"That’s right." Duren Burg smiled while he walked in as he shook his head. "I’ve also read the stories written by some scribblers who called themselves traveling poets. Those stories made me feel like laughing a lot. How could there be villains as silly as them? Have those traveling poets encountered such the drama they write about in their own lives?"

Fanta Kunge leaned against the wall and kept shaking his head. "You don’t understand. Having acted as the sc.u.m for long, they feel like they really achieved something big. They haven"t told anyone their accomplishments, thus they want to boast to their opponents about their cleverness and…"

"Power…"

Amidst the dust, Rafal emerged slowly and glimpsed at Qian Jin and his friends with a sneer. He kept saying the same word, "Power…"

Lucifer Lucy turned back to look at Qian Jin who was standing somewhere not far behind and said in a complaining tone as her expression looked vicious: "It doesn’t work. He is dressed in Dark Demon Armor."

What was Dark Demon Armor? Legends said that it was one of the complementary suits to the Saint Item Set possessed by the Lucifer Royal Family, which possessed an incredible might. While the power gathered in the Saint Item would ascend with the increase of the demon’s strength, whoever put the suits on will have his strength increased.

It was said that by wearing Dark Demon Helmet, the demon could see through all fighting techniques. With Dark Demon s.h.i.+eld, the demon could defend against all warrior power used by the enemy. Dark Demon Armor protected against all magic spells. Dark Demon s.h.i.+n Pads proved to have grate the demon warrior the fastest speed in the world, while with Dark Demon Wings, one would be able to teleport for short distances.

This was the invincible Dark Demon Set of the Demons with which one could become the strongest Demon Warrior in the world.

Of course, there were only three Saint Item Sets of this type respectively held by the three ultimate bloodline families in the Demon Empire. Such was also the case in the Zence Empire, where the three Saint Item Sets were possessed by the three ultimate bloodline warrior families.

For ages, every family insisted that their set was the strongest. However, none of them could defeat the other as long as they put their sets on.

It wasn"t until later they were deprived of the opportunity of competing with each other. As of the present day, none of them held a complete; there were one or more parts missing due to different reasons.

Dark Demon Armor and Dark Demon s.h.i.+n Pads were the missing parts in the Dark Demon Set.

As a highly renowned set, the Dark Demon Set was known to nearly every household, even including a three-year-old baby who was able to read a picture-story book, let alone Qian Jin, a fast-growing promising warrior.

Standing silently, Rafal raised his chin slightly and looked at Qian Jin with a lofty and vicious look. He thought of his leg, which was lost due to Qian Jin’s shot on the heel. Only by killing this bloke would he let go of this hatred.

Qian Jin looked Rafal up and down, but he couldn’t find where the Dark Demon Armor was. The legendary Saint Item Set proved its greatness.

"Aren’t you Qian Jin?" Rafal chuckled. "Your archery skills are quite incredible. But you keep a bad habit of targeting others’ chest. What about…"

Rafal lifted his hand and clapped his head, "Shooting here."

"I see…"

Then he shot another arrow before finis.h.i.+ng saying the sentence.

An arrow was shot at a lightning speed without any prior warning. Rafal panted harshly as sweat covered his forehead while his left ear was bleeding incessantly.

One shot. Even with the help of the Dark Demon Armor, Rafal reached the highest speed the Blood Bat Demons could reach, but still, he lost one ear when was trying to escape Qian Jin’s shot.

The Blood Bat Demons were famous for their hearing and smelling abilities. But today, a member lost an ear? What a joke!

After shooting the first arrow, Qian Jin didn’t linger one moment but thumped on the ground to activate his Level 5 Demon Capturer warrior power. With the help of the Warrior Heart, he reached a rotating speed of more than thirty thousand cycles. Moving in the air, he appeared just like a fast moving train, producing a continuous cracking sound in the entire hall. Within a minute, the strikes of Dividing Metal Multi-Chops came upon Rafal’s head.

"Stop wasting time. It’s a life-or-death fight." Duren Burg flung his spear, with which his Hydra Bloodline Warrior Body was activated. Laying his fair and tender arm along the spear, he said, "My turn."

Carrying the streamlined saber that Qian Jin procured from Lucifer Nihan, Cech Flet the Fallen Angel Bloodline Warrior gazed at Rafal coldly. From his right eye which was covered by his dropping fringe, a sign of murderous spirit became faintly visible.

Fury Lotus Fighting Technique. Qian Jin thumped on the ground hard several times, causing all mutated flowers and plants to defoliate with his warrior power. Echoed with a war drum sound, the strong thrust pushed him into the face of Rafal.

With a move of the Fury Lotus Fighting Technique, Qian Jin rushed towards Rafal, carrying with him a great force, and then perform some moves of the Dividing Metal Multi-chops. "Now that you have the armor s.h.i.+elding your body, I"ll chop your head!" He shouted.

A precise attack without sophistication came directly at Rafal’s head in a simple and determined way.

How strong would the impact force be with an acceleration of 30 meters per second? A man-at-arms dressed in heavy and stiff armor was as vulnerable as a piece of wood in front of Qian Jin. Qian Jin was now like a heavy armored elephant that got cast a Berserk Magic Spell by Mage Shaman of the Barbarians.

