Under the astonished gazes of Ling Yun and Xiao Rou, the twelve dark armors slowly merged together, like two inseparable water droplets. The armors were fused together by a mysterious force, and in the blink of an eye, a huge black shadow ten meters tall appeared in the blue light.
Its enormous body was entirely enveloped in a cloud of azure light, like mist. Abundant azure energy ceaselessly traced countless irregular paths across the light, while golden lightning crackled and hissed incessantly. Within the misty light, the massive, dark azure body of the dark armored aggregate could be vaguely seen. Exquisite and intricate golden patterns, like tattoos, wrapped around the aggregate's face from its heels.
Beneath the massive, rooster-comb-shaped helmet was a face shrouded in black mist, obscured by a mask that covered most of the face, revealing only a pair of piercingly large eyes that gleamed with a similar blue light. Like the illustrated warrior, there was no real living being within the armor; the dark armor, resembling a gigantic beast, was supported by its own power. The Dark Knight's life had long since vanished.
The dark armored aggregate took a light step, and with a thud, the entire ground trembled uncontrollably, as if struck by a stone press or as if some enormous creature had passed by. With a crack, countless crisscrossing cracks appeared on the pale blue ground, and a half-meter-deep crater had sunk beneath the aggregate's massive, dark blue foot.
The dark armor's two bright eyes suddenly released a chilling light, and its thick arms suddenly stretched out from the blue light ball. A blue light pillar with a diameter of nearly one meter suddenly shot out from its palm. With a whoosh, it struck Ling Yun and Xiao Rou like a destructive beam of light. At the moment the power was released, a huge vortex appeared in the air above, and a strong suction force even lifted Ling Yun and Xiao Rou's bodies involuntarily upwards.
The two were taken aback. They hadn't expected that the Dark Price's aggregate would possess such power with just one strike. The strange phenomena appearing in the void and the overwhelming attacks, along with the intense air pressure, even made Ling Yun and Xiao Rou's scalps tingle slightly. If they hadn't used their mental force field to stabilize their bodies, they would probably have been involuntarily sucked into that destructive power.
With a deafening boom, a cyan beam of light, resembling chaos, instantly poured onto the ground where Ling Yun and Xiao Rou had just fought. Although the cyan beam was only one meter in diameter, the ionization field surrounding it covered an area of nearly ten meters, expanding the attack surface to a wide region. Like a destructive thrust, everything within the attack surface would be subjected to indiscriminate attacks.
The light suddenly brightened for a moment, then slowly calmed down, followed by the characteristic high temperature of the hot air and the unpleasant smell of the air being ionized and distorted. Finally, shockwaves radiated outwards in a circular pattern.
The moment the beam of light arrived, the two small figures leaped away with lightning speed, covering hundreds of meters in an instant, leaving a perfectly round, unfathomably deep crater in the ground.
Chapter 334 The Dark Knight (5)
Suddenly, several thick, black flames rose from the edge and bottom of the pit, instantly forming a black sea of fire. As soon as the black flames started burning, a scorching heat wave spread rapidly, and the surrounding temperature rose quickly. The once cool and spring-like square suddenly turned into a sweltering heat.
When the first attack failed, the towering dark armor suddenly turned around, its two bright, gleaming eyes shooting out two purple, laser-like rays. As its head turned, the rays rapidly formed a huge circle around it, dozens of meters in diameter, relentlessly pursuing Ling Yun and Xiao Rou's leaping figures through the air like a carpet bombing machine gun. Wherever the purple rays occasionally swept across the ground, countless dense, tiny holes immediately appeared, as if neatly pressed down by a machine loaded with countless iron nails.
Ling Yun and Xiao Rou sped through the air like the wind, their speed incredibly fast, leaving countless afterimages in their wake. The purple rays, though swift, could never keep up with their pace. However, the purple rays were emitted solely from the dark armor's gaze. With a simple turn of its massive head, it could easily traverse enormous arcs. Moreover, the dark armor could use two eyes simultaneously, each emitting purple rays that could pursue the two individuals at different directions and speeds.
"Get to his feet!" Ling Yun and Xiao Rou shouted almost in unison. The instant they were attacked by the purple ray, the two realized how to dodge the attack from the massive dark armor. The farther away they were, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. Because of its enormous size, the dark armor could launch ranged attacks at will, especially the chaotic blue beam of light, which possessed destructive power that was almost overwhelming. Even Ling Yun was shocked when he saw it.
