Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 876 Sword Soul Advancement
Hong Kun did not feel any joy because he was able to withstand the attack of sword energy. Instead, he became even more solemn.

Because a large amount of energy and blood was concentrated in his hands, every time he was hit by the sword energy, it only barely broke through the defense, leaving a shallow sword mark on the fist, and even the effect of the sword technique to cut the heart could not be exerted.

However, the immortal sword intent on the sword mark is extremely troublesome and cannot be removed at all.

This made Hongkun feel vaguely uneasy, and as the number of sword marks on his hands increased, this uneasiness became more and more severe.

Zhang Haoran's attack speed was too fast, and the sword energy was endless, giving him no chance to clear the sword intent. The injuries accumulated bit by bit, and gradually Hong Kun's fists became bloody and covered with sword marks. Wherever the immortal sword intent was, the blood and qi could not cover it, and the defense on his hands was gradually broken.

As a last resort, Hong Kun began to use his arms to block the sword attack, but it didn't last long.

As the number of sword marks on his arms increased, it began to hinder the coagulation of Qi and blood. His fighting skills, which he had already practiced to perfection, became sluggish, which caused him to be more seriously injured, and sword marks began to appear on his body.

Hongkun's face was extremely gloomy. He didn't expect that after losing the divine weapon, the World-Destroying Sword, he couldn't even withstand the sword attack.

In fact, this is very normal. When the two were fighting before, every time Zhang Haoran swung his sword, he had to endure a strong recoil force. With his full strength at most, he could only exert 80%.

Now that I can fully display my sword skills, the power will naturally increase a lot.

Moreover, he is now in a state of being about to be promoted, and the attack power he unleashes is far greater than before.

Hong Kun sensed that Zhang Haoran's aura was constantly rising, and his spirit, energy and spirit were tending to merge into one. It seemed that some kind of transformation was going on, and his sword energy was becoming more and more fierce.

This made him feel cold in his heart and he had a bad premonition.

"This can't go on like this!"

"With such passive defense, I will be defeated sooner or later!

Moreover, it seems that Sword Master is getting better and better. If he continues like this, he might break through again. His current swordsmanship is already very difficult to handle. If he breaks through again, I’m afraid I won’t even have a chance to escape!"

Hongkun knew that this would not work if he continued and he had to find a way to fight back.

Moreover, this counterattack must be fierce enough, and it would be best if it could cause the opponent to pause for a moment, so that you have a chance to escape.

As for whether it would interrupt the opponent's breakthrough and thus create a mortal enemy, Hongkun couldn't care less.

Anyway, the two sides are already fighting to the death, so he doesn't care about a little more hatred.

After making a plan in his mind, Hong Kun began to defend with all his strength regardless of the cost. A large amount of immortal matter gathered in his arms, making both arms emit a dark golden light.

He observed Zhang Haoran's every move intently, silently waiting for the opportunity to come.

After a few minutes, when the opponent's momentum was about to reach a peak, he made his move!
"It's now!"

Hongkun suddenly shouted loudly.

"Doomsday Fist!"

"Boom!"

Two arms covered with sword marks suddenly broke off at the shoulders and were launched out like cannonballs. All his blood and energy, as well as a small portion of his mental power, were infused into these two arms, emitting an extremely terrifying aura that was quite unstable and seemed like it would explode at any time.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

All the sword beams that were coming towards him were shaken away by the blood and energy that burst out from the two arms. The arms turned into two streams of light and attacked Zhang Haoran's head and the right arm holding the sword at an extremely fast speed.

"Use his way and give back to him."

Although Hongkun didn't know there was such a saying, this was what he thought in his mind.

He is the eldest prince of the Earth Palace and a veteran who has broken through the eighth level. How could he let others take advantage of him? He wants to take back everything he has lost.

Hongkun still holds a grudge. Since his own weapon is lost, he will steal the opponent's weapon.

If neither side uses weapons, Zhang Haoran may not be his opponent.

Hong Kun had long realized that the Blood Shadow Sword was different from ordinary artifacts and did not have much spirituality. In other words, as long as one could get hold of it and erase the opponent's mental imprint, anyone could use it without worrying about being counterattacked by the artifact.

Hongkun also took a fancy to Zhang Haoran’s storage ring, perhaps his own belongings and the divine artifact, the World-Destroying Sword, were also inside.

If this is true, not only can all losses be recovered, but a huge profit can also be made.

A space ring that can hold storage equipment is definitely not an ordinary item, it might even be a magical artifact.

