Chapter 565: Flying Knife
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Wang Zheng wouldn’t have known that someone was giving him free publicity.
The Wings of Seraph had extended his sword posture slowly and was getting ready!
One could tell he was getting serious with this starting posture. Wang Zheng still stood there quietly. After all, he would have to let the other party have a great time attacking him. In this case, the opponent wouldn’t be asking him for compensation after he retaliated.
The eyes of the Wings of Seraph had squeezed into a line. This person was too arrogant.
Kill!
Ta ta ta ta ta ta...
The Wings of Seraph was charging towards Wang Zheng at high speed. Instantly, the long sword in his head exploded with flashes of light that filled the sky and covered Wang Zheng. This was Wings of Seraph’s unique Octaslash!
Once he was in a direct confrontation with the opponent, the opponent would be slashed to pieces without time to respond.
However, Wang Zheng was able to avoid the opponent’s follow up slashes with his stable steps backwards. There was enough space. No matter how fast the sword might be, it would have to connect. Wang Zheng was able to dominate the fight through his footwork.
However, the Wings of Seraph did not allow Wang Zheng to escape. As he maintained his attacks, his footwork was also rather skilled. There were many people who focused only on attacking the upper body and would launch an all-out attack. This would result in them not defending their lower body or even just not defending it properly. In the face of a pro, they would be full of openings. However, the Wings of Seraph wasn’t the same. After releasing the explosive attack, Octaslash, his footsteps weren’t careless. He walked as the sword moved. Weng...
A flash of light from the sword swept past...
Piercing Slash!
This was a strong Piercing Slash that was under the full effects of the Cultivation Technique. Instantly, In an instant, a cold flash of light lanced past. Wang Zheng moved his head aside and avoided this attack. However, he was a little slow and the Wings of Seraph was already in killing positon.
Everyone had not expected that the Wings of Seraph could use the Piecing Slash. This was a high speed slashing move that could cut open air after one had mastered their Cultivation Technique to a certain level. It was also popular within the Acolytes’ level.
Wang Zheng was a little slow and this allowed the Wings of Seraph’s Octaslash to cover Wang Zheng. The proudest aspect of his killer move was that he was faster than others.
Weng... Weng Weng Weng Weng...
A vicious assault of mad slashes...
The sky was filled with flashes of the sword. However, Wang Zheng was still standing at the original spot without any injuries after the last sword had ended.
—- Swaying Steps!
Using the legs as pivot, the upper body would drift erratically while the legs would remain stationary. One would rely on just one breadth to avoid the attacks.
In the World of Saints, Cultivation Techniques wouldn’t be a problem. This was because no matter how one’s progress was, one could still practise it and use it in the end. However, there were some battle techniques such as the Swaying Steps that couldn’t be mastered even if one wished. Any misuses would be equivalent to “Courting Death Steps”.
What a perfect use of Swaying Steps in practical combat! This was also the first time many people had seen it. With a roar, he suddenly charged ahead for the kill.
Wang Zheng smiled gently. It was time to send off the guest!
Everyone started discussing it. The Wings of Seraph could feel that his face was burning a little. It was the first time a person without a weapon had avoided all his attacks. If this was to spread, he would be able to face others.
This attack was too profound. The move would be deformed with a slight turbulence in one’s emotion. This wouldn’t be possible.
The sword went passed by the side of the shoulders. With a strike of With Wang Zheng’s Black Tiger Heartseeking Strike, the face of the Wings of Seraph turned pale immediately and he fainted immediately.
One hundred thousand was now his.
Tentacle looked on quietly. He was the initiator of this. Wang Zheng winning one or two matches was within his expectation. However, this would only prolong his misery. It might be better if this ended earlier.
The Octaslash of the Wings of Seraph was rather renowned in the Acolytes’ level. It had at least awoken those who had been dreaming of trying to profit in confusion. However, this had no benefits for Wang Zheng. After all, his main aim was to earn money and was only afraid to scare away everyone. However, he had overestimated himself and underestimated the guts of the people in the Acolytes’ level. What was more important was that it only cost a hundred thousand for a match. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Therefore, when Wang Zheng started the second life and death match, the number of participants had increased by a fold. Wang Zheng was also too lazy to look at it and leave it to chance for who would be facing him.
When the opponent appeared, the colosseum went silent. It was followed by people whispering. They had not thought that he would be here.
