Boom!
Shoo!
Two completely different sounds exploded as Ye Chen and Xia Houzun were blown back out at the same time. The powerful blast wave spread out, shattering the entire tunnel and causing dust to spread everywhere.
A bit of blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth as Ye Chen was shocked. Even his protective Zhen yuan layer with the amplification of the armor could not block out his opponent's Void Shattering Finger Art. Not only that, the remaining finger power had even gone through the armor and reached his body. After being blocked out by the dragon bone defense layer, it had affected his internal organs, causing him to be slightly wounded.
"If I did not have the armor, this finger attack would have at least made my wounds a couple of times worse. I might even have been badly wounded." Ye Chen had finally realized how powerful Xia Houzun's Void Shattering Finger Art was. Even Bai Wuxue had to use all of his power to block it out.
On the other hand, Xia Houzun's wounds were even more severe than Ye Chen's. Ye Chen's sword attack was unbelievably fast. Because of its extreme speed, it had cut open the space pattern and his protective Zhen yuan layer before landing heavily on the top rank armor. That tiny sword qi had traveled through the armor and wounded his internal organs and meridians. With the accumulation of the sword intent, it had even created invisible sword qi inside his body, cutting through his flesh and internal organs like small knives.
Wah!
Puking out a huge amount of blood, Xia Houzun looked extremely messed up. He did not have that confidence and calmness that he had before. Although his aggressive aura was still there, it had become a bit crazy and crazy after his confidence had been damaged.
Staring at Ye Chen with a murderous look, Xia Houzun's body shook as he growled with a low voice, "Get the f * ck out of here!"
Like a flash flood, a huge amount of gold light shot out of Xia Houzun's body. One could only hear a continuous sizzling sound as tiny cut marks appeared on the walls of the tunnel. It was caused by the sword qi inside Xia Houzun's body being blown out by the Zhen yuan.
Whoo!
There was no way Ye Chen would give Xia Houzun any chance to breathe, so he waved his longsword and that gentle sword wind attacked toward Xia Houzun again.
"Bastard!"
Bright sparks shot out of his chest as Xia Houzun felt like his chest was about to be shattered. Both of his feet left the ground as he was blown away like an arrow. Eventually, he landed heavily on the wall in the corner, leaving a shallow human-shaped mark on it. Bits of powder started to fall down from the ceiling.
"Gold Ripple!"
Like a shadow, Ye Chen followed right behind Xia Houzun. He performed another ace attack, and that beautiful gold pattern spread out like the waves in the lake. It looked slow, but it was actually spreading out at an extremely fast speed.
Creak!
The sound of his armor twisting was heard as Xia Houzun started to bleed from all over his body. Even his skin started to drip with blood, dying his whole body red.
"You forced me to do this. Blood Emperor Killing Finger!"
Just like thousands of streams returning to their roots, all of the blood on Xia Houzun's body quickly gathered at the tip of his index finger. The skin on his fingertip cracked open, and a red light with a destructive aura shot out. The power hidden in that blood had been sucked out completely as well.
This finger was an extremely powerful secret art. It would deal a thousand damage to the enemy and eight hundred to oneself.
Shoo!
That red light-like finger power was as fast as a flash of light, attacking right in front of Ye Chen within a second.
"Break!"
Performing his Spirit Sword attack, Ye Chen's sword attack landed on that red finger power.
Ting!
Something shocking happened. That indestructible thunder disaster sword suddenly bent like a fully drawn bow. In the next second, an extremely aggressive power traveled through the sword body and attacked onto Ye Chen's palm, corroding his dragon bone defense layer.
"Such an aggressive secret art!"
A stream of blood dripped down from the corner of Ye Chen's mouth like a snake. Shoo! Using that power, Ye Chen bounced back and landed on the ground. He could not help but take a couple of steps back, each step leaving a shallow footprint on the ground.
"Ye Chen!"
Murong Qingcheng called out softly.
Ye Chen waved his hand, "I am fine!"
After saying that, he stared at Xia Houzun and thought to himself, 'It seems like I have still underestimated the top five young warriors. Even if they were forced into a desperate situation, they would still have an ace attack that could turn the situation around. Although using blood as a medium might be a bit too expensive, but in a life and death situation, who would care about that? So, the other top four young warriors might also have some ace attacks that they would not use easily.'
"He did not wound him badly?" Xia Houzun's skin had dried up quite a bit as he stared at Ye Chen with a shocked expression. This Blood Emperor Killing Finger Attack was a secret art created by the previous Blood Emperor thousands of years ago. Once performed, one-fifth of the blood in the body would be evaporated, and the hidden energy would be extracted, forming an indestructible and corrosive finger power. Although one-fifth of the blood was quite shocking, Xia Houzun had actually only lost one-tenth of it. It was not because he had some trick that could lower the requirement, but because that last sword attack of Ye Chen had shaken out all of the blood in his body. Once the blood left the body, it would not lose its energy for a while, which made it perfect for performing the Blood Emperor Killing Finger Attack.
"It is that armor! A semi extreme rank armor!"
