Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him

Chapter 245 Armor Hero

A faint smile appeared on the face of the Marquis of Chong.

From childhood to adulthood, as the crown prince, Prince Zigui always surpassed him. Even if he could do better than Prince Zigui, he had to be low-key and humble, and dared not overstep the mark.

Now that the situation has become irreversible, the thoughts that have been suppressed in my heart for so many years can finally be expressed.

At this moment, he was in a position of great righteousness and had elite troops under his command. Dealing with his elder brother, who only had a few defeated soldiers, would be a sure thing.

Zhao Rui overheard the gist of the conversation and was speechless. He hadn't expected that his trip would coincide with the Shang Dynasty's rebellion, or rather, the restoration of order.

His current situation is somewhat awkward.

Originally, he intervened to protect himself and save others, but now, if he intervenes again, wouldn't that be interfering in the internal strife of the Shang Dynasty?

His every move now is related to the future relationship between the Shang Dynasty and Zhongzhou.

"Grass!"

Zhao Rui couldn't help but spit inwardly.

"Lord Chong, I misjudged you! It pains me deeply."

King Zigui slowly closed his eyes, his words carrying an endless sense of desolation.

"I believe I have treated you well, granting you military power, allowing you to lead troops independently, and bestowing upon you the glory of being second only to the emperor—"

"shut up!"

"Ask the Shang dynasty and the soldiers present these questions. You are dissolute and extravagant. Granting me military power is merely a response to your inability to expand your territory."

"Now you have killed my general and imprisoned us without cause. How dare you put on this act? Today's battle is either your death or mine."

Things have come to this point, and there is no room for reconciliation. Since King Chonghou has taken this step, he has prepared for a decisive battle.

"Very well! In that case, I'll have to trouble you all."

Zi Guiwang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Witch Lord Wupeng behind him suddenly raised his hand and drew a line towards the sky. Instantly, a spatial rift appeared above the group.

The crack widened as if someone had cut it open, and as the crack expanded, a deafening roar came from it.

"roar!"

This roar shocked everyone present, and the faces of the people on Chonghou King's side changed drastically.

Even Zhao Rui was horrified.

"Nine-Orifice Soul-Devouring Worm!"

It turned out to be the same colossal creature that appeared in the Void Realm before Guixu and Blue Star merged into one, and that devoured Zhao Rui and Mo Ling'er.

This thing can absorb spiritual energy and resist extreme environments like the void; it's incredibly powerful.

Mo Ling'er, who was standing beside Zhao Rui, quickly moved closer and said, "How did they attract this thing? Have they gone mad?"

At this moment, the Boundary Realm disappeared, and all these Boundary Realm Beasts vanished from the Blue Star world.

But unexpectedly, the method this group obtained from who-knows-where attracted the void beasts.

"This beast is probably controlled by humans."

Zhao Rui frowned and said, "A huge dragon roar came from afar in the void. Soon, an enormous head emerged from the crack."

The behemoth had a mouth, revealing more and denser teeth than a shark.

Mo Ling'er couldn't help but gasp. Luckily, they were small; if they were larger, they would never have been swallowed whole.

While the two were still in shock, the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle had completely crawled out. Its entire body resembled a termite, but it had grown ferocious limbs and a long, thin tail like a whip.

On its head stood a person, dressed in strange clothes, like a thin mechanical armor.

If I had to describe it, it's somewhat like the Saint Cloth of Saint Seiya.

The person was wearing a mask, and the armor on their chest was slightly bulging; they were probably female.

"roar!"

With a roar, the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle leaped into the air and landed steadily beside King Zigui's main force.

After it emerged, the roaring behind it did not stop, and a full five Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetles crawled out of the void.

These nine-aperture soul-devouring idiots all had people in full armor standing on their heads.

With the appearance of the six-headed, nine-aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle, the flying beasts in King Zigui's party began to stir restlessly.

The warriors on the back of the flying beast tried frantically to calm it down, but the agitation remained difficult to control.

Clearly, these flying beasts have an innate fear of the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle.

"You think you've got me cornered? Haha. I didn't want to take this step, but you forced me into it."

King Zigui looked coldly at King Chonghou and said.

King Chonghou's face was extremely grim. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the female armored warrior on the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Worm opposite him utter a voice that sounded like a mechanical tremor, saying from afar, "What are you dawdling for! Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the six-headed, nine-aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle twisted its body, its four claws tearing spatial rifts in the void, and charged toward Chonghou King's troops.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

At this point, there was no way out. King Chonghou shouted, and his soldiers marched out in formation, dividing into groups, and charged towards the strange beasts and soldiers on the other side.

