In the dark of the night, five rays of light suddenly lit up in five different directions on the street. Green, white, red, black, and yellow, representing the five elements, shone in the dark. The light flowed from the five men and turned into armor that covered their entire bodies. Not a single inch of skin was exposed. Even their heads were covered.
"Is this the Five Elements Armor?"
Lin Xi immediately reacted. Five sets of armors, some gorgeous, some imposing, some simple and unadorned, precisely the five sets of armors Elder Song had people bring away from the blueprints.
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin!
Among them, the Vermilion Bird Armor was covered in crimson fire patterns. Below it was a skirt-like armor with palm-sized bright red metal feathers stuck to it.
The entire armor gave off a hot and bright feeling. The man wearing it took a bow from his shoulder.
This giant bow was thicker than a man's arm, and it was also completely red. The man spread his arms wide, creating a strong gust of wind. He took a horse stance, and with a roar, cracks appeared in the ground hundreds of square meters under his feet. He pulled the giant bow to its fullest extent, and an arrow actually automatically appeared on the bowstring.
An arrow made of fire!
The bowstring vibrated and the arrow shot out. It turned into a flying firebird in the air. It was the Vermilion Bird. There were several long tail feathers made of flames behind it. It brought up a dazzling stream of flames in the dark of the night.
The Vermilion Bird opened its beak and let out a long cry. Its clear voice pierced through the quiet night sky.
"Ah …"
This arrow was shocking enough. Lin Xi didn't have time to write any seal characters. He put his hands together and threw out a Hadouken. The high-frequency vibration of the particles was not eye-catching, but it was powerful. When it collided with the firebird, it completely blocked the power of the fire element. The two exploded into a rain of fire.
The goat mount was kept in his inventory. With a leap, he dodged the second Vermilion Bird that shot out from the rain of fire.
After landing, he found himself surrounded by four people.
There was a dragon head on the shoulder of the Azure Dragon Armor, and its weapon was an azure coiled dragon spear. The White Tiger Armor was platinum in color, and its weapon was a similarly platinum tiger-headed broadsword. The Black Tortoise Armor was pure black, and it had a tortoise shell-like pitch-black shield.
The Qilin was the head of the five elements, and the center was earth. The earthen yellow armor made it look majestic and imposing. The man in the armor was tall and sturdy, and he held a giant hammer covered in Qilin patterns.
"It seems like this sneak attack was planned by Elder Song and the others. I'm very curious. They should be smart people. Smart people will gamble, but they won't play with their lives. They won't enter a situation where they will definitely lose. Don't they know my strength?"
"Even if the five of you put on the Five Elements Armors, what's the use? The only outcome is death. "
He pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame from his waist. The sword seemed to feel the killing intent and began to tremble and buzz with excitement. A trace of airflow and red light fluttered and shone around, forming a special aura full of bloody killing intent.
The quivering tip of the sword drew a line in the air, forming the word "kill".
None of the five people spoke. Because their whole body was covered with armor, Lin Xi couldn't see any expression. He used his mind's eye to send out thought waves to sense, but the Five Elements Armor itself had energy fluctuations, which covered up the magnetic field emitted by the people.
Were they ordinary people or people who had transferred their jobs or even evolved people? It was completely unclear.
The current encounter made Lin Xi feel strange. Elder Song sent people to take away the Five Elements Armor. The most likely reason should be to leave the city immediately and hand over the Five Elements Armor to other gathering places. At least, it could ensure that their family would not suffer in Jinling and other cities.
There was no reason to send five people to assassinate him — even Blackbeard, Danzō, and Tiansha couldn't kill him. How could five people wearing the Five Elements Armor do it?
Unless it was the five Saint Seiya.
This assassination actually forced Elder Song's family to a dead end … As long as Lin Xi didn't die, the result would definitely be exterminated! Why would those people do such a stupid thing? Moreover, they saw Song Ji being turned into a jade pendant!
Unless …
Lin Xi thought of a possibility.
Unless the other party had confidence — at least 50% or more of killing him.
After quickly deducing these thoughts, Lin Xi's thoughts could also be considered quick. Lin Xi was a bit vigilant, but he didn't panic, his expression still calm and indifferent. "You all are making things a bit difficult for me. Killing you is easy, but if I break the Five Elements Armor, wouldn't that be too much of a waste?"
"Hmm … Turning you into a jade zombie seems not bad. I'll make the five of you my fighters. How about this treatment?"
These nonsense words were said to provoke the other party, but Lin Xi still didn't get any reply.
Except for a long spear that drew a green light in the night.
Like a flash of lightning!
The man in the Azure Dragon Armor thrust out this spear. When the Coiling Dragon Spear pierced, the spearhead shook violently. In an instant, more than ten halos were drawn in the air. This was undoubtedly an exquisite spear technique. The metal spear shook into countless spear sparks, covering the entire body of the enemy.
The air was shaken by the shaking spear, making a harsh whistling sound.
If it was a battle between real martial arts masters, facing such a spear, most people could only retreat to avoid it or wait for death. Because the shaky spear tip couldn't judge which part was pierced, whether it was aimed at the head, the heart, or the lower body.
