Strip me of my armor? I'll summon the Emperor in a flash!

Chapter 5 Dark Sky Eagle Wind King
"Ding! A mutant beast has been detected!"

Mission: Defeat a mutant beast! (0/1)

Reward: Unlock Dark Eagle Wind King form

The long-absent system voice sounded again, making Li Yan's eyes light up.

"Dark Sky Eagle Wind King, the evolved form of the Dark Wind Eagle Armor, replicating the exact same evolutionary path as the Wind Eagle Armor!" Without hesitation, Li Yan got up and headed towards the location provided by the system.

And the other side

ERP Research Institute

They also detected the appearance of the alien beasts.

"Oh no, another mutant beast has appeared!" Meizhen sat in front of the control panel, her expression grave, her fingers tapping incessantly on the panel.

"Dongshan, given your current condition, are you capable?"

Meizhen looked at Dongshan inside the medical pod, and seeing his appearance, she said with some concern.
Currently, Dong Shan is the only armor summoner by her side. Xin Nan is not in the research institute, and it will take some time to notify him to go there.

As for Bei Miao, we don't know where he is now, and it will take some time.

Therefore, our only hope now rests on Dongshan.

Just thinking about Dongshan's injuries made Meizhen feel a little uneasy.

Mimi's pale face was reflected in the glass dome of the medical pod.

Inside the cabin, Dongshan's chest was wrapped in bio-repair bandages, and beneath the pale blue gel, the gruesome wounds were still oozing traces of blood.

Dongshan inside also heard what Meizhen said.

Upon hearing that a supernatural beast had appeared, he also wanted to get up.

He suffered a severe blow from Li Yan and wanted to regain some confidence by fighting against the mutant beasts.

However, as soon as he stood up, a sharp pain in his chest spread throughout his body, almost causing him to fall to the ground. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it, struggling to sit up.

"Dongshan, what's wrong with you right now?"

"Teleport me there." Dongshan suddenly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse but firm.

He struggled to sit up, and the bandages he was repairing to cracked in several places as he moved, the blood seeping out turning the pale blue into dark red.

"Dongshan, you should stay there and continue your treatment. I'll notify Xinnan and Beimiao now." Meizhen quickly stopped her, seeing this. "You're too weak right now; you're not fit to fight at all!"

Dongshan gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's nothing, just a small mutant beast."

Enter the teleportation room

"Satellite transmission initiated!" She finally pressed the confirmation button, her fingers turning white from the force. "Dongshan, if you can't hold on, retreat immediately!"

The moment the teleportation beam enveloped him, Dongshan gripped the Wind Eagle Summoner tightly.

The humiliation of being crushed by Li Yan burned in his chest; he needed this battle—even if it left him battered and bruised.

“Xin Nan, Bei Miao, there are mutant beasts appearing in the city. Dong Shan has already gone there, but I'm worried his body might not be able to handle it. You need to go there immediately.”

At the same time, Meizhen immediately informed Xinnan and Beimiao through the communication system.

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

……

The afterglow of the setting sun stained the square blood-red, and terrified screams shattered the evening's tranquility.

The wolf-beast stood upright, its two-meter-tall body covered in sticky slime, and each swing of its claws brought up a foul-smelling gust of wind.

not far away

Dongshan was teleported over.

He clutched his chest, trying to ease the pain, while a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"The mutant beasts have finally appeared!"

"I'll take care of you today!"

"Wind Eagle Armor, combined!"

Despite the pain, Dongshan summoned his armor, and a dazzling blue-white light enveloped him.

The Wind Eagle Armor completely covered his body.

"Wind Eagle Sword!"

Summoning the Wind Eagle Sword, Dongshan charged towards the ferocious wolf beast.

"Help!"

A woman in high heels tripped and fell to the ground, watching helplessly as a barbed beast's claws came crashing down on her.

"clang!"

The blue and white figure swept past like a gust of wind, the Wind Eagle Sword colliding with the sharp claws and bursting into dazzling sparks.

Dongshan used the momentum to flip backward and landed. The sharp pain in his chest made his vision go black, but his hand holding the sword remained as steady as a rock.

"Go!" he shouted without turning his head, his voice hoarse from the pain beneath his mask.

The wolf-beast tilted its head, and a hint of human-like mockery flashed in its scarlet beast eyes.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and thick green venom shot out like arrows!

Dongshan hurriedly rolled to avoid it, the venom corroding the ground with a sizzling sound.

He gritted his teeth and charged forward, his Wind Eagle Sword drawing a brilliant blue arc straight for his throat—but just as it was about to strike, a tearing pain shot through his chest!
"Ugh!"

The movement hesitated for half a second, and the wolf beast's tail lashed out like a steel whip.

