Armor: I support Meizhen, my emperor is doing evil.

The light faded away, and a figure stood there quietly.

It was also a set of Xingtian armor, but its shape was completely different from the one on Li Haotian!

The overall tone is deeper, as if it has experienced countless wars, and the main red color is integrated with more majestic golden lines.

Covering the chest, shoulder armor and legs of the armor like dragon scales.

The shape of the helmet is also more angular, and the red eyepieces at the eyes are as deep as the abyss, as if containing the stars in the universe.

The aura emanating from the entire set of armor is no longer just about strength.

It is also a kind of domineering aura of a king who has been through many battles and controls everything!

God of War Xingtian!

The upgraded form of Xingtian Armor!

Li Haotian stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar armor that suddenly appeared, and his heart was filled with shock.

He could clearly feel that the energy contained in the opponent's armor was like a vast ocean.

The power that he had just mobilized with all his strength was as small as a stream in front of this energy.

"This...this is..."

Li Haotian murmured to himself, shocked beyond words.

The armor known as the God of War Xingtian ignored Li Haotian's shock.

His gaze, or rather, the deep eyepiece, fell on Bakuru, who was struggling to survive in the ruins.

He didn't even move his feet, but slowly raised his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and pointed his palm at the Nether Demon.

An invisible suction force emanated from the palm of his hand.

The black evil energy that was originally scattered in the air and remained in Bakuru's body seemed to be summoned by some kind of compulsion and gathered uncontrollably towards the palm of the God of War Xingtian!

"No... Impossible..."

Bakuru let out a weak and terrified roar. He could feel that his original power was being forcibly stripped away!

The God of War Xingtian clenched his hands slightly.

The condensed black demonic energy was instantly compressed into a tiny black dot, and then a soft and holy golden light burst out from the palm of his hand.

"Fire Punishment Wind and Cloud Palm!"

A low and majestic voice sounded, different from Li Haotian's electronically processed voice.

This voice was clearer and carried an unquestionable sense of command.

The golden light surged towards the black spot like a tide, completely enveloping and purifying it.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a gentle sound like a breeze.

When the golden light faded, the black spot representing the origin of Bakuru had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Bakuru, who was lying in the ruins, shook violently several times.

His huge body seemed to have lost its support and collapsed completely, and the shell on his body quickly turned gray and petrified.

Eventually it turned into a pile of lifeless powder and dissipated in the wind.

[Ding, the host kills the Nether Demon, random five-element bloodline concentration +1%! ]

[Ding, host's energy strength +1%! Current: 1250%!]

The seal... is completed?

Li Haotian looked at the trivial scene in front of him and could hardly believe his eyes.

The Netherworld Demon that I defeated at great risk.

The other party didn't even use a weapon, but just raised his hand to completely seal and purify it?

Is this... the method of sealing?

This is... the more powerful Xingtian armor?

A strong sense of frustration and powerlessness surged in my heart, but more than that, there was an indescribable awe and curiosity.

Who is this person?

A golden-red light flashed, and the armor of the God of War Xingtian disintegrated and disappeared like flowing water, revealing the person inside.

He was a young man who looked about the same age as him, with a handsome face and calm and deep eyes, as if the powerful move just now had nothing to do with him.

He was wearing simple casual clothes and standing there, he had a calm and relaxed demeanor.

It was Su Chen.

Almost at the same time, Li Haotian also moved his mind and took off the Xingtian armor on his body.

After turning back into an ordinary person, he looked at Su Chen in front of him with an extremely complicated expression.

Shock, confusion, unwillingness, and an imperceptible hint of... gratitude?

"You...why are you here?"

Li Haotian asked in a somewhat dry voice, his heart full of questions.

"Could it be... Could it be that you already knew that I would summon the Xingtian Armor?"

This question lingered in his mind.

The timing of the opponent's appearance was too coincidental. It was just when he defeated Bakuru but was unable to seal him, and he also summoned the upgraded form of Xingtian Armor.

