Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 581: Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline

“First battle with you? Interesting!”

Besip Gule jumped onto the battle platform and his grey long hair was fluttering in the wind. The thirst for battle could be seen in his eyes and he stared at Qian Jin who was slowly walking onto the platform.

Lucifer Lucy was very surprised by this arrangement. “How can this be? Qian Jin is powerful, but Besip Gule holds the second spot on the [Potential Saint List]! Some even say that he is now a Saint Warrior!” she thought.

“Aren’t you scared?” Besip Gule asked with curiosity in his eyes. All of the warriors he battled over the years were all nervous to face him, but this Jiliu Feijing in front of him today was excited.

Besip Gule had never encountered something so strange before. He observed Qian Jin and said, “If you can become a Saint Warrior, I will fight you. Now?”

He suddenly looked at Lucifer Serage and Demon King Lucifer and bowed. “I refuse to participate in this battle,” he said.

All the demons in the area were shocked. “What? This demon who is hungry for battles all the time gave up the opportunity? Is his head working? Is he really Besip Gule?”

Lucifer Serage looked at the other two princes with a proud expression on his face, and Demon King Lucifer even looked at him with a delighted expression. It was hard enough to recruit a mad demon like Besip Gule, but Lucifer Serage was able to let him give up a fight! Even the leader of the Besip Clan couldn’t do that!

“Crown Prince His Majesty told me that you are useful to him. I also heard that a demon beat up my dad using Warrior Weapons made by you and I need to thank you for that.” Besip Gule got close to Qian Jin and asked, “How about you make a set of Warrior Weapons for me as well? I can provide you with five-times the materials! The New Generation Competition is right around the corner, and I don’t want to lose to that trash Lucifer Stars!”

Qian Jin had to look at this demon with another pair of lenses! “It seemed like he is a brainless mad demon on paper, but he is actually intelligent! He showed his friendliness by letting me win, and he offered five-times the materials to show that he isn’t concerned with me charging the huge fee.”

“We can find a time,” Qian Jin nodded and said. “I will send the items your way; don’t worry. However, you need to send the materials to me ahead of time.”

“No problem!” Besip Gule turned around and walked off the platform as he said, “I trust you!”

“You are going to help him?” Duren Burg asked Qian Jin who just walked off the platform as well, “This mad demon…”

“Of course! Why not?” Qian Jin glanced at Eighth Prince Lucifer Stars and said, “If Besip Gule is really that powerful, the best outcome would be that he permanently damages this genius prince’s body using the items that I will make for him. If this prince who has the potential to achieve Ultimate Awakening is stopped, isn’t that a good thing?”

With five-times the materials, Qian Jin was confident that he could make more than one set of Warrior Weapons! If he wanted to leave some loopholes in the items he created, it was very easy. If he had to battle this Besip Gule in the future, the items that were powerful in the eyes of others would be like a time-bomb in the eyes of the creator.

“Jiliu Feijing! According to the rules of the competition, if you win because the other party surrendered, any participants could challenge you! Now, I challenge you to a battle!”

An arrogant voice sounded from the side of Seventh Prince Lucifer Zhengshi.

Warrick Lifeng! Qian Jin looked up at the challenger who looked like a human. Without looking at the pictures on the [Potential Saint List], he knew that this man was the Iron-Iron Mantis Bloodline Warrior Warrick Lifeng who joined the side of Lucifer Zhengshi at the age of 60.

“Bullying a kid?”

Duren Burg’s mocking laugh sounded and everyone in the building heard it.

Warrick Lifeng blushed.

Although there was no age limit in the competition and any retinues who the royal members recruited this year could participate; but the age of 60 was still… too rare.

The Royal Competition in front of the Demon King was the tradition that the first ever Demon King created and it was meant to test the performance of the royal members for the years. Therefore, only new retinues could participate.

Seventh Prince Lucifer Zhengshi used the loophole and found a warrior who was old enough to be Qian Jin’s grandparent. It was obvious that Seventh Prince was trying to cripple this new ordinary demon who was on the rise.

Lucifer Zhengshi replied back with a smile on his face, “If you met that old butcher Qian Zhanxuan on the Human-Demon Battlefront, try saying that to him! See if he will let you go! In a real battle, your enemies won’t care about your age! If you are so narrow-sighted and think that Jiliu Feijing shouldn’t be challenged by anyone older than him, I guess this battle doesn’t need to take place.”

