“This is my son-in-law from the He family, the fiancé of my granddaughter, Zheng Yuyan,” proclaimed Zheng Changtian loudly from the rear of the Zheng family.
Hearing his words, Zheng Yuyan’s face turned even redder.
Although He Yangsun’s surname was not Zheng, he clearly belonged to the Zheng family.
Cao Jun turned around and saw the head of his own family nodding. He smiled and raised the long saber in his hand. In an instant, he was dressed in a suit of battle armor.
The black armor concealed his figure, and the saber in his hand emitted a faint green light.
Turning his head, he cast a cold smile at Zheng Yuyan amidst the Zheng family’s ranks. His face was hidden beneath the battle armor.
Just you wait, I’ll make you cry later!
Cao Jun’s voice and his figure surged forward simultaneously.
His speed was so fast that only a residual shadow remained.
Such speed had already surpassed that of a first-level Armor Master of the same rank.
Among the Zheng family’s ranks, the first-level Armor Masters all turned pale.
If they were to face him themselves, they probably wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single blow, would they?
Nervously clenching her fists, Zheng Yuyan looked at He Yangsun, who was seated atop a double-horned warhorse.
Could He Yangsun withstand this strike?
Meanwhile, from the rear, Han Muye calmly observed Cao Jun from the Cao family making his move.
His Battle Armor was power-oriented, yet he managed to employ such speed. This wasn’t just about talent; it also involved skillful manipulation.
Indeed, such methods were impressive to someone of the same rank.
Moreover, this extraordinary battle armor, perfectly suited to his strength, allowed him to overwhelm opponents of the same level with ease.
But was He Yangsun of the same rank?
With the training of the God-Slaying Battle Puppet, along with the Battle Puppet and Battle Armor he had crafted, could He Yangsun’s combat power resist that of a first-level master?
It was unlikely even for a second-level master!
Ahead, He Yangsun sat calmly on his warhorse, his battle armor materializing. Only his palms and arms were encased in silver, while the rest of his body appeared ethereal.
This was to conserve the energy of the Battle Armor.
It was a sign of disdain for the opponent, as well as confidence in his own strength.
There was no need for the Battle Armor to cover the entire body. As long as the sword in hand could harness the power of the Battle Armor, it was sufficient.
Similar to those those cultivators who had yet to become Puppet Masters or Armor Masters, among them were those with exceptional talent who could contend with Puppet Masters and Armor Masters of the same level.
Such individuals were rare in the world.
“Clang—
The clash of two long sabers echoed as Cao Jun let out a long laugh.
His Battle Armor was was power-oriented, allowing him to shatter a hundred-foot-tall mountain rock with a single slash.
How could the other party seated on a warhorse possibly withstand such a strike?
“Buzz!”
He Yangsun’s long saber vibrated continuously as it slowly retracted.
With each inch it retracted, the brilliance of the saber intensified.
His arm remained steady as he guided the opponent’s saber to retreat slowly.
One foot.
Two feet.
The saber stopped a foot away from him.
The force of Cao Jun’s strike completely dissipated, leaving nothing behind.
Such a defensive technique caused everyone watching to brighten up.
Regardless of being a Puppet Master or Armor Master, while having formidable combat prowess was advantageous, possessing strong defense was rare.
Only with strong defense could one survive for long.
In the world of cultivation, battles were often like gambling.
Having only offensive capabilities without adequate defense would lead to certain death.
“Buzz!”
Cao Jun drew his saber back, only to find that it was caught by He Yangsun’s blade and could not be pulled back at all.
A trace of shock appeared in his eyes, but in the next moment, his empty left hand slapped down.
In his palm, a ball of green light exploded and turned into a roaring green wolf that devoured He Yangsun.
How could he block such a sudden attack at such a close distance?
Cries of surprise came from the surroundings.
Only Han Muye’s expression was calm.
He Yangsun’s armor and Battle Puppet were equipped with dual sabers.
When the God-Slaying Battle Puppet was training him, it was also a battle of two sabers.
“Clang—
A long saber slashed out from the left.
The long saber struck Cao Jun’s palm, colliding with the black armor and iron palm.
Cao Jun trembled and retreated uncontrollably.
His right hand loosened, and his long saber was snatched away by the other party.
In just two rounds, the long saber landed in the other party’s hand!
Cao Jun gritted his teeth when he saw He Yangsun throw his long saber to the side. His eyes behind the armor were filled with killing intent.
“Ho—I’
With a roar, he leaped into the air, aiming a punch at He Yangsun’s chest.
For an Armor Master, the absence of a weapon was inconsequential.
Their armor and fists were their best weapons!
On his fist, there gleamed a golden stream of light, intertwining with the original dark green battle armor, making it seem even more formidable.
Without waiting for this punch to land, He Yangsun had already moved, soaring onto the head of his warhorse.
With two sabers in hand, his figure moved slightly and disappeared from his original spot.
Speed.
For him, he already knew the characteristics of his armor and his greatest advantage when facing opponents.
He replaced all other attributes with unparalleled speed.
When his figure disappeared from its original position, it seemed as if there was an additional green shadow in front of those around him.
The shadow was very agile, carrying a hint of silver-white light, and two golden halos of light.”
Those light threads were actually his two sabers.
It was too fast. In the eyes of outsiders, the two sabers had turned into threads.
“So fast!” Someone from the Cao family’s team shouted.
“How could this kid not have been certified as an Armor Master!” Someone said fiercely with a dark expression.
The people from the Zheng family all smiled.
The smile on Zheng Yuyan’s face widened. She sat up slightly, wanting to see more clearly.
Unfortunately, He Yangsun’s speed was too fast. Without the cultivation of a level three Armor Master or above, one could not comprehend it at all..
