Armor Guardians

Chapter 173 Third-Party Forces

"Come on, let me see what's so great about your Gold Group!"

Wearing the Taotie Armor, Luo Deyu felt his body instantly filled with boundless power. After the battle, not only the Zhuzhao Armor was affected, but the other armors were also affected to some extent.

For example, the Taotie Armor worn by Luo Deyu also absorbed some of the negative energy of the alien beasts in the previous battle. This greatly enhanced the power of the Taotie Armor and also enhanced its ability to control people's negative emotions, thus successfully controlling the summoner and turning the summoner into its puppet.

The Taotie Armor features a Taotie head on its waist, but the head is no longer as calm, indifferent, and arrogant as before; instead, it has transformed into a ferocious, baring-toothed expression.

Upon seeing this, Huang Xun, clad in the Yellow Dragon Armor, and Teng Zhengqi, clad in the Teng Snake Armor, immediately prepared for battle, and the fight was about to begin.

"attack."

Since the enemy was already prepared to fight, there was no need for us to hold back anymore. Teng Zhengqi took the lead in ordering his teammates who were surrounding Luo Deyu to launch an attack.

In an instant, armor-piercing bullets specially designed for the armor and the alien beasts roared out from the weapons of the Gold Group combatants, heading straight for Teng Zhengqi's location.

If it were the Taotie Armor from before, these specially made bullets would indeed have given Luo Deyu a lot of pain, but the Gold Group will improve, and the armor will also be upgraded.

"Void Devourer".

With his left and right palms placed together at his waist, a calm and composed voice emanated from the Taotie armor.

Immediately afterwards, one after another small black hole with suction force appeared around Luo Deyu, and all the bullets flying towards Luo Deyu were sucked into them without exception, and could not cause him any harm.

Feeling the suction coming from ahead, Huang Xun quickly ordered his companions again: "Be careful to keep your distance and don't get too close to the target."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xun and Teng Zhengqi saw the two unlucky guys being sucked away. For ordinary members of the Gold Group, the suction force was too great, especially since they had been constantly moving closer to Luo Deyu.

In order to save their companion, Huang Xun and Teng Zhengqi jumped up at the same time, and then each reached out in a different direction to grab the person.

"Give it back to you."

Seizing the opening, the Taotie Armor, which had been covering and closing its hands, began to form hand seals. The suction force instantly turned into power. The bullets that had been sucked in earlier did not disappear; the Taotie Armor simply kept them safe for a period of time.

Bullets burst forth, but this time they changed direction, targeting the exposed weaknesses in the Yellow Dragon Armor and the Teng Snake Armor.

"hateful."

With a curse, Huang Xun and Teng Zhengqi, both clad in armor, simultaneously shielded their unprotected comrades behind their own bodies.

Because of their special design, these bullets are far more powerful than ordinary bullets. If they hit an ordinary person, they can kill them instantly. Even if the bullet doesn't hit a vital spot, the high-voltage current they carry can turn an ordinary person into charred remains instantly.

That's why Huang Xun and Teng Zhengqi are so cautious and want to protect their teammates.

(To clarify, this isn't about whitewashing. Just like any organization has good and bad people, the Gold Group is, after all, a righteous organization, and most of its members are actually good. They often do things against their conscience because they are forced to follow orders from higher-ups.)
Zila~

Boom~
Bullets crackled and exploded against the Yellow Dragon Armor and the Teng Snake Armor, accompanied by the agonizing screams of Huang Xun and Teng Zhengqi, which Luo Deyu found quite enjoyable. "What a Golden Group, nothing special. As expected, whoever obtains the armor can become a powerful figure. Now, can I ask you to hand over your armor?"

Knowing that his resistance had offended the Gold Group, Luo Deyu decided to eliminate the threat on the spot rather than let them recover and cause him more trouble. They were the ones who forced him to this!

He was originally a rather cowardly and timid person, but after being possessed by the Taotie Armor, he found himself changed. He dared to do and was capable of doing things that he wouldn't have dared to do before. Now that they were using the slogan of justice to try to steal his armor, he certainly wouldn't allow it.

"Team Leader Huang, Team Leader Teng, you two retreat immediately, we'll cover you."

Wearing the Taotie armor, Luo Deyu started walking towards Huang Xun and Teng Zhengqi, which made the Jin Group combat personnel who had retreated to a distance rush back. They would not abandon their teammates.

In an instant, a barrage of specially made bullets was fired at Luo Deyu, attempting to stop him, or at least to create some disruption and give his teammates a chance to escape.

Xia Qianmeng arrived at the scene from the shadows of the other building ruins.

Xia Qianmeng was somewhat surprised by the situation on the scene. She thought that the Jin Group was suppressing Luo Deyu and attacking with so many people. She was worried that she was too late. It seems that she overestimated the Jin Group.

Since they haven't finished fighting yet, let them continue.

Thinking this, Xia Qianmeng found a relatively smooth-looking stone, patted it to remove the dust, and then sat down, concealing her presence, to watch the show.

The Jin Group members were beaten so badly by Luo Deyu, even if I don't have to step in, they'll probably invite others, right? Xia Qianmeng thought to herself.

On the other side, the black team snipers that Gao Fei had assigned to Xia Qianmeng had basically arrived at their respective sniping positions and were already in position. Xia Qianmeng didn't like the title of team leader, so she gave herself a code name: Nightmare.

(It's a bit childish, but please bear with it. The author doesn't have much talent for naming things, otherwise calling it "Boss" might have been even more childish...)
"Report... Nightmare, an unknown third-party force has been discovered."

"Ok?"

Hearing the intelligence information coming through the headset, Xia Qianmeng's attention was immediately diverted. Who else here would be interested in the armor?

"It seems so, the Shadow Group. Oh no, they've spotted me..."

"The Shadow Crew? Are you sure?"

However, this time the other party failed to respond further, as if it had died.

Xia Qianmeng naturally recognized the film crew, the place that nurtured her talent. Their appearance was indeed quite unexpected for her.

As time went by, Xia Qianmeng's memories gradually returned, but now they were mostly unimportant and couldn't significantly change her mindset.

Of the ten snipers, one was killed as soon as they arrived. Xia Qianmeng didn't know how many people from the Shadow Group had come. She felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
