Chapter 526 - Fierce Fighting for 500 Kilometers

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

The inner and outer layers of the Holy Soft Leather Armor were carved with many inscriptions. There were also other precious materials for refining weapons, like Dragon Scale, Dragon Skin, and Luan feathers.

Therefore, the defensive power of the Holy Soft Leather Armor was more than ten times more powerful than that of the Saint’s skin. After all, this was a Holy Weapon.

An ordinary Hundred Inscription Weapon could not break the Holy Soft Leather Armor. Only by using the Thousand Inscriptions Weapon, could one pierce through it.

Xu Hai was rather arrogant. He said with a smile, “Zhang Ruochen, now you should have known my trump card? Wearing the Holy Soft Leather Armor will increase my speed to seven times of speed velocity. Even a Monk at the Seventh Change of the Fish-dragon Realm might not be able to catch up with me. And the Saint Power in the armor can enhance my power. Did that palm hit feel good?”

Xu Hai was the best master. Once the inscription and Saint Power of the Holy Soft Leather Armor were activated, his strength was even more powerful. Even if Zhang Ruochen had the Dragon Pearl to protect his body, after a hit like that, he was badly hurt.

Suddenly, Xu Hai became serious and his eyes grew sharp. “But, you also brought me a big surprise. You actually can use the power of space. If I were not wearing the Holy Soft Leather Armor, I could have died under your sword.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and seemed not to be hurt. He said with ease, “The defense of the Holy Soft Leather Armor is not impossible to break.”

Xu Hai was surprised first. Then he laughed loudly. “Your Holy Sword is just a Hundred Inscription Weapon. No matter how powerful it is, it can’t pierce through the Holy Soft Leather Armor.”

“The Hundred Inscription Weapon may not be able to pierce through the Holy Soft Leather Armor,” Zhang Ruochen said calmly. “But there is always some part of your body that can’t be defended by the Armor, like your eyes.”

The Holy Soft Leather Armor was made of Saint’s skin. It clearly could not defend his eyes.

Xu Hai snorted. “Even if my eyes are unguarded, so what? Do you think I will just stand there and wait for your attack?”

Zhang Ruochen still had a smile on his face. He took out six golden Holy Swords from the Spatial Ring. Under the control of the Heart of the Sword, the six Holy Swords floated up and flew in six different directions around his body.

Seeing how calm and composed Zhang Ruochen was, Xu Hai was worried.“Zhang Ruochen’s sword technique has already reached the Heart Integrated into Sword realm. I’d better be careful.”

So Xu Hai shut his eyes.

That way he didn’t have to worry about Zhang Ruochen attacking his eyes.

Actually, with Xu Hai’s realm, there was no difference whether he had his eyes open or closed. His Martial Soul and Spiritual Power had better perception than his eyes.

Seeing Xu Hai close his eyes, Zhang Ruochen knew that he was a bit horrified. Even though he wore the Holy Soft Leather Armor, he was not confident enough in himself.

After all Zhang Ruochen had killed two Elders from the Saint Xu Gentry without leaving any blood on his weapon. And he had sent another Elder into the Auspicious Vase.

It was because of this that Xu Hai felt a psychological shadow. He felt that Zhang Ruochen’s means were too weird, impossible to guard against. With any carelessness, he would die under Zhang Ruochen’s sword.

Maybe Xu Hai did not even realize that Zhang Ruochen had already penetrated his psychological defense.

Once a person had fear, no matter how powerful he was, he would die for sure.

The flaw of the Holy Soft Leather Armor was indeed the eyes.

However, Zhang Ruochen had never thought that he would have to attack Xu Hai’s eyes.

The reason was very simple. The eyes were located on the front of a person and also the place with the best protection. When both sides were well-matched in strength, if one side wanted to attack the other’s eyes, it was almost impossible.

Moreover, Xu Hai was more powerful than Zhang Ruochen.

If Zhang Ruochen wanted to break his defense with a frontal attack and stab the sword into his eyes, it was an impossible task.

If he did that, the one that would die was surely Zhang Ruochen, not Xu Hai.

What Zhang Ruochen really wanted to use was space power. This was the only way to kill Xu Hai.

Certainly, in the Holy Soft Leather Armor Xu Hai was terribly fast. If he suddenly used the Space Crack and Space Collapse, he could probably escape. If he escaped once, and then used space power to attack a second time, it would be impossible to hurt him.

WOOSH!

Zhang Ruochen grinned. He pointed his finger forward and applied the Sword Defending Technique. Six golden Holy Swords flew out at the same time.

Xu Hai’s first instinct was that Zhang Ruochen was going for his eyes. So he struck out a handprint quickly to protect his face. He sent the six Holy Swords flying away.

But, the six Holy Swords revolved in a circle in the void space and attacked toward him again.

“I am more powerful than Zhang Ruochen, and I am wearing the Holy Soft Leather Armor, why can I only defend passively? No, I will initiate an attack.”

