104: Chapter 104 S-Rank Berserker Armor

[ Ding! Detected that the host has killed a 5th-Grade Martial Venerable (Commander Gu Sha)! ]

[ Talent plunder successful! Merged with A-Grade Talent Berserk, S-Grade Talent: Frenzied Bone Battle Armor acquired. ]

[ Talent effect: Qi and blood projection, materialized into bone armor. Defense and attack power increased by 200%. Duration is linked to qi and blood reserves. ]

Li Zhengyang raised an eyebrow.

"Bone armor from the Mad Demon Tribe?"

He hadn't had time to examine the talent's attributes in detail.

The ground in front of him collapsed once more.

From within the blood-red beam of light shooting into the sky, a giant hand covered in red scales tore outward.

Space was forcibly ripped open, creating a massive gap.

A body over ten meters tall stepped out of the rift and crashed onto the ruins.

That creature had four black bone horns on its head, its entire body was covered in dark red scales, and it was shrouded in blood-red mist.

The moment it landed, the black stone ground beneath its feet instantly sank several meters.

8th-Grade Martial Venerable!

The demon, Chi Hong.

This unbridled concentration of qi and blood was several levels stronger than Commander Gu Sha's.

"So close!" Chi Hong roared, head tilted back.

"The qi and blood of one hundred thousand people, and it still wasn't enough to let me cross the threshold to the King Grade! Commander Gu Sha, that useless piece of trash!"

In the distance, Lei Hu and the others were forced back repeatedly by the sound wave, and many spat out black blood.

The pressure of a late-stage Martial Venerable was too overbearing.

Li Zhengyang stomped heavily.

His 4th-Grade Martial Venerable aura surged upward, instantly forming an invisible barrier in front of the group, blocking all of the old monster's pressure.

Chi Hong turned its neck and looked over.

"A human Martial Venerable?"

"Where is Commander Gu Sha? Why are there human martial artists in the fortress!"

"You don't need to look for him; I killed Commander Gu Sha."

Li Zhengyang gripped his dragon spear tightly, standing neither servile nor overbearing before the late-stage Martial Venerable.

"You are the one who killed Commander Gu Sha?"

The killing intent in Chi Hong's eyes was released without concealment.

"Since you humans have delivered yourselves to my doorstep, I might as well use your qi and blood to fill the final gap in my breakthrough to the King Grade!"

Li Zhengyang held the abyssal meteor dragon spear and turned his head to look at Assistant Chen Feng behind him.

"Assistant Chen Feng."

Assistant Chen Feng resisted the discomfort caused by the pressure and hurriedly looked up: "Department Head! What is it!"

Li Zhengyang pointed the tip of his spear at the three-meter-tall Chi Hong.

"What is the market price for a late-stage Martial Venerable demon core?"

Assistant Chen Feng was choked by the question; he swallowed hard and replied loudly: "Department Head! A late-stage Martial Venerable demon core is rare and hard to find! It starts at five billion great xia currency on the black market!"

Five billion.

Li Zhengyang's breathing grew heavy.

He had just spent over six billion on top-ups and was worried about how to recoup his funds.

This old monster was just right.

"Five billion." Li Zhengyang stared at Chi Hong's chest, licking his dry lips.

Seeing that this human not only didn't beg for mercy but was actually discussing the price of its demon core right in front of it, Chi Hong was instantly enraged.

"Arrogant human!" Chi Hong clenched its right fist and smashed it down directly.

Space collapsed in an instant.

A blood-colored fist print the size of a small hill rushed down toward the top of Li Zhengyang's head.

Li Zhengyang casually stabbed his dragon spear into the ground beside him.

He chanted in his heart.

"Frenzied Bone Battle Armor!" "Tyrannosaurus Bone!"

Two S-Grade talents were activated simultaneously!

Boom! In just half a second.

A suit of dark gold bone armor covering his entire body formed instantly.

It was suffused with the crimson-gold flowing light of the Indestructible Golden Body, faintly emitting a trace of dragon might.

Li Zhengyang bent his legs slightly and punched upward, meeting the descending blood-colored fist print.

Bang! Two extreme forces collided in mid-air.

The blood-colored fist print shattered on the spot into a rain of blood.

Chi Hong was forced back half a step in mid-air by the recoil.

It looked at the dark gold bone armor on Li Zhengyang with disbelief, unable to understand.

"As a human, how do you have the bone armor talent of my Mad Demon Tribe!" Chi Hong demanded sternly.

It could clearly feel that the intensity of the bone armor on the opponent had already reached the level of second-tier bone armor.

This simply defied logic!

"Go down and ask Commander Gu Sha!" A sonic boom erupted.

The two fists collided, and a wave of air exploded in mid-air.

Chi Hong was forced back more than ten meters in the air.

Li Zhengyang also slid backward, steadied himself, and shook his right hand.

The dark gold bone armor covering his knuckles had several cracks from the impact.

But with the recovery speed bonus of the Tyrannosaurus Bone, the cracks were filled by newly generated bone tissue as soon as they appeared.

"Old thing, your bones are quite hard."

Chi Hong looked down at its right fist.

A few of the scales on it had peeled off.

A mid-stage Martial Venerable human was clashing head-on with it, a late-stage Martial Venerable demon, and his arm hadn't been shattered?

Not only was it not shattered, but it had even forced it back?

"What exactly is going on with your bone armor!"