The two groups instantly clashed and engaged in fierce combat.

These nine-aperture soul-devouring beetles opened their mouths wide, and their endless suction force pulled towards Chonghou King's troops.

Ordinary soldiers were no match for them and were all sucked into their stomachs.

Upon seeing this, Mo Wuji quickly led his soldiers to use a formation technique to create arrays resembling divine bird totems, resisting the suction force of these strange beasts.

At the same time, the combined attack of these soldiers can unleash a powerful force far exceeding their own strength, transforming into streaks of light that bombard the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Worm, causing it to roar repeatedly.

On the other side, the Great Witch Lord Wupeng also led his troops to charge over. Their flying beasts were unique species of the Shang Dynasty's flying legion.

There is none on the Chonghou King's side.

Although these strange beasts are not as powerful as the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle, they should not be underestimated. When paired with high-level warriors, they are comparable to the heavy cavalry of ancient times, and are invincible.

On Chonghou Wang's side, Mo Longteng was not idle either, and led a group of warriors to respond.

The ferocity of the battle between the two sides was awe-inspiring.

Countless corpses fell from the sky, staining the mountains and fields below blood red.

"kill!"

Seeing her father and brother locked in fierce combat, Mo Ling'er's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. She picked up a long sword and charged forward.

Although she was only at the high-level of the Dharma Aspect stage, her strength was already close to the Domain Realm. Her greatsword transformed into a length of more than ten meters, and with each swing, sword energy crisscrossed.

Whether it's the enemy's beasts or soldiers, they are injured or killed if they get close, giving off a feeling of rampage and slaughter.

Everyone rushed out, leaving Zhao Rui standing there awkwardly.

"What kind of mess is this?!"

Just as Zhao Rui was at a loss for words, his hair stood on end, and a strange sense of crisis arose within him.

Without a second thought, Zhao Rui used the Step Fighting Step to dodge at lightning speed. Just as his figure disappeared, a rift suddenly appeared in the void behind him, precisely where he had just been.

"Grass!"

Zhao Rui cursed inwardly. Even now, he wouldn't dare to take a direct hit from the spatial rift without any precautions.

This thing can tear through space. If it can tear through space, then the human body is even more so. Not to mention the human body, even the hardest objects are within the scope of space.

Zhao Rui turned around with a focused gaze and saw a man, just like the armored warriors who had stood atop the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetles, slowly emerging from the void where the crack had appeared.

"Are you their backup plan?"

The man's lips curled into a slight smile as he looked at Zhao Rui with amusement.

What a backhand trick!

Zhao Rui was speechless for a moment.

He was just lagging behind, not yet deciding whether to make a move.

"And who are you? It seems the Great Shang Dynasty doesn't have anyone like you?"

Seeing that the other party was calm and composed, Zhao Rui asked in a leisurely manner.

"us?"

The man smiled and said slowly, "We are aliens to you."

"Visitors from outer space?"

Zhao Rui was startled. Before he could ask any more questions, the other party rubbed his fingers together, and a beam of light flashed from between his fingers.

Then the man pointed at Zhao Rui, and a beam of light shot out, heading straight for Zhao Rui.

The intense light illuminated the night sky.

Zhao Rui swung his sword through the air, the blade emitting a dazzling light, and slashed diagonally at the beam of light.

A tremendous force instantly emanated from the light, causing Zhao Rui's tiger's mouth to ache.

"A copyable martial art, Blazing Finger, has been detected. Copy?"

"Copy!"

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes, his sword light intensified, and a fire dragon soared into the air, striking towards the man.

"That's interesting."

The newcomer raised his right hand and touched his forehead, a flash of light emanating from his armor.

His armor was so tight that it completely covered his entire body.

Zhao Rui's Breaking Calamity Sword struck straight up, but a flash of light appeared on the armor, as if a layer of air membrane blocked the sharpness of the Breaking Calamity Sword.

The Sword of Destruction couldn't even break through the defense?

Zhao Rui's face darkened slightly.

"What a fine sword!"

The man's body trembled slightly, and his left hand transformed into a claw, reaching out to grab Zhao Rui's right wrist.

Zhao Rui dodged with a flick of his wrist, then slashed upwards with his sword, both using close-quarters combat techniques, demonstrating a simplification of complex skills and a return to basics.

Although it looked like ordinary martial arts with no power, both of them knew how dangerous it was.

