Chapter 426: Terrifying Magic Armor

The deeper they went into the Demon Swamp, the more solid the mist became.

The rolling black mist constantly eroded the soul; if it weren't for the fact that everyone was a Martial Saint-level powerhouse, they would have long since contracted Blood Addiction Syndrome.

"Alimu, that demon is extremely powerful; Yuesehan can only hold on for a few minutes in a one-on-one fight." Lei En said while walking.

Alimu was the alias Chen Fan used for this trip!

Chen Fan nodded slightly. As a late-stage Martial Saint, the Fire Venerable was killed by the magic armor in three or two moves; it was not easy for the United States' Yuesehan to hold on for a few minutes.

But he still had doubts in his heart and asked: "Yuesehan knew it was no match for the demon, why did he dare to hunt it?"

Lei En smiled mysteriously, but then said somewhat proudly: "That was before! Now the situation has reversed, because our United States' Lord Yuesehan has successfully advanced to the peak of Martial Saint!"

"Oh?" This news shocked Chen Fan not a little.

At this moment, Chen Fan became even more anxious. If the magic armor were killed and his treasures fell into the hands of Yuesehan, it would be even more impossible for him to get them back.

Continuing deep for more than ten kilometers, the mist seemed to turn into substance, thick like solidified ink, and everyone's vision was compressed to the extreme.

Even though they were all Martial Saint-level powerhouses, their eyesight far exceeded that of ordinary people, they could only see the blurry scene within a radius of a hundred meters. Besides their own breathing and footsteps, only the strange hissing sounds faintly coming from the black mist remained in their ears, making their hearts tighten.

Just at this time, several figures fighting in a tangle suddenly broke into Chen Fan's field of vision.

The leader was dressed in a crisp military uniform, with condensed-to-the-extreme golden energy circling his body, every punch carrying the sound of wind-breaking explosions; it was none other than the newly advanced peak Martial Saint, Yuesehan.

And entangled with him were three people and three beasts. Among them, those three were all American Martial Saints. Chen Fan had seen their appearance from the information, all of them were mid-stage Martial Saints. At this moment, their complexions were deathly pale, their eyes were blood-red, and their bodies were wrapped in black magic aura of the same origin as Zakeluoji's, their moves ruthless and peerless, completely disregarding their own safety, like puppets being manipulated.

And those three exotic beasts were in the same state, even more bloodthirsty and terrifying under the blessing of magic aura.

There was even one exotic beast whose strength was already close to Yuesehan's, rushing to the very front, fearless of death!

Chen Fan's gaze crossed the battle group and instantly locked onto the central area where the mist was thickest.

There, a scarlet humanoid figure sat cross-legged; it was the magic armor.

Its scarlet armor all over its body glowed with eerie luster in the black mist, motionless, as if it had merged with the surrounding mist, only the ghostly green light flickering where its eyes were.

And three feet above its head, a blood-red bead the size of a fist was floating slowly. Fine blood-colored patterns flowed on the surface of the bead, and thick black mist surged out continuously from the bead like a living thing, permeating the entire swamp. The soul erosion and the inducement of Blood Addiction Syndrome that everyone felt just now all originated from this.

"This... this is a Rule Battle Weapon!" Chen Fan's pupils shrank, and a stormy sea was set off in his heart.

He possessed the Soul Suppressing Bell and had used the Void Heaven-Splitting Blade exchanged from the system many times, so he was naturally incomparably familiar with the aura of a Rule Battle Weapon, and thus he recognized at a glance that the bead suspended above the magic armor was a Rule Battle Weapon.

"No wonder the magic armor would come to the United States; it was for the Rule Battle Weapon!" Chen Fan secretly thought.

It was already too late to dwell on why the magic armor knew there was a Rule Battle Weapon here—whether it was some kind of induction, or some kind of reason Chen Fan could not understand at the current stage—it was no longer important.

At this very moment, the most important thing was to stop the magic armor! Stop it from subduing that bead.

If this blood-colored bead were completely refined and subdued by the magic armor, with its own strange strength, plus the blessing of the Rule Battle Weapon, I am afraid that no one in this world would be able to do anything to it!

"Everyone, be careful! That blood-colored bead is a Rule Battle Weapon, and the demon is refining it! Once it succeeds, everyone here will die!" Chen Fan immediately shouted, his voice wrapped in weak thunder power, piercing through the black mist and reaching the ears of Lei En and Yuesehan and the others who were fighting.

Lei En and the others were shocked, and Yuesehan also took the opportunity to force back the three controlled Martial Saints, turned his head to look at the center of the mist, and when he saw the state of the blood-colored bead and the magic armor, his complexion instantly became incomparably heavy.

As the strongest in the United States, he naturally knew the terror of a Rule Battle Weapon. If the magic armor were allowed to succeed, the United States and even the entire world would face a catastrophe.

Glancing at this strange face of Chen Fan, Yuesehan made a decisive decision: "Join forces to solve these puppets controlled by the demon first! Then join forces to slay that demon!"

Yuesehan roared, golden energy surged, and he was the first to rush toward the three controlled Martial Saints. Lei En and the others did not dare to hesitate, each displaying their strongest means, following closely behind.