In fact, it was just an ordinary storage ring, filled with common supplies, that is, some life essences and pills, used to conceal one's tracks.

The real good things are always kept in the storage space provided by the system, because only there are they safest.

Hongkun’s plan doesn’t stop there. These two arms will explode when they get close to each other.

That was a blow that condensed all his energy and blood, and the jade bones in his arms were also detonated. The power was so strong that it was absolutely beyond imagination.

The attack power is even greater than that in his heyday. After all, this is a secret method of self-mutilation. It is the strongest blow delivered at the cost of losing two arms.

In fact, the law of conservation of energy is also very practical in the world of martial arts. What you put in and what you gain are always equivalent. The more vitality you consume when forging the jade bone, the more powerful power you can unleash when the jade bone explodes.

This is also the reason why he compressed a large amount of immortal matter into his two arms, just to kill with one blow.

Although Hongkun’s idea is good, it is difficult to realize.

Zhang Haoran's perception was extremely sharp. When he saw the opponent breaking both arms and launching an attack, he sensed a huge crisis. He focused his mind as never before, and two silver rays of light shot out from his eyes, and two illusory sword energies slashed his arms.

The sword marks on the broken arm suddenly burst out with the same silver light.

All the sword intent that had been attached to the arms before completely erupted at this moment. The powerful immortal sword intent forcibly suppressed the mental power attached to the two arms, temporarily cutting off the connection between the arms and Hong Kun.

Zhang Haoran wiped his cold sweat and thought to himself, "I knew you wouldn't just sit there and wait for death, and you dare to play dirty tricks on me!

Fortunately, I was more skilled and was able to suppress it."

Looking at the two arms completely covered in silver light, he was overjoyed.

"Haha, not only did I get two arms made of jade bones, but I also got so much immortal matter. I made a lot of money this time."

Zhang Haoran seldom uses immortal matter to launch attacks because his reserves are insufficient.

The attack power released by the one-element immortal substance is equivalent to five thousand calories of qi and blood.

With every strike that broke the Eight Heavenly Kings, more than 20 million Qi and blood were released, which was equivalent to 4,000 yuan of immortal substances. The little immortal substances he had stored before were simply not enough.

This time, Hongkun helped him replenish his resources.

Zhang Haoran moved his mind, and his two arms disappeared and were put into the storage space.

The storage space provided by the system is really amazing. As long as things can be wrapped by mental power and moved, they can be stored in it.

Otherwise, if these two arms exploded, it would be a real disaster for him, and most importantly, it might interrupt the promotion of the Sword Soul. Seeing that the two arms did not explode but suddenly disappeared, Hong Kun was very surprised.

“It’s fine if you can put away the broken arm and the artifact, after all, the connection has been severed.

Now you can even take away my ultimate move, is this fair?"

You know, those two arms not only contain the spiritual power for guidance, but also contain the energy and blood of his whole body.

I've never heard of anyone being able to store the enemy's killing moves into the storage space.

This completely overturned Hongkun's cognition.

If even my killing moves can be taken away by the opponent, how can I fight in the future?"

In fact, Hongkun's worries are completely unnecessary.

Only tangible things can be taken away. Zhang Haoran relied on the burst of sword intent to temporarily cut off the connection between his arm and Hongkun so that he could put it into the storage space.

Otherwise, why would he bother fighting the enemy? He could just take away all the opponent's attacks.

The two arms did not explode, which completely disrupted Hongkun's plan. Now, not only was he unable to seriously injure the opponent, he didn't even have the chance to escape.

Hong Kun had designed several plans before. If Zhang Haoran was seriously injured, he would snatch his weapon away. If possible, it would be best to kill him.

If you cannot inflict serious damage, then retreat quickly when the enemy is hit by the explosion.

The two sides are very close, and the shock wave can allow him to run farther.

The plan was perfect. If Hong Kun escaped from the coverage of the sword field, Zhang Haoran would not be able to stop him and might really let him run away.

Now that the arm didn't explode at all, all the plans were in vain.

In fact, this was not the worst. The method Zhang Haoran used to suppress the explosion just now made Hong Kun feel cold in his heart.

He saw it very clearly.

The mental power attached to his arms was suppressed for a moment by the sudden outburst of sword intent.

Since the sword intent on the arm can be detonated by the opponent, what about the sword intent on one's body?
Can the other party also detonate at any time?
It must be possible!
This is equivalent to burying a lot of remote-controlled bombs on yourself, which will explode at the critical moment.

