Chapter 35: The Li Dynasty (11)
Su Chen sensed a terrifying aura lock onto him—there was nowhere to retreat, nowhere to dodge. This was a force capable of killing him outright.
"This must be the Spirit Martial Hall's trump card—the King-Slaying Arrow. Legend says it can kill a true Profound Connection Realm king!"
Su Chen recalled the records he had read about the Spirit Martial Hall. He had once dismissed it as a mere myth. Clearly, it was not.
The Spirit Martial Hall dared to carve out a third of the realm precisely because they possessed such a hidden ace. But… if the Spirit Martial Hall had a trump card, how could the Li Clan possibly lack one?
"Imperial Apex War Armor!"
Golden streams of qi surged across the sky, coalescing into a sacred, radiant golden suit of armor that enveloped Su Chen's body. This was the deepest foundation of the Li faction, forged by none other than Ancestor Li Shenhua himself and left behind to protect his descendants. It was precisely this armor that had allowed the Great Ancestor to defeat the Heavenly Wind King.
Clad in the Imperial Apex War Armor, Su Chen had never felt such overwhelming power. It was as though a single punch from him could shatter heaven and earth. For a fleeting moment, he even had the absurd illusion that he could slay a god.
The collision between the King-Slaying Arrow and the Imperial Apex War Armor shook the land for thousands of miles.
A blinding white light erupted. Even Spirit Soul Realm cultivators could see nothing through the glare. Yet when the clash between trump cards concluded, victory belonged to Su Chen. The armor over his chest shattered into fragments. Blood bathed his body. In the sunlight, he revealed a brilliant, defiant smile.
