The Heavenly Road: God Hunters
Ch62 Martial Arts Tournament Finals
"Shishi...!! Found him.."
A black-robed man laughed softly as he muttered looking up at the arena. Without anyone noticing the glare of his sharp, red-flamed eyes. The man descended from the audience and left the arena.
"It looks like the Princess will also have an equally strong opponent in the future. Shishi..!!! Don't expect you to be able to protect him." with a cynical smile the man flicked his robe and left Hansu city.

"Sit. Didn't I warn you guys to stay relaxed enjoying the match. Don't look for trouble at times like this" Fujan Daru warned Rai and Misaki to stay relaxed.
"It seems that I know the sword he is holding. It was almost like the Night Demon sword forged by the legendary Dark Fire God Flares. What might that sword be, but why is it in his hand, doesn't it belong to the Demon Hunt Lord," Lao Kuang watched the sword closely then compared it to the 2 swords on Hao Ryun's back.
"Not just the one he was holding, that sword that was in Hao Chen's hand was also the sword that belonged to the Demon Hunt Lord. You must know the rumors of the flying sword of the demon exterminator that is his sword" Liang Wen said
"Being able to obtain the demon sword seemed like they were on good terms with him, judging from the attitude of the two of them during the match I also found a familiarity between the two of them. That Asta seems to have a lot of secrets,"
Misaki and Rai broke out in cold sweat hearing the remark coming out of Yu Zhao's mouth.
"Let's just let them compete fairly for what we keep talking about them" Rai said.

Hao Ryun had the nickname as the Demon Hunt Lord who was famous for hating the Demon Race so much for always oppressing the Human Race at will.
Hao Ryun had 7 Divine Spirit Demon Swords with him, the Night Devil and the Sky Devil were two swords of his seven swords.

