Webnovel - A.F.D.E. - Chapter 15 - Budding Martial Strength (II)

"Sprouting nonsense! You little brat, I'll show you..." Wu'An suddenly yelled, recovering from an initial shock.

"Wei Chuan, go get him." Wei Chuan's eyes moved from Wu'An annoyed face to Gu Taixu's evil grin and finally back to Wu'An. He stood where he was, trepidating.

"Hmph! I'll do it myself then. Back me up if you will!"

Wu'An fearlessly launched himself forward and clawed his hands exposing his long fingernails filled with Martial energy.

"Dragon Thirteen Claws!" He yelled as his slashed out the power of an Incomplete High Grade skill. Standing by the side, Wei Chuan marveled,

" Wu'An had perfected 3 of the 13 levels of the Dragon Thirteen Claws technique. This power pushes him to the limit of the Level 2 of the Foundational Realm!"

Seeing the rapidly approaching technique, Gu Taixu circulated his energy for a thrust,

"Blazing Meteor Line!"

With the speed of lightning, this power was released from his index finger.

"You approach me with a finger! Ha-ha, I feel completely bluffed!"

Facing seemingly underestimation, Wu'An pooled all his energy into the technique,

B-OOOOM Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Meeting Gu Taixu seemingly weak finger, he received the shock of his life. He took 5 solid steps back before he could stabilize himself. Even so, two trails of blood leaked from his mouth into his blue robes before he could wipe it off.

That power... That power was beyond the Level 2 realm. It's only felt some what similar to his sparring with his Elder Martial brother, Wu Chou. Feeling gradually weaker, Gu Taixu switched targets,

"What did you do? How did you increase your power up to this level? At the beginning..." Chen Yilin stuttered in utter horror.

Ignoring him, Gu Taixu swung into action,

"Rest, Brother Chen," Gu Taixu assured confidently, " I'll take it from here."

"Be careful." Chen Yilin warned, just short of the incoming onslaught.

" Metallic Wooden Blow!"

"Fiery Sealing Heaven Punch!"

"Flaming Rocky Fist!"

Warily, the second group of attackers exhibited their skills. Like a horse in battle, Gu Taixu dauntless faced them.

"Silver Star Stroke!" He yelled as he punched out at full strength, using his two fists.

"This skill again," Wei Chuan said horrified. Forever, this skill had etched in his mind a scene of world destruction.

The blinding light shone again, disillusioning the two Level 1 Martial artists such that their techniques broke down midway. So it was just the Fiery Sealing Heaven Punch clashed with the two star forms. When the collision occurred, the Fiery Sealing Heaven technique was immediately put out like a candle as the star forms marched forward.

"Oh no!" The attackers all shrieked.

On the other side, Wu'An and Wei Chuan prepared to flee as they would be the next targets. In their minds' eye they already saw Gu Taixu as a monster eating their flesh and picking their bones apart.

Suddenly and then in the nick of time, a figure appeared before them and blocked the Star Stroke with a technique Gu Taixu had seen before,

"Dragon Thirteen Claws!" Clawing his hand in a similar fashion to Wu'An, he slashed out.

The dust rode and leaves on the trees fluttered wildly as the two techniques cancelled themselves out. The winner could not be decided.

Chasing though the dust for as while, Gu Taixu saw a fleeing figure whose silhouette could not be mistaken. Wu Chou!

He had dissolved the attack on their behalf and taken them, away. Gu Taixu suddenly found a connection, Wu'An and Wu Chou, two brothers and they are not working alone. They have a group backing them up and if that was Wu'An's group, Wu Chou's should be worse.

"I must grow. I must grow. I'm done taking all of this shit." He yelled. With the aid of the Berserker pill, all would have been lost. Turning backwards, he met a bewildered Chen Yilin who could not be more surprised.

"Ha-ha-ha." Chen Yilin laughed despite his injuries, "See, I don't want to know how you did that but, little brother!"

He continued, " You've been hiding a lot from me. You even let those arrogant twins taunt you and you did not reply."

"Yeah." Gu Taixu replied, feeling weak as his powers were draining out, the effects of the Berserker pill fading out.

"I used a pill to increase my Martial strength for a short while so we could survive. That's what caused the miracle."

"Nonetheless, your martial techniques were great. I think even without the boost, you would not be disadvantaged if you were to spar with me. With the boost, well, I'll be dead!" Chen Yilin said, laughing out. Gu Taixu beamed a weak smile.

"Ah!" Gu Taixu groaned as pained wracked his body. He fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?"

"I guess it's the...the side effects of...of...of the Berserker pill.... It will make me weak for some time. Take me to your room...and watch..." He whispered falling faint.

Many kilometers away, at the Gu Clan, Liu Ning sat at the head table of a big party which was in full bloom. The party had been on since the previous night and the Gu Family Hall was the epicenter. Many coloured lights and burning lanterns filled the hall which was currently in different types of disorders.

Liu Ning sat on the now late Gu Family Head's chair, looking slightly ebriated, his eyes dull and partly shut. Two beauties were working on him. The shorter one with a round face, plaited a short ponytail decorated with roses. She massaged his feet, knee and thigh area. The other one, much taller than the former was behind him working on his shoulders while leaning her upper body on his back. She seemed to be whispering to him. She had an oblong face and long black flowing hair. Her red lips formed a smile as she spoke, her pupils moving mischievously from side to side as her hands moved from his broad shoulders to his chest and back alternately.

The Hall was full of activity; clapping, cheerings, shoutings and toastings. At the foremost table sat Liu Ning's entourage made up of his younger brother, Liu Yuan and his companions, Yao Ye, Liu Change and an older man wearing a gray robe. They were all in animal spirits. Beautiful women, previously Gu Clan maids flocked about them giving them satisfaction to the brim.

Liu Yuan, in particular, had a beauty sitting in his lap, moving about in response to his touch. She had white flawless skin and long thin blond hair. Her pretty oval face had blue deep-set eyes and a short chin. At the moment, Liu Yuan's d**k was alive under her ***hole. Her undergarments were her only protection. Liu Yuan's left hand freely penetrated her panties under her short red gown, teasing her s** organs. His other hand played with and massaged her twin peaks.

"Liu Yuan, you're giving us quite the erotic scene, hehe." Liu Changhe remarked, smacking his lips.

"Ah! Ah-m-m," the beauty, wide-eyed gave up a low, muffled scream.

"Ha-ha-ha, Uncle Changhe. Just... mhm... wait...until I'm done," Liu Yuan replied with ecstasy, "this beauty here will be practically limpless, he continued, now kissing her neck fiercely from the back, pressing her closer to him.

"It would be better, nicer infact, if you took your madness to your private..."

"Just shut the hell up, Yao Ye," Liu Yuan cut in, stopping his actions abruptly, "you are f**king irritating."

"What did you just say?" Yao Ye asked in a cool voice, rising from his seat.

"You heard me, bastard!" Liu Yuan rose, red faced, to face off his rival. Liu Changhe left the lady he was idling with and made to pacify Liu Yuan. Gu Yun went over to Yao Ye's side.

"So who do you think you are? Motherf**ker?" Yao Ye replied disdainfully.
