Chapter 1073: Armor That Shook Mountains
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For some reason, when Lu Shu brought the Wei Wu Army back to Earth, even after the Wei Wu Army had defeated their enemies, the Heavenly Network was still uneasy.
They had no way to determine what exactly the Wei Wu Army was doing, and what objectives they had. After all, they had not made any deals with the Wei Wu Army. They did not know their natural disposition. Furthermore, they were very strong.
But the moment Lu Shu appeared, they calmed down, as they knew that the overall situation had been settled. Although they could not determine whether the Wei Wu Army was on their side, they could confirm that Lu Shu was.
After so many years, everyone understood Lu Shu’s natural disposition.
Although he was rather rude at times, he was always reliable.
When Li Yixiao saw the magical armor on the bodies of the Wei Wu Army soldiers, his eyes lit up. There were so many sets of magical armor! Lu Shu had probably earned big money in the Luniverse!
Chen Baili pointed to the south. “Princ.i.p.al Nie and Heavenly King s.h.i.+ headed in that direction. Be careful. There are three enemy Shen Cang Jing’s. I think that I don’t have to elaborate. You know them better than we do.”
“Heavenly King s.h.i.+?” Lu Shu was dumbfounded. His impression of s.h.i.+ Xuejin was that of a person who made pancakes in the courtyard at the Capital. Why was he on the battlefield?
Chen Zuan explained, “When the Black Feather Army infiltrated the Earth for the first time, Mama s.h.i.+ advanced to Shen Cang Jing in just four steps…”
Chen Baili, who was beside him, slapped the back of his head. “Who allowed you to give Heavenly King s.h.i.+ nicknames?”
Chen Zuan felt that he had been treated unfairly. “I wasn’t the first one who did it. I learnt it from someone else.”
Chen Baili slapped the back of his head once again. “Why can’t you learn better things?!”
Chen Zuan was speechless. Even though he was ferocious and had advanced to Cla.s.s A, his granduncle was still his granduncle!
Lu Shu gasped in shock. Was s.h.i.+ Xuejin so fierce now?
When the others saw Lu Shu’s reaction, they were very calm, as they had the same reaction back then.
Everyone had a similar impression of s.h.i.+ Xuejin. A majority of the training techniques in the Heavenly Network had been created by s.h.i.+ Xuejin, but s.h.i.+ Xuejin was just an ordinary person. Thus, everyone saw s.h.i.+ Xuejin as the first “researcher” in the Heavenly Network. No one thought that he would become one of their top powers overnight.
This difference was far too large. It was rather difficult to accept!
To be honest, Lu Shu respected s.h.i.+ Xuejin, as he knew how much loneliness s.h.i.+ Xuejin had to endure before reaching this stage.
But it was still fine. Nie Ting understood and supported him.
Lu Shu nodded his head and flew to the south, while Lu Xiaoyu went underground and followed him. Zhang Weiyu saw that victory was in their hands and led the Imperial Dragon Soldiers to follow Lu Shu.
Duanmu Huangqi was a thorn in Lu Shu’s flesh. Duanmu Huangqi probably thought the same, but he definitely did not think that the Wei Wu Army and Lu Shu would become the straw that broke his back!
Furthermore, this straw was rather rough!
The Flood of Bronze watched as the Imperial Dragon Soldiers followed Lu Shu and flew to the south. This scene was shocking, as the strength of the Wei Wu Army had far exceeded their expectations.
Lu Shu did not panic. He had wanted to use the Imperial Dragon Soldiers to deal with the three masters. Although their chance of winning was very low, they still had a chance.
His wish of working together with Nie Ting to eliminate the three masters from the West Region had come true. Furthermore, s.h.i.+ Xuejin had given him a big surprise.
Thus, with the entire Wei Wu Army up against a master, Lu Shu felt that they would be able to win with ease!
As they flew, they could see collapsed mountains and split rivers everywhere. The peaks of mountains were broken. Roads had been devastated. River beds had been destroyed. These were the effects of a master attacking. If there had been civilians here, they would have died.
Lu Shu felt that it was time to end this war. If they continued to fight like this, they would bring ma.s.sive harm to the Earth. According to Lu Shu, he had returned home. He wanted to live a peaceful life, not continue to fight and kill.
With a master like Duanmu Huangqi focused on him, Lu Shu felt that he could not live his days well. He would not be able to carry out his ideas.
Before long, Lu Shu could sense strong waves of energy. The waves of energy produced by a fight between masters surged like a tsunami. Lu Shu’s expression grew serious. “Be careful. Kill Duanmu Huangqi first.”
“Yes.” Zhang Weiyu and the rest answered in unison. They went into formation behind Lu Shu. The black armor that had been stolen from the soldiers of the sea seemed to exist to win from a position of weakness.
When typical Rank Ones wore the armor, it was simply more durable than normal magical armor. But when dozens of Rank Ones wore the armor, they could attack experts who were stronger than them.
Lu Shu could see s.h.i.+ Xuejin protecting Nie Ting in the distance. He blocked the fatal attacks from the three masters, while Nie Ting continued to press forward, as if he did not have any worries.
When Lu Shu and the rest flew closer, they sensed that the cooperation between Nie Ting and s.h.i.+ Xuejin was flawless. One attacked, while the other defended. Nie Ting naturally had murderous intent. He preferred to defend by attacking. On the other hand, s.h.i.+ Xuejin was more steady and did things in a systematic manner.
In the past, Nie Ting killed people at the speed of lightning. He had never met any evenly-matched opponents. Even if the masters from the West Region fought alone, they would have died very quickly.
But once the number of enemies increased, Nie Ting’s weakness was exposed. He did not have enough defensive tactics.
But now, s.h.i.+ Xuejin was beside Nie Ting. He fiercely protected Nie Ting. Nie Ting did not have to think about guarding himself. He could focus on killing. His ferocity seemed to engulf the heaven and the earth!
Even Lu Shu was scared when he saw this. The current Nie Ting was frightening. He was at his full power.
But it was not the time to think about this. Lu Shu lead Zhang Weiyu and the rest, creating a formation. He had worn the black armor in order to protect himself. The Rank One experts clad in black armor seemed to form a whole.
Suddenly, an unexpected event occurred. When Duanmu Huangqi saw Lu Shu and the rest, he stopped and led the two other masters to retreat. “The armor that shakes mountains! Why is it in your hands?”
Duanmu Huangqi seemed to be afraid, but he was not afraid of the armor that Lu Shu and the rest were wearing. They were afraid of the people in the armor!
The armor that shakes mountains? Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Was there a history behind this armor? Back then, he had asked Zhang Weiyu and the rest about this, but they had never seen the armor. However, Duanmu Huangqi recognized it!
