Chapter 369: Horned Fish Claws Beast
Translator: jinzeffect
Li Fuchen turned around to face the sinister man.
“Not escaping?” The sinister man was rather surprised.
He didn’t know what gave Li Fuchen his confidence. But in his opinion, Li Fuchen was definitely not a Reincarnation Realm martial artist. There was a possibility that Li Fuchen was a reincarnation realm body refinement martial artist, but it was only a possibility. Body refinement martial artists had a harder time in progression as compared to qi cultivation martial artists. There were no Reincarnation Realm body refinement martial artists below the age of 30 in the South Forest Region. It was extremely rare even in the entire Violet Flower Kingdom.
“If you are not going to escape, then die!”
The sinister man’s weapon was a pair of steel claws. The qi presence that the steel claws emitted felt as though they could rip anything and it had an unstoppable feeling.
“That is definitely an earth class weapon.” Li Fuchen’s eyes shrunk.
The forging method of earth class weapons had already died out in the East Unicorn Continent. Perhaps there were people who obtained earth class weapons, but it was definitely not forged. They were either obtained from certain ruins like the Black Sky Sect Ruins’ inner palace which contained eight treasures. Among those treasures were earth class weapons and armors. The Silver Scale Armor on his body was one of those earth class mid-tier armors.
After living here for a number of days, Li Fuchen gradually understood the material values in the Seven Color Continent.
A mystic class peak-tier weapon would be generally sold for over six million gold coins on the East Unicorn Continent, or for one low-grade spirit stone.
But on the Seven Color Continent, mystic class peak-tier weapons were sold for 10 low-grade spirit stones. The difference in price was ten times apart.
This was mainly due to the fact that there were too many experts on the Seven Color Continent. The number was immeasurable and that naturally caused an increase in demand.
As for earth class weapons, the situation of the two continents were also entirely different.
Earth class weapons were considered priceless treasures in the East Unicorn Continent. One couldn’t even purchase one with spirits stones. No one would sell it unless it was their last resort.
On the Seven Color Continent, regular earth class weapons were still purchasable but the prices were ridiculously expensive. Even the most ordinary earth class low-tier weapon would cause at least 1000 low-grade spirit stones. Moreover, those weapons might not be suitable.
Seeing that his opponent’s cultivation had reached the 3rd level Reincarnation Realm while also having a pair of earth class claws, Li Fuchen wasn’t confident in winning this fight right now.
“Die!”
The sinister man’s figure flashed like a whirlwind. Immediately after, two claw lights intersected and ripped over like a giant net enveloping Li Fuchen.
Crackle!
The ground below Li Fuchen’s feet were broken and in shambles. They looked as though they were slashed by countless blades in an irregular manner and uneven surface.
This unstoppable claw force and intent had acted first on the ground.
“Such power.” Li Fuchen’s expression shivered. He circulated his dragon elephant power frenetically and executed the Metal Bone Fist at the giant net.
Boom!
The sound of the dragon elephant could be heard faintly. A giant dark gold fist burst into the sky and there was a flash of the image of a giant elephant in the air.
Pitter-patter!
The giant net and dark gold fist exploded before scattering into the void.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThud thud thud!
Li Fuchen a few steps back.
This was the first time he was in a disadvantageous position since he arrived at the Seven Color Continent.
“It is indeed worth to be an earth class weapon. It actually enhanced the user’s strength to such an extent.”
Li Fuchen felt that he was overly optimistic.
He believed that he could fight against a 4th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist, but it was only in regards to the 4th level Reincarnation Realm martial artists on the East Unicorn Continent. Since most of the 4th level Reincarnation Realm martial artists on the Seven Color Continent were wielding earth class weapons, they could no longer be compared with one another.
It was fortunate that this sinister man was only at the 3rd level of Reincarnation Realm. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need to even battle. Li Fuchen should just immediately flee.
“What? You are a Reincarnation Realm body refinement martial artist?” The sinister man couldn’t believe it.
