Chapter 335

“Keng!”

Q-Sword reached for his long sword and effortlessly waved the blade, his vermilion battle robes flowing behind him . His elegant face was filled with resolve and determination . He was going to give it his all this round . In reality, it was understandable, since [Hero’s Mound] had practically put all of its strength and effort into [Destiny] . For the sake of the guild’s future, Q-Sword couldn’t lose . Besides, Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han had both been dubbed number one, but neither of them had actually surpassed the other . This time, the Rise of the Heroes Tournament gave them a rare opportunity to prove to millions of people, who was truly superior . And if Q-Sword won, one could only imagine the significance of that victory .

Jian Feng Han unsheathed his sword and summoned his Rock Spirit Fighter . He looked at his opponent with a burning passion in his eyes . Even though he was up against a strong opponent like Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han was not afraid . Instead, he revealed a face that looked forward to the battle . It was as if he was born with an avid fighting spirit infused into his body . This was the reason why Jian Feng Han was able to continuously defeat master level experts all these years .

The two did not say much . Maybe it was because everyone knew what was going on . Needless to say, this was an important match . To Q-Sword and [Hero Mound], this battle may determine which guild was the second strongest in China . Regardless of the result, they would both gain points for their guild .

……

The system started the countdown . The spectators didn’t make a single sound . Everyone had their eyes wide open, as two master level players battled it out to see who would advance to the top 8 .

“3！”

“2！”

“1！”

Battle Start!

Jian Feng Han lifted his sword and dashed towards his opponent . He ran, tracing a big arc before rushing towards Q-Sword’s position at the perfect angle of attack . The Rock Spirit Fighter also rushed towards Q-Sword from a different direction, creating a perfectly calculated pincer attack . It was almost impossible to grasp the angle and timing of the attacks .

However, Jian Feng Han’s opponent was Q-Sword, the guildmaster of [Hero Mound] .

Lifting his longsword, Q-Sword stamped on the ground then suddenly turned around . “Keng!” His sword knocked away Jian Feng Han’s blade while he raised his left fist and threw a punch! Naturally, seeing as he was an expert boxer in real life, Jian Feng Han reacted immediately . He put aside his sword and threw a fist at his opponent!

“Bang!”

The two equals trembled from the impact and their bodies swayed backwards . Jian Feng Han’s Rock Spirit Fighter wielded his battle axe and started hacking towards Q-Sword!

“Sha Sha Sha… . ”

Q-Sword quickly retreated, leaving a giant MISS in his original spot . At the same time, he jolted his arm and a hexagram flashed as a giant tiger-like beast covered in frost pounced out . Its entire body gave off a cold mist and even its fangs had icicles hanging from its sharp edges . It was Q-Sword’s most valued pet – Frost Beast, an Emperor Tier BOSS pet . It’s rumored that he obtained the pet’s egg from some practice area in the middle of the mountains after a boss run .

The Frost Beast roared ferociously as it raised it’s sharp claws and tackled the Rock Spirit Fighter .

The Rock Spirit Fighter also roared and picked up its battle axe as it began to quickly retreat . Jian Feng Han had calculated the perfect angle and charged forward, abruptly raising his sword for a cut . “Peng!” the blade landed onto the Frost Beast, causing it to cry out in pain –

“1627！”

However, the moment Jian Feng Han had hit his target, ice began to condense all over his body; his movements were slowed as his attack speed fell . He did not expect that the Frost Beast had a Frost Armor that slows* . Raising his eyes, Q-Sword continued to attack!

[Editor Note: inflicts a slowing status effect]

“Hum…… . ”

The Flaming Cloud Sword’s glow sharply increased and an image of a wolf’s head appeared on Jian Feng Han . With a wave of his sword, the long range attack locked on to it’s target – [Corrupt Wolf Edge]!

