Chapter 31

"This ominous rhythm!" Chris stopped in his tracks, and his expression became extremely ugly.

He had fought against the berserk wyverns, faced the most ferocious Kent tribesmen, and met all kinds of enemies, but this was the first time he felt such an ominous rhythm.

"What happened? I feel that Negri is unprecedentedly weak, but also unprecedentedly powerful. " Chris's breathing was steady. He matched his own rhythm with his surroundings and spread out his perception to find out what was going on.

"Is that fragmented chaotic rhythm Negri? If you want to kill him, this is your best chance. " Chris's expression turned serious. Although he didn't know what had happened, this was indeed the best opportunity. He could feel that Negri was recovering from his injuries after a period of time and even becoming stronger.

Chris changed his direction and walked towards the direction he sensed. However, he immediately jumped to the side and dodged a flying stone.

The pebble hit the ground, creating a small pit. It was obvious that the force behind the pebble was not small. If a human was hit in a vital spot, they would basically be declared dead.

"Mr. Chris, nice to see you again so soon," Zhang Zian said. The black-robed Nozades walked up to Chris and asked: "You seem to want to go to the forbidden area?"

"Are you here to stop me?" Chris's eyes narrowed.

"I've wanted to spar with you for a long time, Mr. Chris, or should I say senior?" Nozades spoke with an excited expression: "It was because of senior's deeds that I left home to face this complicated world, now that I can defeat senior with my own hands, I'm so excited!"

"Originally, the Crowmen's rules forbade me from attacking Reya's guests. I was thinking of excuses before this, but it's no longer necessary. Nozades suddenly shouted: "This man is the criminal who killed Reya's leader Comoros, all unrelated personnel, please leave this street"

Very quickly, the street was completely empty. In Reystromia, the Crowmen were the ones who maintained order. They had strict rules and couldn't attack anyone who didn't violate the order of Reystromia. Of course, anyone who provoked the order of Reystromia would be mercilessly killed by the Crowmen. It was this strict order that attracted many merchants.

"This kind of framing is too much." Chris raised his eyebrows.

"It doesn't matter, Sir Comoros is dead and someone saw him enter his manor, that's enough" Nozades shrugged and slowly took off his black robe, revealing his naked upper body.

There were twisted black lines all over Nozades' body. As Nozades moved, these black lines would constantly change, giving off a sense of incongruity that would make anyone feel nauseous.

"Is that what Negri did to you?" Chris stared at the black lines, the ominous and distorted rhythm, his breathing began to change. Negri was still recovering, he didn't have much time to waste on this Crowmen.

"This is his grace to me, and you will also be defeated by this power" Nozades' expression slowly calmed down. Only by maintaining a calm state of mind in battle could a qualified Warrior be considered one. While emotional outbursts could temporarily improve one's state of mind, it wasn't a long-term solution.

Chris took a deep breath and threw a punch at Nozades. His punch wasn't fast, but it had a strange rhythm to it that made it seem impossible to dodge.

The black lines on Nozades' body twisted and met Chris' fist head-on. The inhuman strength caused Chris to grunt and take a small step back.

"Sir Negri's grace has granted me strength and speed that far surpasses the limits of humans. You are no match for me in terms of pure strength" Nozades wasn't in a hurry to retaliate and instead slowly spoke.

"Can you keep up with my Rhythm Fist?" Chris didn't answer. The state of mind in battle was very important, so some people would often say things to provoke their opponent and cause them to lose their cool.

Chris' Rhythm Fist was based on his opponent's rhythm to create a unique pattern of punches. This pattern of punches would make it difficult for the opponent to react, because it was a technique that went against their rhythm.

There's something strange about those black lines. Chris thought to himself. Those lines definitely didn't just increase his strength and speed, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to cause him any trouble.

Among Chris's previous opponents, there were creatures like the wyvern, which were far more powerful than humans. Even if he had strength and speed that surpassed humans, he wouldn't have been able to do much to a wyvern.

Chris calmed himself down and used Rhythm Fist to attack while enduring Nozades' power.

Each of his punches landed on a spot that made Nozades uncomfortable, but Nozades was able to block Chris' attack every time. What was strange was that Nozades never tried to retaliate, even with the advantage of strength, he didn't actively attack Chris.

"I'm a bit disappointed, senior, I thought you could be a bit stronger" Nozades once again blocked Chris' punch. Nozades once again blocked Chris' punch and suddenly spoke: "[Respiratory Art] does indeed give you the ability to attack your opponent's weak points, but with the grace of sir Negri, I've already surpassed humans!!"

Nozades suddenly changed his defensive strategy and took the initiative to attack Chris, but to Chris' surprise, Nozades' fist technique was his own Rhythm Fist, the kind of fist that struck the weakest part of a human's rhythm, it was impossible for someone who didn't know [Respiratory Art] to use this kind of fist technique!

Chris awkwardly dodged Nozades' punch and once again paid attention to Nozades' breathing.

"No, his breathing isn't following [Respiratory Art]'s rhythm at all" Chris scowled and took another deep breath. His own rhythm instantly became extremely attuned to his surroundings as he threw an unbelievably fast punch at Nozades.

If [Rhythm Fist] was used to attack the weak points of an opponent's rhythm, then the one Chris was using right now was to attune his own rhythm to his surroundings and unleash a Silent Punch.

Because [Silent Punch] moved according to the rhythm of the surroundings, the amount of resistance this punch would encounter was incredibly small, making it extremely difficult to detect. This was also why [Silent Punch] was called an assassination punch.

The punch barely grazed Nozades' head, causing his brown hair to flutter. Even though it was a bit forced, Nozades still managed to dodge Chris' attack at the last moment.
