Chapter 468: A Self-Destructive Counterattack

Translator: Udong_ Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong_

Inwardly, Bill sneered, "Oh you two stupid rookies! How dare you trespa.s.s into my kingdom in the darkness? Want hand-to-hand combat? No way... We, bandits, care about nothing except for efficiency! Prepare for my arrows!"

Puff… puff...

Hardly had the six bandits lifted the crossbows onto their shoulder when Qian Jin fished out seven throwing knives.

For a distance so close like this, a throwing knife was more sudden and faster than the crossbow. Not until the images of the flying knives disappeared in the bandit"s pupils had a b.l.o.o.d.y hole come into being between their eyebrows. The narrow blades, without any blood stains, inserted themselves into the wooden wall behind them after penetration.

Bill fell backward with his wrist s.h.i.+eld on the left arm raised to the chest. In his staring eyes, there was a throwing knife! He couldn"t believe what was happening! That young man was nothing but a rookie, which was the last thought that had crossed his mind.

Throwing knife? The eyelids of Tence Matten shuddered! Qian Jin was capable of that? It was more formidable than his shooting!

The bandits around were all stunned! Before they could react, Qian Jin flickered his wrist and a few knives were there in his hand! Suddenly fire magic elements were rolling and boiling in the hut.

What? Was there a mage? Qian Jin raised his eyebrows as a dozen pot-sized fireb.a.l.l.s came into being under the roof! Blown by the wind, the fireb.a.l.l.s crashed against the two trespa.s.sers at full speed!

"Back!"

Tence Matten shouted as he moved back. He was surprised and confused. More than often, mages were scarcely found among bandits. How could there be one of them in this unknown bandit base? Was this group stronger than it looked?

The red b.a.l.l.s struck the ground and dyed it with brilliant fire! Bandits woke up one after another from the shock as the temperature on this battlefield instantaneously surged! No one fled and all went straight after the two uninvited guests with weapons in hand!

They knew what the two youngsters were up to after so many years of fighting. They had only one way to go if they wanted to survive, which was to kill!

Fireb.a.l.l.s and wind knives kept coming out from the roof while Earth spikes quietly sprang out behind Tence Matten! The way in which it showed up was too strange that no one had sensed the magic elements it bore.

Bang! Being kicked into the air by the a.s.s, Tence Matten performed a somersault and tossed a bandit away. He turned around for the two-meters high Earth Spike. Was that his third elder brother? No... That"s impossible!

After Qian Jin kicked his partner away from the danger, he injected some Warrior Power into Zhanmadao, which immediately tore the black cloth apart and appeared on the scene as ferociously as it could!

The approaching bandits were all dumbfounded by the weapon! They had never seen such a blade!

After Tence Matten landed, he stood there and watched the towering Earth Spike blankly. A mage was most often spotted when he or she was casting a spell because there would be fluctuations of magic power, just like an archer, who would put himself in danger while pulling his bow.

Many mages had dedicated all their lives to solving this problem and they did work out a solution! Most of them would still need the help of other mages and certain special magic arrays while a few geniuses, who had obtained a perfect control over the elements, could make it work on their own.

It was no longer about the level that a mage was at! Sometimes an Ultimate Mage might not be able to do this but a mage student could! To a certain point, it was something unique to the talented mages.

Those talents could be counted using one"s fingers, including all the members of the Mage Union in the Zence Empire! And Zence Changkong happened to be one!

As the 3rd prince of the Zence royal family, Zence Changkong was an unadulterated Warrior and mage dual trainer! He was more than a master, no matter in magic or Warrior Power!

Earth Spike was the best practice of that man! There would not be any magic fluctuations nor the slightest murderous intent in the air! By using this special ability, Zence Changkong had been cited for his distinguished service on the Human-Demon Battlefront!

Rumor had it that he was the first choice of the throne!

"Was that him? No... " Tence Matten stared at the Earth Spike like a statue, as if he had forgotten that he was in the middle of a fight! "It can"t be him! It can"t be..."

Puff!

A bandit who had rushed to the front of Tence Matten was suddenly split into two halves! Warm blood spurted out on his body like a pot of cold water. The man was pulled out from his reverie as Zhanmadao rooted to the earth!

Qian Jin cast his weapon over from a long range. "You want to die?" He then raised his hand and destroyed a leather s.h.i.+eld with Land Tearing Chop! Crus.h.i.+ng a man"s throat, he roared, "What are you waiting for?!"

