Chapter 315: Chapter 301: Meeting the Law

The long-handled giant axe is too lengthy. In theory, every swing should have a significant gap.

But this giant axe doesn’t have that.

No matter how far the Barbarian Star Axe swings, as long as it doesn’t hit, it will make a second swing at an unimaginable speed.

The long axe is like a sword.

Misty blood moons swung by the giant axe were like a pack of beasts, rushing towards Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng had never encountered such a bizarre attack method before. He had only seen it in videos. It was the unique power of the beastmen.

Gradually, Zhou Leng’s skin broke out in dense sweat.

The skin of the Barbarian Star Axe also exuded light blood sweat. The sweat evaporated, turning into blood-colored skin, covering the green skin.

Both parties watching from afar had slight changes in their mindset.

The beastmen didn’t expect Zhou Leng to be so strong. Any beastman here would have already been chopped into minced meat by the Barbarian Star Axe.

The Humanoid Alliance team didn’t expect the Barbarian Star Axe to be this strong. Their sole hope was shattered by the overwhelming blood moonlight.

They realized that if the whole team faced the Barbarian Star Axe, none of them would survive even a minute.

Under the huffing sound of the giant axe, Zhou Leng’s lightweight skill reached its limit, and his body technique constantly shifted.

The clothes kept tearing apart.

The skin frequently revealed light red wounds, which were swiftly stitched by Qi and blood.

At this moment, Zhou Leng’s skin was already invulnerable to swords and spears, but when grazed by the blood-colored moon blade of the giant axe, he inevitably got injured.

Zhou Leng remained calm, without a hint of impatience.

In his mind, countless martial arts shadows flashed by.

In his eyes, the endless blood moons formed by the long-handled giant axe were reflected.

In this moment, Zhou Leng seemed to return to the Celestial Tier Battlefield, comprehending martial arts.

However, before him were the mysteries of the ocean and the techniques of the Black and White People. Now, it was the blood moon of the Barbarian Star Axe.

The Heart and Mind Shadow was indeed not as fierce as the No Return Battle Technique, nor as steadfast as the Mountain River Guardian.

But, it had its own method, its own path, neither superior nor inferior.

After hundreds of moves, Zhou Leng’s mind gently swayed.

A familiar “One” character stood high in his mind, overlooking all divine texts and martial arts.

This “One” was identical to the one seen in the Meditation Room of the Ancient River Sect.

It was very similar to the wave patterns carved with fingers by the mysterious shadow on the Ancient River Jade Stele.

In this instant, Zhou Leng bathed as in a sweet rain, the celestial light washing over his body.

The essence of Heart and Mind Shadow is to see its technique, perceive its method, observe its path.

What is seen is what is known; what is known is what is acquired, and what is acquired can be broken.

In his mind, the “Ten Thousand Laws” heard from the Four Paths of the Three Sons of Ancient River formed a divine text, but quickly vanished without a trace.

In a flash, the world before him subtly changed.

The previous giant axe had transformed into countless residual images of blood moons, and the axe body was nowhere seen.

The technique and the axe were distorted and altered by the exotic power of the Barbarian Star Axe, resulting in Zhou Leng being at a loss.

Now, having perceived all the changes in the techniques, the axe body revealed itself.

The trajectory of the giant axe appeared as if illuminated by the moon.

From this point, the attack of the Barbarian Star Axe was merely slightly stronger and faster, with no secrets left.

Zhou Leng realized clearly.

He had trained for so many years, learned, and seen so many techniques. The attacking style of the Barbarian Star Axe was nothing new.

It was just that he hadn’t mastered the fundamentals of the cultivation techniques to the utmost, and when faced with slightly altered, stronger opponents, he was at a loss.

Everything experienced in his mind earlier was not about discovering the problems with the Barbarian Star Axe.

Instead, it was about rediscovering what he had learned.

“With my body, I shall wipe out all demons.”

Zhou Leng’s heart clarified, stepping forward.

Swish…

The axe blade passed by, a strand of hair severed, fluttering in the air.

Zhou Leng stepped forward again, with eyes as bright as the stars. The Barbarian Star Axe instinctively retreated a step, continuing to swing the giant axe, keeping distance.

