Chapter 310: 160 Did he die with just one palm strike?

The air solidified, and a subtle aura of killing intent permeated the room, as if the howling drafts from the holes in the walls were flooding into the hall, enveloping everything around.

"Hurricane Mode!"

Suddenly, the green Armor at the end of the corridor erupted without warning.

That suite of light green patterned armor appeared lighter and more delicate compared to the others. The forehead, shoulders, knees, and backs of the feet all featured deeply etched hurricane patterns. At this moment, the dark green energy within surged like light, with a misty effect as layer upon layer of vapor swirled.

It enveloped his entire body, revealing only the insect-shell-like dragonfly mask and two slender transparent streamers on the back of his shoulders.

"Whoosh!"

Only a green afterimage was left on the spot.

The Hurricane Armor, which had entered overdrive mode, instantly swung its saber, spinning rapidly in mid-air, closing in on Bai Xiao with explosive speed.

"Die!!!"

Qingfeng suddenly roared.

The grotesquely shaped sharp saber cut through the air with a ’clang’ sound.

This attack was incredibly fast, spanning several meters in the blink of an eye.

But...

Bai Xiao’s head tilted ever so slightly.

The sharp attack whooshed past his left ear.

Qingfeng’s pupils shrank slightly—he had missed his target!

In his shock, Qingfeng didn’t hesitate to exert force laterally. The Biological Armor in an explosive state suddenly spun, and the saber, which had missed, also made a 360-degree spin. It came slashing from the right with even more ferocity in terms of speed and power.

The entire motion was as graceful and carefree as a ballet dance.

In mid-air, a green circular arc appeared!

’Clang!!!’

Suddenly, two fingers reached out and pinched lightly.

Incredibly, they had stopped the swiftly slashing saber in its tracks. The thumb and index finger clamped onto the blade, stopping it from advancing an inch further!

Crack crack crack...

The sound of intense friction rose, and the surging power vanished as if it had sunk into the sea.

Qingfeng’s rapidly spinning form suddenly halted. His eyes beneath the helmet stared straight ahead, yet all he could see was Bai Xiao’s expressionless cold face.

"Speed’s not bad, but the power’s lacking."

With a ’bang,’ the two fingers clutching the blade applied pressure, and gently pressed.

The saber of the Hurricane Armor actually snapped into two pieces on the spot.

Seeing this, Qingfeng instantly drew his sword and kicked Bai Xiao’s chest, reversing and spinning back, transforming into a straight light green shadow.

"Rather than martial arts, it’s more like a dance!"

Bai Xiao applied a bit more force and immediately crumbled the broken blade in his hand into pieces.

’Thud!’

He stomped his foot violently!

’Whoosh!’

In a flash, without any technique, he simply used brute force to cross a dozen meters. In the shortest time, he had caught up with the retreating Qingfeng.

A simple and unadorned punch!

’Boom!!!’

Qingfeng was sent flying backward even faster, spinning like a top whipped by an iron flail, blurring into a residual image. With a ’swoosh,’ he flew swiftly down the entire narrow, straight corridor.

’Thud! Thud! Thud!’

The green Armor bounced thrice off the ground, leaving three holes.

It then lay motionless.

From the twisted and deformed cracks in the Biological Armor, scarlet blood gushed out. The hazy green particles in the energy circuit dimmed rapidly.

"Qingfeng, dead?!"

Not far away, the Demon Armor engaged in battle unleashed a savage claw, repelling two beast-class opponents from the Mo Yun Group. It spun around abruptly, sending out a burst of brutal and fierce aura in a furious roar. This was an instinctive protective reaction of a wild beast when faced with a formidable enemy, like the deterrent roar of a lion.

"This man!"

Black Sword immediately stopped his forward charge, cold sweat breaking out on his back. Just now, if he had been the first to engage, it wouldn’t have been Qingfeng who died.

It would have been him!

Black Sword looked at Bai Xiao in front of him. Although his opponent hadn’t made any aggressive move and just stood there quietly, he felt a suffocating sensation, as if wrapped by a python. Bai Xiao emitted a scent of blood that billowed outwards. It was a cold-blooded, ruthless giant serpent, devoid of all human emotion, capable of suffocating all the prey present with a single constriction.

Black Sword felt daunted in his heart and subtly shifted his footing.

He moved next to the strongest platinum-colored military figure involved in this operation.

"Heh heh."

The military figure, with golden hair fluttering out from under his hat and Grecian-sculpture-like handsome features, showed no emotional change. He looked at Bai Xiao with interest.

"Interesting..."

"A Secret Martial Artist?"

As a mid-to-senior executive of Heavenly God Company, Jin Xi had once learned of the Secret Martial World. Those were a group of madmen training the human body to its limits, using bizarre secret techniques to gain some kind of superhuman strength through repeated trials.

Years ago, during the early developments of Biological Armor research, six major corporate groups tried to use Secret Martial Artists as test subjects to create a powerful new type of Biological Armor. But, the experiment completely failed. The essence of the monster cells conflicted with the essence of Secret Martial Artists. The forced research resulted in Secret Martialists’ spirits becoming corrupted and their Secret Martial practices stagnating.

As experimental subjects, they were no different from ordinary people.

Moreover, that experiment brought about an unexpected disaster. When one of the powerful Secret Martial Arts Schools found out, they forcefully intervened, causing grave losses to that corporate group of the six majors, which paid dearly for their curiosity. This also meant that for the following years, the six majors did not attempt to approach the Secret Martial circle again. Firstly, it yielded no benefits; secondly, the lessons learned from past experiences forced them to cease any further attempts.
