Chapter 2649 One-on-One with a Half-Step Supreme!

First update, begging for subscriptions and monthly votes~~~

...

A dignified Half-Step Supreme Realm expert actually didn't attack Qin Fang head-on, but chose such a disgraceful sneak attack… If this gets out, it will absolutely ruin the reputation of the Golden Knight Order!

Of course, that's assuming it gets out and someone believes it!

It is said that the eight virtues of knights were spread by the Freemasonry's Three Knight Orders…

Even if the globally renowned name now belongs to the Holy See's Sacred Light Knights… but this doesn't affect the strong reputation of Freemasonry's Three Knight Orders.

"Humph…"

Allen can become the deputy leader of the Golden Knight Order and a Half-Step Supreme Realm expert, his willpower is not something that Qin Fang can shake with a few words… Although his strike missed, this doesn't disappoint Allen, he merely snorted coldly, then prepared to step into the Hexagram Array.

"Since you seek death… then I'll fulfill your wish!"

Allen is a Half-Step Supreme Realm expert, although he hasn't formed a Supreme Gang Body yet, nor does he have a Gangqi Territory… his body defense is almost infinitely close to the Supreme Gang Body, and the divine strength he exudes with each strike is nearly comparable to a martial artist with complete Gangqi.

Dragon Country's Warrior, even if their realm has reached the Great Grandmaster Level Peak… but there are still certain differences among each other, mainly in the degree of Gangqi refinement.

Stepping into the Great Grandmaster Level allows one to refine the first trace of Gangqi, mainly used to gather protective Gangqi for oneself…

Gradually increasing strength, the True Qi within also continues to convert into Gangqi…

When more than eighty percent of one's True Qi has transformed into Gangqi, it means stepping into the Great Grandmaster Level Peak… Just as long as all the True Qi in the body is completely transformed into Gangqi, it is considered complete and reaching Gangqi perfection.

At this point, it is actually like having one foot into the Supreme Realm… The only lack is that final step, which is to instantly gather all Gangqi within the body and maintain it without dispersal!

If the Gangqi gathers within the body without dispersing, it will quickly integrate into every cell… This is the process of Supreme Gang Qi formation; once completed, one formally enters the Supreme Realm.

Of course, before stepping into the Supreme Realm, the realm of complete Gangqi is the legendary Half-Step Supreme Realm…

Not yet Supreme Realm, but infinitely close to Supreme!

Except for the absence of the Supreme Gang Body formation, the attack power unleashed almost completely matches that of Paramount Experts…

Correspondingly, Peak Grandmaster-level Expert, even if their True Qi conversion rate is 99.99%, if they still lack a tiny bit, they cannot achieve this qualitative change… The strength naturally falls short.

Qin Fang, although he claims unmatched below the Supreme Realm, actually has only about 30% True Qi conversion rate, just entering the Grandmaster Mid-Stage…

The reason his strength is terrifying, besides his strange and formidable secret technique, is the overwhelming elemental energy within him, offsetting the strength deficiency brought by insufficient True Qi conversion rate!

Yet even so, Qin Fang's true strength is merely equivalent to that of 99.99% True Qi conversion rate… Always just a bit short, unable to achieve qualitative change, hence his strength is truly less than Allen's, a Half-Step Supreme Realm expert.

"I fear you not…"

Qin Fang snorted coldly, although vigilant at heart, he didn't exactly fear Allen, the Half-Step Supreme Realm expert… In fact, Qin Fang quite looks forward to battling a Half-Step Supreme Realm expert.

"Perhaps this battle might let me break through…"

Qin Fang's strength has always advanced rapidly, but now he's gradually hitting a bottleneck, wanting to break through, normal methods are no longer enough; only extremely perilous life-and-death struggles present such opportunities.

Especially this kind of battle where the strength gap isn't too vast, proves most effective!

Against Grandmaster-level experts, Qin Fang sweeps opponents with overwhelming might!

Against Supreme Realm experts, Qin Fang is forcibly overwhelmed by others…

Half-Step Supreme Realm experts… seem to fall right between the two, of course, making them optimal.

"Kill!"

Facing such an opponent, Qin Fang doesn't wait for him to enter the Hexagram Array, but directly forces away the Golden Knight with a sword, then charges outside the Hexagram Array!

A truly grand battle requires a suitable venue… In a confined space, neither Qin Fang nor Allen can fully exert their strength!

"Kill!"

