Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 867 Jade Bones
Hong Kun sneered and no longer pursued changes in his swordsmanship. Every sword he struck was a head-on collision, unleashing an even more powerful burst of energy and blood.

As the two swords continued to clash, the recoil force Zhang Haoran endured became stronger and stronger, his internal organs began to be injured, and his sword-drawing speed was inevitably affected and slowed down a bit.

This gave Hong Kun the opportunity to occasionally counterattack, but Zhang Haoran didn't even look at the long sword that was coming at him, and just slashed it away...

"At worst, I can just trade injuries for injuries. Who's afraid of who? I'm just going to beat you up!"

He wanted to exchange injuries, but Hong Kun was not happy about it. The main reason was that Zhang Haoran's attack speed was too fast. After slashing him with a sword, he still had time to retract the sword and defend himself, which meant that he was hit by the sword in vain.

After suffering several losses, Hongkun stopped attacking and danced with the sword of destruction in the wind and rain. Every time the swords collided, a powerful blood and energy burst out.

Playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses is the most important thing a warrior needs to grasp when fighting.

As the battle continued, Zhang Haoran's internal injuries became more and more serious. A pill he had taken in advance dissolved in his body, and a large amount of life force surged out, quickly repairing some cracks on his internal organs.

In fact, he had anticipated this situation. After all, Hong Kun had broken two virtual doors. Even among those who had broken the Eight Heavenly Kings, he was considered a strong man.

His energy and blood were much higher than his own, so if he fought head-on, he would definitely suffer a loss, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"I am a swordsman! I should become more courageous with every setback! It is too shameful for a swordsman to lose to the enemy in terms of attack power."

If the Qi and blood are insufficient, then use the sword intent to make up for it. Zhang Haoran used all his strength to activate the Immortal Sword Soul, making the Qi and blood bursting out with each sword become more condensed.

However, Hong Kun was also very cunning, and the amount of energy and blood he used to resist each time was almost the same. When he couldn't keep up with the speed, he would burst out.
Every explosion made Zhang Haoran feel very uncomfortable. If it weren’t for his strong physique, he would probably have vomited blood.

Zhang Haoran didn't care about this injury. A little bit of it would add up to a lot. That was for others. Even if the battle was too intense and he didn't have time to drink the essence of life, he could still recover his body through the immortal power.

The stronger the opponent, the better. The stronger the opponent, the longer you can fight and the greater the chance of your sword soul transforming.

Zhang Haoran still maintained the highest attack frequency, but he soon found that he could not gain much advantage with swordsmanship alone, after all, Hongkun's blood and energy were much stronger than his.

No matter how exquisite the swordsmanship is, it still requires the support of qi and blood. He attacked for a long time, but the two sides still ended in a draw.

Moreover, Zhang Haoran felt a hint of uneasiness in his heart, which was the warning from a warrior's intuition.

"This old silver coin, is he hiding some killer trick and planning to use it against me?"

"It is very possible that my energy and blood have already exploded to the limit, but Hongkun may not be the same.

Not necessarily!

Hongkun must have some reservations.

He broke through the existence of two virtual doors, and the maximum amount of blood and energy he could burst out should be around 30 million calories.

Now I was just injured in my internal organs, but I didn't even spit out blood.

This is obviously holding back.

The old guy must be preparing some killer move, to strike a fatal blow at the critical moment!"

Upon realizing this, Zhang Haoran became furious.

“You son of a bitch, you dare to hold back your strength when fighting me?

Who are you looking down on?"

But no matter how angry he was, it was useless because his energy and blood limit was there, and his cultivation was insufficient, which was a fatal flaw.

Whenever he used his super-fast sword-drawing speed to put the opponent at a disadvantage, Hong Kun would burst out with energy and blood, and the powerful recoil force would force him to slow down his attack speed and he could not fully control the rhythm of the battle.

"If we continue like this, I might suffer a loss. I must find a way to distract Hong Kun's energy, or at least draw out his killer move first."

Hongkun's origin path should be more than 600,000 meters, which can support the opponent's long-term combat. However, in a short period of time, the energy that can be replenished through the avenue is also limited.

This is the opportunity!
Not only can Zhang Haoran replenish his energy through the Origin Dao, he also has a system that can help him restore his qi and blood, making him much faster than the other party in recovering his qi and blood.

"You can't just use swordsmanship. Let me show you my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. You're not the only one who has killer moves ready."

Zhang Haoran immediately adjusted the output of Qi and blood. He used the Qi and blood replenished by the system on swordsmanship and still maintained the advantage of active attack.

