A wave of hurried footsteps echoed out. There were about a couple dozen people from the sound of the footsteps. Quite a few of them should be wielding weapons. Heavy thuds could be heard when the weapons slammed to the ground.
Qin Fen weakly shook his head as he gently chuckled. It looked like competition in this Hell City was much more intense than he imagined. Merely asking to see the two villa masters had caused the other party to muster a large number of troops.
The firm and arrogant voice of a young man slowly resonated through the hall."Open the door, Flying Monkey! We of the Thunder Mountain Villa can be defeated, but we will never have our courage beaten out of us."
A hint of praise more or less flashed in Qin Fen's eyes. The man should be young from the sound of his voice, but a bit of grandeur was contained within his words.
The two sides of the door slowly opened at the same time, and Qin Fen saw two young men standing in the middle of the hall. His eyes lit up once more, while Zhang Xiangyang and his other comrades beside him whispered cries of shock, "Huh?"
The external appearances of these two men were like their names. Fire and water were two extremes, and their figures were one tall and skinny—as if a mere gust of wind could knock him over—and one short and stout— so short that if one were to press down on him during a fight using one's body, he wouldn't become any shorter.
"You two should be the villa masters around here, right?" Qin Fen looked at the thunder pair of fire and water with a level gaze. He didn't even look at the devils and monsters standing on the two sides in the villa. Qin Fen took large strides into the mountain villa and cupped his hands in greeting once more."Dragon Hall. Thirty-Six Hours."
"Dragon Hall?"
The thunder pair of fire and water had their eyes go blank for a moment. What sect was the Dragon Hall? They had never heard of it.
"Thirty-Six Hours?"
The two young men with blank expressions suddenly had their eyes radiate with understanding. They spoke in unison."You're that guy who'd go chasing money in death?"
Go chasing money in death? Qin Fen was stunned for a moment before he recalled the fame he received for striving to make money. These days he had quite a bit of reputation in the Sky Battle Net.
This was especially true for the four-star level and lower. The ID Thirty-Six Hours was more famous than several of experts ranked in the top one hundred.
Qin Fen didn't even respond, and even the two Villa Master of Thunder Mountain Villa instantly became nervous and on guard."What have you come here for?"
Qin Fen was stunned once more. These two young men had been quite grand and imposing just now. Why did they become so cautious in the mere blink of an eye?
Then Qin Fen heard comments come from the other members of the Thunder Mountain Villa.
"So you're that Thirty-Six Hours, eh?"
"Hiding his face. It looks like this guy's up to no good."
"Don't talk nonsense. He's just a money-sucking vampire. Be careful that you don't catch his eye."
"Yeah, that's right. That's right. I heard that every time he disappears and reappears, he will rake in crazy money. He's been gone for quite a while before reappearing this time around."
Qin Fen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He never thought that rumors now talked about him like a severe flood or fierce beast, something extremely dangerous, while he was gone from the network for the past few days.
"Villa Masters, I have come here to pay a visit. I wish to ask you two for a sign."
"A sect-challenge?" The eyebrows of the two villa masters shot up at the same time."I never thought that you've extended your schemes of making money all the way here to the main battle network!"
"I think that you two may have a bit of a misunderstanding." Qin Fen took half a step back, indicating that he had no intention of doing a sect-challenge."I didn't come here to challenge your sect. Three days ago, the Dragon Hall I founded had its sign taken down by the Certain Victory Sect. I only came to know of this matter today, so I hurried to the Certain Victory Sect only to find out that they no longer have their sign as well. Only after asking around did I find out that the signs made their way to the Thunder Mountain Villa."
"Ohhhhh."
Aqua Thunder and Fiery Thunder's expressions changed. Their precautions turned to complacency. The money-sucking vampire had actually come to ask for his sign back. This was far too great! A chance to become famous suddenly dropped down from the sky!
Currently, Thirty-Six Hours had considerable fame within the battle network. If the Thunder Mountain Villa could cheat this money-sucking vampire, the Thirty-Six Hours would become a fiery hit. Quite a few people who possessed quite a bit of hatred for Thirty-Six Hours would come here to seek shelter.
