Chapter 49- Perilous Situation

Nonetheless, this was just the start, Yang Chen did not give any moment of respite to his enemy, and attacked relentlessly. He threw one attack after another and constantly caused them to be on a back foot.

[Flame slash], [Eight Fold Split] all sorts of battle skills flew towards Zhang Zhan, but like a tenacious fool, the latter doggedly held on. Their body couldn't be said to be in a good condition as they were severely burnt and wounded but they were still standing.

"Finish him off quickly, you cannot dilly dally any longer" Amon urged, his voice urgent.

"I know" Yang Chen argued back, he had been trying to kill his enemy from the start, it was not like he was going easy. He even used the most powerful battle skill that he currently knew, the [Eight split fold] yet the elder was extremely obstinate and refused to fall down no matter what.

Now that it has come to this, he could only try this. Although it was extremely dangerous and in his current condition trying something new was extremely foolish, but currently it was the only thing that had the power to kill his opponent.

Yang Chen sheathed his sword and took the most basic stance of swordplay. He closed his eyes and gathered every last bit of battle energy within him.

As if willed by an unknown force, all of his energy flowed towards his sword and a faint buzzing noise started to emit out. At that moment, the air became heavy and an unknown pressure descended onto the place.

Feeling the changes, Zhang Zhan's face turned pale and he hurriedly cried out "What are you all standing there gawking for you fools, quickly attack this brat. Do not allow him to complete whatever he is trying to do".

The nine members of the Zhang clan who have been watching the scene unfold like fools, finally snapped from their daze and quickly attacked Yang Chen on his command.

Various battle skills flew at him and was just about to hit him when Yang Chen who was maintaining a peculiar stance, opened his eyes.

[Wild Revolution Steps]... leaving behind an afterimage that took all of the attacks in his stead, he disappeared from their sight.

"What where did he go?" the members from the Zhang clan were all left gobsmacked by that speed. The only one who could follow that movement was perhaps only a battle master like Zhang Zhan but even he was rendered powerless to stop what came next.

After activating the [Wild Revolution step] Yang Chen appeared behind Zhang Zhan.

'Simultaneous activation… [Flame Slash], [Eight Fold Split]:- [Eight Fold Flame Split]' silently muttering in his heart, he drew the sword from its sheath with all his remaining battle enrgy.

BAM… Flames burst out of the Flame Expelling Blade and formed six sword slashes that struck towards Zhang Zhan simultaneously.

The latter feeling the danger to his life hurriedly turned around, instinctively extended his arms and used his battle energy to shield him.

Eight Fold Split, it was a Mid Tier Earth Grade battle skill while the [Flame Slash] was the weapon ability of his two star sword. Both the skill and the ability were extremely powerful and could easily split an iron in half, so imagine what would happen if both the skills were activated simultaneously.

The two skills overlapped and produced a result that Yang Chen wondered about for quite some time in his mind.

It produced a whole new battle skill that was not even in the archives of the system. [Eight Fold Flame Split]... it was a battle skill invented by activating two skills at once, its power wasn't as simple as adding two skills at once.

It was more like the power of the skill had tripled or even quadrupled at once. Breaking through the restraints of the earth grade, the skill can be said to have reached the grade above.

There was no way a simple energy barrier could block this skill. CRACK… in front of the horrified face of zhang zhan, the barrier he erected broke apart in an instant unable to stop the skill even for a second.

SHIIING… SHIIING… SHIIING… six fiery sword slashes passed through his body cutting him in six unequal pieces.

Blood and gore sprayed out like a fountain and the scene was an extremely gruesome sight to see. The [Eight Fold Flame Split] was simply too powerful, even the body of a Battle Master class practitioner, which is said to be as strong as steel, was unable to bear the brunt of its power.

The nine remaining people who were just ordinary members of the Zhang clan wore ghastly pale expressions as they saw the face of the demon covered in the blood of their elder.

Even someone as strong as the sixth elder was killed by him and that too so horrifically. Just remembering the sight made them piss their pants and tremble in fear in front of this crazy demon.

Forget about dealing with him next, they did not even want to see him, all they could think about was how to run away from here.

THUD… they were just thinking that, when they saw the demon who appeared to be the incarnation of an asura fall down face first on the ground suddenly.

The members of the Zhang clan were stunned, they did not know what they should do right now.

"T-This… has he fainted? He must have fainted, this is a chance"

"Let's kill him"…

"R-Right… he may be powerful but he must have suffered some great injuries while fighting elder Zhang Zhan. This is our only chance to kill him"…

"Then who will go and kill him?"…

"You go"…

"Why should I go? You proposed the idea, you should go and kill him" The nine people quarrelled. Since they couldn't see Yang Chen's face as he was lying face first, they cannot ascertain if he had really fainted or not.

"Shut up you cowards. The enemy has clearly fainted or else he would have gotten up by now. If nobody wants to go and kill him, I will go and take this achievement" an Eight Star Battle Apprentice among the group spoke and stepped forward.
