Chapter 443: Chapter 449: The Terror of the Iron Battle Suit! (Fourth Update)
“What is this?”
Upon seeing the splendid key in Saint Lin’s hand, the Ke Clan’s hall fell into a silence.
The overwhelming aura emanating from the Great Clan Elder was daunting, making it almost unbearable for anyone to face him directly. Now filled with fury, everyone was careful even to breathe.
Seeing the defiant look on Saint Lin’s face, an elder next to the Great Clan Elder coldly snorted, “Is this the so-called key to the Armor of Steel?”
“Yes, Second Clan Elder, this is the key to the Armor of Steel,” Saint Lin stared unyieldingly into the eyes of the Great Elder.
The Second Clan Elder sighed in disappointment, “Saint, I fear you’ve been made a fool by that child, Yang Zhen. What use is a pretty key and an iron box? You’re not suggesting you can get inside this box and go to battle, are you?”
Upon hearing the Second Clan Elder’s words, the younger generation of the Ke Clan present couldn’t hold back their laughter, erupting into a chorus of chuckles.
Saint Lin scoffed. For some reason, his mood calmed down. With an expression of disdain, he glanced at the Second Clan Elder, the old man’s seeming indifference belied the joy in his heart. His old heart must be blooming with joy, knowing that if Lin made a foolish mistake, then his own son, Lin Qingzhi, could take his place, becoming the next Saint.
The young man who had just ridiculed Saint Lin was Lin Qingzhi, the Second Clan Elder’s son, and Saint Lin’s fiercest rival.
The Great Clan Elder frowned, speaking seriously to Saint Lin, “Saint, regardless of the outcome, you have been reckless. If this iron box cannot compensate for the loss of the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, you will meet the consequences as I mentioned before. Even if we Ke Clan have to be laughed at by the world, we must kill that Yang Zhen!”
Tssss——!
Lin Qingzhi sneered, bowing to the Great Clan Elder, “Leave it to Qingzhi to kill Yang Zhen and retrieve the Dayan Ancient Scripture.”
As he spoke, Lin Qingzhi wore a playful smile that mocked Saint Lin.
Saint Lin responded with a similarly mocking expression. Regardless of whether he would die today, just the sheer imprudence of Lin Qingzhi put his heart at ease. How could such a foolish person possibly stand as his rival?
Would killing Yang Zhen be that easy?
If Yang Zhen could be killed by someone as incompetent as Lin Qingzhi, then Saint Lin would have brought back Yang Zhen’s head today instead of the Armor of Steel.
Seeing all eyes on him, Saint Lin declared boldly, “In that case, no more need for words!”
He then turned to the Second Clan Elder, bowing, “I wish for the Second Clan Elder to grant me permission to demonstrate the power of this Armor of Steel.”
Everyone stared in astonishment at Saint Lin. Lin Qingzhi’s face changed color, “Lin Langtian, have you gone mad? With your strength, how could you last even a single round against my father?”
Although Saint Lin’s strength was formidable, standing out amongst the younger generation present, facing the Second Clan Elder, as Lin Qingzhi had said, wouldn’t last against him even for a single move if the elder were to exert his full strength.
Would the Second Clan Elder take it easy on him?
What a joke, other than Lin Qingzhi, the Second Clan Elder probably wanted to kill him with just a slap more than anyone else around.
But this was just a demonstration. The Second Clan Elder naturally wouldn’t slap him to death. Still, it would be wishful thinking on Saint Lin’s part to want to demonstrate the power of the so-called Armor of Steel against the Second Clan Elder.
No matter how you looked at it, Saint Lin was doomed to fail!
“Since Saint Lin has asked for it, I will oblige!” The Second Clan Elder grunted coldly with a dark expression, looking at the silent Great Clan Elder.
The crowd gasped at his words, quickly moving back to give them space.
Saint Lin took a deep breath, looking around, suddenly feeling a sense of desolation. It seemed that in this entire Ke Clan, no one really understood him!
Under the public gaze, Saint Lin slowly ran his hand over the Steel Combat Armor, as if only the armor could comprehend his inner thoughts!
“Steel Combat Armor! Activate!”
At the command of Saint Lin, something happened that surprised everyone.
The box made of Eternal Gold Heaven Iron that held the Steel Combat Armor suddenly burst into a dazzling golden-red light. A loud explosion occurred, drenching everyone in cold sweat. Everyone alerted themselves hastily, stirred their True Essences for protection.
Saint Lin laughed heartily, full of confidence as he boldly glanced at the panicked tribe members who had never seen such a spectacle. He slowly walked towards the Second Elder.
With every step Saint Lin took, resounding clangs were heard. Amid the intermingling metallic sounds, visually impactful Steel Combat Armor began to envelop him.
Looking at Saint Lin, who seemed like a war god, everyone present sucked in their breath, especially the young male disciples. They all stared at Saint Lin enviously.
Lin Qingzhi’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. Although he was loath to admit it, the greed in his eyes deeply betrayed him!
The female disciples of the Ke Clan were even more dazzled. Some even exclaimed, then covered their mouths tightly in disbelief!
“This.. this is…”
The Great Clan Elder and the Second Elder looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.
Despite their deep knowledge in artifact crafting, they couldn’t believe that the box was actually storing equipment—it just looked like a box when folded.
It wasn’t that their expertise in artifact crafting was too lacking. Saint Lin had intentionally kept the explanation of the Steel Combat Armor vague. Moreover, the Eternal Gold Heaven Iron could shield their divine probes excellently. The most unbelievable part was, regardless of the angle, the flat box had no traces on it whatsoever—it looked like a naturally formed, smooth surface.
Now, with the sound of metal resounding as the box burst open to wrap around Saint Lin, how could it not surprise everyone?
It was only when the Steel Combat Armor shone with a series of gold-red beams, fully activating, that everyone caught themselves and stared dumbstruck at Saint Lin.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, a satisfied look appeared on Saint Lin’s face. He looked around and said, “This… is the final form of the Steel Combat Armor!”
Having said that, Saint Lin, full of self-confidence, activated the helmet and completely enclosed himself in the Steel Combat Armor.
“Second Elder, be careful!”
Hearing this, the Second Elder sneered, his face filled with anger as he watched Saint Lin. He said, “Youngster, do you think you can match me just by putting on the Steel Combat Armor? Show me what you’ve got. If I move an inch, I will no longer pursue this matter!”
Saint Lin laughed heartily and said, “I hope the Second Elder keeps his word!”
Without waiting for anyone to respond, Saint Lin charged at the Second Elder with a loud noise. He launched an unremarkable punch, directly at the Second Elder.
“What?”
Everyone was shocked, frightened by the terrifying power unleashed by the Steel Combat Armor.
Especially the Second Elder, his face changed rapidly. It was already too late for him to react, and with a loud noise, Saint Lin’s punch knocked him dozens of feet away.
Boom!
A dull sound echoed as the Second Elder was directly smashed into the wall of the Ke Clan’s main hall!
This… was the terrifying power of Steel Combat Armor?
