Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 198: Assault, Suppress, and Level Up

As his Warrior Power exceeded the 3,500 limit and hit into 3,600 cycles, Qian Jin emitted a low and deep roar! His body suddenly moved and dashed out 7 meters in a flash like a fierce beast rushing out from grass! He stepped on the ground, leaving a series of inch deep marks. The whistling air friction sounded like the blast brought forth by a war horse on a raid and the dust swirled underfoot!

All at once Qian Jin had rushed to the front of the magic and set the [Cut Tree Eight Strikes] in motion! Sizzle! The air rumbled violently, issuing a sound of cutting cloth with scissors!

Bold, brave and clean! The chop was fatal even to someone in a heavy armor!

The sword had a relatively large body, so agility and flexibility were never its specialties. But it was a first-class weapon in crudeness, severeness, and brutality!

Land Tearing Chop!

The sword slammed loudly as it hit the thick lava! The red egg shrunk, swelled and shrunk again as if it had been flattened! Suddenly the stone under the egg body exploded!

The bright blade wiped out a series of glaring brilliant sparks against the red egg stone! The metals collided and the red gravel scattered! What a scene!

A harsh scream rang from the thick egg, followed by some heat eruption that could instantly scald people! The swishing noise sounded just like a kettle of boiling water!

A combination of the metal essence and the Level 9 Demon Fighter’s strength burst out an inconceivable tyrannical force, of which the collision was like an earthquake!

All of a sudden, the stone egg bloomed out like petals! The whole body was burning like some hot iron and a strange jelly face composed by rolling magma stared at Qian Jin! It spat red flames while attacking Qian Jin at his waist with a sturdy arm, which hit right on the cutting edge of Zhanmadao!

Qian Jin wobbled a little at this encounter! He soon stamped the ground step by step and without a break, he lifted up the Flame Demon’s arm and then made another strike with all his might!

This strike was obtained in Four Seasons Valley when his life had been at stake! Thirteen strikes in a row were comparable to thirteen same level warriors fighting together!

The hacking was so abominable that the forefront knife pressure could even kill! It was almost about to form an invisible blade energy!

Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang …

The thirteen metal collisions scattered sparks all over the battlefield! Hurtling rocks slanted across the wind accompanied by the roar of the Flame Demon.

Cut! Cut! Cut! Qian Jin could see nothing but the demon! Each time he waved Zhanmadao, the skin was torn apart and the flesh gaped open! From those holes, visible white air was floating out!

This stone layer was like its flesh to a baby Flame Demon, which served as protection but also a weak spot! The tough steel might prevent other creatures getting close to it but once injured, it would still hurt!

Only a mature Flame Demon would completely get rid of the stone-made armor and live with a total flame body!

Come on! Spit a little more! Qian Jin bustled up closer to the Flame Demon! The white air to it was blood to human! They could be used as weapons but too much might kill it!

The Flame Demon growled! The magic core inside it had been fully into the growth period, but the high temperature had not baptized the body yet, which meant the body had not really entered the growth period and therefore had no time to consolidate itself! What pissed off it more was the deep wound! A slight movement would squeeze out a lot of heat!

And this human! Why wasn’t he afraid of its growling heat at all? It was too annoying!

The heat flow was extremely burning! Thanks to this special ability to invert injury into a weapon, other beasts would normally avoid acting against Flame Demons. It was also a special kind of self-protection for a baby Flame Demon.

But this enemy here didn’t show any signs of fear. The Flame Demon was hit several times and was at the same time trying to burn the opponent with all its might. However, the hot air was nothing to him!

“You’re way off from the Burning Fire Lake in Four Seasons Valley!” Qian Jin dodged and fended off silently so to protect the eyes from the heat and he put the [Wind and Cloud Golden Body] into action to fight against the heat!

Suppression! Suppression! Suppression! Qian Jin knew that the sneak attack had played its part! Otherwise, it would be uncertain who was gonna win this fight when diamond cut diamond!

Roar! The Demon beast growled, raised his hand and challenged Zhanmadao with its bare arm! At the same time, the other one fiercely rammed out like the projecting stake of a chariot!

Qian Jin shook his body back and forth like a snake! He dribbled past the demon’s arm and moved to the other side of it while the Warrior Power on his sword rapidly changed accordingly! Suddenly, it crosscut into the demon’s neck half an inch deep!

The Flame Demon uttered a piercing scream! Visible white steam erupted from the neck and the process lasted a long time!

“Still alive?” Qian Jin sped up the hacking and stabbed its body one cut after another! It might take a long time to consume all its heat! Thinking about this, Qian Jin searched for the magic core through the slits!

Warrior Code – [End a fight as early as you could because you never know what might come next!]