As a result, the number of members of their organization would quickly increase and expand. Once they reached a certain level in number, they wouldn't need to be afraid of matters such as the sect-challenge! They could become a five-thousand member organization! Aside from a top-notch expert, who could defeat all five-thousand members in a sect-challenge? Even if a meteor level expert came, such a person would die from exhaustion going through all these people!
Qin Fen watched the two and their gradually changing expressions. The psychology that Squad Leader Hao had taught him quickly analyzed this, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art had already begun to slowly compress the moment Qin Fen received his answer.
"Thirty-Six Hours. If we give you the sign just because you want it, how can we of the Thunder Mountain Villa still have a footing on this street in the future?"
"That's right! The Certain Victory Sect took down your Dragon Hall. We took revenge for you. This counts as a sort of favor. Yet you came here this time without bringing any gifts? Then that sign itself can be the gift."
"Brother Aqua, why are you being like this? If Thirty-Six Hours is willing to come up with five thousand bucks to buy back his sign, I will still entertain the thought."
"Five thousand? That's a bit low, don't you think? Should we be collecting a safekeeping fee?"
Qin Fen smiled and shook his head over and over when he heard the provocations of the two villa masters of aqua and fiery thunder. Qin Fen had come here in a polite visit, hoping to receive his sign. He never thought others would treat him like a pushover, someone to play around with. They clearly wanted to fight, so Qin Fen will fight! It was quite opportune too. Qin Fen really wanted to gain firsthand knowledge and experience of the rumored Descending Mind Strike.
"If you two don't return my sign, I have no choice but to beat your sect in a sect-challenge." Qin Fen pulled out a fighting stance."Rumor has it that the Descending Mind Strike is a neo martial art that utilizes hypnotism to engage in the hypnosis of the mind. I am quite fortunate to be able to experience it for myself today."
The two villa masters of water and fire smiled in unison before suddenly lowering their heads, clapping their hands together, and stomping the ground. The mental hypnosis system implanted in their body via surgery quickly activated. A scroll of the "Journey to the West" with the image of Sun Wukong the Monkey King appeared and unfurled in the mind of the tall and skinny Aqua Thunder, while pages of the "Journey to the West" with scenes of Nezha the Third Lotus Prince flashed in the mind of the short and stout Fiery Thunder.
The aura surrounding their bodies change in a flash!
A pair of triangles appeared in the eyes of Aqua Thunder, and his eyes spun crazily without end. His two hands grabbed his ears and scratched his cheeks as he hopped up and down, looking remarkably like money.
The short and stout man's eyes radiated with courage. He had a child-like appearance to him now, looking completely different from his mature self a moment ago. He only treaded a single step forward but he crossed a distance of five meters in this single leap of a step in an incomparably smooth manner. It was truly as if his feet treaded on the wind-fire wheels of legend.
Zhang Xiangyang and the others were simultaneously shocked. The villa masters of the Thunder Mountain Villa were far too shameless. They were actually going to fight two against one with Qin Fen!
"Okay!"
Qin Fen's nerves were suddenly excited to unprecedented levels. He never truly experienced a one against two in a four-star level fight. He wanted to see just how strong this neo martial art was with its utilization of hypnotism.
Qin Fen's "Okay" was unleashed with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. The sound nearly approached that of a small grenade exploding.
The sound waves and the true energy of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art resonated with each other. Qin Fen felt a sensation of pleasure reverberate through his entire body. His right leg stomped on the ground, welcoming Fiery Thunder's Nezha Fist that came leaping onto him.
This single step stupefied all the members of Thunder Mountain Villa surrounding and watching them. The earth beneath his feet actually trembled slightly, and in this instant, Qin Fen was already upon Fiery Thunder!
Fiery Thunder, who was in a hypnotized state, didn't reveal the same shock as the other members of his villa. The joints of his fingers crackled in crisp waves, stretching out his palms in a doubling of explosive power. His hands were akin to the rending claws of a devil from hell. One hand clawed toward Qin Fen's throat, while the other hand targeted the wrist joint that Qin Fen was using to unleash the Tiger Rise.
