C78 (1/2)

After Miao Boyang retreated, the black flames returned to Chen Yi's side.

Miao Boguang's eyes flashed. ”It seems that the black flames on the outside of your body have a range limit.”

Chen Yi said faintly, ”As expected of the direct disciple of the Mysterious Shadows Sect, you saw through it with a single glance.”

The third stage of the [Burning Demon Body] would be completely transformed into a burning demon. Its power would greatly increase, and just the strength of its flesh would be enough to crush an ordinary small cycle.

The black flames that burned around Chen Yi's body were just one of the characteristics of the Burning Demon Body. It possessed a certain level of defensive and offensive strength, but that was all it took for it to not be a powerful ability.

For example, a bear's fur could protect it from the cold, but it could not be used to attack.

The flames that were burning on Chen Yi's body, while covering his entire body, could only extend up to three inches.

He gathered all his flames onto the [Violet Rain Sword], extending it by at most one to two feet.

Its power couldn't be considered weak, but it couldn't be considered strong either. As the [Burning Demon Body] grew stronger, so could its power.

At the current stage of the Body of the Burning Demon, the power of the black flames could at most pose a threat to medium-grade human-step divine weapons.

Even a top medium-grade human-step divine weapon or high-grade quasi-human-level divine weapon would be able to ignore the black flames as if they were nothing.

The reason why Chen Yi had been able to destroy four throwing daggers with a single punch before, aside from ordinary medium-grade human-level divine weapons, he had also relied more on the power of the Body of the Burning Demon than on his flames.

When Chen Yi shattered the four throwing knives with a single punch, they had already lost the ability to rely on true qi for power. Their power had greatly decreased, which was why they were destroyed by the black flames.

Even so, the black flames were already difficult for a lot of Lesser Heaven stage martial practitioners to deal with at the Lesser Heaven stage.

After all, only those in the Greater Heaven stage would be able to release their true qi.

In the Lesser Heaven stage, the special bloodline Awakened ones held a huge advantage. Ordinary Lesser Heaven stage martial practitioners would find it difficult to fight them, and would have to rely on all sorts of external means.

For example, divine weapons!

”It seems that you haven't awakened your bloodline's sacred art yet,” Miao Boguang said flatly.

”If that's the case, then this special bloodline will only enhance your physical strength. At the same time, it will also enhance your martial arts cultivation and true energy.”

”As long as you can resist the black flames surrounding you, your threat will be greatly reduced.”

As Miao Boguang spoke, a purple glow emerged from his body. Then, a purple armor gradually appeared on his body.

The purple-colored armor wrapped tightly around Miao Boguang. Only his face could be seen as his entire body was wrapped within it.

It was actually a Divine Defensive Weapon!

With Miao Boyang's identity as the direct disciple of the Mysterious Shadows Sect, this defensive weapon was very likely to have reached the upper rank of the quasi-Mortal level!

Among Divine Weapons, Divine Defense Weapons were even more precious! It was even rarer!

This was because the difficulty of forging a defensive weapon far exceeded that of forging an offensive weapon!

As for defensive divine weapons, they also had to consider a martial artist's joint movements. After all, one couldn't wear a defensive divine weapon, but even their movements and agility would be severely restricted.

Dressed in a defensive divine weapon, Miao Boyang once again dashed towards Chen Yi. The divine sword in his hand transformed into countless sword shadows, filled with endless killing intent.

Clang clang clang!

The two of them were very fast, in a blink of an eye they had already exchanged more than ten moves. The clanging sounds of the two divine swords hitting each other could be heard throughout the entire Yingying Pavilion.

As a small circle Heavenly Master, not only was Miao Boguang's movement technique high quality, but he had also practiced it to mastery. Naturally, his speed was very fast.

Surprised to find that Chen Yi had barely managed to keep up with his speed, Miao Boyang was surprised.

Chen Yi's martial arts cultivation was indeed low, but after executing the second stage of the Body of the Burning Demon, the power of Chen Yi's bloodline had already strengthened his body to the point that he could contend against the Small Circle of Heaven.
