Chapter 512 - 163: Golden Armor
Boom!
Behind the white figure, two monsters had already charged frantically. The monster serving the leader raised its axe, ready to strike down, but the white figure still held the sword hilt with both hands and lightly leaped into the air. While mid-air, it kicked the axe blade with its toe.
The monster let out a painful cry, the axe flew from its hand, and the white figure had already hooked its knee around the monster’s neck, forcefully gripping it within the knee bend. As the white figure exerted strength with its leg, the monster’s mouth emitted a "creaking" sound. With a crunch, its neck broke!
But with the sound of whistling wind, the last monster had already swept over with a burning torch.
The white figure was finally helpless and had to release its leg and let go of the sword, jumping into the air, landing on a rock, angrily and unwillingly looking below.
The leader monster grabbed the sword edge with both hands, staggered backward, then turned to flee, while the last monster swung the torch frantically.
The white figure, reluctantly, retreated to dodge again under the torch’s sweep.
At this time...
Whizz!
A sound of something piercing through the air!
The leader monster, whose shoulder had a long sword stuck, was fleeing miserably when suddenly its body shuddered violently!
A sword shot directly from the side, piercing into the right side of its neck, piercing through!
The red glow on the leader monster suddenly extinguished. It staggered two steps forward, fell to the ground, and twitched a few times, then moved no more.
The last monster, seeing the leader die, shouted loudly, threw the torch at the white figure furiously, and turned to run.
Having run several steps, the white figure had already pounced over, landed beside the leader monster’s body, pulled out the sword stuck on the opponent, and turned to look at the last monster who had run over a dozen steps.
It took a deep breath, raised the sword in its hand pointing at the monster, seemingly about to make a move, but suddenly lowered the sword, made a gesture towards the forest, pointed at the running monster.
Whizz!
An arrow flew from the forest, directly piercing the monster’s back, penetrating the leather armor!
The monster ran forward a few steps due to inertia and fell to the ground.
The white shadow turned and looked toward the forest direction, suddenly raised its left hand and made a thumbs-up gesture toward the forest, then ran forward, stepping on the struggling and gasping monster, stabbed the sword into its back.
Soon, the monster stopped moving.
Schlack!
The sword edge was pulled out, bringing a splash of blood.
The white figure squatted down, grabbed a handful of white snow, and wiped the sword edge, then reversed the grip to show no hostility. It looked towards the forest direction, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Which Fellow Taoist helped me? If convenient, please come out to talk!"
Shortly afterward, Chen Yan’s figure jumped down from a tree in the woods, landed on the ground with a thud, also waving his arm toward the distant white figure.
Chen Yan had slung the recurve bow behind him... this was a gesture to show no hostility.
Though the bow was slung behind him, Chen Yan still held a long-handled axe in his hand, slowly approached the camp.
When he was ten steps away from the white figure, Chen Yan stopped and stood there.
Close up, this white figure wore a long robe; it was unknown what material it was made of, but it looked snow-white and even seemed to shimmer.
No wonder, earlier when he was wrapped in this robe sneaking through the snow, he almost tricked Chen Yan’s eyes.
This person was tall and slender, wore a hood covering the head and face, only revealing the eyes.
Seeing Chen Yan coming closer, the person slowly extended a hand to remove the hood, revealing short hair and a handsome face.
This person had thick eyebrows, bright eyes, a tall nose bridge, looking quite heroic with a touch of ruggedness, especially with a fine scar on the left cheek, adding an element of weathered maturity.
"So, you are also a fellow from the Human Race. Thank you for earlier."
This person held the sword with the edge down to the ground, from afar clasping fists greet Chen Yan.
Chen Yan remained calm, also clasping fists greet this person.
"I am Golden Armor, a shadow guard from the War Division of the Immortal Platform. How might you be addressed?"
Looking at the opponent, Chen Yan slowly said: "Wang Chuyi, a mere Loose Cultivator."
Golden Armor looked at Chen Yan for a couple of eyes, eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Fellow Taoist Wang is a Loose Cultivator? How did a Loose Cultivator come to this place?"
Saying this, he squinted, examining Chen Yan’s clothing and attire, smiled: "Your clothing came from the outside world, right? Do you have friends in the Inspection Bureau or friends in the External Affairs Division responsible for gathering supplies?"
To this question, Chen Yan merely smiled, did not answer.
Seeing Chen Yan not responding, Golden Armor did not mind, simply nodded: "Alright, I will not ask more. Fellow Taoist Wang just assisted me, hiding in the woods, right? It seems you had been eyeing these Fierce Beast Race fellows early on."
Only then, Chen Yan nodded and replied: "I guarded outside the camp for two hours, waiting for them to fall asleep before acting. Unexpectedly, Fellow Taoist Gold’s infiltration was too discreet, I hadn’t noticed you earlier."
