Instant Defeat

The Muscle Zombie merely staggered back two steps.

In terms of strength, the Muscle Zombie seemed to have the edge.

"This is tricky."

Ye Yunchuan sighed. If he hadn't obtained the Light and Shadow Stone, this big guy would've been a real handful.

After all, the other guy was as hard as iron. Neither he nor Xiao Hei could break through its defenses.

At that thought, he stopped holding back and directly unleashed the power of the Fire Shadow Stone within him.

"Flame Dragon Armor—combine!"

In an instant, a flood of red light surged out of Ye Yunchuan.

"Armor—combine!"

As a mechanical voice rang out, a handsome suit of armor, predominantly red with silver-white trim, enveloped Ye Yunchuan.

"What is that?"

Seeing the Flame Dragon Armor appear, Sakayanagi Arisu, who had been watching cautiously, was utterly dumbfounded.

Ye Yunchuan really was mysterious. One trump card after another kept appearing, seemingly without end.

"Roar~" At the sight of the Flame Dragon Armor, the Muscle Zombie instinctively took a step back.

Though it had no intelligence, it could still sense Ye Yunchuan's strength on an instinctive level.

So it fled, turning around and walking away without looking back.

"Trying to run? Too late."

Ye Yunchuan leaped up and landed right in front of the Muscle Zombie, completely blocking its escape route.

Chapter 53: Instant Kill

"Roar~"

Seeing there was no way to escape, the monster was clearly desperate. It pounded its chest several times, then swung a fist at Ye Yunchuan.

But Ye Yunchuan didn't dodge. He took the punch head-on.

"Clang~"

The Muscle Zombie was clearly shocked to see that Ye Yunchuan was not only unharmed, but hadn't even taken a step back.

It instinctively staggered back a step.

"You've had your turn. Now it's mine!"

Ye Yunchuan let out a cold snort and punched the Muscle Zombie.

"Thud~"

The Muscle Zombie's chest caved in. The powerful force pierced straight through its chest and burst out of its back.

"Graaagh~"

The Muscle Zombie howled in agony, but its powerful life force kept it from dying right away.

"You really are tough."

Ye Yunchuan was a little surprised, then turned the dial on his right side.

Ding~

As a sound effect rang out, a weapon card projected from the Taiji symbol at the center of the Qiankun Belt.

"Flame Blade!"

Ye Yunchuan reached out and grabbed a crescent-shaped long blade, engraved with flame patterns, from the weapon card.

"So this is the Flame Blade?"

Ye Yunchuan was a little excited.

When he was a kid, he'd wanted to swing the Flame Blade around while watching Armor Hero. Naturally, holding one himself now filled him with excitement.

The Flame Blade really did have a unique design. An ordinary person would have a hard time using it properly.

"Let's see what you can do!"

Right then, the Muscle Zombie charged at Ye Yunchuan.

Ye Yunchuan didn't hold back. He swung the Flame Blade and passed it in a flash.

Whoosh~

Just as expected, the Zombie was sliced in two.

Half its head, along with its neck, slid off its body.

Not long after the Destroyer was killed, its body and soul were completely absorbed by the Killing Magic Mirror.

"So powerful!"

Sakayanagi Arisu watched, her eyes sparkling.

Clearly, Ye Yunchuan's strength made her feel completely safe.

"Roar!"

Seeing how easily Ye Yunchuan had dealt with its companion, the other Destroyer was clearly terrified. It smashed through the wall and fled outside.

"Hmph. Run? What good will that do?"

Ye Yunchuan didn't chase after it. Instead, he turned the dial on the left side of his belt.

Ding~

As the sound effect rang out, a Kill Seal marked with the character for "Slash" appeared from the Qiankun Belt.

"Fengmo Slash!"

Ye Yunchuan gently tapped the Kill Seal with the Flame Blade. In an instant, the character for "Slash" on the seal turned into particles of light and attached themselves to the blade.

The entire blade turned bright red.

Ye Yunchuan raised his hand and swung.

