Chapter 1162 Who is their master?

"To have pushed General Black Viper to this extent, those two are truly honored!!!"

Another general chimed in, his tone tinged with emotion.

Under the Black Viper General's full-force crushing attack, even with armor protecting him, he would probably not escape death.

"However, when General Black Viper gets serious, even if they have armor to protect them, they probably won't escape death, right?!"

Some people shook their heads, their eyes full of certainty, after all, General Black Viper's strength was already top-notch among the generals of Ashes City.

General Black Viper ignored the surrounding discussions. He slowly clenched his right fist, and the muscles on his arm instantly tensed.

The black scales that were originally covering the area protruded slightly, outlining a powerful silhouette, as if they contained the power to shatter mountains.

He took a deep breath, and his forked tongue flicked out again. The surrounding void began to tremble slightly, rippling out in circles.

The next moment, his figure vanished from the spot like smoke blown away by the wind!

The generals present narrowed their eyes and stared intently, but could only catch a blurry black shadow flash by in the void, unable to discern its specific movements.

You Ruo and Xie Purou felt a chill run down their spines. They channeled their divine power to the limit and scanned their surroundings warily, but they couldn't even pinpoint the Black Viper General's aura.

Only Ye Chen, standing in the crowd, remained in place, his expression calm, his gaze fixed on the rapidly moving black figure as if it were a physical object, as if the Black Viper General's speed was no different from that of an ordinary person walking.

The warning signs in Xie Purou's heart grew stronger and stronger.

She was about to warn Senior Sister You Ruo to be careful when a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. A strong, pungent stench mixed with the chilling aura of snake scales hit her face, almost making her vomit.

"not good!!!"

Xie Purou gasped inwardly, instinctively retreating while simultaneously thrusting her hands forward. Her immortal power surged wildly, and crimson Nine Tribulation Divine Lightning condensed in her palms, instantly transforming into a ten-zhang-long lightning pattern, like a giant electric net, blocking the path between her and General Black Viper.

The Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning, with its explosive and destructive power, is enough to make any strong person wary.

Almost everyone who touches the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning meets a bad end!

However, when General Black Viper's fist, covered in dark scales and accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed down, the lightning patterns intertwined in front of Xie Purou were as fragile as glass!

The lightning patterns, which were originally solid like crimson chains, exploded the moment the fist force touched them, turning into hundreds of twisted and wildly dancing red lightning snakes, scattering and flying in all directions with crackling electricity!

Some crashed into the void, creating tiny spatial ripples; others landed on the distant city wall, blasting out scorch marks before vanishing without a trace!

However, even after the power of the punch shattered the lightning pattern, its residual force remained undiminished. The fist wind, carrying the pressure of a peak Hunyuan Divine Emperor, slammed into Xie Purou's chest like a heavy hammer!

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar exploded in the void, and the shockwave spread out in a ring, causing the robes of the spectators in the distance to flutter.

Xie Purou's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and a faint red light film appeared on the surface of her armor.

The light membrane fluctuated violently at the moment of impact with the fist, and countless fine runes moved and flickered on the armor, managing to withstand this devastating blow.

Her hair was whipped about by the blast wave, and although no blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, her cheeks were flushed from the impact.

His armor was covered in dust, making him look rather disheveled.

But the tough light membrane never broke, ultimately saving her life and preventing her from suffering any real injury.

Xie Purou, who was sent flying, used the cushioning force of her armor to leave a long red trail in the air. The trail, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, lasted for several breaths before slowly fading away.

She suddenly swung her arms, her divine power surging rapidly within her body. Finally, she managed to stabilize herself a hundred feet above the ground, her toes barely touching the air, creating a faint energy ripple.

Her brows were furrowed, her clear eyes were filled with seriousness, and her lips were tightly pursed.

This was the first time she had personally experienced the terrifying power of a peak Primordial God Emperor.

That overwhelming pressure made her feel a chill run down her spine, even though she was protected by armor, and she was completely unable to withstand it head-on!

