Chapter 167: Burn It, Phoenix!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qin Shaoyang hesitated for a bit because he didn’t expect that Hao Ren would make such a request.
What he planned originally was to utilize the chance of testing Hao Ren’s realm and rush a violent energy into Hao Ren’s body and mess up the allocations in his body. It was like a pool that could only contain 1,000 cubic meters suddenly got caught in 10,000 cubic meters of water. The process would definitely be extremely painful and could even destroy his meridians.
His identity was the inspector on patrol. Even if this matter would break his relationship with East Ocean, he didn’t have to worry about it. He must revenge for what happened last time.
“However, as of that sphere, I still don’t know how to cast it. Though Mr. Qin wouldn’t mind my suggestion, right?” Hao Ren continued.
Hao Ren said one sentence after the other. It made Qin Shaoyang seemed like he was afraid if he didn’t battle against him.
“Fine. Bring it on if you want to fight!” he wore a silver suit and looked handsome. Yet, he didn’t even want to take off his jacket fighting against Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was more cautious as he unbuttoned the jacket of his black suit and handed it to Zhao Hongyu, who stood nearby. He only wore a striped dress shirt.
He was dressed up by a hairstylist and a makeup artist and looked very handsome. This was also the first time Zhao Yanzi saw Hao Ren wear a suit. Therefore, she discovered that this sloppy uncle actually looked handsome at a time like this.
Zhao Yanzi, who was chatting with Su Han, dragged Su Han along and walked over when she saw the situation wasn’t looking good,
Her striped blouse was a matching set with Hao Ren’s, and it could be seen as a couple outfit. In the crowd, they stood right beside each other and looked very dubious.
“In the presence of many seniors, I, Qin Shaoyang, am unwilling to bully a young kid and will temporarily reduce myself to Kan-level. It’ll count toward my defeat if any of my moves are above Kan-level,” Qin Shaoyang looked around and said confidently.
People backed off a few steps and left them with a circle of three to four meters in diameter. The power of Kan-level was just like tickles to these guests; how powerful could the attacks of a seven or eight-year-old kid be?
As for those kids, they wouldn’t encounter any danger because the elders would protect them. Therefore, no one cared about battling without a sphere.
Hao Ren walked up two steps and revolved the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
Zhao Yanzi, who stood outside of the site, held Su Han’s hand and was slightly nervous. “Hao Ren took the initiative and challenged Qin Shaoyang. What’s going on?”
Su Han didn’t quite get it either. Even if everybody demoted themselves to Kan-level, Qin Shaoyang’s practical experience couldn’t be neglected. A person in the Li-level might not be able to win against a Kun-level Master who only uses the power of Kan-level.
“Please!” Hao Ren leaned forward slightly and reached out his hands.
“Humph!” Qin Shaoyang snorted coldly. Since it was a battle between Kan-levels, he wouldn’t take out his dharma treasure. He held his fists tightly and stared at Hao Ren.
Metal-elemental of cultivation techniques were known for its sharpness. As long as the energy was revolving in the cultivator’s hands, one could also easily chop iron. In the cultivation technique of the five elements, the metal element had the highest attack power. It was high enough that it could reach the power of dharma treasures just by utilizing one’s fists and legs.
Hao Ren released a long breath, and his middle finger suddenly flicked forward. A long and narrow white sword energy flew toward Qin Shaoyang.
Metal-elemental sword energy!
Qin Shaoyang opened his palm, faced the sword energy and directly broke it into pieces!
Hao Ren didn’t show any disappointment. He waved his hand again, and another red sword energy flew toward Qin Shaoyang!
Fire-elemental sword energy!
Again, Qin Shaoyang didn’t panic at all. He randomly hit with his hand and turned the weak sword energy into pieces of energy!
Su Han sighed slightly. This Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll is indeed flashy yet not practical. The offense power of its early stage was weak as hell, and it was still unknown whether or not one could cultivate it until the late stages.
Hao Ren’s face was solemn as if he couldn’t be careless at all. He swung his hand and threw out another ray of green sword energy!
Wood-elemental sword energy!
Qin Shao Yang didn’t even have to use his hand but inhaled a deep breath in and blew forward. This green splendid-looking sword energy was blown away immediately.
Hahaha… A few kids who were watching couldn’t stifle their laughter. Hao Ren’s attack looked great but wasn’t even as good as their attacks!
Elder Mu, who stood by the side, looked at Hao Ren and Qin Shaoyang, who were still fighting in the circle and smiled. “It’s interesting how this little guy actually knows how to utilize the cultivation technique of the five elements. However, his attack power is kind of weak.”
Three attacks without hitting the target made Hao Ren anxious. Sword energies of the five elements shot out randomly. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth corresponded with white, green, blue, red, and yellow. They looked like fireworks that didn’t cost money and shot continuously toward Qin Shaoyang.
Qin Shaoyang revolved the cultivation technique in his palms leisurely and broke these ticklish sword energies. He could deal with more complicated and more chaotic attacks than this. Therefore, he’s simply depleting Hao Ren’s energy and saw him as a joke.
Hao Ren, who stood on the site, seemed like he couldn’t handle the situation. He released the sword energy and backed off at the same time.
His back bumped into Elder Mu’s body and almost fell. He panicked and placed his hand there for support.
Hahaha… the surrounding kids laughed even louder. They didn’t support anyone and only laughed at whoever made a fool of themselves.
At the same time, Elder Mu felt a trace of nature energy flowing out from the front of his body.
