Chapter 545 - 172: [Don’t Come Any Closer!]
Chapter 172 [Don’t Come Over Here!]
Oh crap!
Someone is going to crash the party!!
Chen Yan cursed loudly in his heart.
And the person crashing the scene, although in the form of a Fierce Beast Race monster, was someone Chen Yan instantly recognized.
The opponent’s skillful hands, the strange body technique, and that fierce swordsmanship — along with the sword he wielded!
It’s the Golden Armor!!
Although he didn’t know how he transformed into the form of a Fierce Beast Race mining monster, Chen Yan was 80-90% sure this was indeed the Golden Armor!
·
Golden Armor stabbed a sword through a monster’s neck, his feet moving quickly, rushing toward the central Divine Tree!
At this moment, a loud roar sounded beside him, and a bright flash tinged with red rushed towards him!
Golden Armor grunted, having to twist his body to the side, raising his sword with one hand horizontally upwards.
With a clang, Golden Armor’s hand gripping the sword visibly shook.
The guard monster that swung the blade had already charged in front of him, its entire body bursting with a mass of red light, the blade’s edge grew with a red hue, sweeping across once more.
Golden Armor took a deep breath, turning his steps, his body resembling a ghost, mysteriously twisting midair to the side of this warrior monster.
Easily avoiding the opponent’s second strike, as Golden Armor’s hand holding the sword made a light swing, a beam of sword light glided past, opening a cut on the neck of the second guard warrior.
Blood spurted from the neck, and this monster also toppled over with its head back!
Golden Armor rushed three more steps towards the tree center.
At this moment, monsters charged at him from both left and right sides.
Even at his target, the location of the Divine Tree’s roots, two monsters ran in a straight line from the opposite side, confronting him, blocking his path of advance.
Golden Armor had no choice but to brandish the long sword in his hand, the sword in his hand suddenly bursting out with several points of cold light, its speed so fast it seemed like phantom shadows.
His figure suddenly lunged forward, but after two steps, he abruptly changed direction again, his ghostly figure baffling the surrounding monster warriors, making their encirclement turn into a mirage instantly.
He once again stabbed a sword through a guardian monster’s heart, the sword piercing like a venomous snake, then withdrew like a ghost, and with a reverse grip, blocked another monster’s blade, his sword edge even sliding up along the opponent’s blade, smoothly slicing down along the hilt.
A scream, and an arm holding a sword flew up into the sky.
Golden Armor so far had smoothly killed two monsters, gravely injuring one monster, and by ghostly stepping through, magically slipped past between the two monsters in front.
As he slipped past, he even bent his body down, his sword edge fiercely piercing a monster’s ankle!
After a scream, the monster fell, but Golden Armor was already striding forward in a mad dash.
At this moment, he was less than ten steps away from the tree root!
Buzz!
A gale swept by, and a war blade was thrown towards him from the side. Golden Armor sidestepped it, then ran a few more steps forward.
And ahead, on the ground, was the jug storing the Divine Tree Juice!
Seeing four monsters forming an encirclement behind him, a hint of evil qi flashed in Golden Armor’s eyes.
He suddenly raised his sword, slashing fiercely towards that jug!
Chen Yan watching from the mountain wall, his heart suddenly clenched!
No!!
If you smash the jug, what am I going to steal?!
Sure enough, watching Golden Armor’s sword edge head for the jug, the closest guard warrior in the lead cried out in alarm, lunging forward, pouncing in front of the jug, using his back to block Golden Armor’s sword edge!
But Golden Armor’s sword dropped halfway, then reversed direction, stabbing to the right side at a bizarre angle.
Another scream, another monster fell to the ground!
Golden Armor leaped forward, his body soaring airborne, fiercely stomping down on the monster lying on the jug below!
This leverage catapulted him into the air!
This time, he raised the sword in his hand, fiercely sweeping the sword edge downward!
Slash!!!
After a flash of cold light...
The root tendril secreting the Divine Tree Juice into the jug, was already sliced off by him, missing almost half a meter!!
The tendril hadn’t even hit the ground when it was snatched by Golden Armor, reversed into his arms.
At this moment, in front, behind, to the left and right, out of eight guard warriors, two were dead and two were injured, leaving four combat-capable.
And in the belly of the mountain space, over a dozen overseers waving their whips and shouting were already rushing over.
But the largest group on the ground — hundreds of miners instead all knelt down, pressing their heads tightly to the ground, not daring to raise their heads at all.
·
"Ah!!"
Another scream, another guard warrior died under Golden Armor’s sword!
But this time, Golden Armor finally got injured. Surrounded by four monsters, avoiding two blades, he seized the opportunity to strike with the sword, thrusting the sword edge into the eye socket of this monster, straight through the brain!
But as this monster fell, Golden Armor grunted, a blade had slashed across his right arm.
Blood sprayed from his right arm, and he staggered backward.
Golden Armor’s body was injured, and his original monster form suddenly shook, with the outlines of his body trembling, within just a few blinks, he reverted to human form.
