Chapter 367: A Fight Between Dragon and Tiger! Dragon Wins and Tiger Loses!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In the hands of Qin Fen, the ultimate skill of Phoenix’s Snake Fists became even more sinistrous. It was no longer limited to just killing and trickiness, it was also incomparably sinistrous.
From the beginning of the battle, the two young experts had entered a life and death combat. This fight wasn’t as simple as a fight to determine the winner and loser.
Caesar wasn’t too surprised by this. Kicks and punches weren’t some dishes and drinks on the table to eat and drink. When both sides were equal in strength, whoever had even a little bit of intention of reserving his strength would be defeated in the blink of an eye and might even lose his life.
The wind produced by Young Netherworld King’s sudden thrust was like a blade aiming straight at Qin Fen’s throat. Immediately after, just as Qin Fen avoided the oncoming thrust, he used the Monkey King Picking the Chrysanthemum hiding it in the Excising Heart From the Ribs. In response, Hades used a backhand thrust aiming at Qin Fen’s wrist using the Immortal Crane Slaughtering the Snake. Immediately, Qin Fen counterattacked at Hades’ wrist by using the Snake Biting the Sword.
In this lightning-fast exchange, neither side actually touched the other. And neither was there any fierce collision. More importantly, this fight was even riskier than last night’s battle with Dark Omen. In the blink of an eye, the hearts of every onlooker started pounding madly as they kept on screaming in their minds.


At the sight of the instantaneous switch of offense and defense, goosebumps exploded all over Chen Feiyu’s body. Originally, he believed that his strength would be infinitely close to Qin Fen’s after the Blood Transfusion Rebirth. He didn’t expect that when these two made their moves for real, their moves would be devoid of any earth-shattering commotion, yet they made people’s hearts tremble.
Xue Tian, on the other hand, tightened his grip on the hilt. The usual smile on his face could not be found anymore. Battle intent was slowly creeping underneath his skin. Even Song Zhenting in the air glanced at him. The other young martial artists distanced themselves from him subconsciously.
Only Lin Ling seemed completely oblivious to Xue Tian’s battle intent. Her face looked as calm as usual. However, a little bit of emotion that could not be found usually was apparent on her forehead, the emotion called
worry
.
This worried look was completely different from that perfect worried face of the past, it appeared more real.
Aoooo…
Finally, Young Netherworld King – Hades lashed out facing Qin Fen’s sinistrous Snake Biting the Sword!
A soul-stirring howl burst out from his throat, a furious roar of a tiger filled with dreadful bloodlust! At the same time, Crane’s beak opened and transformed into a Tiger’s claw. The muscles at the back of his hand squirmed again as he clawed down! His sharp fingernails shone with metallic luster as they popped out like the claws hidden inside the paws of a tiger, plunging straight towards the opened snake mouth of Qin Fen’s palm!
The sharp Immortal Crane Slaughtering the Snake turned into the claw of a tiger, the king of the mountain forest, tearing everything in its path!
White Tiger didn’t get his title in vain. His Fists Absolute was all-inclusive, claws, palm, fingers, and whatnot. All kinds of tiger fists were integrated into it.
Hades’ quick counter with Tiger Rend gave everyone the impression that he had already thought in advance how to deal with Qin Fen’s Snake Biting the Sword.


The moment Hades used the Tiger Rend, the veins at the back of Hades’ hand bulged like a thin and dense mesh of wire. The terror and disgust of his entire palm could not be explained with mere words, but the wrinkled skin glistened with a metallic gloss!
How hard and sharp was the Heart Excising Hand after it had been strengthened by Gold Absolute!? Hades was confident that this palm could even pierce through a steel plate, let alone Qin Fen’s palm!

Amazing!

