Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 21: Crazy Armor
The black swordsman was wrapped in strange armor that looked like a living creature, and his consciousness seemed to be confused.
He squatted slightly, and the "eyes" of his helmet, which were flashing red, stared straight at Qi Ji.
A sense of horror came over me, as if I were being treated as prey by a wild beast.
The next second, the black swordsman stomped on the ground suddenly . Amid the loud sound of the ground exploding, he rushed out at twice the speed than before, completed a somersault in mid-air and appeared in front of Qi Ji in an instant. The giant sword chopped towards Qi Ji heavily in the blink of an eye.
An intense sense of crisis was raging in Qi Ji's heart.
He activated the markings on the spot, and his whole body radiated a high fever that was difficult for a normal human to achieve.
Then he raised his shield to meet the blow from the black swordsman's greatsword.
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
This time, it was Qi Ji's turn to be knocked flying by his opponent!
Qi Ji now had some understanding of how his past opponents felt when facing him.
You know, this is in the Tower of Transcendence, and the bonus of transcendence is much higher than in the outside world. Even without using the demon-subduing skill, his strength after activating the markings exceeds eighteen tons!
It is enough to match the explosive power when killing the fourth-level priest during the day.
However, under this intensity, the black swordsman, whose strength was clearly crushed by himself in the previous second, became three times stronger than before in the next second, and in turn cut Qi Ji away with one sword!
It must be because of that piece of armor!
Qi Ji immediately thought of the abnormality of the black swordsman's armor.
He adjusted his posture in the air and landed safely. The numbness in his left hand from holding the shield had not yet subsided when the sense of crisis in his heart exploded again!
In front of me, the black swordsman's giant sword is flying towards me rapidly!
The giant sword weighing more than 200 kilograms was thrown by the opponent like a dagger!
Qi Ji raised his shield to block again, and the giant sword was blocked and bounced back.
The black swordsman had already flashed in front of Qi Ji at a terrifying speed!
He grabbed the flying giant sword, then chopped it down with both hands!
The powerful and unstoppable force pressed down.
Qi Ji couldn't resist and kept retreating.
However, as he retreated, he still saw a scene that surprised him out of the corner of his eye.
Swish!
The black swordsman suddenly showed greater strength than that of the fourth level, and now blood was flowing from all over his body!
He is overdrawing his body!
Qi Ji understood, and then started to subdue the demon. The limits of his body's functions were discovered, and his strength and speed increased again.
The next second, he rushed forward and collided with the black swordsman who ignored his own blood.
Demon-Subduing gives him absolute control over his body and emotions, the Striped Mode gives him a super strong body, and the Transparent World allows him to see through his enemies' movement intentions!
Especially when demon-slaying is combined with the transparent world, a terrifying effect is instantly produced where one plus one is far greater than two.
Facing the black swordsman's unparalleled swiftness and high-speed slashing like a storm.
Qi Ji seemed to turn into flowing water, and his whole body appeared and disappeared as his footsteps crossed. As the giant sword that was two meters long and as thick as a door panel danced back and forth, he was able to avoid all attacks with a very small margin.
Seeing that his attacks were unlikely to hit, the black swordsman seemed to fall into endless rage. His throat kept making low roars like a wolf's protest, and the huge sword in his hand swung faster and harder.
But it's still in vain!
Through this brief confrontation, Qi Ji confirmed the black swordsman's attack habits and quickly identified the flaws in his moves.
So he had an expressionless face, and with his eyes blank, he instantly chopped out nine times!
Nine-headed dragon flashes!
You know, after Qi Ji became extraordinary, his strength had already rapidly transformed and became unstoppable. Before he became extraordinary, he could already do nine slashes per second, and now his slashing speed has reached the peak!
Nine swords, it really only takes a moment!
If there were ordinary people watching, they would see nine loud noises and sparks from the armor of the black swordsman almost simultaneously splashing out from nine locations on his body.
Then, the black swordsman was thrown more than 20 meters away with blood spurting out in Qi Ji's final thrust!
Although his armor was not damaged, his body had multiple fractures under Qi Ji's terrifying attack, and blood spurted out like crazy.
However, the black swordsman seemed to feel no pain or injury. While he was still in mid-air, his twisted torso and limbs were straightened by the armor. His broken bones were unable to support the movement of his body due to the horrific power of Qi Ji. The armor then forcibly generated spikes that pierced into his body and combined with his bones to help fix him.
His body "healed", the black swordsman quickly flipped in the air and stepped on the ground, unaware of the blood flowing on his armor.
The next second, he fitted in again!
The black swordsman seemed to have gone completely berserk under some effect of the armor, and would not stop attacking even if he was fatally injured.
If he continues like this, Qi Ji won't need to kill him, he will die from his injuries in a few minutes!
