#340 - The Armor of Heavenly Tribulation is Indestructible
The Evil Slaughter King's body was now pierced by four sharp blades.
However, to everyone's astonishment, the moment these four blades penetrated an inch into the Evil Slaughter King's body, they seemed to encounter an immensely powerful force, like an indestructible barrier, staunchly preventing the blades from going deeper.
Even with the power of lightning frantically driving and pushing the ends of the four divine weapons, the immense electrical energy, like a surging tide, attempted to forcefully send the blades into the Evil Slaughter King's body.
Yet, the blades seemed frozen in time, unable to advance even a fraction further.
Thus, although the Evil Slaughter King was injured, his life was not yet in danger.
His face was contorted in pain, his features slightly twisted by the intense agony.
However, the internal force within him surged like a torrential flood, powerfully resisting the further intrusion of the four blades.
At the same time, he was exerting all his strength to protect his heart and other vital points, his unwavering spirit resembling a majestic mountain, standing firm despite the raging storm.
His eyes blazed, coldly staring at the battle puppet Iron Blood Butcher hovering in mid-air not far away, his voice low and filled with chill as he said in a deep voice:
"Your move is indeed formidable!"
"If you were a Second-Rank martial artist, I fear I would have already perished here."
"But alas, you are merely a Third-Rank!"
The Evil Slaughter King's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves in the valley.
Everyone present was utterly astonished.
So, this mysterious expert who had descended like a divine being was only a Third-Rank martial artist?
Countless questions surged in everyone's minds.
The person before them was tightly wrapped in armor, completely obscuring their appearance.
The martial arts they displayed were unheard of and unseen, exuding an aura of mystery and strangeness.
"Can he... really defeat the Evil Slaughter King?"
"I'm afraid not..."
An endless sense of pessimism filled everyone's hearts.
After all, Third-Rank against Second-Rank, that was a whole realm of difference!
While there were occasional stories of challenging opponents of higher ranks, they mostly occurred among lower-level martial artists.
Moreover, the lower the martial artist's level, the higher the probability of successfully challenging a higher-ranked opponent.
Because in the lower-level stages, the quality of the secret manuals learned, the quality of the weapons used, and the differences in the martial artist's own talent could all have a huge impact.
They could even often play a decisive role.
However, as the martial artist's level continued to rise, the probability of successfully challenging a higher-ranked opponent became increasingly slim.
Liang Jin had once defeated Wang Zhi, a Third-Rank, with his Fourth-Rank strength, which was already shocking and unbelievable to everyone.
But once reaching a higher level, especially above the Third-Rank, the possibility of successfully challenging a higher-ranked opponent was almost zero.
After all, martial artists who could cultivate to this level were all exceptionally talented and could be called geniuses.
Without extraordinary talent, it was impossible to cultivate to the Third-Rank realm.
At this level, resources such as high-quality martial arts manuals and divine weapons were basically already possessed.
And these factors had become difficult to use as key factors determining victory or defeat in battles at this level.
Therefore, after hearing the mysterious expert's realm, the flame of hope that had just ignited in everyone's hearts was instantly extinguished as if doused with cold water, turning into deep disappointment.
Just then, the Evil Slaughter King's body suddenly trembled violently.
"Boom!!!"
A huge drumming sound, as if from ancient times, erupted from within his body.
If there were martial arts experts with profound cultivation present, they would know that the Evil Slaughter King was using his power to force out the weapons that had pierced his body.
Sure enough.
The four divine weapons that had deeply pierced his body were forced out in an instant under the impact of this powerful internal force.
The battle puppet Iron Blood Butcher's terrifying Sky Net Kill ultimately failed to take the Evil Slaughter King's life!
And the Evil Slaughter King had already taken advantage of this gap to launch a fierce counterattack!
He suddenly grabbed into the air with his arm.
"Swoosh!"
A silver light shot from afar like a meteor, accurately landing in his palm.
It was actually a long saber shaped like a wolf's tooth!
The saber's blade was thick and heavy, exuding an ancient and majestic aura, its light cold and eerie.
It was covered with sharp, wolf-tooth-shaped barbs, each barb flashing with a chilling light, as if telling of the countless bloodstains of the past, making people fearful.
Clearly, this was also a peerless divine weapon.
"You are the first opponent to make this king use a weapon."
