Chapter 574 - Divine Artifact? (1/2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Bang!”
The Blood Knight cracked a smile while he faced Chen Fan’s infamous flying sword. He unsheathed a thin and slender Knight’s Sword that was completely etched with complex patterns that looked like blood drops.
“Clang!”
As the Blood Knight swung the blade, a surge of crimson energy was shot out from the edge of the blade and it clashed with the Sword of Essence Restoring. Chen Fan’s sword trembled a little, giving the Blood Knight time to lash out twelve more times. Each attack sliced through the air and it reached supersonic speeds.
The Sword of Essence Restoring was forced back by the flurry of attacks. Its body vibrated violently, making a high pitch humming noise.
Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s eyes were wide open in disbelief.
The onlookers around the battle were also shocked by the development.
Did he just force back Chen Fan’s Sword of Essence Restoring? How was that possible? An average Immortal State Warrior would never be able to do that. Even peak level Immortal State Warriors could only last a few minutes while fighting against the Sword of Essence Restoring.
“That must be the power of a peak level Mortal Deity.”
Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s face changed a little.
Although she was confident in her master’s ability, she started to worry nonetheless. The Blood Knight didn’t come alone and there were three more Overlords in addition to the Blood Knight. She had doubts about whether she would be able to ward off their combined attack.
“It’s just so so.”
The Blood Knight sheathed his blade and cracked a smile.
Chen Fan furrowed his brows slightly. The Sword of Essence Restoring was a deadly weapon, and the fact that the Blood Knight’s weapon was able to counter it meant that it was an even more powerful Spirit Artifact.
“The Dark World Arbitration Department really lives up to its reputation for being wealthy. Even an Arbitrator of his rank has a Spirit Artifact. They are so rare that the Heavenly Master Sect has barely gathered one throughout its thousand-year-old history.”
Chen Fan was unfazed despite his enemy’s deadliness. He prepared for another attack.
“You can counter my attack once, but can you do it more times?”
Chen Fan charged up his energy and channeled it to the Sword of Essence Restoring.
The Sword of Essence Restoring suddenly replicated itself. Although the copies’ Blade Aura was not as deadly as the original, they were potent and extremely sharp nonetheless.
Art of Multiplying Blade Auras!
This art was recorded on the Sword Art of Nine Abandonments obtained by the Exalted Cultivator. However, the Exalted Cultivator’s enlightenment was not enough to learn this art. In the end, he had physically created nine flying swords instead of creating copies of one.
On the other hand, Chen Fan had quickly mastered the art and was able to create the copies, making the art much more effective than before.
“Shoo Shoo Shoo.”
Chen Fan pointed his fingers and commanded nine golden Blades to soar up into the sky and swoop down. Their Blade Auras illuminated the sky and their Blade Qis separated the rain curtain.
“Sh*t!”
Blood Knight’s face was darkened by such a sight.
Although he was revered as the most skilled swordmaster in the West, and he wielded a Divine Artifact pa.s.sed down from a saint, his confidence faltered for a bit as he dealt with ten flying swords at the same time.
“Clank, clank!”
Many crimson Blade Auras erupted around the Blood Knight, protecting him within their glow. However, the ten blades swarmed Blood Knight at the same time and the protective Blade Aura quickly waned.
By the third impact, the Blade Aura started to shrink.
After the fifth blow, the Blood Knight staggered back, nearly losing his balance.
After the seventh blow, Chen Fan’s Blade Aura penetrated Blood Knight’s defense and landed on his body.
The next three attacks all landed squarely on Blood Knight’s body; they went through and punched many holes in his body.
“Urhh!”
Blood Knight fell to the ground.
There were four large holes on his body, each located on vital parts, such as the chest area. Those wounds would have already killed him if he were a mortal.
However, to Chen Fan’s surprise, the gaping wounds were quickly closed off by themselves, and Blood Knight rose to his feet again. Other than his tattered clothing, there was no sign of any injury.
An undying body!
His body shared many similarities with Damon’s. However, despite the healing of his wounds, Blood Knight’s face was colorless. He had lost his ground after the seventh attack, meaning that he was no match against Chen Fan.
“The Dark Blood Race’s Half Breed has some truly powerful abilities,” Chen Fan exclaimed.
The Dark Wolf and the Dark Blood Races were renowned for their extreme vitality. Not only could they live longer, they also possessed an exceptional ability to regenerate their bodies. They could survive even without blood running in their systems. The only way to kill them was through decapitation and cremation.
“I wonder, can you regenerate once I beat you to a pulp?”
Chen Fan let out a faint smile and then he waved a hand.
“Boom!”
The ten golden Blade Auras were further split, creating nine more sets of three meter long blades. It looked as if there were a myriad Blade Auras in the sky.
A hundred copies of one sword!
The Art of Multiplying Blade Auras was the bread and b.u.t.ter of the Art of Flying Swords. The ability to split one Blade Aura into ten was the foundation of that skill, and the standard version was to split one Blade Aura into a hundred. As for the Perfected Immortals who had reached the Dao Reunion level, they could have created hundreds of millions of copies to overwhelm an entire planet.
“What?”
The Blood Knight was disheartened by the development.
“I think Claude is about to give up. Time for us to join in,” the Dark Duke said with a scowl.
“It has been ten years since the last time we joined forces. The last time we did it was against Antonio.” The Devil of Death cracked a cold smile.
“Boom!”
The Earl of Terror attacked first.