Xu Hai infused Genuine Qi into the Holy Soft Leather Armor. He was growing more and more powerful. A Saint Power burst out from the soft armor and formed a circle of energy ripples. He hit the six Holy Swords and they flew out in all directions.

“Roc Birth-death Fist.”

The seven times speed velocity Xu Hai exposed turned into a flying light. It rushed at Zhang Ruochen and struck out an overbearing fist technique.

Roc Birth-death Fist was a mid-class Ghost Level fist technique. Xu Hai had practiced it for five years and only succeeded in two moves.

Xu Hai had killed a fifth level medium level Blood-tail Kylin with these two moves. It was in that battle that his strength had been approved by the High-level of Saint Xu Gentry and he became the heir of the future leader of Saint Xu Gentry.

Saint Xu Gentry and the ancient mythical beast roc had a great source of origin. So the direct descendants of Saint Xu Gentry had blood of the Mythical Beast roc in their bodies.

Roc Birth-death Fist was a unique technique that the Saint of Saint Xu Gentry had perceived from the Roc Martial Classics. He infused 32 forms of roc into the Martial Arts and evolved it into 32 devastating fist techniques.

It was just the beginning of the fight. Xu Hai had applied his most powerful unique technique. Hence, he attached great importance to Zhang Ruochen.

A layer of light shadow appeared on Xu Hai’s body and formed a roc shape.

The roc’s illusory image was more than 70 meters high. It was like an ancient Roc floating in the sea, emitting a stroke of trembling Mythical Beast of Reckless Waste’s aura.

BANG!

A giant fist shadow flew out. It seemed to overturn all the sea area.

“That’s a mid-class Ghost Level fist technique…”

Zhang Ruochen saw the roc’s illusory image and the overwhelming fist strength. He gulped and retreated backward.

Under such circumstances, he could only fight with Xu Hai by activating the Divine Dragon Transformation.

However, he could only activate the Divine Dragon Transformation if he kept striking out Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm. The probability was quite low. It could only be done by sheer luck.

The situation was quite critical now. Zhang Ruochen was not allowed to try his luck. He chose not to fight recklessly with Xu Hai and applied Space Moving immediately, rushing toward the bottom of the water.

BOOM!

Xu Hai’s fist technique hit the surface of the water and pushed the whole sea level down, raising up giant waves as high as lofty mountain.

“Funny! Don’t you know that the roc is the dominator of water.”

Xu Hai laugh wildly and rushed into the water, chasing after him.

Xu Hai had the Holy Soft Leather Armor, yet Zhang Ruochen had Space Moving. So, although Xu Hai’s speed was astonishing, he could never catch up with Zhang Ruochen.

The two men ran across the water, one chasing and the other escaping.

The Holy Qi and roc aura sending out from Xu Hai’s body terrified the savage beasts in the water. They thought they had met the Sovereign Being and all retreated in succession, not daring to get close.

Zhang Ruochen applied the Sword Defending Technique and continued striking out the six golden Holy Swords.

At the same time, he regulated the power of thunderbolt with his Spiritual Power and launched an attack over his shoulder. He kept making trouble for Xu Hai.

“Zhang Ruochen can indeed control space power. Every time he does a Space Jump, it is a distance of 99 meters. I can never catch up with him.”

Xu Hai was crossed and slightly on edge.

They chased each other 500 kilometers. There was a 10-meter-high reef island up ahead.

Xu Hai stretched out both his arms at the same time, condensing them into two Genuine Qi Hands dozens of meters long. He lifted the island.

BOOM!

Both his arms lifted hard and the reef island flew forwards, attacking toward Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen turned back and saw a small black hill flying toward him. It cast a giant shadow on the water.

Zhang Ruochen stopped to condense his strength and infused Genuine Qi into the Abyss Ancient Sword.

A stroke of white sword light rushed out of the sword tip. Sword Qi burst out from the sword edge.

“Break!”

Zhang Ruochen struck out his sword. It clashed together with the reef island.

The reef island split open in the middle and flew left and right. The two pieces dropped in the sea.

Xu Hai rushed out. In a flash, he was in front of Zhang Ruochen. He struck out a palm.

“Fist of Eternal Truth.”

Xu Hai’s arms let out a bang. Pieces of blue scales appeared on the surface of his skin and every finger emitted the light of death.

It could be imagined that the power of this fist must be devastating. Once it hit, even a small hill would be smashed to pieces.

Apparently, Xu Hai seemed to have control over the whole situation. He could kill Zhang Ruochen in an instant. However, in Zhang Ruochen’s opinion, this was his chance.

It was right now.

Who would die? Zhang Ruochen or Xu Hai?

Seeing that Xu Hai was getting nearer and nearer, Zhang Ruochen became firmer. He secretly regulated power of space and gathered it to the finger-tips of his right hand.

His arms struck out quickly and he pointed his finger forward.
