Chapter 749: Chapter 748: Golden Armor Guard
Sword Qi sliced through twenty-six disabled human figures, only shattering their surface blade Qi, which was also because Shi Xiaole hadn’t used his full strength.
With a certain fury in his eyes, the three fastest disabled figures, all of top Fifth Tier level, rushed into the left, right, and upper walls respectively. When they re-emerged, they were in front of Shi Xiaole.
Three powerful blade glows instantly lit up, and at the tips of the blade glows were the heads of the three disabled figures.
"Not good!"
Duanmu Keren had to admit, she still underestimated their speed. Before her power could be restored, it was impossible for her to assist Shi Xiaole. She might even hold him back.
Mu Ling could see the trajectories of the three, but his reaction was even slower than Duanmu Keren’s.
The two subconsciously gripped the secret weapons in their hands.
"Come on."
Under the onslaught of three blade glows, Shi Xiaole still had spare mental capacity to analyze and plan a counterattack. He quickly came up with a route, gripping his sword in both hands, and boldly attacked straight on.
A swish -
Two overlapping sword glows appeared out of thin air, passing through the gaps in the three blade glows. Their end point was behind the blade glow on the left.
Crackling sounds -
Mechanical parts mixed with flesh exploded, a top Fifth Tier disabled figure was killed instantly.
"What?!"
Duanmu Keren and Mu Ling, who were about to deploy their secret weapons, paused at the same time, almost doubting their own eyes.
If it were in the outside world, they would be shocked by Shi Xiaole’s ability to do all this. But here, it was absolutely horrifying.
They all knew there was a natural suppression within the hall, their own power wasn’t as potent as before. Otherwise, with the combat prowess of the three monsters, they would not be in such a dire state. The two couldn’t understand how Shi Xiaole managed to do it.
Seeing his method of exerting power, it seemed somewhat similar to that of the disabled figures. Could it be that he has been imitating them?
After slaying one enemy with a single sword strike, Shi Xiaole’s sword momentum changed, like a surprise rainbow sword light, directly piercing through the east side. It skewered a whole row of seven disabled figures.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom -
Seven plumes of blood mist exploded one after another.
At this moment, the words ’Young Master is back’, shouted by Gui Fuling, had just landed.
"This person..."
Gui Fuling’s eyes couldn’t help but widen, and her pretty face was full of surprise.
She knew the identities of Duanmu Keren and Mu Ling, and by looking at Shi Xiaole’s appearance, she had a suspicion in her heart. But compared to the rumors, the latter was too strong, even stronger than her own junior.
"Body-Sword Integration and Body-Blade Integration follow the same principle, subtlety embodying a certain law, so to a large extent, they bypass the hall’s suppression."
Only Shi Xiaole knew that his power was not as strong as everyone thought. The reason he could easily suppress his opponent was mostly because he avoided the influence of the Array System.
Without hesitation, Shi Xiaole pushed off the wall with both feet and advanced again.
The disabled human figures, lacking fearful thoughts and not understanding retreat, were cleanly slain by Shi Xiaole after a few attempts, leaving only scraps on the ground.
"Thank goodness I got here in time. Are you all okay?"
Sheathing his sword, Shi Xiaole asked.
Yuan Yuying stared blankly: "Brother Shi, why is it that every time I see you, you’re different from the last time? People measure growth in years and months, but you, in days."
This wasn’t flattery, but Yuan Yuying’s sincere thought.
I remember when we first met, he depended on his secret move to defeat Shen Canghai, his attack power was at most at the top Fourth Tier level. And now, he could easily slay a top Fifth Tier Earth Immortal.
In less than half a year, Shi Xiaole’s progress had equaled others’ ten years, even decades.
Is he even human?
Shi Xiaole laughed, but others’ blatant praise made him somewhat embarrassed. Without delay, he addressed Gui Zhihang who was about to speak, "Brother Gui, we can’t stay here long, we must find the exit as soon as possible."
Gui Zhihang gave Shi Xiaole a deep look and nodded.
Free of concern this time, the three monsters calmly sat down to recover. Although some more disabled figures appeared in the middle, none of them were a match for Shi Xiaole, he easily dispatched them.
In his spare time, Shi Xiaole picked up the blade Qi crystals from the ground, preparing to comprehend them after getting out.
"Thank you, Young Master Shi."
A beautiful and gentle voice reached his ears.
Shi Xiaole turned his head and saw Gui Fuling standing not far away, she didn’t come closer.
She was very observant, she must have been afraid of disturbing him, so she held back her words for the past two 2-hour periods, only speaking when she was sure there was no more danger.
