Chapter 231: Chapter 229: Black Gold Silk Armor

"Hahaha, you heard him! It’s not that I’m disrespecting you—the old bastard is asking for it himself."

"Get him! Kill him."

Wen Bufan laughed and once again signaled to the men from the City Lord’s Mansion.

He had never intended to let Elder Qi go in the first place.

Nor did he have any intention of giving Murong Xiangming face.

This was despite his own interest in her.

Helpless, Murong Xiangming had no choice but to step back.

She stood to the side with Jiang Chen for the time being.

"Jiang Chen, what do we do? Are we just going to stand here and watch Elder Qi fight them?"

"If something happens to Elder Qi, your Cyan Silkworm will be a lost cause."

She was speaking the truth.

Right now, Elder Qi definitely did not have the upper hand.

The other side had so many people, and what’s more, the men from the City Lord’s Mansion were all well-equipped.

Lin Hai also had a Martial Master Peak of Nine Heavens Cultivation, the same as Elder Qi.

With the other guards coordinating, Elder Qi wouldn’t be able to hold them off, even with his Cyan Silk.

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Let’s wait. If Elder Qi is defeated, we’ll step in and save him."

"If he wins, then we don’t need to help."

In the end, Murong Xiangming could only nod in agreement.

"In that case, I’ll just have to teach you all another lesson today."

Elder Qi was a proud man. Having been pushed this far, there was no way he would submit to the City Lord’s Mansion.

As he spoke, dense strands of Cyan Silk swirled around his body.

This wasn’t just simple Cyan Silk; silks from other types of silkworms were mixed in.

Jiang Chen could see at least three different kinds of silk among them.

The silk strands began to dance.

Every single strand was a deadly weapon.

Silk capable of killing a Martial Master expert.

Silk itself is an extremely tough material. The older the silkworm, the tougher the silk it produces.

It could even be compared to a Treasure Artifact.

In particular, silk from a silkworm over a hundred years old had the durability of a Treasure Artifact at minimum.

Of course, silkworms over ten years old had already become Demon Beasts.

A silkworm over a hundred years old would itself possess a Martial Master’s Cultivation.

"Kill!"

The men from the City Lord’s Mansion immediately charged toward Elder Qi.

Each one wielded a Magical Treasure, their killing intent palpable.

The two sides immediately erupted into a fierce battle in the courtyard.

"PSST!"

A Martial Master expert from the City Lord’s Mansion had just charged within five meters of Elder Qi.

In that instant, a strand of silk shot out. It was nearly transparent and incredibly fast.

Even though the Martial Master expert reacted quickly, he was still grazed by the silk.

The next moment, a huge gash appeared on his neck. The silk had sliced his throat open.

Blood gushed out uncontrollably.

"Gah... gurgle..."

The Martial Master expert clutched his neck, but the silk had nearly severed it completely. He couldn’t stop the bleeding at all.

"THUD..."

The Martial Master expert struggled for a few moments, then fell to the ground, convulsing. He stopped breathing not long after.

Many of the City Lord’s Mansion guards were terrified when they saw how frightening Elder Qi’s silk was.

But they didn’t dare hesitate and continued to charge recklessly toward Elder Qi.

Elder Qi’s fingers danced, and the silk strands flew nimbly under his control, weaving through the crowd.

"SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!"

Within the crowd, the guards from the City Lord’s Mansion fell one after another.

Wherever the silk swept past them, it would leave a wound or even sever their limbs.

The bloodshed was horrific.

In a short period, the men from the City Lord’s Mansion had suffered heavy casualties.

Wen Bufan stood to the side watching, his expression growing darker and darker.

’Damned old bastard. To think he’s this strong.’

He shot a look at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai immediately understood.

He shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

At that, the guards who had been charging as if they had a death wish hastily retreated. They had been thoroughly terrified by Elder Qi’s slaughter.

They fell back as if they had seen a ghost.

At this moment, Lin Hai snorted coldly.

