526: Platinum

The terrifying force was unleashed upon Pei Hong without reservation, sending him flying like a cannonball.

He slammed into the ground at extreme speed, creating a large crater.

Chen De then grabbed one of his legs and began smashing him wildly against the ground.

At this moment, Pei Hong hadn't even realized what was happening and was about to speak, "W-who..."

He only saw a tall, multicolored figure that looked like a small giant.

Then, one of his legs was grabbed, and he was swung violently toward the ground, which immediately forced all his words back into his throat.

Every time Chen De made him have intimate contact with the ground, it left him dazed.

Only in the brief moment after leaving the ground could his brain clear up slightly.

Then he would try his best to spit out a word, only to be smashed into the ground and dazed again, before starting to output the next word.

"Y... "

Bang!

"...ou... "

Bang!

"...are... "

Bang!

"...who... "

Bang!

"...act... "

Bang!

"...ually... "

Bang!

These were all bad habits, and today Chen De had to properly cure him of them.

Gradually, the movements of Pei Hong in Chen De's hands became smaller and smaller, and his voice grew weaker.

When he finally stopped, he realized that he was dead!

Chen De was filled with regret; he had truly only wanted to educate the other party a little.

After all, having someone killed in front of him, as the Supreme Holy Mother, not doing anything would really be a disservice to his status.

This was all very reasonable, right?

As for taking a life, he had never thought about it from the beginning to the end.

Yet he hadn't expected to accidentally kill Pei Hong in a moment of carelessness; how could Chen De's conscience bear this?

But then he thought about it again, wasn't all of this just Pei Hong getting what he deserved?

After all, he had killed someone, and according to the law of karma, a life should be paid for with a life.

Therefore, the one who killed Pei Hong was not Chen De, but Fate!

It was Fate that had arranged everything.

It was just that Chen De happened to appear here at this moment and naturally became the blade of Fate.

Honestly, this Fate was truly too evil, almost making him carry this scapegoat.

Fortunately, Chen De's moral standard was high enough that he wasn't so easily fooled.

If it were someone else, they might have already committed suicide out of shame by now.

But Chen De understood that this matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end, so what did he have to be ashamed of?

If one really had to say, it was that two lives were lost before his eyes, and he couldn't do anything; could he not feel guilty?

It was all Fate's fault!

After confirming that Pei Hong was completely dead, Chen De officially entered the mode of organizing the deceased's belongings.

The items sorted out would be guaranteed for transport by the Holy Mother Sect, ensuring they would be delivered to their surviving relatives.

This was the last thing Chen De could do for the two deceased.

From the two Gold Rank Magic Armor Masters, he found two storage rings.

There were quite a few things inside, including various living resources, some currency commonly used by Magic Armor Masters, as well as cultivation resources, ladies' under...

Although it didn't look like much, it was enough for him to make a significant leap forward.

He consolidated the contents of both into one, then took the ring and hid it in his pocket.

Actually, there was one thing Chen De couldn't understand: why did so many people wear their storage rings on their hands?

The main purpose of a storage ring was convenience and privacy; wearing it on the hand was like being afraid that others wouldn't know he had storage.

Therefore, what Chen De saw was that, apart from some young martial artists, everyone else had their own places for them.

Some tied them in their hair, some swallowed them into their stomachs, some wore them on their fingers, and some put them on...

Anyway, everyone had their own places to put them, and these two guys were the same; retrieving them nearly made Chen De die of awkwardness.

After taking these things, Chen De immediately started his first wave of refining.

He did not choose to upgrade the Sheng Chu System, but instead used all the energy on the Magic Armor Master System.

Consequently, by borrowing the power obtained from refining, he successfully broke through to the Silver Rank.

Looking from the outside, apart from the colors being more vivid and the helmet turning silver, there were no other changes.

As for power, after putting on the magic armor, it had indeed increased by a notch, but not by much.

He felt that he should still be at the Gold Rank combat power level for now, though his tier should not be low.

Suddenly, another entity was approaching Chen De's position at high speed.

After noticing this, he relied on his agile movements to easily dodge the attack.

Damn it, a sneak attack!

Chen De never expected that he, who had always been the one to use such tactics, would be taught a lesson by someone else today!

The figure brushed past him, snapping countless large trees.

Accompanied by a huge explosion, the figure finally stopped, kicking up large clouds of dust.

"Where did this stray dog come from, daring to touch my, Chan Jie's, subordinates?"

As the smoke cleared, a quite tall figure slowly emerged.

Of course, judging by Chen De's current physique, it was still not as tall and imposing as Chen De.

In a battle between two sides, size was not the key; the most important thing was the gap in strength and cultivation realm between the two.

And now, according to Chen De's judgment, what he encountered should be a platinum Magic Armor Master.

His luck had suddenly turned bad again today...

Chan Jie looked at the scene where Pei Hong had been stripped bare, his body a bloody mess, and the anger on his face was almost impossible to suppress.

Pei Hong was the subordinate he valued the most, even being groomed as his successor.

Not long ago, Pei Hong told Chan Jie that he had a deep blood feud to settle.

Now that he had cultivated to the Gold Rank and believed he had the strength to take revenge, as his chosen successor, Chan Jie naturally agreed.

But he still followed him personally. Upon seeing his so-called enemy, he saw at a glance that he posed no danger to Pei Hong.

Thus, he stopped paying attention, thinking he could leave early.

After all, if he couldn't even deal with this kind of trash, what kind of successor would he be? He might as well find a clean place and finish himself off.

But now he was dead, and not even killed by that enemy, which made Chan Jie feel as miserable as if his own son had died.

As a platinum Magic Armor Master, although the magic armor on Chen De was multicolored.

He could sense from inside when it was worn on his body that the other party was merely a Silver Rank.

As for how he managed to kill Pei Hong, it was very likely a sneak attack while he was relaxing his vigilance after having his revenge.

And Pei Hong, caught off guard, fell into the other party's trap and was successfully killed by someone of a lower rank.

Needless to say, when Pei Hong was ambushed, he must have removed his magic armor.

Otherwise, a mere Silver Rank wouldn't have been able to easily ambush a Gold Rank, even if he was relaxing his vigilance.

But in front of Chan Jie, he had already put on his magic armor.

With the absolute gap in strength, even if he stood there and let the other party hit him, he wouldn't be able to do any damage.

Actually, on the other side, Chen De was also pondering how to escape from the current situation.

In the end, he decided to strike first and catch him off guard.
