Chapter 87: 87
While John was starting to run out of Qi reserves, Dylan's situation was much worse. He panted heavily as he did his best to defend his Crimson Hell Domain. His Qi expenditure was as frightening as John's Supreme Battle Art, and unlike John, he could only passively absorb Qi from the air to replenish his Qi reserves.
Although absorbing Qi from the air was much easier and guaranteed to always be available, its filling rate was much slower than John could do by directly absorbing the blood essence. Dylan's Qi expenditure was greater than his absorption rate, and therefore he was constantly running lower and lower on Qi, unlike John, who kept his dantian top and full of energy.
However, once John ran out of blood essence, he would become worse than Dylan, as he would have no way to replenish his body's Qi reserves until he obtained more blood essence. While he could absorb the Qi from the air into his Dantian essence like Dylan, his essence Dantian was still in the middle of the Fog Creation Realm, and could not help him much in this fight.
The exploding aura from John now frightened even the Core Formation elders. Not because of his strength, but because of his depth and his battle will. To them, it really looked like John was an invincible demon god, or at least his wish was to say that. They could tell from the aura of this battle alone, that John never imagined defeat in his mind. It was as if John was convinced that no matter who was against him, as long as they were in the same realm, he would remain invincible.
When John first used the Supreme Battle Aura against Dylan, he did that and it was alone. However, as the fight progresses, John is shocked to learn that he can slightly improve the art of battle. Using the Supreme Combat Art, and infusing his unshakable aura battle will into it, it strengthened him even further to his strongest battle condition. Although he had thought his original battle will was something intangible, John could now tell that it actually had some practical uses.
He could feel his emotions being thrown slightly into chaos as an evil mutter invaded his mind, but it was far from enough to flood him. However, the continuous assault did make his battle n*fsu increase massively, as did his blood n*fsu.
“Red Blood Sword!”
While John strengthened his Supreme Combat Art even further, Dylan decided to take the initiative and attack with his sword, sending a blood red sword light straight towards John. No one had seen Dylan use this move yet, but they knew it was his strongest Qi attack he had unleashed so far.
The explosion!
John attacked with his scythe on the incoming attack. The arena shook violently from the collision, and Dylan smiled once more as he watched John being thrown backwards due to the force of the attack, which was, but his smile soon disappears when he sees that it just drops John backwards, but doesn't hurt him badly. Although there were some injuries and wounds on John's body, it was far from blocking his fighting ability.
Bang out!
The stone arena under John exploded behind him as he pressed down on it with his strongest Five Step Movement technique. He appeared in front of Dylan in an instant, and swung him powerfully with his scythe. The sword and sickle collided, and Dylan was thrown backwards tens of meters from the collision.
Five-Step Movement Technique: Step Two
After landing, Dylan looked towards John to attack with his Crimson Blood Sword once more, but was horrified to see John right in front of him once more.
The peng!
The weapon collided once again, and Dylan was thrown backwards like a broken kite while his arm felt like it was about to disintegrate. He looked back and saw the edge of the arena quickly approaching, and did all he could to slow down his momentum before he was thrown off the stage.
Bang out!
The sound of bone cracking resounded as John's full-powered punch connected with Dylan's back. John had used the Third Step of the Five Step Movement Technique to appear behind Dylan and stop him before he fell from the arena.
Dylan was sent flying back into the middle of the fighting arena fiercely, and finally stopped after much effort. Dylan struggled to his feet after receiving John's full-powered punch directly, but eventually stood up and turned to face where John had been before.
The explosion!
John's punch once again landed on Dylan's back, and once again he was sent flying like a broken kite.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
The crowd watched in silence as Dylan was sent flying back and forth by John's punch. Every time Dylan was about to fly out of the arena, John would use his movement technique to cut him off and hit him back in the other direction. Dylan's Crimson Hell Domain had disappeared by this time, indicating that he was already at the end of it, while John was still brimming with energy.
The sound of broken bones continued to resound, and the speechless crowd was horrified to see Dylan continuously being broken by John, who appeared at this moment to look like a bloodthirsty demon. Even Cade and Barden looked on in shock as they watched the barely recognisable John constantly beating Dylan into bloody chaos.
Waylon Varis continued to use his heavenly wits to examine the battlefield, and noticed that Dylan had almost fainted. He watched John run straight towards Dylan with the intent to once again punch, and was about to stop the fight when an extremely loud shout exploded.
“LEAVE YOUR HAND!”
John ignored the loud shout and clenched his fist once again towards Dylan. Dylan was extremely ruthless in all his fights with the members of the Fenix Clan, so John countered them by bathing the arena red with Dylan's blood.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful Qi attack flew straight towards John. John looked towards the Qi attack and knew he had absolutely no chance of blocking it. In fact, he did not know if he would be able to survive such an attack even if he tried his hardest to defend against it.
The explosion!
The stone arena completely exploded, and all the elders in the stands used their full strength to protect their juniors from the flying debris. The explosion finally subsided, and the enchanted crowd looked towards the now-destroyed arena as the dust began to settle.
