hard crash. The three transparent breaths of air burst like glass on the spot! It seemed to set off a small storm in a tiny area, shaking the energy filaments nearby.
The expression of the three people changed slightly! These seemingly blue energy filaments which looked light and weak had such shocking power!
At this time, the distance between both parties was close to 10 meters. These three cardless sects could only see clearly that the seemingly tiny energy wires had been vibrating at an alarming speed and frequency. The high-frequency vibration of the blue filaments gave them a sense of danger. Any object touched by them would be cut in an instant!
The three were dumbfounded! Sure enough, nothing was too strange for the Heavenly Federation! They had seen countless energy bodies these days, but it was the first time they had seen an energy filament that was constantly vibrating at high frequencies. All three of them were experienced warriors. They knew that once they were touched, they would be cut for sure! Their fate was still in the hands of the other party, since a flesh injury may be the least of their concerns. This energy silk thread could be rigid or soft, which was undoubtedly causing a headache to others. However, they were all elites of their tribes. Though this made them panic, it did not cause any chaos.
Although the three air blades did not pose a threat to the enemy, they could still notice one detail. When the Air Slash broke, the turbulent airflow blew the energy filament aside! If the turbulent airflow were large enough, it would be enough to let the other party’s energy mesh revealed its flaws. In the electro-optical flint space, it allowed the observation of all the details that could be utilized. These people were the real masters of cardless sects.
The three of them cooperated tacitly and screeched together! The right hands of the three vanished in the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dense and endless streams of air cut through their hands, and crazily bombarded the net of blue energy filaments in front of Li Duhong.
Ping Ping Ping Ping…
A scalp numbing explosion occurred!
Air Slash was like a moth fighting fire, shrieking toward the energy network, and then exploding in front of the energy network!
The air of the energy network suddenly became violent. The broken air fragments ripped through the area, forming a small storm! The unbreakable energy filaments were ultimately soft that they could be blown up and down by the turbulent air.
The three people’s eyes brightened up at the same time!
A gap!
Under the ripping of the strong airflow, the blue energy filaments on the right rib of Li Duhong was sweeping off to form a clear gap!
This is our chance!
All three of them moved the same arm lightly. The three Air Slashes were flying towards that gap with great precision.
Suddenly, Li Duhong’s square steady mask looked rather peculiar.
The blue filaments all over the sky suddenly pulled back at a surprising speed, wrapping up both arms, chest, back, and both legs like spiritual snakes rapidly and even the mask interlaced with the blue energy filaments. Nearly in the blink of an eye, Li Duhong wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling!
The sudden change frightened the other three, and then they saw an unforgettable scene for life.
Li Duhong gently stretched out his left hand, and five metal fingers grabbed the three Air Slashes. Pinching the five fingers enveloped in the metal gloves lightly; the sharp Air Slash snapped in a muffled thud.
Pinched, crushed…
The eyes of the three men widen up instantly, and they looked at Li Duhong, who was entangled by the blue energy filaments like a rice dumpling as though they saw a ghost.
How is this possible…
It was impossible to crush the Air Slash like this, even if it was for the cardless sects! They were so shocked that they didn’t even notice the distance between them and Li Duhong was only less than five meters!
Li Duhong flicked his right pinky, and a blue energy filament like a serpent quietly popped up and swept toward the three of them. Meanwhile, he clenched his right fist and swung violently toward the enemy at the center.
The warrior at the center, who had just recovered from his shock was surprised to see the fist swinging towards him.
Fighting hand to hand with a cardless sect disciple? Wasn’t that looking for death?
He shouted and waved his fist without hesitation.
When the two men who had just regained their composure saw this scene, their surprised looks suddenly disappeared, and then they started smirking. They were full of confidence in their fists! Maybe in Mohadi Domain, his fist was not considered the best, but in the Heavenly Federation, besides that person, they did not believe anyone else could beat it!
As for the gloves on the other party’s hands, they were quite a thing. However, metal was not a unique material in Mohadi Domain. Only junior warriors would use gloves that were made of metal. At their level, both their hands were harder than metal. The two fists collided coincidentally!
Bang!
Together with the sound of bone fracturing and a clump of blood fog, a twisted right hand was revealed!
The warrior of the cardless sects in the middle gave out a pitiful cry. His right hand almost destroyed under a powerful impact. His jagged bone jutted out from his flesh and blood. The pain reached his brain, and his physiological function was severely damaged, causing him to faint immediately.
The outcome was totally beyond the expectation of the other two people! They looked with both their eyes wide open and caught off guard for a moment. They could not imagine the scene in front of them. The bleeding arm in front of them was in distinct contrast with the solid metal fist tangled in blue.
A thin line of energy swept quietly toward the two men, but the two in shock were not aware of it.
Li Duhong’s pinky flicked again!
Hiss! As if a cobra that was aiming at its prey suddenly spat out its poison, this thin line of energy shot out abruptly!
They were shocked, but it was too late! A thin red line appeared on their neck. Two seconds later, the blood sprayed out, and they fell on their backs.
The blue filaments did not linger, and it pierced precisely into the throat of the fainted warrior of the cardless sects. With a gentle shake of Li Duhong’s finger, the blue filament cut off the warrior’s skull with ease.
Benji’s face looked placid, but he was shocked deep in his heart.
Who the hell were these people?
The sudden emergence of these people was bizarre, especially since their fighting techniques were completely different from the card artisans and cardless sects that he had seen before. They wore weird masks and metal gloves on their hands. Just now, he had a fight with one of them, and the strength of the other party surprised him. What astonished him was how the man was completely fine after punching him.
Their blue filaments made his men more defensive.
Benji’s vision was undoubtedly beyond those of ordinary cardless sects. He soon understood some mysteries. Although he did not know the specific role of the mask, it could make the enemy stronger. And the key to their metal gloves was the blue filaments, especially the blue filaments all over the body that could even hit him with a punch! He did not believe that someone’s physical strength could be stronger than the cardless sects!
The main factor was the blue filaments around the body, which seemed to be able to equally distribute the received power to the whole body, not only that but also to concentrate the entire body’s power input, resulting in no injuries when getting hit by the opposite party.
Speed was the limitation of the other party. But these people clearly understood this too, and they used the blue filaments to make up for the gap caused by their slow speed. Even he found it difficult to start when the blue filaments flew over.
The other side was like a hedgehog, which made it impossible to attack. However, Benji’s strength was obviously superior to other cardless sects. Although he had yet to discover the weaknesses of these people, he remained calm. It was his unusual ease on the battlefield that was soon noticed by Li Duhong after he got rid of his three opponents.
