Chapter 34 (2/2)

The other party moved in a straight line, destroying everything in his way. Walls and trees crumbled wherever he went. He was like a heavy tank that had suddenly picked up speed. Because of his immense speed and weight, every step he took left a large crater on the ground.

The high-frequency vibrations from his footsteps created intense tremors that rippled through the surroundings, making others feel like there was an earthquake.

The other party hadn’t yet reached the room, but the fierce and explosive soundwaves from his footsteps had already assaulted Gao Xuan.

“100 meters a second… That’s quite fast!”

Gao Xuan estimated the other party’s speed. His opponent was slightly faster than him. Furthermore, the other party was equipped with exoskeleton armor that weighed several hundred pounds. The kinetic energy that such a high speed produced was rather terrifying.

It was no wonder that the other party was charging toward him in a straight line. It was rather troublesome to make turns at such a high speed. It would be a heavy burden on his body, and the exoskeleton armor would be heavily stressed.

The exoskeleton armor might crumble if the material on just one part of the armor was subpar.

Of course, this might also happen because the other party had been overcome with emotion and was activating the armor at full power, not even considering the problem of changing directions.

Six seconds later, a large hole was blasted open in the west wall of the villa. Through the dust and debris in the air, a towering black exoskeleton armor charged straight toward Gao Xuan.

This exoskeleton armor was 2.1 meters tall and was painted a matte black. It looked like ancient full-body armor. However, it was thicker and more angular. It made the armor look a little more technologically advanced.

There were thick oval plates at the shoulder, chest, and knees that made it look even more indestructible.

The fully-sealed helmet had a complex angular design and looked exceptionally hardy and authoritative.

This was a set of Battle Tiger Model Three exoskeleton armor. It weighed 420 pounds and was powered by a nuclear battery. It cost several million Credit Points to manufacture.

The Battle Tiger Model Three exoskeleton armor could be fitted with a variety of weapons based on what was needed in battle. It was a set of exoskeleton armor that was more suited for mid to short-range combat.

Usually, law enforcement teams responsible for maintaining order were equipped with this armor.

The front of the Battle Tiger Model Three’s helmet was translucent, which allowed Gao Xuan to see the wielder’s face.

The person who’d come was a muscular man with crass features and a sturdy disposition.

Gao Xuan had seen this man in his previous life. He was Zhao Yong, nicknamed Iron Tiger. He was the captain of Mingjing City’s special forces patrol team and was hailed as the most powerful person in the Mingjing military force.

Although this appellation might be a little bit of an exaggeration, it testified to how powerful Zhao Yong was.

Zhao Yong had a forceful personality and was abnormally violent against his opponents. He had notoriety in Mingjing City. He was also an important leader of the Black Dragon Association in Mingjing City.

Gao Xuan had planned to seek out trouble with the Black Dragon Association in a few days.

There was a Black Dragon Scale at the Black Dragon Association’s headquarters in Mingjing City. It was an Iron Grade Miracle Item and was said to be a scale that had come from the body of the Dragon of Darkness.

A person could create a layer of black dragon scales on their body and greatly boost their combat capabilities when they used the Black Dragon Scale. The effects were greater than exoskeleton armor.

There was always a Black Dragon Scale at the Black Dragon Association’s headquarters of every city.

In his previous life, Gao Xuan had partnered up with some people to snatch a Black Dragon Scale. When consumed, this item could even cause a person to become a half-dragon. The negative effect was that the person’s mind would also mutate.

The Black Dragon Scale was very suitable for Yun Qingshang. With the Black Dragon Scale as a buffer, she’d be able to break through to the Bronze Grade. It’d also be easier for her to absorb the Heavenly Dragon Blood when the time came.

Gao Xuan still put a lot of thought into arranging Yun Qingshang’s path of progression.

Furthermore, it was rumored that there was a pair of Cicada Wing Swords in the Black Dragon Association’s headquarters in Mingjing. That was what Gao Xuan urgently needed.

However, Gao Xuan didn’t know where the Black Dragon Association’s Mingjing headquarters were, so it was great that Zhao Yong had come. With him leading the way, he didn’t have to worry about getting lost.

Gao Xuan recognized Zhao Yong, but Zhao Yong didn’t recognize Gao Xuan.

The remote optical computer of Zhao Yong’s Battle Tiger Model Three had repeatedly scanned Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan didn’t have a smartwatch on him, which meant his identity couldn’t be ascertained. Furthermore, Gao Xuan had also changed his physical characteristics.

The body data that the remote optical computer had gathered wouldn’t find a match in the database of the citizens from the Eastern State.

“You coward!”

Zhao Yong didn’t mind that he wasn’t able to verify the other party’s identity. These assassins were always sneaky and wore various disguises. Without sufficient data, the remote optical computer wouldn’t be able to ascertain his identity.

That was fine. He’d soon know everything he needed to know about him when he captured the other party. That included information about his DNA.

Even though Zhao Yong planned on capturing his opponent alive, his attack was still extremely merciless.

The Battle Tiger Model Three exoskeleton armor charged directly toward Gao Xuan with extreme speed. Ten long, talon-like blades extended from its hands and scratched toward Gao Xuan.

Zhao Yong had the protection of the Battle Tiger exoskeleton armor and didn’t have to worry about defense. His attack was swift and ferocious.

The claws of the tiger hadn’t yet reached Gao Xuan, but the gust of wind from its sprint caused Gao Xuan’s clothes to flit about him, and he looked like he was about to be sent flying into the air.

Just as the claws of the tiger landed, Gao Xuan gently tapped the tip of the God Slaying Sword in his hand against them.

His attack was incredibly graceful, like a dragonfly skidding along the surface of a pond.

Without waiting for the fierce tiger’s claws’ power to burst forth, Gao Xuan made use of his strike to change his position like a fleeting illusion.

Zhao Yong couldn’t hold back his strength. He pounced past Gao Xuan with the Battle Tiger armor and blasted open the decorative rack and wall on the east side, then charged far away past the wall because of his momentum.

The bright red “M” mark on the wall also crumbled.
