Chapter 744: Chapter 639: Defeat, Defeat, Defeat! (Part 2)
This punch was accompanied by a strong Qi Blood Power.
Qin An didn’t mind using Qi Blood Power now, as he had enough demonic reserves already carried with him on the way here.
The sounds of two booming forces intersected, causing Jian Wuming and Zhao Baizhan to both take a step back.
Qin An, however, slid a considerable distance back.
Jian Wuming’s expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently, "Not bad, using this Secret Technique, it’s indeed superior among those of the same realm, but still far from enough."
He didn’t say much else. This time, the sword he thrust out was faster than before.
Not only that, but the sword also gleamed with the brilliance of the scorching sun, as if millions of sharp spikes were attached to it.
The sword path he cultivated was the extreme offensive sword, every thrust carrying with it Sword Qi capable of slashing the heavens and splitting the earth.
Jian Wuming knew very well that after Qin An swung his blade just now, the Three Blades Unification Secret Skill he used would be extremely difficult to deploy again.
But Qin An was not in a hurry and simply threw out the Cold Star.
And at the moment when the Cold Star was thrown, the corners of Jian Wuming’s mouth bore a trace of a sneer.
"I’ve witnessed your prowess at controlling a long blade in mid-air. If I were to face it alone, it would indeed require significant effort, but your mistake was engaging two opponents at once."
"While I’m focusing on handling your blade intent, you are continuously distracted by control, and cannot fully confront Mr. Zhao over there."
Zhao Baizhan didn’t speak, just wielded his long spear, launching fiery sweeps towards Qin An.
Qin An remained calm, suddenly saying, "Reincarnation, take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure emerged from the previously empty spot behind the long blade.
The moment Reincarnation appeared, she lifted her fair hand to grasp the handle, then displayed Qin An’s Blade Skill to its utmost.
She and Qin An were already connected in spirit, and being the spirituality of the Cold Star, it was entirely normal for her to know Qin An’s Blade Skill.
Moreover, since Reincarnation could handle the Cold Star, she could unreservedly use the Three Blades Unification Secret Skill continuously.
The appearance of Reincarnation widened the eyes of everyone present.
They couldn’t believe Qin An still had such a trump card unused.
Jian Wuming felt immense pressure.
Because at that moment, Reincarnation struck several blades, each carrying the power of Three Blades Unite, the pressure much greater than what Qin An brought upon him.
Seeing this, Jian Wuming shouted, "Sword Heart Clear!"
With no other options, he also used a Secret Technique.
This Secret Technique was a very powerful method of the Celestial Dao Sword Sect, allowing the Sword Heart to become clear when executed, with each sword tinged with the essence of the Dao, full of killing intent.
A series of intersecting clashes and booming sounds arose.
At this moment, Jian Wuming was engaging with Reincarnation, seemingly evenly matched, but the Sword Heart Clear Secret Technique of Jian Wuming had already gained a slight upper hand.
On the other side, Zhao Baizhan’s long spear had already swept across.
He didn’t care about Jian Wuming’s circumstances, only wanting to defeat Qin An.
Though they both attacked together, Zhao Baizhan knew whoever first defeated Qin An would gain more advantage in this battle.
So now, with Jian Wuming being suppressed by that inexplicably appearing woman, his opportunity had come.
Qin An looked at the sweeping long spear, his expression unchanged, then raised his fists.
The fists were imbued with dense Qi Blood Power.
Qin An pushed the Qi Blood in his Fist Skill to the limit, fiercely clashing against Zhao Baizhan’s long spear.
The two sides exchanged tens of moves in a short period, the aftermath from the booming sounds nearly causing the onlookers to lose their footing.
"Good, good, good, what a joy! What a joy!" Zhao Baizhan shouted with a satisfied expression, "Aside from you, in that army, there’s no one else who could make me fight with such joy, but it’s a pity that our positions differ, today you’re bound to lose!"