Xia Houzun's eyes moved around and soon landed on Ye Chen's protective Zhen yuan. A normal protective Zhen yuan would only be a layer of eggshell qi shield, and only a semi extreme rank armor would be able to leave different patterns on it. Seeing this, he finally understood why Ye Chen's defense was this powerful. With a semi extreme rank armor, his defense would at least double.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said with a hoarse voice, "So, it is because of that semi extreme rank armor. Without it, you would not be able to last until now."
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, "To be honest, as one of the top five young warriors, you indeed have the power, but your character is not good at all. After losing, you would always find excuses. If you are such a sore loser, then don't walk out of the door. If you think that relying on your weapon is not an honorable win, then you can just take off that top rank armor on your body and throw away those gloves on your hands. It would be best if you do not use your secret arts, because the others might not have them. Relying on them would not be an honorable win either. Xia Houzun, do you dare to do that?"
"You!"
Xia Houzun was speechless as his face turned blue.
"What a sharp tongue! But, I, Xia Houzun, have not lost yet. Let's see who can last longer." The wounds on his body had gotten worse. Xia Houzun had lost almost seventy percent of his battling power, and that last Blood Emperor Killing Finger Attack had made his wounds even worse. His skin had dried up, and if it were not for the fact that Sea of Souls Realm warriors had extremely strong vitality, he might not even have the power to stand up.
Whoo!
Taking out a golden pellet from his storage ring, Xia Houzun swallowed it without hesitation.
"Ah! His qi is increasing! "
Ye Chen frowned as he sensed that Xia Houzun's qi was increasing at an unimaginable speed. Soon, it had reached its peak, and had even surpassed it. He was even more powerful than before, and even more aggressive as if he was possessed by a god.
"Could it be a semi extreme rank pellet?"
Ye Chen guessed as he held the handle of his thunder disaster sword tightly. That light wound had already been healed by his undying body, and it would not affect his battling power at all.
Boom!
That aggressive qi spread out, and the space outside of Xia Houzun's body twisted slightly, turning into a golden color. He lifted up his eyes and looked at Ye Chen arrogantly, "You have the semi extreme rank armor, and I have the Blood Emperor Battle Spirit Pellet. The victory will belong to me, Xia Houzun."
The Blood Emperor Battle Spirit Pellet was not the semi extreme rank pellet that Ye Chen had guessed. Instead, it was an extreme rank pellet that had lost part of its medicinal effect. Its value would not be lower than a semi extreme rank armor. In terms of short-term effects, it would be even more powerful than a semi extreme rank armor, since the pellet was a consumable item.
Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! A red qi flow appeared on the surface of Xia Houzun's body. The qi flow condensed together, eventually forming a blood colored energy armor that covered his entire body. On top of the armor, golden strings spread out, covering his whole body, making him look like a killing machine.
Boom!
Stepping on the wall behind him, Xia Houzun turned into a beam of blood colored lightning, shooting right at Ye Chen as he threw out a finger attack.
Ye Chen lifted up his thunder disaster sword and started to battle with Xia Houzun.
"What a great pellet! Not only did it double his defense, but it also healed all of his wounds, increasing his battling power."
Ye Chen was shocked. He had started to wonder if the pellet was a semi extreme rank pellet. The legendary semi extreme rank pellets should not have such powerful effects, being able to heal serious internal wounds in a short period of time and increase one's defense.
The two continued to battle in the tunnel, fighting in close combat.
Xia Houzun's Void Shattering Finger Art was unstoppable in close combat, since it was way too fast. On the other hand, Ye Chen's Spiritual Sword was not weaker than Xia Houzun's Void Shattering Finger Art either. It was also fast, causing the two to be hit by each other from time to time.
At this point in the battle, the two did not have any other thoughts except to beat each other completely. If there was a chance, they would kill each other.
"I would like to see how long you can last."
With the protection of the blood colored energy armor, Xia Houzun only attacked without defending. He did not even need to use his ace attacks like Finger the Sky or Draw. Instead, he kept performing his Star Nuclear Finger and Void Shattering Finger, as well as his Falling Star Finger and Comet Finger, trying to burn out all of Ye Chen's Zhen yuan.
"Don't worry, it will not be me."
The sword qi was blocked out by the blood-colored energy armor. Besides the initial shock, Ye Chen gradually calmed down. Each of his sword attacks landed on the same spot, trying to break through the surface. He did not believe that this blood-colored energy armor would be able to last forever.
Pooh!
Puking out a mouthful of blood, Ye Chen did not seem to have heard it as he continued to battle with Xia Houzun. With his undying body, he did not have to worry about it at all.
Gradually, Xia Houzun realized that something was wrong. Although he had only managed to wound Ye Chen a little bit each time, it would eventually turn into a serious injury. But looking at Ye Chen's battling condition, it was obvious that he was not affected at all. Instead, he seemed to be getting more and more powerful as the battle went on.
Although he had the blood colored energy armor, which could block out most of the power, he would still be shaken to death if it went on like this. The Blood Emperor Battle Spirit Pellet could only heal him completely, and the blood that he had lost would not be replenished immediately. It would take some time.
"Blood Emperor Killing Finger!"
Xia Houzun looked extremely evil as he used up a quarter of his blood and pointed at Ye Chen's forehead.
"Thunder Devour!"
The two swords crossed as Ye Chen threw out a thunder ball. It was slowly turning silver, which was a sign of his thunder profound improving.