All this points to one possibility:

The other party had been observing secretly and might even have anticipated that he would summon the armor.

Su Chen looked at Li Haotian's complicated expression, shook his head gently, and spoke in a calm tone.

"It's not that I knew it in advance. I just happened to pass by and sensed the breath of the Nether Demon."

He paused, his eyes seeming to penetrate Li Haotian's heart.

"Besides, dealing with the Nether Demon is my responsibility."

responsibility……

These two words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Haotian's heart hard.

He was stunned and couldn't help but think of himself.

The painful scene of his family being tormented by the Netherworld Demon resurfaced.

The heart-wrenching despair made him pour all his resentment onto the armor that brought him strength and the summoning device that gave him power.

He hated it, hated his identity as the armor summoner, and believed that this was what brought him misfortune.

But...is there really a necessary causal relationship?

Power itself is innocent, isn't it?

It is the Nether Demon that brings disaster, and armor is a weapon used to fight against disaster.

Have I been avoiding and abhorring the wrong person all this time?

The "responsibility" that Su Chen mentioned was like a ray of light, dimly illuminating the corner that he had been deliberately avoiding.

But he still felt confused. How could the knot in his heart that had been knotted for many years be untied with just a few words?

Seeing Li Haotian lost in thought and confusion, Su Chen didn't say much.

Some things need to be figured out by yourself.

He just shook his head again, as if he didn't want to continue the topic, and turned around to leave the messy battlefield.

"and many more!"

Seeing this, Li Haotian subconsciously called out to him.

He handed the heavy Xingtian summoning device to Su Chen.

"This...Summoning Device, I'll return it to you."

Since the other party is also the summoner of Xingtian Armor, and is stronger than himself, he knows better how to use this power.

It even has an upgraded form.

Maybe I really don't deserve it.

Su Chen did not stop, nor did he even look back, but left behind a resounding sentence:

"This is yours, not mine!"

The voice was not loud, but it reached Li Haotian's ears clearly, with an unquestionable certainty.

Yours... not mine?

Li Haotian's hand holding the summoner froze in mid-air, staring blankly at Su Chen's back as he walked away.

These words were like a key that suddenly pried open a solid barrier somewhere in his heart.

Yes, this summoner chose him.

Whether he accepts it or not, this power and this responsibility have already fallen on his shoulders.

Escaping will not change the facts.

Su Chen's calm and powerful figure, the simple words "responsibility", and the last words "this is yours" kept echoing in his mind...

An unprecedented impulse grew and spread in his heart.

He didn't want to be confused anymore.

He didn't want the tragedy to happen again.

He wants to... become stronger!

After a long time, Li Haotian took a deep breath, and the confusion in his eyes was gradually replaced by determination.

He held the summoner tightly in his hand, as if he was holding his own destiny.

He no longer hesitated, took a step forward, and quickly chased in the direction Su Chen left.

"Su Chen! Wait for me!"

Li Haotian caught up with Su Chen who was about to disappear around the corner. His tone was a little hurried, but more determined.

"I...I think..."

Su Chen stopped and turned around with a faint smile on his face, as if he had already expected that he would catch up.

"what you want to say?"

Li Haotian looked into Su Chen's calm eyes, mustered up his courage, and said solemnly:

"I want... to join you! I want to fight with you, learn how to use this power, take on this responsibility!"

He knew that Su Chen had companions.

But he believed that a strong and responsible person like Su Chen would never fight alone.

He longed to join in and no longer struggle alone in pain.

The smile on Su Chen's face widened a little, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Yeah! I've thought it through!"

Li Haotian nodded vigorously, his eyes burning.

"I don't want to run away anymore!"

⑧①The entanglement of feathers and the beginning of the blame

"very good."

Su Chen extended his hand with a gentle smile.

"Welcome!"

Looking at Su Chen's outstretched hand, Li Haotian felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He shook it tightly, feeling the warmth and strength from the other's palm, as if he had found his long-lost belonging.
