Chapter 1853 Lian's Duel -Part 1



Jin considered what she said carefully and sighed. "System. I'm afraid you have some resurrecting to do. Make sure she gets all the power." 

"User, are you not going to let her even try attacking you a little bit? Going straight for the blow will be an insult to her determination to be like you." 

"Lol, she had that devil man's interest because of her connection to being a fox. Do you think I would be forgiven in the future when she becomes stronger than me? Lian would probably play the same trick to me, asking me to attack her and then show me my futility against her." 

"Truth be told, I really want to try my supposedly strongest attack since all that chance had always been overshadowed by Su Zhen and Lein." Lian countered saying that she did prefer it if she was able to attack first.

"You should just go mission hunting with Rong and let the other two go their own missions together. That is unless you have a thing for Lein." 

"How… How can that be!? He is something like a blood relative to me. There is no chance for me to even-" Lian tried to defend herself and then realised what Jin was doing so she took a deep breath in and ignored him by moving into her battle stance.

"Aren't you going to use your dual inscription charm? That should provide what you need to summon out your latent powers." Jin asked as still stood there while he accidentally yawned a little.

"No, I figured out how to pull out my latent powers without the dual inscription charm but it's definitely not as powerful if I used the inscription charm instead," Lian replied while Jin said he was willing to take the hit anytime. "Then I shall."

In an instant, there was an explosion of chi coming out from Lian and Jin could see that she had three tails coming out of her back. "Ah, so that is what she meant that she figured out how to pull out her latent powers, by fusing directly with the demon arts," Jin thought as Lian was already dashing towards Jin at a speed that most average cultivators would even have difficulty catching. 

Yet Jin was not even using his sword at all and merely reinforced his palms with Maqi slowly diverting the attacks away. And it was really slow compared to what Lian had been pushing out. All Jin did was merely move a little to accommodate the direction Lian was coming from and then use his palms to slowly push the edge of the claws away from him. 

However, if people think that he is at his pinnacle, he would say that the best was not to use any Maqi at all and just merely use his plain empty palms and fingers to do the trick which eventually, he actually did! After a few hits, Jin thought this might also be a type of training for him too and this was the best place to try it out since she was going all out against him.

After all, what's the worst that could happen? Loss of fingers? His healing factor can take care of that when he had the worst injuries before. And so, he reduced the Maqi from his entire palm and into just the tips of his fingers so that the contact between the claw blade and the specific point of his skin would have the Maqi to block the attack.

Yet, Lian had no idea that that was what Jin was doing and only believed that she could only go faster and maybe more complicated attacks. For the first time, she utilised the Demon Fox Phantom Scratch which caused the blades to have quantum abilities to move through time and space. She thought this might at least cause a wound even just a slight cut on Jin's skin, that would be all she asked for. 

…And yet, it did not happen. Jin was able to stop the pointed tips of her claw weapon from even descending into his flesh. "I am not going to lose just like this!" Lian said as she utilised the remaining portions of Jin's Maqi and the Overcoat man's chi into her. Assimilating it quickly and forcing her latent powers to emerge. 

Another tail emerged during that progress and this gave her the power to bite into the invisible Maqi barrier that Jin was using, barely touching the tip of his skin to cause some damage to the top superficial layer of the largest organ on his body. It was at that point, she retreated away and started panting. 

"What kind of fake Grade 4 Cultivator are you?"

"You told me to not hold back my strength. In a way." Jin said as he was also shocked by the developments of his strength. He knew that he might have been stronger but he never understood why he was not even taking damage from a Grade 9 Cultivator. Even a Grade 18 or Grade 19 would definitely receive a scratch or two from that kind of attack. In most Wu Xia novels, that would be where the antagonist or protagonist goes full power using that small injury as an excuse.

But right now, all he had was a small bump on his skin which of course he was definitely being saved by the thin Maqi barrier he put up. But still, it was not even the reinforced version of his palm. "System, this is too much, overwhelming too much. It feels like I am bullying anybody that is below my grade." 

"Such is life for an overpowered cultivator in this world. But do remember that some celestials and definitely higher level celestials have stronger powers than you currently have right now." The System said.

"What? There are people even stronger than this?" Lian said as she panted and gave up. "Your turn. I will go full defence to protect even though I will die in the process."