The two quickly sped off from two different directions, each taking a different route towards the dark armor's feet. Although the purple rays in the enemy's eyes could attack them separately, it was better not to concentrate their targets on one side. Otherwise, the enemy's attacks would directly target them. Spreading out would effectively distract the enemy and reduce the area of attack. This was a more suitable approach for Ling Yun and Xiao Rou. If they stayed together, they would be distracted by their mutual concern.
A deafening roar echoed as two purple rays, almost following Ling Yun and Xiao Rou's heels, struck the solid ground. Countless tiny holes appeared in the hard earth, and smoke and dust rose in a Z-shaped line across the square. This dust was formed from the vaporized blue bricks that had been hit by the purple rays. Due to the high speed, the dust didn't even have time to settle before creating a complex and spectacular sight.
Ling Yun and Xiao Rou dared not dodge by leaping back and forth in a straight line. This was common sense when evading long-range, concentrated attacks. If they moved in a straight line, the Dark Armor would only need to raise its head slightly, and the two of them would soon crash directly into the purple rays. Moving along a winding route was partly to be unexpected, and partly to avoid the opponent's attacks being predictable.
The purple ray grew faster and more ferocious, narrowly missing Xiaorou's back several times. The intense heat and powerful cutting force it generated instantly even pushed the air to form an equally sharp air blade, creating a hissing sound. Two long, black, and shiny strands of hair fell down. Since there was no mental field protecting the hair, it was easy for it to become a victim of the air blade.
Without turning her head, Xiao Rou's beautiful face suddenly showed a hint of anger. The girl was not a vain or beauty-loving person, but a woman's nature dictated that she would take great care of her own appearance. Her flowing, ethereal black hair was one of Xiao Rou's proudest assets. At this moment, two strands of her beautiful hair had been cut off by this hateful dark armor. This was intolerable.
Suddenly, the girl let out a clear whistle, no longer moving back and forth in a zigzag pattern at high speed. Her perfect toes lightly touched the ground, instantly dodging the purple ray that swept in from the side. Her whole body had already transformed into a blur, shooting straight towards the dark armor that was tens of meters away and ten meters tall. Her telekinetic spear suddenly burst into a dazzling light, thrusting straight towards the single eye of the dark armor that was constantly emitting purple rays.
Ling Yun was taken aback, realizing that Xiao Rou no longer wanted to hide in the blind spot under the Dark Armor's feet before attacking, but instead launched a counterattack. However, this distance was the most disadvantageous for her, and being in mid-air meant she had no leverage, making it much harder to dodge the purple rays than on the ground, and she was very easy to become a target for the Dark Armor.
He was about to shout a warning to Xiaorou to come down, but then he thought better of it and shut his mouth. In terms of combat experience, Xiaorou was a top-tier fighter. If Ling Yun could see that, Xiaorou was certainly no exception. So why did she jump up to attack? Clearly, the girl had her own ideas and wasn't putting herself in a more dangerous situation because of a moment of impulsiveness.
Ling Yun was still a little uneasy, so he suddenly increased his speed. The distance of several dozen meters was covered in an instant. Although the purple ray was always behind him, and it seemed that if he slowed down even a little, he would die on the spot, the boy was very confident. The ability to copy was not something to be taken lightly. The attack trajectory of the purple ray had already been given a data model. Now, it was not the purple ray attacking Ling Yun, but Ling Yun who was always a little outside the attack range of the ray. He was neither too far off nor too close. If he was too far off, the ray would readjust its attack range, and the data model would have to be readjusted. If he was too close, who knew if the ray would have other special functions of attacking from a distance.
Therefore, all that could be seen was the beam of light hitting the path Ling Yun had taken, but it could never keep up with Ling Yun's body. It seemed that every time it was just a little bit short. It was as if with a little more effort it could take down this troublesome guy. But that little bit of distance was the difference between the horizon and right in front of you.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun had already run to the left heel of the Dark Armor without changing his expression or skipping a beat, and then stopped. The ray did not come over again. This was a blind spot for the eyes. No matter what, the Dark Armor could not lower its head to sweep the ray at Ling Yun, who was so close to it. Its huge body blocked everything. It could not even see where Ling Yun was standing, just like a human cannot see an insect standing behind its feet.