Even as he was targeted, Q-Sword didn’t seem bothered and suddenly changed direction . His speed suddenly increased and dodged the [Corrupt Wolf Edge] . At the same time, his body was moving so fast that he was practically gliding across the floor . With a raise of his blade, “Keng!” he sliced right into Jian Feng Han’s underarm and brought out a large damage counter –

“1928！”

Jian Feng Han took the hit and threw a fist right at Q-Sword’s wrist . Then, he used the fist that gripped his sword to push off the ground as he lost his balance before swiftly kicking Q-Sword, causing him to slide along the ground . The Rock Spirit Fighter suddenly roared out and threw a [Tornado Cut] . Q-Sword’s knee was on the ground as he raised his sword to block the attack which left a long mark on the bricks . But just as the Rock Spirit Fighter’s [Tornado Wind] reached its last stage, Q-Sword suddenly leapt from the ground and pierced forward . With his hands on the blade, his entire body began to morph into a golden tiger; it was his SS tier custom skill – [Fierce Tiger Burst]

“Peng!”

“4431！”

After that attack, the Rock Spirit Fighter’s health reached the bottom . The Frost Beast came roaring over and raised its sharp claws as it continued its attacks . Because of the Frost effect, the Rock Spirit Fighter was going to be finished off!

Jian Feng Han quickly analyzed the situation but was not worried at all . He was so calm that it was terrifying . In a flash, the energy in his feet suddenly burst forth . He had taken advantage of the opening when the Frost Beast killed the Rock Fighter Spirit and initiated multiple attacks . With a whistle, his sword slashed through the air and the Frost Beast didn’t even have the chance to defend . “Peng Peng Peng!” he suffered continuous blows and finally after a normal attack, it cried out in a deathly wail and died!

“`

“Shua!”

With the slow debuff gone, Jian Feng Han suddenly quickened his pace and charged forward at an angle . He avoided Q-Sword’s next round of attacks as he dragged his battle boots, creating sparks along the floor . “Bang!” He backed against a pillar as he gasped for air . He waited for his health to recover . After a few moments, along with the health that he stole from Q-Sword’s Frost Beast, his health was basically almost full .

Q-Sword was also out of breath . He picked up his long sword and looked at his opponent from a distance . He didn’t make any rash decisions . After all, both of them had already killed each other’s pets and were finally going to confront each other .

Less than 7 seconds later, the sounds of battle started again . The cooldowns for each of their skills were almost over . This was the only thing they had been waiting for .

They picked up speed almost simultaneously . The two charged at each other, each swinging their sword at a different angle as they clashed . Jian Feng Han violently knocked away his opponent, then turned around as his other hand punched right into Q-Sword’s back, the essence of the School of Penetrating Fists* . “Bang!” it was a critical hit which took 900+ from the opponent’s health . Q-Sword’s blade also turned and “Ka Cha!” took 1500+ of Jian Feng Han’s health .

TL Note: School of Martial Arts in the Real World

“Bang!”

Jian Feng Han suddenly kicked away Q-Sword’s sword hand and with a [Skyshaker Slash], cut right into Q-Sword’s .

“2762！”

Under extreme pain, Q-Sword quickly gulped down a Lv 10 potion . With a flash of his blade, his [Fierce Tiger Burst] exploded and took out 3219 of Jian Feng Han’s health . At the same time, his battle boots stomped across the ground and “Hum” a burst of light began to envelop his entire body forming an imposing flame armor . It was an S tier skill, [Spark Armor] and for 7 seconds, his defense was raised by 60%!

Jian Feng Han’s eyes turned cold; he was about to release his trump card . The Flaming Cloud Sword jolted and [Corrupt Wolf’s Edge] began to activate . After all, it was a long ranged skill that ignored the target’s defense!

“1838！”

Jian Feng Han’s body abruptly lowered as he quickened his steps towards Q-Sword . In order to make him lose balance, he lifted his battle boots and kicked at Q-Sword’s stomach, effectively sending the [Hero’s Mound] guildmaster flying a dozen meters away . He then raised his blade and shot another long range attack – [Through the Clouds Slash]!

