Chapter 398 Mysterious Armor

Although Sikong Yijian is said to have nothing but the sword.

But this kind of emotion is mainly attributed to the fact that people don't like dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships and don't like to care about people who are not worth caring about or not worthy of attention.

Most of his emotions were tied to the three-foot-long sword in his hand.

But he is not without feelings. He is completely different from Wenrou's indifference and Ji Yexue's coldness due to her practice of the [White Jade Eternal Life Sutra].

Although he didn't know who this young man was, considering his age and martial arts skills, he was ready to go on stage and fight the five monsters. And judging from their posture, if they fought one-on-one, the five monsters might not be his match.

He still admired this kind of style.

Therefore, when he thought of what Zuo Huaifeng had just done, the sound of a sword began to ring in his heart.

I want to teach the leader of Xuanji Sect a lesson.

Zuo Huaifeng was speechless for a moment:
"I just said something out of turn. Why did Sect Master Sikong do this?"

"Dare you, or don't you dare?"

Sikong Yijian still spoke simply and directly.

Only five words were uttered, but Zuo Huaifeng was embarrassed.

I dare to say that, judging from Sikong Yijian's swordsmanship just now, I would probably die if I went on the stage.

If they say they dare not, how can Xuanjimen have the face to be ranked among the nine major sects in Lingbei in the future?

Even if Sikong Yijian would not kill anyone because of today's Heroes Conference, the loss of reputation would be difficult to make up for if he was defeated.

He was extremely hesitant for a moment, and when he looked around, he found that everyone was just watching.

What he said just now really angered everyone.

In the end, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and go on stage:
"Since Sect Master Sikong is so interested, what if I perform on stage?"

Sikong Yijian ignored him and looked at the young man:
"You're not going down yet? You want to fight me too?"

"Ah... I would never dare to do that."

The young man was startled and quickly got off the stage.

But after stepping down, he looked a little dazed, as if he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind:
"Little brother, come over here and have a chat."

He recognized this voice, the one who had just instructed him to "Gather Qi at Laogong" and "Chase the Wind and the Moon without Letting Up".

Subconsciously, he looked among the crowd and soon made eye contact with Chu Qing.

It dawned on him.

No wonder the voice sounded familiar to me before, it turned out to be him!
After hesitating for a while, he finally came to Chu Qing.

"Hello... Sir."

He clasped his fists slightly.

Chu Qing smiled:
"No need to be polite. These five monsters have always acted together, but now one is missing. I wonder where that person has gone?"

"I killed him."

The young man answered softly.

Chu Qing nodded. This answer was not unexpected.

Then Chu Qing sighed softly:

"I still remember our conversation in the pavilion that day. My little brother didn't yet have this unfathomable martial arts skill.

"In just two or three days, he has transformed into someone who can compete with the five monsters. It's really shocking..."

When he said this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

But his eyes were looking towards the martial arts stage.

Zuo Huaifeng is the head of Xuanji Sect, and Sikong Yijian is the head of Taishang Jian Sect.

The fight between these two people is naturally very interesting.

However, Chu Qing estimated in his heart that with Sikong Yijian's swordsmanship, Zuo Huaifeng would definitely not be his opponent.

While this young man was talking about these two sentences, a fight had already started on the stage. Sikong Yijian was still holding the sword, his posture casual and a little arrogant.

Zuo Huaifeng was in a state of panic,

Forced by Sikong's sword, he was finally in a dilemma with nowhere to hide. The whole process was completed in just a few words.

But just when Sikong was about to use his fatal sword move to teach Zuo Huaifeng a real lesson, the situation changed.

Sikong Yijian's swordsmanship is still as sharp as the surging wind, floating clouds, spreading water, and the omnipresent ocean.

It is difficult to dodge and I don’t know how to resist.

Zuo Huaifeng was obviously in the same mood, but as the last sword was chopped down, a large amount of dust was stirred up on the martial arts stage.

When the dust settled, Zuo Huaifeng, who should have been defeated by this sword, was standing there intact.

It's just that he has an extra set of armor on his body...

Or to be more precise, he had been wearing this suit of armor underneath, and now the outer garment was shredded by the sword energy, revealing the black armor underneath.

The sword energy did not leave any trace on him.

He moved his wrist slightly and heard a crackling sound. The nail plates covered his wrist and in a blink of an eye, the whole hand was covered.

Chu Qing's eyebrows jumped...

In the world of martial arts, the appearance of armor and the like is not surprising.

But for some reason, this set of armor looks so familiar?

In an instant, two people flashed through Chu Qing's mind...

