Chapter 268: Chapter 198: Golden Silk Soft Armor_2
At this moment, Lu Chen said indifferently, “Commander Qin, it’s time to end this.”
Lu Chen never liked to dilly-dally, and no one knew if there might be assassins heading to the North Prince Mansion soon. He planned to deal with these people and then return immediately.
Qin Yushan immediately replied, “Yes, Your Highness!”
Su Teng paused when he heard Qin Yushan address the young man as His Highness.
His Highness?
Does that mean the young man is the North Prince?
How could that be possible?
The North Prince is only seventeen this year, isn’t he? How could he become a Grandmaster at such a young age!
The martial arts prodigies he knew of were at most Eighth Grade at the age of seventeen.
No way, this young man is definitely not the North Prince. It must be Commander Qin making things up, pretending this young man is the North Prince in order to lure them into attacking him.
Regardless, if they wanted to leave this place, they would have to attack this young man.
Just then, more men in black, with white cloths tied around their wrists, appeared behind Lu Chen – all of their strengths were above Fifth Grade, including quite a number of Ninth Grade Martial Artists.
Lu Chen said calmly, “Take action!”
As he spoke, Lu Chen’s men immediately took out grenades and threw them at Su Teng and his group. Su Teng, just as before, easily blew up the grenades in mid-air using the broken silver on his person.
After the explosion of the grenades, the Spirit Martial Tower assassins were still unharmed.
With a cold snort, Su Teng said, “You can’t think that with such weapons, you could harm us. No matter how powerful a weapon is, it’s useless if it can’t hit its target. A weapon that doesn’t injure is just scrap metal.”
Seeing that Su Teng easily blew up all the grenades, Lu Chen had no choice but to say to Wenren Lie, “General Wenren, it’s up to you now.”
If the enemy could easily block the grenades, they had to resort to close combat.
No sooner had Lu Chen finished speaking than Wenren Lie, mounted on his horse, charged directly at Su Teng and his men.
Seeing Wenren Lie charge over solo on horseback, Su Teng and his group didn’t underestimate him. Even though they had never clashed with Wenren Lie before, they could roughly gauge his strength from the martial aura he emitted.
Su Teng immediately gripped his knife and faced Wenren Lie head-on. Regardless of the muscular man’s strength, they had to defeat him if they wanted to leave this place today, or else they would all end up staying here.
Wenren Lie, having retrieved the hammer he had thrown earlier, swung it toward Su Teng. Su Teng did not dodge; instead, he chopped down with his knife, and the collision caused sparks to fly.
When Wenren Lie and Su Teng engaged in combat, a Grandmaster behind Su Teng said, “Follow me and attack!”
As soon as the Grandmaster spoke, the Spirit Martial Tower assassins bypassed Su Teng and Wenren Lie and charged toward Lu Chen and his men.
Qin Yushan gripped his knife tightly and led the soldiers behind him to meet the charge. At that moment, a Grandmaster who had been struck to the ground by Wenren Lie’s hammer stood up.
Looking at Lu Chen, who stood still, motionless, a daring idea suddenly came to him.
Although he faintly sensed that Lu Chen was a Grandmaster, Lu Chen’s aura was somewhat restrained, making him seem not very powerful.
As incredible as it sounded, a seventeen-year-old Grandmaster was plausible since the North Prince had managed to grow to his current position in North City, proving he did have some strength.
Perhaps the North Prince could indeed be a young Grandmaster.
Moreover, since everyone else was taking action and only the young man remained in place, this indicated that the young man was the leader. Regardless of whether the young man was the North Prince or not, if they could defeat the leader, they would have a chance to use the young man to escape this place.
With that thought, Tian Yan’s legs kicked off the ground, and his body shot out instantly like a cannonball heading straight for Lu Chen.
The North Prince Mansion’s soldiers were already clashing with the Spirit Martial Tower assassins, but Tian Yan didn’t pay any attention to those soldiers; his target was solely the young man in the distance.
In the blink of an eye, Tian Yan appeared in front of Lu Chen and thrust his sword at him.
At this time, Lu Chen had his face covered with a black cloth, so Tian Yan couldn’t see his expression. Lu Chen’s mouth curled into a brilliant smile.