Wang Zheng had not thought that his opponent would be a girl. There were quite a number of girls in the World of Saints. However Wang Zheng had always thought that the idea of fighting and killing were more of a men’s thing.
Luo Yuling. She had a nickname and that was the No.1 Flying Knife of the Acolytes’ level. Her Cultivation Technique was the 16 Point Blade Technique but her Flying Knife was able to cause others to shrink back at the sight of it. Even those who were from the Saints’ level weren’t able to gain the upper hand against it.
There were many weapons in the Acolytes’ level. One could even forge one themself and could even be rewarded if they come out with an extremely destructive set of moves.
Luo Yuling didn’t really have a set of moves. Her flying knives were just fast and accurate. Obviously, these were the basics. Her control over the right time to use it and awe were also very important.
When he saw Luo Yuling, Wang Zheng knew he met his match.
Luo Yuling looked at Wang Zheng’s black mask. “You have just entered the Acolytes’ level and your Cultivation Technique isn’t stable yet. I will give you 2 choices, to either competing with wits or martial arts. Competing with wits would be more suitable for you.”
Wang Zheng stayed close to the principle of “Customers were the biggest” and said,” Let’s go with competing with wits then.”
“Alright, let’s compete with flying knives then. Everyone would get 10 knives and would only count if it hits the bullseye. How about that?”
Luo Yuling said. At the same time, she opened up her own system without giving Wang Zheng a chance to say no. 2 targets appeared on the battle arena.
“This woman was too smart to use this move!”
“It was true that it would be hard to be with women and scheming people. This was too ruthless. Her flying knives could be considered to be the best. She must have been afraid of the opponent’s Swaying Step!”
“She also had to get the approval from Charcoal.”
Wang Zheng wasn’t saying anything. He nodded his head and said, “Let’s go with what you had said then. What if it ended up as a draw?”
Luo Yuling took a look at Wang Zheng and said, “You are a man and even had the opportunity to go through the trial to become a Saint. What do you think we should do then?”
Wang Zheng wanted to rub his nose but then realized he was wearing a mask. “Alright, it would be considered as your win if it was a draw.”
He was a man after all. It wasn’t an unreasonable request from a girl.
Instantly, the spectators were seethed with excitement. What was this brat doing? It was a classic case of courting his own death.
No one wouldn’t know that Luo Yuling was known for never missing. Tentacle’s heart also missed a beat. It was because of him after all. Deep inside him, he was hoping that it would end soon but was also hoping that Charcoal could create miracles. However, no one would be able to always continue winning in life and death matches.
No one could.
“30 metres.” Luo Yuling wasn’t intending to negotiate with her opponent. This opportunity to go through trial to become a Saint had now belonged to her.
Wang Zheng nodded. Seeing that the opponent agreed so readily, Luo Yuling was feeling a little embarrassed. “I know that you need money. Even if I win, I would give you a million dollars.”
Wang Zheng smiled and replied, “I might not lose.”
The two targets were lined up neatly. This was the flying knives trial of the Acolytes’ level. One had to make a move within 10 seconds and the victory would be determined in 10 knives.
What could be confirmed was that this brat named Charcoal had never done a flying knives trial. Everyone didn’t know where his confidence came from.
The spectators had finally understood. This person was crazy and wasn’t here to get himself ready for more responsibilities. He was simply here to court his own demise.
From the very start, he had allowed the Wings of Seraph to slash at him in a mad barrage. Now he had casually accepted the flying knives challenge. This was simply equivalent to... smashing a pot to pieces just because it had a crack!
This was because the record for the flying knives trial was set by this Luo Yuling.
What could be confirmed was that Luo Yuling would definitely not miss. Even if this Charcoal was the greatest talent in flying knives, he would only get a draw at best. However, a draw would be a loss!
This trial didn’t exclude one from attacking the opponent. However, those who were good with throwing knives must have been absolutely calm. Otherwise, they would be playing this too.
If it was a direct confrontation, the victor might be hard to be determined. However with the current situation, it was over. However, this Charcoal seemed not able to see it.
Luo Fei continued watching quietly. Lear had said that either he would go without food for 3 days or he could only eat if Wang Zheng lost and had lost everything.
Truthfully speaking, Luo Fei would rather go without food for 3 days. However, this Wang Zheng wasn’t wise at all. Luo Yuling was absolutely great with her flying knives and was also a significant person on the Boss’ list of people. The crucial thing was that he felt that the once all-powerful IG Captain of the Solar System and the leader that led them to create various miracles seemed to have... fallen.