Zhou Leng gently tapped with his right hand, a crisp clang sounded, altering the direction of the giant axe’s movement, his body swaying like a willow branch, avoiding it.

Again stepping forward.

The fighting parties in the background slowly paused, gradually separating, collectively turning their eyes to Barbarian Star Axe and Zhou Leng.

Neither side understood what was happening.

At the beginning, the Barbarian Star Axe was pressing ahead with the intent to eliminate completely.

But now, Zhou Leng inexplicably stepped forward, treating the giant axe as nothing.

The giant axe of the Barbarian Star Axe wasn’t weakening, the wind roared, the blood moons filled the air.

Yet Zhou Leng was able to strike the giant axe from various strange angles, either blocking or dodging, continually advancing.

Barbarian Star Axe kept retreating.

He was utterly puzzled, Zhou Leng now, making moves as if divine, always striking the weak point of the giant axe, neutralizing its power, affecting his next move, causing flaws in his techniques.

Long-handled weapons are powerful with each extra inch, but once a flaw appears, it’s far harder to remedy than ordinary weapons.

He could only retreat.

It was like a movie in reverse, Zhou Leng advancing, the Barbarian Star Axe retreating.

Zhou Leng’s steps were faster than the Barbarian Star Axe’s.

The distance between the two kept decreasing.

Barbarian Star Axe had to retract the giant axe, shrinking it to two meters long.

The large axe shrank, its speed abruptly increased, the gaps narrowed.

Zhou Leng continued forward, and the Barbarian Star Axe kept retreating.

The Barbarian Star Axe retreated to where they initially engaged, retreated to where the two teams were, continuing to back away.

Both teams dispersed to the sides.

“You are strong indeed.”

The Barbarian Star Axe finally realized, he needed to change.

He released the axe handle with his left hand, holding the axe single-handedly, treating it as a sword, rushing forward to cut Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng leaned back to dodge, kicking at the Barbarian Star Axe’s left leg.

The Barbarian Star Axe channeled power into his left leg, taking the kick, using his tall body and long arms to punch towards Zhou Leng’s side waist.

The Barbarian Star Axe was kicked in the calf, body swaying.

Zhou Leng lifted the Barbarian Star Axe’s fist with his right hand, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

The Barbarian Star Axe kicked out, Zhou Leng pushed off the ground with feet and hands, his body tracing an incredible arc, moving to the side of the Barbarian Star Axe, dodging that kick, and kicked the Barbarian Star Axe again.

Barbarian Star Axe was furious, attacking continuously.

Zhou Leng’s Martial Arts were too strong, with skillful use far surpassing the Barbarian Star Axe.

They exchanged over thirty moves, Zhou Leng was only hit three times but struck the Barbarian Star Axe a full fourteen times.

The Barbarian Star Axe was the grandson of a Demigod, his body undeniably strong.

But Zhou Leng had a Giant Body, not a typical Vitality Stage.

“I underestimated you.”

The Barbarian Star Axe finally realized that his fear-of-death fighting style was firmly countered by a human Martial Arts master.

He suddenly let out a low growl, his heart beating like a drum, thundering three times.

Suddenly, strips of muscle emerged from beneath his skin, weaving and entwining to form a flesh armor, protecting his entire body.

This was a power originally only possessed by Innate Beastmen.

“You must die.”

After saying this, the Barbarian Star Axe charged straight at Zhou Leng, swinging his axe with his right hand, while his left hand waited for an opportunity.

Zhou Leng saw the Barbarian Star Axe change tactics, willing to exchange injuries, completely unafraid.

No retreat, he actively met the attack.

Silently, his left hand gripped the axe handle, while his right hand attacked the Barbarian Star Axe.

One hand from each of them gripped the axe handle, repeatedly contesting for the axe.

Their strengths were similar, hard to distinguish superiority for the moment.

The other hand turned into afterimages, clashing and colliding.

The Barbarian Star Axe’s left fist was wrapped in flesh armor, each strike fierce and forceful.

Zhou Leng’s right palm, each move a killing move, surge upon surge.

With each palm strike, the True Qi within him surged immensely, intensifying each attack.

