Chapter 88 - 67 Arrogant Iron Beast! As Solid as a
“Who goes there?”
The martial artist guarding the entrance to the Black Cavalry Gang’s stronghold couldn’t help but bark, while gripping the weapon at his waist.
Although the identity of the armor-clad figure was unknown, it was definitely foe rather than friend. If it was a visitor coming to call, why would they be wearing such an exaggerated suit of armor?
“An enemy…”
A young martial artist shouted, trying to alert the others.
Clang!
But suddenly, with a metallic ring, the armor-clad figure, who had previously been walking neither hurriedly nor slowly, flashed forward. Despite the visibly heavy armor, their speed was not affected in the slightest!
In the blink of an eye, Su Changkong, clad in Iron Beast Armor, had closed in on the young martial artist. His right fist struck out like lightning, carrying a deep, vigorous force.
“Bang!”
A teeth-grating sound of impact mixed with the noise of breaking bones. The young martial artist didn’t even have time to react before he was sent flying backward from the punch, blood spraying as he crashed to the ground.
The young martial artist’s head was twisted, and there was a bloody hole on his forehead—a result of the metallic spike on the battle armor. It was a fatal blow!
Su Changkong’s Iron Beast Armor was equipped for both offense and defense!
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
In an instant, piercing yells echoed throughout the Black Cavalry Gang’s stronghold, accompanied by the sharp, urgent ringing of the bell from the watchtower, heralding the arrival of war.
Several Black Cavalry Gang martial artists guarding the entrance were both alarmed and furious, but excitement sparkled in their eyes. With the Black Cavalry Gang’s strict system of rewards and punishments, killing this assaulting enemy would surely bring a huge bounty!
“Kill him!”
The martial artists rushed forth in unison, intent on chopping down the armored figure on the spot.
But in Su Changkong’s eyes, these martial artists were merely seeking death!
Su Changkong raised his fists high and pounded down!
“Bang!”
The heavy force crashed down, and the martial artists on either side felt the sky darken above them. In the next second, their heads were crushed by the mighty fists, exploding into pieces!
“Clang!”
Another martial artist made a tricky attack, his blade aimed at Su Changkong’s side, hacking solidly only to produce a clear sound of metal on metal. The blade left a mere scratch on the thick armor and failed to cause further damage.
“Wait…”
The martial artist’s mouth twitched, and seeing Su Changkong’s cold gaze turn toward him, he hurriedly tried to say something.
“Boom!”
But in the next second, Su Changkong’s palms opened and clapped together with a Twin Peak Through Ears move, exploding on impact. The warrior’s head was crushed by the immense force.
Against an ordinary martial artist, someone with Body Refinement Great Achievement like Su Changkong was as fragile as an infant!
Whiz Whiz Whiz!
A series of whooshing sounds followed, as those adept in archery from the watchtower had already nocked their arrows, firing them with intense sounds of parting the air, like falling stars.
For a martial artist, the threat of a bow and arrow was immense—the arrow’s speed was fast, its killing power strong. Even martial artists with Body Refinement Great Achievement, while unfazed by punches and kicks, were not yet resistant to the attacks of edged weapons like swords, and would die if hit in a vital spot.
“Clang Clang Clang!”
Arrow after arrow struck Su Changkong’s battle armor, sounding clear metallic collisions, but like rain on a banana leaf, each arrow sparked and was deflected, leaving Su Changkong unfazed by the attack.
As long as he wore this full suit of battle armor, even a thousand arrows shot at him would be like an itch he couldn’t feel—something he need not concern himself with!
He couldn’t afford to get entangled with these ordinary martial artists, wasting his strength! He needed to find Shi Zijian and slash him down!
Su Changkong’s eyes were cold and clear—he knew he was strong but still just one man. It was impossible to kill the more than a thousand members of the Black Cavalry Gang by himself; just the physical exhaustion would be enough to do him in. Capture the king to defeat the enemy—it was enough to kill Shi Zijian, leaving the Black Cavalry Gang leaderless and ready to fall apart!
His purpose here wasn’t to flatten the Black Cavalry Gang single-handedly but to assassinate their leader Shi Zijian!
“Rumble!”
With that thought, Su Changkong didn’t linger any longer. He stamped his foot, stepping over a few corpses and charged directly into the Black Cavalry Gang.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
“Over there! Stop him! Slaughter him!”
Within the Black Cavalry Gang, the earlier alarms had already stirred those who had been resting. In the stronghold, cries erupted from every direction as many martial artists gave chase and blockaded him.
Five Animal Frolics. Spinning Flying Crane!
Su Changkong was surrounded by a large group of martial artists, yet his expression remained calm. Even clad in heavy armor, his speed was not diminished, with movements like a dancing crane; as he maneuvered, he struck out with his fists and legs.
“Sss Sss Sss!”
In a succession of sounds of tearing flesh, the metal spikes on his knees and fists slashed through, accompanied by miserable screams. The Black Cavalry Gang martial artists around him retreated one after another, each with deep, bone-exposing wounds from which blood gushed like fountains.
“Clang Clang Clang!”
There were martial artists who gave it their all, frantically hacking at Su Changkong. However, blades that once could slit the bodies of formidable enemies could not make an impression upon Su Changkong!
“Where did this monster come from? That battle armor… it’s too extravagant!”
“How can you be so agile in such heavy armor? Is it Divine Strength Realm or Divine Bravery Stage?”
Many Black Cavalry Gang martial artists watched this scene with dread.
The armor worn by the figure was visibly heavy, but with it, he could still move freely and swiftly, showing that his martial arts cultivation was profound, definitely ranking among the top experts in Clearwater City!