"For a Third-Rank martial artist to be able to do what you have done, this king has never seen anything like it in his life, truly remarkable."
"To die under this king's blade can be considered a great honor!"
The Evil Slaughter King held the wolf-tooth long saber, shouting sharply.
At this moment, the wounds on his body had already stopped bleeding, and the electrical light constantly flickering at the wounds, although it had burned large patches of flesh, was ultimately dispelled by his powerful internal force.
Not only that, but his aura was skyrocketing, like a volcano about to erupt, ready to unleash a power that could destroy everything.
Clearly, at this moment, he had decided to use his true strength.
Opposite him, the battle puppet Iron Blood Butcher's eyes were still blood-red, full of violence and madness.
The electrical light on his body surged again like angry dragons, and the four divine weapons, under the control of the power of lightning, shot towards the Evil Slaughter King from all directions like four arrows released from a bow.
The Evil Slaughter King held the wolf-tooth long saber, his face full of rage, roaring:
"Wolf Shadow Chaotic Dance Kill!"
Unexpectedly, he did not choose to defend passively, but instead used offense as defense, taking the initiative to attack.
His figure was as elusive as a ghost, shuttling back and forth around the battle puppet Iron Blood Butcher, and the wolf-tooth long saber in his hand was like a black whirlwind, frantically waving at a speed that was dizzying.
In an instant, countless saber shadows burst out from his hands like a tide, each saber shadow like a snarling wolf, carrying a fierce and unparalleled killing intent, pouncing fiercely at the opponent.
These saber shadows crisscrossed and were impenetrable, quickly weaving a net of death, firmly enveloping the battle puppet Iron Blood Butcher.
The saber shadows flickered, making a "hissing!" sound, like the roar of a wolf, making people shudder and tremble with fear.
And in this impenetrable light of the saber, the four divine weapons shot by the battle puppet Iron Blood Butcher were constantly skillfully blocked by the Evil Slaughter King.
Some scattered saber lights fell on the cliff wall, instantly erupting with powerful force, splitting the boulders on the cliff wall and scattering like raindrops.
Fortunately, most of these saber lights were used to fight against the battle puppet Iron Blood Butcher, and only a small part fell on the cliff wall.
Otherwise, if all the saber lights had been poured on the cliff wall, I am afraid that the front cliff wall would have been collapsed, and everyone in the valley would have been ruthlessly buried.
It can be seen that the Evil Slaughter King's saber energy had already become terrifyingly powerful!
At the same time.
The Evil Slaughter King's saber light was also constantly slashing at the battle puppet Iron Blood Butcher like a storm.
"Clang clang clang!"
A series of dense metallic clashes echoed continuously.
The keen and fierce blade light of the Evil Slaughter King landed on the Heavenly Tribulation Armor of the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher, instantly igniting clusters of dazzling sparks.
Yet, the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher appeared completely indifferent, barely even attempting to defend.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded.
The Heavenly Tribulation Armor on the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher withstood the ferocious onslaught without suffering the slightest damage, not even a white mark.
The Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher maintained his berserk stance, glaring menacingly at the Evil Slaughter King, seemingly unafraid of any of his attacks.

"What?!"
"What kind of treasure armor is that?!"
The Evil Slaughter King, witnessing his full-powered attacks having no effect on the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher, revealed a look of astonishment for the first time.
The survivors in the valley were even more stunned by the scene before them.
They were all deeply aware of just how terrifying the Evil Slaughter King's attacks were, and they couldn't imagine anything in the world being able to withstand his moves.
Yet, this mysterious expert was using a set of armor to forcefully withstand the Evil Slaughter King's blade energy, completely unharmed.
This was simply beyond everyone's comprehension, truly defying the heavens!
At this moment, the lightning power around the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher surged, and the four divine weapons flew back in unison, landing securely on his back.
Since the Heavenly Net Kill failed to kill the enemy in one strike, and the lightning power control was proving ineffective against the Evil Slaughter King, the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher decisively changed his strategy.
He slowly drew one of the divine weapons from his back, intending to use it as a long saber to fight the Evil Slaughter King!
Clearly, he planned to engage the Evil Slaughter King in close combat.
Seeing this, the Evil Slaughter King harbored the same intention, sneering:
"If blade energy can't break your armor, I refuse to believe my Wolf Fang Saber's blade can't!"