Cold corpse Chu Huaifeng!
There is also the person who practices the [Wood Corpse Technique].

Each of them was wearing a set of armor, which was exactly the same as Zuo Huaifeng's current one.

Chu Huaifeng...Zuo Huaifeng!
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

The young man was staring blankly at the arena at this time, not paying attention to Chu Qing's words. Chu Qing spoke softly and asked Wu Qianhuan to call Zuo Zhongtang over.

At the same time, on the martial arts stage, Sikong Yijian looked at Zuo Huaifeng in front of him, but he did not look surprised.

His idea was simple and direct. If one sword failed, just try another one!
So he raised his sword and rushed forward again.

Zuo Huaifeng sighed:
"Master Sikong is forcing me to do this. Do you really think that I am afraid of you?"

He shook his arms, and suddenly a mechanism opened and closed behind his body, and nine chains flew out. The chains seemed to have spirits, flying in the air, and actually entangled with Sikong Yijian's sword energy.

But there is another mystery at the tip of the chain, and the sword energy is so dense that it is impossible to figure it out.

The tip of the chain suddenly spread out, like a strange flower blooming. Thousands of rays shot out from the flower, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Sikong's sword energy rolled up, and for a moment, everything around him was airtight.

But when he blocked the rays of light from the sky and looked up again, he saw Zuo Huaifeng, who was wearing armor, holding an iron umbrella in his hand.

He leaped over with an umbrella handle in his hand and started hitting.

Sikong Yijian raised his sword to meet the attack, and there was a clanging sound!

When the long sword and the iron umbrella touched, layers of true energy unfolded, causing roars in all directions.

The two figures separated as soon as they touched each other, and in the blink of an eye, the wind started to blow and the strong wind was everywhere.

It was at this time that Zuo Zhongtang came to Chu Qing, but this time there were two people, one was Zuo Zhongtang and the other was Cheng Xiao.

Without waiting for Zuo Zhongtang to bow, Chu Qing spoke:
"What is the origin of this set of armor your father is wearing?" "It is a mysterious armor."

Zuo Zhongtang raised his eyes, a look of amazement appeared in his eyes:
“This is the culmination of my Xuanji Sect’s mechanical work. This armor is made of Xuanji Iron, which is made using the secret method of my Xuanji Sect.

“It is invulnerable to swords and spears, and is immune to water and fire. When internal energy is poured into it, it can form a layer of energy shield to isolate poisonous gas and miasma.

“Even the methods used in the martial arts world to break the protective qi are powerless against this armor.

"It looks thin and light, but it has a lot of secrets inside. Almost all the mechanical devices of my Xuanji Sect can be installed on the Xuanji Armor..."

Just as he said this, he heard a phoenix cry erupting from the martial arts stage.

A strong sound wave was transmitted. If Liu Zhaonian, Ouyang Tianxu, Ji Yexue, Dai Zongming and others had not quickly stepped in to stop it, it would have covered the entire Xianyun Villa.

The roar of sword energy also sounded at this time, and Sikong Yijian, holding a long sword, came through the wind, and the tip of the sword had reached Zuo Huaifeng's chest.

Zuo Huaifeng used his internal energy to bind the long sword between his palms.

There seemed to be lightning flowing on the two hands covered by the mysterious armor, and finally acted on Sikong Yijian's sword.

Even a tiny bit of the turbulent gale and sword energy is enough to take a person's life.

Chu Qing leaned back in his chair, watching the scene quietly, and asked:
"Since its creation, only your Xuanji Sect has this armor?"

"……Yes."

Zuo Zhongtang didn't know why Chu Qing asked this, but he still answered truthfully:
“Although my father has always wanted to reproduce the Xuanji Armor so that everyone in my Xuanji Sect can wear this artifact.

“However, the predecessor’s attainments in mechanical engineering were too profound, and the inheritance was interrupted due to some accidents.

"So much so that even if people of my generation study hard for a lifetime, it is still difficult to perfectly replicate it... every time we fail, nothing remains."

Chu Qing was stunned, and looked back at Zuo Zhongtang:
"Not a drop left?"

"Yes."

Zuo Zhongtang said softly:
"This armor is mysterious. There is a mystery within it. If you make a mistake, the armor will shatter and not even a residue will be left."

“…Is it possible that your father has actually made this Xuan Ji Armor, or at least replicated something similar, but not as mysterious as this Xuan Ji Armor?

"But he didn't tell you, but gave the armor to someone else?"

Chu Qing's words immediately made Zuo Zhongtang look unhappy.

