Saber Philips sneered. He knew that Asmodeus Spike would make his move after hearing the news that Asmodeus Asama was going to pass the position as the Presidents of the Central Blacksmith Union.
How important was that position? Only high-level demons knew the answer to that question. Asmodeus Spike was one of them and he knew that Asmodeus Asama who was a non-bloodline demon could provide an insane amount of help for him, for the clan, and for the Crown Prince if he was the president.
In terms of Jiliu Feijing? Asmodeus Spike didn't like him at all. More importantly, Saber Jianying died... The love of his life died.
Only a few demons knew that Asmodeus Spike loved Saber Jianying. Saber Nisfur knew about that and he tried to stop them. However, since he wasn't able to change their minds, he implicitly allowed it.
There was no other reason needed. Since Saber Jianying died at Jiliu Feijing's hands, Asmodeus Spike was going to kill him. Didn't matter how severe the Crown Prince was going to punish him, he was going to kill this mixed-blood.
"You dare to disturb me? Die!"
Qian Jin's angry shout instantly cut off Asmodeus Spike and he turned around by the furnace and bent his knees. As he dashed forward and charged at Asmodeus Spike, loud booming noises sounded as if a bunch of cavaliers was moving.
Domination! Arrogance!
All the demons were stunned. Asmodeus Spike was arrogant enough, but this Jiliu Feijing was even more dominating, he was trying to kill Asmodeus Spike directly.
The battle initiated without any "foreplay", and Qian Jin appeared in front of Asmodeus Spike with two of his own forging hammers, they weren't the ones who Bhang Wusheng gave him.
"Die!" Coldness appeared on Asmodeus Spike's eyes as he shouted, His sword-like eyebrows twitched and a Soul-Power-like green demon appeared behind him. His powerful bloodline power was immediately used and his body grew to three meters tall as his skin turned black.
Bulk Demon Bloodline! The Asmodeus Clan also had two of the top 10 bloodlines and Bulk Demon Bloodline was one of them.
Soul-Power! No one expected Asmodeus Spike to achieve it at such a young age! To be exact, it wasn't Soul-Power but very close to it.
Although breaking through the threshold without having to awaken the bloodline power. That was an indication of talent as only the geniuses were able to obtain Soul-Power on their own.
Lucifer Lucy's single eye lit up after seeing this. What Asmodeus Spike was using wasn't Soul-Power but rather a manifestation of a Golden Warrior Heart at its peak. Just like the Fake Soul Technique, the growing Soul-Power was being released prematurely to increase the combat power.
This was pretty much the same as Soul-Power, all the elders around here all agreed that Asmodeus Spike obtained his Soul-Power.
After Asmodeus Spike grew in size, the sword in his hand looked like a thin poisonous snake. Although his body was much bigger, his agility wasn't affected by it. Like a fast monkey, he dashed forward, and his sword pierced through the air.
This combination of big size and fast speed was counter-intuitive and it seemed really dangerous.
This was one of Demon Sword God's signature moves – Chimpanzee's Sword Strike.
Lucifer Lucy was surprised, although this sword strike looked simple, it contained numerous changes and hid numerous dangers.
Under rage, Asmodeus Spike reached the pinnacle of this strike. Even all the elders around him felt like the sword in this Bulk Demon Bloodline Warrior could reach Qian Jin in a split second, it felt like all the distance between Qian Jin and Asmodeus Spike could be avoided by this strike.
Asmodeus Spike's sword was like a living creature as it was really mobile. As if it was a part of his body, it was able to move as he wished. It was hard to separate the demon from the sword.
He became one with the sword.
Although the demons here never practiced the Sword Dao, they all heard the concept that Lucifer Nihao brought up.
At the moment, it seemed like Asmodeus Spike was in the zone, it felt like he only had the sword in this world, and they were connected by blood.
That was right! Even Asmodeus Spike himself felt it. He was on a level that he never reached before and he felt like he was able to strike down a star if he completed his Soul-Power, let alone killing a blacksmith.