What was he waiting for? In a second the statue"s eyes brightened! Reaching out, he grabbed the chopper and raised it in front of his chest! By activating his Warrior Heart along with the Warrior Power, he switched on the Demon Slayer form! Level 1, 2... 7!

In the blink of an eye, Tence Matten transformed into a Level 7 Demon Slayer! Step by step, he put forth more Warrior Power into both feet. Stomping on the ground, he was like a roaring dragon! The decadent laziness was swept away by the extraordinary temperament! Breaking off the block, he went straight to the hut!

The solid wood was fragile as a piece of paper in front of Ji-Du! Timbering residues flew around and the man descended like a G.o.d! In the room, 16 mages were hiding there! They were shocked by the intruder! How could he... The room had been blessed by a special magic array!

"This is..." Looking at the magic array, Tence Matten was stunned! It was not that simple as it seemed! There was something buried deep in it! It resembled the Four Directional Transformation Array that his third elder brother created!

"You..." Before Tence Matten finished his words, the faces of all the mages twisted and their bones wriggled and crackled! Unexpectedly, the Magic Stones around the array smashed into their bodies, which expanded like sixteen balloons!

Like black earthworms that had lived all their lives in the soil, blue veins of pain and hideousness crept and reeled along the faces!

Was this... Fu*k!

Stepping back at a rapid pace, Tence Matten hacked a bandit apart with the chopper and shouted to Qian Jin. "Move!"

Move? Sensing the fear in Tence Matten, Qian Jin fully stretched himself to activate the [Innumerable Shadows]. They were both pushed away by a strong force the second he grabbed the coming Tence Matten!

Boom! Boom! Boom! He was not supposed to leave any footprints when using the [Innumerable Shadows] but there was no time to care about it anymore. They had to leave, as soon as possible! As they were pushed out by the strong force, the hut exploded! Fire pillars soared above the horizon, wind blades splashed like flying leaves and Earth Spikes shot up like bamboos after a spring rain!

For the ravaging blast wave, the two were again pushed tens of meters further.

Like b.a.l.l.s, they rolled and rolled. Both of their backs were searing because of the pain. Dozens of wounds were seen on Tence Matten and they were bleeding.

Fortunately, though the clothes of Qian Jin had been torn into pieces, he had only some red skin and it wasn"t that obvious against the tanned background.

"Oh, G.o.d..." Picking himself up from the floor, Tence Matten slowly opened his broken fan by snapping his thumb, index finger and the middle finger. Rocking it, he smiled at the wretched stockade. "So close..."

Qian Jin nodded at the ruins. What a close call! But how could such a small potato have such a strength? It didn"t make sense!

Tence Matten slightly adjusted his sitting position even though the wounds hurt. Leaning back against Qian Jin, he sighed and laughed out, "It"s so good to be alive!"

Taking out a bottle of potion from the Warrior Dimension, Qian Jin handed it over to Tence Matten!

"Thanks, but I"ve got my own..." The man stopped as he smelt the medicine! Was this...

"Thanks, buddy!" Without any feigned resistance, Tence Matten opened the bottle and rubbed the drug on both his hands and back.

"Master..."

Tence Matten frowned at the personal bodyguard. "I almost died!"

Iron knelt and bowed. "Sorry, Master!"

"I said "almost"! I didn"t die!" Tence Matten yawned. "Stand up!"

Looking at the self-reproving face, Tence Matten sighed. Iron had been around him since he was a kid. He knew the man had done this for his own sake... Sometimes things just went out of control.

Earth Spike, the magic array, and the human bombs...

Suddenly Tence Matten had a s.h.i.+ver! Subconsciously, he looked into the darkness, trying to find something but failed.

Was the man there Zence Changkong, his third elder brother? Tence Matten shook his head at this conjecture. "Changkong has long been after the throne, I know it! I also know he will never lay a finger on me! But the magic array there... Besides, few people know I"m in the Frontier and what I"m up to..."

"Third elder brother... Though he has no idea about my whereabouts... With his means and ability, it won"t be too hard to find it out and prepare some surprises for me!" Thinking about this, the smiling man heaved a long sigh.

Looking at the stars, Tence Matten almost shed tears. "Changkong, was that really you? People always say that flesh and blood don"t exist in the royal families, but we six brothers have been close since we were kids! I"m here just for Qian Jin. I don"t want a surprise!"

"How did you feel there?" Linguan Honzhe looked Tence Matten in his eyes. "Crossing over life and death with a comrade?"

Feel? The survivor smiled. "It felt good!"

"Is that all?" Linguan Honzhe frowned.

"That"s all." Tence Matten asked, "Should I feel something else?"
