Chapter 91: Pride of a Genius
Chapter 91: Pride of a Genius
At this moment, Guan Xing smiled. But, this smile wasn't a normal smile he used to show every time. This time he was genuinely smiling with the intention to laugh. For a second, he found his own greatest joy.
But, he slowly calmed down and spoke "Get ready, I don't think your opponent would be easy to face."
"Yeah!" Qin nodded with the burning fighting intent in his eyes. And, just after a few battles, his turn finally came. As he walked towards the ground, his opponent also came. But, when both of them saw each other, they froze for a moment.
"It seems this is a fate." Tan Ge bitterly smiled and spoke.
Qin nodded his head and spoke "It truly seemed like a fate to me. But, don't expect to get mercy from me."
"Neither from me!" Tan Ge smile disappeared and the lightning bolts appeared around him.
Whoosh!
The next moment, both of them disappeared. One moved with an extreme kick on the air and one transformed into a bolt of lightning.
"Lightning Finger!"
As soon as they appeared close to each other, Tan Ge raised his index finger and shot out a bolt of lightning. But as it moved, it transformed into a finger.
Bang!
Qin unsheathed his sword and coats it with sword energy. The next moment he swings his hand and slashed the lightning finger into half. His sword moved with extreme speed and slashed twice released a compressed wind blade.
"Wind Splitting Sword Art- Splitting the Wind"
Suddenly, Tan Ge moved his right hand to the top and left hand to the bottom and rotates his hands to the opposite positions, forming ten bolts of lightning crossing each other and one bolt of lightning forming a circle to hold those lightning bolts.
"Mystic Shield of Lightning!"
Bang!
He slowly swings his wrists and pushes the lightning bolts to shield towards the wind blade. When the wind blade collides with the shield, it got broken into pieces. But, the shield was completely fine. It moved towards Qin.
Seeing this shield, Qin realized the power of the lightning used by Tan Ge. But, he didn't frown. He immediately activates his Lightning Spirit Body. As soon as he activates the lightning spirit body, he puts his sword back and holds it tightly.
He pours his qi into the sword and closed his eyes for a moment. The moment shield reaches near him, he unsheathes his sword.
"Lightning Drawing Sword Art- Lightning Bolt!"
Bang! Boom!
When the lightning bolt collides with the lightning shield, a huge explosion resounded on the ground. It was so big that the entire crowd was shocked.
"I'm sorry, Brother Qin! But, I don't want to lose here."
At this moment, Tan Ge's voice rang from the other side of the explosion. But, the next second, a punch struck Qin's head. But, Qin's Qi Sense caught the fist before it could hit him. Even so, he could only put his forearm in front of the fist to block it.
Bang! Thud! Thud!
Tan Ge's fist struck Qin to the ground. He rolled for few times but quickly got up. He turned his head at Tan Ge and saw the red lightning flowing around his body.
Tan Ge smashed his fists together and muttered.
"Godspeed Mode- Scarlet Lightning"
Whoosh!
Tan Ge suddenly disappeared, leaving the scarlet lighting on the path. Qin tried to catch his body but his eyes couldn't catch him at all. He could only see the scarlet lighting moving in a circle.
'Calm down, Qin! If you can't see him with your eyes, the feel him with Qi Sense.'
Qin closed his eyes and stood without moving for a second. His Qi Sense burst out of him but it was still restricted. So, he could only sense what a normal Qi Gathering Realm cultivator can.
'Right, no left, no straight, no he is at the back.'
'Two breaths of time from right to left.'
'This speed! How can he tap such potential in the lightning element? And, why did his lightning turn scarlet? This speed is probably because of his scarlet lightning.'
'Here he comes!'
"Ugh!" Qin hurriedly raised his forearm to block the attack but Tan Ge punched twice. One punch struck his forearm and another punch struck his stomach. He groaned while he has pushed away several meters.
'Not just feet! This lightning has improved his reflexes and other parts' speed as well. Or, can he think fast as well?' Qin asked himself as he stabled his body from falling down. He saw Tan Ge moving around with incredible speed but he noticed something when Tan Ge punched for the second time.
Just like the previous time, he couldn't block but this time he punched three times. Even though two of his punches landed successfully, these feel less powerful than the previous punch.
'Is he getting tired?' Qin asked himself as he gathered his ice qi around his body, forming an ice armor. At this moment, the ice released out of his body and spread around the ground as well.
Bang! Thud! Thud!
As soon as Tan Ge's foot landed on the ground, he fell over ice. Only when fell, everyone saw his body covered with scarlet lightning. The scarlet lightning spread around and started melting the ice but until it melted, Tan Ge couldn't move.
'Damn! I forgot he also has an ice element. I hope my lightning can melt this ice before my stamina runs out. Thankfully, Shui'er ordered a huge meal for me yesterday.' While struggling to get up on the ice, Tan Ge gritted his teeth and spoke in his mind.
His body vibrates at a higher rate and formed a massive amount of scarlet lightning. As his body vibrates, it starts melting the ice around him. But, when he started melting the ice, Qin released more ice around him.
He was basically releasing qi and turning it into the ice with the ice element comprehension. Otherwise, his cultivation would be revealed.
But, the next moment he stopped using ice.
'Am I doing this right? I am not fighting like someone who is at the Qi Gathering Realm.'
'I should be fighting with my sword. Let's fight! Even if he fast, my sword can be faster.'
Qin held the hilt of his sword and paused. Everyone got confused by his action. But, there was a big smile on Guan Xing.
'Swordsman, they never rely on anything except for their swords. Because for them, everything is a sword.'
Guan Xing held the golden pen in his hand and thought 'You told me that he is the key. But, his path is messy. He is a swordsman. He will never change his original intention. And, it contradicts mine. Do you really think he is a key?'
At this moment, the pen in his hand trembled.
'You said I inherited that physique and I was chosen to be someone who writes other's fate. You said you were my weapon. In my life, I have never doubted you. But, this time I feel your decision is slightly wrong.'
'He is a person who is hungry for strength. I don't know to understand why he is the key?'
The pen trembled even more and Guan Xing sighed. He puts back the pen and stared at Qin.
'It said you have a bottom line. Is this your bottom line? Qin, show me what made you the key! Show me what a true swordsman is?'
"You are pulling your leg." Tan Ge freed himself from the ice and stared at Qin. There was anger, frustration, and humiliation in his eyes.
"No, I am not holding back. In fact, I am going to show you my true strength." Qin released his sword energy around him and slightly crouched down.
"No, you are not." Tan Ge shouted as he immediately stopped his Godspeed Mode and his scarlet lightning disappeared. His eyes turned red as he stared at Qin and shouted.
"Five years! I fucking put my life in life and death situation countless times. Each time I survived, I pushed myself to another level. This is not my arrogance. This is my pride. You holding back your strength is humiliating me."
"Even if I am defeated, use your full strength to defeat me."
At this moment, Qin slowly closed his eyes and spoke.
"Alright! I will use my full strength."
Concentrate!
Pour your physical strength into your sword, merge your sword energy into your sword and unsheathe it.
Whoosh!
"That's right! Use your full strength." Tan Ge shouted as he released all of his qi and transformed it into the lighting qi. It revolved around his body, forming a ring. He gripped his fingers on the ring and swing his body.
When he returned to his original position, he pulled the ring out and threw it towards Qin.
But, suddenly Qin reached in front of him. The ring had just left his hand when Qin swings his sword from top to bottom.
