Chapter 1865 Breaking Their Knives and Not Hurting the People
Han Sen did not plan on escaping this time. He
had already achieved first place here, so there was little to worry about. Now it was time for him to show off the knife skills that Yisha had taught him.
Yisha had been teaching him Teeth Knife for a while, and by now, that was what he was best at.
Now he needed to perform what he had learned well in order to avoid disappointing her. If he made her happy, it was only expectable that he would receive more resources from her. So, this next move would be more important than anything.
He gripped his Ghost Teeth Knife as he ran towards Night Giant God. He was holding the hilt, but the weapon was still inside its sheath. He hadn't drawn it.
"Good timing!" Night Giant God shouted, as he swung his own knife with greater strength.
His geno art was called Battle River. It was a water geno art. Water geno arts were usually quite soft, and they had a sense of infinity about them. They were usually quite effective against something hard.
But Battle River was different. It was a really rough water geno art, that was like a river coming down from the sky. It was the strongest strike, and that was just the beginning.
Backed by the knife skills of the Rebate, his attack would be so fast and so strong. No one at the same level would be able to block him.
Han Sen did not plan on escaping. He slashed with Ghost Teeth Knife, and he used Teeth Knife skills to perform the technique Tooth-for-a-Tooth.
This was different from Tusk. This move changed depending on the opponent. If the foe was cruel, then it'd be cruder than them. If the foe was hard, then it would be harder than them. If the foe was obscene, it would be obscener than them.
Night Giant God was striking very hard, and so Han Sen did the same thing.
There was no way around this.
They are going for a direct collision with each other! Night Giant God was born powerful. He has five hundred flowers despite being a Baron. Very few people can fight him. Although he does not have a King class weapon, I don't think it matters all that much. Han Sen himself can't cast the King class power of his weapon, after all," someone who knew Night Giant God said.
Dong!
Ghost Teeth Knife and Night Giant God's knife came against each other. The thin and curved Ghost Teeth Knife, coming against the large knife of the opposition, did not look appropriately scaled.
But the purple blade of Ghost Teeth cleaved right into the big knife. It shattered the big knife, sending fragments flying everywhere.
Ghost Teeth Knife did not stop. It kept coming forward towards Night Giant God. When it was less than one inch away from his head, just about brushing his hair, the knife stopped dead.
Night Giant God's eyes were opened wide, and sweat broke out across his brow. He did not dare to move at all.
Han Sen smiled. He put the knife away and walked right past Night Giant God.
"You only won because you have a King class weapon. I will fight you." Another Baron appeared. He moved like a ghost and tried to attack Han Sen's neck with a dagger.
But within a second, his dagger was also broken.
A few other Barons came at Han Sen at the same time, prompting him to move. But wherever Ghost Teeth Knife went, a broken weapon would follow in its wake. No one's weapon could withstand the strike of that knife.
"Powerful, that Teeth Knife skill is," the beautiful man said in compliment.
The man with the head of a cow replied, "He is a powerful man."
Han Sen kept on swinging his blade fearlessly. If any Baron came close, he'd break their weapon. He was not killing anyone, though. He'd simply break their knives and that was it. If he did start killing, the entirety of Narrow Moon would likely consider him an enemy.
The Barons could not stop Han Sen's advance. And before long, it was a Viscount that tried him next.
The sword of the Viscount came at him like a shadow. The swordlight became a flash of light that weaved a net of strikes to attack Han Sen all at once. This was a Rebate skill known as Moon Shadow Slash.
Han Sen kept on moving, not slowing down as he came towards the sword net. He used a Teeth slash towards the Viscount.
The Viscount was shocked by the boldness, because Han Sen was now moving toward where Moon Shadow Slash actually began. The net was just an illusion, and it wasn't where the actual sword was going to strike.
It was too late for him to withdraw his sword, too. So, the Viscount committed to the slash, as the swordlight came down on Han Sen's Ghost Teeth Knife.
Katcha!
A large chunk was carved out of the Viscount's sword. This wasn't because the Ghost Teeth Knife was sharp and hard.