A thunder broke out as the blockade arm was completely cut off on the ground! The Flame Demon issued a long dolorous whine and hurriedly retreated on the impact caused by the injury! In the blink of an eye, he was 10 meters away!

Run! The demon knew that there was no hope for survival if he continued this fight! Escape was the only way to survive!

“Wanna run?” Qian Jin took his Quan off his back and pulled it into a full moon! A high-speed rotating arrow threaded through the splashing small stones and thrust itself sharply into the middle of Flame Demon’s back.

The wounded monster suddenly slowed down! Qian Jin availed himself with this favorable circumstance to catch up with it. He initiated a strike once again but saw a cold smile on the turning Flame Demon.

Was that… A trace of doubt quickly passed across Qian Jin’s mind! The beast in the air suddenly opened the mouth and huffed down! A leaf cover instantly crumbled into ashes and replaced by a small pond!

The water, which should have been calm and placid, kept gurgling like a boiled pot! With naked eyes, rolling red flows could be seen in the depths!

It was the Lave Lake! Qian Jin had learned about it from the geography textbook in class! It would take only twenty seconds to poach an egg!

It occurred to Qian Jin the Flame Demon had fled to this pond on purpose! It had intended to take advantage of the hot water to burn him to death!

Puff…

Two huge water flowers splashed in the pool! The escaping monster turned around and swam towards QIan Jin! Its eyes flashed angry satisfaction since he was waiting for a successful revenge to come!

How cozy! Qian Jin took a deep breath under the water. It suddenly brought him back to those days in Four Seasons Valley.

A gigantic body swam through the water and heat! A shock descended into its eyes jumping with agitating flames. The man who should have been screaming in the boiling pond hadn’t died but set off a split with his Zhanmadao in a comfortable look!

How fast! The split was like a gust! The Flame Demon was shocked and forgot to defend! The sword deeply sank into its brains and crushed the rock scalp! The head hard enough to smash granite was cut into two halves like a watermelon! Burning flames squeaked when meeting with water. Misty screaming kept coming over!

All at once, the majority of the flames in the rock went out! Qian Jin looked it over and found a red crystal in the size of an adult fist, which carried an amazing and obvious heat even in this burning pond!

Qian Jin finally relaxed! Fatigue started to erode his body and his Warrior Power also went on strike. This demanding fight had required an instant super burst, which consequently resulted in the unknown tiredness!

“Is this the magic core of the Flame Demon? It looks much larger than in the picture.” Qian Jin grabbed the magic core and he felt a wave of heat invading his palm! The temperature was much higher than the outermost layer of the Burning Fire Lake. “It should be a magic core in the growth period. How fortunate I came here at an early time! Once the monster had completely entered the growth period and been bestowed with the Born-magic, I would have been burned to death!”

“Don’t know if Blake would keep his words.” Qian Jin climbed out of the pool and shook off the water on his head. “With this, I’m only one step away from the Rune.”

A few wisps of smoke spiraled up in the dusk village, which seemed particularly peaceful and quiet! Qian Jin wondered if there had been any mysterious power protecting this village! A wealth of beasts were running around the Western mountain but no one dared to attack this place!

Qian Jin shook his head standing in front of the village! It was not any mysterious power but every resident who were protecting their home! They were all weird and powerful, including the middle-aged aunt living in the eastern part! He might not be able to defeat her and her rolling pin in a real fight!

He even heard that the owner of [Enlak’s Warrior Energy House] had developed the Second Warrior Body which was only heard in rumors! Even an adult Flame Demon might not be able to take his punch!

“Blake…” Qian Jin opened the door and walked into the courtyard! Seeing that pretty girl beside Blake, he stood blankly for a moment!

Although they had only met once two years ago, the girl’s excellent Rune engraving technology had long been imprinted upon his mind!

[Akenash’s Rune Shop]

She was quite a child as she had been two years ago! Although she was taller than a ten-year-old girl, her face didn’t change and was still so tender and lovely. The only thing not fitting her appearance was the disposition she carried.

It was the same self-confidence which appeared when Blake picked up the hammer, Eulalia concocted Mystic Potions and Adams manufactured a new drug!

The only difference Akenash had compared with these people was a certain fling! She was not as kind as they were.

“You got the magic core?” Akenash clasped two fine arms behind the back, raised her porcelain face and ordered in an old-fashioned tone with her childish voice. “Show me.”

Qian Jin turned to Blake and the latter nodded! Qian Jin stretched out his palm in which the magic core was showing a trace of red but evil light!

Akenash leaned forward, wrinkled her beautiful tiny nose and nodded again and again. “It turns out to be one in the early growth period!”