"Insidious! Really too insidious. I didn't expect that the Sword Master, who looks like a straightforward person, has so many insidious tricks that he can even use the sword intent on the wound."

In fact, Hongkun thought too much!
Zhang Haoran's control over sword intent is not that exaggerated.

He can indeed detonate the sword intent, but this also has a prerequisite, there must be a certain contact.

For example, he used his mental power to contact the sword intent. The reason why he did not detonate the sword intent in his opponent during the battle was not because he wanted to leave any backup plan, but because he simply could not do it.

Who would let you use your mental power to scan your body? What's the difference between that and directly launching a mental attack?
Only by using a broken arm to attack like Hongkun did before can it be covered by mental power, otherwise it would have been blocked by the opponent's mental power long ago.

Hong Kun certainly didn't know about these restrictions. He just thought that Zhang Haoran was planning to trick him at the critical moment.

He roared loudly, and the blood and energy in his body burst out.

Boom boom boom!
Blood holes exploded on Hongkun's body, and the flesh and blood exploded where the sword marks were left, clearing away all the sword intent.

"Fuck, what's going on? Why did Hongkun suddenly start hurting himself?"

Zhang Haoran looked at Hong Kun's bloody appearance and sneered, "I didn't expect that the eldest prince has such a killer weapon!

sure!
I almost got caught!

I can understand you attacking my head with one arm, but what about the attack on my right arm?
Do you still want to rob me?"

Hong Kun remained silent, and a large amount of immortal matter surged out and began to restore his broken arm. If there was a chance, he would certainly like to get it back.

Unfortunately, he made one wrong move and not only failed to inflict serious damage on his opponent, he also lost both arms. Now he doesn't even have a chance to escape.

Zhang Haoran originally wanted to continue mocking the other party, but mainly because he got two arms made of jade bones, which made him in a good mood.

Talking nonsense for a while will allow Hongkun to recover more. It would be best if he could forge his two new arms into jade bones again.

Now, he felt that Hongkun's arms were like leeks, which he could cut one after another.

Zhang Haoran's face suddenly changed, and then he was ecstatic.

"Holy crap! The transformation is finally happening!"

He no longer had the time to tease Hong Kun and completely shifted his consciousness into his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

As for whether he would be ambushed by Hongkun when he advanced to the next level, that didn't matter. Anyway, he had the immortal power and could not die. As long as he could protect his sea of ​​consciousness and allow the sword soul to complete its transformation, he could retaliate after he advanced to the next level.

Just now when Zhang Haoran burst out with all his strength, due to his high concentration, his spirit, energy and soul reached a new height and merged into one, and his sword soul began to transform.

"Zhengzhengzheng!"

The two great sword spirits in the sea of ​​consciousness continued to tremble, and bursts of crisp sword sounds were heard. Circles of immortal light spread out and swept across the entire sea of ​​consciousness. Mental power, the silver sword, and defensive equipment were all tempered. Even the space of the sea of ​​consciousness expanded under the impact of the sword intent.

This is the benefit given by Sword Soul before advancement.

As the sea of ​​consciousness expanded, deeper potential was tapped, and streams of silver mist poured into the sea of ​​consciousness, which was the developed soul power.

The silver mist rolled in the sea of ​​consciousness for a while, and suddenly pounced on the two sword spirits, completely wrapping them up and continuously seeping into them, providing stronger support for the sword spirits' transformation.

The sword soul vibrates more violently, the mental power continues to be tempered, the sea of ​​consciousness is still expanding, and more soul power pours into the sea of ​​consciousness... Now it has entered a virtuous circle.

Zhang Haoran's consciousness was almost lost in the pleasure of this improvement. Waves of insights surged into his mind. This time, no new knowledge emerged, but he reviewed the previous sword practice process again.

It made his foundation stronger and gave him more control over his own strength. The human sword realm is to control all of one's own strength, and his sword realm also began to improve.

More than that.

He could clearly feel that his own origin path was also constantly extending.

"Zheng!"

A loud sword sound was heard, and the Immortal Sword Soul vibrated violently. Countless silver lights were sprinkled, and the sword soul suddenly grew a lot, from the original five inches and nine to six inches.

Officially promoted to the sixth-level sword soul.

Zhang Haoran also recovered from the feeling of ecstasy, and was very happy to see that the sword spirit had become the sixth level.

"Hahaha! I finally succeeded!"