“Such talking skill!” Zence Matten looked at Lucifer Zhengshi and thought, “This prince is a great speaker! Even though he was being laughed at, he could still maintain his calmness!”

The demons in the area nodded; although what Lucifer Zhengshi said was stretching it, it was still somewhat reasonable.

Qian Jin looked at Warrick Lifeng who was on the side of Lucifer Zhengshi with sadness in his eyes. The iron-willed Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline Warrior who brought pride and glory to the Zence Empire was now being the retinue of the demons!

“Ancestors of Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline! Are you seeing this from the stars? Do you see that your descendants threw away your honor and the glory?” Qian Jin thought.

“You are right,” Qian Jin said as he slowly walked back onto the platform. “Since Your Highness compared this competition to the battle on Human-Demon Battlefront, then I’m sure you won’t mind me killing this retinue of yours!”

“Kill?” the demons in the building were surprised. Although demons were killed in this competition every year, most of the participants would stop after defeating their opponents.

It was rare for a demon to have the aim of killing his or her opponent.

All the demons looked at Lucifer Zhengshi and waited for the reply.

“If Master Feijing is willing to be killed, feel free to treat this place as the Human-Demon Battlefront,” Lucifer Zhengshi smiled and shrugged.

“Great!” Qian Jin opened his Warrior Dimension and pulled out his Zhanmadao named Ji-Du; he hadn’t used it ever since he came to the Lucifer Empire.

Tink!

As the blade of the Zhanmadao hit the surface of the platform, he said, “I have never shown my real weapon yet! Don’t think that only Qian Jin could use a Zhanmadao! My skills are better than his!”

Zhanmadao! All the demons stared at the huge blade.

“It is heard that Qian Jin used Zhanmadao as his weapon, and it is heard that his blade spirit is vast as a river and gives his opponent the feeling that it couldn’t be stopped. Jiliu Feijing’s main weapon is also a Zhanmadao? Is it arrows or hammers?” they thought.

The Warrior Seal for Dividing Metal Multi-Chop flashed by and it broke down into Warrior Power and entered the body of the Zhanmadao. As lights shone on the blade, the blade spirit appeared on it; it felt like someone was already using Dividing Metal Multi-Chop.

This Bloodline Technique of the Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline was Qian Jin’s Soul Fighting Technique. The Warrior Seal for the first level of the technique was completed and the Warrior Seal for the second level called Break Water Rip Tides was almost complete as well.

Soul Fighting Techniques were even harder to practice and train compared to Saint-level Fighting Techniques; it required inspirations and deep understanding.

However, once the Warrior Seal for a Soul Fighting Technique was completed, its power would increase dramatically, and the restoration speed of the Warrior Seal was rapid as well.

Warrick Lifeng’s face changed color as soon as he sensed the spirit coming from Qian Jin. His body tensed up as he didn’t expect his opponent to be this powerful.

Dividing Metal Multi-Chop! Warrick Lifeng’s brows twitched as he couldn’t believe his eyes!

“Yeah! Dividing Metal Multi-Chop! Although he is using a Zhanmadao, the technique sequences couldn’t be wrong!” Warrick Lifeng wanted to back off subconsciously as he didn’t know how to face Qian Jin.

Besip Gule who was now sitting beside the Crown Prince sighed; anyone was able to sense the strong thirst for battle coming off of Qian Jin, and he was just disappointed that he couldn’t fight this ordinary demon warrior.

“Nice blade! Nice spirit!” Lucifer Zhengshi clapped. After that, he patted Warrick Lifeng’s shoulder and said, “Try your best and let us see a spectacular battle!”

“As you wish!”

Warrick Lifeng walked onto the platform. A grey color appeared in his eyes, and his hands that were above his head slowly came down. With two blades that were each one-meter long in his hands, his wrists twisted and made his arms look like the front legs of a mantis.

His Bloodline Power was instantly unleashed and his eyes immediately turned completely grey. A small black dot appeared in each of the grey eyes and acted as the pupils, and a pair of translucent wings appeared on his back.

The battle was about to begin! All the demons held onto their breaths and waited; they didn’t want to miss anything.

Thick and dark clouds had already covered the sun, and it felt like rain could fell front the sky at any moment.

Warrior Soul! A huge grey mantis appeared behind Warrick Lifeng, and its front legs were red; it felt like red blood could drip down from its front legs at any moment.
