Chapter 668: Chapter 665: True Flame Dragon Armor

On the Martial Arts Discussion Platform, Yann Sheng’s pupils contracted. Shock filled his heart as he said in a grave tone, "You’ve gotten stronger. Much stronger than you were a few months ago."

Qin Ya replied with a cool indifference, "Heh, and I have you to thank for that."

He wasn’t being entirely sarcastic. ’If not for Yann Yuntian, I never would have entered the Supervision Mansion, nor would I have fought in battle after battle, my combat power soaring as a result.’

’I even mastered Heaven-Defying skills like Instant Teleportation and the Undying Body!’

Below the Martial Arts Discussion Platform, Yann Yuntian was also taken aback. But the thought of what he had given Yann Sheng calmed him. ’No matter how strong Qin Ya gets,’ he thought, ’how could he possibly be a match for the Forbidden Artifact I spent years creating?’

Seeing the look on Yann Yuntian’s face, the Divine Lord, Zhao Songyuan, and the others felt their hearts skip a beat. ’Just as we thought,’ they mused, ’Yann Yuntian came prepared. He has an ace up his sleeve!’

At this thought, a fresh wave of worry washed over them.

"Don’t thank me. You’re going to die here."

Yann Sheng laughed coldly and leaped high into the air. He raised his War Saber and began to slash relentlessly. Each slash became a Flame Dragon, and in an instant, a magnificent scene of a hundred dragons dancing wildly took shape, as if a scene from the Barbaric Wilderness had been reborn. The temperature of the air skyrocketed.

This move alone was enough to obliterate several Half-Venerables!

The surrounding Divine Guards couldn’t help but gasp.

"Yann Sheng is truly impressive, to be able to unleash a move like that."

"Yeah, a hundred of me wouldn’t be able to block that."

"Looks like Qin Tianjue is in real danger now."

.........

Qin Ya smiled coolly. "A flashy, impractical move."

The moment he spoke, he took a single step that seemed to cross vast distances, instantly appearing in the midst of the Flame Dragon swarm. His figure flickered like a phantom; the terrifying dragons couldn’t even touch him, let alone cause any harm.

Qin Ya had not used the Instant Teleportation Profound Technique.

’For one, I’ve only ever used Instant Teleportation within the Supervision Mansion. No one in the outside world knows about it yet, so it can serve as a trump card. It might produce an unexpected result at a critical moment.’

’For another, against Yann Sheng, I don’t think it’s necessary.’

Unleashing the True Meaning of Speed, Qin Ya rapidly closed in on Yann Sheng. A pitch-black spear appeared in his hand, streams of four-colored light flowing across its surface.

"Four Seasons Spear Technique... Perfection!"

As he spoke, a terrifying spear light burst forth, shaking the very air!

Thunder, fire, ice, and wind caused all sorts of phenomena to manifest. Snow and ice ravaged the land, thunder peeked menacingly from dark clouds, and gales of wind and fire swept through the forests and fields...

This showed that Qin Ya’s mastery of the Four Symbols True Intent had reached an extremely high level. He was just one final catalyst away from a breakthrough.

BOOM! The terrifying spear light struck Yann Sheng.

His body shot out like a cannonball, creating a series of sonic booms as he flew through the air. He slammed into the light barrier surrounding the platform and was then violently thrown back.

THUD...

Yann Sheng’s body hit the ground, and the entire area fell deathly silent!

This scene was far beyond what anyone had imagined.

Everyone had expected a rare, pitched battle. No one thought that after unleashing just two moves, Yann Sheng would be sent flying by a single strike from Qin Ya’s spear.

"Damn, this fight is way too one-sided."

"Tsk, tsk. Is Qin Ya really that powerful?"

"Utterly terrifying. It’s just shocking."

The Divine Guards and the powerful experts flying on Exotic Beasts whispered amongst themselves, their faces masks of astonishment, all completely stunned by Qin Ya’s combat prowess.

But on the Martial Arts Discussion Platform, Qin Ya’s brow was slightly furrowed. He felt no joy from his victory, because according to his senses, Yann Sheng’s aura had not diminished in the slightest. On the contrary, it felt like an extremely terrifying power was brewing within him.

’Logically, that last strike should have been enough to take him out of the fight, yet he’s completely unharmed,’ Qin Ya thought. ’He must be wearing a powerful Defensive Spiritual Artifact. Heh, as expected of the Celestial Marquis’s most outstanding son. He’s certainly well-equipped.’

Leaning on his spear, Qin Ya couldn’t help but smirk.

’Last time I fought Yann Xiao, the guy was wearing a suit of Flame Armor, and it took me quite a bit of effort to beat him. Now Yann Sheng has a similar Spiritual Artifact. It makes me wonder when I should go find the Void Saint and ask for a Spiritual Artifact or two to round out my own gear.’

’After all,’ he mused, ’a Saint’s collection has to be much better than some Celestial Marquis’s.’

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG...

Just as Qin Ya’s mind began to wander, the sound of metal striking metal suddenly rang out. Yann Sheng, who had been knocked flat on his back, was slowly getting to his feet.

BOOM...

A terrifying wave of flame energy swept out. Yann Sheng’s clothes suddenly burst apart, revealing a suit of fiery red armor. Its design was incredibly imposing, looking as if it were forged from individual scales. On its chest was a ferocious dragon’s head, its two fiery red gemstone eyes staring coldly at Qin Ya.

"Heh, so it really is a Defensive Spiritual Artifact."

Qin Ya smiled faintly, his eyes narrowing. He tightened his grip on his spear and gave it a flourish, then shot forward like a cannonball. In an instant, he was before Yann Sheng. The four-colored spear light swirled as halos of light appeared one after another, making the very air tremble. The hum of the spear blade resonated—it was the Extreme Stab combined with the Four Symbols True Intent!

CLANG! Sparks flew as a terrifying force surged like a tidal wave, crashing into Yann Sheng. In the blink of an eye, he was sent flying once more. But Qin Ya remained where he stood, holding his trembling spear. "It seems this armor’s power is even greater than I imagined," he said coolly. "To think it could block that strike."

"Heh heh... Qin Ya, you are very strong!"

"Right now, I am no match for you at all."

Yann Sheng got to his feet again and raised his head, revealing bloodshot eyes. His gaze was a mixture of shock, indignation, and bitter resentment.

He never would have imagined it. Qin Ya, who had been no match for him just months ago, had progressed at an incredible rate—so fast that in a mere few months, he had surpassed decades of his own cultivation; so fast that now, he could do nothing but be crushed!

He was jealous, but more than that, he was filled with hate!

In his eyes, a monstrous talent like Qin Ya simply had no place in this world!

Below the Martial Arts Discussion Platform, the Divine Lord, Meiying Venerable, and the others frowned.

"The True Flame Dragon Armor! I can’t believe you actually brought that thing out, Yann Yuntian. You’re even more shameless than I thought," Zhao Songyuan said coldly.

This armor was the most powerful Defensive Spiritual Artifact in Yann Yuntian’s entire estate. Even for the top ten experts on the Celestial List, breaking through its defense was an extremely difficult task. With this armor, Yann Sheng was practically invincible. No matter how strong Qin Ya was, it would all be for nothing if he couldn’’t break through it.

"Hmph. Many factors decide the outcome of a duel; martial power is just one of them. Good equipment is also crucial. If you want to blame someone, blame Qin Ya for not being capable enough," Yann Yuntian sneered. He was inwardly relieved. ’Good thing I brought the True Flame Dragon Armor. Otherwise, this would have been a disaster.’
