Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

"Whatever." Darius said expressionlessly, striking a pose. "Come on."

After a long conversation, we finally got to the point.

Simon and Darius were discussing how to deal with Ying Qin Pass, but the two of them clearly did not trust each other. The three of them formed a triangle, wary of each other.

Unlike Ying Qin, who stood still, the other two could only remain motionless. If this were a life-or-death battle, perhaps these three could stand here for hours, but this was not a life-or-death battle.

Darius suddenly moved!

He raised his hand, flicked his finger and sent a divine light towards Ying Qin Pass, but his body suddenly lunged towards Simon!

That movement was so fluid!

Simon had been wary of Ying Qin Guan and Darius. If Darius had launched a direct attack on him from the start, he would have been completely safe. But Darius had feigned an attack on Ying Qin Guan before lunging at him!

This feint and deceptive maneuver was so smooth and realistic that it completely fooled Simon!

Martial artists of different eras face different troubles and have different strategies. If Simon's reaction time were slightly slower, Darius's feint would have been completely useless. Because he wouldn't have reacted yet, and by the time he did, you would already be attacking him.

But Simon managed to react... However, lacking experience in the ways of the world, he fell for Darius's trap. His body moved instinctively, but by the time he realized Darius was charging towards him, it was too late.

boom!

Sparks and lightning streaked across the path, radiating light and exuding immense power. The advantages of the Magic Warrior class were once again on full display. Simon was sent flying by a single blow, rolling several times on the ground. Before he could regain his balance, Darius attacked again like a demon. Simon hurriedly blocked, but was once again sent flying by the immense force, only managing to maintain his balance this time.

If it were a normal enemy, their Qi would be completely depleted by now. They would need to stop, catch their breath, and circulate their Qi to recover; otherwise, any attack they make would be ineffective.

but..

"Ignara! Sersetia!"

Darius is a magic warrior!

The martial artist may have exhausted his last breath, but that's alright, he's still a magician!

Darius uttered ancient Fern script, which translated to "O angel of punishment, who controls fire and lightning, crush my enemies!"

Darius twisted his wrist and clenched it tightly, causing the air to suddenly become scorching hot. Golden lightning gathered around him, and flames spiraled out of shape and adhered to his wrist.

boom!

There wasn't much time to react before the huge, crimson-gold spike shot out!

Simon couldn't catch his breath and forced out a wisp of internal energy. But it was completely useless; the scorching air and violent lightning seized control of his body... Mr. Simon was thrown out in a rather undignified manner.

He lost!

In reality, the difference in strength between the two is not so great that a winner could be decided in just a few seconds. Even if a Nephalem came, it would take more than ten rounds to defeat Simon.

But Darius did it, partly due to his opponent's lack of combat experience, but more so because of the allure of the Magic Warrior profession.

Popular topics have their advantages, and unpopular topics also have their advantages!

The audience was silent.

This is... the immense pressure exerted by the Demon Warriors.

From beginning to end, Simon was completely outmatched... To the untrained eye, the difference in their strength wasn't actually that great. To the untrained eye, Simon was completely suppressed and defeated in just a few moves...

Darius turned around, but Ying Qin Guan remained motionless. The battle between Darius and Simon had captured everyone's attention. No one had even noticed how Ying Qin Guan had dealt with the divine light.

“My hand was injured, so I was a little slower.” Darius looked calmly at Ying Qin Guan and slightly raised his chin.

"But it's okay, now it's your turn."

Chapter Fifty-Two: 'Illusory' and 'Time'

If you think you're stupid, don't forget that there was a mute girl who tried to challenge the most perfect hexagonal warrior in history with a small blackboard.

If you think you're brave, don't forget that there was a guy who, in a "death knocks on the door" tone, said to a platypus, "It's your turn."

Ying Qin Guan couldn't help but laugh.

This is actually not a good habit.

Those who achieve godhood through force, and even some who do not, all share a common flaw: arrogance, or in other words, haughtiness.

For example, gazing at the autumn waters.

When she first met Ying Qin Guan, she instantly teleported behind him, probably intending to capture Shi Jiu Xiu right in front of him to demonstrate her power.

From her perspective, is this wrong?

who I am?!

I am one of only six martial gods in human history. As far as I know, I am the only one of these six who is still alive. I can intimidate the emperors of all countries on the continent with my martial power and go against the tide of history. Now there are only two people in front of me. Is it wrong for me to show off a little?

No, right?

And the result? It was very likely that this was the closest Wang Qiushui ever came to death.

For example, Kui.

Do you think he's not arrogant or haughty?

