Chapter 907: The Princess’s Armor
The fall of Dong Wei was a turning point for Pu Han, as well as for Luo Xiaoxue’s life. It was exceedingly rare for a woman to rise to the position of Emperor in history.
Initially, she felt somewhat insecure, but with Lin Nuo’s acknowledgment, her confidence grew.
Of course, it wasn’t time yet for Luo Xiaoxue to ascend the throne; after all, the city wasn’t stable enough. Even though they had vanquished Dong Wei, there was still that bunch from the Refining Demon Sect causing havoc in the capital.
She couldn’t just sit idly by.
Thus, she needed to personally lead her royal guards into battle to secure a victory. Only then could she amass enough authority to win the people’s trust.
Otherwise, the credit would all go to Knight Lin, which was reasonable but left her feeling unworthy if she did nothing and merely reaped the rewards.
Time to charge out!
Luo Xiaoxue quickly donned her armor, truly resembling a valiant general ready to conquer the battlefield.
Honestly, this was a suit of armor sealed within the Royal Palace; she had custom-ordered it before, but it had remained untouched ever since it was completed.
When she put it on, it fit her perfectly. The armor wasn’t heavy at all; instead, it felt quite light, allowing her to move effortlessly.
She also equipped her sword and then set out with Han Xiao and the others, heading straight to the battlefield.
They moved swiftly, making their way to join the royal guards that had already entered the city.
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
“No need for formalities. Now, follow me and let’s drive these demon disciples out of the city!”
Luo Xiaoxue was filled with excitement and swung her sword fiercely. As she struck, golden light radiated from her, and her armor turned golden as well. Like a golden armored warrior, she looked incredibly cool.
She herself didn’t understand what was happening, but in truth, the power of the Great 威天龙 had fused with her armor, granting her formidable strength, converting defense into attack. Her sword strikes were exceptionally swift.
Her subordinates, unsure of what was going on, simply felt that Luo Xiaoxue was extraordinarily strong, effortlessly banishing Demon Practitioners and dispelling Demon Power in the blink of an eye.
Throughout it all, Luo Xiaoxue never considered this to be her own ability. She believed it was all the credit of Lin Nuo; the golden light shield was undoubtedly due to his Dao Fu, and the golden armor must have stemmed from his symbols as well.
She had begun to get accustomed to accepting his favors, having escaped many tribulations due to his existence.
After this round of fighting, the Refining Demon Sect was dumbfounded; the royal guards were not the ones attacking, yet a woman appeared, wielding such incredible power.
Moreover, her golden light could dispel Demon Power, which was truly astonishing.
Who was this person?
With Luo Xiaoxue’s arrival, along with the help of various benevolent figures in the city, the forces of the Refining Demon Sect were pushed back, preventing them from bringing utter catastrophe to the capital, forcing them to retreat gradually.
The golden light flickering in the city caught Lin Nuo’s attention.
This golden light was stronger than before; even in broad daylight, it was visible. If it were nighttime, wouldn’t it illuminate the entire city?
Could it be Luo Yi?
Lin Nuo thought it over — it should be her, and so he dashed out after briefing Su Kexin and Qin Shili to watch over Xia Hanmo before slipping away.
They obediently followed his instructions and stayed put in the Xia residence, while Lin Nuo zoomed out in a flash.
The capital was indeed a mess; it had once been a flourishing city, now it lay in ruins.
Well, that’s good; war and battle were what really counted.
Following the golden light, he quickly arrived at the scene.
Upon arrival, he was utterly astonished.
That armor…
Lost in thought, Lin Nuo recalled some unpleasant memories.
This memory related to the previous life.
The woman in the armor had made him a wreck, going so far as to hunt him down.
It was her, Luo Xiaoxue, who wore that very armor.
Oh wow, she’s back in action?
Lin Nuo wondered, but it was just the armor that resembled her. Her sword-swinging form still fell short of what she could do.
So, who was it?
Was it Luo Yi?
As he observed, the golden light was truly dazzling, vanquishing the Refining Demon Sect’s Demon Arrays almost instantly.
Fearful.
The Great 威天龙 had reached such a level? Who had empowered her? Was it something she grasped on her own?
Unbelievably chaotic, she was transforming the Great 威天龙’s defense into offense.
If this were against the forces of demon-kind…
It might be another demon master!
Luo Xiaoxue fought valiantly, her armor and the Great 威天龙 technique greatly enhancing her strength. The Demon Practitioners were no match for her.
In no time, her sector regained peace, with the Demon Practitioners driven away, and she was ready to move elsewhere.
At that moment, she sensed something lurking in the shadows observing her. She turned her gaze, the glint in her eyes radiating murderous intent.
Lin Nuo realized she was looking his way and quickly hid, opting not to meet her.
However, Luo Xiaoxue was alert, sensing a powerful presence watching her, so she also didn’t venture elsewhere.
Gotta flush out this stalker!
Luo Xiaoxue swiftly ran towards Lin Nuo’s direction, the blinding golden light illuminating the area, and Lin Nuo felt a strong sense of pressure.
Time to back off.
With his agility and speed, he dashed away, quickly disappearing from her sight.
But the moment he took off, Luo Xiaoxue recognized him.
“Knight Lin! Knight Lin!”
She was so excited, calling out to Lin Nuo, and in her excitement, a strange phenomenon occurred.
A huge golden circle appeared around her, completely enveloping Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo, unsure of what the golden circle was, decided not to act rashly.
He halted, not wanting to move; if something strange happened when he touched the circle, it wouldn’t be good.
Hearing “Knight Lin,” it had to be Luo Yi.
“Where did you get that armor?”
Lin Nuo asked, to which Luo Xiaoxue replied proudly:
“This was custom-made earlier, stored in the Royal Palace. Now I’m using it. What do you think?”
Luo Xiaoxue twirled, showcasing it like a girl trying on a new dress, seeking praise and affirmation from her crush.
“From the royal family? I see, it looks great.”
Lin Nuo chuckled, piecing together what had occurred.
So, this was originally armor for Luo Xiaoxue but was now in Luo Yi’s possession.
Pretty good; even the toolman managed to snag Luo Xiaoxue’s armor, killing her spirit by stealing her armor along with the throne.
Nice one.
It seemed Luo Yi had gained some demon-repelling abilities, but before she could fully develop them, he would need to intervene.
Perhaps she could also attempt demonization.
If she were to demonize, she’d likely become another major figure in the demon faction, posing a threat to Sister Su.
“What’s with this golden circle?”
Lin Nuo scanned the surroundings and inquired.
“Um… I don’t know either. Isn’t it your Dao Fu, Knight Lin?”
Luo Xiaoxue answered, looking bewildered.
Poor child, still unaware of her own capabilities, so intervention was needed immediately.
