The high-tech combat armor exuded an overwhelming sense of suppression just from a single glance.
When the man who called himself Heaven Bing put on his helmet, jets on the back of his elbows, knees, and back lit up, emitting blue flames.
The armor, primarily white and blue, had weapons that clearly surpassed Earth’s current technology. For example, pulse cannons on his shoulders could rotate freely, laser gun barrels protruded from his arms, and numerous shooting holes were hidden beneath the dense armor plates on his black protective gloves.
There was also a spirit blade at his waist, its hilt visible but the blade concealed, a helmet screen flashing with various data, and a bizarre, intricately designed giant gun strapped to his back…
In short, this set of equipment was enough to instill a sense of dread in anyone who saw it.
“The earlier attacks were just appetizers. Now, the main event begins.”
With the helmet on, the man’s voice was processed into a cold, metallic tone, devoid of any warmth.
As he spoke, he raised his hands, and the holes in his arms began firing out light shards. These shards started as bright white but turned pale red as they flew through the air.
Numerous shards fired continuously, tracking Liang Chuyin’s movements. They were incredibly fast, and within a second, a light curtain formed between the holes and Liang Chuyin.
The man continued to speak in his metallic voice as he attacked. Even though the processed voice lacked inflection, he was clearly in a state of excitement.
Liang Chuyin was struggling.
She relied on her agility to dodge continuously, wanting to counterattack but unable to get close. These light shards had an incredibly strong slicing ability. Even the Earth Armor would be sliced open if hit. This made Liang Chuyin hesitant to use her whip to block, fearing her weapon wouldn’t hold up.
She knew all too well that constant defense would eventually fail. Reality proved this to be true. While Liang Chuyin was rapidly considering her options, she was caught off guard, and a light shard sliced her thigh. Her body immediately faltered, losing its usual agility.
“Haha, hit! Mobility impaired, combat power reduced by 99!” The man laughed, not lowering his hands as he continued his assault. The pulse cannons on his shoulders began charging, aiming at Liang Chuyin.
Despite his chatter, the man’s attacks were flawlessly executed. As Liang Chuyin’s mobility was impaired, the light shards and pulse cannons struck her simultaneously.
Dust and debris filled the air, and the remaining buildings behind the attack direction, which had stood firm for over four years since the apocalypse, finally collapsed.
“Dead? Let me see…” The man temporarily halted his attack, adjusting his helmet to a mode that allowed him to see through the dust. “Huh? Not dead? Combat power still over 2,600? What’s going on?”
Through his high-tech equipment, he saw that his target, who should have been killed, was still alive, and her combat power had only dropped by a little over 400.
He quickly accessed the memory function, fiddled with a few settings, and then exclaimed, “She actually has reserve armor?!”
In the replay, he saw Liang Chuyin, after being injured in the leg, realizing she couldn’t continue dodging, immediately pulling out another set of armor from her space equipment and putting it on. It was another set of blue-grade Earth Armor.
This increased Liang Chuyin’s combat power from around 3,100 when injured to over 3,200. In other words, this armor set was decent but not as good as the previous one.
This set wasn’t as good as the one that had just been destroyed.
The previous set had both offensive and defensive capabilities, while this one only had defensive abilities.
But at this moment, Liang Chuyin was immensely grateful.
As the attacks came, she activated an ability on this armor—Firmness!
This was a unique ability of the Earth Armor set, instantly doubling the armor’s defense. The reserve armor’s defense was already high, and after doubling, it became incredibly tough, allowing Liang Chuyin to withstand this wave of attacks.
However, the man’s attacks were equally terrifying. Even with the Earth Armor’s effects and unique points, Liang Chuyin’s new armor was shattered after blocking the attack. The rest of her Earth Armor set was also covered in cracks, on the verge of being destroyed.
Without these pieces of equipment, Liang Chuyin’s combat power, in the man’s eyes, dropped to just over 2,600.
“I’ve heard that Cloud Peak’s equipment is top-notch. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do. But so what? It still couldn’t withstand my Planet Armor!” Liang Chuyin’s reserve armor somewhat provoked the man. He hadn’t expected this woman to not only have a full set of blue-grade equipment but also a reserve set.
Liang Chuyin wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and suddenly threw her whip to the ground.
This made the man pause.
What followed surprised him even more as he realized this woman was removing her equipment!
The shattered armor, boots, belt, and even the battle skirt were removed.
Although damaged, these pieces of equipment still had a significant impact on her combat power. Removing them not only cost her the equipment itself but also the set bonuses they provided.
In an instant, Liang Chuyin’s combat power plummeted by nearly 1,000 points. On the man’s device, it now showed less than 1,800.
“Woman, are you trying to please me with your body? I might consider it. After all, not everyone gets to taste the flavor of Cloud Peak King’s woman.”
After a moment of shock, the man thought he understood the meaning behind Liang Chuyin’s actions. Like many women in the apocalypse, she might be using her body as a resource to gain some advantage.
Liang Chuyin smiled, shaking her aching body. Looking at the man, she said, “Right now, I’m particularly curious about two things.”
“Are you going to ask who I am? Maybe I’ll tell you after I’ve had a taste of you,” the man said, feeling quite pleased with himself.
“First, you keep talking about combat power. So, what’s your combat power?”
“I can’t tell you that. It would only make you despair, haha.”
Ignoring the man’s excited state during combat, Liang Chuyin continued, “Second, who gave you the courage to compare equipment with Cloud Peak?”
With that, she pulled out a massive metal box from her space equipment and slammed it onto the ground in front of her.