Dongshan crashed into the fountain like a kite with a broken string, aggravating his chest injury once again!
ERP Control Room

"Dongshan's vital signs are rapidly deteriorating!" Meizhen slammed her fist on the alarm button. "Beimiao, where are you?!"

On the holographic screen, the curves representing Dongshan's vital signs are fluctuating wildly, indicating that Dongshan's physical condition is deteriorating!
We're at a point where we can't hold on any longer.

battlefield
Dongshan staggered to his feet, the pain in his body causing him to feel dizzy and twitch slightly.

The wolf-like beast approached unhurriedly, its sharp claws carving deep furrows in the ground, as if enjoying the dying struggle of its prey.

"asshole."

The Wind Eagle Sword glowed faintly again, but this time the blade was noticeably dimmer.

Dongshan mustered his strength and leaped up, but was struck in the waist and abdomen by the beast's claws mid-air!
"boom!"

He crashed into a coffee shop, shattering the glass facade.

Amidst the blue light of the forcibly deactivated Wind Eagle Armor, Dong Shan vomited a mouthful of blood, his vision beginning to blur.

The shadow of the wolf beast had loomed over the doorway.
"Crazy waterfall!"

A jet-black water meteor suddenly fell from the sky, and the wolf beast howled as it was knocked back several meters.

Bei Miao's figure stood blocking the way in front of the ruins, his black rhinoceros armor gleaming coldly in the twilight.

"There's a limit to showing off." He brandished his meteor gun, his tone icy. "Trying to show off like that? You'd better lie down and watch—"

The spear suddenly emitted a ghostly blue light, and the ground began to freeze eerily.

Just as the ferocious wolf was about to pounce, Bei Miao charged head-on like a tank!
"boom!"

The shockwave from the collision of the beast's claws and the spear overturned the paving stones within a ten-meter radius.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Bei Miao spun around, and the axe blade of his spear precisely cleaved into the wolf beast's shoulder blade.

He swung his meteor gun with all his might, trying to subdue the wolf beast completely.

"Beimiao! Watch out!" Dongshan's shout came from the ruins.

Bei Miao gripped the gun handle tightly, his brows furrowed beneath his visor.

He hates these kinds of powerful alien beasts the most!

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and the ferocious wolf beast in front of him exploded instantly.

Bei Miao turned his head sharply and saw a dark figure slowly putting away his weapon on the top of the building.

"This is?!"

The visor of the Dark Wind Eagle Armor gleamed blood-red in the setting sun, and Li Yan's voice rang out: "A bunch of trash!"

The Windhawk Crossbow fired another energy arrow, knocking down the wolf beast that was about to get up once again.

The two energy arrows left numerous wounds on the wolf beast's body, even leaving two large, gaping holes in its abdomen from which ominous purple blood flowed.

Bei Miao stared in disbelief at the continuously falling wolf beasts and the familiar yet unfamiliar armor. "This is... the Wind Eagle Armor?"

"No, this isn't the Wind Eagle Armor!"

Bei Miao looked at Li Yan's dark wind eagle armor with some confusion.

He glanced at Li Yan, then turned his gaze to Dong Shan.

Two sets of Wind Eagle Armor?

How can it be?

"Dark, Wind Eagle Armor?" Dong Shan, the man who could move in three seconds, clutched his chest, staring in disbelief at the dark armor on the upper floor.

Last time, he saw the Dark Emperor Armor!

This time, I never expected to see the Dark Wind Eagle Armor again!
……

This scene was not only witnessed by him, but also by Meizhen, who was in the ERP Research Institute, through the monitoring system.

Her pretty face was also filled with disbelief!

"How can it be!"

……

"ended."

"Zen Meditation Seal!"

"Piercing the Wind!"

A sealing sticker appeared
Li Yan leaped from the building several meters high, his Wind Eagle Sword piercing the chest of the evil wolf beast after contacting the fatal incantation.

Amidst a piercing howl, the monster's body exploded completely, transforming into a supernatural sticker!

"Li Yan!"

Bei Miao's voice came through the visor of the Black Rhino Armor, carrying a metallic rage.

He strode forward, slamming his meteor gun heavily onto the ground, instantly causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the cement floor.

"This mutant beast is my target!" He pointed to the mutant beast scroll floating in Li Yan's palm, dark purple energy flowing across the card's surface. "Who gave you permission to interfere?"

The Dark Wind Eagle Armor slowly turned around, its crimson goggles on its visor facing the Black Rhino Armor's goggles.

The night wind stirred up dust between the two, and the burning wreckage in the distance cast their shadows long and short.

"Hey!" Bei Miao suddenly swung his fist at Li Yan's chest, the impact of the armor making a dull thud. "What are you pretending to be so serious for?"

Li Yan looked down at the breastplate that had been hit—there wasn't even a scratch left there.