All the energy drawn from the Origin Dao is gathered in the left hand.

In fact, there is some difference in the energy provided by the two.

The energy extracted from the Origin Dao can be directly converted into Qi and blood and used immediately in combat.

However, the number that can be drawn each time is limited.

This is why warriors need to accumulate energy when launching a killing move.

There is no limit to the qi and blood replenished through the system, and the replenishment speed is extremely fast. As long as the body can bear it, you can get as much as you want.

However, the system provides passive Qi and blood, which need to circulate in the body and bear one's own life imprint, otherwise it will lead to a decline in one's control over Qi and blood.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

But if you use them separately, there won't be much of a problem.

Zhang Haoran struck Hong Kun with his sword, forcing him to swing his sword to block.

The left hand suddenly pushed out...

"Hoar!"

A loud dragon roar was heard, and a golden light flashed on his left hand, which slapped Hongkun's chest.

"Kanglong has regrets!"

This is the starting move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and also its essence. Each subsequent move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms can increase the attack by 20%.

This attack came very suddenly. Under normal circumstances, it should have caught the opponent off guard. After all, no one would have thought that he could shoot with both hands when he was exerting all his strength.

However, that was against an ordinary enemy. Hong Kun had rich combat experience and seemed to be well prepared. He was not surprised by the palm strike from him.

In fact, the killer move he had prepared was also in his left hand, and he used it at this moment.

Hong Kun stretched his hand forward, and a golden light burst out from his fingertips, instantly piercing through Zhang Haoran's palm...

"Damn! The Emperor of Earth has such a powerful finger technique, why haven't I heard of it before?"

This finger not only dispersed his concentrated palm power, but also counterattacked and pierced through his palm.

A transparent hole appeared on Zhang Haoran's left hand, and drops of golden blood spilled out.

This means that the attack power unleashed by this finger is stronger than the World-Destroying Sword Technique. With such a powerful finger technique, what sword do you still need?
Soon, Zhang Haoran reacted.

In fact, this is not because the opponent's finger technique is so strong, but because his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is not powerful enough!

With the enhancement of sword intent, his attack power can reach the current level. However, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms only doubles the attack amplification, which is one level inferior to the sword technique, which is why he is at a disadvantage.

It is worth it to use a minor injury that is not a big deal to force the opponent to use his killer move.

Zhang Haoran didn't care about the injury on his left hand at all. It was just a bloody hole, right? I can recover in an instant.

However, Hong Kun's killer move needed to be prepared again. A large amount of immortal matter poured out, and the injuries on his left hand and internal organs recovered quickly.

Without hesitation, he delivered another Kanglongyouhui shot.

"I'm betting that my energy and blood recover faster than yours. I've used up my killing moves. Let's see how you can block it this time."

"Stubborn!"

Seeing him slapping again, Hong Kun snorted coldly and pointed out with one finger...

At this time, one can clearly feel that the recoil force from the opponent's sword is not as strong as before.

It seems that part of the energy and blood was transferred to the finger technique, but this is not necessarily the case. The opponent broke the existence of two virtual doors, and it was an old silver coin. Who knows if this is an illusion to confuse people?
Zhang Haoran did not push Hong Kun to his limit. 3000 million cards was just a conservative estimate. It was still unknown how much energy and blood the opponent could burst out.

A warrior who has cultivated to the level of a Heavenly King is indeed very difficult to kill. Without an overwhelming advantage, it is difficult to cause serious damage to the opponent.

But this does not mean that the King of Heaven is truly immortal. If he is injured too many times, the strength of his golden body will decrease, and the upper limit of the qi and blood that can be contained in the body will also be reduced.

Moreover, the consumption of Qi and blood is also a big problem, and the energy provided by the Origin Dao is not infinite.

Once the enemy is seriously injured or his energy consumption cannot keep up with the recovery rate, it is time to kill him!

However, at this time, the king will often choose to escape or keep a distance. As long as he can buy a little time, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Facing Zhang Haoran's palm strike, Hong Kun raised his hand, and another golden light burst out from his fingers, dispersing the palm force again.

However, to Hongkun's surprise, the wound did not pierce his palm this time, but only made the palm bloody.

The power of this palm is 20% higher than before, so it won't be broken so easily.

After all, most of Hongkun's energy and blood were used in swordsmanship.

"Not bad! Hong Kun used his energy and blood to deal with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, so his sword skills are much weaker. Let's continue!"

The recoil force Zhang Haoran felt was weakened a lot, and his confidence increased immediately.

Before his left hand had recovered from the injury, he struck out with the third palm.