“Perhaps he is specialized in maintaining his health. His true age might be older than 30 years old.” The sinister man didn’t believe that Li Fuchen was less than 30 years of age.
It was truly unimaginable for a person below the age of 30 to be a Reincarnation Realm body refinement martial artist.
“Even if you are a Reincarnation Realm body refinement martial artist, you still have to die.”
The sinister man had killed plenty of reincarnation realm martial artists. Once a body refinement martial artist exhausted all his qi, he would certainly be dead.
After knowing that Li Fuchen was a Reincarnation Realm body refinement martial artist, the sinister man attacked with more aggression.
“If my qi has recovered, why do I have to fear him?” Li Fuchen felt helpless.
In terms of strength, after using his trump cards, Li Fuchen’s qi strength had surpassed his body refinement strength.
After all, the 6-star secret technique Bronze Sword Essence, the Nine Revolution Purple Qi Divine Technique pattern and the Clear Sky Sword Art martial pattern weren’t just for show.
“Metal Bone Soul Split!”
Li Fuchen blasted out a fist with dark gold molten. After destroying the claw lights, Li Fuchen turned and fled.
His dragon elephant power was limited and it was impossible for him to drag the fight with his opponent. He was going to plan again after entering the Cloud Sun Mountains.
Cloud Sun Mountains was just at the first. Li Fuchen’s footsteps were glowing with a pale golden luster. Every step would be a few hundred meters and he was extremely fast.
“Where are you trying to go?”
The sinister man flew into the air and had a similarly fast speed. As compared to Li Fuchen, he was slightly faster.
One of them fled, while the other pursued. Soon enough, they entered the Cloud Sun Mountains.
“Ground Wolf Claw!” The sinister man burst out with a yell and brandished his claw.
In the air, a giant wolf claw tore at Li Fuchen with matchless prowess.
Boom!
A small hill was split open.
Ignoring the shards of rocks and the severe qi force that landed on his body, Li Fuchen continued to flee rapidly.
“Damn body refinement martial artist.”
In conditions where the strength was comparable, body refinement martial artists’ defenses were much tougher than qi cultivation martial artists. If this sinister man was to stand still, he would only be able to defend against attacks from a 1st level Reincarnation Realm martial artist. Furthermore, he would only be able to guard against one or two attacks. He would still suffer injuries if the number of attacks were to increase unless he possessed an earth class armor. A body refinement martial artist’s defenses and strength were closely related, thus, a 3rd level Reincarnation Realm body refinement martial artist could simply ignore the attacks from a 1st level Reincarnation Realm martial artist.
“Ground Wolf Soul Searching Claw!”
After taking a deep breath, the sinister man executed the Ground Wolf Claw’s kill move.
In the air, a massive wolf claw shadow assaulted Li Fuchen rapidly. Li Fuchen attempted to dodge, but that massive wolf claw shadow adjusted its direction. Due to the massive size, it merely had to make a small adjustment.
“I can’t dodge it?” Li Fuchen frowned.
Seeing the situation, the sinister man sneered. This Ground Wolf Claw might not be an earth class martial arts, but it was an extremely powerful mystic class peak-tier martial arts. After infusing a portion of his awareness, he could remotely control the direction of the attack.
Boom!
Ultimately, the massive wolf claw shadow blasted onto Li Fuchen’s back and sent him rocketing as though an ant getting smacked.
But the sinister man was flabbergasted as Li Fuchen merely vomited a mouthful of blood and nothing else happened to him.
“It lives up to its name as an earth class weapon.”
Li Fuchen believed that he could ignore the attack from a 3rd level Reincarnation Realm martial artist for a short period of time. With his earth class mid-tier Silver Scale Armor, it shouldn’t be a problem to resist the attack from a 4th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist. Yet, he was still slightly injured from a single attack by the sinister man.
Of course, the main reason for this was that the Silver Scale Armor required qi to activate its defensive capability. Otherwise, it would just be a dead object that used its indestructible properties to offset some damage.