Hao Ren’s finger shot out another ray of green sword energy again. His posture was unbalanced as if he was scared Qin Shaoyang would come closer.
Qin Shaoyang didn’t care and waved with a palm to block this sword energy.
Peng! Peng! Peng!!!
Green sword energy suddenly exploded in his palm. Qin Shaoyang, who had no defense, walked back six steps abruptly. He looked at his palm again, and it was in jet black.
If he was in the realm of the Kun-level, he didn’t need to be afraid of this type of attack. However, his demoted himself to the realm of Kan-level!
Hao Ren’s attack power that he threw out just now was at least the attack power of Li-level!
Hao Ren didn’t even give him a chance to check nor gasp. Shua! Shua! Shua sounds followed by another three rays of green wood-elemental sword energy!
Qin Shaoyang couldn’t block and couldn’t hide either. A light veil appeared in his hands to defend!
Peng! Peng! A wave of fluctuations came from the defensive veil of Kan-level. The third sword energies pierced through!
Qin Shaoyang clamped the sword energy hastily with both of his hands. The sword energies exploded in his hands when it encountered an obstacle!
Peng…
Qin Shaoyang was covered in ashes due to the explosion. His handsome and clean face was suddenly covered in black smoke!
Hua! Hua! Hua! Hao Ren didn’t even give him time to adjust and threw out another three rays of wood-elemental sword energies!
Elder Mu, who stood on the side, felt his genuine energy flow out of his body. Even though for his majestic cultivation power, and the lost energy was insignificant, he understood where Hao Ren’s sword energies came from!
Grafting one twig on another (TL: a Chinese idiom that means substituting one thing for another by stealth)!
“What kind of technique is this kiddo cultivating?” Elder Mu, who was knowledgeable, began to wonder. He could control the leakage of the nature essence by controlling it through his mind, and Kan-level Hao Ren wouldn’t be able to borrow any. However, today he was here to eat at Zhao Yanzi’s birthday dinner, and he couldn’t expose it. He could only let Hao Ren grab his nature essence bit by bit.
Yet, Hao Ren felt bad for grabbing too much nature essence from this senior. He moved a few steps and stood in front of Elder Shang, who was looking at the situation.
Elder Shang also felt his nature essence get sucked out. The suction was very weak. It felt like a mosquito bite, but it still got sucked a little.
Hong!
Hao Ren’s hand shot out a red sword energy!
Qin Shaoyang, who was about to clean his face, couldn’t care less and grabbed his weaving shuttle-like Dharma treasure!
The sword energy and the weaving shuttle clashed with each other and made an exploding sound! It seemed like the power of the sword energy wasn’t any weaker than the defense of the dharma treasure.
Hao Ren didn’t hesitate and threw out another three rays of red sword energies.
The remarkable ability of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was its capability of absorbing elements, converting elements, and having five element sword energies!
And the seniors who cultivated their cultivation techniques to their maximum were the purest elemental aggregate themselves! There weren’t any tiny bit of other elements in their bodies, and Hao Ren could randomly absorb any pure element.
These elements couldn’t be stored in the body, but they could help the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll increase the damage and attack.
Three rays of fire-red sword energies rushed in front of Qin Shaoyang, and he didn’t have a chance to dodge. If he could use the power of Kun-level, the weaving shuttle could expand indefinitely and block these three rays of sword energies. Yet, he already promised to use the strength of Kan-level, and there were so many pairs of eyes watching him. He could only use the Metalen Shuttle to block one, dodge another and then use his bare hands to take down the last!
Peng…
The red sword energy exploded in Qin Shaoyang’s hands!
Five elements could assist each other, but they could also counter each other! Metal countered wood, but fire countered metal!
If Qin Shaoyang’s metal-elemental defense could still block a portion of the wood-elemental sword energy, then this fire-elemental sword energy was the huge enemy to Qin Shaoyang’s metal-elemental cultivation technique!
The rich fire element borrowed from Elder Shang encountered Qin Shaoyang’s hands with metal-elemental cultivation technique. The power was already strong enough, but at this moment it was unstoppable!
Qin Shaoyang took three steps back abruptly but still couldn’t block this fire-elemental sword energy! The surrounding fire-elemental fragments left many cuts on his black suit.
The sword energy burned out. Qin Shaoyang’s hair also got burnt by the scorching temperature!
At this moment, Qin Shaoyang didn’t look as confident and elegant as earlier. He totally looked like a spiritless hobo!
All was fair in battle! When Qin Shaoyang challenged him, Hao Ren already thought of his strategies! Showing his weaknesses before showing his strengths!
Elder Shang, who cultivated fire-elemental cultivation techniques, had a bad temper. He was one of Zhao Hongyu’s father’s best friend, and he came out because of Zhao Hongyu this time as well. He didn’t like this arrogant Qin Shaoyang. When Hao Ren absorbed the element again, he transferred stronger power into Hao Ren’s hand at his own accord.
Hua…
Hao Ren felt his hands burn and threw it out with the technique of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll in a hurry.
It was no longer a straight sword light that he threw out this time! It was… a speedily flying phoenix!
Phoenix’s nirvana would burn the universe!
This was the attack power of Zhen-level, which was a level above Li-level! It’s equivalent to a human Core Formation Cultivator’s full strike! And the one who was receiving this attack was Qin Shaoyang, who was equivalent to a human Qi Condensation Cultivator!
He would lose if he couldn’t block it!
He would also lose if he utilized a power higher than Kan-level!
Yet, Hao Ren never said that he could only use the power of Kan-level!
