Chapter 170 - 170 The More The Merrier
170 The More The Merrier
In terms of cultivation, Liu Hongshan was only one level higher than Lin Ran. However, for some reason, his realm pressure was abnormally powerful.
The pressure of the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm descended from the sky, causing Lin Ran’s internal energy to stop circulating for a moment.
At this moment, the armored man had already arrived in front of Lin Ran0. His hands were crossed, and his armor was already covered in a layer of cold light!
“He’s gonna get me killed this time.”
Lin Ran cursed in his heart as he activated the Mystic Gate Sword Technique crazily, but he didn’t have much hope of escaping.
Compared to the armored man’s slash, Lin Ran’s speed was a little too slow. Even if he could survive, he would probably have to leave a leg or an arm behind.
At the critical moment, a sword energy suddenly shot into the sky and swept past Lin Ran’s head. Then, it slashed heavily at the armored man’s face!
Clang—
With a crisp sound, sparks flew from the armored man’s face and landed on Lin Ran’s face, causing him to feel a sharp pain.
At the same time, the armored man was also knocked back by this strike. The cross-shaped air slash deviated and brushed past Lin Ran’s shoulder.
Perhaps it was because the feeling of being on the verge of death was too shocking.
After Lin Ras was out of danger, he was still standing rooted to the ground in a daze, dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Liu Hongshan hurriedly shouted, “This strike can’t kill him! Get out of there!”
“Oh! Okay!”
Lin Ran agreed and came back to his senses. In a flash, he appeared beside Liu Hongshan.
After confirming that Lin Ran was safe, Liu Hongshan heaved a sigh of relief. He pursed his lips and mocked, “I thought you were some big shot. Are you scared silly by such a small scene?”
Lin Ran forced a smile and didn’t say anything. There was still a hint of shock in his eyes.
Liu Hongshan thought that Lin Ran was scared out of his wits by the scene just now, but only Lin Ran knew that the reason why he was shocked just now was because he saw an unbelievable phenomenon…
The moment the armored man was hit in the face by Liu Hongshan, his armet was slightly lifted.
Although it was only for a moment, Lin Ran could still see it clearly with the help of the dazzling sparks. There was nothing under the armet. It was just a set of armor moving on its own.
How could Lin Ran not be shocked to find that the armor that beat the two Half-Saints up was actually empty?
As the two of them spoke, the armor had already stabilized itself. The two black holes on the visor looked at the two of them in the air and rushed forward again!
“You go left! I’ll go right!”
Liu Hongshan shouted and instantly rushed out. Seeing this, Lin Ran didn’t have time to think. He grabbed the Thunderball and followed suit.
The three of them confronted each other in the air.
This was the first time Lin Ran and Liu Hongshan had worked together, but the two of them were abnormally tacit!
The moment he approached the armor, Liu Hongshan suddenly activated a large amount of internal energy.
The violent internal energy fluctuation instantly attracted the attention of the armor. Lin Ran took the opportunity to move closer. A violent electric arc jumped on the surface of the Thunderball and Lin Ran used all his strength to slash at the neck of the armor.
Lin Ran firmly believed that no matter what it was, it would die once the head was off from its body.
With a crisp clang, the blade of Thunderball almost entered the neck of the armor.
However, perhaps because Lin Ran was not strong enough or the armor was too sturdy, the sword only cut through half of the armor’s neck before it stopped moving.
Seeing that the armor was about to counterattack, Lin Ran was about to abandon his sword and retreat when he heard Liu Hongshan shout, “Hold it!”
Lin Ran didn’t know what was going on, but he subconsciously tightened his grip on the hilt. He turned around and saw Liu Hongshan jump up in the air and kick the tip of Thunderball!
The power of the two Half-Saints overlapped, bringing Thunderball right through the neck of the armor like a knife cutting tofu!
The armet and visor were sent flying by the force. Lin Ran took the opportunity to look at the neck of the armor, and sure enough, it was empty.
In the next second, the armor that had lost its “head” fell from the sky.
“Not impressed.”
Liu Hongshan sneered. His expression had already relaxed, and it was obvious that he did not notice the abnormality of the armor.
Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before handing over Thunderball. “Take it. You need an extra sword to fight.”
Liu Hongshan glanced at Thunderball in front of him and suddenly looked suspicious. “Is this some kind of trick you are playing?”
“I’m doing this for your sake.”
Lin Ran replied coldly, staring at the headless armor that had fallen to the ground. “That thing is empty. I don’t think it will die so easily.”
“Empty?”
When Liu Hongshan heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he recalled that when the armor was beheaded, he did not even see a drop of blood. His expression immediately turned solemn.
At the same time, the headless armor on the ground suddenly trembled and stood up shakily like a drunkard.
Seeing this, Liu Hongshan no longer hesitated. He took the sword and thanked him. After a pause, he asked, “What do you use if you give me the sword? Don’t tell me you want me to charge in front?”
“I’m rich.”
Lin Ran smiled. With a flash of white light in his hand, a black and white divine sword appeared out of thin air. “I have plenty of such divine swords!”
Liu Hongshan looked at Thunderball, then at the Yin-Yang Sword, and finally at the Dragon Roar Dagger he was riding. “I value quality over quantity…”
“I’m sorry, but I believe the more the merrier.”
After saying that, Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and charged at the headless armor with his swords!
At this moment, the headless armor was still on the ground. Perhaps it was because it had lost its head or because it was affected by the lightning on Thunderball, but its movements were clearly not as smooth as before.
If they missed this opportunity and waited for the headless armor to recover, it would inevitably be a tough battle for the two of them!
Liu Hongshan also understood this logic. He did not say anything else and followed.
In an instant, the two of them arrived.
Lin Ran waved his hand and threw out Army Breaker. The slender sword instantly pierced through the chest of the headless armor and nailed it to the ground.
Then, Lin Ran held the Yin-Yang Sword with both hands, and a black and white Taiji pattern quietly took shape!
Liu Hongshan was also preparing at the same time. He let out a muffled shout, and countless violent lightning instantly wrapped around Thunderball!
However, just as the two of them were about to completely shatter the armor, a strong wind suddenly blew over.
Lin Ran’s expression instantly changed. From the corner of his eye, he saw several mud-yellow figures running towards them like ghosts!