The dark armor didn't let Xiao Rou, who was approaching from the air, go. Since the insect beneath its feet was more troublesome, it would deal with the airborne insect first, as it had a wider field of vision and could attack targets in the air more easily. Two thicker purple rays suddenly shot out from the dark armor's eyes as parallel lines, heading straight for Xiao Rou's small body. But that wasn't all. As if to completely destroy the enemy, the dark armor's two arms, which resembled the forelimbs of a pangolin, crossed each other, simultaneously emitting two intersecting beams of cyan light that swiftly attacked Xiao Rou. Instantly, bright golden lightning emitted a terrifying thunderous sound, like the demonic sound of the apocalypse, which actually dyed half the sky gold.
At the same time, the dark armor didn't forget the other thing beneath its feet. One of its heavy feet suddenly lifted, creating a fierce gust of wind, and stomped down towards Ling Yun's head. Ling Yun lightly jumped, leaping from where the foot landed onto the instep of the dark armor's other foot. Then, with a gentle stretch of his hand, he placed it on the armor on the dark armor's foot.
With a loud crash, the poor blue-green ground suffered another misfortune, once again having a deep crater stomped into it. No matter how hard the blue-green tiles were, they were almost utterly vulnerable to this overwhelming force.
Xiao Rou took a deep breath, seeing the terrifying, overwhelming attack coming towards her. Two swift purple rays and two intersecting cyan beams of light. As soon as the dark armor was activated, Xiao Rou could feel the terrifying energy gathering. Having witnessed the devastating consequences of the cyan beams of light, the girl knew clearly what it meant. Although the bodies of superhumans were incredibly tough, they would still inevitably be reduced to ashes under such a destructive attack. Even if they withstood it with their mental energy field, it was uncertain whether they could survive.
Fortunately, Xiao Rou herself hadn't intended to confront the cyan beam of light head-on to see who was stronger. Fighting desperately and bravely didn't mean courting death; Xiao Rou had already planned what to do the moment she jumped into the sky.
With a flash of silver light, two wings formed purely from spiritual energy fields appeared behind Xiaorou. The wings were fully extended, each three meters wide, allowing them to maximize the use of airflow. They had perfectly streamlined wing edges, resembling the most dazzling and beautiful pure silver wings in the world. The wing surfaces were covered with intricate and neat patterns, which were not merely for decoration and aesthetics. The structure of the patterns enhanced the rational structure of the spiritual energy field wings, making them more flexible and adaptable during flight, just like the arrangement of feathers on a bird's wings.
A dazzling ball of light emanated from Xiao Rou's silver wings. Her exquisitely beautiful face and flawless figure made her look like a radiant angel descended from heaven, radiating a dazzling rainbow of colors and breathtaking beauty.
"Angel Wings?" Ling Yun sensed something and looked up at Xiao Rou, involuntarily saying. As the name suggests, Angel Wings is a vivid metaphor, symbolizing the wings of an angel. However, Angel Wings is not merely a supernatural ability that helps with flight. Since the mental energy field itself can enable the superpowered person to fly in the sky, even if it is contained, they can still float in the air. There is absolutely no need to add a pair of wings on the superpowered person's back. Simply creating wings would not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but would also make them a target for enemies due to their increased size.
One function of angel wings is cutting. The wings may look incredibly beautiful, but they are actually no different from two sharp blades of light. In battles involving groups or physical contact, especially in the air, angel wings are very useful. Of course, there are many weapons and tools for cutting, and angel wings are not the only option. Although angel wings seem simple, they actually require a certain amount of time and a process to condense. Before the angel wings are condensed, the ability user cannot use any attacks, which is one of the biggest weaknesses of angel wings.
Of course, once the Angel Wings are successfully condensed, they will not only have the flexibility of flight and the ability to cut, but their greatest function is to condense and stack power. Moreover, the more powerful the supernatural power, the more obvious the effect of the stacking will be. If a super supernatural power is combined with the effect of the Angel Wings, it can create a completely devastating effect.
Those who can condense angel wings are extremely rare, and they are all women. No one knows why, so almost no one practices this supernatural art with a very low success rate, or one that is ineffective even if successful. If Xiao Rou hadn't suddenly used it, even Ling Yun wouldn't have known that the girl actually possessed angel wings.