Looking at Hades’ eyes, Song Zhenting’s eyes flickered with appreciation and the corners of his lips rose a bit as he praised. Such a skillful play at his age! No wonder he is rumored to be standing at the peak of the younger generation.
How is Qin Fen going to counterattack? Can that strange protective divine art of his bear the piercing attack of Heart Excising Hand that has been strengthened by Gold Absolute? Song Zhenting’s eyes flickered with anticipation. One of the reasons that he came here today was that he wanted to find out what the protective cultivation art Qin Fen was using was.
Hades’ star-class was a bit higher than Qin Fen, but when it came to martial senses and physical strength, Qin Fen was obviously stronger. As everyone began to pay more attention to Qin Fen, everyone came to the conclusion that both sides were neck and neck with each other in combat experience. Song Zhenting also didn’t dare to make any bold assertion as to who was going to win or lose at the end of the day.
Just as Hades used the Tiger Rend, Qin Fen’s eyebrow twitched as his pupils flickered with a lightning glow. Immediately after, he heard a tiger roar coming from Hades’ throat and just as his roar was at the peak, he heard a metallic sound coming from underneath Young Netherworld King’s skin. It was the sounds of impact between his muscles and bones which sounded like pieces of metals lightly striking against each other.
If Ge Bing attached metal externally to his body, then Young Netherworld King’s Gold Absolute was like turning his entire body into a huge piece of metal!
From the beginning of the battle, both sides had fully pushed their strength to the peak. They were putting their lives on the line with their every move. Apart from trying to quickly end the battle, they were also competing who was going to unleash his entire strength first!
And it was Young Netherworld King – Hades who really did it. His entire strength had fully erupted at this moment. While he was already attacking with the Tiger Rend, his other arm was also in motion like a tiger’s tail, ready to sweep any moment!


Young Netherworld King was well aware that he wasn’t as strong as Qin Fen for sure, regardless of whether it was the news report judging or that punch from the night where he had broken all of Death Omen’s bones into pieces. Qin Fen was like a human-shape road roller, anything that was blocking his way would be flattened by him!
Only he didn’t expect that Qin Fen would use such a combat style today. All the preparation he had made had come to naught, until the moment he had used the Tiger Rend. He knew that although it was somewhat different than he had expected, he still threw the prepared counterattack to take the upper hand.
Hades’ special means of combat could be said to be a long-standing blow. His Tiger Rend gave rise to strong gales of wind that were as sharp as knives and swords. Qin Fen felt as if he was standing on an ancient battlefield surrounded by archers shooting at him.
Everything in this short exchange was just for this blow! Hades believed Qin Fen could only retreat facing this blow! So long as the ten-star Qin Fen had a peerless momentum, so long as he stepped back, his punch would be broken and the fight would end in a very short time!
Even an eleven-star peak martial artist would choose to retreat in such a close space encounter! There were not many people in the world who could immediately raise their strength and exchange blows with Young Netherworld King – Hades in such a small space.
Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
A series of that word quickly resonated through everyone’s mind!
No!
Qin Fen converged his opened fingers as a similar long cry soared from his throat. Immediately, the murderous intent around him exploded as that world’s momentum in his aura of power gushed out from his body.
Qin Fen’s fist momentum changed as the true energy in his body climbed to the limit. Hades’ skin made loud popping noises as his muscles sprung up with Tiger Fists completely!


The time a martial artist took to completely play out his maximum strength was an important scale to measure who was stronger and who was weaker. Young Netherworld King – Hades was the first one to finish. His pupils were filled with a beastly radiance. The onlookers in the distance felt that Qin Fen wasn’t facing a human but rather a ferocious tiger in a forest.
When the tiger moved, the entire forest trembled!
When Hades made his move, his killing aura, which was mixed with the ferocity of a beast, had completely erupted! Suddenly, a different scene sprang up before Qin Fen’s eyes, giving him the illusion that he was standing in a jungle, facing a real tiger.
Hades’ tiger roar resounded again and again, non-stop. As his claws cut through the air, they left traces of airflow that were visible to the naked eyes like it was a sheet of paper. The powerful Gold Absolute tiger claw covered all the vital points on Qin Fen’s brain, throat, and shoulder.
White Tiger’s Tiger King Frenzy!
Song Zhenting’s eyes went wide with incredulity. To his surprise, Hades could push the White Tiger Frenzy with just the strength of the eleven-star level! That was White Tiger’s bold and fierce finishing move that forcibly merged the swiftness and violence of ancient fist technique, creating a short burst of pure true energy. Each blow could break the stone and cut the metal!
Hades wasn’t as powerful as Divine Beast, White Tiger. Although the strength of White Tiger Frenzy was reduced an awful lot, it wasn’t any weaker among the eleven-star martial artists. Hades’ firm and fierce claw clawed towards Qin Fen’s head.
Qin Fen’s bones and muscles continuously thundered with his long howl. Qin Fen raised his hand to block the Tiger Claw using Cloud Hands. When Hades’ tiger claw grasped towards Qin Fen’s ribs, Qin Fen’s left hand pressed on Tiger Claw with White Crane Spread Its Wings. Immediately, taking advantage of the momentum, Hades’ five fingers slammed towards Qin Fen’s abdomen as his other tiger claw slammed towards Qin Fen’s throat.
White Tiger Frenzy that could break the stone and cut the metal was as endless as the sea. In the blink of an eye, the air burst continuously as the splashing energy blew the sand on the beach everywhere.
At this moment, Young Netherworld King – Hades was showing the strength and style of the top expert of Venus’ younger generation. He was attacking with his every move, trying to take the lead!


