Chapter 253: Chapter 247: Gathering Qi Slash

“Do you want me to be your... Queen?” Akama’s voice was as seductive as ever, and she twisted her revealingly dressed body. “But this Sir Lancelot seems a bit difficult to deal with, my... King?”

The onlooking crowd erupted, and the residents of Mogrondale booed loudly. Akama had been the longest-reigning Lord of Withering, dominating the richest region of Mogrondale, the Blood Abyss, for nearly a hundred years. Even she had submitted the decadent tyranny of Dugba. Would there really no one who could handle this worm demon?

Some also deciphered the implicit prerequisite in the female demon’s words. Her territory, her rights, even she herself could belong to Dugba, but if he failed to take down this human knight, then all of it would be for nothing.

And there were some onlookers whose ambitions were not so great, therefore having lived long enough, snickering coldly at those who jeered. ‘Shapeshifter’ Lady Akama had reasons for maintaining her status for so long, but she was no succubus; carnal pleasure was a pastime, not a means of survival for her.

“Heh heh heh heh, maybe not a Queen, but at least one of the concubines in my harem,” Dugba let out a lecherous laugh. “Of course, your status will be very honorable, but you’ve got to be ready to meet my every demand at any time. After watching how I will slay this man wrapped in metal, you will feel honored to serve me.”

“Hehehehe, then I’ll have to find a good spot to thoroughly enjoy His Majesty’s performance,” Akama, along with her entourage, walked over to Pakos. “The Immortal, your steed is really strong today, could I borrow it for a ride for a couple of days?”

“Haha, of course, that’s no problem,” the halfling chuckled in response. “This big fellow would like a master like you. It’s been a while since you visited my little shop; do you want to come by for a visit?”

“Let’s not, I have no interest in stooping to visit your little rundown shop,” Akama said with a light laugh, covering her mouth, then turned her head to look at the arena. “It seems this human knight was carrying your emblem earlier, do you plan to step in and help him?”

But the Human Knight did not move. After the initial exchange, he had formed his own assessment of the strength disparity between them. Moreover, the Kabutomushi Demon’s unique facial structure allowed it to keep its targets locked with its eyes while charging head-down. If he moved in any direction, he would end up exposing his back to the enemy, leaving him extremely vulnerable.

If he couldn’t avoid it, he decided not to dodge at all!

Lancelot hefted the Glacier onto his shoulder as the liquid True Yuan within his Dantian surged out like an erupting volcano, circulating through a specific path in his Meridians like a swirling vortex. The True Yuan flowed in circles, speeding up with each pass, each circuit drawing forth even more True Yuan. Although he appeared motionless to the onlookers, a storm of terrifying power had gathered inside him.

The first Cultivation Technique he grasped after sensing Qi was the Qi Gathering Slash. Compared to the Qingyun Sword Art he practiced later, the Qi Gathering Slash’s drawback was its lack of sustainability and focused destructive power, but its burst strength was formidable and required no separate cultivation.

After Foundation Establishment, this technique had a corresponding enhanced version: Gathering Qi Slash. This version was even more flawed compared to the Qi Refinement Realm version as it required standing still to gather energy, severely limiting its use in combat, but it could unleash a blow with a strength that surpassed the cultivator’s physical limits.

Confronted with Kabutomushi Demon’s unavoidable and terrifying charge, Lancelot stood his ground without yielding, choosing to take the blow head-on!
