122: Red Armor

In front of the Infinite City's front line, that sudden, strange red light.

Like a bloodthirsty lightning bolt, it tore through the blood mist and shot straight towards the heart of Infinite City.

Its speed and power were so immense that many frontline Infinite City soldiers' hearts skipped a beat, and they subconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons.

Su Jin's brow furrowed slightly.

"Hmph!" A cold snort came from beside him.

Zhui Yun looked at the strange light, his right hand reaching for the quiver on his back.

The next moment, a specially crafted arrow, covered in wind and thunder runes, was already nocked on his longbow.

The bowstring was drawn, emitting a low hum, as green wind and purple lightning energy converged at his fingertips, coiling around the arrow.

"Thunderous Movement!"

His fingers released, the bowstring twanged, and the arrow transformed into a green purple electric light.

The next moment, the electric light and the red glow collided violently thousands of meters above the Infinite City's front lines!

"Boom!"

A dull explosion suddenly erupted, and a dazzling sphere of red, green, and purple light rapidly expanded.

Violent energy aftershocks spread wildly in all directions, forming a huge circular shockwave that even tore a massive hole in the blood mist in the sky.

Zhui Yun lowered his longbow, the bowstring still trembling slightly.

"Oh my goodness…"

Stone Rock watched, dumbfounded, and only after a long moment said, "You… when did you get so powerful?"

Su Jin, watching the scene, couldn't help but smile, "Alright, the main character is about to appear."

No sooner had he spoken than there was new movement within the swirling, blood-colored mist.

The blood mist seemed to be slowly pushed aside by an invisible giant hand, revealing a clear path.

Countless low-level demonic beasts, under this invisible force, involuntarily retreated to both sides, as if welcoming the arrival of a monarch.

Immediately after, a figure slowly stepped out.

It was a warrior, completely encased in a set of dark red, ferocious armor, its surface etched with strange patterns, exuding an ominous dark glow.

The helmet completely obscured his face, revealing only a pair of crimson eyes, cold and bloodthirsty…

He held a slender, blood-colored longsword, its blade dark and faintly shimmering with a blood-red light.

On his back, he carried a uniquely shaped black longbow with curved limbs like a crescent moon, indicating that the previous ranged attack was indeed his.

"Golden-tier…"

Su Jin's gaze narrowed; judging by the aura emanating from the opponent, this was definitely a Golden-tier powerhouse.

And his strength was probably not just at the Tenth-tier.

After the red-armored warrior emerged from the mist, his footsteps paused slightly.

His crimson gaze swept across the Infinite City's front line, finally landing on the high platform where Su Jin stood…

The next moment, he moved!

His body sank slightly, and then, the ground beneath his feet violently shook!

"Boom!"

A dull explosion, the ground cracked inch by inch, and countless broken stones and dust were sent flying by an invisible wave of air.

Immediately after, the red-armored warrior's figure blurred, transforming into a blood-colored afterimage streaking across the ground.

"Whoosh—!"

A series of piercing sonic booms merged, trailing a vacuum path behind him.

Along this path, the low-level monsters, crowded together, had no time to react.

They were torn to shreds by the terrifying shockwave.

In just a few breaths, the red-armored warrior had traversed several thousand meters, appearing in front of the Infinite City's camp.

As soon as he appeared, the blood-colored longsword in his hand was already raised.

Then, he fiercely brought it down towards the Infinite City's main banner, which was also Su Jin's location.

Before the sword arrived, an incredibly sharp sword pressure assailed them, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

"How dare you!"

A furious roar, like a sudden clap of thunder.

Just as the blood-colored sword light was about to descend, a burly figure moved across the sky, blocking its path.

"Clang—!!!"

A deafening clash of metal suddenly erupted, sparks flying!

Stone Rock's massive body stood like a mountain, the giant shield burning with flames in his hand steadily parrying the blood-colored sword light.

Where the sword tip and shield surface collided, the air violently twisted, and rings of shockwaves spread out, scraping layers of earth from the ground.

"Hmm?"

A flicker of surprise appeared in the red-armored warrior's crimson eyes; he seemed not to have expected to be blocked so easily.

This sword strike of his, integrating his speed and strength, would not have been so easy to parry even for someone of the same tier.

Stone Rock grinned, "Heh, if you want to touch my Lord, you'll have to ask me first."

His arm muscles bulged, veins throbbing, as he forcefully pushed the blood-colored longsword back.

The red-armored warrior's figure swayed, using the force to drift back more than ten meters, stabilizing himself.

His crimson eyes stared at Stone Rock and the molten giant shield in Stone Rock's hand, a hint of solemnity now in them.

"A bit interesting," a hoarse, low voice emanated from beneath the red-armored warrior's helmet.

The next moment, he moved.

His figure suddenly blurred, transforming into an array of elusive blood-colored afterimages, circling Stone Rock at high speed.

The blood-colored longsword in his hand, meanwhile, became a sky full of blood-colored sword rain, attacking Stone Rock from all directions, from various tricky and bizarre angles, with furious intensity.

"Clink-clank-clang—clang-clang-clang—!"

Dense sounds of clashing weapons rang out like a downpour, continuous and unending.

The red-armored warrior's attacks were incredibly fast, each sword strike precise and ruthless, and as the sword light flashed, it seemed as if countless bloodlines were cutting through the air.

However, Stone Rock was like an unshakeable reef, remaining unmoving no matter how the storm raged.

The molten giant shield in his hand seemed to come alive, shifting left and right.

At the same time, the flames burning on the shield's surface grew fiercer with his parries.

Not only did this greatly enhance his defense, but the high temperature also kept the red-armored warrior from easily getting close.

"Copper Wall Iron Wall!"

Stone Rock roared, runes flowing across the giant shield, and a thick, earthy yellow halo instantly covered the shield's surface, reflecting the flames.

The red-armored warrior's sword light struck it, only producing dull thuds and sparks, but unable to shake it in the slightest.

Although his attacks were swift, Stone Rock's defense was even more impenetrable, every sword strike precisely parried.

"This guy, something's not right…" Huo Jun, observing the battle, frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the red-armored warrior and the swirling blood mist.

He wasn't referring to the red-armored warrior's strength, but rather the manner of his appearance and the abnormality of the blood mist at that moment.

He turned to Su Jin, "Lord, the timing of the blood mist breaking the seal might be off."

Su Jin gazed at the distant red mist, "Hmm, the blood mist's strengthening speed is too fast; it seems there's an external force catalyzing it. Issue an order for the Spirit Pivot Sword Envoys to pay attention to their surroundings."

"Yes."

The messenger left in response.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, as Stone Rock and the red-armored warrior were locked in an intense battle.

The monster tide from the rear finally crashed into the Infinite City's defensive line…
