Child of Destiny

Chapter 1152: The Ideal State for a Battle Genius (Part 2)

...…

As Shin hopped up and down from his spot while relaxing his muscles and loosening his joints, his hands played with his daggers, tossing them in the air with skillful dexterity.

But after a few moments, Shin knitted his brows before keeping the daggers and taking out his white katana.

He knew that he had to hide his identity, but he felt that his current state needed him to use his real mentalism techniques, both his Jade Kirin Scripture and the Four Symbol Scripture. He felt that it was a chance for him to combine these two mentalism methods.

Whatʼs more, his opponent would not be able to quickly identify him since the Black Serpent Mafia was more familiar with his Martial Arts since he rarely used his Mentalism on any occasion. He was keeping a low profile even when doing the assignments that the Springfield Family had given him. And even at those times, he was using his Martial Arts since he got his Mentalism quite late.

Even if the Black Serpent Mafia would learn about his Mentalism since he was now mostly using it now due to his current circumstances, they would not be able to easily find out about him, especially when he killed all the witnesses.

…

Ezikiel looked at Shin with a solemn expression as he could feel an immense threat coming from the latter. He was observing Shin closely as the aura of the latter continued to spike up with immense pressure.

And when he saw Shin taking out his white katana, that pressure became much heavier, making the expression that he had become uglier.

Swoosh!

Shinʼs foot tapped the ground gently before his figure disappeared.

”It is coming!” muttered Ezikiel as he quickly responded. He swung his sword in front of him without showing any hesitation. He might not be able to see Shin, but he could at least feel the fluctuations in the air, giving him an idea of where the latter was.

Shing!

The sword slashed down, cutting through the air.

Shin, who suddenly appeared in front of Ezikiel, suddenly ducked to the side and avoided the attack. The light that was being reflected by the sword shone through Shin as he put his hand on the hilt of the sheathed katana in a gentle manner.

The instant Shinʼs hand touched the katana, Ezikiel felt an extreme danger that washed over his whole body. ”Not good!”

Without any hesitation, he quickly retreated. He knew that it would be the end of him if he was even a millisecond too late.

ʼJade Kirin Scripture: Quickly Draw – Flash Horizonʼ

Shing!

A flash of light was released right after the katana was unsheathed before a shining trail traced through the air.

Ezikiel was barely able to save himself due to his fast reaction. But regardless of it, the tip of the katana grazed his shirt, cutting a thin horizontal line in front of his chest.

Ta-ta!

The second his feet landed on the ground, he quickly channeled his Natural Force on his sword and swung it forward. A gust of wind was suddenly created which was immediately followed by a sword wave that flew straight to Shin.

Shin stared at the incoming sword wave for an instant before his feet suddenly shone with ʼHasteʼ runes that increased his speed. And at the same time, he executed a movement technique to go around the sword wave and caught up to Ezikiel within an instant.

ʼHoly Azure Dragon Method: Stepping through the Cloudsʼ

Swoosh!

A trail of pale blue lights followed Shinʼs movements, giving off the impression that a dragon was swimming through the air.

And when he arrived in front of his opponent once again, his already-sheathed sword was pulled out once again as he struck forward with a quick stab.

Clink!

ʼJade Kirin Scripture: Quickly Draw – Flash Strikeʼ

Shing!

Clang!

Ezikiel quickly retracted his sword and placed it in front of him in a horizontal manner, accurately blocking the tip of the katana, which was coming straight for his heart. His Natural Force was covering the blade of the sword, reinforcing its toughness.

”Grr! Donʼt you dare underestimate me!” Ezikiel felt humiliated as he was pushed back by the strong force behind the strike from Shin.

It was just a few exchanges, but he was immediately thrown to a disadvantage. As someone who was regarded highly by the organization for his talent, he felt that the person in front of him was telling him that he was not worthy of his executioner title.

”F*ck! I donʼt care who you are! I will show you that you canʼt mess with me!” he shouted with full rage before stepping forward.
