Chapter 157 Super Spirit Gemstone
"This Old Knife is really a piece of work." Li Xiu could tell that Old Knife was injured, likely an old injury, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to enter the Super Spirit state only now.
When he talked about risking his life, it probably wasn't just fighting with the demon spirit, but truly risking his life to enter the Super Spirit state.
He gambled with his life, but just as he entered the Super Spirit state, his body couldn't hold up. The battle hadn't even started, and he was already finished, retreating from the Super Spirit state.
The demon spirit was stunned by Old Knife's actions, and after a while, both its hideous faces showed mocking smiles.
"Laughable carbon-based creature, you can't even withstand the power of the Super Spirit state, truly pitifully weak." The demon spirit slowly raised its weapon, pointing at Old Knife, who was still coughing blood. "Such a weak creature has no right to exist in this world, let alone occupy this world's gemstone resources. You should have been wiped out long ago."
Saying this, the weapon enveloped in Demonic Light in the demon spirit's hand was about to slash down at Old Knife.
"Who are you talking about?" A voice interrupted the demon spirit's rhythm.
Li Xiu walked over and stood in front of Old Knife.
"Kid, get lost as far as you can. This is my fight, and it has nothing to do with you," Old Knife yelled as he coughed up blood. Unfortunately, he coughed so hard that he could barely speak, bending over as he coughed up more blood.
"I've already said, matters inside the Trial Ground belong to the Trial Taker, matters outside belong to the Magic Armor Master. This demon spirit's Demon Core, I've decided to take it." Li Xiu didn't even turn his head, looking at the demon spirit as he spoke.
The demon spirit laughed as if it had heard the most ridiculous joke, letting out a piercing cackle, laughing almost to the point of choking, then its face suddenly turned cold, pointing its sword and mace at Li Xiu, "Are all carbon-based creatures this ridiculous? Fine, dead sooner or later, it's all the same, let me send you on your way first."
Saying this, the Demonic Light on the demon spirit's body flickered like lightning, its twin maces clashed violently, and the blood-red lightning exploded between the maces. With the sound of thunder and lightning, the blood-red streak of lightning seemed to tear through the sky, crossing the distance between them in an instant, striking Li Xiu.
Old Knife sighed deeply in his heart; he knew Li Xiu was doomed. Magic Armor Masters had no idea how terrifying demon spirits in the Super Spirit state could be.
Most demon spirits that could burst out from the Trial Gate were of low grade; they were the weakest among demon spirits of the same level.
Even an S-Class demon spirit is the weakest of the S-Class.
Magic Armor Masters who have killed several S-Class demon spirits think they are invincible, disregarding demon spirits, assuming they're nothing special, which is a huge mistake.
In fact, the average S-Class Magic Armor Master might not even be able to win against an S-Class Flowing Color Demon Spirit.
Confronting an S-Class Radiant Demon Spirit, only a Magic Armor Master with enough strength to be in the world's rankings might stand a chance.
Against an S-Class Radiant Demon Spirit, even the top ten ranked Magic Armor Masters would find it difficult to win, only managing to escape.
The S-Class Radiant Demon Spirits can only be challenged by a scarce few Magic Armor Masters possessing special armor in the heavenly domain.
As for demon spirits in the Super Spirit state, they have already surpassed the S-Class level. Fighting them as a Magic Armor Master is suicidal; even an S-Class Magic Armor Master means nothing in front of them. Only a large team of top Magic Armor Masters working together stands a chance to repel them.
This can be seen from the previous battles between Ye Xiyuan, Qin Shi, and the demon spirits. Their Magic Armors were already of top standard, yet they couldn't even destroy the golden demon spirits that hadn't entered the Super Spirit state, let alone this Super Spirit one.
Watching the blood-red lightning strike down, Old Knife desperately tried to stand straight and swing his sword, but he couldn't even stand straight, let alone hold the sword steadily. How could he unleash the Super Spirit power to swing his sword?
"Fine, this kid may be foolish, greedy, stingy, speaks unpleasantly, and often wears a dead-fish face that angers people, but at least he's decent in character. Having someone like him as a companion on the road to the Yellow Springs won't be lonely." Old Knife straightened up, resolved to stand upright even in death.
He watched Li Xiu, who stood in front of him, and that shocking streak of blood-red, waiting for the arrival of death.
But the expected death did not come; instead, Li Xiu in front of him, the Magic Armor on him was shining with blue light patterns. The black armor looked like a biological combat suit from the future, with blue light patterns emitting terrifying Light Energy, as if a nuclear reactor was undergoing a fission reaction and releasing energy.
Boom!
The red Demonic Light exploded before that Magic Armor, blooming like brilliant fireworks, streaks of light scattering everywhere, but not a single one could cross where that Magic Armor stood.
Old Knife's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at that Magic Armor like a biochemical monster, forgetting to cough for a moment.
"The power of the Super Spirit, indeed quite something," Li Xiu's forehead faintly gleamed with white light, and the blue light on the Light Speed One became stronger, with white smoke rising from the Demon Armor Shell.
That was caused by the excessive stimulation of Light Energy on the Magic Armor, as the materials couldn't bear the terrifying Light Energy, causing components to burn and melt from being overloaded. Continuous overloading would damage the Magic Armor components, even leading to melting or rendering the entire set of armor obsolete.
In past training, Li Xiu had often overloaded and blown up many S-Class Magic Armors.