"Old bastard, watch how I deal with you."

"Last time, you nearly severed my arm. Today is the day I get my revenge."

With that, he took a step forward, his Martial Master Peak of Nine Heavens Cultivation flaring to life.

A fearsome aura radiated from him, confronting Elder Qi’s from a distance.

Elder Qi said proudly, "If I could sever your arm once, I can do it again."

His recent victory had made Elder Qi a bit complacent and arrogant.

"What a joke. Do you think we would have dared to come here unprepared?"

"Watch this."

As Lin Hai finished speaking, he slapped his waist.

He roared, "Black Gold Silk Armor, appear!"

A flash of light burst from his body, revealing a black radiance.

Then, a layer of black armor, like a suit of mail, instantly covered Lin Hai’s body.

The moment the Black Gold Silk Armor appeared on Lin Hai, Elder Qi’s expression changed drastically.

He exclaimed in shock, "The Black Gold Silk Armor! That’s the Black Gold Silk Armor?"

The Black Gold Silk Armor was a treasure specifically designed to counter his silk.

Silk could not harm this kind of treasure at all.

It was the ultimate nemesis of his silk.

Elder Qi’s heart sank.

His most powerful technique was his silk, but he never expected them to find the Black Gold Silk Armor to counter it.

With this, the effectiveness of his silk against his opponent would be greatly diminished.

His Combat Power would plummet.

The small bit of joy from his earlier victory vanished without a trace.

Only unease remained in his heart.

When he saw his opponent’s Black Gold Silk Armor appear, he knew he was doomed today.

"Haha, I didn’t think you’d recognize my Black Gold Silk Armor."

"This was prepared specifically for you."

"Now die, old man!"

Lin Hai laughed heartily, then his body shot up in an instant, lunging straight for Elder Qi.

He wielded a great saber, his aura surging.

"Mad Saber Technique, kill!"

Lin Hai executed the Mad Saber Technique.

The blade was sharp and fierce as it slashed toward Elder Qi.

"I’ll fight you to the death..."

Elder Qi knew he was facing disaster, but he didn’t shrink back in the slightest. Instead, with a flash in his eyes, he charged toward Lin Hai.

Every one of Lin Hai’s slashes was terrifyingly powerful.

The wind from his blade sent plants and dust flying throughout the courtyard.

Elder Qi was at a great disadvantage, having lost both his legs.

"SWISH! SWISH!"

The dancing silk strands lashed fiercely at Lin Hai’s body.

But on Lin Hai, the Black Gold Silk Armor flashed with light.

"THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!"

A repulsive force emerged, directly flinging Elder Qi’s silk away.

The incredibly tough silk was actually unable to leave a single mark on the Black Gold Silk Armor.

As the nemesis of silk, the Black Gold Silk Armor was specifically designed to defeat it.

The effect was incredibly clear.

"Haha, you can’t hurt me, but I can kill you..."

Lin Hai charged into the storm of silk, ignoring the terrifying strands, and brought his saber down viciously on Elder Qi.

"Die!"

This slash contained nearly all of his Cultivation Power.

He unleashed the full power of the Martial Master Peak of Nine Heavens.

Elder Qi saw that his silk was completely useless against his opponent. Right now, Lin Hai was like a tortoise in its shell—invulnerable.

He knew that prolonging the fight was pointless.

He could only try to attack Lin Hai’s weak spots with the silk.

But at that moment, his opponent’s saber came slashing down.

He hastily gathered the silk in front of him.

He attempted to block the saber strike.

"BANG!"

In that instant, the bundle of silk was actually sent flying by the opponent’s slash.

Luckily, the silk was tough. An ordinary Magical Treasure would have been shattered long ago.

But the momentum of the saber didn’t lessen in the slightest as it came down fiercely.

Elder Qi hurriedly controlled all his silk to form a barrier in front of him.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

His opponent’s saber was too ferocious, sending strands of silk flying everywhere.
