Chapter 369: Empathy
# 369. Empathy
A fourth rank Martial Artist in close combat could effortlessly annihilate practitioners of the same rank from other systems. A single decisive manoeuvre was often sufficient to finish the opponent.
The strength of a fourth rank Martial Artist relied on two key factors: Transforming Force and “Intent”.
A martial artist in the Transforming Force stage had achieved the pinnacle of body techniques. Even Li Miaozhen, and possibly even Xu Qi’an—both of whom were formidable in their own rights—would find themselves at a disadvantage when facing such a practitioner.
This is to say nothing of a fourth rank martial artist who has cultivated “Intent”.
Of course, Li Miaozhen, as the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Sect, and Xu Qi’an, as a Silver Gong of the Great Feng, both had hidden aces and trump cards. However, this was not a fight to the death.
Fourth rank martial artists were nearly impossible to kill in a short time. Once entangled by such a fighter, none of the trio would be able to escape. If other agents or soldiers arrive en-masse, their situation would become untenable.
Xu Qi’an could not reveal his identity. He could not use the Confucian scroll or his Vajra Divine Art, as both would expose him. Therefore, he must avoid being pinned down by a fourth rank at all costs.
