Chapter 463: The Battle To Defend the City (II)
Hong Yitang smiled beneath his visor. Whether it was Hou Xiaochen or Kong Jie, both matched him in terms of strength. But... so what? They didn’t dare unseal their power!
In that case, don’t blame me for taking advantage of the situation! I’ve long wanted to take you down a peg or two, Hou Xiaochen. You really think of yourself as a god and schemed after my loot of black armor last time! I was in White Moon City for so many days on my last trip and you didn’t even bother seeing me!
Boom!
The longsword cleaved through the air, one stroke after another like the earth rearing up. Everyone could clearly witness each magnificent brilliance, but no one could block it! Even Hou Xiaochen and Kong Jie could only frown and respectively jab with his spear or punch with his fist. Golden Spear and the others erupted with force.
Tremendous battle strength overawed bystanders on all sides. Whether it was Golden Spear or Manager Yu, the power they brought to bear was so ferocious that even some Novas were shocked.
Most terrifying of all was that all of these people combined could do nothing but steadily retreat in the face of a singular opponent.
Mid Nova Qi Gang, a powerhouse on the Divine Masters Ranking, was armed with an origin weapon and could only hover on the sides. He was forced into continuously backing away, his face flushed and a shocked look in his eyes.
Initial Nova Hu Qingfeng started vomiting blood as the sword descended mercilessly! Initial Novas seemed particularly weak in a battlefield like this. There was only fear in his heart—too strong! Not only was the soldier in front of them strong, but everyone around him was also so much stronger than he imagined. He knew that Hou Xiaochen was powerful, but not that Kong Jie was extremely formidable as well. That punch came with such an aura that Hu Qingfeng felt like he was being ripped into two.
Why were there so many powerhouses among the Silver Moon authorities??
......
As battle raged in one corner of the city, Li Hao struck with his sword. He didn’t look in the direction of the fighting or even think about how strong Hou Xiaochen and the others were, how strong Hong Yitang was at the moment...
The only thought in his mind was to charge and kill! Multiple supernaturals were cut down at the waist when he slashed with his sword.
“It’s that Silver Armor!!” screamed a nearby, horrified supernatural.
Pfft!
Li Hao ran him through, blood spraying everywhere when the young man pulled his sword out. Black Armors charged by his side, gathering together to block supernaturals from converging on their officer. All of them roared soundlessly and fought a bloody battle, centering on Li Hao as the vanguard to pierce through the enemy’s battle lines.
As shouts and screams abounded, several Solars stepped forward on the wandering cultivator side. Not only that, but quite a few Novas stirred to action as well. They ripped through the Black Armors around them and forged their way toward Li Hao!
When Xu Feng saw the Silver Armor, he set course for his new target. The old man behind him furrowed his brows, following his ward. His attention was held elsewhere before he could catch up and he looked off to the side, at where a Black Armor seemed to be looking at him.
“Sir, let’s just watch first,” transmitted the old man as he came to a halt. “Don’t do anything yet!”
“I know!” Xu Feng answered absentmindedly and continued pushing his way toward Li Hao.
The old man looked at the Black Armor and sighed softly. “What do you want?” he transmitted.
This was a death risk!
“Go on, have your fight. I’ll step in if you really can’t take it!”
Li Hao took a deep breath and clenched his teeth, still cursing up a storm. He put everything out of his mind. Fine! I’ll do it! What else can I do now? The three sword auras immediately converged as one.
Xu Feng had just wanted to put the Silver Armor through its paces and see if he could activate the so-called reawakened state. He blinked with surprise—was that... aura? Did Silver Armors know aura? And sword aura at that! There certainly were a lot of swordsmen in the Battle Heaven Army.
Li Hao contemplated for a split second and erupted with the Incantation of the Blade of Blood. Blood qi filled the air, prompting a frown from Xu Feng. He seemed to be familiar with this technique, what was it?
Li Hao melded three auras together and deployed the Incantation, striking without hesitation!
Boom!
It was formidably strong. Xu Feng responded with a surge of ice energy. The longsword bit into a massive ice cube. It was so durable that although it split beneath the sword, a strong recoil traveled up Li Hao’s arm.
“How interesting!” Xu Feng looked at Li Hao. “Why do I think that you’re alive?”
The soldier seemed to be alive, but was that possible?
The young man was quite relaxed. He waved countless ice arrows into existence and charged Li Hao. A smile hung on his face. How fun, this Silver Armor seemed different from the other three. It wasn’t really alive, was it?
If that was the case... that was incredible. Was it a living ancient, or was it someone on the expedition team?
Rumble!!
Countless ice arrows exploded on Li Hao. The young man couldn’t evade in time as Xu Feng was very fast. Ice arrows condensed in the blink of an eye, leaving him no room to react. The young master was much stronger than the supernaturals he’d met before.
Li Hao didn’t make a sound as he jumped up from the ground and stuck with the sword again! The weapon emitted no noise—Ghost Shadow Sword!
Humm!
A sonic boom emitted only after the longsword pierced through the ice. Xu Feng’s eyes widened with surprise!
In the distance, three presences suddenly flared and the Seventh Troop leader’s voice sounded in Li Hao’s mind. “We are about to awaken! If we are unable to defeat the enemy and you live, then you must defend Battle Heaven!”
Li Hao blinked. Boom!
Xu Feng punched with a fist of ice and sealed Li Hao away. Li Hao erupted with internal force and broke out of the ice, but still felt a cold air drape around him. Xu Feng was a mutated water supernatural—an ice supernatural.
There was no time to consider anything else. Li Hao stared at his opponent and transformed his longsword into Stellaris. Silver Armors could use their own weapons—they would be enclosed with the armor’s standard issue weapon. From the outside, it still appeared to be the longsword, but the effects would be vastly different.
