Chapter 692: Battle
Their armored suits were tight fighting and made of quilted dark purple cloth. Each suit of armor carried identical symbols embroidered with black thread, giving a second layer of subtle detail on top of the quilted surface of the armor. With the fight beginning in earnest, they released their power and called up a second suit of armor. A dense purple layer of energy appeared around them, sheathing them from head to toe. This layer of energy was faintly detailed with overlapping scales, and their helmets took the shape of various serpents with the majority having a cobra-like hood, but there were some that seemed dragon-like, and a few even had a lizard or crocodilian look to them. Their hands were just as varied, some had a pair of snake heads, some had long claws, and others just had thin gloves of energy.
These fighters were all from the Purple Mist Sect and they used the Golden Poison Body, a simplified version of the Golden Mantis Body technique. The main difficulty of the Golden Mantis Body was training the body to release Qi from every inch of the skin. Seething Purple Cobras could naturally release a poisonous mist from the pores of their body, so Sage felt it was a perfect fit. The modified version wasnt quite as powerful, but with their natural poison Qi, the Golden Poison Body took on a purple color.
Then the black symbols on their armor suddenly lit up in sequence, following a rapid pattern and mixing with the Qi they were releasing. Purple mist was released from their bodies, spreading over a wide area and immediately causing the lower ranked fighters to falter. The armor of the Purple Mist Sect was Formation Armor, just like Sages prior forces. Hed further refined the design to fit the needs of the Purple Mist Sect and it had only two formations. The first was the one used by those of the Inner World: Shifting Swarm Formation. It was purely a method for wearers of the armor to join their power together for attack or defense. Ruanfu had trained those fighters for decades, but the Purple Mist Sect members were all Seething Purple Cobras. They all were far more alike than most cultivators were, so training their group fighting capabilities was far easier. The second formation was the one they were using now, an extremely simple formation created to disperse their poison Qi over a wide area. Instead of a nearly skin-tight layer of poison, they could now cover a wide area with a cloud of poison mist.
While half of the Purple Mist Sect members were poisoning the lower ranked cultivators, the others facing off against the top echelon of the Alliance were starting to use the other formation.
The staccato clanging of metal clashing with metal at a rapid pace filled a portion of the battlefield. The Sound Sword Sect Masters vibrating sword clashed with the thick saber blade of one of the Purple Mist Sect members. The saber blade was coated with venom and reinforced with a venom law powered by three people. The Sect Masters vibrating sword was disrupted just enough by this mass of energy that it was unable to chop clean through the saber. Instead, each clash caused small cracks and fractures to start appearing upon the thick saber.
The fundamental difference between a sword and saber was the difference between one and two edges. When a sword and saber were of equal size, the saber would either be tougher or cut better. With only one edge, the cutting edge could afford to be less steep while still retaining the strength of the sword. A sword had to taper towards both edges, which created a steeper profile. It was also made worse by the fact that in this case the Sound Sword Sect Masters sword was quite small and light, while the Purple Mist Sect members saber was large and thick.
As the master of a Sword Sect, his swordplay was without doubt, exceptional. The blade flashed back and forth, feinting, changing directions and attacking from unusual angles. It also carried that strange vibrational force that if it didnt outright slash clean through an enemys weapon it delivered immense damage with every attack. With a larger and heavier weapon, the Purple Mist Sect member wasnt able to keep up with the Sound Sword Sect Masters speed. At least not enough to stay on the offensive. Even with a slower weapon, it was far easier to move a weapon to defend than to attack. Especially when the strength of three people was flowing through into one man.
It was during one of these violent clashing of weapons that the Sound Sword Sect Master suddenly felt a flash of danger. His sword pressed hard against the enemys saber and he pushed himself backward, spinning in mid-air to catch an incoming flash of light upon the flat of his blade redirecting it away from himself. Then his twirled and the edge of his sword caught another flash of light, cleaving it into two pieces. He arched his back, avoiding the two stray shards and also dodging the third projectile coming from another direction. He rolled his shoulder and brought the pommel of his sword down upon the fourth projectile and then used his free hand to slap away the fifth, ignoring the burning pain on his palm.
The Sound Sword Sect Master truly showcased his skill, avoiding and deflecting ten of the crystalline projectiles before one of them ripped a hole through his calf and the last buried itself into his thigh. Then he had to face the Purple Mist Sect members saber, who used this opportunity to finally go on the offensive.