He smiled bitterly and said:
"My father may have some collusion with the Niejingtai, but to say that he borrowed the Xuanji Sect to make Xuanji Armor and gave it to others... This kind of thing is absolutely impossible."

"Is it possible? Just ask and you'll know."

Chu Qing looked at the sky:
"Today's Heroes Conference has been quite lively. It's almost time to end it."

Just as Chu Qing said this, the stalemate in the field also came to a conclusion.

Sikong Yijian was concentrating all his attention on the stalemate between the sword in his hand and his opponent, but Zuo Huaifeng's mysterious armor piece suddenly vibrated and fell off.

The fallen armor pieces did not fall to the ground, but flew towards Sikong Yijian's eyes at an extremely fast speed.

When everyone saw this, they realized that this was not a fallen piece of armor at all. The Xuanji Armor was full of mechanisms, and this was just a sneak attack during the stalemate.

A flash of sword intent appeared in Sikong Yijian's eyes, and a strong sword energy suddenly burst out.

He wanted to use this to break through Zuo Huaifeng's defense first.

Even though the scales were right in front of his eyes, he didn't even look at them.

Seeing this, Zuo Huaifeng let out an angry shout and suddenly pressed down with both palms. The sword tip just broke through his blockade at this moment and pierced diagonally into his arms. When the sword tip touched the Xuanji armor, it caused large sparks but did not break the armor at all.

Sikong Yijian's cheeks were bleeding profusely, as he was injured by the armor.

This was thanks to the change just now, otherwise it would not be the face that was injured but the eyes.

But now, his sword thrust forward neither broke Zuo Huaifeng's mysterious armor nor pushed him back.

Instead, one's own weaknesses are exposed.

Zuo Huaifeng lowered his shoulders and elbows, and suddenly struck Sikong Yijian right in the chest and abdomen.

Sikong Yijian took a deep breath and his chest collapsed three inches instantly. However, even so, the strong wind he created still blew him away.

This retreat almost made him retreat off the stage. Just as he was about to regroup, his face darkened and he felt that the inner energy in his body was intermittent and lacking in vitality.

I wanted to breathe, but I couldn't.

He subconsciously touched his cheek and realized that there must be another mystery on the armor plates of the Xuan Ji Armor.

But now I realized it was too late.

Zuo Huaifeng turned around and appeared in front of him.

With a grab of five fingers, the claws that covered the sky and the sun enveloped Sikong Yijian in all directions.

"not good!"

"stop!!"

It was hard for others to tell whether Sikong Yijian had left any room for maneuver, but it was obvious that Zuo Huaifeng's claw did not want to leave Sikong Yijian any chance to survive.

It seemed that the grab was about to fall on Sikong Yijian's head.

With just a little force, relying on Zuo Huaifeng's martial arts and the power of the Xuanji Armor, Sikong Yijian's head would be smashed like a watermelon on the spot.

At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared, grabbed Zuo Huaifeng's wrist, and pulled him directly from mid-air onto the martial arts stage.

Sikong Yijian's eyes were calm. Even though he had just experienced life and death, there didn't seem to be any ripples in his heart.

Just looking at Chu Qing who appeared out of nowhere, he said softly:
"Thank you."

After saying this, he turned around and walked down the stage without saying anything more.

Zuo Huaifeng stared at Chu Qing with a gloomy expression:

"It's you!?"

"Master Zuo, we have known each other for a long time. Why don't we have a good talk today?"

Chu Qing spoke lightly.

But it also caused a stir in the venue.

Although he became famous in a battle in front of Tianlai City, not many people in the world have seen him.

Seeing the two young men coming on stage one after another, they all felt for a moment that the world of martial arts was indeed unfathomable.

Some of the older generation in the world couldn't help but sigh and say that the new generation is always pushing the old generation forward.

It wasn't until someone revealed Chu Qing's identity that the group suddenly realized what was going on.

I know that this person is not some unknown young man who has just started out in the world.

But it was the Mad Knife Master who had already been famous in the martial arts world!

Especially the young man who was just called over by Chu Qing to talk to him, he also learned about Chu Qing's identity from the discussions of these people, and it suddenly dawned on him.

It turned out that the person whom he met by chance in the pavilion that day was the Third Young Master who had been famous in the martial arts world for a long time.

No wonder...

Unfortunately, my mentor was still discussing this person's identity with me before he died. Now that I know it, I will never have the chance to tell him again.

While I was sighing in my heart, I heard Zuo Huaifeng on the stage sneer:
"You and I have never met before, what is there to talk about?

"Now that we're on stage, let's just fight!
"watch out!"
