Chapter 525 - Holy Soft Leather Armor
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Xu Chen’s broadsword technique was overwhelming. It brought a gust of cold wind and tore Zhang Ruochen’s robe apart.
Zhang Ruochen was calm. He controlled the Auspicious Vase and simultaneously calculated the power of space.
Xu Chen’s broadsword was about to hit Zhang Ruochen in the head. If it made contact, he would inevitably die.
CHUU!
Zhang Ruochen cast out Space Moving and disappeared from his original place. Then, he appeared behind Xu Chen.
Failing to attack Zhang Ruochen, Xu Chen’s broadsword move hit the water’s surface, causing the entire sea to churn and two huge 33 meter waves to rise. He quickly realized the severity of the situation. He hurriedly drew back his broadsword and split toward the spot behind him.
But before his broadsword could slice out, a huge pulling force appeared above his head. It formed a vortex and enveloped his entire body.
It was like falling into a black hole. Xu Chen could not fight the strong pulling force no matter how hard he struggled. He could not control his body at all and he flew upward.
From afar, one could see a small delicate bottle suspending above Xu Chen’s head. A vortex was condensing just above the bottle.
Xu Chen’s body became smaller and smaller. He became as small as a finger and was suctioned into the bottle.
Zhang Ruochen quickly took back the Auspicious Vase. He held it in his hand. “Wow! It can even take in a master at the Fourth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. The power of the Auspicious Vase is amazing!”
BOOM!
The Auspicious Vase shook violently. It formed a circular wave of power, causing Zhang Ruochen’s fingers to ache. If he had not increased his power to control it, it would have flown away.
“Where am I? Let me out! Zhang Ruochen, aren’t you first on the Heaven Board? Fight with me in person if you dare.”
The Auspicious Vase resounded with Xu Chen’s voice.
With a loud bang, it shook violently again.
Zhang Ruochen used Genuine Qi to quell the Auspicious Vase. He said to himself, “The Auspicious Vase’s attack is still weak. If I added a powerful flame array to the bottle, it would be able to refine Xu Chen instead of just trapping him.”
The Auspicious Vase still had many imperfections. If it encountered a superior with higher cultivation, the superior could beat his way out before it exerted its strength.
For now, Zhang Ruochen could only take back the Auspicious Vase. He would have to figure out a solution for dealing with Xu Chen after he killed Xu Hai.
PHHF!
Xu Hai drove his ship forward and overtook him.
Although Xu Hai had been standing in the distance, he had clearly seen the battle. He had seen Xu Konglin die under Zhang Ruochen’s sword and he had also seen Zhang Ruochen use the Auspicious Vase to take Xu Chen in.
“Those two craps. Zhang Ruochen took them out so easily. It seems that they have become accustomed to a decadent family lifestyle. They are useless.”
Xu Hai was quite angry.
Xu Konglin’s cultivation was at the Peak of the Third Change in the Fish-dragon Realm. From his point of view, even if he was no match for Zhang Ruochen, he could have avoided being hurt if he had been more careful.
However, Xu Konglin had also been arrogant. The Dragon Lock Chain had entangled him before he could escape, and finally, he died under Zhang Ruochen’s sword.
Xu Konglin’s death was his own fault. No one else was to blame.
However, Xu Chen had profound cultivation and his strength was much higher than Zhang Ruochen’s. He had been put into a bottle and instantly suppressed. To Xu Hai this was unacceptable.
“Xu Chen’s cultivation has reached the Fourth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm, and he is a battle-seasoned superior among the elders. How could he make such a mistake and lose to a junior like Zhang Ruochen?”
What on earth was that mysterious bottle?
Xu Hai was very annoyed at the loss of three Fish-dragon Realm masters.
Even in a large family like Saint Xu Gentry, the number of superiors in the Fish-dragon Realm was small. It took a lot of resources for the family to cultivate a superior in the Fish-dragon Realm.
It could be said that every Monk in the Fish-dragon Realm was a great treasure.
If Saint Xu Gentry was to be compared to an empire, then every Monk in the Fish-dragon Realm was a city. A loss of a Monk in the Fish-dragon Realm was more regrettable than the loss of a city.
Now, Xu Hai had no way out. If he could not defeat Zhang Ruochen today, he would be severely punished when he returned to Saint Xu Gentry. Even his position as successor of Saint Xu Gentry would be lost.
Xu Hai expelled his contempt and showed an ugly look. He said, “Zhang Ruochen, I admit that I made a mistake by looking down on you. However, from now on, I won’t give you a chance.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled. “If I were you, I would run away now.”
Xu Hai was extremely angry, but he smiled and said, “Zhang Ruochen, you are too arrogant. When I was in the Heaven Realm, I reached 91st on the Heaven Board. Even if there is a gap between 91st and 1st, it is not huge.”
