Storm of Gods

Chapter 49 Sword God

A slight smile appeared on Li Xin's lips. He spun around again, the hook also a feint, dodging the attack. He had already circled to Hurta's side and threw a punch. Although the movement was clumsy, Hurta was still able to generate force, raising his shoulder to take the blow. Bang!
This terrifying resilience, and at this moment Li Xin had entered Hurta's optimal attack range, his hands suddenly grabbed at Li Xin, Li Xin's body swayed continuously, whoosh whoosh whoosh...

All attacks were easily deflected. Hurta moved to the left, and Li Xin followed suit. However, Li Xin's body had already been pulled to the right. Hurta let out a low roar, his spiritual energy erupted, and he twisted his foot, forcefully pulling Li Xin over. He swept across the area, but Li Xin pulled him back again.

Hurta was thrown off balance.

Before anyone knew it, Luo Xue and Roland appeared at the door, watching quietly. "Hurta has already used eight-tenths of his strength, while Li Xin has probably only used five-tenths," Fei Ruolin said.

Luo Xue's calm face showed no expression. Fifty percent?

Hurta steadied himself, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Damn, Li Xin, your agility is even better than ours."

“Yours is not bad either, but it lacks a systematic approach and hasn’t developed its own style yet,” Li Xin said. “Come on, attack.”

“Hurta is still not agile enough; we need to use force to suppress him,” Fei Ruolin said.

Luo Xue shook her head. "Hurta's burst speed and frequency are quite fast, his agility is extremely high, and his prediction and insight are also quite excellent. Saxon experts are extremely good at this, which is why he was shaken off his feet."

Fei Ruolin was stunned. She understood what Luo Xue meant, but this would mean that Li Xin had to be at least one level higher than Hurta to achieve this.

On the training field, Hurta and Li Xin clashed head-on. Upon contact, Hurta was sent flying, his massive body drifting more than ten meters away. He knelt on one knee, and just as he tried to stand up, his legs buckled and he couldn't get up.

There wasn't a loud sound when the psionic energy collided, but the force almost pierced through his defense system.

Impressive! Actually, once we started fighting, I already knew the odds. He and Li Xin were probably evenly matched, maybe 40/60. But if it were a life-or-death battle, he might have a chance. The Saxons have a great advantage when it comes to fighting to the death. But that move just now completely shattered his idea. Li Xin probably didn't even use 50% of his strength.

"Brother Xin, what's with that force?" Hurta asked, jumping up after catching his breath. He was somewhat impressed; Li Xin hadn't even broken a sweat, and his breathing was as steady as if he hadn't done anything, while Hurta, though able to move, was still experiencing turmoil.

Li Xin smiled slightly, "Actually, you've already mastered some of it yourself; I call it internal strength."

Li Xin placed his hand on Hurta's chest. "Use your psionic energy and feel it."

"Good!" Hurta's body glowed with psionic energy, and his aura was very solid.

“If that’s not enough, bring more,” Li Xin said.

Hurta didn't hesitate. He lowered his center of gravity, his hands trembled, and white light began to rise, his spiritual energy burning. Nankai and Fei Ruolin were dumbfounded. At this level, he was already very close to opening the Eye of Secrets...

Lu Shuai's mouth dropped open. Oh no! He and Xiao Hu each had their own strengths, and they were good brothers, one for close combat and the other for ranged combat, so they could show off and fly together. Now Xiao Hu was starting to bully him too.

bang~~~
Something seemed to shake slightly. Li Xin didn't move, but Hurta's burly body paused for a moment before flying out like a cannonball and crashing directly into the wall, shattering the psionic defense.

The entire room fell silent. What had happened?
clap~~~
Hurta clutched his chest and slid down against the wall, his face pale. A few seconds later, he gasped for breath and began to pant heavily. The blow had almost taken him away; he felt as if his soul was about to be separated from his body.

