Chapter 670: Unforeseen Circumstances
The only reason that tree could withstand the strike of the archer was that Sages Qi was empowering the Sacred Banyan to continually grow and reinforce around it. Many layers of hardening vines were shattered apart and Sage immediately realized he couldnt sustain this layer of defense continually. Those arrows were just too powerful. He made a quick decision and poured most of his Qi into the tree in front of him and then dashed to the side. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.
His motion put him back into the line of fire of the archer, but he already knew which direction the enemy was in and he had his foresight to show him when the next attack would come. The Golden Mantis Body wasnt just like a suit or armor, nor was it only able to shape itself into a weapon, it also served the purpose of enhancing his bodys strength and speed. The motion of Qi within the body allowed a cultivator to exhibit greater physical ability than a normal person. A Qi Cultivators body was strengthened with each rank they gained, but most of their strength came from their Qi. The Golden Mantis Body was actually something of a perfected version of the techniques that rank 2 cultivators would use. Upon reaching the second rank, a cultivators gaseous Qi was condensed into a liquid state, and they could then push that Qi outside of their body. If that Qi lost contact with the body the cultivator would lose it completely, so there were many whip, polearm, and tail-like abilities to enable long-ranged combat. The Golden Mantis Body had almost reached the pinnacle of what a technique of its kind could do, but it was also very difficult to practice.
For Sage, this complex, but also very low level technique became an invaluable tool. With his energy compressed to a high degree and maintained on the outside of his body, it could boost his strength and also added a defensive layer. Due to how well contained the energy was, it didnt cost him greatly to maintain it, and he really only expended Qi to repair it from damage and to boost his strength. In fact, the way the Golden Mantis Body boosted his strength was actually a sort of sacrificial enhancement. To increase his strength the area around a joint destroyed itself.
None of the canopies or boughs were removed so they didnt create a perfect stack of logs. Instead, they were at varying angles and providing very uneven amounts of protection. They served more to obscure the enemy's vision and also give him plenty of obstacles to slow the arrows down as they approached.
At this moment, Sage suddenly dove onto the ground, plastering himself to the forest floor while a truck sized beetle appeared on top of him. There was a loud boom and the dark red bug was blasted apart, spraying chunks of chitin along with its gooey insides over the area. The arrow landed on the ground next to Sage and it blew a three foot wide crater into the ground. The exploding debris from the bug and the detonating ground clattered against his golden aura and shattered half of it away.
Sage was just thinking hed bought himself a few moments and he stopped to look down at his right arm. Half of his bicep and tricep had been cleanly cleaved off, like a perfect hole had been burned through his body. Thankfully, it hadnt reached the bone so his arm was still attached, instead it was just a grisly cleaving of the flesh. He was glancing down quickly and then looking back into the distance, like a driver nervously checking the rear view mirror. That was when he saw the arrow coming from above and he dove down. The archer had arced his arrow over the haphazard wall of trees, that or he was already in the upper boughs of the trees and firing at a downward angle.
Sage coughed up a mouthful of blood.