Sure enough, it was Golden Armor!
Golden Armor’s right arm injured, he couldn’t wield the sword anymore, but he reacted extremely quickly, once he steadied himself, he transferred the sword from his right hand to his left hand, fighting and retreating rapidly heading towards the mountain wall below.
The remaining three Guard Warriors pursued relentlessly, shouting continuously, as the gleam of their blades slashed towards the Golden Armor...
Chen Yan saw the more than ten overseers nearby almost running up to them, and the hundreds of miners on the ground kneeling motionlessly, as obedient as quails...
An opportunity!!
Chen Yan’s heart was suddenly shaken!
He took a deep breath, suddenly climbed up, and jumped down!
In mid-air, Chen Yan spread his arms, resembling a large bird.
But he had applied a Light Body Talisman on himself, and with his super strong physique, even though it was over ten meters high, when he landed, he just rolled on the ground and effortlessly stood up.
Right beside him was a miner kneeling on the ground, with his head touching the ground, trembling and not daring to move.
Chen Yan quickly ran past him, but grabbed the hammer lying on the ground beside the miner.
With a quick glance, he saw an overseer running up from the left!
Chen Yan threw the hammer, hitting the overseer on the head, who howled in pain and fell to the ground.
Chen Yan ran over in a few steps, picked up the whip dropped by the overseer, flicked his wrist, and the whip uncurled, stretching over three meters long.
Swish!
Crack!
With a lash, an overseer who hadn’t yet gotten close was struck across the face, immediately covering his face and falling down.
After running over, Chen Yan quickly pulled a grenade from his body, removed the pin, shoved it hard into the overseer’s mouth, and then leapt away, bolting towards the Divine Tree.
Several overseers behind came running, just passing by their fallen companions on the ground...
Boom!!
With an explosion, shattered bodies flew in all directions! Two or three overseers were hit by the fragments and fell, and one had a piece of his lower leg blown off!
Meanwhile, Chen Yan had already rolled seven or eight meters away, using a pile of bulging ore to block the shock and shrapnel from behind.
By this time, Chen Yan had already brought the rifle slung on his back to the front.
In a standard single-knee shooting position, he raised the gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger!
Bam!
Bam bam!
With three consecutive shots, three overseers who were rushing towards him were hit and fell one after another.
This wave of attack eliminated the closest overseers, and Chen Yan temporarily couldn’t care about those further away.
Because the jar containing Divine Tree Juice was just less than twenty steps in front of him!
At this moment, the remaining three Guard Warriors were all attacking the Golden Armor, and the surviving overseers, only four, were also at the closest position to the Golden Armor, attacking it.
The overseers around Chen Yan were all taken out!
There was no better opportunity than this!
Chen Yan’s heart raced wildly as he quickly stepped towards the jar.
With a shake of his hand, he pulled out a specially prepared thick plastic bag, shook it open, then opened the bag’s mouth with both hands and slipped it over the jar!
Using force, he lifted the jar and flipped it over!
With a swish, the Divine Tree Juice in the jar poured into the bag!
This set of actions by Chen Yan was done all in one go with extreme fluidity—he had practiced this at home!
To make sufficient preparations, he had custom-ordered the size of the plastic bag’s opening specifically based on his memory of the jar’s mouth size!
With a bag of Divine Tree Juice in hand, he weighed it; it was several pounds heavy!
Chen Yan acted swiftly, tying the bag mouth tightly within two or three moves.
At this moment, another scream was heard in the distance.
Another Guard Monster fell with a sword through it!
Chen Yan looked over and saw the Golden Armor also looking this way.
His figure was in disarray, with another blade cut on his shoulder, but now only two Guard Monsters remained before him.
After stabbing the enemy in front of him to death, the Golden Armor grabbed a hooked iron claw from his back, threw it, and the hook caught on the mountain wall.
"Wang Chuyi! Help me!!"
The Golden Armor shouted.
Chen Yan wasn’t entirely heartless; he immediately raised his gun.
Bam bam two shots, one took down an overseer, and the other hit a Guard Monster emitting a red glow.
What surprised Chen Yan, however, was that while the overseer fell when shot, the Guard Monster with the red glow merely staggered and then immediately steadied itself.
Nevertheless, this gave the Golden Armor a breathing chance!
The Golden Armor had already grabbed the rope with one hand, then swiftly retreated to the mountain edge, pushing off with his feet, using the momentum to run horizontally along the mountain wall like an acrobat!
The Guard Monsters below roared and swung their war blades, but to no avail.
However, after just a few steps, a blade was thrown over.
With a slash, the blade cut the rope below the iron claw, and the Golden Armor fell from mid-air.
Fortunately, his Body Technique was nimble; in mid-air he twisted his body, landed with just a roll, and immediately got up, then lifted his head to race madly toward Chen Yan!
Chen Yan looked at the Golden Armor sprinting towards him, and glanced at the two Guard Monsters and three overseers chasing closely behind him.
Holy shit!
Damn it, don’t come over here!!
