Chapter 128: Silver Armor Amplification

After killing the bronze-armored person, Li Xuan glanced at the surroundings; the Blood Mist around had thinned a bit, but on close inspection there was still Blood Mist present.

Li Xuan glanced at the nearby Black Castle; the Blood Mist there was far denser than here, and it seemed the Killing Treasure Vault was the source of the Blood Mist.

To enter the City of Slaughter smoothly, he still needs to weaken the Blood Mist as much as possible.

Then Li Xuan's gaze fell on the Bronze Great Hammer the bronze-armored person had tossed aside; looking at the hammer before him, he felt a bit nervous, but finally stepped forward and grasped the hammer's handle.

"Hey!"

Li Xuan struck the hammer hard, yet it didn't budge an inch.

"Whoa, this thing is really heavy," Li Xuan exclaimed, staring at the Bronze Great Hammer. His soul power level had reached 27, not low, and he could lift over a hundred jin, yet he couldn't move the hammer.

Suddenly Li Xuan thought of something.

"Bows, crossbows and long knives all have special abilities; this hammer should have one too," Li Xuan muttered, rubbing his chin.

Li Xuan reached out, seized the hammer's handle, and slowly infused it with soul power. As the soul power flowed in, the pale yellow patterns on the hammer's surface began to emit a faint yellow glow; the moment all the patterns lit up, a wave of pale yellow light rippled outward, spreading up to fifty meters around.

Li Xuan suddenly felt his feet sink, as if something had pressed down on him.

"It's a Gravity Field!" Li Xuan's eyes widened as he stared in surprise at the Bronze Giant Hammer before him.

Li Xuan sensed that within this Gravity Field he could increase gravity by up to fifty percent.

That's already very strong!

"What a treasure!" Li Xuan's eyes lit up; he grabbed the Giant Hammer's handle, and with a thought the hammer was sealed into the Void Pearl.

He glanced at the surroundings and pondered for a moment.

Finally Li Xuan decided not to continue probing the Killing Treasure Vault for now, but to push forward steadily and clear more of the Blood Mist. He felt the Blood Mist was linked to the Killing Treasure Vault; cutting that link would make his entry into the vault much safer.

It was also a good time to wait out the cooldown of the Great Teleportation Talisman.

His Great Teleportation Talisman hadn't finished cooling; if trouble arose that he couldn't handle, he would have no way to save himself, which would be extremely dangerous.

Since he resolved to clear the surrounding Blood Mist, Li Xuan set his mind on a target: the silver-armored person he had just encountered. Killing that guy should thin the Blood Mist considerably.

Moreover, that guy wore a suit of silver-white armor.

Bronze Armor can emit a Light Shield to protect oneself, and the Silver Armor should also have special abilities. However, Li Xuan hadn't had much contact or battle with the silver-armored person, so he hadn't sensed the specific powers of the Silver Armor.

Originally Li Xuan thought the silver-armored person was a puppet and feared it might have a self-destruct ability, so he didn't dare provoke the Silver Armor further.

But now things were different; having just defeated the Bronze Armor, Li Xuan's confidence was soaring.

A tiny silver-armored person, Li Xuan felt he could handle it easily.

Ten minutes later, Li Xuan skirted around the wall and reached the spot where he had met the silver-armored person yesterday. He saw the silver-armored figure standing upright not far away, took a deep breath, and cautiously approached.

When Li Xuan was a hundred meters from the silver-armored person, it suddenly turned its head, its hollow eye sockets fixed on Li Xuan, then lunged toward him at extreme speed.

Li Xuan didn't hold back, assuming a stance and waiting for the silver-armored person's attack.

The silver-armored person's attack was not on the same level as the bronze-armored person's; Li Xuan easily withstood it.

At this moment, the weaponless silver-armored person was like a tiger that had its teeth pulled out.

Unarmed combat power was a world apart from the power he had with the bow and crossbow yesterday! Li Xuan also worried about damaging the Silver Armor, so he didn't draw his long knife or bow; instead he kept fighting the silver-armored person with Eight Trigrams Palm, seeking a chance to use Filthy Flame to purge the dry corpse inside the armor.

While the silver-armored person attacked, a burst of Filthy Flame struck its waist; the flame seeped through the armor's seams, swiftly incinerating the dry corpse inside the armor to ash.

Over ten minutes later, the silver-armored person collapsed with a roar, scattering silver-white parts across the ground.

Li Xuan located the armor's core chest piece, fed it soul power, and the silver-white patterns on it flickered; the next second, a white light enveloped Li Xuan.

Li Xuan closed his eyes, feeling the amplification effect the Silver Armor bestowed upon him.

"It actually boosts skill power by fifty percent! This Silver Armor's effect is stronger than Bronze Armor!" Li Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the armor in delight.

In other words, wearing this armor, Li Xuan's fireball now reaches one and a half times its former size.

"The Killing Treasure Vault really is a great place; it even lets me in and gives me so many good things!" Li Xuan said excitedly, fondling the Silver Armor.

After a while, Li Xuan restored some soul power, then took out a large box and placed the entire armor set inside without missing a piece, intending to leave the City of Slaughter before studying the armor's mechanics and the functions of its sigils.

Though the silver-white armor cannot form a Light Shield, it can enhance soul skill effects and increase soul power potency.

This is a huge boost for any soul master.

If in the future he could fuse the traits of both armor sets and those few weapons into a single suit, it would be like a Douluo Continent version of Iron Man.

Li Xuan thought it over and decided it was feasible.

Then Li Xuan recalled the craftsmanship and features of the two armor sets.

"These two armor sets were probably crafted by the same person, and I feel there are more—one to the west and one to the north as well—but I'm unclear about their exact effects," Li Xuan said, frowning as he analyzed.

"Forget it, let's rest first; I need to recover before I can face the other two armors," Li Xuan said, feeling his soul power had been heavily drained, so he decided to take a break before tackling the remaining armors.

Returning to the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan, Li Xuan stripped his clothes and headed straight for the Hot Spring.

Although the Blood Mist was now thin, it still lingered; this toxin is highly stealthy, and Li Xuan must cleanse it completely.

After soaking for a while, Li Xuan emerged from the Hot Spring feeling clear-headed, put on his clothes, and resumed cultivation.
