Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 200 Formidable Enemy

A gentle evening breeze rustled the leaves in the woods.

Qin Xiaochuan clenched his fists tightly. "Before you say any of that," he said in a deep voice, "shouldn't you defeat me first?"

After saying that, he leaped up from the ground and threw a left hook at the man. As the man disappeared from sight, he swept a whip kick behind him. After the man blocked the whip kick with his hand, he also released his "Explosive Flame Dance" skill.

"Boom!" The explosion at such close range even sent Qin Xiaochuan flying.

"Are you crazy?" The man had clearly lost his composure, yet the close-range explosion hadn't left a single mark on him. "Are you trying to commit suicide with this kind of fighting?"

"Because I want to tell you—" Qin Xiaochuan looked at the other person coldly, "Don't interfere in other people's lives. Even if I die, it's my own decision."

The man seemed to be re-evaluating the boy before him, and after a moment he said, "Very good, you have earned my approval." He then formed a hand seal as he said, "Now, let me measure the extent of your abilities."

The man muttered a spell, and Qin Xiaochuan saw a layer of cyan spiritual energy rise from his body. Then, he flashed and rushed towards Qin Xiaochuan, throwing a punch at him. Qin Xiaochuan could see cyan spiritual energy flowing on his fist.

Without fully understanding his opponent's strength, Qin Xiaochuan did not choose to confront him head-on. However, close combat was also what he desired, so he simply dodged the opponent's attack by sidestepping and then fought with him using physical techniques.

Although Qin Xiaochuan had been practicing physical skills for some time, and the improvement of his spiritual power had greatly enhanced his physical abilities, the time was still relatively short, and he had not yet fully mastered many techniques.

Compared to the unfathomable man before her, she was worlds apart, so she was at a disadvantage from the start and could only rely on the defensive capabilities of the Qilin Armor to withstand attack after attack.

"Too slow!" The man punched Qin Xiaochuan in the stomach. "Too weak!" He then kicked Qin Xiaochuan away with a roundhouse kick. "Completely chaotic!" He then kicked Qin Xiaochuan away. "Full of openings!" Finally, he slapped him in the chest.

Qin Xiaochuan was sent flying like a cannonball and crashed into a big tree.

"Bang!" The tree snapped and crashed to the ground, startling a flock of birds into flight.

"Is this the confidence you have to spout those big words?" The man coldly stared at Qin Xiaochuan, who was slumped beside the tree root. "It seems that's all there is to it. In the face of absolute power, it's nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

"I already said you'd wait until you defeat me before spouting any more nonsense." Qin Xiaochuan looked at the man with a cold smile. "So far, your attacks have been completely ineffective."

"You're asking for death!" the man roared, rushing to Qin Xiaochuan's side. Just as he was about to deliver a chop to Qin Xiaochuan's neck, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly threw out a talisman. A dazzling white light burst forth before his eyes, causing him to be temporarily blinded by the intense light.

Qin Xiaochuan also leaped up from the ground, and a giant earth embrace was released beneath the man's feet. However, before the giant hand could grab the man, he disappeared from the spot and reappeared next to another big tree.

Qin Xiaochuan raised his sword finger in front of his chest and shouted "Go!" Instantly, countless fine threads emerged from the ground and wrapped around the man's limbs.

The man looked surprised, and before he could react, Qin Xiaochuan's Blazing Dance exploded right in front of him.

After all this, Qin Xiaochuan felt like his whole body was about to fall apart from the pain. The series of attacks the man had just given him were no joke.

Finally, he couldn't help but collapse to the ground, panting heavily.

"When did you set up these traps?" The man's cold voice suddenly appeared behind him.

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback. Before he could get up, several vines as thick as an arm suddenly sprouted from the ground and locked his limbs firmly to the ground.

"Of course, it was during close combat with you, otherwise you think I let you beat me up for nothing?" Qin Xiaochuan said defiantly.

"Then how did you predict where I would dodge?" the man asked again.

"No matter where you hide, I will catch you." Qin Xiaochuan said with a sneer. Although he had been defeated, he had fought hard and did not feel any regret.

"What do you mean?" The man looked around and realized that the area within a five-meter radius of where the two of them were located was covered with tiny iron pillars. These were spiritual tools used by ability users to create traps, similar to talismans. Some C-level skills were inscribed on the iron pillars in advance, which could be triggered by human intervention or other means.

"I admit you do have some skill," the man said seriously. "Unfortunately, absolute power is futile, and my mission this time is to take care of you." After saying that, he raised his hand to chop Qin Xiaochuan again.

"Wooden Prison Technique!" A clear shout suddenly rang out from behind the man, followed by countless vines growing from his feet, instantly enveloping him like a cocoon.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan didn't hesitate at all. A ball of flame ignited on the vines on his arm, and with a strong struggle, he broke free from the control. He quickly formed several hand seals and released a skill.

"Holy Flame Baptism." The enormous pillar of fire instantly engulfed the wooden cocoon in front of it, and the huge flames illuminated almost the entire back mountain.

Qin Xiaochuan didn't have time to admire his victory. He darted behind the flames in a few steps, where Guo Shiyi was looking at him, still shaken.

"Why are you here?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, both delighted and somewhat worried.

"I just happened to stop by to see what you were doing," Guo Shiyi answered evasively. "Who is he?"

"I don't know. They're probably with the same group of mechs as last time. They're very strong; we're no match for them. Let's get out of here quickly."

"He's not dead yet?" Guo Shiyi asked in surprise.

"It's not that easy." Qin Xiaochuan glanced at the burning flames. "Anyway, let's get out of here quickly." After saying that, he grabbed Guo Shiyi's hand and started to leave.

"You've got some self-awareness, kid. I didn't expect even you, girl, to come. That saves me the trouble of looking for you." The man's voice came from the flames.

As his voice fell, the raging fire split in two, and the man slowly emerged from the flames. His clothes were intact, and the fire seemed to have had no effect on him whatsoever.

Using his clairvoyance, Qin Xiaochuan could see a light blue spiritual energy shield around the man, completely isolating him from the flames.
