Yu Xian didn't believe he could defeat the current White Ape.
His only purpose was to stall for time.
Nora glanced at Chen Ling, then nodded and said, "Okay, be careful then."
If Chen Ling were left alone here and something unexpected happened, Nora would never forgive herself, so although she wanted to help Yu Xian, she obediently stayed behind.
Yu Xian stepped out of the private room, his body instantly turning red, followed by numerous tiny bubbles protruding and covering his entire body, enough to make trypophobics scream on the spot.
Then, Silver Blood-formed silver threads rapidly wove together, covering all the bubbles, forming a set of silver armor.
The silver threads he created this time were incredibly fine; after being tightly woven, the armor showed no signs of being woven, not only having distinct edges but also being as smooth as a mirror, giving off an indestructible feeling.
"Xian Yu, you look so cool!"
Zhang Shou watched Yu Xian transform, looking at the cool armor in front of him, and exclaimed excitedly.
This set of armor was definitely a man's dream. Zhang Shou felt that if he wore this armor, his courage would increase by 1000%, and he could even stand tall in front of an Ancestor.
"Alright, let's act separately. You go save people, and I'll hold back the giant ape!"
Yu Xian clenched his fists, confirming that the armor wouldn't hinder his movements, then said to Zhang Shou.
Now was not the time for fooling around. Zhang Shou nodded and immediately turned to leave, while Yu Xian walked in the other direction.
In the arena's cage, Zhou Tai held the severely injured Bai Jinlong in his hand.
He weighed him for a moment and laughed maliciously, "Thank you very much, you've shown me the true path to becoming stronger. In return... let you experience what power and speed are!"
With that, he threw him with all his might.
Bai Jinlong instantly smashed through the alloy cage, his body hurtling towards the audience seats.
However, just as Bai Jinlong was about to hit the ground, a silver shadow flashed by, and Bai Jinlong was saved.
Zhou Tai frowned, looking at the silver armored figure holding Bai Jinlong, unable to gauge his strength for a moment, so he chose not to act rashly.
The two sides stood in quiet confrontation.
Yu Xian had already overestimated the giant ape's strength, but it was only when he caught Bai Jinlong that he realized he had still underestimated it.
The moment he caught Bai Jinlong, the silver threads on his body almost broke, and the blood energy-formed bubbles beneath the silver threads burst one after another. Even after two layers of cushioning, the hands he used to catch Bai Jinlong were still fractured.
Of course, it was only a minor fracture, and with his physique, the injury healed in an instant.
Fortunately, when designing the armor, he made it as cool as possible, referencing a large number of armors from film and television works, making his armor look very much like a strong person's.
As long as he stood still, no one could be sure of his true strength.
Apparently, his appearance intimidated Zhou Tai, and neither side made the first move.
At this moment, the three people outside the cage quietly retreated. Although they had Feng Class strength, they felt no sense of security standing in front of the giant ape.
However, their movement broke the delicate balance between Yu Xian and Zhou Tai. No power comes out of nowhere. Although Zhou Tai successfully deeply activated the Vermillion Ape bloodline within the giant ape's body through the special properties of the Brain-Eating Neural Worm, it severely depleted the giant ape.
Now, the giant ape's body urgently needed energy replenishment.
With enough food, the giant ape could become even stronger, even reaching Eagle Rank level.
His eyes moved, instantly locking onto one of the middle-aged men, and his body suddenly lunged towards the target the next second. Yu Xian had been watching him, so when he moved, Yu Xian moved too. A silver thread shot out quickly, wrapped around the man targeted by Zhou Tai, and immediately pulled him back.
The middle-aged man only felt a terrifying punch wind crushing down on him. Just as he was about to be crushed, his body rapidly retreated backward. By the time he came to his senses, he was already sitting on a chair.
"Hoo... hooo hooo."
The middle-aged man realized belatedly that he had taken a stroll in front of the gates of hell, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat and gasping for air.
When the giant ape attacked, the other two also cleverly ran backward, so by the time Zhou Tai controlled the giant ape's body to get up, there was no one around.
"Your opponent is me. Don't even think about harming innocent people."
Yu Xian, through the two layers of bubbles in his armor, said to Zhou Tai with a changed voice.
He was worried that Zhou Tai would recognize his voice and thus identify him. Once Zhou Tai realized that his strength was not actually strong, it would be troublesome.
Boom!
Boom boom!
Boom boom boom...
