Chapter 624 - 619: Supreme Inner Armor?
In arena three, many pairs of eyes were focused here, and even Qingya at arena one rarely opened her eyes at this moment.
The great powers of the four major forces at the high platform also glanced this way, for at this moment, the truly exciting battle among the ten arenas was taking place at arena three.
The First Hall Master watched silently, seeming to have noticed Long Nannan's hands, but his eyes that were revealed showed no change and were utterly indifferent.
The great powers from the other three great forces were somewhat curious to see how Long Nannan would respond.
Long Nannan, who was attracting much attention, was already holding her short sword and had rushed in front of the Sacred Warrior. With a comet-like speed, the Sacred Warrior's great sword slashed down fiercely, imbued with incredibly potent Sacred Sword Qi, as if to dispel all evil.
The Sacred Warrior was fast, but Long Nannan was even faster!
At this moment, Long Nannan's petite figure, with the glimmering short sword in hand, had plunged into the Sacred Warrior's armor. The seemingly impenetrable energy armor of the Sacred Warrior was now like paper mache, punctured instantly by the short sword in Nannan's hands!
The Sacred Warrior's great sword was still some distance away from Nannan and had already frozen in midair.
But just then, the Dark Demon God's massive battle blade, emanating a dark aura, had swiftly chopped down, and at this moment, the Dark Battle Blade struck Long Nannan's back.
Everyone couldn't help but turn to look, as the Dark Battle Blade seemed larger than Long Nannan's entire figure. As the Dark Battle Blade landed on her, everyone thought that Long Nannan would be cleaved in two.
During this time, Long Nannan, who had plunged her short sword into the chest of the Sacred Warrior, twisted the sword in her hand, shattering the Sacred Warrior before her, and inwardly cried out, "Dragon Transformation!"
Beneath her clothes, small, dense scales began to protrude from her skin, forming a piece of Qilin Armor in an instant, which enveloped her entire back.
Bang!
At that moment, a tremor erupted when the Dark Battle Blade made contact with Nannan's back. Despite the force, the Dark Battle Blade seemed to strike Vajra, unable to slash through and immobilized.
Those who were watching were instantly agape, disbelieving the scene before their eyes. The seemingly all-cutting Dark Battle Blade was now incapable of slicing through an unarmored cultivator?
Long Nannan's Qilin Armor was inconspicuous, and her clothes obstructed the view, so no one could see the Qilin Armor on her back at this moment.
Many were dumbfounded. Upon seeing this scene, Qingya from arena one was slightly surprised. He had not seen Long Nannan's Qilin Armor and did not know how she had managed to withstand the attack.
However, the great powers of the Yin-Yang Realm saw hints of the Qilin Armor. Divine Master Tanaka said flatly at this time, "She has a top-level Inner Armor on."
Divine Master Tanaka did not hide his voice, and upon hearing his words, many present had their own epiphanies.
"So she has a top-level Inner Armor. No wonder she dared to take on the Energy Body's attack head-on."
"How strong must that top-level Inner Armor be to withstand the hit from such a powerful Energy Body?"
"It must also be a top-level Magic Treasure. But with her strength, having such a treasure isn't surprising; she's probably a prodigy from some major power within Xuanyuan Hall."
"Perhaps she is a prodigy secretly cultivated by Xuanyuan Hall. Otherwise, how could she have obtained such strength and a top-level magic treasure at such a young age?"
The experts from the other three major forces speculated, directly treating Long Nannan as a prodigy from a major power within Xuanyuan Hall, hence her tremendous strength and an exceptional Inner Armor with superb defensive power.
The First Hall Master, however, had a peculiar look in his eyes. He had seen a glint of light and knew that it wasn't any Inner Armor at all. Yet, since others thought so, he would not go out of his way to reveal the truth.
Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong had been wide-eyed. Upon hearing Divine Master Tanaka's words, they finally relaxed.
"So Nannan has a top-level Inner Armor for protection; no wonder you and Ye Feng were so confident," Chi Jark couldn't help but sigh, having been somewhat worried about Long Nannan earlier.
"Even with a top-level Inner Armor, such a powerful strike must still have a significant impact," Xiao Rulong said gravely, his eyes fixed on Long Nannan on the platform.
Ye Feng and Sausage Sister just smiled without saying anything. Everyone thought it was some exceptional Inner Armor, but only the two of them knew clearly that it was not any exceptional scale armor; it was Long Nannan's Dragon Transformation!
Long Nannan had forcefully executed a Dragon Transformation while she was at the Half-Step Golden Core stage before fainting. Now, after waking up, she had already gained control over a part of her Dragon Transformation.
This was what Sausage Sister had recently informed Ye Feng. With the help of Old Man with Big Tobacco Pipe at the Great Wall of Heaven, while Long Nannan's injuries were being healed, she had also mastered some control over the power of Dragon Transformation. Although it wasn't possible to fully perform a Dragon Transformation yet, she was now capable of controlling partial transformations.
