Chapter 538 Battle II

538  Battle II

"This is how one powers up!" Qin Bai said, a smile bigger than a shark"s on his face.

"Here I come!" he shouted and moved forward like a shooting arrow.

His staff was twirling as he was moving forward, and for some reason, my eyes were constantly drawn to it.

I backed off.

This caused the cultivators to start cheering almost immediately, after all the man who was destroying the Black Tower"s property was pushed back with the first move.

Since it would look like I already lost the initiative.

But the sour expression on Qin Bai"s face was obvious to me that I made the right decision.

Almost instantly the entire area I was a second ago in, seemed to fold upon itself as if s.p.a.ce itself decided to compress within that area.

"Spatial Law, hmm…"

I said as I kept moving back while Qin Bai was following me swinging his staff erratically from the first impression, only to realize every swing had a purpose.

I felt the skin on the back of my neck suddenly rise up.

Suddenly two of my four robotic arms surged up from their spatial pocket and crossed together behind me.

A powerful impact blasted behind me, at first, I didn"t understand where it came from, but seeing half of the staff on Qin Bai"s hands missing, and the other half being blocked by my robotic arms gave me a clear indicator on what was his ability.

"Whoa, what are those? Is that some sort of defensive treasure?" Qin Bai said as his golden hair weaved as if caressed by an invisible wind.

"…"

"You"re a man of little words I see," he said.

"It"s you who talks a lot," I replied and made my first step forward.

This caused the man to smile in antic.i.p.ation for a fight.

"I hope you can entertain me!" he said.

And just like that I pulled up a sword. Short of length, thin of blade, and had an arrow like tip, it looked like a needle with a strange-looking tip.

"What"s that fragile-looking thing?" he asked tilting his head, "My Staff is made from G.o.dsteel, one hit and it"ll shatter that tiny sword of yours, are you mocking me?" he said.

"I"d watch my mouth if I were you, after all," I said as I took a fencing stance, "This is Du Shen"s prized weapon,"

"Qin Bai! Don"t let him use it!" Madam Zha shouted as she seemed to have realized the nature of the treasure in my hand.

"What could that thing even do, also he"s not even Emperor Rank, you all suffered against this guy, tsk, tsk," Qin Bai shook his head as he prepared to fight back.

"I"ll show you how I"ll break your tiny sword! Here I come!" he said and charged forward.

"Tiamat…" I muttered.

In that second as Qin Bai was charging he suddenly stopped. Because he felt something was wrong.

"Feast," I said as I cut my palm with my sword.

Not a single drop of blood seeped out since the sword instantly ate it.

It was only a couple of drops, but they weren"t normal blood drops, but golden Primordial Serpent G.o.d"s blood.

The atmosphere changed almost instantly as if the world was introduced to another terror once again.

"You finally called upon me, master…" the sword spoke as creepily as ever.

"Time to get to work," I said.

Qin Bai frowned, "I thought you were a poison cultivator, but you can use swords too," he said. "Still it will not change the fact that mine is better!" he said as he braved his sense of danger and came to face me.

I pointed Tiamat and the blade surged forward, at first it only elongated and went for a direct stab, but it was easily dodged, a grin spread across Qin Bai"s face as he came toward me.

Then a second blade emerged from the hilt, this one was faster, this caused Qin Bai"s eyes to widen but he still managed to dexterously dodge it, only to realize that a third, fourth, and fifth blades were also growing from the hilt of the blade.

"RUN AWAY YOU FOOL!" Madam Zha shouted as she probably knew the weapon I had in my hand.

Qin Bai"s fl.u.s.tered face was unable to cope with the ever-changing sword in my hand as he desperately tried to dodge away, completely forgetting about attacking me and focusing fully on evading the incoming blades.

Finally, he managed to avoid all nine blades that were released from the hilt of my sword looked like a nine-bladed sword, with each one as long as a hundred-meter sword.

"That was quite frightening, unfortunately for you, it didn"t work," Qin Bai said, "Also Madam Zha when I"m fighting please refrain from shouting too much, this weapon might have a hidden function, but now that I saw it, I won"t fall for it again," He said as he slapped the staff on his nape.

"Fool…" Madam Zha said as she knew that this wasn"t all that was to Tiamat.

"Tiamat…" I said, "Hunt."

The sense of danger seemed to grow vividly in Qin Bai. Something wasn"t right, and he knew it.

The stiff long blades began shuddering, then growing, each turning to a gigantic serpent of metal, then they twisted and forsaken their stiff rigid form. Now each one of the blades looked like a miniature primordial serpent G.o.d and they all looked at Qin Bai with deprived starvation.

The blades shot forward elongating even more, nine Serpentinian metallic snakes moved with the speed of sound as they surged coiling among each other to further confuse their prey.

Qin Bai was overwhelmed instantly, having to dodge, block, and parry the incoming ma.s.sive serpents.

Parrying one of them almost cost him an arm, not to mention the rest that were coming at him. The serpents didn"t change form and lost substance, no it was the opposite, they were very real. And that gigantic body was made of pure metal.

And it hunted, seeking blood and Qi like nothing else, More of the heads followed after him as he struggled to avoid the blows and then Madam Zha despite having to protect her troops from the poison cloud that was resurging once again had to come in and help.

I glanced at Madam Zha and said, "Stay away."

With that, one of the nine heads that were constantly chasing after Qin Bai turned its face toward her, opened its mouth, and shot a surge of thick poison. It was as if the floodgates had opened

Terrified of what was coming toward her, Madam Zha abandoned the thought of a.s.sisting Qin Bai and retreated hastily away from the flooding poison.

Qin Bai on the other hand had another surprise for him. Six serpents of the nine-headed toward him while the remaining two opened their maws wide and shot a surge of poison, and the other a surge of verdant flames like torrents of death.

Panic-stricken at first, and clearly confused on how he"s being outdone by someone with far less cultivation base than him, Qin Bai roared against the heavens, his golden hair grew bigger and turned a darker shade of red. Along with his muscles that inflated.

"REND!" he called as he struck down with his staff at the incoming serpents.

The staff was short compared to the length of the serpents, but the moment he swung it, even on empty s.p.a.ce, a ma.s.sive pressure manifested from high above, creating the silhouette of a gigantic staff that fell down upon the serpents all at once stopping them along with the explosive wave of poison and fire.

Huffing and puffing, Qin Bai retreated back, his Qi reserve seemed to have taken a huge dip when he used that thing right now, as for Tiamat, I withdrew it for now.

"Not many had seen this form of mine, and I promise you, none of those who had seen it lived to tell the tale," Qin Bai said as he pointed his staff at me.

"Die!" he said and suddenly the world around me felt heavier and everywhere around me, a ma.s.sive staff like the one that struck Tiamat appeared. More than a hundred of them, all pointed at me.

And then he pushed his staff forward causing every other one to come toward me in an attempt to crush me.

"Okay, if you want to see a transformation so bad, let me show you one…"