Especially Zhao Rui, whose armor provided extremely high protection, while his body lacked such protection.

Zhao Rui hadn't expected to encounter such a formidable opponent, which ignited his competitive spirit, prompting him to unleash all his skills.

The expansive and powerful Shaolin Kung Fu, the agile and skillful Emei Kung Fu, the Qingcheng Thunder Sword Technique, and the Huashan Reverse Yin-Yang Swordplay —

His knowledge was incredibly diverse, and in terms of the subtlety of his techniques alone, he was virtually unmatched.

The opponent abandoned the ranged attack of Crimson Flame Finger and tried to outsmart him with techniques; it was like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.

"you----"

The more he fought, the more astonished he became. He hadn't expected Zhao Rui to be so skilled in martial arts. In terms of moves alone, how could he possibly subdue Zhao Rui?

He held on for a while, and his armor was struck dozens of times. But one time, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​fighting Zhao Rui in close combat. The armor flashed again and sent Zhao Rui flying.

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly; this armor was indeed very useful.

It has high defense and can also attack, and its attacks even have area-of-effect attributes.

"You surprised me!"

As the man spoke, his fingers once again emitted a light that shot towards Zhao Rui like a streak of light.

"That's too rudimentary!"

Zhao Rui swayed and dodged, shifting his body to dodge.

This finger technique is straightforward and, apart from its power, it has no other merits.

However, when paired with this armor, it offers both defense and offense, making it like a mobile fortress.

It does have some merits, though.

"Damn it, how dare they look down on me!"

Enraged, the man's armor flashed again, his speed suddenly increased dramatically, leaving a blur as he swiftly attacked Zhao Rui.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui also flashed and used the Maiden Without Form Heavenly Demon Technique. His six figures dispersed to six different locations, blocking the man's movement according to the six directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back.

No matter how fast the man was, he couldn't escape the telepathic connection of the Formless Heavenly Demon and was soon forced to shrink his movement space.

He had no choice but to keep using the Blazing Finger technique to keep Zhao Rui away.

"Blazing Finger successfully copied, reward: +1 advancement point!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Zhao Rui smiled slightly, rubbed his fingers together, and a beam of intense light shot directly onto the man's armor.

The immense impact and destructive force sent the man flying nearly a hundred meters backward.

"How do you know the Blazing Finger technique?"

The man was utterly horrified, his face filled with disbelief.

"Such a simple martial art, you can learn it in no time!"

Zhao Rui smiled faintly.

"How is that possible?"

The man's eyes widened, about to ask more questions, when he saw Zhao Rui rub his fingers together, sending bursts of finger force piercing through space and shooting towards the man.

The man quickly tapped a mechanism on the armor, and the entire armor glowed with a blue light, becoming dazzling.

That's enough!

The man shouted and flashed forward, striking Zhao Rui.

"You're right."

Zhao Rui chuckled and used the Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique in combination with the Maiden Formless Heavenly Demon Technique to directly create six figures, each unleashing a sonic divine power.

A huge vacuum of air rushed into the man from all directions.

These sound waves have long since transcended ordinary air vibrations, instead creating a sense of spatial vibration.

This surge of true energy directly bound the man's figure in the middle at a strange frequency.

His armor constantly emitted a dazzling blue light.

"break!"

Zhao Rui unleashed a thunderous roar, and the man's armor abruptly disintegrated, transforming into individual parts that floated in the air.

The man, now terrified, asked in a trembling voice, "How did you do that?"

"Please feel free to say that."

Zhao Rui strode over, reached out and took the armor parts into his hands, lifting them up.

"It's so light, it's as if it's nothing at all. Please come up."

"Release me now, and I promise you, I'll bring my people to help you! I can call them back first."

"Oh? Tell me about your background first!"

"Would you please take care of your people? They are fighting amongst themselves."

The man looked at Zhao Rui in surprise. Just a short distance away, the Shang and his army were completely unharmed.

Zhao Rui wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Please, please hurry."

Zhao Rui suddenly appeared behind the subhuman and stretched out his right hand to cover the top of his head.

The Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique was activated instantly!

"what!"

The man struggled painfully for a few moments, then suddenly lowered his head, before raising it again a moment later.

"Owner!"

"Make them stop!"

"yes!"

The man nodded upon hearing this, then rubbed his fingers together, sending a beam of light directly towards the armored warrior leading the group in the distance.

The armored warrior looked surprised, but Wu immediately stopped his movements and controlled the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle beneath him.

At the same time, the other Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetles also stopped their movements and flew into the sky.
