65: Chapter 65 Armor, Combined!

Inside the grand hall.

Qin Muyuan gazed at this Emperor of Huoyun Country.

His gaze particularly noticed the slight bloodstains on the dragon robe he wore, as well as a dead eunuch lying fallen inside the grand hall.

"That's right, that's right!"

Qin Muyuan suddenly cracked a smile.

It should be like this!

Those Huoyun grand armies and whatever Martial Artists or Martial Masters outside should just be appetizers.

The real show still had to be the battle with the monarch of a country!

Qin Muyuan could sense the aura emanating from the monarch of Huoyun Country, Song Chengshan, standing before him.

It was far stronger than all the enemies he had fought against before!

Even Yushui, who felt she came from a big city and looked down on the country bumpkins of Huoyun Country, couldn't compare to Song Chengshan in front of him at all!

"One sentence."

Qin Muyuan stretched out a finger and said to Song Chengshan:

"I have the patience of one sentence for you."

"If your sentence can't make me interested, then I can only help you skip your life directly."

"Heh." Seeing Qin Muyuan's attitude, Song Chengshan shook his head and sneered:

"You are indeed very arrogant."

"But as a monarch, I can..."

Clang!

Before Song Chengshan's voice had even faded, Qin Muyuan flicked his wrist, and the pure nail in his palm emitted a crisp hum.

He directly interrupted Song Chengshan's words.

"Wrong answer." Qin Muyuan pressed down his shoulders, his entire body resembling a ferocious tiger poised to strike:

"Therefore——I am going to skip your plot and also skip your life!"

Bang!

Qin Muyuan's voice and the sound of the floor exploding resounded through the grand hall simultaneously.

Wind-Riding Step: Void-Breaking Style!

A violent gale burst from beneath Qin Muyuan's feet, and Qin Muyuan was seen charging towards Song Chengshan in an instant like a sharp sword drawn from its scabbard, transforming into a bloody beam of light.

"Audacious!"

Song Chengshan's voice was interrupted by Qin Muyuan's sword hum, and the joyful mood he originally felt from becoming an Immortal Cultivator stagnated.

At this moment, seeing Qin Muyuan's attitude of having him in the bag, his mood instantly turned from joy into raging fury.

"I originally wanted to recruit you as my warrior, but... it was you yourself who squandered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

With a stern shout, Song Chengshan fiercely circulated the Dragon-Swallowing Gu Qi within his body.

In an instant, a terrifying phantom condensed and emerged from behind Song Chengshan.

This phantom was interspaced with black and gold, resembling both a Dragon and a Gu, carrying an aura of the desire to devour everything, making people extremely terrified.

After this phantom condensed, Song Chengshan's entire body was covered and enveloped by a gilded Spiritual Qi, making him look as if a deity had descended.

"Madman, prepare to die!"

Song Chengshan formed his five fingers into claws, with ink-black Spiritual Qi wrapping around his fingertips, condensing into claw images as sharp as sharp blades.

Encompassing the Qi of devouring, he fiercely grabbed towards Qin Muyuan, who was rushing straight at him——

Clang!

The deafening sound of hard objects colliding exploded loudly in the grand hall.

Centered on the collision between the bone nail and the Spiritual Qi claw, a tremendous wave of Qi vented out, spreading in all directions.

At the same time, a figure wearing a dragon robe seemed to have been struck by a heavy truck, shooting backward in a niko shape.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This figure successively crashed through two palace pillars, and then violently shattered the dragon chair cast from special stone.

Finally, it plowed a scratch mark of nearly five zhang on the smooth ground before the momentum abruptly came to a halt.

"Cough, cough!"

A sweetness rose in Song Chengshan's throat, and he coughed up a mouthful of fishy blood, protecting his chest with his right hand.

His eyes were filled with utter bewilderment and confusion.

He... actually lost to Qin Muyuan in a clash?!

This isn't right!

He was an Alchemist who had promoted to a Qi-Refining Immortal Cultivator!

Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi he refined was even [Dragon-Swallowing Gu Qi]!

Dragon-Swallowing Gu Qi was a Profound Rank Low Grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, exceptionally proficient in killing and defense.

How on earth did this fail to instantly kill Qin Muyuan with a single claw?

Not only did it fail to instantly kill Qin Muyuan, but he was instead directly slapped flying by Qin Muyuan with a sword using brute force!

Yes, it was slapped flying, not slashed flying.