This claw strike was akin to the strike of five daggers. The claw split apart the air, causing it to scream. Qin Fen's arm sprung up, and his sleeve flapped as it collided with the downward air pressure. It seemed as if the air itself was going to cut off his arm.
This claw strike under the power of hypnotism had actually reached this level of firmness, sharpness, and ferocity!
A hint of excitement seeped through the smile on Qin Fen's lips as he faced the vicious move. His body edged forward, his arm raised, and he smashed with an iron fist, ferociously striking Fiery Thunder's palm.
Bang! The fist and palm collided, generating a blast of air nearly visible to the naked eye. The sleeves of the two men's clothing tore at several places from the onslaught of power and the blast of air.
Fiery Thunder's strike—Third Lotus Prince Rips Out the Dragon's Spine—was smashed by Qin Fen's Tiger Rise. Fiery Thunder's body trembled a moment before flying backward in the air. Next to him, Aqua Thunder was already upon Qin Fen's flank. It was as if he had gone completely mad. Afterimages of his two palms grew in number as he made underhanded kicks over and over. Even his body came ramming toward Qin Fen like a shield.
The Great Sage Fist's Wreak Havoc in Heaven!
Just as how the Monkey King was wild and energetic in the story "Monkey Wreaks Havoc in Heaven", Aqua Thunder completely displayed the same wild energy right here and right now. He was just like a brutish monkey behaving atrociously all over the place.
Qin Fen drew in a sharp breath when he glanced and saw his opponent approach. Under the propulsion of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, thick green veins leaped out on the surface of his arm, and it simply became a metal rod fresh from the coals of the furnace.
The shadow of Qin Fen's Flowing Whipstrike covered Fiery Thunder, and Qin Fen's attack came lashing over.
This Flowing Whipstrike of Qin Fen's was displayed to its pinnacle thanks to his recent days of training regarding the control of power. Practically all aspects of the power became completely entwined and focused together. Even Butcher would yell in exclamation if he were here to see it. The number of rocks that flew in the air from Qin Fen's stepping strike was one-fifth of his normal number!
His arm was just like the toppled pillar that was Mount Buzhou in ancient Chinese legend! Even if Sun Wukong the Monkey King was able to move the 1350 pound golden cudgel as he pleased, Sun Wukong the Monkey King would not be able to lift Mount Buzhou!
Bang!
A giant tremor ran through the crazy monkey's body, causing the monkey to become frightened in an instant. A creaking sound rang out as the power of the whip strike was fully unleashed during the standoff! The monkey's entire arm started to twitch and shiver uncontrollably.
Like hell would Qin Fen let this opportunity escape his grasp. He executed the Arhat Cloud Walk with his feat and quickly pursued him. His left arm unleashed another lashing of the Flowing Whipstrike.
Aqua Thunder had turned completely into a frightened monkey. His body bounced and hopped up and down like crazy, like the nimblest of apes and monkeys on a mountain.
Qin Fen's second Flowing Whipstrike didn't land on Aqua Thunder. His original plan was to pressurize to two-times power with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, something he had yet to do in this fight, and simply kill his opponent in a surprise attack. Yet, he saw that Aqua Thunder's movement techniques were extremely strange. His mind suddenly flashed with the in-development ultimate move that Vile King talked about back in the day, and his hand slowed slightly in the execution of the attack. However, the pressure didn't lessen at all for his opponent.
At the side, Fiery Thunder finally recovered from the hard clash with his shoulder a moment earlier. He made a loud roar as he leaped upon Qin Fen, and at practically the same time, Aqua Thunder stopped retreating. Aqua Thunder took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.
The pressurization was completed, and Qin Fen stopped hoarding the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, which he had yet to utilize so far. His two feet heavily stomped the ground, and he completely disregarded any thought of controlling his power. He simply allowed all his power to explode forth.
Three men were entangled in this fight, yet a mere touch sent Fiery Thunder flying out a dozen meters before heavily smashing into the wall.
