Chapter 70: Golden Armor of Indestructibility · Triple Kill
Chapter 70: Golden Armor of Indestructibility · Triple Kill
Zhang junior brother was caught completely off guard, frozen in place.
But Xiao Chen reacted instantly. He flicked his wrist, sending a shield soaring forward, while a golden armor materialized across his body, fully enveloping him in a flash.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
The Ice Arrows and Wind Blades shattered against the golden armor.
Lightning Currents and Wooden Vines were also blocked by the armor’s timely emergence, unable to advance another inch.
Not only did Xiao Chen effortlessly intercept the entire assault, but the Plains Shield he’d deployed also shielded Zhang junior brother from the brunt of the attack.
As a result, though Zhang was ensnared by the Wooden Vines, he only suffered a minor wound from a glancing Wind Blade—nothing serious.
The Tian brothers stepped forward as one.
Tian Laoda, the eldest, clapped his hands. “Impressive. You’ve got some skill after all.”
Ambushes weren’t uncommon—Xiao Chen had been robbed before.
Still, curiosity flickered in his voice. “Why don’t you wear masks? Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from the Lihuo Sect?”
Tian Laoda faltered mid-sentence. Seriously? You’re asking this now?
Tian Laosan sneered. “Dead men don’t talk. We never leave witnesses.”
Zhang junior brother’s face paled. “You’re planning to kill us all!”
He pointed at Tian Laoda, voice shaking. “You lied! You bastards never intended to give me the antidote!”
Fury surged as he tried to channel mana to break free, only to cough up a mouthful of black blood.
Xiao Chen’s gaze landed on the familiar toxic blood. Memories of Li Sibao’s unprovoked attack flashed through his mind.
Interesting. A bonus discovery.
His eyes gleamed. He’d hold back slightly—capture one alive for interrogation.
He needed answers: what toxin this was, and why they targeted him.
Zhang struggled, shouting, “Senior Brother Xiao, save me! We’re fellow disciples! I was tricked too!”
Xiao Chen turned, expression cold. “Suddenly remember we’re ‘fellow disciples’ now?”
He withdrew the Plains Shield, shaking his head. “This poison’s incurable. Rest in peace.”
A low hum resonated. Sudden icy winds howled as faint Lightning Currents outlined a massive circle—a downward-pointing triangle at its center.
The Qimen Sancai Formation, practiced by the Tian brothers.
Tian Laodi laughed. “Typical Lihuo Sect fool. We’re waiting for the formation to activate. What are you waiting for?”
Tian Laoda barked, “Enough talk. Attack!”
“Boom!”
The trio channeled the formation, unleashing a lightning bolt as thick as a barrel.
The Plains Shield shattered under the strike, its spiritual light scattering as it crashed to the ground, useless.
The Tian brothers’ lips curled into smirks.
Their Qimen Sancai Formation wielded ice, wind, and lightning, with the latter being most devastating.
Nine layers of lightning simulated the legendary Nine Heavenly Tribulations—no Foundation Building cultivator could withstand such fury.
“Boom!”
Another bolt roared down. Xiao Chen chanted the Earth Shield Technique, conjuring a barrier midair.
“Crack!”
The shield shattered, but it had bought him a sliver of time.
“What?!” Tian Laosan’s eyes bulged.
Just an Earth Shield? How?
Tian Laoda’s gut tightened. Their formation’s power was undeniable, yet Xiao Chen’s magic arts were unexpectedly formidable.
“Hurry! Don’t let him cast another shield!”
Mana surged from the trio, intensifying the formation’s electric glow.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Three more bolts rained.
The first met an earth shield; the next two struck Xiao Chen’s golden armor before a new shield could form.
He felt the armor’s resilience wane—another ninety-eight strikes, and it’ll shatter.
The Tian brothers gaped.
Five lightning layers had failed to breach his protective arts, let alone the defensive magic robe beneath.
“Keep going!” Tian Laoda roared.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Three more strikes.
This time, Xiao Chen didn’t block. Instead, he channeled nine mana threads into the ground, preparing to trap their escape routes.
Predictably, the sixth, seventh, and eighth lightning layers crumbled against the golden armor.
Tian Laodi stared at the undamaged armor, panic rising. “Big Brother, he’s got a secret treasure!”
Tian Laoda hurled a spirit stone into the formation. “Keep attacking!”
With the stone’s boost, they barely triggered the ninth layer.
A colossal bolt, its power equaling the previous eight combined, descended.
Xiao Chen calculated—nine more strikes like this, and the armor’s done.
But the Tian brothers’ formation cracked first.
Their mastery of the ninth layer was incomplete. Overexertion caused the Lightning Array to collapse violently.
Tian Laodi urged retreat. “He’s protected by a senior’s treasure. Let’s go—Lihuo’s Foundation Building cultivators might be coming!”
Tian Laoda inhaled sharply. “No. Our foster father said, ‘Ensure absolute success.’”
Tian Laodi shuddered.
Tian Laosan slashed his palm, spilling Vital Blood—cultivators’ most potent essence, coveted by demons.
Their faces paled, vitality draining. Repeated Vital Blood loss would cripple their future breakthroughs.
Guided by Tian Laoda’s forbidden art, the blood coalesced into a demon head—fangs bared, aura matching a Foundation Building cultivator.
Tian Laodi and Laosan shielded Laoda, buying time for the technique.
Xiao Chen sighed.
No more holding back.
“Green Thorn Technique!”
The nine mana threads beneath erupted. Thorned brambles pinned the trio, their artifacts and armor immobilizing them in place.
“Xuanyang Bing Fire!”
A hundred Xuan Fire Ravens formed a blazing formation.
With practice, targeting stationary foes now took but a breath.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
To be safe, he triggered the formation repeatedly.
A hundred feet around became an inferno.
The Tian brothers burned to ash, then to dust. The demon head twisted, dissipating.
“Hope their storage bags survived.”
Xiao Chen retrieved the Green Gourd, summoning the Green Wood Spirit General. He coated it in the Golden Light Technique, then sent it charging through the flames to salvage the three bags.
Thank you to “Daozhang” for the generous support.
