"Slayer system give me a precise location to block this idiot's strike." Instructs Kaze Zao with a calm whisper.
"OI! Are you talking to yourself!? So much for being the masked champion!" Tai Chang slammed his battle-ax downward in a linear position. A strong wind current blasted against his young face.
[Incoming attack! 80 Degrees West!] Kaze Zao pinpointed the velocity and trajectory of the ax's forceful swing. In weapons combat it was important to predict your enemies next strike, you can see where there are going to strike just by looking at their hand movements. All it took was 3s to figure out Tai Changs next swing. It would have taken Kaze Zao 5s to predict certain attack movements without the Slayer System. It seems that this system wasn't weak after all. If used to its highest output then it would become a very powerful weapon that can take down anyone.
Kaze Zao blocked the battle-ax with perfect and precise precision, the blade tip of the ax was right below his katana blade and the cross- guard. He parried up Tai Chang's ax with all his dual cultivation energy, which wasn't much, but it was enough to disarm the heavy muscled bandit who now had a dumbfounded look on his face. A bright whitish and blue aura surrounded Kaze Zao's entire body. The countless cultivation books and scrolls Kaze Zao had read had come to play. He remembered reading about using dual cultivation as an offensive type attack by charging your own body with more Yang than Yin. To achieve this feat, Kaze Zao simply focused all his Ki-flowing energy into his heart and then dispersed the Ki evenly throughout his body. This type of technique was taboo because it would dangerously put substantial amounts of strain on the user's muscles and Charaka points to the limits of death.
Kazo Zao breathed heavily as he had used all his dual cultivation to its maximum output. It was insane that he even used dual cultivation without any Yin to balance his Yang. The only reason why he was still standing is because of his high stamina and willpower to survive. That and his insatiable hunger for bloodlust was keeping him focused and alert like a hawk when it swoops down from the cloudy skies to catch its clueless prey.
[Enemy disarmed! New cultivation art created]
+2 CE !
+ 2 KI !
+ 2 ATTK !
The white hair girl was shocked beyond belief, she had never seen any cultivator use dual cultivation as an offensive attack during a battle against three other stronger enemies.
"You dare mock me! How can some punk street rat like you disarm me by using a pathetic and weak art such as dual cultivation! Tai Chang fully sensed Kaze Zao's radiant and surging bluish aura energy which was a mix between calm and brutal.
"It's strange how things work out the way you want it to. Now I will be taking those spirit stones experience credits. Add in your battle-ax as well." Kaze Zao mocked the leader bandit as he waved his hands up and down in a fighting stance.
"You forgot one thing, so-called masked champion." Tai Chang points his stubby finger's forward.
*SWOOSH!* A large spear of jagged rocks sprung up behind Kaze Zao's back, he shifted his gaze at the earth elemental attack and slashed the rocky spears in half like butter with his katana. His aura and ki were at an apex state. "That was a close one." He breathed out as he slashed away more rock spears into rocky bits with agile and fluid movements.
"Watch out!" Shouts at the cultivator girl as she extends her hands ahead to warn Kaze Zao.
In a flash, more rock spears pierced his legs and arms, "Gaaaah!" Kaze Zao bellowed. "How didn't I see that attack!? Is there more than three bandits!?" His eyes scanned the area and only saw two bandits who were in front of him and one behind him who looked different. "Wait a second? Where is that leader bandit!-" Before he could speak or think, a battle-ax smashed up against his chest and stomach. Fresh blood splattered against nearby old oak trees that were entangled by thick wood vines.
"Aaaaaaah!" Kaze Zao coughed out blood and dropped his katana. He was outsmarted by a mere rouge cultivator. His ignorance and ego got the best of him. Tai Chang gripped and pulled up Kaze Zao's brown hair and stared him down in the eye with his wild tiger eyes. The rocky elemental spear attacks that were formed from his bandit comrades were a clear diversion that he fell for. He didn't factor in the speed of Tai Chang which was insanely fast for someone of his huge stature of 6,6ft and on top of that he was wearing metal armor that must have easily weighed 100 pounds! In Xiaeros even bandits were quite the powerful opponents to face.
[Tai Chang Lvl: 13] [Class: Rouge Cultivator] [Rank: Silver]
[ Cultivation Power: 150*]
"You know I don't kill the young, but you are the one exception. You should have handed over the girl." Tai Chang digs the ax blade deeper inside Kaze Zao's chest sending a shockwave of hellish pain throughout his veins and muscles. His blood was boiling like molten lava. How could he have lost to such a lowly bandit? The truth is, no matter how strong you think you are, there always a way to kill you. Even if you are immortal, Kaze Zao himself killed a Sky God by ripping out his heart from his bare chest. And now he was in the same situation.
[-35 HP Critical Hit! HP: 15/50]
[-10 Aura! Aura:10/20]
"Stop! Please don't kill him! Just take me!" Cries out the white-haired girl as she bolts out from the forest to protect Kaze Zao. "I wonder why I am even protecting this asshole after he held a sword at my neck," She snarled to herself.
"I am not sparring anyone's life today! Not after I lost my goddam fingers!"Tai Chang gripped the ax handle harder and finally went for the killing blow. Both of his hands pushed forward with all of his brutish strength.
"Stop!!!" She yells once more in a desperate tone, her feeble words didn't matter. There is no mercy for the weak.
"CRUSH!" The sounds of bones cracking filled the rainy skies.
"SPLAT!"
A fury of blood falls to the rainy ground below, a stream of red flows to the girl's combat black boots.
