Chapter 105: Fourth Sense Chi User

Kristian rode his white warhorse at a dizzying pace, his blue and white noble garments snapping under the gusts of wind.

Facing him, the disorganized ranks of the Elemental House of Fire desperately tried to impose a barrier of flames to slow the advance of the Spring cavalry. Kal BlackFire, propelled to the head of his clan after the assassination of his father Wade, was screaming hysterical orders at his men.

Kristian used his advanced technique to inject his Chi directly into the muscular mass of his mount, multiplying the power of its hooves.

The white horse emitted a resounding neigh, its eyes shining with a bluish glow as it doubled its speed, crossing the ranks of smoke.

“Leave no one to escape! Neutralize them, or if they resist…”

In front of Kris, three Second Sense Fire Chi users projected themselves forward. Without even slowing his mount, he drew his two swords in a symmetrical and perfect motion. With a simple twist of his wrists, he released a discharge of cutting Chi at a distance.

The wave sliced through the air and cleanly cut the three. The entrails and scarlet blood gushed onto the ground as the two halves of the bodies collapsed into the dust.

“Kill them!” roared Kristian, pointing his blade toward the heart of the enemy formation.

“Affirmative, young master!” answered in chorus the five hundred knights of the Sword Clan, completely galvanized by the demonstration of strength of their heir.

Without a second of waiting, all rushed toward their opponents.

In just a few hours, their young master had led them to the very heart of the battle while being in the front rank, all while perfectly commanding his troops.

By strategically adjusting the squadrons that even avoided the minimal losses within the House of Spring.

While himself being a non-negligible factor that crushed everything in his path. He had even humiliated the young master Kal, making him flee like a little piece of shit.

In a word, Kristian had led his men, yet in clear numerical inferiority against the gathered forces of the House of Fire, to a crushing victory.

“Kal thinks he can flee like a dog, after attacking us!?” spat Kristian.

“Protect Lord Kal in his retreat!” shouted the personal guards of the Fire chief.

Kristian fixed the silhouette of the fugitive with contempt.

“It would be futile,” he murmured.

In a maneuver that left his own soldiers stunned, Kristian released the reins and stood up on the saddle of his white warhorse as the animal galloped at full speed. His Chi stabilized his balance in a supernatural manner.

Kal, casting a glance back over his shoulder, saw the heir of the Sword Clan approaching him inexorably.

“Fuck, this madman doesn’t want to let me go!”

Arriving at about fifty meters from the enemy mount, Kristian flexed his knees and jumped into the air. His body sliced through the atmosphere with a staggering velocity…

“Useless to resist, Elemental House of Fire, my victory is already at one hundred percent,” declared Kristian.

And under the astonished eyes of everyone, Kristian crossed the distance in an instant.

Seizing the reins of Kal’s horse while pivoting with a deadly grace in the air, he gave him a violent kick square in the thorax, ejecting him brutally from his saddle. Kal flew several meters before going to bite the dust violently in a crack of broken ribs.

Without even touching the ground, Kristian wrapped his bare arms around the neck of the black warhorse in full stride and, with a brute physical twist, broke the warhorse’s neck with his bare hands to stop it in its course. The heavy war beast collapsed on the spot, sliding into the earth in a dull impact that raised a thick cloud of dust.

“How… how is this possible!?” stammered the last Fire guards, completely paralyzed by the scene.

For most of them, they had never seen something like that on the battlefield because these were not tricks using Chi. The way it had been done, without the slightest hesitation, with fluid and precise actions, only meant that it was not the first time he was doing it. Pure experience…

‘And how can a nineteen-year-old kid do this kind of thing?’

Everyone, as well as Kal who was terrified to the marrow, was wondering the same thing. The latter stood up with difficulty, spitting blood.

“Kristian! Don’t be a fool, getting involved in the affairs of the Magic Clan, you’re going to pay dearly for it!” shouted Kal while staggering.

Kristian advanced toward him with a slow step.

“Calm down, Lord Kal,” answered Kristian in a voice devoid of any emotion. “I don’t give a damn about your quarrels for the domination of your clan. Just tell me where the heir of the Spear Clan is?”

Kal recoiled precipitously, tripping over his own feet.

“Don’t come closer… Don’t come closer, fuck!!”

Kristian looked at him with a contemptuous air. Kal was in his late twenties and was almost pissing himself with fear in front of him? Needless to say that he was not a warrior at all, even if he was a Third Sense Chi User. He was only a pathetic spoiled son incapable of facing a fight to the death.

‘This will be easier, I won’t need to torture him…’

“If you don’t answer me quickly, I can be quite impulsive,” warned Kristian.

Kristian took a step then suddenly appeared in front of Kal. In a fraction of a second, his body crossed the distance and just as he was about to seize him by the throat.

Kristian suddenly tilted his head to the side and caught the javelin that was aimed at his head.

Kristian slowly turned his blue eyes toward the direction of the attack.

Suddenly the temperature in the zone increased rapidly, climbing by several dozen degrees in a fraction of a second. The tall grass of the plains dried instantly, yellowing before spontaneously catching fire.

“A Fourth Sense Chi User…” murmured Kristian.

His eyes of an icy blue observed the thermal undulations that distorted the horizon. Kal, sensing this familiar and overwhelming presence, let out a hysterical laugh.

“Thank you, uncle…” exclaimed Kal with a smile of relief.

A fraction of a second later, a meteor of flames at least five meters in diameter crashed down from the sky and struck the ground only a few meters from Kristian. The thermal shockwave swept the dust, burned the earth and projected shards of molten rock in all directions in a deafening crash.