While blade energy was incomparably sharp, the sharpness of some peerless divine weapons was often even greater!
Knowing that his blade energy could not harm the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher, the Evil Slaughter King stopped wasting his inner force and instead relied on the Wolf Fang Saber's ability to cut through iron like mud to launch a new round of fierce attacks!
"Whoosh!"
His figure was as swift as a wolf pouncing on its prey, rushing ferociously towards the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher.
The Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher gripped the long saber tightly, and as the Evil Slaughter King charged forward, he immediately swung the blade to strike.
At that moment, both men restrained their outward release of inner force, relying purely on their exquisite and unparalleled saber techniques and martial arts to engage in a thrilling close-quarters battle.
Even so, this close-range collision still contained terrifying power.
For a time, the sounds of metallic clashes were continuous and deafening, as if thunder was constantly exploding in everyone's ears.
The valley's unique environment amplified the echoes, making the sound even more terrifying.
The loud noise caused people's eardrums to nearly rupture, and warm, fresh blood involuntarily flowed from their ears.
Everyone in the valley was in agony, forced to tightly cover their ears, trying to resist the terrifying noise.
They endured the pain, barely managing to open their eyes, wanting to clearly see the brilliant contest between these two peerless experts.
However, the Evil Slaughter King and the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher's moves were simply too fast, so fast that their movements could not be captured by the naked eye.
People could only see a cloud of saber shadows constantly emerging around them, like a fog, heavily shrouding their figures; as for the specific moves, they were simply difficult to distinguish.
The two fought fiercely in the sky for a full quarter of an hour.
Suddenly.
"Swish!"
A figure took the initiative to retreat, disengaging from the battle.
Unexpectedly, the person who chose to disengage from the battle was the Evil Slaughter King!
The Evil Slaughter King now had a gloomy expression, like the sky before a storm, covered in dark clouds.
His eyes glared angrily at the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher's Heavenly Tribulation Armor, which was still intact, and he no longer cared about his usual demeanor, directly cursing angrily:
"Are you a cowardly turtle?"
"If you have the guts, take off your armor and fight this king!"
Because, at this moment, he truly felt a deep sense of helplessness.
The Heavenly Tribulation Armor on the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher was simply like an impregnable copper wall, flawless and unassailable.
Even the Evil Slaughter King's Wolf Fang Treasure Saber, which could cut through iron like mud, could only ignite a cluster of sparks when striking it, unable to leave even the slightest trace on the Heavenly Tribulation Armor.
In the previous battle, the Evil Slaughter King had accurately struck various parts of the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher's body, totaling no less than ten strikes!
He had even targeted what he believed to be the weak points of the armor, such as the joints, armpits, crotch, and other locations.
But to the Evil Slaughter King's utter dismay, these so-called weak points of the armor were unexpectedly strong.
The only possible weakness might be the location of the armor's eyes.
But the target was not only too small, but also scarce, and the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher could easily defend it.
As a result, the Evil Slaughter King tried everything he could, but was simply unable to break through the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher's defense.
The current situation was like trying to gnaw on an incomparably hard rock, a smooth and hard stone with no place to start, leaving him utterly helpless.
In that instant, the Evil Slaughter King even had the thought of giving up and no longer continuing the battle.
However, in a flash, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, as if the clouds parted and he suddenly understood:
"I know!"
"I know how to break your turtle shell armor!"
The Evil Slaughter King almost forgot that his greatest advantage was that his realm was far higher than his opponent's.
Because of this, the inner force he possessed was far, far stronger than that of the "turtle man" in front of him wearing the armor.
This armor, like an indestructible turtle shell, could withstand all physical attacks, which had indeed discouraged the Evil Slaughter King for a time.
But he suddenly realized that no matter how strong the turtle shell was, there was still flesh and blood underneath!
There was a technique that was not some profound martial art; on the contrary, it was a very basic martial arts skill—penetrating force.
In a true高手 duel, because the rhythm of the battle and the changes in moves are extremely complex, there are few opportunities to use this technique.
But at this moment, facing this seemingly invulnerable enemy, penetrating force was undoubtedly the most effective means!
"Now, this king will send you on your way!"
The light of confidence reignited in the Evil Slaughter King's eyes, carrying the belief of certain victory, and he once again greeted the Battle Puppet Iron Blood Butcher, preparing to launch a new round of fierce battle.