"Peak of the Primordial God Emperor!!!"

Xie Purou took a deep breath, and the heaviness in her chest gradually dissipated, but her eyes blazed with a fierce fire. Her voice carried a hint of unwillingness, but also contained endless stubbornness.

"One day, even without the power of my armor, I will be able to defeat you all, even annihilate you!!!"

She was not discouraged by the punch she received; instead, it fueled her fighting spirit.

The flame of desire for power in my heart burned even more fiercely and thoroughly, as if fueled by more firewood.

Relying on armor is ultimately just an external force, like water without a source or a tree without roots; it is not a power that truly belongs to her.

Only by cultivating diligently day and night, honing one's divine power, and tempering one's soul can one reach the peak of the Primordial God Emperor realm as soon as possible, truly becoming independent and capable of standing on one's own without relying on external things!

"Junior sister!!!"

High in the distance, You Ruo stood on flowing, dark blue water, the water carrying her like a living thing, exuding a refreshing coolness.

The moment she saw Xie Purou being sent flying by a punch, her beautiful face instantly lost all color, her eyebrows furrowed, and her voice was filled with unconcealed worry. She instinctively wanted to rush forward.

However, before she could finish speaking, a chilling aura suddenly enveloped her.

A tall, imposing black figure appeared before her without warning.

The figure was three zhang tall, like a moving black mountain. Its shadow enveloped You Ruo, making her feel an instant sense of suffocation.

The newcomer was none other than General Black Viper!

You Ruo's pupils suddenly contracted, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she did not panic.

She immediately exerted all her strength, and the immortal power within her body surged to her hands like a tide.

A stream of dark blue water, about the thickness of a bucket, instantly condensed.

The water, containing both strength and gentleness, surfaced with fine runes and surged forward with a "whoosh" sound, fiercely attacking General Black Viper in an attempt to block his offensive.

Faced with this fierce attack, General Black Viper remained indifferent, his face showing no emotion whatsoever. He didn't even use any defensive measures, as if the water in front of him was not worth mentioning at all, and simply ignored it.

"Crash!!!"

This stream of water appears gentle, but it is actually incredibly powerful. If it were to strike an ordinary late-stage Divine Emperor, it would be enough to pierce through their body and severely injure them.

But when the water slammed into the Black Viper General, it only made a dull sound, and only made him stop in his tracks for less than a breath before being easily dissolved by the black scales on his body!

General Black Viper tilted its head slightly, its forked black tongue flicking out and making a soft hissing sound.

His pale gold vertical pupils were long and cold, exuding a sinister, emotionless aura, as if he were looking at a dead object.

The water flowed onto his scales, which writhed slightly like living things, layer upon layer, instantly dispersing the violent power contained in the water flow, turning it into countless fine water droplets that scattered into the void.

In terms of defense, his physical body has been tempered over millions of years and has long since reached an indestructible level, and his strength is equally astonishing!

Youruo's power at this moment was like a tickle to him, unable to break through his defenses at all!

"Even with the help of external forces, you will only be able to survive."

General Black Viper floated in the void, surrounded by a faint black mist. He looked down at You Ruo, his tone indifferent and devoid of any warmth, as cold as ice.

"But surviving now doesn't mean you'll be immortal later! Once your armor is broken, your mere mid-stage God-King strength will be nothing more than two ants I can crush at will!!!"

Despite his contemptuous words, You Ruo was neither angry nor flustered.

Instead, she slightly raised her chin, a confident smile playing on her lips, her eyes flashing with mockery, and coldly snorted, "Hmph, then wait until you shatter my armor!!!"

This armor was crafted by our master, using a fusion of various precious materials. Its defensive capabilities far surpass those of ordinary treasures in the world, needless to say.

Want to break the armor?

It’s simply a fool’s errand!

How can it be so easy?

General Black Viper looked at her confident demeanor and spoke coldly, a hint of disdain in his voice: "You're all too confident!!!"