Zhou Tai looked at Yu Xian, his eyes narrowing slightly. The Vermillion Ape's ability, the sound of war drums, immediately rang out.
However, Yu Xian felt nothing. If Zhou Tai could make his heart beat even once, he would have to thank Zhou Tai. Unfortunately, Vampires usually don't have heartbeats, so Vampires are directly immune to this ability of the Vermillion Ape.
"It's useless?"
Zhou Tai thought to himself, looking at Yu Xian with renewed respect.
It must be said that Yu Xian, standing still, had the demeanor of a true master.
That set of mirror-smooth armor, along with the slightly fluttering trench coat, created a powerful aura.
Furthermore, the red lenses in the helmet's eye slits obscured his eyes, making it impossible for Zhou Tai to determine Yu Xian's emotions through his gaze.
Actually, the red lenses in the eye slits were made of blood energy, which not only provided good defense but also enhanced Yu Xian's eyes.
Under the double reinforcement of Silver Blood and blood energy, his dynamic vision was extremely strong, which was also why he could clearly see Zhou Tai's movements.
In a different scenario, perhaps Zhou Tai would have had enough patience to confront Yu Xian, but he didn't now.
Firstly, this was an arena, human territory. The longer he delayed here, the more dangerous it became. Additionally, the giant ape's body was ravenous and urgently needed nutritional replenishment, so he couldn't afford to waste time.
He controlled the White Ape to grasp the alloy cage, then suddenly exerted force and swung it violently. The cage, which had been firmly fixed to the ground, was actually uprooted by him, and the entire huge cage was thus smashed towards Yu Xian.
To be honest, this scene was incredibly exaggerated, and Yu Xian was startled by Zhou Tai's move.
However, Yu Xian reacted quickly. The blood energy bubbles under his feet provided enough elasticity. He bent his legs and leaped up. The moment the cage smashed down, he pressed his hands on the cage and pushed hard, using that force to retreat. Several silver threads instantly wrapped around the chandelier on the ceiling and pulled, narrowly avoiding the cage's attack.
Rumble!
After a deafening roar, dust rolled.
The cage slammed heavily onto the audience seats, shaking the entire arena.
The areas hit by the cage directly caved in, and the walls showed numerous cracks.
If the cage had solidly hit Yu Xian, he would probably have been smashed in half on the spot. Although he wouldn't die, it definitely wouldn't feel good.
It's terrifying!
Yu Xian looked at the completely deformed cage below and felt it was even more terrifying than facing Jin Sheng.
"Phew!"
The giant ape exhaled a puff of steam at this moment; that burst of power had consumed a significant amount of its energy.
Unfortunately, it failed to hit the target, instead wasting its physical strength for nothing.
However, through Yu Xian's movements, Zhou Tai also realized something: at least Yu Xian's way of dealing with the giant ape's attacks was to dodge, not to take them head-on. This indicated that Yu Xian's strength was definitely not as great as his.
So, next, let's see about speed!
If his speed and strength both far exceeded Yu Xian's, then this battle could be resolved quickly.
First, increase the attack range.
Zhou Tai surveyed his surroundings, then manipulated the giant ape's body to walk beneath the arena, directly dismantling the barriers in front of the audience seats. With two barriers in his hands, his attack range instantly increased from the original two meters to ten meters.
As long as Yu Xian entered his ten-meter range, he could easily swat Yu Xian to death.
On the other side, Yu Xian saw the giant ape dismantle the barriers, and his eyebrows subtly raised.
The next second.
Zhou Tai manipulated the giant ape to push off with its legs, its body shooting towards Yu Xian like a cannonball, while simultaneously swinging the barriers with both hands, sandwiching Yu Xian in the middle.
However, Yu Xian hooked his hands, and four silver threads danced like silver snakes, sweeping across the barriers.
The silver threads formed from Silver Blood were not made solely of silver; they also contained Yu Xian's blood. Therefore, after receiving Nora's promised twenty catties of silver, his silver threads were quite abundant, allowing for offensive and defensive maneuvers even after constructing the armor.
Of course, it was impossible to unleash dense silver threads with a flick of the hand, like he did in the previous battle against Zhou Tai.
In his armored state, he could only deploy a maximum of four to five silver threads, with the longest attack range being between fifty and three hundred and fifty meters.
But this was completely sufficient.
In an instant, the barriers crossed over Yu Xian's body, but they all turned into fine fragments. Amidst the scattered fragments, Yu Xian's armor remained as bright as new, exuding immense coolness.
