Chapter 26: PRINCE VS THE BLACK SILHOUETTE-

Both the figures were now confronting each other. The earlier confrontation led to the formation of hostility between the two.

The prince wanted this bout to help him regain his face back. ” I hope you are ready and no reason to show me any leniency.”

The prince launched an attack. The black silhouette decided to dodge before returning the favor.

Jiao Shen was proficient in an art called the ‘Crazed dragon fist’. It was characterized by unpredictable movements and sudden outbursts of power.

The silhouette decided to use his own set of fist arts to match against Jiao Shen.

...................................................

The Crimson Lord world-

.....

” Is there a way to record this fight. The art would provide a great reference for me while developing ‘Dominator’s fist’.

The Keeper complied with Long Tao’s request. The Crazed dragon fist was a combination of power and precise hits, with uneven projectiles. IF the dominator’s fist managed to absorb some of the characteristics, the effectiveness would increase.

...................................................

“The royal family lives up to its name.” One of the sect representatives said.

The silhouette was also observing this fist art. As the fight proceeded, the prince started gaining an advantage. But the silhouette didn’t panic.

As it was about to be pushed off the stage, the silhouette suddenly changed its trajectory and dodged, dashing towards the center.

Jiao Shen’s confidence rose due to the last chain of events. If he could overwhelm the figure once, he could do it again.

......................................................

Jiao Sheng had a stern look on his face. The elder beside him asked,” Your majesty is there a problem with the fight.”

He looked at the elder and said: “Who is going to win according to you.”

“From the advancement of the event until now, I think it is the prince who has the advantage.”

Jiao Sheng replied” The other guy is the astounding one. He is not even seriously fighting yet “.

The elder was stunned. It would be too monstrous if that were true.

.........................................................

Jiao Shen began to mock his opponent, “You are still trying to act tough. The only thing you are good at is dodging. Why not try to attack me for once.”

“So, you still haven’t noticed. However, I couldn’t blame it on you. A frog is, after all, a frog in the end.”The silhouette attacked immediately.

The prince was astonished by the sudden occurrence. His dominance vanished instantly. His fist arts were not able to compare with the opponent anymore.

..............................................................

Long Mengchen heard a voice in her head” The figure is quite the capable. That art isn’t any weaker when compared to the clan’s core martial arts library.” It came as a surprise to her. The power she belonged to was a hegemonic existence.

” Where is this guy from?”

...........................................................

Jiao Sheng himself was someone who adept in sword and saber arts. The sabre-sword King as the title given to him by the opponents. The clan naturally had a set of art for his son.

Unlike his father, Jiao Shen’s weapon of choice was spear was what he chose to master at the end. The Jiao clan provided him with the best resources he required to learn and master the spear. The spear he currently held was one that was gifted to him by his grandfather. It was a treasured item within the Qi child realm.

He continued to pierce his spear in the direction of the silhouette, utilizing his best understanding and the arts he had mastered. But even then, the black silhouette managed to contend with his bare hands.

As time passed on the prince confidence started wavering more and more. Finally, the black figure managed to land a hit on the prince’s body.

Jiao Shen again initiated another attack, but the effectiveness began to decrease.

................................................

Jiao Shen suddenly roared out loud. The qi released this time was more robust. He managed to break through the 6th stage of the Qi child realm.

The fight was now taking an interesting turn. Maybe the prince is going to win the round for sure. But just as someone expected the conclusion, the black-clad figure said:

” So you completed the breakthrough you were so desperately trying to suppress. Good. Give me your best shot. The fight is getting boring.”

Jiao Shen looked at his opponent and replied:” I won’t be needing my spear for the movement, I can match you with my fist art”.

” Still trying to act mighty and arrogant with a little bit of strength.”

........................................

The black figure moved and barred his fist towards Jiao Shen, and a scene repeated itself. Jiao Shen was forced to cough out blood. He was left bewildering:

“Can I not defeat him even after I breakthrough”.

The figure mockingly said,” The glorious prince should fuck down the stage, you are not my match “.

The black silhouette turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard ” I refuse to accept the outcome.”

“Well, your refusal or not doesn’t change it, prince.”

.....................................................

Jiao Shen closed his eyes. Soon the Qi around him started to swirl madly. Jiao Sheng was stunned speechless and was not able to say anything.

” Congratulations to your majesty, the prince has managed to awaken the ancestral bloodline power.”

Jiao Shen slowly opened his eyes and looked at his opponent.

” Has the bloodline awakening suddenly given you confidence, prince. Hehe! Man, it must be a massive occasion for the royal clan, visible from the reaction of the elders and your father. I just imagine what will happen if I cripple this pre-mature bloodline of yours “.

Jiao Sheng had black lines on his face after hearing this. He wouldn’t be able to interfere with the fight unless Jiao Shen admits defeat himself.

Hence if the prowess of the guy were higher than Jiao Shen now, he would be left at his mercy. He instructed his servants to fetch valuables from the treasury. He needed to preserve the bloodline no matter what the cost.

................................................

Jiao Shen was aggressive, and his power enhanced. He utilized the full extent of his means, not holding anything back. HE began gaining an advantage.

“Interesting, the bloodline does give you a good boost in strength. But as I said, extremely weak and pre-mature-mature. Let me show you what a mature bloodline limit power will produce.”

The black figure’s qi got disrupted and turned violent. The fluctuation was getting bigger and more violent. He too had a bloodline ability.

He lifted his fist to attack Jiao Shen.

................................................................

Jiao Shen was crushed onto the ground from the earlier impact. The outcome has been decided.

The hooded figure moved towards the pale figure of Jiao Shen. The ill intent in his eyes was visible.

“Can you please spare him.” The audience looked stunned. The king was pleading with the figure.

The awakening of the ancestral bloodline was a very crucial matter within the clan.

” What benefit would I obtain in that case.”

” State your demands.” Jiao Sheng was hell-bent on saving his son.

......................................................

A smile occurred on the face of the black silhouette as if the earlier actions were all an act. The hostile intent vanished.

Jiao Sheng was stunned. He fell into the trap set by this boy.

” I want a peak grade saber and sword set made for myself”.

The audience gasped cold breath. They were expecting to hear a cold refusal.

“The weapon will be commissioned, and you can check the quality and personalization yourself”.

” Many thanks, your majesty.” The figure got down with a smirk.

...............................................

Soon healers from the royal clan carried away the injured Jiao Shen inside the manor.

“He has some internal injuries, but the bloodline is intact.”

Currently, the last fight between the top 16 came to an end. The final top 8 were the seven hooded figures and Long Mengchen.
