When the level three bloodline force exploded from Kevin, his body emitted a green light and a cold aura.
"Heavyset Body! Block!" he roared.
At the same time, Darren's mighty sword intent hit him.
The sharp clash of swords hitting his body echoed in the space. In the next instant, Darren's powerful sword intent inundated Kevin. He felt as if he were in a world of swords, and no matter which direction he turned in, numerous powerful swords were attacking him.
Kevin trembled with fear.
He was scared internally because the sword intent was too powerful and his body couldn't resist the attack even though it had been consolidated with the level three bloodline force.
Blood saturated his robes as the swords left small wounds on his body.
"Resist!"
Kevin shouted. Darren's attack and his inability to defend against it efficiently, left Kevin anxious. Although his strengthened body couldn't completely resist Darren's sword intent, it bought him time to activate more bloodline force. After a few moments, his bloodline force upgraded to level four.
"Clink! Clink! Clink!"
The sound of swords hitting Kevin's stone-like body echoed in the quiet surroundings. After Kevin's bloodline force increased to level four, his body became more solid and blocked Darren's sword intent.
Besides, his strength increased continuously, as well!
"Damn freak!" Kevin couldn't help cursing Darren after he survived the dangerous attack and recovered his composure.
However, Darren had no intention of giving him time to breathe because he knew that Kevin's strength would increase significantly if he used the skill to turn his body into a weapon.
"Cracking Attack!"
"Profound Nine Sword Skills!"
Darren executed his blade and sword simultaneously, which made his attacks more powerful than when he only used the sword intent!
Below the battle platform, the faces of the three chiefs darkened as they had a grim sense of foreboding. Even Landon, the Holy Lord of the Lightning Holy Land, who was sitting in the luxurious chair above the battle platform, was shocked.
"He, indeed, cultivates both blade and sword martial arts."
"Practicing both the blade and sword simultaneously should have killed him. How did he survive? How can he emanate such powerful strength?"
"The young man is unexpectedly powerful. When did such a great talent join the Lotus Holy Land?"
The chiefs of the three Ancient Families marveled simultaneously.
On the battle platform, just when Kevin felt relieved that the pressure from Darren had decreased a little, a stronger attack which combined both the sword intent and blade intent hit him.
"Damn it! You are forcing me to execute my trump card. Level five Heavyset Body!"
Kevin bellowed as his face twisted in pain.
"Oh? He is about to turn his body into a weapon!" Seeing that Kevin had started transforming, Darren dashed forward. He was so quick that the audience could only see a shadow flashing past.
"Wham!"
Just as Darren had reached halfway toward Kevin, a powerful thick black iron whip cracked on Darren's back. The strength of the blow threw him backward in the air.
Blood glistened in the sun as a horrible wound was left on Darren's back!
Opposite him, a cold, black iron chain oscillated in the air, in perfect trajectory.
Kevin had turned himself into the black iron chain, a weapon, when he activated the level five bloodline force.
"Its aura is so threatening!" Darren felt the pain from his injury course through his body as he stared at the swaying black iron chain.
"Ding!"
Before Darren had time to react, the powerful chain unleashed a formidable ancient aura as it flew toward Darren.
Darren summoned his blade and sword at the same time. They shot out like sharp arrows and tackled the black whip.
Loud sounds, like explosions, were heard and the Lotus Battle Ring shook. The shock wave caused by the collision between Darren and the black chain caused cracks to appear in the protective screen between the audience and the fighters.
The sword core in Darren's body circulated crazily as it reached the peak of its power.
He cut the black iron chain with his blade and sword, one after the other, but it seemed that his attacks didn't cause Kevin any severe injuries. On the contrary, it exerted pressure on Darren.
At this stage, Darren pondered whether or not to execute the Blood Dragon Illusion.
But he negated this idea as soon as it flashed across his mind. If he used the Talent Skill now, he would definitely lose the next battle.
'Our strength is evenly matched. If I can be a little more powerful, I'll be able to defeat him!' Darren thought.
"The bronze mask and the armor!" Darren didn't remember that the bronze mask and the armor could increase his strength until this very moment.
Quickly, he used his mental power to summon them. The armor encased his body, and the bronze mask covered his face.
At the moment, a black rune flashed on them and quickly disappeared. Darren felt that his strength had increased by at least 50%.
