Chapter 438 - Big Sister, This Is All A Misunderstanding! (1/2)

So this is what battle armor is like! Attack and defense are one and the same! Tang Wulin could feel the battle armor mitigating the destructive might of his claw, spreading the force evenly from Yan Feng's gauntlet to the rest of her armor. The crus.h.i.+ng effect couldn't even come into play.

Even with Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens and his one-word gauntlet, Tang Wulin's strength only reached that of the peak of four rings. He was no match for a battle armor master clad in a full set of one-word battle armor!

As this realization hit Tang Wulin, Yan Feng retaliated. Now blazing like a miniature sun, the phoenix emblem on her breastplate suddenly burst with energy. A transparent phoenix erupted from the emblem! At the same time, the flaming gourd above Feng Yan's head suddenly turned to Tang Wulin. One of the woman's soul rings lit up and her gourd spewed a gold-tinged fireball!

Tang Wulin reacted immediately, bending his arm in an attempt to transition his crus.h.i.+ng grip into a throw. If there was one thing he had confidence in, it was his strength. A strand of bluesilver gra.s.s wound around his legs and drilled into the ground. It acted as an anchor, helping him pivot in place. But none of this allowed him to avoid the fireball and phoenix!

All of a sudden, an ice spear pierced the phoenix! It exploded in flames, the resulting blast sending Tang Wulin flying. Ye Xinglan walked forward, conjuring a net of sword beams that flew out to protect Tang Wulin from the fireball that pursued. It splashed against the net, dispersing and dissipating into nothing.

Her soul power is on a completely different level! Even under the effects of bloodthirst, Tang Wulin still had to endure the agonizing pain that the flames scorched into his body. In terms of combat experience and combat techniques, he and his team could stand toe-to-toe with Yan Feng. However, the fundamental difference in cultivation level was too great a hurdle to overcome with just experience and technique. Furthermore, with a full set of battle armor her defense was impenetrable.

Xie Xie silently appeared behind Yan Feng and slashed at her shoulders with his daggers. However, the woman's armor simply released a blast of flame, sending him staggering in retreat.

Tang Wulin gaped at her overwhelming might. She was setting the pace of the battle now.

How are we supposed to beat her?

A brilliant burst of color suddenly interrupted Tang Wulin's thoughts. A fist-sized ball of blue, red, yellow, and green light shot through the air, bearing down upon Yan Feng in an instant. The woman didn't dare hold anything back. Her fourth soul ring lit up and the gourd spit out golden-red fireb.a.l.l.s in rapid succession. The fireb.a.l.l.s hurtled toward the quad-colored ball of light one after another, the two forces exploding into an elemental storm upon contact.

Tang Wulin lay on the ground, hurriedly using the Mysterious Heaven Method to counteract the burning sensation running rampant throughout his body. His body was strong and he hadn't received any real injuries, but as he watched Gu Yue face off against Yan Feng, he came to understand just how impossible it would be to seize victory. After persisting for about five seconds, the elemental storm began to die. The air slowly cleared, and Yan Feng stood in the same place, just as imposing as before. There wasn't a single scratch on her or her armor.

And the gourd turned back to Tang Wulin.

“B-big Sister! Th-this is all a misunderstanding!” Tang Wulin stuttered through a strained smile.

At that moment, an ear-piercing alarm filled the air. Three yellow mechas flew over and slowed to hover above everyone. A droning voice echoed from the lead mecha. “Halt!”

Yan Feng froze just before she attacked, the gourd turning away from Tang Wulin to point up at the sky. She snorted then turned to glare at Tang Wulin, the leader of her ambushers. To her astonishment however, he wore a face full of indignation. The three mechas descended to separate Yan Feng from Tang Wulin's group, their ten-meter-tall bulks causing the earth to rumble. Xu Xiaoyan grabbed on to Ye Xinglan's arm, hid behind her, and began to cry. Xie Xie lowered his head, a gloomy expression on his face. Ye Xinglan just stared straight ahead in a daze. Xu Lizhi crouched to the ground with his back to everyone else. Gu Yue remained expressionless, but light twinkled in her eyes.

Tang Wulin stood up straight and pulled Gu Yue behind him, the anger in his eyes growing hotter. “Enforcers! You came just in time to save us! If you had taken just a second longer, she would have killed us!”

“Huh?” Yan Feng was speechless. She was the one who had been attacked!

The leader of the enforcers turned to Yan Feng. “What's going on here? Why are you attacking these kids? Wait... are you a one-word battle armor master?”

Yan Feng had just registered as a one-word battle armor master before this incident, so the enforcers didn't recognize her. However, when they realized she was a one-word battle armor master, they became vigilant. They may have had three mechas, but all three were yellow grade and wouldn't stand a chance against her.
