Commanding Wind and Cloud

Fanta Kunge slowly nodded his head. As a member of Fanta Family, he hadn’t ever come across such matters. Even the bloodline warriors wouldn’t get on the wrong side of Fanta Family. After all, the majority of Zence residents were ordinary people.

"Don’t need to go back." Duren Burg lit up a cigarette, and took a deep inhale from it at the gaze of the other three warriors, "If you were Rayen, what would you do after making these arrangements where there is no one to cover you?"

"I’d go away after making all those arrangements." Qian Jin came to realize something and nodded his head, "I saw it from my own perspective. After dispatching two guards, he has no one by his side, which puts him in a very dangerous position. If the guard fails, the people he attacks will take revenge on him! The safer way is to seek refuge with his family. So..."

Smoke floated from Duren Burg’s nostril, "It’s too late. At first, I thought he was just a dumb dude from a rich family, and I didn’t think that he was so vicious. After all we saved his life, how could he..."

Qian Jin shook his head softly, "No. Think about this. If his two guards fought back, the bandits would’ve been defeated and fled...if so..."

"Those bandits were just acting!" Duren Burg threw away the cigarette and trampled the head of the cigarette as he said excitedly, "No wonder that he said he would go ask the Big Sword Bandit Group for help! He was really good at flirting with women! How on earth did he think of finding someone to put on an act with him."

"So..." Qian Jin sighed, "Let’s go hunting for the bandits."

Walking out of the forest, Qian Jin quickly jumped onto the horse and started thinking about what to do after they arriving in Yulee. If they ran into Rayen again, the best thing they could do was utilize their power to stop their enemy from taking any dangerous actions.

"That’s a must! We have to spare no efforts to increase our strength!"

Qian Jin took a deep breath, as he realized that he had to take Rosella with him during his days in Yulee. Or else, if anything happened to Rosella, he didn’t know how he’d face Rollin in the stars.

As long as he could break through his present stage of Level 9 Demon Fighter, he wouldn’t only achieve bigger warrior power, but also a stronger Wind and Cloud Golden Body. Perhaps he would make further progress in his overall strength, during which time those warrior techniques he had learned might become stronger too.

Only by possessing compelling power can he protect his loved ones!

Who was the most famous and strongest person in the frontier? Different people hold different answers to this question.

A new prodigy able to command wind and cloud would show up in this special belt between the Demons’ territory and the Zence Empire every once in a while. As for whom the most notable person was during recent days? The answer was almost the same: Fabreidis.

Qian Jin had underestimated the popularity Fabreidis gained in the frontier for the past several days. He used to think that he could get to know Fabreidis’ news by cross-examining a number of bandits. However, the three bandits of three different groups he seized gave him the same answer.

Fabreidis was very likely to be moving around the Clear Spring Mountain in the frontier. As a small mountain which was just a little bigger than a hillock, it was given this name as there was a clear spring around it.

The bandit groups had tried their best to avoid any conflict with Fabreidis. As a guardian of a city, Fabreidis was credited as having notable power. Besides, he was accompanied by warriors of the Yulee Warriors Union. Attacking Fabreidis equaled to declaring war against the Yulee Warriors Union, and a war between different powers occur.

Most importantly, according to the intelligence exchanged between the bandit groups, the newly-arrived Dark Group of the Lucifer Empire was also approaching the Clear Spring Mountain. If such two powers came across each other, anyone staying near them would be involved, which might irritate Torrent Battle Fort or the Demons’ Dark Group.

Without appealing benefits, the bandit groups wouldn’t get on the wrong side of any power. But as long as they saw enough profit, joining a group and becoming makeshift Official Army to facilitate in the war was quite an easy thing for them.

"The Clear Spring Mountain is just over there." Duren Burg whipped the horse, pointing to the verdure in front of them.

Qian Jin whipped the horse and dashed toward Clear Spring Mountain ahead of his partners. With the past days spent on the horseback, he was quite familiar with riding, though his horsemanship hadn’t reached the summit.

The closer they got to the Clear Spring Mountain, the more Qian Jin felt that there was something wrong. There was a strong murderous ambiance amidst the mountain, entwined yet obscure.

"Qian Jin." Duren Burg rode his horse to Qian Jin said in a low voice, "There seems to be something wrong on the mountain."

