High above the sky, Xue Jing split open the armor of the Sky Pirate leader with a single slash and was about to continue the pursuit.
At that moment, the Twin Instinct that had been active all this while issued another warning.
Without any hesitation, a black thin plate materialized in front of him as he kicked off with the back of his foot, retreating swiftly.
Simultaneously, as he retreated, the body of the Sky Pirate leader began to change.
The Amethyst Armor that covered the entire body moved as if alive, rapidly sprouting countless crystal spikes from its surface, each one dozens of meters in length, dense and numerous, resembling a super-giant Amethyst Sea Urchin.
This spike eruption was fierce and fast, with each point sharp beyond compare. Had Xue Jing not retreated quickly, he would have been pierced with innumerable bloody holes by now.