"I’m friends with Brother Gui and the others, helping out is only natural."
Shi Xiaole said.
Studying Gui Fuling’s face closely, aside from admiring her rare beauty, Shi Xiaole suddenly discovered something strange and thus asked, "Do you know how Brother Liu is doing?"
Gui Fuling replied, "I don’t know. When I chased to this place, I couldn’t see Young Master Liu’s figure anymore."
Shi Xiaole nodded his head.
There wasn’t a trace of sadness in her expression, even her tone was very calm. It seemed that she did not have deep feelings for Liu Hanshan.
But if that was the case, why did she risk her life to chase here?
Who were those mysterious people?
Knowing about this place, could they be descendants of the Blade Slaves Sect?
Questions flooded his heart. After some time, Shi Xiaole chuckled to himself, wondering why he was bothering with these thoughts. Their meeting this time was purely coincidental, and what relationship did it have with him afterwards?
About two 2-hour periods later, the three big monsters got up one after another. Judging by their appearance, they had at least recovered eighty to ninety percent of their power.
"We have found the person, this is not a place to stay for a long time. Old Shi, let’s join forces to find the flaw in the Array System and escape as quickly as possible."
Mu Ling, who had just stood up, couldn’t wait to say.
"Old Shi?"
Shi Xiaole raised his eyebrows.
He didn’t notice, but both Duanmu Keren and Gui Zhihang had expressions of surprise on their faces.
No one understood Mu Ling’s haughty character more than they did, and his attitude towards people could be reflected through his words.
For instance, he called Duanmu Keren, Big Sister Duanmu, and Gui Zhihang, Old Turtle. But this "Old Shi" represented that he truly considered Shi Xiaole as a friend.
Indeed, it was the rarest thing in the world to have friends who would risk their lives for each other. After experiencing this incident, they now share a bond forged in the face of life and death.
Unconsciously, warmth flooded the hearts of Duanmu Keren and Gui Zhihang.
Qiao Yu, on the side, was silently observing, his heart filled with emotions.
The four big monsters of today were no longer just a community of honor, but a true small group. The impact they would bring upon the Martial World was unknown.
Under the joint efforts of Shi Xiaole and Mu Ling, it took them a day and a night to find the loophole in the Array System.
Following the indicated direction, Shi Xiaole took the lead with the three big monsters assisting. After not-too-difficult bouts of fights, they finally broke out of the array.
Looking at the surrounding verdant mountains shrouded in fog, everyone felt a strange sensation as if they had been reborn.
"Thankfully, this place is merely a branch of the Blade Slaves Sect. The experts here are not too powerful, otherwise we would never have gotten out."
Hua Yiyun hugged Yuan Yuying tightly.
The latter quietly gave him a kiss, whispering, "Big Brother Hua, it’s wonderful to have you with me!"
Qiao Yu promptly teased the pair, suggesting they take their romance somewhere else, which made Yuan Yuying’s face turn red. Everyone laughed, lightening the previously tense atmosphere.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
A series of sharp wind-breaking sounds suddenly rang out.
Several figures shot towards them from a distance and swiftly landed before them.
Subconsciously, Shi Xiaole’s gaze fell on the man standing in the middle of the group.
This man was tall and broad, wearing a four-cornered hat, with a uniform saber hanging from his waist. What was more eye-catching was his long robe, gold with black edges, and embroidered with swords and blades on the chest.
A Golden Armor Guard!
Only the Golden Armor Guards of the Flying Horse Dynasty could wear such uniforms.
Ordinary people might be unaware of the top powers in the Martial World, but they definitely knew about the Golden Armor Guards.
Because they are the current emperor’s sharp sword, directly under the imperial command, responsible for gathering intelligence, stabilizing people’s lives, and even had the power to act first and report later!
Even the strongest martial artists in the Martial World would avoid the Golden Armor Guards when they saw them, keeping a respectful distance, not wanting to get too deeply involved with them.
Shi Xiaole had been roaming the Martial World for so long, but this was his first encounter with a Golden Armor Guard.
Behind the leading man dressed in golden armor, there were three others outfitted the same way, as well as four elderly men dressed in simple clothes.
"Young Master, Miss, it’s wonderful that you are safe."
The four elderly men dressed in simple clothes moved forward excitedly.
Sister and brother Gui Fuling greeted them. It turned out they were elders of the Gui Family.
Shi Xiaole suddenly noticed, the golden-armored man at the front, his gaze was continuously wandering over Gui Fuling. His look was not lustful, but rather complex.