“That armor?”
The sinister man’s eyes released horrifying radiance as he stared closely at the Silver Scale Armor which got revealed after Li Fuchen’s clothes were tattered.
“It must be an earth class armor.”
At this moment, the sinister man had another addition reason to kill Li Fuchen.
For the spirit stones and for this earth class armor, Li Fuchen had to die.
“Ground Wolf Soul Searching Claw!”
The sinister man executed another kill move at Li Fuchen.
This time the sinister man flew higher and launched the wolf claw shadow from above. He was preparing to slam Li Fuchen into the ground.
At the crucial moment, Li Fuchen turned around and launched a fist at the wolf claw shadow.
Rumble!
The ground shattered and Li Fuchen’s face turned pale. He was sent flying backward and had fallen into a nearby lake.
“Ground Wolf Group Dance!”
The sinister man looked down from about while constantly brandishing both his claws at the average-sized lake. For an instant, every inch of the lake was blasted up with waves that were up to a hundred meters in height. One could even faintly see the bottom of the lake.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoar!
All of a sudden, a terrifying beast roar could be heard. Immediately after, a ferocious fish-type demonic beast with four claws and a unicorn had rushed into the sky.
This was a class 5 low-tier demonic beast, the Horned Fish Claws Beast.
The Horned Fish Claws Beast was extremely furious. It was originally having a good sleep and inside a good dream. But a human barged into its territory and roused it awake. When it was preparing to feast on that human, there was someone blasting at the lake from above and had destroyed its habitat.
After rushing up to the sky the Horned Fish Claws Beast sized up the sinister man and knew this situation was bad.
It knew it wasn’t a match for this human expert.
But before it fled, it wanted to teach this human a lesson.
The horn on the head flickered with electric arcs before the Horned Fish Claws Beast launched endless lightning bolts at the sinister man.
The sinister man was startled by the Horned Fish Claws Beast and paused for a moment. When he noticed that it was the Horned Fish Claws Beast, he didn’t pay any attention to it as a single Horned Fish Claws Beast wasn’t a match for him. But he didn’t expect that this Horned Fish Claws Beast would simply attack without notice and it had caught him unprepared.
Pitter-patter!
Endless lightning bolts assaulted while the sinister man quickly used his claws to defend.
But those lightning bolts seemed to be able to ignore the defense as the sinister man seemed to be feeling rather awful while getting electrocuted as his body felt paralyzed.
“Eh? There is a chance?”
The Horned Fish Claws Beast’s eyes lit up and continued another barrage of lightning bolts attack.
After getting electrocuted three times, the sinister man suffered some rather serious internal injuries.
He was infuriated.
“Ground Wolf Claw!
Enduring the discomfort of his body, the sinister man swung his claw at the Horned Fish Claws Beast. This claw only had 30% of its normal power.
Bang!
Merely 30% of power was enough to deal with the Horned Fish Claws Beast as its body burst out with blood.
“Flee!”
The Horned Fish Claws Beast scuttled back into the lake and instantly dove deep into the lake.
“Get your ass out here!”
The sinister man wanted to kill both the Horned Fish Claws Beast and Li Fuchen. He executed a claw strike at the ground at the border of the lake. It had opened up a huge gorge where the lake water rushed out.
Boom Boom Boom!
In just the blink of the eye, the sinister man opened up dozens of gorges by the edge of the lake, draining half the lake water.
Looking through the muddy lake water, the sinister man scanned with his eyes and his awareness.
“Where are they?!” The sinister man’s expression changed drastically.
At the bottom of the lake, Li Fuchen and the Horned Fish Claws Beast were missing.
After taking a closer look, the sinister man noticed there was a deep hole under the lake where water flowed out constantly and refilled the lake.
It seemed like this lake was connected to another large lake in the Cloud Sun Mountains. The Horned Fish Claws Beast wasn’t able to continue living in that large lake, thus, it escaped to this smaller lake to recuperate and also to abuse its tyranny.
