As the aura on Captain Ming's body skyrocketed, the soaring spiritual light began to expand outwards. His entire body also swelled and rose until he reached a height of about fifty feet before stopping.
At the same time, the spiritual light twisted and gathered on the surface of the body. It looked like a giant formed by crimson light streams.
Although the divine robe and profound armor could turn a person into a god, it actually required a process.
The person who put on the profound armor just now could not exert much power.
It was like a child who could not wield a giant hammer. Only after a long period of growth and tempering could he gradually understand how to use this power.
During this process, the profound armor not only provided power to the master, but also provided them with protection.
However, through several tempering and improvement, Captain Ming had mastered a method, which was to release a part of the power that he could not control in advance.
This was not without a price. Such a method would inevitably cause a part of his body to be damaged.
However, as long as he defeated the enemy, he could go back and slowly recuperate. After all, with the help of the divine robe and profound armor, his recovery ability was very fast.
After the red flame giant appeared on the field, it immediately threw a punch at Patriarch Yuan Tong in the sky!
Then, a power even more violent than the previous punch surged out. The wilderness emitted a dull thunder-like sound, and the ground under his feet also shook violently.
Patriarch Yuan Tong saw this change and did not have much of a surprised reaction. This was because when cultivators refined some magic tools, even if mortals held them, they could still unleash extremely powerful power.
In the end, the power of this generation was given by the magic tool. No matter how strong it was, it was not strange. And now, Captain Ming gave him a similar feeling.
Facing the punch that was coming at him, he stood there without dodging. He only said indifferently, "Forget the essentials and focus on the trifles."
In the next moment, his body suddenly shattered and turned into countless murderous auras. However, in the blink of an eye, his figure appeared in the sky above.
Captain Ming was about to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but he paused. He found that dozens of Patriarch Yuan Tong had appeared in the sky. The aura on each of them was exactly the same, making it impossible for him to distinguish which one was real and which one was fake.
However, he only paused for a moment before he rushed up without hesitation.
Since they all looked real, he might as well scatter them all!
But right at this moment, a bright light burst out from the patterns on the dozens of Patriarchs Yuan Tong's bodies at the same time.
Captain Ming immediately felt as if he had sunk into a boiling hot current. He knew very well that this was because a portion of the other party's magic power had broken through the spiritual energy's obstruction and successfully landed on his body.
However, he did not stop. He continued to charge forward stubbornly and resolutely.
At this moment, one could see that the red flames on his body seemed to have been hit by a tidal wave. They fluctuated, brightened, and dimmed. Every time a little flame dimmed, a part of the outer armor would be damaged and peeled off. But when the spiritual light covered it again, the damaged part would be repaired.
Withstanding the impact, he rushed to the front of Patriarch Yuan Tong. Under his relentless bombardment, the Patriarch Yuan Tong in the sky were destroyed one by one.
However, right after he smashed the last figure with his fist, he seemed to have noticed something. He paused for a moment before turning around, only to discover that dozens of Ancestor Yuan Tong had appeared there. At this moment, all of them were looking at him expressionlessly.
He cursed inwardly, turned around, and rushed up again!
On the other side, after Mo Ruohua returned from Fang Tai's station, she received a report that Captain Ming might have encountered an enemy.
She had just been told by Zhang Yu that the evil cultivator in front of her was very likely to be an upper level cultivator. Even if she did not know how much strength he had left now, he would not be easy to deal with. Therefore, she was not optimistic about this battle.
In any case, Captain Ming was her comrade after all. She could not really ignore his life and death. Therefore, she immediately ordered people to prepare the warship and prepared to go to that place personally.
However, before she could leave, a soldier came in from outside and reported, "Captain Mo, Captain Ming is back."
Mo Ruohua immediately walked out of her tent and saw Captain Ming lying on a stretcher being carried in.
Captain Ming was very unwilling to lose this battle because he did not lose in a head-on battle. Instead, his strength was exhausted first and could not support him to continue fighting. In the end, he could only escape from the battle before he was completely exhausted.
In fact, this was not the end of the profound armor's potential, but the strength that he could use to control it was exhausted. However, after this battle, if he was lucky, he might be able to usher in a new upgrade and make up for this shortcoming.
After escaping to the vicinity of the station, he completely lost his strength and fell on the wilderness. It was the patrolling creations that found him first and then he was carried back.
At this moment, he looked at Mo Ruohua and said, "Captain Mo, that evil cultivator is quite capable. I am not his opponent. I advise you not to go. I will be the only one to lose face in the military."
Mo Ruohua looked at him and said, "Captain Ming, since you have fought with this evil cultivator, do you think the two of us can defeat him if we work together?"