Bam… bam…

The flesh armor on the Barbarian Star Axe’s left fist exploded, the fist became a bloody mess, the skin, flesh, and bone were blasted into a mass by the powerful Sea Suppressing True Qi, slightly sinking into the wrist.

Zhou Leng’s right palm was a bloody mess, bones cracking; with each palm strike, blood splattered from the pores of his right arm.

The Sea Suppressing True Qi was too strong, using too many killing moves started to injure his flesh.

However, both of them were like fierce beasts from the wilderness, not backing down an inch.

Zhou Leng moved forward, the Barbarian Star Axe retreated, fists and palms clashed.

Bam… bam…

They crashed into the forest, the Barbarian Star Axe’s back breaking tree trunks.

Zhou Leng’s eyes glowed.

With a push from his left hand, he pushed away the large axe, arms extended forward, both palms striking together.

It was still the killing move, surge upon surge, but different now, from five to six forms of the killing move.

Surges upon surges, but in the Two Dragons Emerging from the Water style.

Both palms, like surges crashing against the shore, struck the Barbarian Star Axe’s left fist.

Crack…

The flesh and skin on the Barbarian Star Axe’s left fist exploded, the spherical blast crushed hand bone deeply sunk into the wrist.

The wrist bone fractured, flesh and bone rose up.

His left forearm swelled into a massive combination of flesh and bone.

“Ah…” The Barbarian Star Axe finally let out a wretched cry, wielding the axe with his right hand in a chopping motion.

Zhou Leng ducked down to avoid it, withdrew his injured right arm, and the left arm surged, launching out.

The Barbarian Star Axe dodged in a panic to the side, Zhou Leng’s palm struck a large tree.

A tree as thick as a hug broke in half, flying backward, wood shavings scattered.

The Barbarian Star Axe panicked and turned to flee.

Zhou Leng took a big step forward, chasing the Barbarian Star Axe amidst the swirling dust and shattered grass.

One chased, one fled.

Where they passed, trees toppled, leaves floated wildly, the earth sunk, roaring again and again.

As they chased and fled, battling along the way, they carved out a path in the forest.

The path cut through the forest, with trees submitting to the ground.

The Beastman and the Humanoid Alliance’s two groups were scared to their cores, trailing far behind, not daring to get close.

After more than ten minutes, the two fought through the forest and charged onto the prairie.

Zhou Leng’s right arm dangled, with a few deep axe-cut wounds added to his body.

The entire flesh armor of the Barbarian Star Axe was rotted, leaving large flesh holes struck by Zhou Leng.

More than half of the flesh armor disintegrated, revealing green skin.

On the skin, clear palm prints, fist marks, or finger holes emerged.

The two rushed up a hillside and then ran downhill.

At the bottom of the slope came a small team of Demons, mostly composed of Demonized Martial Artists and Sea Sirens.

The team included Shen Jun and Azure Scale, among others.

Everyone stopped, looking at the two charging towards them.

They recognized the two people chasing each other.

One was the fourth on the young rankings, the Barbarian Star Axe, wielding the iconic Blood Axe with his right hand, even with wounds all over and a swollen face, it couldn’t hide the dominance of a demigod bloodline.

The other one was Zhou Leng, whom they had been discussing repeatedly.

Shen Jun seeing this scene was scared out of his wits; how dare Zhou Leng chase the Barbarian Star Axe?

As for Azure Scale, at first glance he was also afraid, but then realized both were heavily injured, and Zhou Leng wasn’t lightly harmed.

He immediately deduced that Zhou Leng led people to besiege and severely injure the Barbarian Star Axe, and then pursued him alone.

Just a few months ago, he had fought with Zhou Leng, too aware of Zhou Leng’s strength.

“Barbarian Star Axe, I’ll help you!”

“Scram!”

“Hmph!” Azure Scale saw the domineering Barbarian Star Axe and coldly laughed, knowing Zhou Leng’s strength himself; to be beaten to such a state by Zhou Leng, how strong could he possibly still be?

Azure Scale stepped on the ground, rushing toward Zhou Leng, while also keeping an eye on the Barbarian Star Axe; he knew too well what these Beastman Demons were like, often turning on their allies.
