Chapter 73 - 63 Spirit Armor

Chapter 73: Chapter 63 Spirit Armor

The horse thief leader named Xia Jingjue on the opposite side was still shouting loudly: "Which friend wants to see our Lord Xu? Please show yourself!"

And Liu Suiyun's attention was completely focused on the heavy cavalryman who exuded a dangerous aura.

That was a real spiritual armor. Within several feet around him was an empty space. The horse thieves all knowingly stayed far away.

The knight on the horse, although his face and figure could not be clearly seen, was wearing a heavy silver armor, protecting his entire body completely. Even his face was hidden in the helmet. And the warhorse under him was also a pure white horse without a single Miscellaneous hair. It was also wearing a silver horse armor, and even the horse gear and saddle were pure silver.

This is the legendary fully armored cavalry, always the most terrifying enemy on the battlefield. But the truly terrifying thing lies in the fact that the heavy armor worn by this rider is not an ordinary heavy armor but a real spiritual armor.

Real spiritual armor!

Like the Immortal-destroying Arrows that Liu Suiyun often encountered, spiritual armor is a kind of immortal spiritual weapon developed by a certain sect to arm Taoist soldiers. Eventually, it is equipped on warriors to deal with cultivators.

But unlike the Immortal-destroying Arrows, which are regarded as failures, spiritual armor is an extremely successful design. Warriors who were completely passive and beaten under various Taoist arts immediately become real powerful enemies of cultivators after putting on spiritual armor.

Like fully armored cavalry, warriors wearing spiritual armor have astonishing defensive power. This defensive power is not only against the attacks of warriors but also against all kinds of Taoist arts. Many low-level Taoist arts hitting the warriors in spiritual armor are just like drizzles.

What makes cultivators even more depressed is that in the past, when facing the charge of fully armored warriors, cultivators had many extremely practical Taoist arts that could be used. For example, Liu Suiyun once directly defeated the entire Iron Wing Fortress array set up by the Pang family with aChaoyang Divine Thunder. But when these Taoist arts are used on warriors in spiritual armor, the effect is greatly reduced.

Moreover, spiritual armor also endows warriors with many incredible powers. According to a cultivator in Jiazhou market, "Have you ever seen a warrior who can use the Rejuvenation Art? Have you ever seen a warrior who can use the Lightning-attracting Art? Have you ever seen a warrior who can disappear without a trace? Damn it! I have seen all of them. Damn it. This spiritual armor is actually something made by our cultivators. Which bastard made it? It's really like lifting a rock and hitting one's own foot. One has dug a pit for oneself."

This spiritual armor is a spiritual tool designed and manufactured by cultivators. But in a sense, the spiritual tools created by cultivators eventually pose a fatal threat to cultivators themselves. No one knows how many cultivators have died in front of spiritual armor.

Fortunately, spiritual armor is not like the common Immortal-destroying Arrows. Cultivators go through all kinds of hardships and consume countless spiritual materials and energy. After experiencing many failures, they can only attract the Nine Yin Heavenly Fire to refine one or two sets. Liu Suiyun doesn't know the specific price, but he also knows that this thing cannot be bought with just a few hundred spirit stones.

In many famous families, a real spiritual armor is continuously passed down as a real family heirloom and the symbol of the entire family for generations. When the Pang family dominated Tianji County back then, a generation could even cultivate two Foundation Establishment cultivators. But they only had one spiritual armor in their family.

This spiritual armor was destroyed in the excessive arrogance of the Pang family. They actually handed this spiritual armor to an inexperienced warrior and threw him into the battlefield alone. There was neither the cover of warriors nor the support of cultivators. This newcomer directly charged recklessly into the high mountains and steep ridges of Tianji County and was finally defeated by the dense and continuous offensive. This can be said to be one of the biggest setbacks suffered by the Pang family in the early stage.

Even now, Liu Suiyun still vividly remembers the danger of that battle. In order to defeat that spiritual armor that couldn't be defeated no matter what, they had paid the price of 160 casualties. There were as many as 90 fatalities.

After the battle, many of Liu Suiyun's best friends lost the courage to continue to confront the Pang family. If it weren't for the almost childish decisions of the Pang family next, perhaps the one-and-a-half-year-long battle in Panggu might have ended a year earlier.

And this silver spiritual armor also put extraordinary pressure on Liu Suiyun. Although the owner of the battle armor didn't say a word and remained motionless on the horse, Liu Suiyun felt that this spiritual armor would bring earth-shaking power at any time. It could defeat thousands of troops and be invincible. What was even more uncomfortable than the pressure was a sense of strangeness after a long estrangement.

Seeing that there was no response from the carriage over there, Xia Jingjue had already lifted his long spear and asked, "Which old friend of Lord Xu is it? Why not show yourself? If you continue to be mysterious, don't blame Xia for being impolite with this Overlord Spear!"

Liu Suiyun finally casually lifted the carriage curtain. The golden sunlight spilled into the carriage. He casually said, "It's me! Where is Lao Xu?"