The match full of enthusiastic cheers began. With the spirit of Asta lunging forward to the front of his punch was hit by the sword. Asta swung his sword towards Hao Chen and quickly the sword turned around to block his attack. Hao Chen leaped backwards away from Asta's attack range.
"It was in vain that my father gave it to you Asta..!!! Haha...!!"
Hao Chen's attitude suddenly changed. He looked very excited and crazy in the fight. After escaping from his attacking range Hao Chen threw his terata.
Asta jumped back not avoiding the lotus, the lotus pierced through his body and passed him just like that.
"Heavenly Book of Dark Fire Gods, Light-Eating Fire"
Asta thought it was useless to hide his ability when dealing with Hao Chen who could dodge his attack tactics. Added with the sword that protects him is not easy for him to be able to attack.
Hao Chen was shocked when he saw the change to Asta, any physical attack was as useless as it was and passed him by just like that.
Asta attacked again but quickly the sword turned around trying to block him. At a moment Asta was only a few inches away from the sword, his body turned into fire through the sword. Asta slashed his sword towards Hao Chen.
Chen turned his terrace into a shield to block the attack. From behind the sky demon sword flying towards him, Asta threw his sword up and turned into fire. The sword struck the shield Chen created to block Asta's attack.
From behind Asta re-united and took his sword quickly he gave an attack on Chen's back with the hilt of the night demon sword.
Hao Chen fell to the floor with fresh blood flowing from his mouth. Chen coughed at the attack despite the simple but stored energy of his spirit and spirit so as to inflict a hefty wound on him.
Now Hao Chen knew why Asta was not wearing the claws he used to wear.
It didn't stop until Asta turned his sword and thrust it at Chen. Everyone's heart stopped for a moment to look at Asta who was about to thrust out his sword. But Asta smiled the flying sword moves faster than him and blocked his attack. Asta has calculated everything.
The spectators breathed a sigh of relief as the attack did not succeed in stabbing Hao Chen.
Chen immediately got up and rebalanced his body, this time it was his turn to attack with full force. Facing the challenge Asta certainly can not fight Chen and his sword at once Asta issued a dark sky sword and blocked the attack from both sides.
"Spirit Techniques, Fires of Burning"
Asta used a smoldering slash at once with his two swords making his spirit consumption increase than usual.
The sword that Chen made from his terrace shattered upon coming into direct contact with him, but in contrast to the sky demon sword which was an asta attack divine spirit artifact did not manage to scratch the sword at all.
After removing the sword and keeping it away Asta focused on giving Chen an attack. Chen crashed backwards after blocking the attack using his shield.
Seeing Asta's ability to be immune to all physical attacks made Chen unable to use the heavenly lotus blast rashly. Although the attack is strong but not necessarily will have an effect on him.
Chen lowered his head avoiding the smoldering slash, Asta threw the attack at him while he tried to brush off the sky demon sword first.
Chen rejoined the fight with his sword against Asta, this time Chen was more and more vigilant in dealing with it. After the long clash Asta was thrown in one direction, he could not resist the combined attack.
Although physical attacks are not effective but if Chen and his sword are constantly attacking him in a continuous way it will still make Asta overwhelmed. Because when he turns himself into fire every time he must also release his sword. His strength was still not enough to influence the sword to turn into fire.
Seeing Chen and his sword did not give him any time at all Asta hurriedly transformed into the form of the God Wolf.
"Perfect Transformation, The Wolf of God"
A blink of an eye then Asta disappeared from sight and appeared behind Chen swinging the night demon sword at his back.
Chen slumped to the floor with a slash wound on his back, hastily taking Asta's body and bringing him to the edge of the arena. But Chen's body was not yet attached to the floor outside the arena a wing emerged from his back. Chen flew over the arena.
"Perfect Transformation, True Dragon"
The flapping of its wings blew away the dust in the arena creating such a powerful wind wave.
"I don't think I'll ever use it here. But what can make my power was not enough to defeat Asta's brother without transformation,"
Chen drew the sky demon sword into his hand, now he was back to attack. Asta smiled faintly to welcome his attack.
Asta blocked Chen's sword slash, unexpectedly Chen was able to infuse his ethereal power into the sky demon sword to compensate for his smoldering slash.
With the ability of the Divine Wolf Asta's sensory divine Being able to read every movement of Chen with a single look, hear, smell and feel his aura.
On the other hand the ability of a True Dragon has not only one ability. Every true dragon is born with a different spirit essence but certainly their spirit abilities are the same namely the Intimidation of the Dragon Soul and Dragon Breath.
Asta leaped back to take some distance and gave a smoldering slash attack from a distance. With the sky demon sword also Chen fended off the entire smoldering slash energy easily.
Asta ran up and jumped up to Chen and did a vertical slash from the top of his head. The audience shouted hysterically again Asta gave a very dangerous attack and could kill.
Chen activated his dragon soul intimidation instantly for the sake of shaking Asta's balance. Sure enough his attack misses he also fell from above to the floor.
Chen swung his sword towards Asta in a hurry he rolled to the side avoiding the attack.
Chen did not let go just like that he returned to attack him repeatedly. The arena had begun to be damaged by the sword attacks of the two of them all along.
Asta did not just roll around in the arena and immediately rose again to fight with Chen. Asta did not hesitate anymore, he hastily activated the flames of war to suppress the wasteful consumption of his spirit. Coupled with the combined aura technique that Asta deliberately activated in order to withstand the side effects of using the night demon sword for too long.
Chen sighed in surprise to see Asta who also had a technique that could fight the intimidation of the dragon soul. The clash between Asta's aura and intimidation created a strong wind.
Now Asta can breathe a little relieved because in spite of the restraints of intimidation of the dragon soul Hao Chen by releasing all his fighting techniques. Asta was not worried about his energy consumption so much with his battle fire spirit techniques that turned his fighting spirit into alternative energy but not his soul power.
Although using two swords made him have some advantages but Asta chose to put a dark sky into his ring. It was for the sake of reducing the side effects of the sword aura that gradually drained his soul.
Asta dashed around towards Chen's back giving a twisting slash attack just like his teacher had last night taught but quickly also Chen placed his sword against his back to block the attack.
Asta threw his sword over Chen's head, he pierced through Chen's body then took back his sword and gave a vertical attack on his chest.
Chen was lucky to have a true dragon animal spirit that had defensive vitality and rapid cell regeneration so that the slash wound was not too deep and put his life at risk. Even so, Chen still felt tremendous pain not only as a night demon sword divine spirit artifact as well as in the flow of smoldering slashes that made his attack very deadly.
Asta jumped backwards away from his attack range. Chen spewed out fresh blood again from his mouth. The previous wound had indeed recovered but now he had to receive another attack.

