Chapter 139: Undefeated! Retreat!
Chapter 139: Undefeated! Retreat!
In the fierce battle, the whistling wind and the sound of metal echoed everywhere. Among them, only Ma Kuohai's screams echoed on the battlefield.
"Humph... This is unbelievable! Who on earth are you?!"
After several battles, Ma Kuohai was forced to retreat more than ten steps.
His eyes were full of disbelief as he stared at Jiang Zhong in front of him, marveling at the power of the emperor's armor.
As a fellow Armor Hero, he thought he could compete with Jiang Zhong, but the reality was cruel and despairing.
He had tried his best, but no matter how fiercely he attacked Jiang Zhong, he just stood there quietly, like an unshakable mountain.
The reason why Jiang Zhong was so calm was not because he was stupid or conceited, but because of his absolute confidence in his own strength.
He knew very well that Ma Kuohai, the summoner of the Tsunami Armor, could not shake him at all even if he tried his best.
The anger in Ma Kuohai's heart was like a burning fire, and he could not accept this reality.
It was undoubtedly a shame for him that the opponent allowed himself to attack so contemptuously and yet was still defeated in the end.
"On the scale of power, you are nothing but an insignificant speck of dust." Jiang Zhong stated calmly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.
"It's not that I'm too powerful, but that you have not yet touched the true power." Jiang Zhong smiled, holding the Aurora Sword, his tone revealing a calm confidence.
He swung the sword lightly, and a dark green light condensed at the tip of the sword. In the light, a huge "water" word could be faintly seen flashing.
Ma Kuohai's heart sank when he saw this. He knew very well that the power contained in this light and shadow was not ordinary, and it was probably some kind of powerful killer move. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind not to retreat easily.
"Hmph, don't think you're the only one with a special trick." Ma Kuohai took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that if he chose to escape at this moment, not only would he lose face, but his opponent would also look down on him.
Therefore, he decided to give it a try and use his own unique skills to meet the opponent's challenge.
He slowly squatted down, opened his arms, as if to embrace the whole world. He gathered all his strength, ready to release his ultimate move.
However, similar to the previous experience, the powerful force seemed to lose its response at this moment.
"Damn it! How could this happen?" Ma Kuohai growled angrily. He felt an unprecedented sense of despair and powerlessness. Facing such a powerful opponent, he was unable to use his special moves.
At this moment, he felt unprecedented frustration.
As Jiang Zhong moved, the Aurora Sword in his hand accurately touched the light and shadow of the word "water".
Then, the light and shadow seemed to be activated, and instantly turned into countless sharp ice spikes, densely piercing around.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down, and the cold air surged in like a tide, making people shudder.
Those ice spikes flashed coldly in the sunlight, like messengers of death brought from an extremely cold land.
Ma Kuohai stood opposite the ice spikes. Although he was wearing the Tsunami armor, he could still feel the biting cold. He looked at the flying ice spikes, and his heart was filled with despair.
He was well aware of the power of these ice spikes. Once hit, even his powerful armor would be unable to withstand it.
"I have many special skills, and this is just one of them." Jiang Zhong's voice echoed on the battlefield, with a hint of contempt and ridicule.
"The Emperor's Furious Waterfall!"
With his loud shout, the ice spikes seemed to be given life and shot towards Ma Kuohai at a faster speed.
The corners of Ma Kuohai's mouth twitched. He looked at his empty hands, his heart filled with frustration and helplessness.
He thought this battle would be a evenly matched showdown, but he didn't expect it to end like this.
Faced with the impending ice spikes, Ma Kuohai closed his eyes and gave up struggling.
He knew that he was powerless to turn the situation around and could only wait for the battle to end. His heart was filled with regret and unwillingness.
......
When everyone thought the battle was about to end, an accident happened.
"Stop!" A loud shout broke the silence at the scene. Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the darkness and blocked Ma Kuohai's way.
This was the cold-blooded man who had been hiding in the dark. He transformed without hesitation and used his body to fight against the ice spikes that were about to pierce Ma Kuohai.
"Ugh!!" The cold-blooded roar was full of strength and determination. He used his Oxer power to build a barrier, trying to resist those cold attacks.
He immediately shouted to Ma Kuohai behind him in a low voice: "Second Young Master! Don't just stand there!!"
When Ma Kuohai heard Leng Xue's voice, he immediately became alert. He knew that he couldn't just give up, and he couldn't let Leng Xue sacrifice himself.
He quickly gathered the energy in his body and built a stronger defense together with Leng Xue.