Seeing Qin Fang attempt to break the formation, ten Golden Knights also yelled, vigorously revolving the divine strength within them… A weirdly powerful force instantly stirred up, putting immense pressure on Qin Fang.

It felt like an invisible hand in the background pulling Qin Fang's body backwards, clearly just a step or two from crossing out, yet he couldn't succeed, instead continuing to retreat.

The Hexagram Array's peculiar force conversion system is quite detrimental to Qin Fang!

"Ignorant of life and death…"

Qin Fang is thoroughly infuriated… Rapidly glancing at these Golden Knights, his eyes are clearly brimming with killing intent.

"Wolf brother, leave these people to you..."

He wasn't truly alone; as he extended his arm, a shadow shot forth, charging with incredible speed...

Pop~~

Violent strength surged, instantly breaking through the eerie power of the Hexagram Array... Meanwhile, Qin Fang calmly emerged from the formation, but the shadow remained within.

The Split Wind Wolf King made its move!

Although it hadn't fully restored its power, after the battle at Rose Manor, the Split Wind Wolf King was well-fed and had regained about seventy to eighty percent of its strength... barely equivalent to a Half-Step Supreme Realm human martial artist.

Of course, accounting for its terrifying speed, its threat level rivaled that of a Paramount Expert...

However, its opponents weren't evenly matched with it like the deputy leader of the Golden Knight Order, Half-Step Supreme Expert Allen, or Smith, but rather those ten Golden Knights depending on the Hexagram Array to barely contend against Qin Fang!

"Your opponent is me..."

Qin Fang, naturally, wasn't idle either.

Upon the appearance of the Split Wind Wolf King, Allen's expression shifted drastically; sensing the wolf's menace, he immediately attempted to join the Hexagram Array to intercept or even kill the Split Wind Wolf King!

But Qin Fang wouldn't let him get his way; with a swift movement, a fearsome Sword Intent directly assaulted Deputy Leader Allen...

"Damn it!"

As soon as Qin Fang attacked, Allen sensed it and had to quickly dodge the sword, retreating... only able to helplessly watch as the Split Wind Wolf King charged at his ten subordinates in the Hexagram Array.

With a casual strike, the Split Wind Wolf King could break the Divine Power constraints of the Hexagram Array... this displayed its strength, far exceeding the capabilities of those ten Golden Knights. How could Allen endure watching his subordinates be slain one by one by the Split Wind Wolf King?

However...

Thunk thunk thunk~~~

Qin Fang was much more troublesome than he imagined, even more cunning!

Earlier, Allen was called "despicable" by Qin Fang, yet in a short span, Allen had retaliated at least ten times... each time he tried to approach the Hexagram Array, Qin Fang would obstruct him relentlessly.

Sword Qi and Sword Intent were minor issues...

Qin Fang even continuously tossed venomous insects and poisonous items at Allen... though these weren't particularly threatening to him, getting hit would still be quite troublesome.

Especially under Qin Fang's vigilant gaze, it became rather dangerous.

"Your opponent is me, better not worry about your subordinates..."

Qin Fang's actions weren't aimed at killing Allen, understanding that these wouldn't succeed in killing him... he merely wanted to lure Allen away, settling in a spacious area for a proper battle!

"Argh~~ I'm furious!"

Allen finally got completely enraged by Qin Fang's shameless tactics.

He truly stopped worrying about his subordinates; the Split Wind Wolf King was still adjusting within the Hexagram Array, needing time to poison those ten Golden Knights...

"I'll kill you!"

Allen planned to use this time to eliminate the obstructive Qin Fang, then aid his Golden Knight subordinates against the remarkably strong and nearly monstrous Demon Beast, Split Wind Wolf King.

Buzz~~

Allen, being a Half-Step Supreme Expert, struck with undeniable menace.

An extraordinarily eerie yet robust Divine Force emerged from him, fiercely targeting Qin Fang... unlike the Gang Qi of Dragon Nation's Warriors, this force was nearly invisible and intangible.

Clearly sensing its presence, yet it's impossible to grasp...

"No problem!"

Fortunately, Qin Fang had previously clashed with Golden Knights, aware of the oddities of such Divine Force, thus remaining vigilant... wielding the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword fiercely in response!

Ding~~

Unlike previous sword clashes...

Allen's Divine Force was sharper, more enigmatic, impacting the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword with only a faint sound, then astonishingly passing through the sword, directly aiming at Qin Fang's body.

"What an uncanny power..."

Qin Fang was jolted by the eerie Divine Force, muttering to himself. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users should visit m.qidian.com to read.)