He suddenly chuckled, his voice processed by the armor, carrying an eerie electronic reverb: "Your monster?"

"Bei Miao! Watch out!" Dong Shan's scream came from behind, "Li Yan has betrayed us! He's already sided with the Shadow Realm!"

Over the communicator, Meizhen's voice was urgent and distorted: "Beimiao, retreat immediately! Li Yan's energy readings are exploding—"

"Oh!"

Li Yan's figure suddenly blurred.

Bei Miao felt as if he had been struck in the abdomen by a meteorite, and he was sent flying backward, crashing through three brick walls before finally stopping.

The meteor gun flew out of his hand and embedded itself deeply in the asphalt road twenty meters away.

"Now," Li Yan flicked his wrist and slowly walked towards the dust-filled ruins, "is it still your monster?"

Bei Miao struggled to get up, a sharp pain shooting through his chest.

He had just raised his arm to defend himself when the Dark Wind Eagle Armor was already there, ghost-like, right in front of him—

"too slow."

A precise uppercut struck his chin, sending the heavy body of the Black Rhino Armor flying off the ground.

Li Yan leaped up and slammed his knee into the opponent's breastplate.

"Crack!"

With a clear cracking sound, Bei Miao crashed back to the ground like a cannonball, blasting a crater five meters in diameter.

"Is this all you've got?" Li Yan stepped on Bei Miao's wrist armor, his faceplate almost touching the other's as he leaned down. "You dare call yourself an Armor Warrior?"

Dongshan, who was watching from a distance, suddenly narrowed his eyes—this was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre!

Li Yan's speed and strength completely overwhelmed the Black Rhino Armor, which was known for its strongest defense!

"Bastard." Bei Miao's mechanical synthesized voice was intermittent. He suddenly raised his other hand and grabbed at Li Yan's mask.

"boring."

Li Yan casually turned his head to avoid it, then grabbed the other's wrist with his other hand, causing the black rhinoceros armor to emit blue smoke.

As Bei Miao let out a painful groan, Li Yan had already kicked him dozens of meters away.

Black Rhino Armor Disintegrates!

"Bei Miao!" Dong Shan tried to stand up, but saw Li Yan suddenly turn to look at him.

Beneath the dark mask, those scarlet visors seemed to pierce through the soul: "Don't rush. You're next."

"Ding! Quest to defeat the alien beast is complete! (1/1)"

"Rewards have been issued!"

The next second, Li Yan felt the dark energy within his body surge and surge, swirling around him like a tide.

"call!"

"This feels amazing!"

He feels like he's bursting with energy!
Dark Eagle Wind King Form!
I really want to test the strength of the new armor, but those two aren't up to par!

A complete waste!
"You guys are really too weak!"

Li Yan stepped on Bei Miao's chest and said bluntly.

He couldn't like Bei Miao, the god of civil war and the creator of the rotten orange theory, at all.

"Li Yan, you..." Bei Miao never expected that Li Yan would betray them.

Or,

Mei Zhen has kept the news under wraps so well that they don't even know about it.

What he didn't know was that Meizhen was still thinking about recruiting Li Yan back into the fold.

"And you, Dongshan."

Li Yan's voice carried a chilling aura, and the metal soles of his Dark Wind Eagle Armor crushed the pebbles on the ground with a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

He teleported to Dongshan's front, leaned slightly forward, and the scarlet goggles on his mask reflected the other's pale face.

"Who told you?" The armored voice sneered, "I joined the Shadow Realm?"

"Did you see it, or did you hear me say it?"

Dongshan's pupils contracted due to the excruciating pain. He tried to sit up, but found that even breathing was accompanied by a tearing pain in his chest.

Cold sweat mixed with blood slid down his forehead, soaking through the already torn bandages.

“Hat.” Li Yan slowly lifted his foot. “It’s not like you just randomly put it on.”

"Bam—!"

This kick, imbued with dark energy, landed heavily on Dongshan's abdomen.

Dongshan's body was thrown out like a rag doll, leaving a trail of blood more than ten meters long on the asphalt road.

His clothes were completely soaked in blood, and bits of bandage mixed with fragments of internal organs spilled from the corners of his mouth.

"Uh cough."

Dongshan's fingers scratched five bloody marks on the road, but he didn't even have the strength to lift his head.

My vision began to blur, and all I could hear was the roar of blood pounding against my eardrums.

He felt warm liquid gushing from his waist—the recently stitched wounds had all burst open, and life was rapidly slipping away with the blood.

Li Yan stood still, shaking off the bloodstains on the soles of his boots.

The moonlight stretched his shadow long, like a death cloak draped over Dongshan.

"To be honest, none of you are any good!"

"They're not even as good as the guys in the Armored Second Team!"
