Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2756: Chapter 105: Heavy Armor Formation (Part 2)

Just at this moment, the last surviving Shugu Heavy Armor Soldier recovered from the aftermath of the explosion.

He wore Bone Heavy Armor, shielding himself from the explosion’s after-effects, but his face was shattered and bloody from the debris.

Now, a cruel and determined grin appeared on his bloody face.

Dan Zhu, sharp-minded, saw this and his expression changed as he said, ”Not good!”

But after two consecutive waves of self-destruction, these Golden Core cultivators were somewhat stunned by the shockwaves.

In this less than a breath’s time, they couldn’t stop this last Heavy Armor Soldier from committing suicide.

The Shugu Heavy Armor Soldier thought solemnly, ”For the Barbarian God...” then steeled his heart and fiercely bit down.

But before he could bite down, Mo Hua’s eyes fixed on him.

Those eyes were sharp as swords, filled with the sinister atmosphere of Sword Prison, with black Evil Qi surging like the sea.

The grin remained on the Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldier’s face, yet his eyes showed a look of terror. In extreme fear, he couldn’t withstand a certain telekinetic pressure, his eyes became lifeless, and he collapsed to the ground.

Dan Zhu and the others were shocked, turning their heads towards Mo Hua.

Mo Hua closed his eyes, dispelling the Evil Qi, and when he reopened them, they were clear. He calmly instructed:

”Tie him up, use a steel iron hoop to clamp his mouth, don’t let him bite his tongue to commit suicide.”

”Yes.”

Ba Shan followed orders and forcibly embedded the iron hoop into the mouth of the last surviving Bone Heavy Armor Soldier.

He could open and close his mouth but couldn’t bite his tongue off anymore.

Mo Hua then went to examine the other two Heavy Armor Soldiers who had already self-destructed.

These two were completely ”shattered.”

Their flesh exploded into mist, and bones shattered into fragments.

The Bone Heavy Armor they wore was also completely destroyed, mixed with their flesh and bone fragments, indistinguishable from each other.

Mo Hua searched for a moment and picked out a few pieces of bone.

These bone fragments were more resilient in texture, and obviously had been inscribed with some kind of formation.

Moreover, judging by the texture and markings, these were very ancient formations. However, the self-destruction definitely started from within, beginning with the formations.

Once they exploded, nothing would be left.

Mo Hua fell into contemplation.

Chi Feng, affected by the explosion, was covered in wounds. But he was, after all, at the Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivation; although heavily injured, it hadn’t affected his core and bones. After a brief moment of reflection, he spoke to Mo Hua:

”It seems, this is the sole inherited Ancient Heavy Armor; once one is destroyed, there’s one less.”

”Those wearing these Heavy Armors are fiercely brave, carefully selected Barbarian Warriors.”

”They are loyal to the Barbarian God, loyal to their tribe, loyal to their ancestors; their flesh is fused with the Heavy Armor, their tongue root is bound with their life, they learn witchcraft to sever their tongue and die.”

”Once captured or faced with a desperate situation, they would bite their tongue to sever life force, causing the Heavy Armor to self-destruct, perishing together with the enemy, also preventing the Heavy Armor from falling into enemy hands...”

Mo Hua nodded, then looked toward Iron Skill Bone nearby.

Iron Skill Bone, under Mo Hua’s gaze, felt a chill on his scalp and nodded, ”Lord Chi Feng, you... are correct...”

Mo Hua neither confirmed nor denied it, and after contemplating for a moment, he said to Chi Feng: ”Lord Chi Feng, you and the Young Master should go ahead first.”

Lugu leads the Shugu Main Department, approaching like fierce tigers.

With formidable enemies outside, they still have more critical matters to handle now.

Dan Zhu said, ”Gentleman, you yourself...”

”No worries,” Mo Hua turned to glance at Iron Skill Bone, ”Iron Skill Bone Elder staying behind is enough.”

Iron Skill Bone, being named by Mo Hua, felt a chill in his heart.

Dan Zhu thought for a while, then nodded, ”Gentleman, take care more.”

”Mm.”

Dan Zhu then ceased being courteous and led Chi Feng and the others away.

In the blood-stained prison, only Mo Hua, Iron Skill Bone, and that last Shugu Heavy Armor Barbarian Soldier who had been intimidated by Mo Hua’s pupil skill but had not died remained.

Mo Hua looked at this Heavy Armor Barbarian Soldier, feeling quite emotionally stirred.

These Heavy Armor Barbarian Soldiers, with sincere beliefs and fierceness, unafraid of death, were indeed rare warriors; it would be great if they could be used for one’s own purposes...

It’s just a pity that their positions differ, their interests oppose, and now they can only confront each other with swords and blades.

Mo Hua then looked at the Bone Heavy Armor on this Heavy Armor Soldier.

This Heavy Armor, with dark bone color, was extremely heavy and sturdy; once worn, it almost melded into the flesh, making it impossible to remove.

And with a slight carelessness, if this Heavy Armor Soldier committed suicide, the Heavy Armor would also self-destruct.

Therefore, some other means must be devised to obtain these Heavy Armors inscribed by the ancestors of the Shugu Department.

Mo Hua thought for a while and commanded Iron Skill Bone: ”Wake him up.”

Iron Skill Bone hesitated somewhat internally, as he didn’t understand Mo Hua’s intentions, but dared not defy the ”Demon’s” orders, so he took out a bone needle and stabbed it into the neck of that Heavy Armor Soldier.

The Heavy Armor Barbarian Soldier was awakened, seeing Iron Skill Bone and especially the bone needle in his hand, suddenly exclaimed in shock:

”You... are from my Shugu Department! You are the Golden Core Commander?!”

Iron Skill Bone did not respond.

The Heavy Armor Soldier roared in anger: ”You are a traitor?! You betrayed the tribe, betrayed the ancestors, betrayed the Barbarian God! You dog!”

His mouth was clamped by the iron hoop, bleeding, so his speech was somewhat muffled but full of unspeakable anger.

Apparently, what Iron Skill Bone had done was utterly unforgivable.

Iron Skill Bone’s expression was calm, silently enduring the insults from his clansman.

But Mo Hua could sense Iron Skill Bone’s inner pain.

Only Mo Hua, the ”Demon Monster,” understood Iron Skill Bone’s loyalty and the bitterness of bearing disgrace for responsibilities.

It’s just a pity that no one else understood.

Mo Hua said to that Shugu Heavy Armor Soldier: ”Remove the Heavy Armor on your body, and I can spare your life.”