Hong Kun was just about to use the same trick again when a golden light flashed on his fingertips and a loud dragon roar came to his ears.

"Hoar!"

An invisible sound wave entered his body, causing his blood to stagnate.

This time, Zhang Haoran no longer used the "Kang Long You Hui" strategy, but instead used the "Shock Bai Li" strategy.

The sound of the dragon's roar contains sonic attacks, which is a different method of attack from qi, blood, and mental power.

Hongkun had never had much contact with this before, and suffered a great loss without being prepared.

Before he could even exert force with his fingers, he was hit on the fingers by a palm.

There was a crisp sound!
The finger was broken by a slap.

Due to the stagnation of Qi and blood, he was at a disadvantage in the swordsmanship competition.

When masters fight, they compete for every move. Once they fall into a disadvantage, it will take a huge price to recover the situation.

Although he succeeded in his attack, Zhang Haoran did not show any joy.

Instead, my heart sank!
"Even if my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms isn't powerful enough, you can't just break one finger!"

“I didn’t expect Hong Kun’s golden body to be so strong, could this guy have forged a jade bone?
very possible!
After all, he is the eldest son of the Emperor of Earth, and his precious vitality is nothing to them.

Moreover, in the battle when Heaven fell, the Emperor of Earth and his family were well prepared and must have stored countless resources in the underground cave.

It won’t be like Tianji, where the jade bone ran out of resources halfway through forging.”

This palm only broke the opponent's fingers but did not break the entire left arm, which already explains a lot of problems.

Hongkun roared angrily and began to fight desperately, trying to save the situation.

Zhang Haoran immediately concentrated his attention to deal with Hongkun's counterattack.

"We will know in a moment whether the other party has forged jade bones!"

Zhang Haoran originally just wanted to use Hongkun to hone his swordsmanship and try to make his sword soul complete its transformation!
Now that I see that there may be greater gains, I suddenly become excited.

That's jade bone!

He had completed the Nine-Forged Golden Body when he was at the eighth level, but has not yet forged the Jade Bones. Not only is it because he lacks high-level vitality, but also because he does not have the corresponding skills.

If I could get a piece of real jade bone, I could learn from it.

“Haha! I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected surprise!
But Hongkun is a very difficult guy! If you want to get the jade bone, you have to cripple him first."

Zhang Haoran swung his sword continuously, trying to suppress the opponent's counterattack completely.

All kinds of shock force and spiral power were used, and various killing moves were used one by one, making the attack more sharp.

With the blessing of the Tyrant Sword, the attack became extremely powerful, carrying the might of heaven and earth to crush it, and at the same time, the force of space from all directions also squeezed in...

The strange sword technique is mysterious and all-pervasive, and can often launch attacks from unexpected angles. It also has very obscure mental forces that invade the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness.

Dugu Nine Swords, one sword can break all the techniques. The attacking sword energy can be chopped into pieces or deflected to the side by one sword, and some of the sword energy will bounce back directly.

He even used the Star-Pointing Sword Technique and the Beheading Sword Technique!
However, they could only suppress Hongkun's counterattack and were unable to further expand their advantage.

"This old guy is really difficult to deal with!"

The main reason is that Hongkun’s blood is too strong!
Every time the two swords clashed, Zhang Haoran's blood circulation would be blocked, his internal organs would be injured, and he would feel like vomiting blood.

As soon as the blood reached his mouth, he swallowed it back because he couldn't show weakness in front of the enemy.

He felt even worse now than before. Just now, Hong Kun was preparing his killing move and did not use all his energy on his swordsmanship.

Now that he had burst out with all his strength, he really couldn't hold on any longer. The flaw of his insufficient cultivation was revealed at this moment.

However, Zhang Haoran did not adopt a guerrilla fighting tactic to relieve the pressure, but still chose to fight head-on. He wanted to suppress the opponent in one breath.

Hong Kun was very observant. He saw the opponent's embarrassment from the sword's strike and sneered, "Haha, people can have pride, but they cannot be arrogant.

If a young person is too proud, he will suffer a great loss.

Temporary gains and losses don’t mean anything. Even if you can suppress me now, you will have to pay a huge price!

Sword Master, you are too arrogant!
Aren't you swordsmen all willing to break rather than bend? Today I will see how long you can hold out."

Maybe in Hongkun's view, Zhang Haoran was just holding on. He would rather be injured than not take the advantage and launch an offensive.

If it were him, he would definitely choose to temporarily avoid the attack and fight with super fast sword speed and superb sword skills, rather than confronting an enemy who is stronger than him.