The three people and three beasts controlled by the magic armor were fearless of death, and because of the magic aura erosion, their strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Even if Lei En and the others joined the battle group, they could not kill them at the first opportunity.

"Be careful!" Chen Fan shouted, and the next moment the Soul-Howling Roar was activated fiercely!

The terrifying sound wave rushed through the black mist, exploding several Mach rings in the air, and almost in the blink of an eye, the sound wave bombarded the three people and three beasts.

The terrifying magic aura wrapped around their whole bodies was instantly dispersed by the Soul-Howling Roar, the three people's complexions were deathly pale, and the three exotic beasts were also listless.

"Good opportunity!" Yuesehan's eyes lit up, golden energy surged, and he punched through the skull of the strongest exotic beast, instantly annihilating its vitality.

The others also seized this rare opportunity and moved their killing moves at the first opportunity.

In just a short moment, the three people and three beasts had become souls of the dead.

Everyone did not stay for a moment and rushed toward the central area where the magic armor was located together.

Yuesehan took the lead, his golden fist condensing the strength of his whole body, smashing fiercely toward the magic armor. The fist wind tore through the black mist, and the momentum was astonishing.

Lei En and the others also displayed their killing moves one after another; earthy-yellow thunder, scorching flames, and sharp wind blades intertwined into a terrifying attack net, shrouding the magic armor and the blood-colored bead.

Just at this time, the blood-colored bead above the magic armor's head suddenly erupted with piercing red light, the blood-colored patterns on its surface all lit up, and the thick black mist instantly boiled.

The magic armor's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, ghostly green light surged, and it slowly raised its hand, and the blood-colored bead turned into a ray of red light, falling into its palm.

In an instant, the aura around the magic armor climbed crazily, and the eerie magic aura and the blood-colored power of the Rule Battle Weapon intertwined, forming a terrifying aura field, shattering all the attacks of Yuesehan and the others.

"Not good!" Yuesehan's complexion changed drastically, only feeling a terrifying power that could not be resisted pressing down toward him.

The magic armor moved, instantly appearing in front of an American Martial Saint, the magic aura on the scarlet armor turning into sharp claws, easily piercing through the Martial Saint's chest and crushing his heart.

Following that, the magic armor's figure flickered, shuttling through the battle group like a ghost, every move accompanied by the fall of a Martial Saint. The miserable screams and the sound of bones shattering echoed in the black mist. In just a few breaths, the Martial Saints brought by Lei En were dead or injured, leaving only Lei En lying on the ground, seriously injured and gasping for breath.

Yuesehan was scared out of his wits; he never expected that the magic armor that had subdued the Rule Battle Weapon would be powerful to this extent. He no longer had any fighting intent, turned around, and fled crazily toward the outside of the swamp, not even caring about the seriously injured Lei En.

The magic armor did not pursue, but locked its ghostly green gaze directly on Chen Fan, who was the most special in the crowd. Its figure flashed and appeared in front of Chen Fan, the scarlet sharp claws carrying bone-chilling coldness, reaching straight for Chen Fan's neck. Chen Fan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously operated the strength of his whole body to defend, only to find that the magic armor's sharp claws stopped suddenly when they were about to touch his neck, and did not fall with a killing move.

This strange scene made Chen Fan's heart full of doubts. He could clearly feel the killing intent on the magic armor, but he could also be sure that the other party indeed did not dare to kill him.

"Why is this?"

You know, outside Bing City, facing the Fire Venerable, when Chen Fan was in danger, it was the magic armor that appeared to save him, and now the other party wanted to kill him but didn't dare to—this made Chen Fan incomparably surprised.

"Could it be that its body is of the same root and origin as this body of mine, and if it kills me, it won't survive either?"

For a time, Chen Fan's thoughts turned a hundred times.

And just at this time, the blood-colored bead in the magic armor's palm lit up with red light, and a thick blood-colored aura spread out along the sharp claws, drilling into Chen Fan's body like a poisonous snake, rushing straight toward his Sea of Consciousness.

Chen Fan instantly understood that the magic armor couldn't kill him, so it wanted to use the power of the Rule Battle Weapon to completely control him with Blood Addiction Syndrome!

The moment the blood-colored aura surged into the Sea of Consciousness, Chen Fan only felt a surge in his brain, and a strong desire for bloodlust grew crazily, wanting to break through his reason.

But just at this time, in the depths of Chen Fan's Sea of Consciousness, an ancient copper bell suddenly appeared; it was the Soul Suppressing Bell.

The Soul Suppressing Bell trembled lightly, and an invisible shock force spread out, wrapping that blood-colored aura like a tide, and in just a moment, it shattered and annihilated it, completely clearing it out of the Sea of Consciousness, and that desire for bloodlust also dissipated without a trace.

"Soul Suppressing Bell, out!" Chen Fan shouted in a low voice, and the Soul Suppressing Bell flew out of the Sea of Consciousness, turning into a zhang in size, suspended in front of him, the bell body lingering with an ancient and heavy aura, forming a sharp contrast with the blood-colored bead in the magic armor's hand. ===== CHAPTER 427 =====