With a sharp whistling sound, a red blade of light shot out toward the fleeing Destroyer.

Boom~

The Destroyer struck by the Fengmo Slash lasted only a few seconds before exploding like fireworks.

[System notification: Killed 1 Destroyer. Obtained Constitution *1, Lottery Ticket Fragment *1 (4/5)]

Though it had been blown apart, the Killing Magic Mirror on Ye Yunchuan still absorbed the life energy of the kill.

After killing two powerful monsters in a row, the Killing Magic Mirror's energy meter was already two-fifths full.

"Already got four?"

Ye Yunchuan was a little surprised.

Without even realizing it, he had collected four lottery ticket fragments. If he killed just one more Sprinter or Destroyer, he'd get a chance to draw a prize.

"Impressive. As expected of my king."

Seeing Ye Yunchuan defeat his enemies, Sakayanagi Arisu naturally came out of the building.

"The material is quite unusual. Where did you get this armor?"

Unable to resist her curiosity, Sakayanagi touched the Flame Dragon Armor on Ye Yunchuan.

"Flame Dragon Armor. Want it?"

Seeing how curious she looked, Ye Yunchuan couldn't help teasing her.

"If you can give it to me, of course I want it."

Sakayanagi rolled her eyes.

She could control most humans, but her own combat ability was extremely weak.

Even after being strengthened, her physical strength was only a little greater than someone like Ryuen.

In the old environment, she might have been able to get by just fine. But the situation had clearly changed.

Neither the incredibly fast Sprinters nor the terrifyingly strong Destroyers were enemies she could easily take on.

"Give it to you?"

Ye Yunchuan paused.

He suddenly realized the idea might actually work.

He possessed the full power of the Fire Shadow Stone and could control it freely.

If he had complete control over it...

It wasn't impossible to transfer control of it to Sakayanagi Arisu.

The problem was that Ye Yunchuan urgently needed the armor as his trump card for now.

He couldn't transfer control of it to Sakayanagi Arisu just yet.

But with the Killing Magic Mirror, he could make a copy of the Fire Shadow Stone he controlled.

That way, he'd have two Fire Shadow Stones under his control.

In fact, Ye Yunchuan didn't even need two Fire Shadow Stones to split the Flame Dragon Armor in two.

After all, Xin Nan and Zhang Jian had done exactly that in the original story.

But the armor summoned that way would be much weaker.

It might even cause permanent damage to the other person.

Ye Yunchuan would never do that unless absolutely necessary.

"My ability is no secret to you. The more successful pregnancies I have, the stronger my ability gets. If you want armor, help me find more beautiful women."

"Heh. Same old scumbag speech!"

Sakayanagi Arisu was at a loss for words.

But she had to admit Ye Yunchuan had a point.

She hadn't done much to earn it.

Expecting Ye Yunchuan to give her such powerful armor just because she was the Empress was indeed a little greedy.

Still...

"Beautiful women?"

Sakayanagi did have a beautiful girl under her. Unfortunately, she'd already offered Morishita Ran to Ye Yunchuan as a sacrifice.

So who should she send to serve Ye Yunchuan?

"Hm? I think I forgot about the little dog I left behind."

Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly thought of that strange woman, Kamuro Masumi.

That little dog might not be very loyal.

But as a student in Class A, she had both the looks and the figure. She wasn't much less attractive than Morishita Ran, so she'd make a perfect offering in the future.

The problem was that Ye Yunchuan had already marked Kamuro Masumi as his own. Even if Sakayanagi offered her to him, he wouldn't accept.

"Looks like I'll have to find someone from the other Class C students. If that doesn't work, I can look at the other grades."

After talking with Sakayanagi Arisu for a while, Ye Yunchuan dismissed his armor.

"Lord Yunchuan, are you all right?"

At the same time, Katsuragi came out from the side.

"I'm fine. How did things go over there?"

"I checked all the dorm buildings. I cleared out the Zombies, but there's one infected person. What should I do?"
