Chapter 154: Chapter 154- [Sacrificial Gambit]

"W-W-What kind of battle skill is that? To turn someone into ashes in an instant" the other bandit leader asked while stammering in fear.

"I don’t know... I don’t... I have never seen a sword or any battle skill like that. To possess such extraordinary means, no wonder he placed first in the entrance test of the Holy Orchard Academy"

Zhang Fei muttered, his face ashen. Although he guessed that he would have to expend quite some effort if he wanted to kill the youth who placed first in the entrance test, Zhang Fei never thought that the other party would be this strong.

Not only had they stopped their combined skills, but they even killed one of the bandit leaders so swiftly that he couldn’t even capture it with his eyes.

’Damn, how can he be this strong? Isn’t he just a junior? The level of strength he just showed, was no weaker than the first elder or patraich of their clan who could be said to be the strongest experts around these parts’ Zhang Fei gritted his teeth.

The daughter of the clan head of the Lin Clan was already such an abnormal talent. At her age, her strength was already equal or greater than his own. However, this youth in front of him, was even beyond that so much so that it was outright scary.

Feeling all the hair in his body stand on end just at the glance of the youth, Zhang Fei to his horror realised that he had miscalculated the strength of his opponents thinking that they were just juniors.

"What did you say?!! He is the winner of the Holy Orchard Academy entrance test? This... Dammit, how can you keep such an important information concealed from us? Fuck, I’m outta here. I don’t want to die"

The other bandit leader did not hesitate to tuck his tail and run at the first signs of danger.

"You!!" Zhang Fei who saw the bandit leader breach their agreement and run away, was enraged. However, he also knew that even if they fought him, there was no way they would be able to win and as such, running was the best option.

"It looks like I won’t be able to complete the task the clan gave me and kill Lin Huyin today. We can think of some other way after I get back to the clan. Brat count yourself lucky today. However, by meddling today you have completely offended my Zhang clan. Don’t think that you will have an easy life in the future"

Spouting some extremely cliche dialogue, Zhang Fei too did not stay put for another second and ran away. To make sure the enemy did not give pursuit, he ran in a different direction than the bandit leader.

Utilising all of the strength of a Three Star Battle Master, he fled. However, how could it be so easy to run away from Yang Chen?

"Thereatening me?! Hehe, I’ll show what happens to those who threaten me" he laughed. Releasing a deep breath of air, hr clenched the sword in his hand tighter and slashed the air. Whoosh... At that instant, the air was violently distorted and a sword slash made of highly condensed flames, came to life and sped towards the fleeing back of the bandit leader.

The bandit leader who had no idea that a flame slash was heading his way at an insane speed, was busy running away. He had no mind to pay any attention to his fallen comrade that had been turned into ashes.

In the profession of banditry, camaraderie and all such things did not matter. The most important thing was saving one’s own life, and so he ran away without a thought when he felt a scorching sensation assault his back.

Turning his head back at the nick of the time, he was able to witness a brilliant pale blue sword slash quickly magnify in front of his eyes.

That was the last thing he saw before being bisected in half and turned into ashes a second later.

CRACK... At the same moment, the Flame Expelling Blade on Yang Chen’s hand, suddenly trembled and crumbled apart to his astonishment.

"It looks like it was too much for the two star sword to handle simultaneous activation of a High Tier Sky Grade battle skill"

Yang Chen surmised seeing that the sword crumbled completely after just two attacks. Also, it needs to be mentioned that the presence of the infernal energy inside the tower, had helped raise the completion rate of the [Great Napalm Command] to een high heights. Thus increasing, the power of the flame attribute battle skill even further.

"I guess it cannot be helped" Yang Chen threw away the sword handle and turned towards the area where the Zhang clan elder had fled.

The other party being an elder of a prominent local clan was much faster than the likes of the bandit leader. In the few short seconds it took Yang Chen to kill the bandit leader, the other party had already opened a significant distance.

That said, this much distance was still not enough to be safe from Yang Chen. The latter looked at the running elder and extended his left hand. A blood red sinister mark appeared on his skin.

The flesh of his left hand started to peel away, his fingers twisting in a horrific way, his nails melting away and blood spurting from the open wounds.

"AAaargghh!!" Yang Chen gave a suppressed cry of agony nevertheless he did not stop and continued to mutilate his hand.

Soon his left had become a bloody mess.

"Oooh!! To think that you would go as far as to suffer such pain to activate that skill. Kukuku... Are you really that upset because they touched your heroine?"

Amon being the character he was, made a snide remark while laughing at Yang Chen’s agony.

"Shut up, let me concentrate. Sacrifice- all the fingers of my left hand. Activate [Sacrificial Gambit]"

He roared, the blood red sinister mark on his left hand flashed and disappeared with an ominous flash of light.

At that very instant, the same sinister mark appeared on Zhang Fei and the latter immediately puked out a mouthful of blood.

Having suffered damage out of nowhere, he stumbled and fell on the ground whereupon he puked out a few more mouthfuls of blood.

What was going on?

Why did he feel like he had been punched ruthlessly in the guts?
