Chapter 782: Chapter 775: Fighting

Despite taking a direct hit from Zhou Yuanjue’s terrifying True Vein Seal Technique, the scrawny Qianyue Jian seemed completely unharmed.

He slowly raised his head and looked in Zhou Yuanjue’s direction.

A flicker of emotion gradually appeared in his lifeless, numb eyes, which were no longer utterly still.

"Heh heh, has he finally taken an interest?"

In the observation room, the Evil Dragon Life said with a smile.

"The combat power of the Moon Trace Lineage is linked to their emotional fluctuations. To hide the effects of overly intense emotions, they normally keep them sealed deep within their consciousness. They only reveal their true selves when appropriately stimulated. Now, he’s finally taken an interest in his opponent."

The Sacred Lotus member also wore a smile.

On the battlefield, Zhou Yuanjue could clearly feel the change in Qianyue Jian’s emotions. It was as if a ferocious beast was awakening from a deep slumber.

CRACK! CRACK!

A roar echoed from his body as his bones ground and collided violently. His hunched, gaunt frame slowly straightened, extending inch by inch.

In the end, his physique underwent a massive transformation. His height shot up to two meters in an instant, and a vast amount of energy surged into his body, turning his once-scrawny frame incredibly muscular.

After this dramatic change in his figure, his formerly weak and stooped face became sharp and chiseled, filled with a sense of masculine power.

"It seems I’ve found someone worth taking seriously."

"State your name."

Qianyue Jian was like a completely different person. Only now did he truly look like a descendant of a prominent family from a high-level civilization. His eyes were like sharp swords, piercing one’s very soul.

"You’ll find out when you defeat me," Zhou Yuanjue said with a calm expression.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Zhou Yuanjue’s words, a slight smile appeared on Qianyue Jian’s lips.

BOOM!

Before anyone realized it, his body had expanded even further.

Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes narrowed slightly. He recalled Bodante’s earlier explanation: the fundamental ability of the Moon Trace Race was that their strength changed with their emotional fluctuations. The more intense their emotions, the greater the power they could unleash.

’It seems my opponent is the strongest among this group from the Red Moon Civilization.’

"As you wish."

VMM!

Blood-red energy surged from Qianyue Jian’s body. This energy was extremely dense and concentrated. It slowly gathered on his arms, coalescing into two strangely shaped energy weapons.

They looked like a pair of scimitars shaped like crescent moons.

Holding one in a standard grip in his right hand and the other in a reverse grip in his left, Qianyue Jian slowly assumed a peculiar stance.

His tall body was slightly arched, one foot was slightly raised, and his arms were positioned one in front of the other.

Seeing this stance, Zhou Yuanjue’s pupils contracted.

This posture reminded him of the stances in the Martial Dao.

It was the opening stance of a fighting skill.

The Red Moon Civilization was known as a civilization of warriors. Even when it was a low-level civilization, it revered the honing of combat techniques, developing a path similar to Earth’s Martial Dao. The Moon Trace Lineage, in particular, was a prime example of its finest practitioners.

’It’s been a long time since I’ve met an opponent like this.’

The excitement in Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes grew more intense. Since entering the True Realm, opponents like this were far too rare.

Most True Realm Life was accustomed to defeating opponents with overwhelming energy and destructive moves. In comparison, Zhou Yuanjue felt that such a fighting style always lacked a certain aesthetic beauty.

He was very curious what the fighting skills of the True Realm were truly like.

His torso slowly lowered, his legs bent into a slight crouch, and his arms spread wide like a hawk ready to take flight.

It was a long-unseen Martial Dao opening stance.

"Interesting."

Seeing Zhou Yuanjue’s movement, Qianyue Jian’s body seemed to swell once more.

WHOOSH!

In an instant, Qianyue Jian’s figure vanished from his spot.

His fighting style was different from that of ordinary candidates. There was no terrifying momentum or leakage of energy; everything was silent, not even the sound of wind from his rapid movement could be heard.

But this, in itself, signified an extreme level of terror.

His opponent’s control over energy had reached a frightening level.

He could feel the skin around his opponent’s body trembling slightly, undulating with energy like a Divine Dragon swimming through water, minimizing air resistance to the greatest extent. This was why not a whisper of wind escaped.

On Earth, this was a usage of Martial Force.

VMM!

Energy flowed through the twelve meridians in Zhou Yuanjue’s body. He formed a peculiar seal with his hands, and the skin, muscles, and energy all over his body vibrated in unison.

True Vein Seal Technique, Gang Dou Seal!

BOOM!

Zhou Yuanjue took a step forward, his figure also moving like a swimming dragon, parting the air as he charged toward his opponent.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

Earth Martial Dao versus Red Moon Fighting Skill!

"Excellent! Excellent!"

In a flash, their figures converged.

SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH!

The Crescent Blades in Qianyue Jian’s hands swung continuously. The angles were extremely tricky, his power control was superb, and all the energy was condensed without the slightest leak, giving them immense attack power.

If one were to be struck, almost no one at the same realm could resist.

The pores all over Zhou Yuanjue’s body opened and closed as he took a sudden breath through his mouth and nose.

Rebirth’s Tendrils, activate!

However, this time, he failed. His opponent’s attacks were so condensed they were almost tangible; his energy absorption ability couldn’t even budge them!

Countless terrifying slashes rained down on Zhou Yuanjue. Even he couldn’t block them head-on.

He used the vibratory power of the Gang Dou Seal to partially deflect the trajectory of his opponent’s attacks. Combined with dodges and his own strikes, he performed a series of incredible movements to knock the Crescent Blades aside, making the situation look perilous for a moment.

"Think you can dodge?"

A cold sneer appeared on Qianyue Jian’s face.

Blood Moon God Wu Dao!

In an instant, the Blood Moon mark in his eyes flared with a scorching, terrifying light.

He forcibly elevated his emotions, and a killing intent so dense it was almost tangible erupted from his body.

BOOM!

Stimulated by his emotions, his arms suddenly swelled, and his energy spiked instantly.

This move was a frenzied technique that forcibly activated his inner killing intent, a will to annihilate everything and cut down his opponent.

The speed of the countless blood-red blade lights nearly doubled in an instant, and their attack power became even more terrifying.

However, there was not a trace of fear in Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes.

"Your fighting skills are impressive, but it seems you have yet to grasp the true pinnacle of combat."

"To defeat intent with no-intent, to transform into an Asura with a Buddha’s Heart!"

"Your killing intent is too obvious!"

Zhou Yuanjue’s expression was calm as he formed a peculiar seal with his hands, the meridians within his body circulating.

A strange seal appeared around him, seeming to have some connection to Ancient Donghua’s Zhou Yi Trigrams.

True Vein Seal Technique, Heavenly Mechanism Seal!
