Chapter 303 - Chains (1/2)

Hao Xuan stretched and flexed his muscles, feeling the wind on his skin and the coldness of the air through the armor.

The armor was now permanently bonded with his body. As long as there was any part of him that was still alive, then even if the armor was completely destroyed it would still be able to recover and grow along with him.

That was the reason for the popularity of the Living weapons and armors. They might not seem strong at first glance but they would elevate themselves along with the user and evolve with them.

And there was no way to lose them unless someone intentionally cut off the bond or was simply killed and the armor extracted from their body.

Hao Xuan looked down at his arms and feet covered in the black and gold armor pieces, a feeling of invincibility coming from somewhere deep inside him. He finally felt like all that hard work he had put in over the last few weeks was finally showing its result.

Everyone was watching on with bated breaths. This was a turning point in this fight that had been all but decided the moment these people stepped into the cavern.

Right now Green, Red, Monk, and Ensis were standing in the four corners of the cavern. The Scorpion King had completely ignored them since they didn't have any killing intent towards him.

After Hao Xuan was done admiring the armor, he held out his right hand and the Glaive appeared in his palm. He didn't call it from the storage space of the watch but from the Meridian in his chest.

*Shiiiiiiiin~*

As soon as the Glaive materialized it let out a high pitched noise and started vibrating. Almost instantly in response the armor let out the same high pitched noise and shook several times.

Hao Xuan smiled, ”Shh, relax. There's no reason to be so aggressive,” he whispered to the glaive to calm it down.

Both of these 'entities' were actually conscious. When the Glaive was summoned, it detected Hao Xuan's connection to the armor and tried to destroy it. In response, the armor retaliated.

Living pieces of equipment were extremely territorial and normally you would never see more than one of the same type of equipment on a cultivators body.

For example since Hao Xuan had the Glaive, he would not be able to bond with any other type of Living Weapon. The glaive would simply not allow it. Sharing was not a concept they understood.

Hao Xuan looked ahead and nodded. All his severs that were already in the cavern lifted their sleeves and showed thick chains that were bound around their arms.

If looked closely they were slowly moving around on their own, making occasional rattling noises.

This was the first time the Scorpion King had a change of expression ever since the fight had first begun. He squinted his massive eyes and stared at the pitch black chains in their hands.

He floated up and off the ground and covered himself with a barrier of Qi. Those chains gave him a bad feeling.

Ensis was the first to begin. He cut open his hand and dropped a few droplets of blood on the chain. All of a sudden as if someone had jolted it back to life, the chain started moving around like a serpent.

Ensis gritted his teeth and held onto on side with both hands while the other slowly thrashed about, moving towards the other corner of the cavern where Green was standing.
