Lord of the Sky City

Facing Rocky’s provocation, Xia Nai roared angrily and charged directly at him!

In his Fifth Generation Special Armor, with a mana value exceeding ten thousand, all of these elements made his speed far surpass anyone’s imagination. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that in just the blink of an eye, he had charged in front of Rocky and then, without any explanation, slashed down with his sword!

As the Special Armor of the Fifth Generation, the Side Sword of the Windwalker was naturally a purely materialized Mana Sword. With the enormous mana enhancement, the power of this Mana Sword far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine. Unless it was against another Special Armor of the same class, lower-tier Armors simply couldn’t withstand it.

It was clear that Xia Nai, just as everyone had anticipated, did not plan to entangle with Rocky for long. He aimed to utilize the advantage of his armor to instantly kill him, a real instant kill, leaving no chance of survival!

The moment his sword fell, Rocky immediately raised his right arm and then opened the Magic Energy Shield, accurately blocking the strike.

The sound of the Mana Sword heavily striking the Magic Energy Shield was so powerful that it even emitted a burst of bright light. Because this strike was too fast, it wasn’t until this moment that the audience in the arena finally reacted, bursting into exclamations.

“How, how can this be…”

“Blocked it?”

“How is it possible that he blocked it!?”

The audience exclaimed in unison for good reason, for when they finally saw Xia Nai’s figure clearly, they saw his overwhelmingly powerful strike had been firmly blocked by Rocky’s Magic Energy Shield!

Many people in the arena had seen Xia Nai compete before, so they had witnessed the terrifying power of the Mana Sword in his hands. Thus, in their view, with a sword strike that powerful, Rocky, with a mere 5000 mana value, should have had his shield destroyed and been killed even if he had used the Magic Energy Shield to block it. How could it possibly have been blocked?

But the actual situation was that Rocky had blocked the sword strike, and it appeared rather effortless.

This also greatly surprised Xia Nai, leaving him astonished.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement while experts watch for the technique. Xia Nai, obviously an expert, knew very well that a Fourth Generation Armor with only 5000 mana value should by no means be able to block his strike, no matter what method was used or what modifications were made, so there must be something tricky about Rocky’s armor!

Just as he was stunned by the surprise, the armor on Rocky’s left leg suddenly sprung open, and immediately after, the hilt of the Mana Sword was grasped in his hand.

Holding his own Mana Sword, Rocky appeared to have no intention of sparing Xia Nai either, delivering a sweeping waist cut!

Facing this sword strike, Xia Nai initially planned to block it directly with his arm, not out of carelessness, but because he was very clear about the strength of his Windwalker Armor, which could easily withstand an attack from a Mana Sword.

However, just as he was about to do this, an alarm suddenly sounded inside the helmet of his armor. This sound startled Xia Nai, and without thinking, he quickly backed away, dodging the attack.

“How, how is this possible? Ladies and gentlemen, did you see that? Facing the attack from contestant number 1021, Xia Nai actually chose to dodge it?! Why, why would he do that!”

As Xia Nai hurriedly retreated to dodge the sweep, the announcer outside the arena cried out in disbelief.

Indeed, to outsiders, this scene was somewhat incomprehensible. With Xia Nai’s formidable strength, why would he need to dodge Rocky’s attack, when he could simply rely on the superiority of the armor to block it?

But obviously, that was just the opinion of the others; only Xia Nai himself knew the actual situation—he simply couldn’t block that attack with just his armor!

In fact, as soon as Xia Nai had retreated, he immediately activated the magic energy detector built into his armor. Then, when he looked back at Rocky, he couldn’t help but frown.

In his line of sight, Rocky’s White Demon Armor still showed a mana value of 5000, but the Mana Sword in his hand now possessed an incredible power of 2000 points! With such a powerful Mana Sword, Xia Nai simply couldn’t withstand it with his armor alone; he could only dodge.

And that was precisely why he was frowning.

With just a Mana Sword possessing such high mana, it definitely couldn’t be powered by the armor. So there was only one answer left—Rocky’s Mana Sword was powered by its own separate mana supply!

But how could that be?

A mere Mana Sword, what kind of technology was used to independently generate 2000 points of mana?! That was almost catching up to the entire mana supply of an armor set!

“What have you done to this sword of yours!”

Staring at the Mana Sword in Rocky’s hand, Xia Nai’s face couldn’t be seen behind his helmet, but his tone was very grim, clearly indicating that he had realized something was off about Rocky’s armor.

“Are you concerned only about the Mana Sword?”

True enough, right after he had said this, Rocky gave a slight smile. Then, in the blink of an eye, he activated all the runes built into the White Demon Armor!

Full status!

For the first time, Rocky showed the full status of the White Demon Armor on the Arena’s stage!

In full status, faint white light illuminated the entire White Demon Armor, making it look as if it were bathed in a soft holy light, completely changing its impression.

And it was right after activating all the runes in the armor that the announcer at the edge of the arena screamed like someone was slaughtering a pig, “Ladies and gentlemen! Look at the big screen! Look at the big screen!”