Early growth period? Right! Qian Jin provoked his eyebrows and looked at Blake! It was not the first time Blake had provided some false information!

While the old blacksmith was so into his pipe that he completely ignored the sharp eyes!

Akenash took a pair of metal gloves out from her tail ring, of which the knuckles were extremely pliable and delicate! Because of the material, they carried a trace of chillness!

“Spatial Ring?” Qian Jin looked at the simple ring with some curiosity! He had never seen a spatial storage item belonging to the mages before! But it looked no better than his Warrior Dimension and he guessed the only use it would serve was to be a gift!

Akenash put on the Hundred Years Aged Purified Ice-Iron gloves forged by Blake before she gently grabbed the burning magic core! Suddenly a few strange swish sounds came into being like some icy water was poured on a hot iron plate!

“It is certainly something forged by Blake!”

Qian Jin also marveled at the gloves and nodded in admiration! When the Hundred Years Aged Ice-Iron was forged into the essence, the iron would become much colder than it had already been like an aged ice cake! But Akenash did not show any sign of being frozen! Obviously, the inside part of the gloves must have been forged in some special method, which could prevent the intrusion of the coldness!

“It seems I still have a lot to learn on forging.” Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders while staring at the smoking Blake! He secretly wondered who the old blacksmith would be! A peak Forge Master? A Forging Grandmaster? Could he be a God-tier blacksmith Master?

Akenash slightly lifted her wrist and threw the magic core into the air! It rolled and rolled into the burning stove! All of a sudden, the half-dead stove breathed some more ferocious fire than kerosene had been put in it! The soaring flames were almost two feet high!

Qian Jin raised his eyebrows and there was only amazement in his pupils! The fire would rage so ferociously after it ate the magic core! It was fairly true that only the professionals would know how to put different objects to proper use. Back in the academy, some instructors had only introduced the magic core as the material for the best fire magic equipment. Most warriors would note it as a fighting weapon.

“The magic core of Flame Demon can accelerate the burning process of any material and produce more heat.” Blake stretched himself out and said. “And it can also change the purity of the flame. Look.”

Blake picked up his hammer and initiated a mighty strike on a piece of Hundred Years Aged Ice-Iron! Out of expectations, the sparks were much less than it had been before!

The second strike lit up Qian Jin’s eyes! There was something new in Blake’s waving no matter in line or skill.

Boom! The entire forging case startled as if there had been a bomb exploding in the yard! Akenash narrowed her fine eyebrows and clapped her hands over her ears while watching the unprecedented picture! A fire column suddenly burst into the air from the iron and didn’t go down until it rushed to three feet height!

“Your Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes has been leveled up …”

The emotionless hint sound once again sounded! Qian Jin pulled out the status screen and finally saw there came some changes!

[Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes]: Level 3

Proficiency: 1/600000

Blacksmith Title: Forge Grandmaster

Forge Grandmaster! Qian Jin tightly stared at the title column! He couldn’t believe he had finally become a Forge Grandmaster! Moreover, he might have been the youngest one in history in the Zence Empire, Demon Empire, and Barbarian Empire!

Blake put down his hammer and waved to Qian Jin!

They did not need too many words for communication! Gestures would do it! And Qian Jin understood it meant to switch turns!

Carrying the 800-pound hammer, Qian Jin recalled the Third Hammering Technique exemplified by Blake! The Hundred Years Aged Ice-Iron once again broke out sparks ten times as it had done before when crashing against the hammer! Along with the sparks were the one-man-tall flames!

Blake nodded with satisfaction! Forging required not just strength but also observation! And this kid had observed more carefully than before!

After more than a hundred strikes, Qian Jin took a break to wipe off the sweat on his forehead! He was tired not from the heavy hammer but from the Third Hammering Technique! It consumed too much strength and control!

[the Third Hammering Technique]: Level 3

Proficiency: 2/600000

Qian Jin stunned at the proficiency! What the f**k? He had practiced for such a long time and it had just gained a point? He remembered Blake had once said only the Second Hammering Technique was the most difficult. But he thought the Third was much more difficult!

Sensing the doubt, Blake puffed and answered without raising his head, “I have never come across anything in this world that would become easier and easier as I carry on the learning! Don’t take any words too seriously in the future! ”

Qian Jin subsided into helpless laughter! He wasn’t so naive as to believe some strangers! He trusted Blake for being his forging mentor! Well, he would just take it was a joke! Blake only did this for Qian Jin’s sake!

“Go learn some Runes.” Blake waved.

Akenash made a ninety-degree bow to Blake and waved to Qian Jin after she straightened up. “Come with me.”

Qian Jin forced another wry smile! She was just a child! It was so funny when she tried to act like an adult!
