Chapter 389 - 389 Sky Cleavers
When Shen Fei heard this, he nodded in agreement. He and Xiao Teng had to settle this. He also wanted to test his current combat strength and see what level he was at.
Xiao Teng communicated with his spirit beast, and a bear-like spirit beast jumped out from behind him. The Brown Bear was at least three meters tall, with grayish-brown fur and long and slender limbs. The wings on its back had sharp feathers that glinted coldly. A fierce light flashed in the Brown Bear’s eyes.
Xiao Teng immediately gave the Brown Bear an order, “Devour him!”
!!
The Brown Bear let out a roar, and it quickly pounced on Shen Fei, brandishing its sharp claws and fangs. As for Shen Fei, he stayed where he was. There was no fear in his eyes.
As the Brown Bear got closer, an extremely overbearing aura suddenly erupted from Shen Fei’s body.
“Emperor Bone Sword.”
After Shen Fei spat out these words, he gripped the summoned Emperor Bone Sword between his fingers. After the entire sword rushed out of its sheath, it instantly expanded to more than two meters long. The power of the emperor contained in the Emperor Bone Sword was very powerful. After Shen Fei activated the power of the sword, a terrifying aura fluctuation erupted from it.
When Xiao Teng and the spectators sensed the aura of the sword, they could not help but tremble. Some of them had fear on their faces.
As Shen Fei swung the Emperor Bone Sword in his hand, the terrifying sword Qi instantly enveloped the Brown Bear. When it felt the Emperor Bone Sword’s Qi enveloping it, all the blood in the bear’s body seemed to stop flowing.
The surrounding students saw this and began discussing.
“The heck! Shen Fei can block the opponent’s attack even without a spirit beast.”
“Shen Fei’s combat experience is too rich.”
Xiao Teng’s pupils shrank when he saw this, and his figure quickly retreated. At this moment, Shen Fei had no intention of holding back. He poured all the mystic Qi in his spiritual core into the Emperor Bone Sword. Then, Shen Fei swung his arm and the Emperor Bone Sword lashed out at the fleeing Xiao Teng.
The regal aura condensed on the Emperor Bone Sword exploded instantly, forming hundreds of tiny golden sword lights that burst out all at once. While Xiao Teng was preoccupied with dodging the hundreds of golden sword rays from the Emperor Bone Sword, the sword was already in front of him.
“Brown Bear, use your strongest defensive move!” Xiao Teng roared at the Brown Bear on his shoulder when he saw the oncoming Emperor Bone Sword.
After the Brown Bear heard Xiao Teng’s words, it exhaled a breath of air from its nose. The muscles in its entire body swelled up, bulging out like rocks. A thick earthen yellow defensive layer then appeared on the Brown Bear’s body.
Shen Fei waved the Emperor Bone Sword and lashed out. With a loud swoosh, the defensive layer instantly collapsed. Moreover, the Emperor Bone Sword’s remaining power did not decrease as it struck the Brown Bear’s chest.
With a loud bang, the Brown Bear was sent flying back by Shen Fei’s sword. Xiao Teng roared in fury at this. After hearing its master’s angry roar, the Brown Bear stabilized its body, and its injuries healed rapidly.
Xiao Teng’s eyes were filled with a crazed desire to fight. He knew that he could not waste any opportunity.
As the Brown Bear’s injuries recovered completely, Xiao Teng took out a pair of special shoes and put them on. There was a rune-inscribed black layer on the shoes.
After he put on the shoes, he looked straight at Shen Fei and said, “Brat, you should be proud to die under the power of my special shoes. These shoes are called Sky Cleavers. They were personally forged by a blacksmith in Xuanwu City.
“The runes inside this pair of shoes is a fifth-tier inscription pattern called the Sky Cleaving Formation. They can absorb an enemy’s attack power, attack speed, defense power, rebound power, and so on. In short, the Sky Cleavers can negate 90% of the enemy’s attack power. The remaining 10% will be deflected back to the attacker.
“I’ve only just activated the defensive power of this treasure. Now, I’m going to use these shoes to deal with you.” With that, Xiao Teng’s figure flashed and he charged straight for Shen Fei.
At this moment, Shen Fei did not look the slightest bit worried by this. When he was performing the sword formation earlier, some information from the system suddenly appeared in his mind. It was about how to use the Emperor Bone Sword.
There were two ways to use the Emperor Bone Sword: The first method was to use the sword’s imperial might and sword Qi in tandem as the wielder executed sword techniques. This would be like wielding two different swords in one hand. The second method was to suffuse the sword with imperial might and sword Qi simultaneously, resulting in a highly lethal sword with near-unavoidable attacks, but the sword’s attack power would be halved.
Moreover, every time he used the Emperor Bone Sword’s imperial might and sword Qi at the same time like that, he would need to expend a lot of mental energy. So logically speaking, the wielder would rather choose the first option than the second option.
However, if someone could find the second part of the Emperor Bone Sword, they would be able to complete the sword and null the penalties.
The system had granted Shen Fei an “inheritance” to use the Emperor Bone Sword. This inheritance gave him complete mastery of the Emperor Bone Sword. After he received it, he also gained a memory of one of the Emperor Bone Sword’s moves: the Emperor Sword Technique.
The original Shen Fei had tried to cultivate this sword art before, but had failed in the end. The transmigrator Shen Fei, however, could make improvements on the Emperor Sword Technique on the fly.
He then merged the mnemonic chant of the modified version of the Emperor Sword Technique into the Emperor Bone Sword, which evolved the skill from Emperor Sword Technique to Emperor Bone Sword Technique.
Although Shen Fei had cultivated this Emperor Sword Technique, he had not comprehended the true essence of it. This sword art could only increase the power added to the sword Qi. Moreover, Shen Fei had yet to truly grasp the mysteries of the Emperor Sword Technique.
When he used the Emperor Bone Sword, he only imitated the Emperor Sword Technique’s movements.
This would be the first time he tried to use the Emperor Bone Sword Technique. He was not very familiar with it, so he was limited in the techniques he could employ. Moreover, his cultivation was still too low for it, so he could only use three maneuvers of the Emperor Bone Sword Technique.