But as Xiao Rulong had pointed out, the impact was still quite strong. However, as long as the hitting force didn't breach the Qilin Armor's threshold, the impact was already significantly reduced.
At this moment, Long Nannan on the stage merely grunted, completely disregarding the Dark Battle Blade behind her as she shouted once more, "Dragon Break!"
Long Nannan's other fist clenched, with countless Power of Spirit Essence converging on it, and under the dense power, pieces of Qilin Armor covered her entire palm — a scene invisible to outsiders.
Boom!
Long Nannan's radiantly glowing fist smashed viciously into the chest of the Sacred Warrior, and with the Short Sword in her other hand stirring madly, just in a moment's time, cracks appeared at the attacked spot on the Sacred Warrior's chest — and spread quickly throughout the giant's body.
Crack crack!
The energy body of the Sacred Warrior exploded in this moment, its dense Power of the Sacred blowing apart, sending shockwaves pounding against the surrounding Array of the arena, which in turn blinked with bursts of golden light, resisting the blast from the explosion of the Sacred Warrior.
Feng Ye's expression completely changed upon seeing this scene; he had never expected things to turn out this way, his Fusion Technique-summoned Sacred Warrior shattered in one exchange!?
Looking at the huge Dark Battle Blade still motionless behind Long Nannan, Feng Ye's expression grew fierce, "Damn it, I didn't expect there to be such a top-tier Inner Armor on her!"
Feng Ye blamed everything on the top-tier Inner Armor Long Nannan was supposedly wearing, believing that without it, Long Nannan would have been spliced into two by now!
But what he didn't know was that there was no top-tier Inner Armor at all.
"Divine Treasury, keep slashing at her!"
Feng Ye growled low. He was now greatly spent and utterly unable to fight on his own, left with only the Divine Treasury and the Dark Demon God to rely on.
"Only a Dark Demon God remains to slash at you!"
Feng Ye gritted his teeth as he spoke. He had no other option but to pin his hopes on the Dark Demon God; if it too failed, he would be forced to enter the fray himself.
The Divine Treasury Mage controlled the Dark Demon God, his Zen Staff continuously erupting with Dharma Seals that flew towards the Dark Demon God.
The Dark Demon God lifted the Dark Battle Blade, hacking down another ferocious strike with incredibly fierce Blade Qi, aiming to cleave Long Nannan.
Now with both hands free, Long Nannan naturally wouldn't shy away from the Dark Demon God. Raising her Short Sword, she charged directly into the Blade Qi; her sword once again shone brightly as her tiny figure dashed with extreme speed. Just as the savage Blade Qi was about to strike Long Nannan, she warped her body mysteriously, dodging past the Qi which, in turn, flew towards the Divine Treasury Mage behind her!
The Divine Treasury Mage's eyes widened in disbelief at the unexpected turn of events, and Feng Ye, witnessing the Blade Qi flying towards the Divine Treasury Mage, was utterly confounded. How did that happen?
With such proximity, Long Nannan still managed to evade; what speed did that require!?
"Divine Treasury, dodge it!"
Feng Ye roared. If this slash landed, his Shikigami was sure to be injured!
But the Divine Treasury Mage wanted to dodge too — however, the Fusion Technique he performed earlier had also consumed a frightening amount of energy, and with the continuous manipulation of two energy bodies, he was now drawing on his last reserves.
He raised his Zen Staff in front of him, pushing his body to move, but it was already too late.
The ferocious Blade Qi slashed towards the Divine Treasury Mage, and despite his efforts to dodge, it still hit his shoulder. Though the Zen Staff deflected the Qi, the powerful impact sent it flying, and his shoulder was shattered by the Blade Qi.
Spurt!
The Divine Treasury Mage was blasted away, falling onto the platform and coughing up blood, his arm now entirely useless.
Feng Ye also spat out blood at that moment. As the Shikigami was injured, he too suffered backlash!
Neither the Wise and Faithful Martial Lord nor the Red Moon Ninja had sustained substantial injuries earlier, so the effects had been minimal. However, the injury taken by the Divine Treasury Mage was to his shoulder, smashing it, effectively ruining one arm, an injury of considerable severity.
"Wise and Faithful, Red Moon, Divine Treasury, return!"
Feng Ye's face was pale as he summoned up all his strength to imprint Dharma Seals in the air. Three Summoning Formations appeared under the feet of the three Shikigami, and in the blink of an eye, the Shikigami vanished from the arena, leaving him appearing utterly spent, his energy weak to the core.
With the manipulator gone, the Array naturally failed, and the Dark Demon God fell apart. The Dharma Seals on the ground and in the sky slowly dissipated.
Without looking back, Feng Ye immediately flew up to the high platform of the Yin-Yang Temple; he no longer had the strength to continue the fight. He had never envisioned such an outcome, and as he flew back, his face was the picture of frustration. How could he have anticipated being critically injured by his own attack?
The entire venue had quieted down, the battle on Arena Three having come to such an unexpected conclusion.
What do you think?
