83: Admiration and compliments
A minute or so later, the armor on the armored figure was charred black. Under Li Canglan's attack, it crashed heavily to the ground.
Looking at the dead armored figure, several Martial Artists felt a stir of desire in their eyes. This armored figure possessed at least the strength of a Two-star Peak.
If it had a crystal core, it would be worth quite a lot of money! Moreover, the armor on its body was ready-made equipment!
One Martial Artist could not suppress the impulse in his heart, his eyes flashing with desire for the equipment. He stripped the armor off the armored figure.
Only then did the crowd realize that the body beneath the armor was actually a skeleton!
In that short span of time, the man had already put on the armor he had stripped off. Li Canglan watched all of this unfold without intervening. He also wanted to see what kind of trickery this armor held.
The Martial Artist wearing the worn-out armor waved his hand, "This armor doesn't seem to fit quite right..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the armor suddenly expanded slightly, becoming a perfect fit. Not only that, but the decayed patterns on it also became brand new.
"Damn, you've got some good Luck, kid." A bald Martial Artist slapped the man on the shoulder carelessly.
Meanwhile, Li Canglan had already put some distance between himself and these idiots.
The next instant, the new armored figure grabbed the bald Martial Artist's wrist and flung him away! Immediately after, it picked up the battle sword that had fallen to the ground and threw it directly.
Puchi! The Martial Artist who had been flung away was sliced in two by the battle sword, starting from his lower body! Blood flowed everywhere!
"Gulp." The crowd hadn't even realized what had happened before they saw another companion die right in front of them. Subconsciously swallowing their saliva, everyone felt endangered.
"This armor should be able to devour the blood and Physical Body of the person wearing it," Li Canglan spoke up again, "Its strength will likely increase the more flesh and blood it devours."
"While it isn't yet so powerful that it cannot be stopped, I advise you all to act quickly!"
The crowd was initially hesitant. But after seeing the new armored figure walking aggressively toward the bisected corpse, intending to devour the flesh and blood, they could no longer care about the fear in their hearts and rushed forward.
With these people acting as targets, Li Canglan only needed to hide in the back and use Wind Sweeps Ten Thousand Thunders to attack the armored figure.
It had to be said that the armored figure's shell was truly hard. It was unknown what kind of Materials it was made of, but it was actually non-conductive. Li Canglan could only rely on pure damage to slowly grind the armored figure to death.
And the proficiency of his Martial Skill: Wind Sweeps Ten Thousand Thunders, was also increasing at an extremely fast rate.
After killing the new armored figure, no one dared to step forward to try and take this set of armor again. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Canglan stepped forward and crouched down, wanting to see if there was a crystal core on the armored figure.
"Brother, be careful!" A Martial Artist warned Li Canglan worriedly, fearing that Li Canglan was coveting small gains and wanted to try wearing this set of armor.
These people vaguely regarded Li Canglan as their backbone. At least until the true Heaven And Earth Treasure appeared, they needed Li Canglan's help to save their lives.
Li Canglan took his battle saber and forcefully slashed through the set of armor, discovering a pitch-black crystal core inside.
"As expected, there is a crystal core." Li Canglan curled his lips and tossed the crystal core into his pocket. "Let's continue forward."
Although these people were still afraid of the potential dangers ahead, since they had already reached this point, who would be willing to leave now? As long as they were careful, keeping their lives shouldn't be much of a problem.
The group traveled forward, and before long, they encountered another armored figure. Unlike before, this armored figure did not hold a horse spear, but a huge, powerful bow!
The speed of every arrow fired was extremely fast, and its power was nothing short of terrifying. Even though these few Martial Artists barely managed to block the arrows with their weapons, they were still shaken to the point where their internal organs trembled and their Qi and blood churned!
However, they still created an opportunity for Li Canglan to get close. The archer armored figure's terrifying attack power came at the cost of weak defense.
Although it was also wearing a set of armor, its resistance was clearly much weaker than the first armored figure. Li Canglan unleashed four bolts of thunder, blasting the armored figure into smithereens!
For a moment, the surviving Martial Artists were stunned, regarding him as a god!
"What Realm do you think this brother is actually in?" "If I remember correctly, his thunder skill previously only had three bolts of thunder. Now it has actually turned into four bolts, and the power seems to be even stronger."
"Could this guy have been holding back before?" "Unlikely, I estimate he is at least a Two-Star Martial Artist."
"A Two-Star Martial Artist? Then what the hell are we fighting for? Among us, who can beat a Two-Star Martial Artist? We might as well just head home now."
"Haven't you read what's online? Competing for a Heaven And Earth Treasure relies on Luck! Strength is just an insignificant influencing factor."
The group chattered for a while, and then, without waiting for Li Canglan to urge them, they continued on their way.
Unknowingly, Li Canglan had killed no fewer than ten armored figures along the way. To his surprise, every single one of these armored figures contained a crystal core in its body. The drop rate was much higher than that of other Demonic Beasts in the wild!
The tunnel ahead soon became much wider. The group knew that if they continued walking forward, they would likely enter the next area. Waiting for them might be a newly unearthed Heaven And Earth Treasure, or perhaps, something even more dangerous.
Li Canglan sat down on the spot, hid the crystal core in his pocket, and began to close his eyes and rest. But in reality, he was secretly circulating Gluttony Desire and his Cultivation Technique: Eight Directions Thunderclap.
Although his Martial Artist imprint contained a large amount of energy, before the unknown battle arrived, he still needed to restore his state as much as possible. He would face the enemy in his Peak state.
The next instant, Li Canglan, who appeared to be Cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. While absorbing the crystal core energy, he had been distracted, keeping an eye on his surroundings. Just a moment ago, he suddenly sensed an Aura approaching, so he naturally assumed that these people wanted to make a move on him!
However, when he opened his eyes, what he saw were several Blood Tempering Agents and the blue pills he had seen before. A look of astonishment could not help but appear on Li Canglan's face.
These people wore flattering expressions on their faces. "This bro... My Lord must be an official from the Demon Suppression Division, right? This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, My Lord."
The Martial Artist at the very front was holding a Blood Tempering Agent. Besides tempering Qi and blood for those in the Qi Blood Realm and Body Refining Realm, Blood Tempering Agents could also allow Martial Artists to recover their state as quickly as possible. These people could not afford other precious treasures. The best healing potion they could afford was the Blood Tempering Agent.
After the series of battles, in their eyes, Li Canglan was a bona fide Two-Star Martial Artist! Although Li Canglan used a mask to change his appearance, he looked, at most, to be only twenty-something years old. To reach Two-star at this age, even in the Patrol Guard or the Demon Suppression Division, one would be a key talent for cultivation!
"For the rest of the way, please take care of us, My Lord."