This green Coiling Dragon Spear was made of metal. Modern science combined with the materials exchanged in the evolution base, together with the rare metals collected, it was made into an armor weapon. The spear with a mighty dragon pattern on the surface was as thick as a goose egg and three meters long!
In the magical world, the dragon knight fought in the air. The dragon spear used to pierce the dragon was just like this. Let alone a person, even a tank could be pierced.
This spear was equal to a heavy weapon. Lin Xi knew that the Cursed Blade Murasame couldn't stop it. The Hero's Soul Halberd instantly appeared in his hand. The Gladiator Gouyu had always been worn on his neck. Lv Lingqi's halberd proficiency talent allowed him to wield this halberd as if it was his arm.
Vertically to the right, he drew a semicircle to intercept.
"Woo …"
Under the push of Lin Xi's great strength, this halberd also brought a strong explosion and hit the dragon spear that stabbed like a poisonous dragon.
"Boom!"
The two heavy weapons collided, and the metal poles collided and exploded countless sparks, which were brilliant like fireworks in the dark night. The man wearing the Azure Dragon Armor, the hand holding the spear cracked. He couldn't hold it in his hand, and the dragon spear flew out.
But the other two weapons arrived at the same time.
The platinum-colored tiger-head broadsword was probably more than a hundred pounds. The speed of this broadsword was far less than the Iaijutsu, but it was not slow. The real exquisite was the way of using the broadsword. One drag and one pull, it used the saw power. When it was waved, a lot of wind elements condensed on the blade, and it really condensed into saw teeth.
It was like the ferocious fangs in the mouth of a tiger!
And the man in the Qilin armor, holding the Qilin pattern sledgehammer, definitely weighed a thousand pounds. Because this hammer passed through the air, when it hit from top to bottom, it violently shocked the air, and the power was like a mountain collapsing, and it seemed that the sky was collapsing!
Lin Xi's left hand held the Murasame and imitated the Drawing Swordsmanship that he had seen before, and it collided with the tiger-head broadsword. This broadsword chopped very well. His strength was obviously above the opponent, and he cut the platinum-colored broadsword wrapped in the wind blade away.
His right hand held the Heroic Soul Halberd to block upward and caught the falling giant hammer. It was another fierce collision, the sound of gold and iron colliding burst out, and the violent splashing sparks were like an iron furnace.
This hammer was not easy to catch. The huge and unparalleled force came from the halberd, which made Lin Xi feel that he was really hit by a mountain. His feet stepped the concrete road below into soft tofu, and even his thighs were deeply sunk into the ground.
"Go away!"
The fierce force broke out from Lin Xi's body, and the arm strengthened by Qi instantly drove the force of more than 100 tons, bounced off the Qilin hammer, and at the same time, the Heroic Soul Halberd smashed. The man in the Qilin armor was hit in the chest, and he crashed into a building 20 meters away.
At this time, Lin Xi's eyes were slightly shocked. The coiled dragon spear that was hit by the Heroic Soul Halberd collapsed in the air, and it turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared.
The man in the Azure Dragon Armor, with lightning flashing in his hands, pulled out another coiled dragon spear. The right arm holding the spear shrank and stretched, and his feet stretched out. The whole person seemed to have risen a lot, and the long spear was tilted down. This time, the spear tip no longer trembled, and all the strength was concentrated on "stabbing".
In the dark, this coiled dragon spear not only brought the cyan light, but also pulled out a white wave, as if there was a real cyan dragon shuttling in the clouds.
Not far away, the third fire arrow formed on the bowstring, like a vermilion bird arrow, and attacked almost at the same time as the coiled dragon spear, aiming at Lin Xi's head.
Among the five assassins in the Five Elements Armor, only the man in the black tortoise armor, holding a pitch-black metal shield in the shape of a tortoise shell, stood on the side, holding the shield with both hands, ready to rush up to block the attack at any time.
The other four people all attacked Lin Xi.
"Amazing!"
After a short fight, Lin Xi immediately understood that the attributes of the five sneak attackers were not weak, and the martial arts skills they displayed were even more powerful. When they used their weapons, they were probably not weaker than those Kung Fu Masters.
Where did these five people come from?
With such strength, how could they be the lackeys of the people in power and carry out a mission that was almost impossible to kill?
It didn't make sense.
These five people were not ordinary people. Whether they were job changers or evolved people, they were all ability users, and they were respected in any gathering place. Perhaps, with Elder Song's status and connections, he could ask some ability users to do something for him.
But it was impossible for them to willingly send themselves to death for him.
None of these five people were weak.
Lin Xi felt that if the five of them joined forces, even if Old Cow, Old Pig, Big Yellow, Wang Wei, and Zhen Tian formed a team of five, they might not be a match for them — not to mention their attributes, their martial arts skills, and their grasp of battle opportunities were much worse.
"This doesn't make sense!"
As Lin Xi really couldn't figure it out, the flashing coiled dragon spear and vermilion bird fire arrow had already reached his side.
