Chapter 464: The Battle To Defend the City (III)

Li Hao no longer thought about or looked elsewhere on the battlefield. He struck with his sword and erupted with the auras of three attributes. A ferocious tiger roared, the earth overturned, and the metal sword exploded!

Xu Feng shifted as well and abruptly disappeared. Li Hao, however, pushed off his feet and followed right beside his opponent, slashing out with a longsword that was enveloped by killing intent!

Crunch!

A crisp fracture sounded as the ice in front of Xu Feng crumbled away. It’d shattered much faster than he expected. He couldn’t dodge in time and took the sword to his chest. And yet, a large impact sounded as a mirror hovered in front of his chest. A Heart Protector!

Xu Feng looked at Li Hao, then at his mirror. His eyes widened as they shot back to the sword in Li Hao’s hand. That sword was too sharp! There was a small mark left on his mirror!

Not only that, but there was a shuddering weapon soul inside the mirror. No matter how he commanded it, it refused to emerge. It only used the innate durability of the mirror to withstand the Silver Armor’s sword. What in the world was going on? Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

The soldier wasn’t weak—Xu Feng could sense that it was roughly initial Nova. His estimate wouldn’t be too far off the mark. Whatever level it was at, it was far weaker than him. And yet, his supernatural technique of the ice shield was instantly shattered!

This was astounding, and what had been that tiger howl? Xu Feng frowned, finding the situation increasingly odd.

Yuan Xingwu also furrowed his brows in the distance and looked in Li Hao’s direction. He was confused—had that been a tiger roar just a moment ago? He’d heard many tiger roars before, but that one had been different from his master’s. In the martial world, only the Five Styles could emit such a stately tiger roar.

Yuan Xingwu then turned around to look at Xu Feng. The look in his eyes shifted slightly as he registered how strong this person was. He naturally knew of someone on the Divine Masters Ranking. He looked at the Silver Armor—when it cut through the air with the combined might of three sword auras, the resplendent radiance it erupted with was vastly different from the style that the other three Silver Armors battled with!

“Three sword auras... tiger roar... blood qi... Incantation of the Blade of Blood...” Incredulity dawned in Yuan Xingwu’s eyes! He was reminded of one person among the information that he’d gathered—Li Hao! The junior brother that he’d yet to meet, Li Hao!

That Silver Armor was a disguised Li Hao, but how??

Li Hao’s sword strokes followed one after another. He didn’t care if his identity was exposed as he was using not only the sword, but the Five Styles as well. He shifted up and down at an extreme speed, one moment like a ferocious tiger, the other like an ape. Anyone who knew Yuan Shuo would recognize it after a moment—this was the Five Styles discipline!

Off in the distance, Hu Dingfang was not part of Earthturner Sword’s encirclement. He looked over, eyes widening as he recognized Li Hao. The lad had somehow entered Battle Heaven and become a Silver Armor! He was fighting a mid Nova, how incredible!

......

Li Hao didn’t care about anyone. All he focused on was producing the water aura! There wouldn’t be any trouble with locking it so long as it manifested. His organs were exceedingly strong and he’d be able to contain his fourth aura instantaneously. If he combined four auras together and employed the Incantation of the Blade of Blood in conjunction, he might be able to stand against his opponent!

Li Hao stopped throwing himself against Xu Feng; to be impetuous didn’t mean to nurture a death wish. He stuck to his opponent’s side like glue instead.

“You’re not an ancient...” Xu Feng realized something at this point. “Your moves are more like the fabled Five Styles discipline of Silver Moon. You’re... Li Hao!”

He gaped. Li Hao?? A guy who hadn’t spent much time in martial dao was on par with a Nova? What kind of fortuitous opportunity had he stumbled upon?!

Li Hao didn’t respond. So what if you recognize me? You guys are all gonna die! He darted back into the darkness with his next blow. So what if you’re a mid Nova?

BOOM!

Chaotic action reigned around the battlefield as some Bronze Armors seemed to be awakening as well. They spontaneously ripped through some of the supernaturals in front of them. Two different parties of supernaturals clashed into each other as wails abounded!

......

Li Hao put everything out of mind. His only thought was to exhaust that little bastard!

Rumble!

Feet and fist struck at the same time—even his tiger roar made a reappearance!

“Roar!!” The berserk roar shook nearby supernaturals to the point where blood streamed out of their orifices. They quickly backed away; Xu Feng was shaken to the point of dizziness. Why was this fellow so strong? Was he an undying existence?

The killing continued. As more supernaturals died, the more Black Armors were rendered obsolete.

......

At the same time.

Inside the city.

The Gold Armor held the Black Tortoise Seal and hovered in the center of the city lord manor. It looked in the direction of the eastern city gate and raised its head at the old turtle. The turtle was silent, simply watching the battlefield.

“Isn’t that... also a kind of release?” came a ripple from the turtle. Indeed, wasn’t the reawakening a release? It wasn’t that the soldiers couldn’t be saved or stopped from their actions, but that it was torture to be confined within their armors for millennia!

It was the most painful agony! They had no memories, no souls, just a lingering obsession. This revitalization at the last second to remind them of their past—wasn’t that a bequeathment and release?

A ripple stirred from the Gold Armor. “But... we... are... willing!”

Willing to stay and defend! Willing to safeguard the city!

Some emotions gripped the old turtle. “Then go!”

“Understood!” came the mechanical assent. The Gold Armor shot out with extremely dense killing intent!

We are willing. We are willing to endure this loneliness and pain. This so-called release isn’t important.

We protect the city because that was the vow we took when we joined the Battle Heaven Army. Instead of humanity, we fight for this empty city now. Even so, it tastes as sweet as sugar plums!

The Gold Armor swiftly approached the eastern city gate. Meanwhile, a foreign emotion appeared in the hovering turtle’s eyes. So they were willing to continue enduring this pain?

It’d wanted to free them as this torment was too much. Was the Battle Heaven Army not willing to disappear?