“1532！”

Unfortunately, Q-Sword still had a sliver of health left and miserably climbed out of a pile of rubble . With both hands, he supported himself up with his sword, then suddenly leapt up . The shape of a giant hawk suddenly began to form so rapidly that the naked eye couldn’t catch it moving . “Shua!” It dived down right at Jian Feng Han’s head and like a sword, its beak slashed through his neck, leaving a bloody mark and a large damage number –

“3717！”

[Hawk Slash], an S-tier custom skill, it was Q-Sword’s unique skill……

Jian Feng Han barely had 2000 health left and also miserably stood up . He felt a shiver behind him as his and Q-Sword’s blade suddenly passed each other, bringing out two big MISS-ess . At the same time, Q-Sword’s feet were suddenly filled with energy and multiple attacks were activated . With a [Blade Rush] he penetrated Jian Feng Han’s chest plate!

“Plop… . . ”

The [Vanguard] guildmaster, a prodigy, knelt to the ground and defiantly gripped onto his Flaming Cloud Sword . He felt an unspeakable resentment and frustration as he saw that Q-Sword had less than 100 health . However, a tournament is a tournament, and losing was losing, there were no “ifs” .

……

1:0, Q-Sword rose victorious in the first round!

After that entire round, people were stupefied . The rhythm of their attacks was so swift that it was terrifying and they continuously dodged multiple attacks with their quick reflexes and blocks . Afterwards, each used their own special skills . This was the essence of battle flow manipulation; adapting and improving throughout the battle, lifesteal and drinking health potions . However, these two were both experts at controlling the fight, they won’t need more than a few minutes to analyze the situation . The battle between the two lasted 21 seconds, with every strike that landed drawing blood .

On the stage, Q-Sword lifted his sword and summoned Frost Beast again . Jian Feng Han was sent back onto the stage and calmly looked at Q-Sword . They both stayed silent without saying a single word . While it was a boring scene to watch, no one can deny that it would lead up to a spectacular duel . The way real Master class players communicate can only be through battles .

“Keng!”

Flame Cloud Sword unsheathed again . Jian Feng Han and his Rock Spirit Fighter advanced forward together . The User-Pet Isolation tactic was something both Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han was very familiar with . However, like Jian Feng Han right now, sometimes users do not care for such tactics and instead, go all out and attack from the front .

The swords collided and Q-Sword quickly slashed Jian Feng Han’s shoulders . His armor fluttered; the Frost Beast started to attack as well . Jian Feng Han successfully parried 4 attacks and sent 3 of his owns attack to Q-Sword . While displaying his exquisite parrying techniques, Q-Sword chugged down a health potion . Sometimes in the midst of battle, whoever drinks potion first will usually lose . This has became an unstated rule .

Of course, due to his speed, Q-Sword was an exception .

“Puchi”

With a sudden attack, Q-Sword sent his sword straight through Jian Feng Han’s chest . While covered in blood, he said, “[Destruction Wolf Formation]!”

“What!?”

Jian Feng Han’s pupils suddenly shrank . He noticed that 10 meters behind Q Sword was a giant wolf head gathering energy and rushing forward . “Bang Bang Bang” Three consecutive attacks landed on Jian Feng Han not even giving him a chance to drink his health potion .

Q Sword was looking for an opportunity to attack . An opportunity created by Jian Feng Han’s cold blooded attitude . This allowed Q Sword to finish Jian Feng Han in one attack .

……

Shua!

Jian Feng Han was sent out by a white light . The guild leader of [Vanguard] had been eliminated from the [Rise of Heroes] tournament!

After being sent out, Jian Feng Han held his Flaming Cloud Sword with his chest down breathing heavily . He still had not recovered from the battle . He helplessly looked at Simple and then at Yan Zhao Warrior on the side .

Yan Zhao Warrior was leaning on the wall and smiled . “Just now, didn’t a certain someone from [Vanguard] laugh at me because I was so easily defeated by Xiao Yao Zi Zai? Seems like someone got 2-0’d by Q Sword . What happened?”

Jian Feng Han’s face turned green . “You!!!”
