A Demonic Light directly blasted Zhongshan City Lord’s head, and his corpse slowly fell to the ground afterward.
Li Xiu withdrew his finger, not bothering to look at the Zhongshan City Lord’s corpse, turned around to look at the door, seeing those soldiers outside already dead or fled, only Afei and Sha Chu remained outside.
"Hehe, if I’d known it was this simple, I’d have saved time on modifying your Demon Armor and just come in and killed everyone." Ximen Guan appeared from somewhere, walking into the City Lord’s Mansion while laughing.
"I’m not in the habit of killing and looting." If it weren’t for the Zhongshan City Lord seeking death himself, Li Xiu didn’t enjoy using force.
"True, you are alone, no matter how strong, you are still just one person. No matter how formidable a Magic Armor Master is, they can’t stand against the entire Southern Cross Federation." Ximen Guan seemed to agree with Li Xiu, but then his tone shifted, "But that’s only when you’re wearing regular S-Class Magic Armor. If you put on my S-Class Magic Armor, even if all the Magic Armor Masters of the Southern Cross Federation came to kill you, you still wouldn’t lose. Do you want to consider wearing my armor in the future..."
"You should go find your armor first." Li Xiu said as he walked toward the City Lord’s Mansion.
He had no thoughts on Ximen Guan’s armor, but he was very interested in Zhongshan City Lord’s vault.
Several people rushed into the City Lord’s Mansion, ignoring the panicked servants and women, and began searching inside.
The result was disappointing; the Zhongshan City Lord’s assets seemed rather meager, with only a batch of Black Apatite in stock. Other rubies and sapphires were only a few small pieces, none too big.
In fact, the Zhongshan City Lord had nearly exhausted all his savings to complete Ximen Guan’s armor, leaving him with no real wealth now.
Li Xiu’s only gain was a batch of Black Apatite, while Ximen Guan finally found his armor.
Below the City Lord’s Mansion was a large underground laboratory, filled with Magic Armor researchers captured by the Zhongshan City Lord. They were imprisoned there to study and repair Ximen Guan’s armor.
When Li Xiu and his group saw the armor, it was in a massive transparent container filled with an unknown liquid.
The armor was soaking in the liquid, connected by many neuron-like filaments, each filament transmitting continuous strands of light.
As Li Xiu saw the armor, he couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed.
He had seen many Magic Armors, but such a sight was his first.
The concept of armor usually implies armors he had seen, styled like armor but with slight variations.
But Ximen Guan’s armor was different; it wasn’t armor, it looked like clothing.
The black jumpsuit inside the container floated slightly, looking as soft as silk.
"Is this really Magic Armor?" Even Sha Chu couldn’t help but ask.
"What do you think? Impressive, right? Only I can create such Magic Armor. All those Magic Armor Laboratories and researchers are just trash. How could they compare to me, Ximen Guan? They are not even worthy to serve me." Ximen Guan boasted.
Indeed, Ximen Guan had reason to be proud, but hearing these words felt rather unpleasant.
"What a mess, who thought of this method for my Magic Armor? They’re idiots." Ximen Guan scolded the researchers who trembled with fear.
While cursing, he opened the container, ripped off the filaments connected to the armor, and took out the jumpsuit-like Magic Armor.
Though it looked incredibly soft, once Ximen Guan released it, the jumpsuit eerily stood like a person, appearing strangely surreal.
Like an invisible man wearing clothes, you could see the clothes floating but not the person inside.
The overall style of the armor resembled a mysterious wizard wearing a cloak, with a veil covering the face, only the eye section was exposed.
Ximen Guan explained, "The eye part was unfinished because considering future entry into the Trial Gate, ordinary materials wouldn’t work. I’ve never found suitable materials, and in the end got imprisoned before I could finish it."
After a pause, he continued, "The Zhongshan City Lord wanted an S-Class Demon Core from the Hero Trial Ground for the final eye part, but he didn’t know, I’ve tried it before. The S-Class Demon Core obtained from the Hero Trial Ground isn’t suitable for making the eye part of this Magic Armor."
"Forget about those things for now, just fix my Magic Armor first. You’ve torn it apart." Li Xiu pointed at the Ghost-faced Magic Armor.
"I haven’t completed the modifications yet. You should’ve directly barged into the City Lord’s Mansion from the start, and there wouldn’t be so many issues." Ximen Guan replied.
"Fix it quickly." Li Xiu tossed the Ghost-faced Magic Armor Box to Ximen Guan.
The Zhongshan City Lord might truly be related to Red Sand City Lord. Once he hears about his relative being killed, he might send people to Zhongshan City for revenge. The Ghost-faced Magic Armor must be fixed quickly.