The distance had been too great earlier, and it was impossible to hit his target. Now, with only a few steps between them, he didn’t believe the other party could still dodge.
Seeing the young man standing motionless on the spot, Tian Yan felt that something was amiss. The youth had no weapon in his hands, and there was no sign that he intended to dodge, as if he didn’t regard Tian Yan’s existence at all.
Could it be…
Is there a stronger presence nearby?
As Tian Yan was thinking this, he saw something like a black stick suddenly appear in the hands of the youth across from him. While he was wondering what kind of weapon it was, a “thud” resounded. In the next moment, Tian Yan’s Protective Gang Qi was instantly shattered, and his body was sent flying backward.
However, what surprised Lu Chen was that the scenario he had anticipated didn’t happen; Tian Yan’s chest didn’t have a bloody hole.
If it had been a typical Grandmaster hit by a Barrett, their body would definitely have a huge bloody hole, and they might even be blown to pieces, but this man was unharmed?
Isn’t the opponent just a Grandmaster? How could he withstand a bullet from a Barrett at such close range?
He had used the Barrett to snipe Grandmasters before and thought that Grandmasters had no defense against the Barrett.
While Lu Chen was puzzled, he noticed that Tian Yan was lying on the ground, continuously spitting blood from his mouth, unable to get back up.
By this time, Tian Yan’s chest clothes had been torn apart, and there seemed to be something golden and shimmering at his chest.
Realizing this, Lu Chen instantly understood.
This guy was wearing an armor!
Moreover, the material used to make this armor was extraordinary!
The Barrett is an anti-materiel sniper rifle, capable of piercing through a car in an instant, yet it hadn’t penetrated this man’s body. So what exactly was this material made of?
Lu Chen’s curiosity was immediately piqued.
Lu Chen then aimed the Barrett at Tian Yan’s head again. Since the chest couldn’t be penetrated, he would aim directly at the head— he didn’t believe Tian Yan’s head was that hard.
However, just as Lu Chen raised his gun, Tian Yan passed out entirely.
Although the armor on Tian Yan’s chest helped him withstand the bullet from the Barrett and prevented it from passing directly through him, his internal organs had suffered a tremendous impact, and all his ribs were broken.
Seeing Tian Yan pass out, Lu Chen’s eyes lit up. This was an excellent opportunity to test the Absorption Technique.
Lu Chen immediately went over to Tian Yan, grabbed his head, and tried to channel his Inner Strength.
In the next moment, he felt a vortex forming in the palm of his hand, followed by streams of warm currents flowing into his body, making Lu Chen feel exceptionally refreshed.
While absorbing the skill, Lu Chen’s mind was filled with images of Tian Yan practicing his swordsmanship. He was surprised to find that by absorbing a person’s skill, he could also acquire all the Cultivation Techniques and Swordsmanship they had learned.
From now on, he wouldn’t need to personally learn any martial techniques or Cultivation Techniques to have real combat experience.
The Absorption Technique was incredibly useful!
He hadn’t expected that after taking down Chu Qingli, the system would reward him with such an amazing item. After the events of tonight were over, he would definitely have to reward her properly.
Before long, Tian Yan’s complexion turned snow-white, as if smeared with a layer of flour.
Tian Yan was still alive initially, merely having passed out, but because all the skill within his body had been absorbed by Lu Chen, and without the protection of the skill, Tian Yan soon breathed his last, utterly devoid of life.
Seeing that there was no more skill to absorb from Tian Yan’s body, Lu Chen threw his corpse on the ground, then stripped off the clothes from his chest.
By this time, the soldiers of the North Prince Mansion and the assassins from the Spirit Martial Tower were engaged in a bloody battle, completely unaware of what Lu Chen was doing.
After stripping off Tian Yan’s armor, Lu Chen found the armor to be very soft, not at all like something that could withstand bullets.
Lu Chen then asked the system, “System, can you identify what this is?”
[The armor is made from Extraterrestrial Materials. Upon contact with Gang Qi or Spiritual Energy, it becomes incredibly firm.]
The system did not provide a detailed explanation, but Lu Chen didn’t ask further, as he already knew what he wanted to know.
Afterward, he attempted to channel Spiritual Energy into the armor. The next moment, the Golden Silk Soft Armor instantly became taut and extremely hard..
