《Doomsday 2020》27. The Hexagram Steps

15 men down...

25 men down...
There are 10 Death Squad soldiers left in front of Alex. It seemed like he’s unstoppable. His movement flows continuously. Alex seems to be moving slowly, but when he strikes, he strikes with an explosive speed. Alex movements seem combine a circle and straight line walking. Sometimes he spins inward, some other time he spins outward, sometimes he pulls, next, he pushes. There are definitely some similarities with the Baguazhang technique. But this is much more complex than that.
Lieutenant Rangga had studied Baguazhang, there were a few schools that modified it before, but he could not figure out the origin of these steps. He thinks that these steps are much more profound.
This is a technique that Alex received in the Doomsday Pillar, The Hexagram Steps. It's a medium grade movement technique. Alex has been studying this technique for more than seven years. This is one of the reasons why Alex has been able to survive many battles in his previous life.
When Alex was reincarnated, the inheritance itself also vanished, and without the real inheritance, this art technique was like an empty gun, but the movement steps itself was still engraved in Alex’s memory. Currently, Alex cannot perform the real form of Hexagram steps. But, as this is a medium grade technique, even only with its movement principle, it can already be considered a heavenly skill for a Mortal Realm human.
When Alex received the inheritance of the Hexagram Steps, Alex learned about the technique's origin. The Hexagram that was already written in the oldest Chinese classics had been backdated more than 4,000 years ago. It was said to be created by Fuxi, one of the Three Sovereigns at the beginning of the Chinese dynastic period. Fuxi had the arrangement of the formation revealed to him in the markings on the back of a mythical tortoise that emerged from the Luo River.
The Hexagram formation is a six set of 64 symbols, a total of 384 variations. While the Eight Trigram was only on the first 64 sets. It took Alex 7 years to master the first and second sets, hence the similarities with the Baguazhang. Perhaps the founder of Baguazhang on the 19th century did manage to learn the secrets of the first set by studying the Fuxi Hexagram. As for the real connection between Fuxi’s Hexagram and the Doomsday Pillars, it is as much as mystery as the secret relics that is left unanswered all around the world. The answers should be within the Doomsday Pillars.

Alex currently only uses the Hexagram movement techniques, he combines this movement steps with basic hand to hand combat techniques. In his previous life, Alex learned about the advancement secret for this Hexagram technique. This is one of the special abilities Alex plans to get.
Currently, Alex had already defeated a total of 30 Deathsquad soldiers.
The last 10 men were hesitant to attack.
As per the Regent’s order, Captain Donnie had brought out the other three lieutenants and their platoons, together with the rest of Lieutenant Rangga and Lieutenant Aria’s platoon all totalled 200 men.
Right now, 200 plus men is surrounding Alex, it's basically the whole of Captain Donnie's Foxtrot company.
Aria was unable to keep her cold face anymore, she was worried, she told her grandfather to stop this madness. But the Regent only kept his quiet, silently watching the fight.
Alex starts to take a big breath, he performs the breathing techniques that comes with the Hexagram Steps inheritance. Alex felt his body much more light and his movements faster. Alex can feel the movement of every small thing within a 10-meter diameter. In this formation radius, Alex is in total control.
BAAMM... BAAMM... BAAMM...
BAAMM...BAAMM... BAAMM...
All the other four companies were speechless while watching this scene. This was the most outrageous thing they ever saw. One man moving around inside the waves of black uniformed men, leaving behind bodies dropping on the ground. These are all martial art experts, it is such a chaotic situation.
50 men down...
100 men down...
It has been more than 30 minutes, using such a technique has finally taken a toll on Alex. He is starting to be unable to place a direct hit to the opponents.
150 men down...
The last 50 men, this time Alex started to get a few hits back at him. As a High Stage Mortal Realm, Alex’s muscles and bone density are strong enough to receive hits, but the lieutenants start to move in as well. Foxtrot’s company Lieutenant Rangga, a kung fu specialist, Lieutenant Mike, a dark skinned man master in Boxing, Lieutenant Budi an expert in Pencak Silat and lastly Lieutenant Harris one of the few White Dove technique specialists. All four lieutenants of the Foxtrot company under Captain Donnie, only missing Aria.

BAAMM... BAAMM... BAAMM...
Last 40 men...
Last 30 men...
Right now, Alex had already removed his soaking wet shirt, there seemed to be some bruises that could be seen throughout his body. His High Stage Mortal Realm body is in its full power, his muscles, his focus. Alex performs the second set of Hexagram steps techniques, the 128 variations. The remaining men of Foxtrot’s company drop to the ground one by one...
Last 20 men...
Deflecting while spinning, then kick,
BAAMMM... Lieutenant Rangga is down.
Stopping while coiling, then elbow,
BAAMMM... Lieutenant Mike is down.
Returning while pushing, then punch,
BAAMMM... Lieutenant Budi is down.
It took Alex eight moves before he finally managed to neutralize Lieutenant Harris.
Finally, Alex is the last man standing...
Alex took a deep breath, retracts his stance and tries to calm his mind...
The spectators were in awe and in amazement, some have already moved in to help the injured Foxtrot company men.
A man walks in front of Alex, it is Captain Donnie, he gives Alex a salute, then thank him for giving valuable lessons to his men. Alex is impressed by the captain’s attitude.
Alex then slowly walks to the stage.
Aria was having a mixed feeling about this.
This guy wants her to be his personal guard, but he's better than her in shooting techniques, he has an incredible fighting skills, he stands fiercely facing hundreds of special forces attack, and now he's coming closer.

Aria, the "Ice Queen", unconsciously blushed...
Alex gives his respect to the Regent and waits for the Regent’s decision.
The Regent thought for a while, he had never seen such a person in his 70 years of life.
Then the Regent finally said,
"I admit defeat, I will allow you to take Lieutenant Aria’s platoon. In fact, I will also allow you to bring the whole Foxtrot company with you. Consider it my appreciation for the skill that you have performed, and also their punishment for losing terribly."
Just like that, one company, 5 platoons, 1 captain, 5 expert lieutenants, 250 Death Squad soldiers were now under him.
Finally, Alex’s agenda on Sumatra Island is done. Today is the 15th of December, only two weeks left before the end of days starts. There are a few more places that Alex needs to visit, he needs to continue his travels as it is going to be very difficult later. As Alex was about to leave the compound, the Regent told him that most of the men from Foxtrot company were injured, so the earliest time that they will be arriving in Bali will be in 4-5 days, together with the equipment and special vehicles that the Regent promised to Alex.
But there is one particular issue that makes Alex feel uneasy. Alex is definitely happy for having another Spirit Enhancer, but Aria has decided to literally be Alex’s personal guard, she keeps herself close to him and decides to go wherever Alex goes.
"So it seems like I won't be travelling alone this time."