Bang! Qian Jin squinted and saw a faint-yellow colored smoke rose up from the of the hillside of Clear Spring Mountain, after which two pine trees slowly fell down in the forest.

"Someone was fighting over there." Qian Jin rode to the foot of the hill and jumped down from his horse. He then beckoned his warrior dimension, took out Shoot Moon Bow from it, held the bow in one hand and sprinted at the mountain in an arching posture, "Let’s go there and have a look."

The other three people cast each other a look as they held their warrior power and followed Qian Jin in climbing the mountain swiftly. The closer they got to the hillside, the clearer the sound of crashing metal and fracturing trees echoed in their ears.

Though there was still a distance before they could get to the place where strong warrior power was oozing, Qian Jin had already felt a chill at his back, as such warrior power was even beyond a Two Star of the Dark Group. Compared with the Two Star they saw in the Demons’ internal strife the other day, these two sides fighting with each other in the mountain were stronger by leaps and bounds.

After another screeching cracking sound of metal, Qian Jin harshly stopped and stood within a 100-meter distance of the battlefield, daring not get further by even one step.

Instinct! The harsh training in Four Seasons Valley and the endless world infused Qian Jin with an instinct feeling for danger, by which he knew that if he took one step forward...he would be discovered by the fighting sides or the people watching near the battlefield.

From afar, Qian Jin saw that one of the two figures which were moving swiftly. It was Fabreidis, the guardian of Oakland, whom he hadn’t seen for a couple of weeks.

With Skyreed Sword in his hand, Fabreidis was wearing surging warrior power that was as strong as the tides outside his body, and his long hair kept flying up and down with his warrior power. His overwhelming might seemed to hover above the entire Clear Spring Mountain.

Qian Jin turned to Fabreidis’s adversary, and couldn’t help the cramping of his brows, the Dark Group! Five Star! A Five Star of the Dark Group!

The Five Star was in black soft-leather armor, and carrying a stick which was as big as a pillar in his hand.

The huge and sturdy figure appeared full of appalling might, of whom the rising warrior power was like a smashing iron piece, imposing great pressure on the ones standing by his side.

Bloodline Demon Warrior! Bloodline Demon Warrior of the Bulk Demon Bloodline! Qian Jin observed this Bloodline Demon Warrior of the Bulk Demon Bloodline composedly, realizing that this person was even stronger than Nila! He was stronger than Nila multiple times over. If he was appointed to lead the Demon Warrior’s team the other day, Qian Jin wouldn’t be able to save Cech Flet.

"Human, you are much stronger than I imagined." The Bulk Demon Bloodline Warrior squared his shoulder, "No wonder you could kill a member of the Dark Group. You hadn’t utilized all of your strength just now, right? Show me your whole strength and I can give you a decent end as an honored warrior."

"Bloodline Demon Warrior?" A look of resentment flashed by Fabreidis’s eyes, "The ones I hate most are the bloodline warriors, including you, Bloodline Demon Warriors!"

"Show your entire strength." The Bulk Demon Warrior suddenly clenched his fists tightly, and with the change of his of skin cutin, his warrior power was further increased, "Hahahahahah...awaken, the bloodline power of rank 4 Demon Warrior!"

In a flash! Qian Jin clearly felt that the warrior power of the Bulk Demon Bloodline Warrior had been changed qualitatively! The warrior power seemed to come to life, instead of being inanimate!

"Lofty Bloodline Demon Warrior, push away your negligent pride! Soul power is not exclusively owned by you bloodline warrior families!" Fabreidis touched his sword softly with his fingers and said to himself leisurely, "However, we ordinary warriors without bloodline powers have to study by ourselves what soul power is and try to master it through our own effort."

Fabreidis suddenly opened his eyes wide and flashed a lightning-like look which then dazzled the entire forest. His warrior power changed rapidly, turning from white into red as if flames had been shot from his body and was then dancing outside, "Soul power!"

Soul power? It was Qian Jin’s first to hear about such a strange term. Looking at the warrior power exerted by Fabreidis, Qian Jin couldn’t help frowning as the warrior power seemed to be brought to life. So what on earth was soul power?

"Elemental warrior power?" The Bulk Demon Bloodline Warrior’s eyeballs kept rotating, "You have also mastered the soul power! The fire-element soul power! However, in front of us strong bloodline warriors, you ordinary warriors are as poor as mice. I, Nielvilan will use the Bulk Demon Soul power to smash your impure fire-element soul power and send you to the stars."

