Chapter 129: Golden Armor of Speed

Dealing with the remaining two armors isn't urgent; after all, Li Xuan will spend the next two months living near the Slaughter Treasure Vault, so he decides to put his time into cultivation first.

As Li Xuan entered the cultivation state, the surrounding soul power finally reached its peak.

"Finally about to breakthrough—being stuck at level 28 for several days!" Li Xuan felt the chance to breakthrough, muttered irritably, then focused on preparing the breakthrough.

As the soul power circulated, the previous bottleneck vanished instantly, with no lag at all, as if the bottleneck had been fake; Li Xuan's soul power level naturally broke through to level 28.

Li Xuan didn't exit the cultivation state; instead he sat beside the Hot Spring to further stabilize his cultivation, and after a while exited the state and stood up from the ground.

Now that his soul power is full, it's suitable to keep fighting!

Thinking this, Li Xuan didn't hesitate and jumped out of the Palm Sky Bottle's space.

Then he headed straight toward the south side of the Slaughter Treasure Vault.

Just a short distance from the Slaughter Treasure Vault.

Whoosh!

A rush of wind sound suddenly rang out.

Thud!

A pure‑gold forged spear pierced Li Xuan's shield and brushed his scalp; luckily Li Xuan is young, otherwise he would have taken a headshot.

"Nice one!" Li Xuan was startled, but he quickly reacted and immediately sucked the spear that had pierced his shield back into the Palm Sky Bottle's space.

Li Xuan tossed his shield aside and finally saw the person opposite.

A cavalryman clad entirely in golden armor rode a warhorse also wrapped in golden armor, standing about a hundred meters away.

He was still wondering where his spear went! "Even got a horse! Wow, this setup is too slick." Li Xuan widened his eyes in disbelief and said.

Then the golden knight urged the warhorse to charge at Li Xuan.

The golden warhorse's power was immense; Li Xuan could even feel the ground trembling.

"Come on." Li Xuan chuckled, saw the cavalry's charge, his eyes flashed, then he lowered his body slightly, and two Green Thunder Walnuts appeared in his hands.

The walnuts were small; Li Xuan could hold one in a hand. As he continuously infused his body's soul power into the Green Thunder Walnut, faint arcs of electricity flickered on its surface.

This is the Green Thunder Walnut, the thousand‑year fruit required by the Purple Thunder Walnut tree!

When the warhorse was still over twenty meters away, Li Xuan threw the soul‑power‑filled Green Thunder Walnut outward.

At the same time, Li Xuan entered the Palm Sky Bottle's space to dodge the explosion.

"This golden knight is indeed stronger than copper or silver armor, but the Green Thunder Walnut isn't a pushover either; let's see the result." Li Xuan muttered.

The explosion should now be over, and Li Xuan quickly jumped out of the Palm Sky Bottle's space.

Just after emerging, Li Xuan fell into a half‑meter‑deep pit.

"Did the Green Thunder Walnut explode this?" Li Xuan was stunned, then hurriedly jumped out of the half‑meter pit.

At this moment the golden knight lay on the ground, struggling to get up; the warhorse was also down, missing a leg and with the remaining legs badly injured, unable to rise.

Nearby, a desiccated horse leg was stuck in the ground.

It seemed the Green Thunder Walnut had blown off a horse leg, causing the golden knight to fall. Li Xuan didn't hesitate; he moved, surged forward, filling his palm with Filthy Flame, and poured it through the seams of the golden armor into the golden warhorse's body.

The warhorse was indeed a corpse of a warhorse.

The golden knight also got up, charging wildly at Li Xuan; although the golden armor was extremely heavy, his charge speed was still fast.

"Hey, you can't say a cavalryman is nothing without a horse anymore." Li Xuan chuckled, his body's soul power instantly turned into a clump of sticky, black, eerie flame that spread on the ground.

The golden knight seemed to sense the oddity beneath his feet; when he tried to brake, he couldn't stop, his feet already on the Filthy Flame.

The Filthy Flame spread upward like poison, seeping from the knight's feet through the armor's seams, smoothly entering the golden armor.

Then, under Li Xuan's shocked gaze,

the golden knight suddenly sat down on the ground.

and began absorbing surrounding soul power, resisting the Filthy Flame's erosion within his body!

Li Xuan could feel that the Filthy Flame's erosion was indeed meeting some resistance.

"Does this thing have consciousness? It can absorb soul power and resist the Filthy Flame's erosion?" Li Xuan raised an eyebrow and muttered in surprise.

Nevertheless, Li Xuan didn't hesitate; with a thought, Burning Heart Divine Flame linked to the golden knight's Heart Fire like a Bluetooth earphone.

"It really does have consciousness, but it seems if I'd arrived a year or two later, this golden knight would have become like the other guys." Li Xuan nodded, waved his hand, and Burning Heart Divine Flame instantly extinguished the golden knight's Heart Fire.

The golden knight's soul‑power‑absorption halted, then stopped altogether, and the Filthy Flame took the chance to completely destroy the knight's flesh.

The golden armor scattered on the ground.

Li Xuan approached the golden armor, found the chest plate, and fed a strand of soul power into it.

As the soul power filled the armor, the golden patterns slowly lit up, brilliant golden light expanded, and instantly the entire armor was cloaked in a layer of golden radiance.

When all the patterns on the armor were saturated with soul power, a golden light poured into Li Xuan's legs.

"The golden armor actually boosts speed." Li Xuan blinked; a fifty‑percent speed increase still felt a bit useless to him.

But gaining fifty percent speed is already pretty good, it counts as an upgrade.

Li Xuan didn't hold back, stuffing the warhorse and the golden knight's armor into his Void Pearl.

He also retrieved the Huang Jin Chang Qiang the golden knight had thrown earlier.

Li Xuan picked up the spear, examined it closely; its surface also bore a layer of golden pattern.

After attempting to infuse soul power, Li Xuan felt the spear had gained armor‑piercing property; he tested it, and the gold‑light‑imbued spear pierced a steel shield as easily as a knife cutting tofu.

Li Xuan couldn't understand why the golden knight threw the spear…

Also, the war armor on the golden warhorse increased speed just like the golden armor.

It seemed it was prepared solely for charging.

If this set were given to a quick‑attack soul master, the amplification would be huge.