To neither dodge nor block, to take every attack with one's bare body... what arrogance, what conceit!

When the Sword Saint fought Kui, the Sword Saint was already in his twilight years, and his fighting power had declined considerably. If the Sword Saint had fought a truly stable, top-tier Nephalem at that time, there would have been two possible outcomes: either the Sword Saint would have died and the Nephalem would have survived, or both would have died.

Yes, no matter what, the Sword Saint was destined to die, which actually meant that his raw strength at that time was inferior to that of the Nephalem.

And if the Nephalem and Qui-Queen were to fight... hehe.

In other words, if it were a contest of raw strength, the Sword Saint would have no chance to demonstrate his abilities. But Kui simply stood there, letting the Sword Saint strike, and the blade completely pierced through him, the blade sinking deep into his body and breaking off inside.

Is Kui really not in any danger at all? I doubt it.

This is the price we paid.

People always pay the price for their arrogance. In this regard, Himura Tan's character is a hero among men. He doesn't usually kill. But as one of the most unskilled types of peerless masters, after being ganged up on for a while and having to protect Shen Jiu, he found it very difficult. So he directly grabbed a sword and killed three and injured two with a backhand, without changing his expression. This shows that a true man doesn't concern himself with trivial matters.

However, Ying Qin has not yet paid the price... or perhaps he had already lost everything that could be paid as a price before he became arrogant.

"Haha...hahaha...sorry, sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. Ah, you go ahead, I'll take it."

As Ying Qin Guan spoke, a smile still lingered on his face, and he waved his hand.

Come on.

boom!!

Darius made his move immediately!

He doesn't like to talk; he believes that when someone chooses to use words, it means their fists aren't effective enough.

Darius slammed his palm into the ground, and two golden currents instantly spread out, weaving into a huge electric net that rushed towards Ying Qin Pass.

Clearly, his playing style is much more conservative.

Why did Darius and Simon both want to challenge Ying Qin Pass?

It's because there's not a trace of internal energy fluctuation in his body, giving people a feeling of unfathomable depth.

While he might have been carrying a Cloud-Suppressing Stone, or perhaps practicing some method to suppress internal energy fluctuations, it's more likely he's a master. Knowing his opponent was a master, why would he still insist on getting so close?

—At least we can't start by playing like this.

Darius was indeed a formidable figure. He was fearless in his surprise attacks, possessed extensive combat experience, and could quickly devise various battle plans and analyze the pros and cons.

But he was facing the Qin Pass.

Ying Qin Guan reached out and touched the electric grid.

—Zila.

As if grasping the curtains and using a casual force, he lifted them open.

The massive, airtight power grid was lifted... In reality, it was the immense internal energy that enveloped all the currents and tossed them aside.

"!!"

"this!"

"They pulled it open with their hands?!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell from the surrounding area.

The visual impact of this scene wasn't particularly striking; in terms of sheer coolness, it paled in comparison to Darius's lightning-streaked attack on Simon. However, the psychological impact it had was undoubtedly immense.

It's like seeing someone reach out, grab a handful of charcoal, and then mold it into a diamond.

In terms of sheer visual spectacle, it's nowhere near as cool as a sci-fi blockbuster. But it's far more sci-fi, even fantastical, than any sci-fi movie.

Laymen watch the spectacle, but experts call them experts.

"I hope this brass knuckle duster isn't just for show." Ying Qin Guan stepped forward.

Darius knew he had no way out; it wasn't that he couldn't retreat. But if he did, all the momentum he had gained from his crushing victory over Simon would be gone.

"Then let's go..."

Darius activated his cultivation technique, his inner energy surging, and he was about to rush towards Ying Qin Pass, but when he looked up, he found...

"...Gone?"

Yes, Ying Qin Pass... is gone.

This was the first time Ying Qin Guan had used his own style of combat since the sea battle. That time, the monsters they faced were simply too large, and ordinary methods were ineffective. This time, it was because... defeating Darius would indeed require some effort.

His style is called the "Illusory Time Exquisite Sword." The words "exquisite" and "sword" don't have much meaning; they simply refer to his skills and the weapons he uses. The essence of his style lies entirely in the two words "Illusory Time."

What is 'emptiness'?

Empty, hollow/not in line with reality.

What is 'time'?

time.

The so-called "virtual time" refers to...

"Oh!!"

Suddenly, a deafening shout erupted from outside the arena. Behind Darius, a hand emerged from the shadows and pressed down on his shoulder.

Walking through a false time is like leaping through time, arriving in a future unimaginable to others before they even realize it.