You Ruo's smile widened, but a barely perceptible glint of cunning flashed in her eyes. Her tone carried a hint of provocation: "You're the ones who's confident! This is just the appetizer. If we wait for my master to make his move, you won't even know how you died!!!"

She knew in her heart that she and her junior sister had been on the battlefield for a long time and had almost finished their business.

The situation is growing larger, and more and more experts from Ash City are being deployed. The armor worn by the two of them alone is no longer enough to handle the situation.

Therefore, there's no need to say more. This battle will soon be handed over to our master, and it's time for the two of them to withdraw from this battlefield.

Upon hearing her words, General Black Viper's raised arm stiffened slightly in mid-air for a moment, his scale-covered fingers curling slightly before slowly lowering back down.

He had long suspected that these two girls who dared to cause trouble in the City of Ashes must have powerful backgrounds and backers.

Now, her words confirm that this is indeed the case.

Moreover, the master she mentioned is very likely watching silently from somewhere on the scene!

General Black Viper's attention instantly shifted away from the two girls, You Ruo and Xie Purou.

Those pale golden vertical pupils slowly turned, looking towards the dense crowd outside the city.

The crowds are bustling and crowded. After this period of congestion and accumulation, there are at least tens of millions of people outside the city!

If nothing unexpected happens, the mysterious master the girl mentioned has been hiding in the crowd, coldly observing this farce!

Instead of wasting time with these two girls who are protected by armor and are neither dead nor injured, it would be better to find that so-called master first and kill him in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles!

The others present also realized this instantly.

The generals of Ash City all concealed their auras, their eyes as sharp as hawks, their tangible gazes sweeping across the crowd, carefully examining each person's face, figure, and even the fluctuations of their aura.

Trying to find something suspicious among these seemingly ordinary people!

The crowd began to stir, looking at each other with curiosity and trepidation.

They wanted to see if there was a hidden, unparalleled expert among them, but they couldn't help feeling quite surprised.

These two girls, who were only at the mid-stage of the God King realm, were already able to hold their own against the Black Viper General, a peak-level Primordial God Emperor, thanks to their armor.

So, just how powerful are their masters?

Could it be that he has already surpassed the God Emperor realm and reached the legendary higher level?

In the crowd, everyone was looking around, their eyes scanning the faces of everyone around them.

Whispers rose and fell, some people tiptoed to peek ahead, others raised their hands to shield their eyes and gazed into the distance, even their breathing was filled with a tense anticipation.

Everyone wanted to see for themselves who this amazing master was who had taught those two powerful women.

Only Cao Jian, amidst the noisy crowd, suddenly froze, as if struck by lightning. His pupils dilated sharply, and a long-neglected fragment flashed through his mind.

He then turned his head in astonishment, his gaze fixed on Ye Chen not far away.

If he remembered correctly, this man in plain white clothes had clearly appeared at the city gate with those two women!

They're clearly in cahoots!

Previously, his attention was completely drawn to You Ruo and Xie Purou's amazing strength and dazzling armor, his eyes almost glued to them.

They regarded the taciturn man beside them as an insignificant attendant, finding it superfluous to even glance at him, and simply ignored him.

Later, You Ruo and Xie Purou went on a killing spree in the city, engaging in fierce battles with many of the generals who had destroyed the city.

Sword light and immortal power intertwined, and the explosions were deafening. Everyone's attention was firmly drawn to this earth-shattering battle.

No one paid any attention to an "unremarkable attendant".

But now, after hearing the conversation between the two women and General Black Viper, and hearing their resounding "Master," Cao Jian's mind was jolted awake as if struck by a heavy hammer.

He finally remembered that, from beginning to end, there had been a man with a calm and composed demeanor by the side of both girls!

"Could it be him?!"

Cao Jian's heart pounded wildly, and his voice trembled almost imperceptibly.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with astonishment, even mixed with a bit of disbelief and shock, staring intently in Ye Chen's direction.

It was at this moment that he truly calmed down and began to examine the man.