"His strength is no longer within my reach. Attacks and strategy tactics in play was not just attacking. He's very well trained. Actually what happened to you all this time my friend pushed you beyond me very quickly. You're a real genius, really,"

Beside the arena Kenshin smiled proudly watching Asta match with Hao Chen who walked so fiercely. But behind the proud smile is stored a disappointment and helplessness himself. The figure of Asta who used to be no stronger than him was now far beyond his strength while he was still in the same places.
Kenshin only regretted his decision as to why he did not go along with him to leave the sect sooner. However space and time he could not change back to the past, leaving only deep disappointment and regret in his heart.

'Shall-! My soul-! My soul-! Ah-h!!'
When he had just given a heavy attack on Hao Chen and could defeat him while Chen was recovering his soul was no longer able to withstand the sword aura.
Looking at Asta who was just silent at the place where Chen had hurriedly recuperated, after finishing he also returned to advance towards Asta.
As powerful as Asta tried to defend his soul and keep fighting. But the damage to his soul was no longer something he could deal with. A moment before the sky demon sword touched him the entire Asta fighting technique was gone as well as his transformation. He spewed fresh blood from his mouth.
"Uhuk-!! Fuck-fuck!! Why now!!"
"Asta you?!!"
Hao Chen was no longer able to stop his sword in time he only wished for someone to come and stop his sword in time before it hit Asta.
"Tranggg..!!"
"Son, you seem to be too excited about this fight,"
"If you dare attack my son any further, I'll cut your head off,"
In the blink of an eye Misaki and Rai who had transformed into the form of the Wolf of Gods stopped Hao Chen's sword which was almost about Asta who was no longer able to fight.
"I-i... Ma-manager.please. pa-call.di.."
"Let's just relax I'm here," the manager appeared next to him and held him unconscious.
"Indeed who would dare to kill my son before my eyes," the other figure that appeared abruptly above the arena was Hao Ryun. He pointed his two swords at Misaki and Rai Ken's heads simultaneously.
"What..!!! Son...!!!!!"
Instantly the arena was boisterous because Hao Ryun announced Hao Chen's identity as his son. Rai did not escape and Misaki was surprised to hear it.
"Dad, can you calm down a little. This was just a misunderstanding," Hao Chen let go of his entire fighting technique and persuaded Hao Ryun not to do anything that could mess up the tournament.
Hao Ryun was silent for a moment before the Arkhan Emperor came down to the arena intending to persuade him not to make a fuss.
"Haha...!!! You guys are so funny...!! Ahaha...!! Relax, relax. It's just a joke why are your faces so panicked, Hahahahaa...!!!" Hao Ryun laughed heartily at the facial expressions of everyone who thought he was going to make a fuss over the arena.
"It's useless that I'm worried that Big Brother will mess up this tournament, I should have realized that Big Brother Hao was just joking around and making a fuss. Damn why also I forgot the habits of this brother," said Emperor Arkhan put on an annoyed face on the other hand Manager Row just chuckled to see it he had expected it from the beginning.
"Hey, sister, calm down. I'm sorry, I just really can't make a joke when I see you guys being so easy to panic about. Hahahaha.." she said and laughed.
"I know who you are and what your relationship is with him. You are his parents while he is the savior of my son, Hao Chen. If I kill you guys, I'm not a person who doesn't know how to return the favor" Hao Ryun continued, still unable to hold back his laughter.
The audience was surprised by the truth. Hao Chen who is the son of Hao Ryun the Demon Hunt Lord, while Asta who is part of the Manager Row Association is the son of the couple Rai and Misaki. In an instant the tense atmosphere turned into an atmosphere full of disbelief.
Hao Chen was speechless at his father's familiarity with the two people he hated for not helping them and his father in distress. Not only the Manager and the Emperor both but he also hated the figure known as the Demon Hunt Lord who thought the three of them who had great strength had never helped him at all.
Now after knowing the truth, his hatred disappeared, as a brother certainly would not let his sister in danger. That was the real experience he felt. He regretted hating the three of them a little and had once intended to finish them off one day, because one of them was his own father, Hao Ryun the Demon Hunt Lord.
