"What a tough body!"
Su Fan was also shocked.
A wizard possessing such powerful physical defense.
"Your methods are decent. If it were the me of the past, I might have fallen into your hands. But now, I am a Golden Armored Wizard, a legendary existence! You are no match for me!"
You sneered at Su Fan, dismissing his strength with disdain.
Su Fan frowned.
Golden Armored Wizard? He had never heard of it before.
The Martial Alliance's intelligence on wizards was scarce, primarily due to limited contact with Myanmar. Their understanding of wizards was not extensive, so Su Fan was unaware of the strength of a Golden Armored Wizard.
However, based on what he had seen so far, the opponent's displayed power had reached the Yuheng realm, possibly even exceeding it.
"Insect Devour!"
You uttered a soft command, and the surrounding蛊虫 (gu worms) converged, forming a giant nearly three meters tall.
The 蛊虫 were tightly linked by their limbs, moving with agility, resembling a magnified normal human.
This immediately reminded Su Fan of the 蛊虫 beneath the black robe when he first fought You. He suspected they were disguised in a similar manner back then.
The insect giant rushed towards Su Fan and swung a fist at him.
The massive fist descended from above, aimed at Su Fan's head.
"Horizontal Style, One-Line Flash Slash!"
Su Fan employed a spatial technique, evading the opponent's reach and launching a counterattack.
The sword light flashed across the insect giant's chest, shattering a large number of 蛊虫.
However, more 蛊虫 filled the gaps, and the insect giant remained largely unharmed.
Su Fan's brow furrowed slightly.
This was proving to be troublesome.
The insect giant turned and lunged at Su Fan again, its arm transforming into a sharp blade and slashing directly at him.
Su Fan frowned and retreated rapidly, barely dodging the attack.
While Su Fan could quickly escape using his Instantaneous Movement, he didn't want to simply flee. He wanted to seize this opportunity to eliminate You, a potential threat.
After all, You was a wizard with bizarre techniques. Encountering his true form was a rare chance and not to be missed.
Shadow Entanglement Technique!
After dodging the insect giant's attack, Su Fan immediately activated another skill.
He wanted to see if he could control the insect giant.
But Su Fan had clearly overestimated.
When the shadow touched the insect giant's shadow, it only controlled it for a moment before being broken free. Su Fan could only control a single entity, and the insect giant was not a unified whole, thus making it impossible for Su Fan to control.
What about controlling the mastermind behind it?
Su Fan's gaze shifted to You, standing behind the insect giant.
Perhaps controlling You would cause the insect giant to lose control.
The insect giant continued to slash at Su Fan, but fortunately, its large size made it less agile, allowing Su Fan to dodge with relative ease.
Shadow Entanglement Technique!
Su Fan activated the skill again, this time targeting You.
You seemed to have sensed Su Fan's intention. Seeing the shadow creeping across the ground, he let out a cold laugh.
"Such an obvious intention, do you take me for a fool?"
You slowly retreated, easily evading Su Fan's shadow.
It's over! He's been discovered, and this is going to be difficult.
Su Fan had no choice but to abandon his plan to control You.
Instantaneous Movement!
Su Fan's figure vanished once more.
The insect giant's punch missed, leaving a massive fist print on the ground.
Vertical Style Secret Art! Mountain Splitting Chop!
Su Fan instantly appeared behind You, his long sword raised high, its blade imbued with terrifying power.
You's heart tightened.
Sensing the might of Su Fan's move, he instantly tensed up, and his natal 蛊虫 emerged from his body, shining with nervous energy and hovering protectively above his head.
Su Fan brought his sword down.
With this strike, Su Fan used his full power, hoping to kill the opponent in one blow.
Boom!
A colossal sword energy struck You's head, emitting a deafening roar.
The scene erupted as if an explosion had occurred, leaving the surroundings in disarray.
Lightning and ice-attribute energies raged around, a clear indication that this attack had surpassed the capabilities of the Yuheng realm.
Su Fan held his sword with one hand, its tip planted on the ground, breathing heavily.
Could this strike still not kill You?
Su Fan was uncertain, mainly because he had no frame of reference for the strength of a Golden Armored Wizard.
Su Fan looked solemnly at the center of the explosion. As the dust settled, the first thing he saw was a colossal figure.
The insect giant!
Su Fan's heart jolted.
The insect giant was still alive, which meant You was also alive!
The insect giant knelt in a half-crouching position behind You, its limbs tightly shielding You.
Above You's head, a bright golden beetle glowed with a faint golden light. Its shell now bore minute cracks, and its golden radiance had significantly diminished.
"Impressive! You even managed to injure my natal 蛊虫, cough cough!"
You genuinely praised Su Fan.
However, he himself was not faring well, coughing twice with each sentence, clearly having sustained severe injuries.
Su Fan's heart felt a little lighter.
As long as he could injure the opponent, he still had a chance!
"Cough! Enough, I don't want to waste any more time with you."
You coughed lightly, as if preparing to unleash some ultimate move.
Su Fan stiffened, immediately on high alert.
Under Su Fan's gaze, the insect giant behind You disintegrated. The golden beetles within slowly crawled out, then moved towards You, slipping through the gaps in his golden armor and wriggling beneath it.
"Holy crap!"
Su Fan couldn't help but curse.
This was utterly disgusting!
As more golden beetles burrowed into You's body, he began to swell and contort.
Gradually, You transformed into a muscular, golden demon-like figure nearly three meters tall.
"Is this a wizard?"
Su Fan couldn't help but complain. A wizard? This looked more like a melee tank!
"Su Fan, die!"
You finally finished transforming. His natal 蛊虫 was embedded in his forehead, and his voice had become sharp and hoarse.
Seeing You charge with a punch, Su Fan dared not meet it head-on and rolled away.
You's fist slammed into the ground where Su Fan had been, leaving a deep crater.
The power of that single punch was akin to that of an artillery shell.
Su Fan was horrified.
Although the transformed You's appearance was unappealing, the sheer power was extraordinary.
"Trying to run!"
You snorted coldly, stomping his thick legs on the ground, creating another large pit. He then shot forward instantly.
Boom!
Su Fan could even hear a sonic boom.
What the heck? A sonic boom? He's exceeded the speed of sound!
Su Fan was somewhat aghast.
A speed exceeding the speed of sound indicated the strength of a Heavenly realm martial artist. Could Golden Armored Wizards correspond to Heavenly realm martial artists?
Bang!
Su Fan only had time to glimpse the golden muscular demon figure suddenly appearing before him, and then he felt as if he had been hit by a train, sent flying backward.