Dog Teeth was based on the concept of a heavy strike. Many Rebate used this skill, as it was infamous for destroying popular swords. Many King class weapons were missing chunks due to this technique.
And seeing that the Viscount was unable to block Han Sen, many other Viscounts swept forward to stop him. They were afraid he'd run off again.
But this time, Han Sen was not planning to run. He had achieved first place already, and now was the time to show off. The better he performed, the more resources Yisha might be willing to give him. This was his best chance of securing valuables.
He had Yisha as back-up, anyway. He wasn't afraid anyone could actually do something to him.
Han Sen used his knife to fight many Nobles, all alone. The Barons had stopped, so it was mostly just the Viscounts that were fighting him now.
Han Sen did not use his Viscount Jadeskin, though. He maintained his Baron class for the fight. He didn't use his Teeth Rabbit shoes, either. He was only using his Ghost Teeth Knife to fight back against the Viscounts.
"It looks like Knife Queen recruited him a long time ago. How long she's been training him, god only knows. But it would take a decade for him to reach this sort of level." Night River King hummed.
Yisha was shocked, too. She knew exactly how long she had been teaching him: Han Sen had only been with her for a few months. She had not taught him for long, at all. The last skill he learned was eight days ago.
It was shocking that Han Sen could use Teeth Knife with that level of proficiency.
"Is he a knife master?" Yisha had a complicated look.
Han Sen's performance kept on surprising her. As a teacher, she was very lucky to have such a student. She had only taken him on in a bet to find out where Dollar might be, but she felt like having him as a student was not a negative thing, at all.
"Should I expect more from him?" Yisha wondered. But whenever she did, the thought of The Story of Genes would return and give her a headache.
"He is good at Teeth Knife, yes, but he is not one of the Rebate. It is difficult for him to use Teeth Power. Even though he is good at it, it is still a waste." Moon Wheel King felt ashamed.
Seeing that the Viscounts could not block Han Sen, and no one could strike, it seemed likely Han Sen would be able to escape.
The beautiful man then decided to teleport in front of Han Sen. His bone knife was forged from dragon bones. He slashed towards Han Sen.
Chapter 1866 Son of the Moon
"Bullsh*t! Why did he join the fight? An Earl fighting a Baron? What is this?" An old man that was of a higher rank saw the beautiful man step into the fight. This displeased him a lot.
When most average people saw this, however, they did not mind. In fact, they were quite excited to see the beautiful man fight.
"Gao Ji's attacking! His Dragon Sun knife skill is a Dragon Moan, and not even Viscounts can withstand something like that. Han Sen will surely suffer now."
"Haha. It'll be good to squash this outsider's reputation. If this hadn't occurred, this entire Moon God's Festival would have been his show."
"Knife Queen is so powerful. She selected a very powerful student. It may be difficult, being a Baron, but his luck and talents are very good."
"Of course. It sounds like you guys thought she only picked him because he's good-looking."
"It's true that he doesn't look bad. He is suitable to earn respect amongst the beauty of the Rebate, but when compared with us, he is only average. There are many more handsome Rebate men that far exceed him."
"It is fine if he loses to Gao Ji. He has done well."
The Nobles and the commoners were talking. Yisha, Moon Wheel King, and Night River King were in absolute shock. Gao Ji's Dragon Moan was shocking. It was capable of freezing Viscounts on the spot.
But Han Sen had proven resilient to it, and he was not affected. Han Sen still gripped his knife, and just as the copper knife was about to hit him, he drew out his Ghost Teeth Knife.
Seeing Ghost Teeth Knife about to slice open Gao Ji's neck, the observers still had to remember that Earls were Earls. Their speed and reaction times were too fast to comprehend. A green dragon of light swiftly appeared to swallow Gao Ji's body.
Dong!
Ghost Teeth Knife hit the green dragon's shadow. Han Sen tried his hardest, but he was unable to break the shadow of that dragon. Han Sen did not put his knife away, though. He still used his knife to release a purple mist, right next to the green shadow.
Gao Ji frowned. He had used his green shadow dragon's power to shake Han Sen away from him.