"Whirlpool Defense!!!"
Following Ma Kuohai's loud shout, a powerful energy burst out from both of them, forming a rotating vortex-shaped protective shield.
......
Although Ma Kuohai and Leng Xue tried their best, they were ultimately unable to withstand the fierce attack of the ice spikes.
The defense was destroyed in an instant, and the remaining ice spikes pierced into the bodies of the two people like a rainstorm. The shrill screams echoed on the battlefield, making people panic.
The ice spikes gradually disappeared, leaving behind two wounded warriors. Ma Kuohai lay on the ground in pain, without even the strength to stand up. His Tsunami armor was covered with cracks, as if it could break at any time.
Although Leng Xue was barely standing, he was shaking all over and was obviously seriously injured. Seeing that Ma Kuohai was in such a bad condition, he was extremely anxious and hurriedly tried to help him up.
“Ah…Damn it!!!”
Leng Xue gnashed his teeth, his heart filled with resentment and anger. They thought they could withstand this attack, but they didn't expect the result to be so tragic.
......
"The appearance of this armor is beyond our expectations!"
Li Xiaochou held a delicate little fan in his hand, staring intently at the fierce battle scene in the distance, and whispered comments to Li Zi beside him.
The two men hid quietly in the dark, originally confident that everything was under control. However, Jiang Zhong's unexpected appearance and the terrifying strength he displayed undoubtedly brought a subversive turn to their plan.
Li Zi secretly glanced at Li Xiaochou beside him and asked tentatively: "Boss Li, I'm afraid our plan this time is no longer sustainable, right?"
Li Xiaochou nodded slightly, a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face, but it was instantly replaced by a determined look.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "For this armor, we must re-plan and formulate a more thorough and impeccable plan."
Li Zi immediately understood Li Xiaochou's intention, quickly took out a sophisticated device from his pocket, and pressed the start button without hesitation.
With a burst of rapid buzzing sounds, brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed in the distant sky. These fireworks bloomed in the night sky, like blooming flowers, embellishing the dark sky with colorful colors.
This was not an ordinary celebratory firework, but a pre-set retreat signal. Li Xiaochou and Li Zi quickly evacuated the observation point, knowing that a more severe challenge would be waiting for them.
......
Although he was unwilling to give up, Leng Xue realized that the current situation did not allow him to continue fighting after seeing the fireworks signal. He quickly and calmly helped the seriously injured Ma Kuohai up and resolutely chose to retreat.
The two figures quickly disappeared into the vast night, leaving behind only the cold corpse of Skeleton Oxer and chaos on the battlefield.
Jiang Zhong looked at their departing backs from afar, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was quite appreciative of their quick retreat.
At the same time, he also noticed Ma Qingshan's quiet disappearance, which made him feel a little surprised, but he did not dwell on it too much.
He returned to his human form, put his hands casually in his trouser pockets, and walked calmly towards where Ma Lingling and others were.
......
"Phew, thank goodness, everything is fine." Ma Lingling glanced around and confirmed that Duanmu Yan and Jiang Zhong were both safe and sound. The tension and anxiety in her heart instantly dissipated.
However, when she recalled Ma Qingshan's quietly leaving back, a feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart again.
She quickly took out her cell phone, slid her fingertips across the screen, and dialed Ma Qingshan's number. The ringtone rang only a few times before Ma Qingshan's voice came from the other end of the phone, although it was a little hoarse and tired.
"Hello, Lingling? I'm home safely. How about you? Is everything okay?" There was a hint of warmth in Ma Qingshan's voice.
Hearing her brother's voice, Ma Lingling's worries were slightly relieved, but she still keenly caught the strangeness in his voice: "Brother, you don't sound very well, is there something wrong with your body?"
Ma Qingshan was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, as if he was considering whether he should tell his sister the truth. Finally, he took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Actually... my body hasn't recovered yet! Ahem..."
Hearing this, Ma Lingling's heart tightened, and she quickly put the phone close to her ear and lowered her voice, "Brother, I understand. Then you must have a good rest and don't let yourself get too tired."
However, at this moment, the coughing sound on the other end of the phone suddenly became rapid, as if Ma Qingshan was deliberately concealing his discomfort.
He quickly said "I'll pay attention" and hung up the phone.
"Beep, beep..." Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Ma Lingling felt an indescribable worry in her heart. She stared at the screen of her phone, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
Her brother's physical condition seemed to be getting worse, and she had to find a chance to have a good talk with him and see if she could find any way to help him recover.
