Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 362
Chapter 362: Five Layers of Defense
According to Han Yijian and the others, the 10,000-year Stalactite was able to improve cultivation without any side effects. Furthermore, it could purify the body, strengthen the body constitutions, as well as heal any injuries.
Su Mo had no idea how effective it was, so he swallowed all of it except a few drops which he kept for Li Feng.
After entering Su Mo’s body, it turned into a warm current that purified his body and flooded his elixir field.
Streams of black impurities were then excreted by his pores. Although his physical strength did not increase, his body constitutions had improved and became better for cultivation.
Su Mo’s cultivation rose quickly at the same time, from Late Lv 6 True Spirit Realm to Peak Lv 6 in the blink of an eye. It still showed no signs of stopping and loosened his cultivation bottleneck.
Concurrently, attacks from Yuwen Jun and the rest were already right before him.
Su Mo was unable to muster his peak combat force as he was at the crucial moment of breaking through his cultivation. Out of desperation, he could only hastily brandish his sword to form layers after layers of sword curtains around himself.
At the same time, a dense layer of Body-protection Genuine Vitality also shrouded his body.
The next moment, three powerful attacks landed on the sword curtains.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The layers of sword curtains shattered, but the attacks did not lose any momentum and landed on Su Mo’s Body-protection Genuine Vitality.
Poom!
His Body-protection Genuine Vitality only lasted for a split second before collapsing. The attacks then landed squarely on Su Mo’s chest.
Rumble!
Su Mo was sent flying and crashed against the wall behind him. As tough as it was, the wall shattered, sending rubble everywhere.
“Er!”
Su Mo grunted as blood flowed down his lips.
At this instance, his shirt was already reduced to nothingness, revealing a light-grey leather armor.
It was the Medium Lv 3 Skyspirit Armor he had obtained in Ethereal Territory.
If not for the Skyspirit Armor, Su Mo would have sustained critical injuries even with his superior physical defense.
Of course, he would have sustained serious injuries even with the Skyspirit Armor had his body not been so tough.
Nonetheless, tiny cracks had appeared on the armor after absorbing the blow of the three attacks. It had reached its limits.
A Medium Lv 3 armor was after all not good enough against the attacks of high level experts like Yuwen Jun.
“How is he alive?”
The three of them were dumbfounded that their combined attack did not kill Su Mo.
Their attack was enough to kill an average Lv 9 True Spirit Realm martial artist. Yet Su Mo, only at Lv 6, was able to withstand it!
“His physical defense is extremely powerful, way above his cultivation!” Fang Qingyun exclaimed.
“Hmph! He has to die regardless!” Li Hai said coldly.
Yuwen Jun looked the gloomiest of them all.
“I’ll not let him live after he had wasted my 10,000-year Stalactite! Die!” Yuwen Jun yelled angrily and attacked Su Mo again.
In Yuwen Jun’s mind, the 10,000-year Stalactite was his. Now that Su Mo had ‘wasted’ it, his anger was understandable.
“Sky-splitting Ethereal Cut!”
An intense stream of sword Qi went toward Su Mo like a bolt of lightning.
This was Yuwen Jun’s most powerful attack, carrying a power that was out of this world.
Fang Qingyun and Li Hai also followed suit and dealt more powerful attacks than before.
The three attacks surrounded Su Mo, leaving him no choice but to face them head-on.
Meanwhile, Su Mo’s body was buzzing. The effect of 10,000-year Stalactite was extraordinary and brought him to the edge of breaking through to Lv 7. It would take at most a breath.
But, he was clearly out of time.
Su Mo had wanted to use the Small Void-teleport Charm to save himself, but he shot down the idea right away.
The attacks may be powerful, but they were not enough to kill him. He wanted to save the Small Void-teleport Charm for the future.
“Block it, I’ve to block it!”
Su Mo roared internally. As long as he could withstand this wave of attacks, he would be able to break through. By then, not only would he be fine, he could even kill them.
Su Mo’s body suddenly split into four again. However, the three avatars rushed straight at the attacks instead of attacking.
“Burst!”
Su Mo shouted when the three Phantom Avatars were close enough to the three attacks.
At his cue, the three avatars blew themselves up at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The avatars were formed from Su Mo’s Genuine Vitality and infused with his will. He had complete control over them.
The power of the explosion was much stronger than the avatars’ attacks. A destructive air blast swept across the surroundings after the explosion.
The explosion was not enough to completely stop the attacks, but it was able to reduce their power by 20%.
In the blink of an eye, the attacks were before Su Mo.
At this moment, Su Mo had already readied his defense.
First, he exerted his body strength to its maximum. Then, he shrouded his body with a thick layer of Body-protection Genuine Vitality. Next, he deployed layers of sword curtains. In addition, there was a shadow of a black mountain dozens of meters tall covering Su Mo.
The shadow was a Martial Soul from one of the guys that Su Mo devoured earlier on. It was a Mountain Martial Soul that provided excellent defense.
Finally, including the Skyspirit Armor, Su Mo had five layers of defense.
With the Mountain Martial Soul, sword curtain, Body-protection Genuine Vitality, internal armor, and his powerful physical defense, Su Mo was confident that their attacks could not kill him.
In the next moment, the attacks collided with the Mountain Martial Soul.
Pop!
The Mountain Martial Soul lasted for a split second before it popped like a bubble.
The attacks then landed on the sword curtain and caused a series of explosions.
Pom! Pom! Pom!
The layers of sword curtains lasted no longer than the Mountain Martial Soul.
The attacks then destroyed Su Mo’s Body-protection Genuine Vitality and landed on his body heavily.
