The jet-black dagger exuded a sinister and ghastly aura. It went through Xiao Luos True Inner Force Barrier and pierced his chest.

It was beyond Xiao Luos expectation for conventional weapons could never penetrate his True Inner Force Barrier. It would leave only one other explanation. The dagger was unique and not a common item. He immediately extended his hand to intercept it. If it were to pierce his heart, it would mean he simply failed to execute the most basic form of defense on his part.

STAB!

The black dagger pierced through his palm easily, and blood oozed from the wound.

Harrgh!

Chen Feng screamed viciously. He held the dagger with both hands and continued to push until it finally pierced Xiao Luos left shoulder. Then he stopped.

Xiao Luo looked at the dagger that had pierced through his right palm and into his left shoulder. He frowned as acute pain surged up to his brain.

Chen Feng had a smug grin and whispered to Xiao Luo so only he could hear him. Brother Xiao, you are reckless, are you not? This dagger is an Immortal-grade god weapon, typically used by assassins in their missions. Even a barrier composed of True Inner Force means nothing to it. This dagger can easily kill you. Hehe, hehe

Very well, then. I want the dagger too. You can go to hell

Xiao Luo responded in the same whispered tone, and his eyes glowered with murderous intent.

A few moments later, Xiao Luo discharged a powerful surge of explosive energy from his body. There was no scorching temperature or dazzling flames, but just an eruption of sheer True Inner Force.

BAM!

Chen Feng took the brunt of the force, and both his arms were torn from his body and flew off. Blood spurted from his mouth and nose before he lost control and plunged to the ground in a horrific state of mutilation.

The swirling energy rumbled before it sent waves of destructive force over thousands of meters in all directions. All the Martial Emperors still in mid-air suffered from the brutal shock. Blood spurted out from their mouths as they plummeted down from the sky. Some Martial Emperors smashed into the dwarven buildings, and the iron-cast buildings collapsed instantly, falling apart like hastily built structures.

Except for Ghost, everyone else in the square was knocked to the ground. Screams rang out in all directions. Even the Dwarven Elders on the stage were on the verge of being blown away, and all the citizens across Tarawa City felt strong tremors.

Woah, that was impressive!

It was the first time Ghost had seen Xiao Luo not holding back, and it appeared like he was removing withered tree stumps.

He is at the Martial Saint level, for your information. Its not a joke. Have you forgotten the day when he stoked fear into the Elders of your Sucking Blood Clan? Duck Emperor reminded Ghost of the incident in the Dark Forest.

This is why I say Luo is so handsome, Ghost said, giggling.

In the meantime, crowds of people were slowly getting up from the ground. Many saw the dagger stuck in Xiao Luo. They had seen Chen Feng charging at Xiao Luo before he unleashed that cataclysmic burst of energy. Suddenly, the truth immediately came to light.

He brought a weapon. It violates the rules!

The dagger does not seem like an ordinary dagger. Otherwise, it could not have injured the mysterious young man.

I can recognize him now. He is Chen Feng of the Snow Mountain Faction. He is sinister in character and a master in scheming. The Snow Mountain Faction overcame all the other factions around them. He played a pivotal role in all their defeats. A leader of a sect even treated him as his sworn brother. But in the end, Chen Feng secretly murdered him with poison.

Going against the rules of the competition by using a weapon was dreadful enough. But using it to ambush another competitor was the most shameless form of assault. Everyone stood on Xiao Luos side and condemned Chen Feng for his dastardly deed. Some people who recognized Chen Feng revealed more of the vile nature of the Snow Mountain Faction. At that moment, Chen Feng became a public enemy.

The blast from the True Inner Force had torn off his arms, and blood oozed from his wounds. The force also badly mutilated his chest and thighs. Chen Feng laid on the ground, shrieking miserably. He knew he would have been better off dead.

Xiao Luo pulled out the black dagger and slowly descended to the ground. His palm and the left shoulder had almost recovered by the time he landed.

You are not dead?

He looked at Chen Feng, a little surprised. He was within the range where he would have taken the full impact of the blast. Yet he was still alivewhere was the logic? By right, Chen Feng should have been a pile of mutilated flesh.

I I have a tough constitution. Haha haha Enduring the excruciating pain, Chen Feng laughed maniacally.

Tough constitution?

Xiao Luo stared at the despicable man on the ground. As he looked closer, he noticed that Chen Feng was wearing something inside. Against his bloody mutilated flesh, Xiao Luo saw a gleaming, golden metallic surface.

Xiao Luo extended his hand toward Chen Feng and closed his fist, and the man instantly flew toward him.

What what are you going to do? asked Chen Feng nervously. His heart thumped rapidly as an unbridled fear took hold of him.

Xiao Luo did not respond. He ripped off Chen Fengs blood-drenched outer clothing to reveal a golden vest to the crowd.

It is the Lunar Armor! Lu De muttered the name of the vest in surprise.

Lunar Armor?

So this is the legendary defense god weapon which people say can even stop a blow from a Martial Saint!

The ancestors of the dwarves forged the Lunar Armor. Thousands of years ago, it fell into the hands of outsiders, and its whereabouts remained unknown ever since. Who would have thought that Chen Feng would be the one wearing it?

The crowd took a deep breath. No one expected the disciple of the Snow Mountain Faction would come equipped with an Immortal-grade god weapon.

Interesting. Are you continually trying to gift me with god weapons?

Xiao Luo said with a sarcastic smile. He extended his other hand to pull the Lunar Armor off Chen Fengs body.

The Lunar Armor glowed with a faint brilliance that seemed exquisite to the eye. But its aura told a far different story, for it was tainted with darkness and misfortune.

After tugging at it for a while, Xiao Luo realized he could not remove the Lunar Armor. It was fused to Chen Fengs flesh and caused him much pain when Xiao Luo tried to peel it off him. Chen Feng kept on screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

The Lunar Armor has recognized him as its owner. Unless he dies or removes it himself, no one can take the Lunar Armor off him, said Lu De in his booming voice.

I see!

Xiao Luo raised an eyebrow. His eyes on Chen Feng became chillingly sinister.

What what are you going to do? Dont you dare to mess around here! We are in Dwarven territory, and the Dwarven Elders are over there. If you dare to do anything, you will not leave this place alive

Chen Feng had forcibly increased his cultivation up to the Martial Emperor level. With his heightened vitality, he had slightly recovered and was in much greater spirits. However, when he looked into Xiao Luos eyes, Chen Feng could not help shivering. Xiao Luo planned to kill him to get the Lunar Armor. It had to be the plan he had in mind. Without his arms, there was nothing Chen Feng could do to protect himself.

Arrgh!

Suddenly, two miserable screams echoed in the square.

Everyone looked over to the source of the screams and saw a man and a woman being knocked away from Xiao Luos blade stuck in the ground. They were the companions who had followed Chen Fengthe guy and the girl whom Ghost had beaten up earlier.

Seeing them fall over, a few people quickly rushed over to help them.

Xiao Luo looked at Chen Feng with a lop-sided smile and said, So, you guys were thinking about stealing my blade!

I I

Chen Feng could not find a way out of this mess. Those two dumbasses were detestable. Could they not gauge the situation? Their opponent was a vicious person, yet they were still foolish enough to go after the blade. Even worse, it was that during such a critical moment where his life was at stake, and their failed attempt undoubtedly pushed him closer to the jaws of death.
