Chapter 166 MARTIAL R
Pressure!
Wuk wouldn’t let him touch her while he’s present!
"Get the fxck away from my sister!" He tries to smack him with his cudgel but the zombie king easily intercepts it.
"Strong as you may be, the difference between an Innate and someone who only wields a power equal to one is still large!"
He pulls Wuk, not caring about his burning hand and punches him in the face, he slaps the ground and a bone cage appears.
"I might not be able to kill you but I can stop you, don’t underestimate the intelligence of those that lived for centuries."
As a king of an undead kingdom, he has a lot of subordinates and many of them are quite intelligent.
One of them proposes in sealing Wuk, preventing him from interfering, then, he just need to keep Sean at bay while the rest would assault the city.
Unfortunately, the presence of the Treants wreaks their plan and he has to make a move prematurely.
He looks around him and doesn’t see Sean, he starts laughing.
"He’s not here! No wonder you guys are panicking, that dxmn human isn’t present."
Liliaghant looks at him and quickly leaves, the direction she’s heading is towards Sean.
Seeing this, the expression of the zombie king changes and he was about to chase after her when a cudgel stops him.
"You escaped!?" The zombie king was surprised to see Wuk being able to destroy the bone cage.
Wuk’s expression was gloomy, he had to use his strongest attack and also the accumulated damage he received just to destroy the bone cage.
The amount of Golden Qi he has isn’t comparable to his opponent’s Innate Qi.
Meanwhile, in his room, Sean has fallen asleep, he’s unaware of what’s happening in the outside world at the moment.
Liliaghant arrives besides him and use Heal to infuse life force in his body.
His body might be in a state of collapse but the effect of Rune of Devouring is still present and the life force quickly absorbed by his body, all of it was converted to energy for the Space Rune.
Ugh!
Sean grunts as his body starts to convulse, Liliaghant was shocked, she didn’t expect that her Heal wouldn’t help her master recover, in fact, it’s harming him.
Forcibly trying to make his body recover takes a heavy toll on his spirit and body.
He opens his eyes and sees Liliaghant’s teary face, it seems that she also realized what she had done.
"Don’t worry, I’m fi-fine." He tries to smile but it looks uglier than crying, the pain causes his facial expressio to twitch.
He grits his teeth and forces his body to stand up.
He can’t deny that he’s barely holding on, there’s no spiritual energy in his body but as a martial artist, his vigorous vital force has awakened.
"It seems that I can only rely on my physical body at the moment." He can’t help but recall his time on Martial World.
He didn’t expect that he would experience the same thing in their world.
Meanwhile, back outside the city, the zombie king was trying to seal Wuk once again but every time he tries to, Wuk transforms into his King Kong form and the bones aren’t able to fully seal him.
"You’re one persistent creature!" The zombie king curses, he turns to the direction of the portal and his eyes lights up.
"I might not be able to turn you into an undead myself but I can still turn you into one."
He grabs Wuk and was about to drag him to their portal when a punch hits him in the face.
Sean arrives with a shaky body, with a pale face, he jumps down, he looks to the sun and feels his yang energy boiling.
His yang energy is actually an extension of his vital force, he might not be able to control it actively without spiritual energy but it continues to exist inside his body.
Wuk uses the opportunity to escape, he turns to his brother with a guilty expression.
"Hahaha! Heaven helps me! I can’t believe that you’re injured! Luck is on my side!" The zombie king laughs out loud and directly attacks.
Flow!
His attack seems to had hit nothing but air but he clearly sees his fist colliding with his target’s body.
Tai Chi, Third Move, Gentle Palm!
Since he can’t use Shock at the moment, he resorted to the original version of his Tai Chi.
The zombie king feels a gentle penetrating force in his body and can’t help but retreat one step.
"Hmph! That dxmn martial arts of yours!" Once again he felt the helplessness against Sean’s martial art.
He strikes with his palm, causing Sean’s expression to change.
Tai Chi, First Move, Redirection!
He redirects the strike with total focus, seeing this, a grin appears on the zombie king’s face.
"Hahaha! I was right, you can only use that dispersing move in a forward attack, if I use a move that has a large contact space and downward strikes, you can’t use that move!"
"You were definitely a martial artist in the past and a powerful one at that." Sean can’t help but smile wryly, to think that someone sees through the second move of his Tai Chi.
The zombie king doesn’t dodge and raises his two hands to pound him, Sean steps forward and wraps his two hands on his waist.
Tai Chi, First Move + Judo: Overturning!
BOOM!
The zombie king was smashed to the ground in an instant, he was stunned by what just happened.
Sean quickly takes a couple of steps backwards as a cudgel descends from the sky.
The zombie king teleports away from the strike and reappears above Sean, his foot raised and was descending at rapid speed.
Sean shifts his position to the side, avoiding the strike, he grabs his hand as he throws him.
Sun Ray!
The direction where he had thrown him was towards the path of Liliaghant’s strike.
The zombie king opens his mouth and releases a foul smelling breath attack that blocks the strike.
BAM! BAM!
Two jabs hits him on the back, it was Sean, moving in a complex pattern.