Qian Jin suddenly felt like his opponent disappeared and there was only one sword in front of him. He stepped aside casually, but his muscles and bones suddenly vibrated rapidly.
Puff! Asmodeus Spike's sword pierced into Qian Jin's throat. Before he could be happy, he was surprised. "I did strike him, but why do I feel like I didn't hit anything?" he thought.
"Be careful!" Serage's voice sounded.
Qian Jin already appeared behind Asmodeus Spike and struck down at Asmodeus Spike's head using his hammers.
Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes and Innumerable Shadow.
"Sh*t, too late!" Asmodeus Spike thought as all the hair on his body stood up, he sensed death at that moment.
"Stop!"
At the same time, a Bulk Demon Bloodline Warrior who was standing beside Serage moved as well. He had a complete Soul-Power and he was at least a level 8 Soul-Power Warrior.
"Ultra-Fake Soul! Explode!" Qian Jin instantly unleashed the power of all three of his Warrior Hearts, and that super large warrior seal for Ultra-Fake Soul in the third Warrior Heart shone the brightest.
Between Qian Jin's eyebrows, the third Warrior Heart lit up so much that it made Qian Jin's head look like a small sun. That super large warrior seal exploded into pieces and the powerful warrior technique sequences rushed around in Qian Jin's body.
A huge black shadow formed behind Qian Jin. It wiggled, and it twitched, it seemed like it was still growing and hadn't matured yet.
No one could tell what it was as if prematurely appeared in the world.
As the warrior power surged, the shadow formed a rough shape of a devil. Both of its fists were covered by an egg-shaped light sphere; one of the light spheres was light a red sun, and the other one was like a golden egg.
"What is this? Soul-Power? Wait, it is not!"
All the elders present were shocking as they didn't know what it was.
At the same time, Qian Jin's hammers drew a strange line in the air as it smashed onto the spear coming from his back.
The sneak attacker thought his spear strike would pierce through Qian Jin's body, but Qian Jin's hammers blocked it perfectly.
Although Asmodeus Spike's sword strike was impressive, Jiliu Feijing's hammer strike was on another level.
In front of this hammer strike, the glare coming off of Asmodeus Spike's sword dimmed.
It was like comparing dust to diamonds, the difference was just too big.
"A good chance!" right after the death sensation disappeared, Asmodeus Spike ignored the potential injuries and forcefully rotated his legs. As the ground cracked a little, his swords lit up again.
"Die!" Asmodeus Spike shouted as he felt like he was never this angry before. As the most talented disciple of Demon Sword God, his strike was dodged and he was played.
Tink! Boom!
The hammer struck onto the spear, the two explosive forces collided, and the real Warrior Soul and the Ultra-Fake Soul also smashed into each other.
Bam!...
The surface of the spear cracked a little and a few pieces of metal chipped off of it. The demon who struck Qian Jin from the behind took three steps back as his black skin turned a little red and his Warrior Soul also backed off with him as the lights it was emitting dimmed down, looking a little unstable.
Bam!
Qian Jin's Ultra-Fake Soul exploded and the thick black smoke-like energy flew back into his body. The collision directly sent Qian Jin flying.
The Soul-Power of a top ten Bloodline Warrior was far stronger than the Ultra-Fake Soul. Facing a level 5 Soul-Power Warrior, Qian Jin was still no match. However, he was still agile. Using the repulsive force of the collision, he rotated his body in the air and dodged the strike from Asmodeus Spike.
"You want to escape? You will die today!"
Asmodeus Spike shouted as he chased after Qian Jin like a shadow.
Boom! Ultra-Fake Soul appeared in the air again! After the black energy returned to Qian Jin's body, it entered the first Warrior Heart and was empowered by the other warrior seal of the Ultra Fake Soul. This Ultra-Fake Soul was even stronger than before.
At this moment, Qian Jin felt like his reservoirs and connections that were all reinforced numerous times by the [Volcano Potions] and Golden Warrior Hearts were about to be torn by this insane amount of force. Loud rumbling noises sounded from his body and all the demons in the yard were able to hear it clearly.
