Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 145, Section 016: The Battle of Fates

It was past midnight, and the night wind was howling.

The streetlights flickered briefly, plunging both sides into darkness for a moment, with only their eyes remaining clear.

This was Jin Ziyue's first encounter with the Fate Master in District 16.

The Cloud-Turning Hand didn't bring his spirit cat. Real combat isn't an online game; no one will let you stand there comfortably casting a spell to retrieve your destiny.

Each master of destiny has one or two most compatible destiny phrases, which they keep locked on their bodies year-round, nurturing them with their own flesh to ensure that the destiny phrases can grow to the maximum extent.

The world is full of all sorts of destinies, and finding the one that suits you is the right path. People with limited energy are too lazy to keep changing, otherwise, they'll be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons; or like carrying water on a shoulder pole—having their minds on two ends, the final result will only be pleasing neither side.

The most proud motto of the Cloud-Turning Hand is "Turning hands to create clouds".

Jin Ziyue narrowed his eyes, roughly discerning the other party's ability to command words.

Turning one's hand into clouds

Holders of this item possess an extremely strong desire for control and enjoy abusing power, deciding the life and death of others with a flick of their wrist. This gradually leads to a cold and selfish personality. Most holders enjoy manipulating people and are fickle and unpredictable, like ever-changing clouds.

Ability: Releases clouds of mist, which gradually solidifies and begins to possess a certain degree of lethality as the user grows. A further advancement involves the user transforming their body into mist, granting immunity to most physical attacks. It allows for both offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Note: When the "Turning Hands into Rain" skill appears, new synergies and abilities will emerge.

The Cloud-Turning Hand had not yet recognized Jin Ziyue's command.

Because generally, those who control destiny recognize destiny words by observing the fluctuations of the destiny word's spread, as well as physical contact and the rhythm of blood vessels, in order to determine the other party's ten divine components, destiny word attributes, and possible abilities. No one dares to say with 100% certainty that they fully understand another person's destiny word.

Even if the basic values ​​of the Ten Gods are exactly the same, the fate will change differently in different people after they have experienced different things.

This change is like branches spreading out, gradually spreading from the most primitive destiny in the world, scattering seeds to bless the world, and each individual's destiny, as it encounters its host, has the potential for infinite development.

This is the most amazing thing about human word choice.

The Fate Masters have a deep understanding of Fate Words, and in their battles, they do their utmost to utilize the advantages of their Fate Words to defeat their enemies.

Similarly, once one's personal destiny information is leaked, there is a risk of being targeted, so personal destiny information is never kept secret.

Jin Ziyue tugged at his thin knife, trying to gauge the level of his opponent's Cloud Palm technique.

It is solid, heavy, and extremely sticky; it must have taken at least ten years of hard work to master.

The Cloud-Turning Hand gave him no chance to test the waters. With a swift movement of its right hand, the Cloud Palm it manipulated gripped the blade of the slender knife tightly.

Suddenly, Jin Ziyue delivered a knee strike, deliberately slamming it against the blade of his own sword!
The cloud hand did not break the blade because its strength and flexibility had not yet reached the elastic limit of the slender knife, but Jin Ziyue broke it by force himself!

Fan Yun Shou was taken aback. He saw Jin Ziyue grab the broken blade with his left hand and pull back the hilt with his right hand, as the two weapons, one long and one short, attacked.

"Hmph, opportunistic!" He finally understood that Jin Ziyue was not confident in retrieving the knife that was entangled by the Cloud Hands, so he would rather break it in two to break free from the Cloud Hands' restraints.

This method—

This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause!
He manipulates the cloud hand; if he manages to pinch his waist this time, wouldn't he cut himself in half?

This time, the user gripped his right wrist with his left hand, increasing the output of the Cloud Palm and unleashing even denser clouds from his right palm!
As time went by, the entire street was shrouded in a hazy mist by the escaping smoke.

The distance between the two was rapidly closing. Jin Ziyue's knife and broken blade crossed in front of him as he swung them back and forth with his left and right hands.

The air was much colder and more humid, and the condensed clouds had begun to liquefy, carrying a shockwave that was about to pierce through Jin Ziyue.

With a roar, the Cloud-Turning Hand enveloped the entire street in mist, as if it were a fairyland.

These liquefied clouds didn't have much impact; Jin Ziyue could cleave them apart with each swing of his sword. However, the opponent's clouds were continuous, and he was like a propeller, trying to get close by pushing against the clouds.

The fact that the power of the Cloud-Turning Hand can be applied to such a supernatural degree demonstrates its formidable strength.

Jin Ziyue's figure could not be seen in the drifting clouds and mist. He could only judge the distance of the other party by the increasingly close footsteps and the rapid drumbeats.

The Cloud-Turning Hand's eyes widened: "Come!"

After speaking, he spread his palms out, raised them as if lifting a cloth, and then moved them to the left and right, transforming them into a balancing and pushing motion. The clouds and mist along the entire street seemed to come alive, surging and turbulent.

He was originally from a martial arts family and was adept at using softness to overcome hardness, showing no fear of Jin Ziyue getting close.

Jin Ziyue's only means of attack is swords. It's not that the Cloud-Turning Hand looks down on swords, but that swords are completely useless in the face of clouds, which are almost invisible.

What's more, the other party actually dared to step into the clouds and fight him.

You are really not afraid of death.

The Cloud-Turning Hand had deliberately cultivated his skills in the deep mountains, high in the clouds. He immersed himself in the mist, feeling the clouds roll and unroll, judging the weather and the growth of all things by the flow of air. This profound understanding, imbued with Zen, made him even more unrestrained. Within the mist, no movement of air could escape his eyes.

No matter what evil tricks he tries, they won't be able to hide from me under my very nose!

At this time, the vast clouds and mist have formed a reverse flow of clouds into Tianchi Lake, and the longer this continues, the more disadvantageous it will be for those trapped in the clouds and mist.

Fan Yun Shou was smug. His clouds had the effect of an array. The kid plunged in headfirst, thinking he was advancing straight ahead, but in fact he was already trapped in a vortex and could only spin around in circles.

The rising clouds and mist resembled a white dragon crossing the river, tumbling and swirling in the waves, creating a lithe figure. Strands of air spun rapidly, vaguely forming rain and mist, and a pseudo-tornado shot into the sky!

The maze in the clouds is complete!

The Cloud-Turning Hand could sense from the air currents that the boy had stopped, clearly having discovered the formation.

"He's got some skills, isn't he?"

There was no hint of praise in his words: "So how are you going to get out?"

Jin Ziyue raised his hand to shield his eyes from the increasingly strong winds and sand.

He had reached the center of the vortex, the eye of the airflow.

This is the place with the least airflow and the scarcest air. If you were to use this kind of term, it would definitely lead to a closed space that draws out the air.

Although being in the eye of a hurricane is dangerous, the threat level is far less.

It can only be said that this person's overconfidence made this ability full of flaws.

After finishing his thoughts, Jin Ziyue's eyes flashed even colder.

My collections have been increasing lately, and I'm constantly worried they'll drop...
