34: Wood Monster vs Light Armor

“Tsk.”

Watching Cheng Yang evade the tree roots he summoned, the Mysterious Person revealed an expression of disgust and disdain.

Then, he raised his hand again.

Green light condensed in his outstretched palm, and in an instant, it transformed into a ten-meter-long wooden spear, sharp as a lance, aimed at Cheng Yang.

His raised hand fell.

The sharp wooden spear pierced through the air, whistling as it tore through the water droplets in the sky, unstoppable as it thrust towards Cheng Yang.

It seemed intent on nailing this agile ape directly to the ground.

With the Summoner right before his eyes, Cheng Yang felt a chill down his spine.

He would die.

For some inexplicable reason, this feeling filled Cheng Yang’s heart.

Even his heart rate surpassed its limit, providing him with physical abilities beyond the norm.

If it were an ordinary human, their heart beating at this speed would likely not last even a few seconds before dying.

He quickly turned his head and saw an astonishing wooden spear almost reaching his eyes, about to impale him.

His Mind’s Eye, within a two-meter radius, instantly operated beyond its limits.

Everything around him seemed to slow down as if time had stopped.

“Light Shadow Sword!”

Almost instinctively, following the faint light within his body, the Light Bloodline that had been reformed by light, he moved.

Cheng Yang drew out the [Light Shadow Sword F] card.

Golden light flashed, and the Light Shadow Sword appeared in his palm. From bottom to top, he poured all his strength into an upward slash, striking at the wooden spear.

Everything happened in a flash.

The Mysterious Person only saw a flash of golden light, and then Cheng Yang, holding the Light Shadow Sword, slashed at the wooden spear.

His body was flung out like a rag doll, rolling onto the ground.

The web between his thumb and forefinger split open, blood gushed out, and even his pale white hand bones were visible.

“He can even use a weapon card without relying on the Summoner?”

The Mysterious Person looked at Cheng Yang warily.

Although he had always looked down on humans, possessing an instinctive arrogance towards them.

However, once he came into contact with the Summoner and that set of Armor of Light.

He became genuinely wary.

As if… he was afraid.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

“How could my body, with its noble bloodline, possibly be afraid!”

“Absolutely impossible!”

“I must kill this guy, crush that armor, crush that Summoner!”

The Mysterious Person’s gaze became even more dangerous. He landed on the ground, and a green long blade reappeared in his hand.

The killing intent in his eyes seemed to want to crush the object of his fear, to prove that his inner caution was not born of fear.

However, even now, he still maintained his human form.

And had not reverted to his Wood Monster form.

“Cough, cough.”

Cheng Yang’s hand trembled as he used the Light Shadow Sword to support his body. His blood-blurred eyes narrowed as he looked at the approaching figure, who was holding a blade.

At this time, all the surrounding passersby had been frightened and scattered, fleeing.

Everything around him began to grow quiet.

It was as if the entire world was left with only that figure, holding a blade, constantly approaching.

In Cheng Yang’s sight, he could already see it.

As that figure moved, taking step after step, it solidified, pouring out, rolling, and pressing down on the darkness that covered the sky.

This oppressive feeling was completely different from the previous Wood Monster’s!

However…

Cheng Yang extended his blood-stained hand, tightly gripping the golden-glowing Summoner.

With his recent attack, he had also successfully retrieved his Summoner.

He could transform now.

He took a deep breath, calming the pain in his body.

He raised the Summoner and pressed it against the belt that had already been summoned to his waist.

Then he drew out the [Armor of Light] card, his gaze unwavering, staring directly at the Mysterious Person’s position.

“Armor of Light.”

Click!

“Combine!”

Accompanied by a flash of golden light, golden patterns unfolded on the ground, like some mysterious magic circle.

Then, golden light shone from the patterns beneath his feet, enveloping his entire body and outlining the form of a white-gold armor.

His body’s injuries also stabilized slightly with the transformation, and the pain from breathing was stopped.

“Let me personally show you the power of the Armor of Light.”

Cheng Yang gripped the Light Shadow Sword tightly, not avoiding it, but instead, charging towards the Wood Monster’s astonishing oppressive feeling.

His body transformed into a golden streak as he sped forward.

Thick tree roots broke through the ground, twisting and entangling towards Cheng Yang, forming a large net in front of him, as if to intercept and bind him in place.

But Cheng Yang’s movements did not stop at all. He held the sword with both hands, and sharp sword qi continuously slashed out.

The golden light he transformed into did not hesitate, easily cutting through the tree roots and piercing towards the Mysterious Person.

Clang!

A crisp collision sound, followed by a visible ripple that stirred up stagnant water and spread outwards around the collision.

The Light Shadow Sword had already collided with the green blade, sparking golden flames.

“I will crush you along with this armor.”

The Mysterious Person’s face, close at hand, revealed a smile. Then, he put force into his blade, and green light shone.

The immense force actually sent Cheng Yang flying backward, constantly retreating.

This power!

Cheng Yang quickly stabilized himself, thrusting his blade again. His arm armor glowed with golden light, and several golden blades simultaneously thrust out.

But the Mysterious Person, holding the blade with one hand, made two swishing sounds. No blade shadow was seen, only the sound of the blade, and he had already cut through Cheng Yang’s offensive.

Too fast!

His Mind’s Eye expanded, and everything around him began to slow down. Cheng Yang finally captured the shadow of the blade, crossing his blade to block the descending strike.

But the immense force that followed made him bend his body, almost kneeling.

“How much strength do you think I’ve shown?”

The Mysterious Person once again resumed his contemptuous posture, but he swung his blade again, even faster, showing no sign of carelessness.

Clearly, although he was contemptuous now, he was not careless.

“Shining Form! Constant Shine!”

Without hesitation, Cheng Yang’s breathing changed, and his heart once again beat rapidly.

However, this time, the beating was not only to provide his body with power beyond its limits.

It was to modify and drive the armor’s power, and maintain the armor’s shine.

As the armor glowed with dazzling light, the armor’s power was fully driven.

Speed and strength were also fully unleashed.

Everything in his Mind’s Eye once again slowed down.

Ding, ding, ding!

Illusory shadows collided in the air, and two figures sped across the water, separating with a touch, then colliding again.

Under the extreme speed of the collisions, only the ripples spreading across the water could determine the trajectory of their battle and the location of their collisions.

Another collision!

The ground cracked from the impact of the collision, and the water on the ground exploded into droplets in the air, then shattered into mist.

Blade rubbed against blade, the Mysterious Person’s face was close at hand, staring directly at Cheng Yang’s faceplate.

“Shining Form, if I’m not mistaken, is this your limit?”

Listening to the Mysterious Person’s voice, Cheng Yang did not reply.

The Light Shadow Sword glowed with golden light, fiercely slashing the latter open.

The two once again pulled apart.

Cheng Yang landed on the ground, stepping on the water.

And the Mysterious Person, following Cheng Yang’s attack, jumped onto a streetlamp, looking down at Cheng Yang from above.

“If this is your limit, then what you will face next is despair.”

“Witness my noble form, my noble bloodline, and…”

“My power, which is beyond your reach.”

As his voice fell, visible darkness gushed out, like surging mist, enveloping the sky.

In an instant, even Cheng Yang’s glowing armor seemed to be suppressed and covered by this darkness.

Its light even dimmed a bit.
