Chapter 58 Removing the Iron Armor

Jiang Xuan exerted force with his feet and pulled out the silver spear that had half of its tip stabbed into the side of the brown lion, creating some distance between him and the brown lion.

The brown lion's unexpected bite just now really took Jiang Xuan by surprise and scared him into a cold sweat.

But after calming down a little, Jiang Xuan was still excited about his understanding of those Falling Leaf Spear Techniques.

Since leaving Yingzhou City, Jiang Xuan, a young warrior who has just entered the Heavenly Level, has encountered powerful enemies one after another.

In order to leave enough reaction time in the battle with a strong enemy, Jiang Xuan had to frequently retreat in time after a strike in the battle, and actively increase the fighting distance with the opponent.

This resulted in a slightly awkward situation where he often faced his opponent at medium to long distances during battle, and was unable to take advantage of the spear's continuous attack.

Today in the battle, Jiang Xuan's further understanding of these Falling Leaf Spear Techniques gave him the opportunity to alleviate or even change the unfavorable situation where he could not take advantage of the long spear's continuous attack.

After throwing the fine iron armor in its mouth away, the brown lion looked at the place where the fine iron armor fell for a while, then turned its head back, looked at Jiang Xuan, opened its mouth and roared.

When the brown lion bit Jiang Xuan's shoulder armor just now, Jiang Xuan did not notice the brown lion's slightly peculiar teeth. At this moment, the brown lion opened its mouth wide, and Jiang Xuan was surprised to find that the brown lion in front of him had a metallic luster on its teeth.

At this moment, Sha Lao was standing behind the bushes with his hands behind his back, observing the battle between Jiang Xuan and the brown lion calmly.

The veiled young woman's calf wound had almost healed thanks to the effects of the pill. She leaned against a nearby tree, barely standing up, and gazed at the young warrior fiercely battling a brown lion in the distance, her beautiful eyes flickering.

By observing the brown lion's metallic teeth, Jiang Xuan guessed that the lion's teeth might have reached a certain strength. Correspondingly, the lion's bite force was probably also terrifying.

Jiang Xuan had just considered removing the fine iron armor when the battle reached a certain stage.

However, the removal of the fine iron armor this time was obviously not entirely Jiang Xuan's active choice, but a slightly passive and spontaneous choice made by Jiang Xuan under the pressure of the battle situation.

However, this choice did allow Jiang Xuan to feel less entangled and less complicated in his assessment of the battle situation. At that time, the fine iron armor was tightly gripped by the brown lion, and he had to remove it even if he didn't want to.

Removing the fine iron armor meant that Jiang Xuan's defensive ability was greatly weakened. He could only rely on his own body movements to dodge, or rely on the blocking ability of the spear in his hand to deal with the attacks of the brown lion.

Everything has its pros and cons. Holding the Yanxing Spear and taking off his fine iron armor, Jiang Xuan is lightly equipped, and both his speed and flexibility will be significantly improved.

These were also the battle strategies that Jiang Xuan came up with shortly after the war began, based on his own combat situation and the characteristics of the brown lion.

Given the brown lion's extremely fast speed, it was difficult for Jiang Xuan to gain time to prepare for a long-range throwing skill. Even if he could gain time to prepare for a long-range throwing skill at a longer distance, the brown lion would have more time to react due to the long distance, thus easily avoiding Jiang Xuan's long-range attack.

In this case, Jiang Xuan simply held the Yanxing Spear, temporarily removed the fine iron armor, and fought with the brown lion with speed, trying to take advantage of the spear's continuous attack.

"Come on, let's try the speed first." Jiang Xuan shouted.

"Jingzhe Spear!" Jiang Xuan bowed slightly, stepped on the ground, and then jumped up at a high speed, holding the spear with both hands in the air, preparing to chop.

However, due to the reduction in weight, the height Jiang Xuan jumped at this moment was indeed far beyond his expectations, which made him feel helpless.

Since it was a tentative attack, Jiang Xuan did not use his full strength in this Jingzhe Spear attack, but instead focused on controlling the attack.

However, while the leap's height increased the attack's power, the greater distance from the ground inevitably prolonged its landing, making the Jingzhe Spear's impact more predictable and counterable. Slashing down at breakneck speed, the brown lion, despite its exceptional speed and reflexes, still underestimated the Jingzhe Spear's descent.

As the brown lion made an incomplete dodge, the silver spear drew a silver straight line on its side. After the silver line passed, a not-so-deep wound appeared on the side of the brown lion, and red liquid flowed out.

Because he didn't use his full strength, Jiang Xuan landed safely despite jumping high. This was the first time he had landed safely after using the Jingzhe Spear.

Basically satisfied with the previous attack, Jiang Xuan stood up with satisfaction, made some adjustments, and immediately launched the next attack on the brown lion.

Jiang Xuan exerted force with his feet, jumped up, and his body drew a very sharp arc, landing not far from the brown lion.

Almost at the moment Jiang Xuan landed, the brown lion adjusted its direction and suddenly jumped up, with its sharp claws ready to slap Jiang Xuan in the air.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan exerted force sideways with his feet, instantly moving sideways to the side of the brown lion. The silver spear light flashed, and the tip of the spear deeply penetrated the side of the brown lion that was about to fall to the ground.

The brown lion roared angrily, and at the moment Jiang Xuan drew out his spear, the brown lion, which had just landed, slapped Jiang Xuan on the side with its claws.

A little beyond the brown lion's expectations, Jiang Xuan did not retreat to create distance between himself and the brown lion. Instead, he drew his spear and immediately blocked the brown lion's sharp claws.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan and the brown lion engaged in close combat again.

However, this close combat at this moment was completely different from the previous one.

The silver spear transformed into a willow-like line and actually took advantage of the speed, steadily suppressing the dark claw marks of the brown lion.

The brown lion saw that its speed, which it was proud of, was no longer an advantage, so it began to deliberately speed up its attack.

As a result, the rhythm of its attack became unbalanced, putting it in a further passive position.

"puff!"

At some point, the silver spear broke through the brown lion's defense and pierced into its flesh.

But Jiang Xuan immediately took out his spear and continued to attack and defend with the brown lion.

"Pfft... pfft..."

The brown lion's attack speed was greatly affected due to its injury, and it began to be unable to keep up with Jiang Xuan's attack speed, and was hit by the spear many times.

"Boom!"

There was a sound of falling to the ground, and the brown lion finally had no strength to fight anymore.