Strong force exploded in the air, triggering a thunderclap-like sound as if a fast moving train had approached. With a single chop from Qian Jin, there rose a heavy gust of wind, cutting and sending Rafal’s golden hair flying in all directions. Even the sand on the ground was separated into two sides by this strong chop.

Qian Jin wasn’t necessarily required to chop at Rafal’s head as the excess power of this chop was enough to force Rafal’s head to shrink down to his belly.

How could he be as atrocious as this? The muscle around Lucifer Lucy’s twitched fiercely as she clearly recognized that it would be impossible for her to escape from this chop if she was targeted and would die on the spot. How could she take revenge for herself on such a mighty opponent?

Rafal narrowed his eyes with excitement. Instead of avoiding Qian Jin’s attack, he lifted his arms that reflected faint metallic l.u.s.ter, as if they were made of metal. He then wielded these two golden arms against Qian Jin.

"Dark Steel Palm Strikes?" Lucifer Lucy screamed out loud. "The elder prince has taught you the secret Dark Steel Palm Strikes that is exclusively inherited by Lucifer Royal Family to you?"

Bang! The moment their arms collided with each other, a sharp jolting occurred in the hall and the entire cavern seemed to have trembled too. Rafal quivered and halted his tilting body, feeling desperately shocked. "Although I haven’t reached the peak of Dark Steel Palm Strikes, my Dark Steel Palm Strikes is already powerful enough to smash stones into pieces while my arms can be used as a real weapon. Why haven’t his arms fractured? Didn"t he just break them several days ago?" Rafal thought.

After performing a move of the Dividing Metal Multi-chops, Qian Jin was still in a p.r.o.ne posture as his two arms trembled slightly. "Dark Steel Palm Strikes? The legendary fighting technique of absorbing gold metal essence from Dark Steel? Although not a type of warrior power training scroll, it still presented a powerful force. Had he reached the peak of Dark Steel Palm Strikes?" Qian Jin kept wondering.

With the Dark Demon Armor worn on his body, Rafal felt that he possessed unconquerable warrior power and strength. All of a sudden, he swung his waist, poked out his resting hands, and aimed his fists at Qian Jin’s chest. "I"ll show you the secret move of my Dark Steel Palm Strikes, Crack Mountain!" Rafal thought.

"So fast." The muscles around Lucifer Lucy’s eye corners kept cramping, feeling unbelievable that Rafal had also mastered this technique.

During the past years, Rafal had been behaving as an underdog, humble and docile, thus having acc.u.mulated a strong sense of hatred. Now with the Dark Demon Armor, he grew an overwhelming confidence and infused all his grievance into the fighting technique to overcome a battle which he hadn’t ever come across before. He performed each move as fast as a lightning, and he clenched his fists loudly as he released every strike as quick as a meteor. The distance between him and Qian Jin was to be closed with the move of his palm.

Even a Level 9 Demon Capturer would be severely hurt by this strike. The support of the Dark Demon Armor had changed Rafal into the strongest Demon Capturer.

Qian Jin felt that the air floating around him was about to be pumped by this move. Never had he encountered such a powerful enemy since he set foot on his warrior’s path. His eyes twinkled with sheer excitement. Escape? There wasn’t such a word in Qian Jin’s dictionary, neither "retreat". The entire chapter of Qian Jin’s life was written with "moving forward", "forward", and "forward".

At this crucial moment, Qian Jin pressed his hands and buckled inward to protrude the elbows that were as edgy as a buffalo’s horn. He used such a move to thrust at Rafal’s fists in the way a buffalo swung its horns to unleash an attack.

In a blink, with the performing of the Land Tearing Chop from his elbows, Qian Jin transformed into a staunch buffalo that yielded its horns to p.r.i.c.k the enemy’s belly.

"What fighting technique is this? How could it be coupled with the move of Buffalo Horns Strikes from the Beast Fighting Technique?"

Rafal couldn’t stop his heart from beating fiercely. This young man not only possessed vast amounts of warrior power but incredible fighting techniques as well! All of a sudden, Rafal held up his fists, poked his forefingers out with both hands as if a nail was thumped by a hammer, and stabbed at Qian Jin’s elbow.

[Nail Through Stone] was the most powerful move of the Dark Steel Palm Strikes.

Their wrestling changed from a battle of brutal force into a race of subtleness in skills within a short distance.

The new type of battle didn"t involve escaping or dodging the collision of warrior power and wasn"t accompanied by harsh howling. Yet it became one hundred times more fierce and appalling than chopping each other with a blade.

"What an interminable nuisance."

All of a sudden, Rafal voiced a growl. Then his warrior power ascended and seemed to shake off his body to break through the present Level 9 Demon Capturer"s realm and rise up to that of a Level 1 Demon Slayer.

Though breaking through a realm for a bloodline warrior wasn"t as difficult as it was for an ordinary warrior, it called for some time of focused practice. Unless you were a top genius among all bloodline warriors, it wouldn"t be possible to concentrate and form the Warrior Heart during a fight.

Rafal wasn"t a top genius. Already in his thirties, he had only reached a Level 9 Demon Fighter which was the same as Lucifer Lucy.

Although he was not a genius, with the help of the Dark Demon Armor to activate his power, Rafal eventually burst out.

Just as Rafal uttered a husky growl, Qian Jin raised his and unleashed all of his might at this moment as well.
