BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109: Golden Body (1)
In the narrow fissure of his visor, two ghastly red flames were burning with indescribable menace.
The ground trembled with each step it took as the heavy sword made a fissure on the ground. It radiated a menacing aura which made all the Spiritual Creatures cower in fear.
This was the Black Knight, a Tier 6 Spritual Creature. A being that could do mass slaughter in all the Qing Empire and there would be no one to stop it. And even if they managed to bring it down, they would suffer heavy casualties and many top experts would fall.
That was the might of one single Black Knight.
Shen Yu looked at the black figure of armour and wondered how it got here. From what Shen Yu, the Black Knights were beings that guarded the underground of Hollow Mountains and they could reach upto Tier 9 in strength.
That\'s why they were a formidable force that could decimate even the top sects of the outside world. Fortunately, most of the time the Black Knights only remained in the underground of the Hollow Mountains, guarding something.
\'Then why did one of such beings decided to come here, in this weak land?\'
Shen Yu wondered. If it was a human or intelligent being, he could have searched its soul but Black Knights were artificially created monsters, not even a proper Spiritual Creature.
\'Aghh! Whatever, I\'ll check on it later.\'
Shen Yu raised his hand to deal with the Black Knight but Ning Xi stopped him. He looked at her with question marks in his eyes as she answered.
"I wanna fight it."
Ning Xi grinned, her blood boiling just by looking at the Black Knight. Her fighting spirit was roaring to fight but she has suppressed it before.
"Normally, I wouldn\'t dare because such a fight will only end up with me dead. However, now you are here so I have no worries."
Shen Yu titled his head slightly, wondering if something was wrong in her head but after living with her for so long, he knew her personality very well.
"Hmm, sure. I\'ll keep an eye."
He didn\'t mind it as he was there if something happened. Even if the Black Knight was stronger, far stronger actually, than Ning Xi, he was sure she could have a fight and if something happened he would save her.
Ning Xi kissed Shen Yu in excitement and then separated from him. She took a deep breath and focused on the Black Knight, who as if sensing her gaze looked above. It was a wide known that strong spiritual Creatures could detect if someone was seeing them.
That\'s why Ning Xi had not directly looked at Black Knight before, only seeing it from the periphery of her vision. But now she didn\'t care. She had the best protection and could go all out without worrying about anything.
Shen Yu smiled and spread his senses all around, covering a vast area that enveloped the possible battle location of Ning Xi and the Black Knight along with the designated zone. He could sense every small details, every movement in that area and could do anything.
Giving Ning Xi a encouraging smile, he flew up and sat mid-air, taking out a bucket of popcorn, ready to see the battle.
Ning Xi cracked her fingers and looked right into the deathly flames of the Black Knight which were burning in its eye sockets, or atleast that\'s what she presumed since she had never really met such a being.
"Time to have a dance."
Ning Xi grinned and coated her whole body in her dense Qi which made her skin glow in bright red colour as her hairs danced in the winds turning yellow from red.
She disappeared from her position, leaving a sonic boom behind as she appeared next on top of the Black Knight, punching into his shoulders.
The Black Knight was fast, so fast that Ning Xi was barely able to follow its movement. She saw how it drew its heavy sword and slashed upwards, but it happened in such a spead that it reached Ning Xi before her punch landed on it.
Although it took so much time to describe, it happened in a blink of second. The sword was already coming at Ning Xi and she was sure it would land first, so she changed her plans as twisted to the sides and actually used the incoming sword as a base to jump and get some distance between them.
"Agh!"
She felt her bones crackling under the sword\'s impact and launched herself into the air. She crossed a few trees and landed on a rock, but she didn\'t get the time to properly stand as a heavy Obsidian sword was already upon her, intending to cleave her in half.
\'This fucker is too fast, despite how heavy it looks. And how is he weilding that heavy sword so easily?\'
Ning Xi wondered as she dodged the sword attack and again made some distance but the Black Knight followed her closely with its insane speed and didn\'t give her the time to think properly.
Ning Xi was constantly Dodging and deflecting the attacks but even that was proving hard as she could barely see the attack pattern. She was also slowly accumulating injuries all over her body, but that didn\'t really hinder her movements as she was used to them.
She practically tried while being half dead, after all.
However, she needed to do something about the Black Knight. It was fast, resilient and even the armour it wore was too thick. Ning Xi had only landed one punch in all fight and even then it didn\'t do anything.
\'The only saving grace is that this fucker doesn\'t have any abilities. It solely relies on its strange swordsmanship and its high physical prowess. But that is the issue. It\'s too much.
It\'s as if this guy was created solely for slaughter!\'
Ning Xi thought, doing a black flip as she avoided a side cleave of heavy sword which destroyed many trees upon its impact.
\'So, what do I do? At this rate, I\'ll be dead sooner or later. I can\'t see his swordsmanship and neither can I predict its attacks. And if even a single attack landed seriously, I\'ll be a dead meat paste.\'
Ning Xi clicked her tongue, as the sword brushed past her arm, peeling her skin like an onion. This was the might of Black Knight.
\'Alright! Time to go all out!\'
Ning Xi had spent most of her time outside, preparing the Annual Sect Tournaments so she didn\'t get to train with Shen Yu, however she did receive something from him which she had been working on.
She closed her eyes and began dodging on instincts but that only made her body more hurt. As she was on the verge of using her new techniques, a heavy blow landed on her stomach, making her cough blood and throwing away hundreds of metres away.
She collided with many trees which got destroyed upon the impact and only came to stop after getting carved in a small hill. She coughed up even more blood as she gritted her teeth, blood oozing out from various parts of her body.
One attack.
That was all the Black Knight needed to actually destroy the body of someone sitting at Peak of Core Formation Realm and who specialised in body strengthening.
Ning Xi could feel that her ribs had broken in many parts and every organ of hers was damaged from inside. Every cell of her body was suffering from that one attack.
She gritted her teeth and opened her eyes, only to see a redden vision due to blood filing her eyes. She thought, as pain assaulted her from everywhere.
\'So this is a Tier 6, huh. No doubt about it. There is no way a Tier 5 can have this much power.\'
Even in such situation, Ning Xi had a cold head and could think rationally. She sighed and staggered forward, still looking at the Black Knight who was slowly making its way towards her, dragging its heavy sword.
A grin appeared on her face, as she stumbled forward, making her mind get assaulted by the pain every part of her body was experiencing. Still, a madness danced in her eyes as she shouted.
"Heavenly Restrictions: Second Gate of Golden Body!!"
A vast aura erupted from her, making a tall yellow pillar that rose high up enough to touch the clouds. The yellow pillar enveloped Ning Xi, healing her body to her prime and making it even stronger.
Her muscles bulged slightly as they filled with immense strength never seen before. Ning Xi grinned devilishly and said.
"Time for round 2!"