Soul power? What on earth was soul power? Why was Nielvilan’s entire strength changed qualitatively even though the growth of his warrior power wasn’t significant? Qian Jin frowned and started contemplation. The classification of realms of warriors’ strength weren’t taught in any academy, and even the biographical books of the family prodigies seldom mentioned this issue.

"Fire wolf...Howl!" As the Skyreed Sword held in Fabreidis’s hand turned a little red, the grass he was stepping on withered instantly as if they were burnt by high temperatures. He then transformed into a red light and took the hit! A strand of power spouted from the ground he was treading on, stirring the muddy earth and the withered grass into the sky.

"Bulk Demon! Awaken!"

The warrior power inside Nielvilan’s body surged up as if the legendary bulk demon was about to be formed, of which the pressing power shocked the remaining members of the Dark Group into stepping forward.

Opportunity had knocked! Level 9 Demon Warrior’s power exploded rapidly inside Qian Jin! It was not the progressive increase of the warrior power! It was a sheer full-scale explosion! Qian Jin was left with no time to progressively accrue his warrior power, however, the explosion of his warrior power could be noticed by others instantly!

Level 9 Demon Fighter! The power of one hundred and eight energy reservoirs was frantically rotating at a speed of three thousand and eight hundred cycles and was infused into Qian Jin’s arms. The Shoot Moon Bow turned into the shape of a full moon, and its light was ever thickened by the growing warrior power. It seemed that Qian Jin was holding the authentic moon, instead of a bow.

Nock the arrow, pull the bow, locate the target and then shoot the arrow! These four moves were performed in the twinkling of an eye, through which the tip of the Shoot Moon Bow flashed out an increasingly cold light. The arrow rapidly rotated, slid through the grass and rushed out, splitting the grass into pieces. The arrow drew a long green stick on the ground as if a green snake was sliding above the grass.

"Divine Shoot Family?"

Nielvilan’s scalp was tingling as he witnessed the sharp and swift arrow with his eyes. This was such a violent shot! The arrow had reached him shortly after it was released. A hundred meter distance was short to an archer!

But how did Qian Jin approach this one hundred meter distance Nielvilan couldn’t figure out why Qian Jin wasn’t discovered by him in this one-hundred-meter distance, given that he was only a Level 9 Demon Fighter? Only the archers of the Divine Shoot Family of the Zence Empire possessed such prodigious sneaking abilities! However, wasn’t Qian Jin too young to become an archer?

Nielvilan wasn’t left with much time to think about this, as the arrow had already reached his ankle! As the cold arrow was full of murderous intent, Nielvilan daren’t grasp it with his hands even if he was shielded by soul power! That was the tip of a warrior-weapon grade arrow! Unless Nielvilan had protective clothing of the same grade around his ankle, he would definitely be pierced through!

Just within the blink of an eye, Nielvilan lifted his right foot, trampled the ground with his left foot, and moved forward by his feet’s momentum. He then propped his iron stick to avoid Qian Jin’s shot and fend off Fabreidis’s Skyreed Sword.

The other several members of the Dark Group also noticed Qian Jin, so they pulled out their swords and rushed at him!

Awaken, the power of Hydra Bloodline! Duren Burg propped his spear, and instantly moved in front of Qian Jin, while Fanta Kunge came to the other side of Qian Jin, holding Zhanmadao in his hand.

Seeing Nielvilan’s reaction, Qian Jin uttered a sneer, "You’re asking for death!"

The arrow which was previously sliding through the ground rotated upward by 75 degrees all of a sudden! And soon it drilled at Nielvilan’s armpit!

What the hell was this! Nielvilan felt frightened, and narrowed his pupil to the smallest while roaring to himself, "Changeable Arrows! Changeable Arrows of the Divine Shoot Family! How old is Qian Jin?!"

Whiz whiz whiz! Whiz whiz whiz...Qian Jin raised his hand and released these three arrows immediately. The incessant three Chain Arrows were targeted at the vital body parts of Nielvilan!

Nielvilan had hardly averted the Changeable Arrows when another three arrows were released! Nielvilan rotated his left foot to move his body. While his mind was drifting away, Fabreidis’s sword...had reached his chest!