Liu Suiyun's appearance made these horse thieves stir. They only saw a handsome but sunny young man with a calm and composed demeanor appear in their sight. For most horse thieves, this was a strange face. But several extremely experienced horse thieves, including Xia Jingjue, immediately jumped off their horses and respectfully called out, "Commander!"

The owner of the spiritual armor that Liu Suiyun was most concerned about obviously also noticed this unexpected change. He casually put away the silver spear more than ten feet long in his hand behind his back: "May I ask which uncle has come? I will first ask uncle on behalf of Zhaori."

As she spoke, she had already taken off the shining silver helmet and revealed her original face. Different from what Liu Suiyun had imagined, the knight who controlled the spiritual armor was not a fierce and unparalleled big man like Xia Jingjue or Huo Qianshu. Instead, she was a young girl with long hair draped over her shoulders.

The owner of the spiritual armor spoke softly. She had a beautiful face, noble and elegant temperament with a hint of reserve. She was impeccable in treating others. She was actually a rare classical beauty.

Before Liu Suiyun could speak, Xia Jingjue over there had already knelt on the ground directly. While performing a great salute to Liu Suiyun, he introduced, "This is our Star Commander!"

"Star Ruyü?"

The girl in spiritual armor had already brandished a silver spear towards Liu Suiyun and made a spear flourish: "You went home. What are you doing here? This is Tianma Plain of my Zhaori!"

Liu Suiyun was quite curious about this strange typical girl. He glanced at Xia Jingjue. This old subordinate immediately told him the girl's true identity: "This is the fiancée of Brother Xu Zhaori, Guo Huijun! Miss Guo, our commander is a hero in this world. Why can't he come to Tianma Plain!"

As soon as Xia Jingjue said this, several old subordinates present nodded continuously. Although there were not many of them, they were all team leaders. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little tense.

Liu Suiyun couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand: "Don't worry. I'm just here to see old friends. I'm not here to poach Lao Xu's corner?"

But as soon as these words were spoken, Guo Huijun on the opposite side had already urged her horse and raised her spear. The silver spear pointed directly at Liu Suiyun: "What are you talking about?"

What a fierce killing intent!

This was Liu Suiyun's only feeling. He only felt that this girl actually carried endless killing intent. The pressure she brought was no less than the pressure brought by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With silver helmet, silver armor, and silver spear, white horse and plain clothes, Guo Huijun was indeed an extremely beautiful girl. But at this moment, Liu Suiyun really felt what it meant to defeat thousands of troops and be invincible!

Guo Huijun was so powerful to such an extent. But Liu Suiyun didn't change his expression at all.

That was all thanks to his own silver-haired loli. After being intimidated by her, Liu Suiyun felt that nothing could scare him anymore. What was a mere Guo Huijun? Even such a terrifying existence as the silver-haired loli finally obediently begged him to pinch her.

"Where is Lao Xu?"

Liu Suiyun ignored Guo Huijun: "I want to see him!"

Guo Huijun was so angry that her beautiful eyebrows rose because of Liu Suiyun's ignoring. She raised her silver spear and was majestic. She wanted to have a good fight with Liu Suiyun. Unexpectedly, a firm and powerful voice came from behind: "Guard Commander!"

"Guard Commander!"

"Guard Commander!"

Draw swords, raise knives, and draw spears!

The horse thieves present were all confused by this sudden change. But several leaders had given orders. They all took the lead and were on high alert. Their swords and knives were all aimed at Guo Huijun at the first time, ready to act at any time. Xia Jingjue simply waved his big spear, looking as if he was about to stab at Guo Huijun at any time.

"You are crazy!"

This was the only feeling in Guo Huijun's heart. She had never thought that this Star Ruyü, whom she had heard about countless times, would have such astonishing influence among the old subordinates of the Gu family.

These generals who were usually extremely obedient to her and could be commanded with ease now all ran to Star Ruyü's side without paying any attention to her. She elegantly sneered: "Don't you take Zhaori seriously?"

Xia Jingjue was a big and burly man, extremely brave. Guo Huijun had seen him charge into the enemy formation several times without fear of death and only care about fighting. Now he was holding a big spear and said with concentration: "We only know Lady Yan, General Yan, and Little Commander Star!"

His words meant that he didn't take Xu Zhaori seriously at all. As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Suiyun was greatly relieved.

Although Xia Jingjue was the most trusted capable general under him in the past and they were true friends who had gone through life and death. Liu Suiyun rescued Xia Jingjue from the death cell of the Pang family. And this death row prisoner and old subordinate of the Pang family also always remained loyal to him and had saved him many times.

But he had never thought that Xia Jingjue would stand firmly on his side like this. And how many such old subordinates were there in the entire Tianma Plain? He must not let them down!

He should have come to Tianma Plain long ago!

Guo Huijun was so angry that her eyebrows were furrowed. Her shining silver spear tip had already reached the edge of the carriage curtain: "You with the surname Star, what exactly do you want to do?"

Liu Suiyun replied casually: "Take me to see Lao Xu!"