On Venus, he was invincible. Then, he defeated Death Omen, and now, he was fighting the top expert of Earth’s younger generation. He poured all his essence, energy, and spirit into this battle. Young Netherworld King – Hades was playing with his strongest strength since his debut.
Song Zhenting’s eyes flickered with surprise again and again. White Tiger Frenzy, an attack that could topple the mountains and overturn the seas, was unable to force Qin Fen to take even half a step back!

The children of this generation… are really exciting.

Song Zhenting was slightly touched. Young Netherworld King – Hades’ lethal and endless attacks seemed to be drawn by Qin Fen’s arms and feet as he switched from soft Tai Chi at the beginning to hardness.
How could it be that easy to combine hardness with softness!? He can even switch softness to hardness in the blink of an eye! Song Zhenting slightly nodded his acknowledgment. Only a few people could do it at such a young age.
Qin Fen’s mind went blank. Young Netherworld King – Hades, this opponent with unending killing intent is really the strongest opponent I have faced since I started training in martial arts. His energy of Gold Absolute is even more than what I had expected. Every clash with him feels like I am hitting the hardest metal. The hard skin at the back of my hand should have been torn by the tiger claws by now.
Even after having caught up in Young Netherworld King – Hades’ style, his battle intent was in no way suppressed, but rather became more and more intense and excited.

Hades, you have your own inheritance, and I have mine. I will let you see my special inherited martial art!

As this thought flashed past Qin Fen’s mind, Qin Fen sunk his waist into a horse-riding stance. The sand on the beach flew three meters high up in the air, shrouding the two completely inside!
Suddenly, Hades felt that he was standing inside a strange environment. Qin Fen before him suddenly seemed as vast as an ocean. Are you going to make your finishing move?
Rather than feeling afraid, Hades was rejoicing in his heart. He raised his true energy again as his tiger roar and Qin Fen’s dragon roar clashed with each other, continuously. Even the seawater at the distance was pushed back by the shockwaves as ripples after ripples appeared on it! Hades stretched his five fingers as he promptly raised his hand, smacking it towards Qin Fen’s head from above. Swishes and howls appeared in the air as if a piece of cloth was being ripped and a suona was blown.
Although this claw attack couldn’t really inflict injuries. The true energy mixed in with wind was spurting out of his finger visible to the naked eyes. The skin of ordinary people might even be cut by these winds from his fingers. And his killing intent was as if it would tear apart Qin Fen’s energy field.
Facing Hades’ Tiger Rend, Qin Fen wasn’t startled, not even a bit. He flipped his palm from inside to outside as true energy bursting from his body caused the clothes on his body to flap. The sand blown into the air had not settled before even more sand was blown into the air again! Roars of sea waves resounded amidst the cloud of sand!
Qin Fen’s first palm chopped on the tiger claw as the two hard forces collided for the first time. The sand underneath their feet didn’t blow into the air but rather quickly flew in all four directions. Its momentum wasn’t inferior to the slingshot in the hands of the children.
In the cloud of sand, two intertwining figures flew away from each other for the first time. Qin Fen’s sleeves had already been torn by the energy to the point that it resembled beggar’s clothes. The corner of Young Netherworld King – Hades’ lips slightly cracked. To his surprise, the explosive strength of eleven-star true energy was unable to bear the pure brute force of a ten-star martial artist. Even if his body was protected by Gold Absolute, his arm was still stinging as if tens of thousands of needles had pricked him.
Qin Fen’s condition was also not good. So the defense of the Gold Absolute created by Divine Beast – White Tiger is this strong. The opponent is only an eleven-star martial artist yet in just one clash, he had left four gashes on the back of my hand, even the flesh had been dug out.
Just as the toes of retreating two touched the ground, the two charged at the other again. The hundred-meter distance between the two seemed non-existent.
The two clashed with each other once again. But this time, the two in the sandstorm didn’t separate immediately.
Tiger King Frenzy and Raging Berserker Tide clashed with each other. The sand on the ground looked as if hundreds of pythons were turning and tossing under the golden sand.
Young martial artists had long been stunned by the sight. Although they had long expected this match to be indeed a fight between a dragon and tiger, they never even imagined that these two young men could fight so brilliantly.
Young Netherworld King – Hades’ hair stood erect, as if he had suffered an electric shock. His sweat formed a cloud of mist around him as if a vat of boiling water had been poured on him. To everyone’s surprise, his strength had reached the twelve-star level that he had always dreamed of unconsciously.
Twelve-star! Young Netherworld King – Hades’ entire focus was on Qin Fen. He was so focused that he did not even feel his own improvement in this battle. He had actually advanced to the twelve-star level. The clash with the Raging Berserker Tide made his every bone creak, whereas there were at least forty to fifty gashes left on Qin Fen’s fist and arm.
Both sides’ reactions and tactics had reached the peak that they could achieve currently! Young Netherworld King – Hades deeply felt that he was in a very strange environment. Qin Fen gave the impression that he could control everything in this world. And his beastly ferocity was unable to break Qin Fen’s world of control.
If he could break Qin Fen’s momentum, Qin Fen would be defeated! Young Netherworld King – Hades had already come to realize this. He knew that the victor and the loser would be decided in an instant. If any of them kept any finishing move in their sleeve, he may not be able to use it again in this life ever again.
Another long howl broke out from Young Netherworld King – Hades’ throat. His tiger claw suddenly changed as his eyes burst with grim and murderous killing intent as he threw a single word amidst his long howl like a thunder,
Dead!