Puff! The sword was stabbed through his body! A big bleeding hole was formed in Nielvilan’s back, from where numerous pieces of flesh exploded out. The large eyes of Nielvilan were locked on Fabreidis with sheer regret and resentment. His coarse hand was holding the edge of the Skyreed Sword, while scarlet blood kept running from his palm.

"I’m not resigned to my defeat..." Nielvilan slowly slumped down, "by a human warrior. I wasn’t killed by you...I was killed by an archer...otherwise..."

Nielvilan fell to the ground heavily. His big eyes were open for a long time, with grievance and anger filling his pupils.

"You have no other choice but to die." Fabreidis placed his sword into the scabbard and said lightly, "You have just worn the appearance of soul power, instead of mastering its essence. How could you possibly defeat me?"

Bang bang bang...another vibrating sound of the Shoot Moon Bow rung in the air. At the sight of these flying arrows, the Demon Warriors of the Dark Group hurriedly dodged, during which time Torrent Ten Warriors had caught up with them.

Fabreidis lifted his eyes and saw Qian Jin. After a few seconds of surprise and shock, Fabreidis replaced his lofty look with a smile, "You bloke, it took great pains to look for you."

"No hope of victory! Retreat!"

A Demon Warrior of the Dark Group suddenly shouted out, and the other members amounting to ten or so stopped bothering with the Torrent Ten Warriors and retreated to one side.

"Want to flee?" Qian Jin nocked his arrow and released at a One Star of the Dark Group. The heads of the members of the Dark Group were valuable trophies, as they were the private troops of the Demon Royal Family. It wasn’t easy to run into a member of the Dark Group in a lifetime, so how could Qian Jin let them go?

The One Star turned back, pulled out his sword and fended off the arrow, feeling numb in his arms! The power of the arrow was really overwhelming! The body of his sword was dented by it.

Torrent Ten Warriors hurriedly pounced on this One Star. The latter flashed out a ferocious look from his eyes under the black mask, and put together his palms!

Torrent Ten Warriors stopped all of a sudden and started stepping back in a hurry. Then he heard the Demon Warrior scream, "Explode!"

Boom! The body of the Demon Warrior exploded, stirring a violent gust of wind. All grasses in a three-meter radius died down around the place where he was standing! They were burnt to ashes!

Qian Jin sighed at the shocking explosive power. He didn’t figure that the Dark Group members had the flair of perishing together with the enemies! Was it not for their fast retreating, the ten warriors might have died or been severely hurt. And even if they were recovered, they had a narrow chance of rehabilitating to their peak power.

"Self-explosion item of the Dark Group." Cech Flet said lightly, "This is a special rune item made by the rune artists under the control of the Demon Emperor. As they require special materials, such items couldn’t be produced in large quantities."

"That’s right." Qian Jin looked at the exploding range, "If these items could be produced in large numbers, the Zence Empire might have been destroyed long ago."

"Black Dragon Guards of the Zence Empire..."Cech Flet opened his mouth and said the longest sentence Qian Jin had heard during the past twenty days, "Possess something similar, which is called Dragon Explosion Pill."

"You! I spent a lot of efforts looking for you." Fabreidis punched on Qian Jin’s breast, "How dare you accept such a dangerous mission."

Qian Jin kneaded his biting breast and laughed, "Aren’t I still alive?"

"You are so lucky to be still alive!" Fabreidis pinched Qian Jin’s neck with his arms, "Even I don’t dare venture into the Demons’ territory, but you..."

Qian Jin forced a smile as he was enduring the punishment of Fabreidis.

"However, your shooting was really mesmerizing." Fabreidis kept praising Qian Jin, "To tell the truth, none of the Divine Shoot Family archers who haven’t activated their divine shoot bloodline can be compared to you in archery."

Qian Jin pulled his head off Fabreidis’s arms, "How about those archers who have activated their bloodline power?"

"So?" Fabreidis looked at Qian Jin, "Do you want to compete with the archers of the Divine Shot Family?"

Qian Jin looked at Fabreidis in silence, "Your honor, don’t you want to have a try?"

"No wonder I have a special feeling for you." Fabreidis patted on Qian Jin’s back, producing a heavy sound, "You are really like the juvenile me. Or to say, you have something I didn’t possess. But you have to remember that..."