Li Xin had already walked over. "It hurts a bit, but the feeling should be quite profound. Your best power also contains this kind of short-range force, but it's all instinctive and hasn't become a habit yet. With continuous practice and feeling, you can achieve this effect. Actually, compared to using heavy weapons, I think your agility, strength, and close combat characteristics make you better suited to using your fists."

Hurta's eyes lit up. He felt an unprecedented power and impact. "Brother Xin, teach me."

“Okay, it’s easy to practice,” he said, pulling Hurta up. “Don’t practice today, so you don’t get any hidden injuries.” “I’m fine!” Hurta thumped his chest, followed by a series of grimaces.

"I take back my judgment," Fei Ruolin said with a wry smile. She hadn't expected there to be a surprise here. Now she didn't have to worry. No matter how strong he was, as long as he was strong enough, Zhao Qing wouldn't be able to find any fault with him.

Luo Xue didn't react much. "Hurta, training isn't something that can be done overnight. You should rest first, and we'll arrange the corresponding exercises for you later. Black Rose will take care of any props you need."

At this moment, President Luo Xue's demeanor came out.

"President, there's nothing special about it. Just provide him with a bed sheet and have him pound it 10,000 to 50,000 times a day."

Li Xin explained that he should tie a rope, hang the bed sheet on it, and not use his spiritual energy, but exert force vertically.

Hurta and the others were all confused and didn't quite understand, so Li Xin didn't say much more.

Having learned about their strengths, Nan Kai and Fei Ruolin relaxed, and the atmosphere in Black Rose became more relaxed. They were even looking forward to the arrival of the delegation to help them hone their new recruits. It would be better if they could win, but there was nothing shameful about losing, since they were all new trainees.

. . .

A day passed without any movement. If Mondlier confessed, Casey would surely send good news immediately. Both sides were in a tug-of-war, which was also a kind of torment. Suddenly, the traditional nobles and the new forces clashed again.

In the past, nobles could not be detained without the king's order. Even after the Grand Consul's reforms, resistance has always existed. Now, with Luther's death, the nobles' restoration efforts are reigniting. The handling of the Mondlier incident is highly controversial in Tianjing, putting pressure on the Church and the Night Watch.

Qi Badao always had a heart set on making great achievements. He pondered the matter many times and always felt that his judgment was accurate.

At night, a person wearing a raincoat characteristic of the dungeon, whose color almost blends into the environment, if he is Mondlier and the user is related to him, then now is a good opportunity for the user to take action. Mondlier can be a participant, but not necessarily the user himself, otherwise going to the church would be too risky.

What if the user were to commit a crime at this time? It would be a fatal blow to the night watchman.

Sometimes in the city, sometimes outside the city, the most suitable place to commit the crime now is of course the underground city.

Qi Badao, who strongly believed in his intuition, was very patient and kept waiting. He even found a junior leader who had already awakened to be dressed as a woman to fetch water near the water source, changing his clothes every hour.

It was already late at night, and the dungeon was completely dark. He was also feeling a bit unwell. Damn it, he heard that the detention period had been reduced to three days, and the church only had three days left.

It may seem like it's targeting the church, but if he were one of those monsters, he would probably take the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Night Watchers, so they wouldn't dare to cause trouble again.

If his earlier guess was correct, he didn't believe the user could remain calm.
Or perhaps they chose another place?
According to his sources, due to the recent power struggle, the gang leaders in other regions have become very restrained, especially the Awakened Ones who are afraid of becoming targets and are very careful. Only he is the one who is stirring up trouble.

He didn't think the addicts would be afraid. If he were an addict, he would only feel excited and would definitely wipe out this ungrateful little gang.

Qi Badao was really sleepy, so he couldn't help but light a cigarette, take a few deep drags, and feel his soul return. He muttered, "Damn addicts, hurry up and come out."

"Are you waiting for me?"

A sinister, shrill voice sounded from behind...
