Chapter 76 Halfdead
Though he complained, delight could still be seen within Seth's eyes as he used his right hand to protect his face just before he received the blunt impact of the attack at point-blank range.
With blood spurting from his chest, Seth was sent flying backward, but just before his feet could touch the ground, the blazing man appeared beside him and began raining down series of punches on him.
Three heavy hits to the chest and blood was forced out of Seth's lips, then he delivered a thunderous kick which sent Seth flying off and smashing into the wall of the room, but the flaming man wasn't satisfied as the next second he bent his body down onto a tiger stance, and a following this action, a tiger apparition made of flames appeared around him, then without a roar, from both the man and the apparition, the tiger shot at Seth's crash site.
"boom"
The collision sent the whole base trembling, and unsurprisingly the tall ceiling of the room they were in came crashing down, exposing the room to the outside world as sunlight fall on the faces of the room's standing inhabitants who floated up and out of the newly made hole in the earth, they stayed up in the air and looked down at the dust cloud and smoke.
With a swipe of the woman's hand, a wind went by, carrying along with it the dust and smoke and giving the three people in the air a clear view of the incredible destruction the man's attack had wrought.
"I didn't expect you to suddenly launch such a powerful attack so early into the fight, were you frightened by him, " the woman said as she begin sweeping around with her soul sense.
"hmmph, I got a little carried away," the man said with his hands folded as he arrogantly looked at the destruction he had caused.
"Amelia you've been awfully quiet" do you think he's dead," the woman asked.
"I don't know Madam Diana" Amelia respectfully answered, " but I think I'm going to wait over on the ship," she said and already began flying away when the gruff man spoke,
"Found him, Diana wait here and Amelia you're staying till I get back," the gruff man said and then shot back to the ground
Hearing his words Amelia froze in the air, and though hesitation filled her eyes, made no complaint as she flew back and hovered some distance behind Diana, Diana had wanted to say something but in the end, she just stayed silent as she watched her husband fly off.
"Amelia, what do you think? is it possible that he's actually at the soldier level, his qi has neither spirit nor soul traces in it" Diana said after some seconds.
"I don't know" Amelia tentatively answered, "back then I ran several checks on him even as he died or seemed to die, but my conclusion was that he was always at the cadet stage, but now he returns from the dead and he's a 3rd stage soldier, with the size of his dantian even being comparable to that of a 2nd stage general, I really don't what to think anymore"
"I see," Diana said with a nod of her head as she watched her husband try to engage in another show of physical strength, but after getting trashed again he began flushing the whole place with waves of fire.
"Madam Diana" Amelia called out as she fidgeted, and Diana noticing this looked at her inquisitively.
"I think we should leave, Sir Jinkins won't win, he'll be killed" Amelia gathered up her courage and said while looking Dian in the eye.
While Amelia was still in her 200s Diana was said to be around 400, and she had reached a level of power that Amelia saw no chance of ever reaching, so she had to treat her respectfully, and telling her that her husband would die might just be the trigger that ended her life, but surprisingly Dian a didn't flare up, instead she calmly replied her.
"Not many people know that Jinkins is 460 years old, and has already begun to touch upon the fire law, he has a 99% chance of breaking into the 3rd stage and with that the opportunity to use an Ascension orb" Diana calmly said, but her words left Amelia stuttering.
"Asc..asc..ascension" Amelia whispered in shock, "touch the fire law"
"Yes" Diana replied but there was no trace of pride or joy in her tone.
"Look down, Jinkins is dominating the battle, and though the boy seems to have a lot of tricks, the truth is that Jinkins hasn't even begun to use his full power," Diana said with a sigh, one could see that there was unhappiness in her eyes when she talked about Jinkins.
"Madam Diana," Amelia said while taking in a deep breath after recovering from her shock, I swear that I killed him, both I and Treuchi watched him die," Amelia said with a firm face.
"I have no reason to doubt you," Diana said, "but don't worry were going to investigate his mysterious strength and resurrection when Jinkins captures him"
"Though I still find it hard to believe that some days ago that man was just at the cadet stage, and now he's already broken through to the 3rd stage soldier level and is now fighting a 2nd stage Kaiser," Diana thought out loud.
Just as Dian finished speaking these words, she and Amelia heard a loud sound ringing in their ears and then suddenly felt a powerful presence descend upon them and before they knew it they both began falling to the ground.
Both women struggled to keep afloat to no avail, and before they knew it they were on the ground, barely able to soften their fall.
Diana was the first to recover and immediately she got up on her knees, she froze while the same thing happened to Amelia a few seconds later, and ahead of the them, they could see Jinkins flat on the ground dragging himself toward them with only a single hand, and why a single hand you may wonder, well, it was because he was only left with half of his body below his head having lost his left hand, leg and some of his chest, though for Amelia, she froze when she found Seth standing before her.
