Chapter 503 - Martial Earth Armour
Bai Niu who had coated himself in an armour made of rock launched a powerful fist towards Adam's stomach, but it was from a distance that was too far for him to strike Adam. However, to Adam's surprise, his armour extended to close the distance and almost land a strike on him.
The armour that was not only very durable, light and flexible, also had the capability to expand and grow, allowing him to have a much longer reach than his opponent. With that reach, he was planning to make it so that Adam wouldn't have a chance to land an attack on him even with his great speed.
"You see this. I don't like using this as it is very straining on my body, but this is my Martial Earth Armour. Something that I spent many years creating and mastering, and will be what kills you," he announced in a grand manner.
In all honesty, his armour was very impressive and with it, he was definitely much more powerful and more of a force to be reckoned with, but it still wasn't enough to worry Adam. But despite not feeling worried, Adam was curious to see just how much his power would improve with the so-called 'Marital Earth Armour' on, and also wanted to see if he could learn anything from his opponent.
His speed with the armour on had improved slightly, with him appearing to be moving the ground beneath his feet as he launched himself towards Adam, increasing his speed and momentum. Along with that, the armour added a metre to his attack range and allowed him to use his Earth Elemental Affinity through his martial arts.
Slicing his arm at Adam's head, seemingly wanting to chop the side of his head, Bai Niu had a smile on his face as he watched Adam move backwards to avoid the attack. However, as soon as he began to move to avoid his initial attack, the armour around his arm extended in the shape of an axe.
The axe that was attached to his arm and made out of rock was as sharp as any metal axe, and with the speed and force that he was swinging it at, would be able to deal a grave injury to Adam. He narrowly avoided it and as he suddenly ducked, a lot of his tied up hair had been sliced in half.
"I was looking to change my hairstyle and cut my hair anyway, but it seems you've done it for me," he commented as he jumped backwards and prepared to take on Bai Niu's attacks.
Against him, Adam had to take into account that his attacks could extend at any moment, while the extensions of his body could take on any form and overall there were many possibilities to be ready for.
Bai Niu was just as unpredictable as Adam was expecting, and his next attack didn't use the capability to extend his armour or his armour at all. In fact, he attacked to push Adam back, then used a Rock Spike from behind him, hoping to pierce him in the back.
It was very well thought out, and it seemed as though he had many methods of attacking, but with the Step Skip Skill and Adam's rapid reflexes, avoiding such great attacks was easy.
Forming blades, spikes, hammers and many other melee weapons with his armour, it was quite difficult to avoid or block all of his attacks unscathed, while Bai Niu was also skilled in hand to hand combat, making it even harder.
However, Adam was still managing to do so and was impressed by Bai Niu, but it still wasn't enough for him to close the gap in power and skill.
"I am getting bored now. Your Martial Earth Armour is an impressive skill, but I am sure it is one that is very straining and draining. So, it's time to end this," said Adam as his Death Devouring Daggers appeared in his hands.
There was no point in extending their battle any longer and there wasn't much to learn from Bai Niu. The essence of his martial arts had been tainted with his power and Earth Elemental Affinity, while it was also quite apparent what he had focused most of his training on.
Seeing the daggers, and knowing what they were capable of, while also feeling fatigued and sluggish after using the Martial Earth Armour just like Adam said, Bai Niu instantly began his retreat.
He had been ready to retreat at any moment their entire battle and as soon as Adam took out his daggers; he didn't even wait to hear what he had to say, already knowing that he didn't stand a chance against Adam. Previously believing that Adam would be easy to take down after using a lot of energy to Charm his subordinates, Bai Niu realised how wrong he was and regretted making that assumption.
Diving into the ground as it were water, he began to sink into the ground and Adam knew that it would be a hassle to track, locate and finish him off once he got deep underground. Adam hadn't been able to sense him before when he was underground because he hadn't expected to find anyone underground, but also because he was very skilled at concealing himself.
His aura and presence fused with the Earth around him and finding him would be like finding a needle in a haystack if Adam gave him enough time to get deep enough underground.
However, just as he was about to be completely enveloped in the Earth beneath him, he suddenly felt his ankle be grabbed by Adam, and couldn't help but curse his luck.
Going any further underground would be impossible with Adam holding him up, so he quickly jumped up out of the ground with a spike formed of rock, aiming to stab Adam in the neck with it.
But Adam, who was holding his ankle, grabbed his wrist with his other hand and was amused by Bai Niu's desperate attempts at killing him as he glared at him.
"This is over now,"