The supernatural abilities of those with superpowers are often shrouded in legend, especially those mysterious and difficult-to-cultivate ones. The legend of angel wings is even more outlandish. If a superpowered individual with angel wings could condense six wings, she would become a powerful being second only to a god.
The moment Ling Yun saw Xiao Rou unleash Angel Wings, he knew his girlfriend's plan: an enhanced version of Destructive Thrust. Recently, the girl's ability to use Destructive Thrust had been growing and changing at an astonishing rate. As her power increased, the power of Destructive Thrust also continued to evolve, seemingly without end, with immense potential for further growth. If Xiao Rou continued to cultivate the power of Destructive Thrust, it was entirely possible that a new super technique would be born.
Just thinking about an incredibly powerful super technique made Ling Yun's breath catch in his throat. He couldn't imagine what the ultimate power of the Destructive Thrust would bring. With Xiao Rou's current strength, she couldn't control such a world-destroying power, not even several times stronger. Too rapid an increase in power would only lead to destruction.
Ling Yun glanced at his girlfriend with some concern. The two were of one mind. Even without any verbal or spiritual communication, Ling Yun knew Xiao Rou's thoughts, just as Xiao Rou knew his thoughts perfectly. Their emotional communication was seamless, and they could even make any decision for each other.
With a flap of her wings, Xiao Rou's figure suddenly rose dozens of meters higher in the air. She was truly as swift as a rabbit. The angel wings greatly enhanced her speed and agility. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Rou appeared dozens of meters above the sky.
Chapter 335 The Dark Knight (6)
After acquiring the Angel Wings, Xiao Rou's speed became unpredictable. Even with Ling Yun's keen eyesight, without activating the panoramic view, he could only barely make out a silver streak, faintly carrying the flight path of two pairs of wings. This speed even surpassed that of ordinary general-level powerhouses, allowing her to instantly kill any superhuman among colonel-level ability users.
When speed reaches a terrifying level, if combined with unparalleled agility, the destructive power will increase exponentially.
Suddenly, two crisscrossing beams of azure light flew past the spot where Xiao Rou had just stood. There, a faint afterimage of Xiao Rou standing gracefully with wings on her back was even left. After the azure beams of light flew a great distance, they exploded into two small mushroom clouds that rose slowly in the distant sky. The black flames stubbornly burned in the void for a moment before reluctantly going out.
The dark armor seemed quite surprised by Xiaorou's speed, its blue-glowing eyes flashing incessantly. It could have easily seen the girl with a simple turn of its head. However, the girl's excessive speed caused the dark armor considerable confusion; its gaze couldn't even keep up with her flight. Xiaorou, on the other hand, seemed unhurried, simply circling the dark armor's massive head.
Countless purple rays shot out from the eyes of the dark armor, somewhat chaotically and aimlessly shooting towards Xiao Rou, who was constantly flying in the air. However, without exception, every purple ray struck empty air. The cyan beams of light also surged in all directions like turbulent currents in space, but they still could not overcome Xiao Rou's unpredictable speed. They could only futilely form brilliant black flames in the far distance before slowly extinguishing.
Unable to do anything to Xiaorou, the massive head of the dark armor began to slowly turn. For a moment, it completely ignored Ling Yun standing at its feet. It wasn't that the dark armor had forgotten about the person beneath it; it valued Ling Yun even more than Xiaorou. Although this young man didn't display more explosive or shocking power than Xiaorou, his danger was subtle, often catching people off guard and causing them to be caught off guard.
At this moment, the dark armor's protective power had been released outwards. Within a radius of several meters around its body, there were wildly leaping golden arcs of electricity, hissing incessantly, capable of turning anything that could get close to it into charred ashes. As long as Ling Yun wasn't afraid of death, he could continue to stay on its feet. The dark armor, having already figured out that the two were hiding beneath its feet to avoid a blind spot, had already prepared a way to deal with them.
Unfortunately, the Dark Armor forgot the truth about how its master, the Dark Knight, had died. It had been carefully wary of Ling Yun, but the boy's strangeness still exceeded its expectations. Or perhaps, the Dark Armor was merely a being with a semblance of intelligence rather than a truly intelligent being; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to control such a mechanical attack.