Just as the dead word exited his mouth, Young Netherworld King – Hades’ true energy suddenly started climbing! His five fingers quickly expanded as if it was a palm of djinn! This was his final ace in the hole. This was Origin Compressing Art, a simulation exercise that could only be executed after years of practice.
Compressing the energy two times with everything!
The true energy surrounding his fingers climbed, again and again. If there was a plank before his fingers, this eruption of energy was strong enough to pierce through it without even coming in contact with it.

Alright!

Qin Fen’s fist momentum also erupted at the same time. Compared to Young Netherworld King – Hades’ twelve-star true energy, his ten-star true energy could only display a finishing move with everything once. From the start, Qin Fen only had two choices: either he could drag Hades to death by his physical strength or he could wait for Hades to take out his real finishing move and deal with it.
Qin Fen had been forbearing. And this was the moment he didn’t need to continue to forbear any more. With three point five times Origin Compressing Art, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art pushed Qin Fen to the level that he had never even dreamed of!
This is the moment! Qin Fen was already compressed to his normal body and yet, he forcefully raised his height by another five centimeters. His flesh and muscles suddenly swelled as the dark green veins like a mural of black dragons covered his every nock and corner of his body!
That’s right! Extreme power could shrink the bloated body! When breaking through the limit of power, Qin Fen’s body would swell once more!
Eighteen Dragon Gathering the Winds and Clouds versus Gold Absolute Hundred Tigers Roaring in a Forest!
The most firm and fierce power against the most aggressive blow. The clash between both sides was like a bolt of sudden lightning in the sky!
The thunderous clash drowned both sides’ long roar. Young Netherworld King – Hades felt an unprecedented power breaking into his arm and surging into his body. The corners of his eyebrows twitched as he used his left foot as support and hurled his right foot at Qin Fen’s head!
Tiger Tail Kick!
As long as Qin Fen’s head is smashed, this vast power can no longer make an even more fierce attack! Even if I am injured, I will win this fight!
Both fists clashed with each other with a thunderous crash. Qin Fen promptly pressed forward as he stirred the true energy on his palm which had yet to dissipate. A black stream of energy gushed out from the corner of his left eye as he conveniently raised his left arm, striking on the Tiger Tail Kick with the soft force of Yin and Yang Double Dragon. Unable to completely block that tyrannical power, he borrowed this power and slid into Hades, crashing into Hades’ chest. Upon noticing Hades’ flickering Gold Absolute Tiger Head coming down on him, he bombarded on in without an ounce of hesitation.
BANG!
Once again, the sand was blown in the air. Immediately after, Qin Fen, looking at Hades’ battle intent-filled eyes and that bloody forehead, flipped his palms that were still covered in true energy which had yet not dissipated and cast the Raging Berserker Tide.
A series of metal clashing sound continuously rang on the beach, mixed in which was sounds of several bones breaking. In the next moment, a dazzling flower of blood bloomed in the sky.
Hades flew as high as thirty meters in the air, drawing a bloody red arc in the air before heavily crashing on the beach. His body slid another fifteen meters before finally coming to stop, leaving a huge trail of blood mixed in with sand.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Young Netherworld King – Hades kept on spewing blood, again and again. His body kept on twitching. But there was a sliver of a proud and happy smile apart from the disbelief and shock on his bloody face.
He was still alive! Only Young Netherworld King alone was able to maintain his life even after having borne the full brunt of Qin Fen’s attack!
Half of his head was already caved in. This was the result of Gold Absolute’s head-on clash with Qin Fen’s Yang Dragon Fists. So many of his bones had broken that he looked like a huge chunk of soft meat.
Even with White Tiger’s Gold Absolute defense, Young Netherworld King – Hades lost. He was very clear that if he and Qin Fen had changed their position, then even if Qin Fen was protected by that strange and powerful protective divine art, the end result would absolutely not be any better than his Gold Absolute protective art.
Qin Fen approached Young Netherworld King – Hades. This was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered since he started walking on the path of martial artist and also the one with the strongest battle intent. As such, he was simply unable to go easy on him, even a bit.
If he went easy on him just now, then, the one lying on the ground would be Qin Fen! With his efficiency of attack, Young Netherworld King – Hades would absolutely not let go of even one-thousandth of a second chance.