The moonlight of Narrow Moon was like water. The moonlight shone on Han Sen, bathing him in its glow. He was getting stronger, and Gao Ji couldn't do anything to get away from him. Ghost Teeth Knife was still mauling the green dragon shadow.
Within that moonlight, Han Sen's strength continued to rise. Still, he hadn't accumulated the strength necessary to overcome his opponent. The moonlight buff was strong, though, and Gao Ji continued to use his green dragon shadow, though he still wasn't succeeding in shaking Han Sen loose.
"D*nnn! A moonlight buff! Is that a blessing of the Moon God?"
"It must be. Did you not hear the Moon God say that Han Sen is the Sun of the Moon? Wherever there is a moon, he will earn a buff by it."
That is way too strong. It has buffed a Baron enough to compete against an Earl. This is too incredible to believe."
"Maybe, but it obviously isn't fake. This is Narrow Moon, and there is an abundance of moons. The buffs Han Sen can receive here are very strong. Anyone of the same tier who tries to fight him here must have a death wish."
"Does that mean Narrow Moon has become Han Sen's territory?"
Yes. Otherwise, he would not have been given the title Son of the Moon."
Gao Ji looked glum, unable to shake Han Sen away. So, he decided to go on the offensive and slash towards his opponent. His knife carried a green dragon light and a dragon bone.
Han Sen did not think his title would bear such significance. The moonlight power there was far too strong, so much so that it allowed him to do battle with an Earl.
Han Sen did not retreat. He used Tooth-for-a-Tooth and struck towards the green dragon light. Ghost Teeth Knife came against the fully-powered green dragon knife, and still, it managed to block the green dragon knife.
They stopped right there, with both knives repeatedly colliding with each other.
Katcha!
A crack appeared on the green dragon knife, which then began to expand and spread across the shadow of the green dragon. It made the green dragon shadow start to look like a shattered mirror.
Dong!
Ghost Teeth Knife and the green copper knife came against each other again. Gao Ji had to withdraw his green copper knife and reluctantly fall back. His powers were less than the moonlight buff given to Han Sen.
Gao Ji looked cold. He swung his knife with a desire to fight, but his face changed when he saw his own blade.
Ghost Teeth Knife had dealt a crack to the green copper knife. And soon after, the crack started to spread, until the green copper knife was wrought with an entire web of cracks.
"This is..." Yisha stood up from her seat. With wide eyes, she intently observed the cracks that were rapidly manifesting across the green copper knife.
Yisha, Moon Wheel King, and Night River King, who knew about Teeth powers, suddenly felt their faces grow pale. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing.
"No way..." Night River King looked to be in shock, and he could do nothing but stare at the green copper knife.
Katcha!
Gao Ji swung his knife again, but when he put the green dragon light into the green copper knife, there was a sound. And then, the green copper knife shattered into pieces. It was reduced into nothing but bits, surrounded by a horrible purple mist.
"Teeth power."
Everyone had those two words form in their mind. But even still, it was hard to believe that it was true.
That was the Rebate's strongest geno art. It was the strongest skill the entire race of the Rebate possessed. Not many could practice that, not even amongst the Rebate. But now, an outsider had just used Teeth power to defeat a Rebate Earl in battle. The Rebate could not believe this was happening.
Everyone knew Knife Queen was good with Teeth Knife, and everyone knew Han Sen was her only student. Everyone knew Han Sen practiced Teeth Knife.
But no one thought, or even dreamed, Han Sen could successfully use Teeth powers.
In the hearts of the Rebate, learning Teeth power would place you amongst the most talented of the whole race. Now, the glory and pride had been crushed by Han Sen. That strike had made all the Rebate shocked. They could not even think straight.
"It is no wonder that Knife Queen took him as a student. It wasn't just for fun." Night River King looked dim.
"An outsider can use Teeth power, and that person is Knife Queen's student. Is he good or bad for Narrow Moon?"
Moon Wheel King was in shock, too.
Yisha was the one who was shocked the most, though. Her mind had yet to return to her. "How could he have practiced Teeth power?"
