Chapter 386 - 282: Plan 3

They were stunned by the strength he had just displayed, and just as stunned by the plan that came from his lips.

A solo... operation?!

Did he intend to single-handedly go on a killing spree at the Pseudo-Government’s founding ceremony?!

Even with overwhelming power, that should be impossible, right?

"Mr. Zhao, we underestimated your strength. The power of a Divine General from the Divine Land is truly shocking. However, you might also be underestimating the strength of the Six Nations. The personal might of the Four Marshals has also reached an otherworldly level. I have experienced their power firsthand. You are exceptionally strong, but you’ll be outnumbered. Your enemies are inhuman as well."

As everyone stood in silence, Bard suddenly spoke to Zhao Xuanqi.

"A Primordial Qi wound. You did indeed survive an encounter with a Divine General-level expert."

Zhao Xuanqi glanced at the atrophied, withered features on one side of Bard’s face and gave a slight nod.

"Words are useless. If you wish, you can experience it for yourselves."

Zhao Xuanqi said, looking at the assembled group.

Matt and Bard exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. They too were curious to see just how powerful Zhao Xuanqi truly was.

「Outside the ancestral hall, in an open space.」

Zhao Xuanqi stood in the center of the open space, his hands clasped behind his back.

"I’ll be the first to try."

Matt shot Bard a look and spoke in a low voice, then with a light step, he landed on one side of the open space.

"Watch out!"

BANG!!

He took a step, inhaling sharply. His body swelled as his Qi and Blood surged.

His body’s magnetic field didn’t erupt with the surging Qi and Blood. Instead, it condensed around him, revealing a thin, iridescent halo.

Matt’s eyes went vacant, as if he had entered a kind of Meditation Realm.

But Zhao Xuanqi could see that the man had achieved a profound state of fusion between his magnetic field and his physical body, activating its deepest potential.

VMMMM!!

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the air actually began to ripple faintly.

Experts at the limiter level could already influence the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi with their every move, though they could not yet fully command it.

One step, then a thrust!

Matt’s technique was incredibly direct. His hand, like a great spear, thrust through the air.

The Knight Battle Technique was, at its core, a spear technique!

The essence of life is the spiral.

BOOM!!

As his arm thrust forward, his Force Release entered a profoundly mysterious state.

His muscles, bones, blood vessels, and meridians all twisted to their absolute limit; even the essence of his being was employing Spiral Power.

In an instant, his power erupted, churning even the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into a spiral.

The essence of the battle technique used by Angel’s Horn, one of Jili’s legendary Four Knights, was Spiral Force!

With Matt’s power, a single thrust could channel the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into a massive, spiral cone dozens of meters long. He had once obliterated three fully-armed heavy tanks with a single such technique!

A hint of admiration showed in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes. ’The tides of the world are truly changing, producing one talent after another.’ The power of this technique from Matt placed him above any single member of the old Neon Three Saints.

And yet, facing this terrifying strike, Zhao Xuanqi didn’t dodge. He didn’t even move his hands, which remained clasped behind his back.

Matt’s pupils contracted. But the power in his strike had already been released; it was impossible to pull it back.

BOOM!!

His strike landed squarely on Zhao Xuanqi’s chest, completely undefended, causing the onlookers to cry out in alarm.

Yet, as the Qi Force exploded and the Primordial Qi scattered, Matt’s body froze in place.

Before him, Zhao Xuanqi, who had taken the direct hit, hadn’t moved an inch. Even the paving stones beneath his feet hadn’t cracked. And as for his chest...

A patch of silver light had condensed into scales covering Zhao Xuanqi’s skin. The full-power strike of a limiter-level expert hadn’t even managed to tear a single thread of his clothing.