Zhao Baizhan felt that today’s Qin An was indeed strong enough to treat as an equal opponent, but only that.
No matter how strong his Qi Blood Power was, what difference did it make?
His spear had long been practiced to a smooth and effortless level, fully capable of handling Qin An’s attacks.
Zhao Baizhan sped up the swings of his long spear.
He intended to defeat Qin An swiftly.
By then, his role in this battle would be even greater, and the Prince’s prestige would grow much larger.
While thinking this, Zhao Baizhan glimpsed Qin An’s faintly mocking smile, seeming to laugh at his hubris.
For Zhao Baizhan to have thrived in the army for so long, and to have gained the Prince’s favor among many others, there were certainly reasons.
He not only possessed great strength but also had extremely rich battle experience.
In an instant, he comprehended Qin An’s intention.
He had a backup plan!
Startled, Zhao Baizhan suddenly saw Qin An disappearing in front of him.
"Such fast Body Technique! That’s not right; when he fought those others before, his Body Technique wasn’t this fast. How, in such a short time, did he refine it to this level?"
Zhao Baizhan’s heart was filled with an intense sense of unease.
He hadn’t anticipated that after learning all about Qin An, Qin An could still surprise him with something new.
This Body Technique was entirely at the level of the Unity Realm, yet Qin An had clearly honed his Blade Skill and Fist Skill to such an extent, so how did he manage to also elevate his Body Technique to this level in a mere ten days?
Despite his doubts, Zhao Baizhan didn’t dwell on it at the moment.
He felt a gust of wind from behind, accompanied by scalding Qi Blood Power.
With a roar, Zhao Baizhan lifted his spear to sweep towards his rear.
This was done hurriedly, leaving the spear’s force weakened somewhat.
But Zhao Baizhan thought Qin An would certainly retreat, after all, even if this strike was weaker than before, it was still enough to severely injure or even send Qin An flying.
However, next, the surroundings erupted with gasps of alarm.
Zhao Baizhan didn’t know what happened behind him, but the spear had already made contact with Qin An.
Through the spear, Zhao Baizhan felt the sensation of the contact point, and his heart was filled with shock beyond words.
"Why isn’t he defending? Could it be he wants a mutual defeat?
"But even if he defeats me, how will he, severely wounded, face Jian Wuming?"
As he pondered, the spear’s shaft transmitted a massive rebound force.
Zhao Baizhan turned around only to witness a terrifying scene.
He saw a colorless Dharma Aspect rising from Qin An, with a shimmering light within stopping the spear.
The Dharma Aspect developed cracks like a spider web, poised to shatter at any moment, yet it indeed managed to stop his spear.
"Not good!"
A thought welled up in Zhao Baizhan’s heart.
He knew if Qin An could stop his spear with just this Dharma Aspect, Qin An’s hands would be able to move freely.
Sure enough, as soon as this thought arose, Qin An’s fists, laden with Qi Blood Power, violently barreled towards him.
Zhao Baizhan, in a critical moment, shouted and hurriedly placed the spear horizontally against his chest.
"Boom──"
The fists struck the spear, the force traveling through the spear, spreading across his entire body.
The intense pain followed.
Zhao Baizhan was overwhelmed by the Qi Blood Power, sent flying backwards, crashing massively to the ground, blood spewing freely.
As he tried to rise, he heard a chilling voice by his ear.
"You’ve already lost, I showed mercy."
"If you’re unwilling to concede, you’ll die, and I’ll personally take your head."
At these words, Zhao Baizhan gave a bitter smile and abandoned resistance.
He lay on the ground, his face full of helplessness.
"I lost, Mr. Qin’s skills are superior, I admit defeat."
He couldn’t refuse; he was now gravely injured, utterly incapable of counterattack.
Qin An didn’t respond, instead directing his gaze towards Jian Wuming, still locked in combat with Reincarnation, and then slowly stepped forward.
"There’s one left; next... it’s time for me to clear all obstacles."