Captain Ming said, "When I was lying outside … Cough, I thought about it carefully just now. It is useless. This evil cultivator's Abhijina is powerful. I have strength but nowhere to use it. I can't hurt him at all and can't break his Abhijina. Even with Captain Mo's help, it is difficult to win."
From beginning to end, Patriarch Yuan Tong only used one method, which was to create many shadows that were difficult to distinguish between real and fake. He could only defeat them one by one. However, in the end, he still could not figure out where the enemy's real body was.
At this moment, Mo Ruohua also understood his words. Although the strength that they used was different on the outside, it was essentially the same. If Captain Ming could not touch this person, then it would be the same for her.
Just as she was about to say something, Captain Ming suddenly said, "Don't ask. My face hurts a lot. I will not talk to you for now." As he said this, he covered his face and turned around, his back facing everyone.
The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing if his face really hurt or if he was too ashamed to face anyone.
Le Junhou, who had been standing at the side, said, "Captain Mo, what do we do now?"
Mo Ruohua said, "I will write a letter to the military headquarters and explain the details." She looked at Le Junhou and said, "Just do what you have to do."
Le Junhou hurriedly said yes.
In fact, after Captain Ming's defeat, he was not panicking at this moment. He was even a little happy. After all, if such a powerful armored soldier was defeated, didn't it mean that his previous defeat was justified?
Thinking about it, the higher-ups would understand him.
After Mo Ruohua returned to her tent, she immediately wrote a report. In it, she wrote about Captain Ming's defeat and his judgment of the evil cultivator.
Afterwards, she called her assistant over and said, "Make a copy of the letter. Have someone deliver one to the military headquarters. As for the other one, go to Fang Tai's encampment on my behalf and deliver it to Zhang Xuanzheng."
The assistant hesitated for a moment. "Captain, we're from the military headquarters. Shouldn't we be too close to the Xuanfu …?"
Mo Ruohua did not explain, only saying, "Just do as I say."
The assistant revealed a worried expression, but in the end, he cupped his fists and left.
Mo Ruohua's heart was calm as she watched him leave.
She wasn't afraid that this matter would affect her, because she knew very well that as long as she was still wearing this original armor, didn't do anything too out of line, and didn't openly violate the military rules, then the military headquarters wouldn't make a fuss about this matter.
Why was the army still willing to put her in the reserve even though they knew that she was Zhang Yu's student when they were selecting candidates to wear the armor? Because it was simply too difficult to find someone who could wear the armor.
In truth, she also suspected that the military headquarters might have a way to control her through the armor.
However, she believed that even if there was such a method, the military headquarters wouldn't use it unless they had no other choice.
After all, a clear-headed captain was obviously different from a puppet. Otherwise, the military headquarters wouldn't have to spend so much effort to find someone. They could just use a creator.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yu to receive the report. Even though there were only a few words in it, he was able to deduce a lot of the situation during the battle based on it.
He pondered for a moment. Ancestor Yuan Tong didn't destroy the military headquarters' fortress because he had nothing to do. Instead, he sent a very obvious message to him.
He wanted to invite him out for a one-on-one battle. If he didn't come out, this person would continue to kill and destroy.
In fact, he had previously considered that if he left the encampment alone and went to the Waste Region, it was very likely that this person would be drawn out.
He didn't do this before because he had been preparing for this battle.
For example, he had asked for various records about Ancestor Yuan Tong and analyzed his magical powers and methods. He had also been absorbing the Divine Origin accumulated in the Golden Ring of Sealing to try to increase his strength before this battle.
After all, he was once a superior cultivator. Even if he wasn't the same as before, he couldn't underestimate him. He had to treat him as seriously as possible.
Now, he felt that he was almost ready and didn't have to wait any longer.
He ordered the servant in front of the hall, "Go and invite Fellow Daoist Wan Ming here."
After a while, Daoist Wan Ming came to the hall and said, "Xuan Zheng, did you call me?"
Zhang Yu said, "This evil spirit has been outside for some time. It's time to deal with it."
Daoist Wan Ming said, "Xuan Zheng, do you know where this person is?"
Zhang Yu said, "This person's whereabouts are erratic. It's hard to know where he is. This time, I will go alone. I think I can lure him out."
Daoist Wan Ming thought for a moment and suggested, "Xuan Zheng, if that's the case, why don't we make some arrangements?"
Zhang Yu raised his hand and said, "This evil spirit is very cautious. If there are people around, he will definitely not show up. Fellow Daoist, you and the others can just stay here and guard the square platform. As Xuan Zheng, I will fight the enemy with my sword and kill this person."