The Dragon-Swallowing Gu Qi wrapping around Song Chengshan's entire body was not slashed open; it still blocked the slash of the pure nail for him.

However.

The power carried within the pure nail was not completely absorbed by the Dragon-Swallowing Gu Qi!

Even though the Dragon-Swallowing Gu Qi had already absorbed more than half of the power, the slashing power was simply too terrifying.

Song Chengshan only felt a force akin to a giant elephant collapsing a mountain or a fierce tiger breaking out of its cage slam into his chest.

He was completely unable to resist, nor did he have time to use Spiritual Qi to maintain his footing, and was instantly smashed flying dozens of zhang away!

"It actually didn't break his defense?" Seeing that Song Chengshan wasn't dead, a flash of surprise also crossed Qin Muyuan's eyes.

With his current strength and sword Qi possessing multiple sharpness bonuses, he actually failed to break through Song Chengshan's Spiritual Qi defense?

"He's actually an enemy as hard as Zhao Miaonv..."

The corners of Qin Muyuan's mouth curled into a smile.

Although Song Chengshan had a health bar as thick as Zhao Miaonv's, compared to fighting Zhao Miaonv, Qin Muyuan still preferred battling Song Chengshan.

"Not bad, not bad! Fight again!"

With a wild laugh, Qin Muyuan once again mustered his strength and charged at Song Chengshan.

"Come then! Could I, your Emperor, possibly fear you?!"

Song Chengshan quickly reined in his surprise, reducing all emotions back to calmness.

The strength Qin Muyuan displayed had far exceeded his expectations.

Therefore, starting from this moment, he would cast aside all contempt and leave only the purest thought of fighting for his life!

Song Chengshan mobilized the Dragon-Swallowing Gu Qi within his body, and the gilded Dragon-Swallowing Gu phantom behind him merged with his body at this moment.

Gilded Spiritual Qi covered his entire body, and the aura on Song Chengshan's body became incomparably profound, as if the national fortune of the entire Huoyun Country was possessing him.

"Returning Mountain Claw!"

His five fingers formed claws once again, and the pitch-black Spiritual Qi originally wrapped around his fingertips turned golden, viciously clawing toward Qin Muyuan.

"Thunder-Slaying Sword Technique!"

Facing this highly oppressive strike, Qin Muyuan did not flinch at all; strength surged out from his body like a projectile, condensing onto the bone nail.

The bone nail transformed into a long streak of thunder, fiercely slashing toward Song Chengshan.

Boom!

The next second, the bone nail and the golden sharp claws collided with a crash, erupting with earth-shattering noises.

A massive force poured into his body from the tips of the claws, forcing Song Chengshan to take half a step back.

Yet Qin Muyuan was not affected in the slightest; he continued to press forward, slashing out with another sword——

"Stone!"

Just as this sword was about to be slashed out, a strong omen of crisis suddenly rose in Qin Muyuan's heart; reacting extremely quickly, he immediately changed his stance and deployed the [Stone] skill.

Bang!

The next instant, the Swallowing Dragon Gu Shadow that had merged with Song Chengshan had already arrived, swinging its sharp claws.

This claw, wrapped in chilling sharpness and ink-thick pitch-black Spiritual Qi, heavily slammed down onto Qin Muyuan's body.

With just a single strike, it knocked him out of his petrified state, and his entire body was sent flying backward three zhang away.

"How insidious! There's even an echo form!"

Qin Muyuan first glanced at the Swallowing Dragon Gu Shadow enveloping Song Chengshan's body, then lowered his eyes to scan the four clearly reddened claw marks on his chest.

If he hadn't activated the [Stone] skill in time to endure this claw with the defense of the petrified state...

I'm afraid with just this one claw, his belly would have been ripped open, and he'd have to learn from Firezi-ge to shove his intestines back into his stomach.

"However, do you think only you know how to transform?"

Qin Muyuan raised his left arm, held the bone nail horizontally, and pressed the cutting edge of the bone nail against his left wrist.

Then, he gently made a cut.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

Fresh blood gushed out in a trickle, but it was quickly absorbed by the pure nail, and a fierce, bloody cold light abruptly flared within the bone nail.

"Armor, Body Integration!"

A bloody phantom similar in build to Qin Muyuan, carrying biting killing intent and solidifying pressure, suddenly condensed and formed behind him.

Immediately afterward, that bloody shadow lunged forward and completely merged with Qin Muyuan's body!
