The endless skeleton shadows fiercely bit onto the Panlong Black Jade Armor, erupting with a piercing roar. Amidst the endless cacophony, the dragon armor on Qin Chen's body loomed tall, filled with killing intent, and these skeleton shadows were all shaken away, unable to inflict even a scratch on Qin Chen.
How could this be possible?
The Holy Master of the Ghost Array was shocked for the first time, rendered dazed. At this moment, the Panlong Black Jade Armor on Qin Chen was completely intact, shimmering with the luster of black jade, showing no signs of damage at all.
However, the Holy Master of the Ghost Array clearly remembered that during the auction at the City Lord's mansion, this Panlong Black Jade Armor was damaged, which was why it only fetched a price equivalent to four mid-quality Saint Masters' Holy Veins. How could it have been repaired in such a short span of days? How did this kid do it?
Not only the Holy Master of the Ghost Array was astonished, but also Fire Old and Knife King Mu Zhifeng, far away, were overwhelmed with endless shock, staring blankly as Qin Chen charged out from the sea of skeleton shadows like a war god.
"This boy's aura is clearly similar to that of the Young Master of Liuhuo Fortress, but why is his strength so formidable? Even with the protection of the Panlong Black Jade Armor, it shouldn't be this easy to withstand!"
Knife King Mu Zhifeng's eyes nearly bulged out in disbelief. He knew well the power of the Ghost King Fengdu Array; even he couldn't easily resist it, yet this kid with such weak cultivation was able to withstand it so effortlessly, even with battle armor protecting him.
A child, even while wielding an iron shield, couldn't possibly withstand the slash of a strong man's heavy sword; while the shield might remain unharmed, the child's arms would surely be broken.
Compared to the Holy Master of the Ghost Array, who was a late-stage Saint Master, Qin Chen, who was only at the mid-stage Saint Master level, was like a child.
"The Ghost King Fengdu Array is nothing like this!"
Qin Chen chuckled lightly, and the sinister hand wreathed in heavenly fire suddenly descended. The Holy Master of the Ghost Array, unable to care for his shock, summoned two black tentacles from his body. These tentacles transformed into two long vines, resembling a dragon breaking through the sea, one sweeping towards Qin Chen while the other formed a defensive barrier in front of him.
"Boom!"
Under the grasp of the flaming hand, one of the tentacles quickly erupted in blinding flames, causing the Holy Master of the Ghost Array to howl in pain.
At that moment, the other vine had already swept toward Qin Chen's front. Boom! The void exploded as the vine, containing terrifying power, came crashing down.
Qin Chen's pupils constricted; he didn't dare linger in place and immediately blinked away into the air.
That vine missed him entirely! The other vine that had been hit by Qin Chen burned with flames, but after a flash of black light, the flames were extinguished, and the nearly broken vine returned to its original state. "How could this be?"
As Qin Chen reappeared, he was slightly astonished.
This Holy Master of the Ghost Array, under such circumstances, could still unleash such combat power, leaving him in awe. Moreover, the two vines on the opponent seemed to be some kind of treasure, not only boasting incredible offensive power but also containing an eerie defensive capability that gave Qin Chen quite a headache.
While Qin Chen was astonished, the shock within the Holy Master of the Ghost Array was even more beyond words. His mind was spinning; at that moment, the battle had drained most of his strength. The two black vines were obtained from a certain secret realm and were his trump card, yet he never expected that even his trump card couldn't subdue Qin Chen.
"Retreat!"
At this moment, the Holy Master of the Ghost Array no longer had the desire to continue fighting Qin Chen. His figure flickered and whooshed away like a stream of light, attempting to escape.