He releases a jab but his eyes widens when his opponent grabs his hand.
"Gotcha!"
Sun Descent!
The zombie roars and has to teleport away from the impact.
"You dxmn parasites! You are like leeches that won’t come off!"
Sean grabs him by the throat, he sweeps his legs and then slams him to the ground.
’How did he manage to reach me instantly!?’ The zombie king was shocked.
Sean, on the other hand, was getting better and better, he might not be able to use spiritual energy but his appearance is getting rosier.
HCQC Series, Number 4, Trick Shot!
Using jab as a diversion, he made the zombie king raise his hand to capture his, he steps forward but was stopped by the latter’s kick.
He uses Flow to disperse the power of the kick and grabs the ankle and pushes it forward.
He then dives deeper, putting the leg on his shoulder and throwing him.
The zombie king flips and shifts his upper body, dodging the strike from Wuk.
"Hmm!? Your movement." Sean was stunned to see such fluid action from his opponent, he’s clearly not as mobile as earlier.
"Hahaha! My body is now getting more and more used to this world! It seems that the others have more success than I do!" The zombie king starts moving his body in a flexible manner, no longer as stiff as before.
The speed of the zombie king suddenly increases and he grabs him, his expression changes, he tries to make a move but was punched in the gut.
"You, I can’t believe that you know so many martial arts!" The zombie king praises as he slams him to the ground.
Tai Chi, Fourth Move, Impenetrable Fortress!
His eyes burns with anger, this is the first time he’s facing someone at the same realm on him in terms of martial art.
"Kid, I can’t deny that you had reached the realm of Grandmaster but you aren’t on that level yet!"
Just as the zombie king was about to continue his assault, he suddenly feels danger and throws him away.
Sean looks at his neck and a tiny line can be seen on it.
Unseen Elbow!
Basically similar to invisible elbow but much faster.
[Congratulations for manifesting a rune (Martial Rune).]
Martial Rune: A powerful rune that only Innate Grandmaster martial artist can awaken. It’s one of the high level rune in existence.
Active: (Concept to Reality), turns the concept of martial artists into pseudo Manifestation.
This was an overpowered rune but this also shows just how powerful high level martial artists are.
He dashes towards the zombie king, the latter was frowning, that attack earlier actually pierces through his defense.
Wuk recovers plenty of his energy and rejoins the fight.
The two of them attacks him in a pincer formation, the zombie king calmly summons a wall of bones in front of Sean.
He clenches his fist as an image of a giant ape appears on top of him.
King Kong Punch!
BOOM!
He frowns after destroying the bone wall, he feels his energy being drained much faster than before, also, he seems to be unable to use combination while activating the Martial Rune.
He shakes his head as he takes a step forward and his figure appears in front of the zombie king.
His expression changes as he doesn’t follow up on his One Step Strike.
The zombie king flashes a victorious smile, he uses Wuk as his shield.
A yin and yang diagram appears below Sean, he strikes a palm on the stomach of the zombie king.
He trembles, using this opportunity, Wuk fires a Sun Descent on his face, the two combined attack blows him away.
Wuk’s eyes lights up as he leaps over the supposedly defenseless zombie king.
Sean, with his eyes closed, shifts his position, the zombie king reappears besides him and nearly managed to grab him.
He smiles as he grabs his leg and the latter felt the entire world spinning.
Tai Chi, First Move, Redirection!
Aikido!
He shifts two techniques in quick succession bur his transition was still wasteful and the zombie king manage to escape his grasp.
The zombie king looks at him again and again and clicks his tongue.
"I can’t believe that you actually become a grandmaster at your current rank." Even though his voice is calm, he was inwardly shocked.
Without hesitation, he retreats, he knows just how terrifying a grandmaster is, once Sean recovers from his injury, he would definitely be able to deal with him.
’I need to warn the others about his existence, it seems that those two were right, his existence is abnormal and also a threat to our glorious race.’
The zombie king’s retreat shocked Sean, he didn’t expect that his opponent would do this, just as he was confused on what to do, the undeads starts retreating, leaving only low level undeads that has no intelligence, only basic instinct.
"Did we just made a lesser Innate flee?" He can’t help but ask, Wuk was also surprised.
He can’t sense any presence at the moment but still, seeing that no one is coming, he was finally relieved, suddenly, the world turns pitch black and this was the last thing he remembers.
....
Opening his eyes, he can’t help but groan but sensing the spiritual energy in the air, his eyes lights up.
"Finally! I have recovered! Has it been a day already?"
"Two weeks to be exact." A familiar voice appears besides him.
It was Jericho, sitting besides him.
"Two what? Two weeks!?" He was shocked, he looks around him and can see that they’re in a room that is strangely familiar.
"Don’t worry, we’re in a ship, you just woke up in time, we’re arriving at the Core Zone an hour or two."
"Ship? The Federation has sent reinforcement?"
"More than just reinforcements, they sent three of their Innates and two from the Martial Alliance, they are escorting the prodigies back to the Core Zone and even contacted the Spiritual Alliance to conduct the result of our test."