The reason why this set of black armor enables him to fight with his physical fitness increased several times is that it works entirely by breaking through the limits that his body should not break.
Qi Ji knew he had won.
He even took the initiative to cancel the demon-subduing technique - this would allow him to reduce unnecessary mental exhaustion.
There's no need to limit your combat time just for that extra power and speed.
After all, the opponent's strength is false, just like the Abyss Walker Arthas he faced before, who has speed and strength, but a frenzied mind, lacks control over his moves, and can only fight with his body and fighting instincts.
This kind of fighting style poses almost no threat in the face of the transparent world.
The result was just as Qi Ji expected.
…
The seemingly fierce fight between the two lasted less than five minutes.
The battlefield after the fierce battle was in a mess, with large patches of blood and earth pits everywhere on the dry grass.
The black swordsman's giant sword fell to the side - in fact, the black swordsman could no longer hold the sword in the third minute.
He let out an almost inaudible hoarse howl. He was now staggering, but still struggling like a wild beast to pounce on Qi Ji, scratching Qi Ji with his sharp claws, and even wanted to bite Qi Ji's body with the "teeth" of his helmet that looked like a wolf's mouth.
Qi Ji sighed and struck the black swordsman several meters away with a shield strike.
This time, the black swordsman failed to get up.
Qi Ji silently looked at the black swordsman lying on the ground, whose chest seemed to be still rising and falling slightly, and asked softly: "Are you awake?"
After a moment of silence.
"Awake." The black swordsman's voice was hoarse and almost inaudible.
The wolf-like head armor slowly retracted, revealing the black swordsman's face that was completely different from before the battle.
The face was just like a skeleton, without any human features.
His hair was completely white and his cheeks were sunken like a skull, but his eyes were still shining, as if filled with unwillingness.
In fact, under the armor that Qi Ji could not see, the black swordsman's body had already become like his face, with only a thin layer of skin covering the bones.
His blood and flesh had long been devoured by the armor on his body in this battle that exceeded his physical limits.
"You're going to die soon." Qi Ji looked at him and said.
The black-clad swordsman turned his head slightly. In fact, he could hardly even do this movement. He looked at Qi Ji woodenly and said, "Yes, I'm about to die."
"If I die, I will be free, right?" His eyes seemed to penetrate Qi Ji's face, as if he saw a certain existence: "But, I am so unwilling... I haven't been able to take revenge, I haven't been able to cut off "his" head."
Qi Ji saw him like this, thought for a moment, and said, "You are just a "projection" in my dream. Dying in my dream will not have any impact on your reality. After waking up, stick to your path and continue to complete your revenge."
"Really?" The black swordsman suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Qi Ji, endless hope bursting from his eyes.
Qi Ji nodded decisively.
"Good! Haha! Very good!" The black swordsman laughed happily: "My name is Gus, may I ask your name?"
"Qi Ji!" Qi Ji said.
"Okay! Qi Ji, I'll remember your name!" Gus's voice became weaker and weaker, "If there's a chance, let's spar again in the future..."
The next second, he, who looked like a withered skeleton, quietly closed his eyes.
Everything began to disintegrate into mist and rushed into Qi Ji's chest.
[Kill the target, take away 500 points of spirituality, and convert the excess spirituality into transcendence]
[Current transcendence degree 2380, spirituality 100/100]
Qi Ji shook his head and muttered to himself: "It's a pity that I don't even know whether you really exist or in what world you exist, so how can I have the chance to fight again?"
The mechanism of the Tower of Transcendence is completely illogical. You say that the various projected opponents it creates are fake, but each opponent is lifelike, as if they have their own memories and past life.
You said that the projections it created are real people, but Qi Ji has never heard of anyone other than Luo Lang, a Jinyiwei who he could vaguely find when he was at the human level.
Qi Ji shook his head and looked at what Gus left for him.
A set of pure black terrifying armor was lying quietly there.
It is indeed it!
Qi Ji frowned, walked forward, and gently touched the armor that no longer had an owner inside.
The armor immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared, entering Qi Ji's panel.
The transcendence panel presented its information in front of Qi Ji.
[Berserker Armor: A super weapon with an endless curse. Wearing this armor to fight can completely suppress the user's physical and subconscious pain, greatly enhance the user's physical functions, forcibly repair the user's injuries, and increase their strength and speed to previously unimaginable levels. Correspondingly, it will also affect the user's mind, amplifying their bloodlust, hatred, anger, killing and other desires, turning them into wild and bloodthirsty monsters that cannot distinguish between friend and foe.]
It is indeed a terrifying cursed armor!
Qi Ji thought about it and put the titanium alloy armor on his body into the sword bag.
The next second, a set of pitch-black, hideous-looking armor appeared on his body.