Eou… fin…

Young Netherworld King – Hades somehow opened his shattered jaws and squeezed out his final words by controlling his muscles with his strong willpower.
You win… Two simple words but they were a sincere acknowledgment of Young Netherworld King – Hades’ defeat. Nonetheless, there was unwillingness clearly written in his eyes; the unwillingness that he would never take the title of a divine beast in this life; the unwillingness that he would not be his father’s pride in this life anymore; the unwillingness that he would not have the chance to fight with Shangguan Chuanqi anymore!
Hades looked at Qin Fen and then turned his gaze at the coat he had taken off at the start of the fight.
While everyone was holding their breaths, Qin Fen walked over and picked up Hades’ coat and took out a letter from it. A letter was written on a piece of paper.
In this age where the electronic media had developed so much, rarely anyone used paper to write a letter. At the same time, if someone used paper to write letters, it represented that he or she had poured all of his deep feelings into it.

For Song Jia Only
.
Four simple words written in calligraphy as flamboyant as flying dragons and dancing phoenixes exuded an awe-inspiring bloodlust, yet with a touch of faint tenderness.
These were Young Netherworld King – Hades’ words!
Song Zhenting with Song Jia slowly landed on the beach. Qin Fen handed the letter in his hand to Song Jia as an ambulance appeared not far away on the beach.
Originally, the ambulance was here to collect the corpse. Death was pretty normal in a battle between two but Hades had broken through to twelve-star level. Under the support of his tyrannical strength, he should have been seriously battered to the point of a mangled lump of meat by Qin Fen but he was still alive.
Receiving the letter, Song Jia slightly hesitated but slowly opened the letter under the anticipatory gaze of Hades.
Maybe you don’t remember, we have once met in childhood. It was that meeting that left your image in my heart and made me understand what love was. Very strange, right? I have only seen you once, but I came to love you. Yes, Song Jia, I love you.
As Young Netherworld King – Hades was carefully carried away on the stretcher, Song Jia looked at that distantly departing ambulance with a faint wry smile on her lips. This truly came as a surprise for her. The reason Hades challenged Qin Fen was not for the so-called political marriage, nor was it to get the title of a top expert of the younger generation but for the sake of love.
Xue Tian’s excited long cry completely broke the silence at the beach. Everyone recovered from the stupor of excitement and let out a long cry wantonly.
Won! Qin Fen had finally won!
As Song Zhenting swept a glance at Qin Fen’s bloody mangled arms, the dubious look on his face increased even more so. What kind of protective divine art is this? It can actually take the Gold Absolute head-on and even fight on equal grounds? That’s not right! Perhaps Qin Fen’s protective divine art is slightly better! His star-class is lower than Young Netherworld King – Hades! And naturally, his ability to mobilize protective divine art is also weaker.
At this moment, Qin Fen’s legs went a bit numb. It wasn’t that he was scared by the look in Song Zhenting’s eyes, rather, his true energy was exhausted too much. His muscles had eve cramped due to that terrifying clash. He had never been tired since he had started walking on the road of martial arts.

There is still Shangguan Chuanqi.

Having said this, Song Zhenting turned around with Song Jia and flew into the air.
Kyokushin Genichi, who was on the ground, pursed his lips in disdain.
So what? My master can even defeat Young Netherworld King – Hades. Naturally, he can also defeat Shangguan Chuanqi.

Song Zhenting stopped in the air and looked back at Kyokushin Genichi like he was looking at an ant. Having thrown that sentence in a very calm tone, he left just like that.
