Chapter 982: Borrowed Power
As soon as his voice trailed off, E Kuai sprang forward like a bolt of black lightning, appearing in front of Han as if by instantaneous teleportation before reaching out to grab his neck.
However, Han Li seemed to have already anticipated this, and he drew to an abrupt halt, stopping short of E Kuai's hand before darting back toward the lake of blood at a far faster speed than before.
As he drew close to the lake, Han Li reverted back to his human form with E Kuai in hot pursuit, and the latter sneered, "You sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeve!"
In response, Han Li advanced instead of retreating, channeling his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts in conjunction with both his Giant Mountain Ape and Xuanwu bloodlines, and one of his arms abruptly swelled drastically in size.
A layer of coarse golden fur appeared over the arm, but pieces of azure bone armor had appeared over the back of its hand.
Han Li's fist was glowing with radiant starlight as it clashed against E Kuai's fist with an earth-shattering boom, and a burst of excruciating pain instantly speared through Han Li's arm, but he was only forced back a single step, while E Kuai was also forced back a step.
It was quite surprising even to Han Li himself that his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts could combine with his true spirit bloodlines to generate such incredible power, and for the first time, E Kuai was finally beginning to take his opponent seriously.
He took a step forward to arrive before Han Li in a wraith-like fashion, following which a layer of translucent light surfaced over his arm as he threw another punch at Han Li.
The punch appeared to be very light and lacking in power, but it was fast to the extreme.
Han Li was caught slightly off guard by this, and he could only channel his Xuanwu bloodline powers as he raised an arm to shield himself.
However, before the pieces of azure bone armor could even fully materialize on his arm, he was already sent flying by E Kuai's fist.