“Moreover, I have reached the Second Change of the Fish-dragon Realm and my strength is much higher than it was before. Even if you have some great Holy Weapon, it can’t make up for the gap in cultivation.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “To have become a descendant of Saint Xu Gentry, you are obviously not average warrior. However, are you sure you can take my Swift Swordsmanship?”
“Swift and Neat?”
Xu Hai sneered and looked confident. “Well then, let’s see which one is stronger, your sword technique or my power?”
SWOOSH!
A cyan light column flew out from above Xu Hai’s head.
The light column rose from the sea and connected to the lower part of the clouds.
A Martial Soul rushed out from the top of Xu Hai’s head and suspended in the light column.
The Martial Soul began to mobilize the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. It could be seen with the naked eye. Streaks of Spiritual Qi gathered from all directions and poured into Xu Hai’s glabella.
Xu Hai’s Martial Soul was very powerful; it had reached the Seventh Change in the Fish-dragon Realm. Its strength was almost equal to the strength of Zhang Ruochen’s Martial Soul.
“Roc Wings Spreading.”
Xu Hai’s arms spread out. Rich Genuine Qi flowed out from his palm and transformed into two huge wings of light.
The exercise that Xu Hai practiced was Roc Martial Classics, a King’s Stage exercise.
His wings moved. Xu Hai flew up above Zhang Ruochen’s head. His two palms struck down at the same time.
Two strands of palm power condensed into two huge handprints. Before they even struck, the water under Zhang Ruochen’s feet had already pressed down and sunken. Two 10-meter-long handprints appeared on the sea’s surface.
Xu Hai was even more powerful than Xu Chen.
When he attacked, the whole world seemed to be under his control.
SHUAH!
Zhang Ruochen immediately demonstrated Space Moving. He leapt through the space and appeared on Xu Hai’s left.
“What?!”
Xu Hai was shocked. He did not expect that Zhang Ruochen’s speed could reach such a level.
No.
That was not speed, it was the power of space.
When Zhang Ruochen fought with Xu Chen, he had used Space Moving. However, at the time, Xu Hai had been too far away to feel any spatial fluctuation.
But this time, Xu Hai clearly sensed that the surrounding space had sent out a slight turbulence.
The feeling was very similar to the power that ships from the Primitive World sent out when they shuttled through wormholes and space passages.
What made Xu Hai surprised was the fact that Zhang Ruochen could use this kind of power. He knew better than anyone how terrible it was.
Zhang Ruochen did not allow Xu Hai to think further. He prepared to kill him with one blow, to kill Xu Hai with his sword.
After displaying Space Moving, Zhang Ruochen immediately captured a mark of time to merge into his sword technique. He waved his sword and attacked toward Xu Hai’s neck.
“Swift and Neat.”
Zhang Ruochen was only three meters away from Xu Hai. After integrating with the power of time, his sword was as fast as light. The Abyss Ancient Sword hit Xu Hai in the neck.
PING!
Like hitting a layer of armor, it sounded like two pieces of metal colliding. It burst out several sparks.
Zhang Ruochen was surprised. He could not understand why the sharp Abyss Ancient Sword hadn’t punctured Xu Hai’s body at all.
Xu Hai merely tilted back under the attack.
He was quick-witted. He flipped around in the void space to unload the power of the Abyss Ancient Sword. Then, he broke out a speed that was three times faster than before and struck Zhang Rouchen in the chest.
His speed was so striking that Zhang Ruochen didn’t see even a shadow of movement.
He did not even have time to display Space Moving. He could only inspire the power of Dragon Pearl quickly. Meanwhile, he swiftly turned the side of the Abyss Ancient Sword to block the attack.
POW!
Zhang Ruochen flew back 5,000 meters. With a thud, he fell into the sea.
After a moment, he flew up from the sea and landed on the surface.
“PFFF!”
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face was very pale. His five internal organs and six hollow organs were all badly hurt and burning painfully. His body seemed to crack.
Despite being seriously injured, Zhang Ruochen was still standing straight with no fear on his face. He stared at Xu Hai who was suspending in the air and asked, “Are you wearing Holy Soft Leather Armor?”
Xu Hai nodded as he saw that Zhang Ruochen had been severely injured by his palm. He was quite satisfied with the power he had shown.
“Yes, I do wear Holy Soft Leather Armor. Even if your sword technique is stronger and your sword is sharper, you can’t hurt me.”
Xu Hai began to run his Genuine Qi. His skin emitted a layer of golden light.
With sacred power, the layer of light sucked all the Spiritual Qi from the sea to form a white cloud that enveloped his body.
From afar he looked like a young Saint. He stood in the center of heaven and earth and controlled the entire world.
That was the aura of a Saint.
Holy Soft Leather Armor, a protective Holy Weapon, was made of Saint’s skin and bones and nine other precious materials.
Holy Soft Leather Armor automatically adhered to a Monk’s skin. If people did not observe it carefully, they could not detect its existence at all.
