I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 716 - 20: Life-and-Death Struggle

The crimson armor emitted a dark red glow. Although it appeared seamless, resembling a single piece, upon closer inspection, one would easily notice that this peculiar armor was actually composed of variously sized scales, each inscribed with enigmatic runes.

The armor fit the body snugly, with the upper body being a standard full-cover type, while the lower body extended to an ankle-length skirt armor, unimpeding movement yet evoking an ultimate sense of oppression and danger.

Yun You stood still, yet merely by standing there, the surrounding Death God Assassins felt their heartbeats slow, as if weighed down by a heavy boulder.

This was both Yun You’s trump card and the bloody testament of her hands being stained with blood.

The Dragon Scale Armor, the fourth form of the crimson scales, was an ability Yun You acquired while on a mission in enemy territory, and it is currently Red Scale’s only form with a defensive function.

Its effect was simple: It formed a thick armor on Yun You, greatly enhancing her physical attributes and could absorb the hatred and loathing of the fallen, forming a spell on the armor.

As long as Yun You desired, she could unleash a potent, wide-range destructive secret technique using the accumulated power within the spell.

Of course, great power often comes with a heavy price. Red Scale’s previous forms were the same, and the Dragon Armor was no exception.

Normally, Yun You, as a Tier Five Peak powerhouse, could supply the energy the Dragon Armor needed. However, if the battle dragged on too long, this armor would require additional energy supply.

And it favored none other than Yun You’s blood.

Moreover, once the Dragon Armor was activated, it would not disengage unless every enemy in front had fallen.

In other words...

When Yun You summoned this armor, a true fight to the death commenced.

...

The leader of the Death God Squad was an experienced warrior within the organization, known as "Cang Feng." His strength was also at the Tier Five Peak level, the same realm as Yun You. However, due to more extensive battlefield experience, his situational judgment was also strong, which is why he was appointed the leader of this operation.

He silently observed Yun You, quickly assessing the situation in his mind...

"This young lass, like me, is at the Tier Five Peak. In a burst state, her strength may surpass my usual state slightly, but I have an entire team here! I am a Tier Five Peak and have some secret techniques at my disposal... Besides, I have 7 Tier Intermediate Five members, and 12 Tier Four Peak! I have an absolute advantage in both quantity and quality!"

"As for that unfathomable Chen Zaikun nearby..."

He turned his head slightly, glancing at Chen Zaikun out of the corner of his eye.

Though this guy’s strength was equally formidable, recent internal rumors from the Equality Association suggested discord between him and Yun You, meaning... he’s likely to stand by and watch, or even backstab.

This was the best opportunity. If missed, they might never be able to deal with Yun You again.

"Move! Priority is to eliminate this girl."

Cang Feng’s cold voice echoed through the mask, devoid of emotional fluctuation.

And at the moment the order was given, three shadows moved like phantoms, with an unmistakable objective—to take Yun You’s head.

The trio lunged from the front and two sides simultaneously, moving with such speed that the naked eye could hardly track them, leaving only faint afterimages in place.

Meanwhile, the leader, Cang Feng, silently vanished from sight, only to reappear behind Yun You as if by instant teleportation!

The four coordinated flawlessly, within a heartbeat closing off all Yun You’s escape directions from the front, back, and sides.

Simultaneously, four pitch-black swords shot out from their sleeves, slashing through the air in swathes of black shadows.

These swords were by no means ordinary, and Yun You realized it in an instant.

For she had seen them before; they were pure energy constructs named "Splitting Sword," a special equipment developed by the Death God Organization to target high-defense targets, capable of ignoring most metal and special material defenses, tearing through space and annihilating contacted matter. In some sense, they could pierce armor without limitation!

However, due to the exorbitant cost and the difficulty of controlling the wielders of these weapons, the Death God Organization rarely deployed such high-caliber weapons.

But now... to deal with her, Yun You, the organization had deployed four "Splitting Swords" at once! What a formidable move!

As she processed these thoughts, the four sword lights struck like venomous snakes, carrying terrifying power capable of tearing through space, targeting Yun You’s head, heart, back heart, and vital organs at the waist and abdomen with lethal intensity, leaving no room for escape!

"Hmph!"

Faced with a deadly move that would leave ordinary Tier Six powerhouses scrambling, Yun You merely snorted softly, not dodging...

And just as the four Splitting Swords were about to touch her body—

"Roar~!"

A low, majestic dragon’s roar reverberated from the void, as an intense crimson light burst from around Yun You! The joints of the armor extended sharp spikes, and the helmet transformed into a roaring dragon head, unleashing a destructive aura! A searing wave of heat erupted, radiating outward with her at the center...

This sudden change jolted the four assassins, but they had no choice but to keep going! The fastest assassin stabbed the Splitting Sword fiercely into the Dragon Scale Armor!
