[Book 1-11] Stellar Transformation

Book 4, Chapter 24

B4C24: One sky-piercing meteor; two high-hanging moons

The Conqueror's Spear!

Close-quarters spear attacks!

"Really formidable." With ice-cold eyes, Qin Yu forcefully swallows back a mouthful of blood in his throat. Just now he attempted to execute some close-quarters attacks using the Stellar Field, but Xiang Yang unexpectedly neutralized them right away with a Sweeping Away Thousands Of Troops strike.

A Xiuzhenist who uses close-quarters attacks?

This is truly strange. In general, Xiuzhenists attack using their flying swords, but Xiang Yang practiced pure martial arts and has reached his currently level by himself and thanks to his own experience therefore his way of practice is different from the other Xiuzhen schools and his method of offense is very individualized.

"Big brother, Xiang Yang is even much stronger than we expected. Who would've thought he'd be good at close-quarters combat? Not only does he have a suit of armor, he also has a long spear. Thanks to this, both his offense and defense are extremely formidable." Xiao Hei says using his holy sense.

Qin Yu calmly says through holy sense communication: "Let's find his weak points. If we can't succeed, we're going to have to use the last move in our plan."

"The last move ... alright!" Xiao Hei's voice becomes resolute.

Qin Yu stares at Xiang Yang and suddenly says with a cold laugh: "Xiang Yang, at the beginning of the fight, you were able to save your little life thanks to your suit of armor. Just now I executed a fierce strike but you saved your life again with the help of this Conqueror's Spear. Next time ... I want to see how you're going to avoid death!"

Qin Yu has struck his killing blows twice but Xiang Yang has negated them all using his secret trump cards.

Xiang Yang says with an unconcerned laugh: "Indeed, the 1st time you were so cunning that I almost got hit. The 2nd time your speed was quite frightening and really made me jump. But ... do you really think I'll give you one more chance? Qin ... Qin Yu, just now you was most probably hit by my spear. It didn't taste very good, right? I've got a word of advice for you -- don't try to resist because it's going to taste even worse later."

A faint strange smile appears on the corners of Xiang Yang's mouth.

A moment ago Qin Yu had to endure more than half of the power his Sweeping Away Thousands Of Troops strike so he thinks that Qin Yu's body has been injured badly.

However, Xiang Yang has miscalculated Qin Yu's power. Not only does Qin Yu have an extremely strong body, the ordinary-looking sleeveless undershirt he is wearing was forged by Lei Wei. It is no common item of clothing and is very comfortable to wear. Once Qin Yu is attacked, the undershirt will become hard from being soft and absorb more than half of the attack's power in an instant.

"Oh? Your spear technique is pretty powerful but it's not a threat to me." The energy inside Qin Yu's body starts to surge. When not moving it is as stable as a mountain and when moving it is powerful like rolling thunder. Qin Yu is very confident of his close-quarters offense because he has spent the most time and energy working on his close-quarters combat techniques.

"Pu!"

The air between Qin Yu and Xiang Yang begins to vibrate slightly.

Xiang Yang suddenly opens his eyes violently. His right hand, which is holding the spear, suddenly makes a twist. In an instant, the black head of the Conqueror's Spear pierces through the air to come at Qin Yu extremely fast while spinning. The head of the spear follows an indistinct path of movements. At the same time, the air within the spinning area of the spear's head is unexpectedly sucked away completely.