Chi Hong was furious; the blood mist around its body churned, and bone spurs erupted from its body one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of dark red bone armor formed on its body surface.

Third-tier bone armor.

The highest level of defensive form for the Mad Demon Tribe.

"Go to hell!" Chi Hong bent its legs and kicked off violently.

The air exploded.

Its figure instantly crossed a hundred meters and appeared in front of Li Zhengyang.

It brought its fists together and smashed down at his head.

Li Zhengyang did not retreat, forcing all his qi and blood into his arms.

He took the blow head-on.

Bang! The loud noise caused the black stone ruins below to collapse once again.

Li Zhengyang's legs sank slightly.

The ground beneath his feet couldn't withstand such monstrous strength; his whole body was driven downward, crashing heavily into the ruins.

Chi Hong pursued relentlessly, diving into the deep pit after him.

A continuous roaring sound came from beneath the ruins.

Large chunks of black stone were sent flying by the shockwaves.

Lei Hu stood a kilometer away, craning his neck to look down.

Assistant Chen Feng pressed down on his shoulder and pulled him back.

"Don't get too close. The shockwaves from a Martial Venerable's melee combat will break two ribs if they just graze you." Assistant Chen Feng warned.

Lei Hu licked his dry lips.

"The Department Head's style is too wild, going head-to-head with a demon without falling behind."

Inside the deep pit.

The sound of fists hitting flesh was endless.

Both sides had completely abandoned defense.

You punch my chest, I elbow your chin.

Relying on the thickness of its third-tier bone armor, Chi Hong delivered lethal blows with every strike.

Li Zhengyang didn't dodge or evade, relying on the dark gold bone armor and the monstrous recovery power of the Tyrannosaurus Bone to trade injury for injury.

Crack! Chi Hong clawed into Li Zhengyang's shoulder.

A large chunk of the dark gold bone armor was gouged out, revealing the flesh and skin underneath.

Li Zhengyang grabbed Chi Hong's wrist with his backhand and lifted his right knee to strike at Chi Hong's abdomen.

Chi Hong's third-tier abdominal bone armor emitted a crisp sound and cracked open.

The two fought their way back from underground to the surface.

Every exchange left a giant crater in the ruins.

They fought for a full ten minutes.

Chi Hong's breathing began to grow heavy.

The third-tier bone armor was now pitted and scarred, and the gash on its abdomen was seeping black blood.

In contrast, Li Zhengyang.

Although the dark gold bone armor was also severely damaged, it remained intact thanks to the repair of the crimson-gold flowing light.

The qi and blood recovery speed brought by the Tyrannosaurus Bone held an absolute advantage in this war of attrition.

"Again!" Li Zhengyang shifted his feet and pounced again.

An indescribable feeling of frustration rose in Chi Hong's heart.

Who the hell is the demon here?

Shouldn't humans be hiding in the distance, casting martial arts and wielding weapons?

Why is this human more of a Mad Demon than a Mad Demon?

Not only is his strength ridiculously high, but his recovery power is despair-inducing!

Bang! Li Zhengyang punched it in the chin.

Bone fragments splattered.

The bone armor on Chi Hong's chin shattered directly.

The immense force caused its entire head to snap backward.

Li Zhengyang didn't let up, seizing the opportunity to punch rapidly.

"Ora, ora, ora."

The bone armor on Chi Hong's chest shattered completely.

Black blood sprayed wildly.

"Get lost!" The qi and blood inside Chi Hong exploded.

A powerful wave of air sent Li Zhengyang flying.

"Is that all you've got?" Li Zhengyang looked up and hooked his finger at the opponent: "The qi and blood of one hundred thousand martial artists, and it only produced a piece of trash like you?"

Chi Hong stood in place, panting heavily.

Looking at the undamaged bone armor on Li Zhengyang, its inner rage lost all control.

Can't kill him.

Simply can't kill him!

The opponent's strength is not inferior to its own, his defense is not inferior to its own, and his recovery power completely crushes its own.

The third-tier bone armor hadn't gained any advantage in this melee fight.

If this continued, it, a dignified late-stage Martial Venerable powerhouse, would be exhausted to death by a human!

"If you can only take a beating, then I'm going to draw my spear."

Li Zhengyang turned around and walked toward the abyssal meteor dragon spear stuck in the ground.

He didn't want to play anymore.

The Frenzied Bone Battle Armor had been tested; there was no need to continue wasting time.

Seeing Li Zhengyang go to draw his spear, the flesh on Chi Hong's face twitched wildly.

It had just been beaten down while hand-to-hand fighting this human.

If it let the opponent pick up that strange spear, it would definitely meet a bad end.

A sense of humiliation and the threat of death intertwined.

Chi Hong's eyes turned blood red.

"Human, this is what you forced me to do."

It didn't rush toward Li Zhengyang, but instead leaped backward.

Its body hovered high in the sky.

Beneath its feet.

In the center of the ruins of the grand hall that had been blown away.

The blood-colored beam of light shooting straight into the clouds was still churning continuously.

The qi and blood of one hundred thousand great xia martial artists were all gathered in the underground blood pool below.

That was the resource prepared for breaking through to the King Grade.

But now, it couldn't care about that much.

If it didn't slaughter the human below today, it wouldn't even have the qualification to leave alive.

Chi Hong spread its arms.

"Blood Sacrifice!"
