Chapter 784: Against the Greenskins

Sun Xiaowu\'s [Adamantine Aegis] activated instinctively, and a layer of golden runes covered his skin. He had trained the technique to such an extent that it would automatically activate during times of danger.

The golden runes blocked the arrow, and Sun Xiaowu broke its shaft with a hard tug. He raised his head and found the greenskin archer who had shot the arrow atop a wall.

The archer was holding a steel bow over two meters tall. He had sharp, piercing eyes and was the tallest greenskin Sun Xiaowu had seen, at three meters and counting in height. There was a long scar across his face.

Upon seeing this hulking greenskin, Sun Xiaowu sucked in a deep breath. His skin was such a dark shade of green that it was almost black.

The greenskin archer\'s aura was no trifling matter, and Sun Xiaowu could sense it distinctly even from afar. He would have believed that this greenskin were the king of the realm, but in fact, he wasn\'t.

Upon witnessing the greenskin archer, the greenskins\' flagging morale instantly recovered.

"Our marshal\'s here!"

"Our marshal can\'t be defeated!"

"As long as our marshal is here, we greenskins won\'t ever lose!"

The greenskins roared, their morale soaring—and this sudden change was all due to the presence of one greenskin on the battlefield.

"So this is the greenskin marshal..." He was already about the darkest possible shade of green, so Sun Xiaowu wondered just how much darker the king of the greenskins would be. And if the greenskin marshal\'s aura was this intense, how much stronger was the greenskin king?

Sun Xiaowu curled his finger at the marshal, motioning for him to attack.

The greenskin marshal stored his bow and instead took out a double-headed battleaxe three meters long. The blade itself took up a meter. This was a weapon made for slaughter.

The greenskin marshal leapt high into the air. His overwhelming strength made him rise like a cannon. He reached the apex of his jump before falling like a meteor, making use of his downward momentum to swing his axe straight at Sun Xiaowu.

This time, however, Sun Xiaowu didn\'t take the clash head-on.

"[Blinding Flash: Hundredfold Echo]!" He split into over a hundred clones, each one simultaneously real and illusory.

Even the greenskin marshal wouldn\'t be able to identify which one was the true Sun Xiaowu immediately. As his axe landed, at least fifty or sixty of Sun Xiaowu\'s clones were sent flying into the air, where they dissipated.

The axe struck the ground with all its downward momentum, leaving furrows in the ground so deep no light struck their depths. The remaining clones of Sun Xiaowu all exploded, but the marshal dissipated the energy from the explosion with a sweep of his axe.

"[Blinding Flash: Thousandfold Echo]!" The next moment, Sun Xiaowu generated a thousand clones of himself.

"[Golden Divide]!" The thousand clones all used [Golden Divide] simultaneously, coloring the sky in gold.

The marshal swept his axe in an arc, producing blades of wind that shot out toward Sun Xiaowu\'s clones.

"[Goldenscale Palm]!" The remaining clones all clenched their fists. Their arms glowed with resplendent light, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over their skin. The golden radiance lit up the battlefield, as though a golden sun was rising out of its midst.

An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu\'s clones, and they all began to radiate frightening shockwaves of energy.

The greenskin marshal, waving his axe, destroyed all these clones without allowing them to reach him. In front of overwhelming strength, a numerical advantage was meaningless.

"[Goldenscale Palm: Split]!" A shout came from above his head. One of the Sun Xiaowus had, at some point, leapt up from behind the marshal and was quickly approaching with a golden fist.

Sun Xiaowu\'s palms brimmed with golden light as a dense layer of golden scales covered his skin. His aura suddenly shifted, and his right arm glowed with resplendent light. An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu\'s body,

Sun Xiaowu punched with all his might, generating a dominating wave of genetic energy.

The marshal waved his axe and smashed it against Sun Xiaowu\'s fist, releasing a wave of golden light throughout the battlefield. The ground caved in, and cracks appeared on the marshal\'s axe. Little by little, however, the marshal\'s overwhelming strength began to pressure Sun Xiaowu and force him back.

Just then, the ground behind the marshal burst open as another Sun Xiaowu appeared from underneath the ground, an outstretched fist glowing golden and plated with scales.

The marshal was confounded.

A frightening aura came from beyond the greenskins\' wall, as though the entire world were going against Sun Xiaowu. Even so, Sun Xiaowu\'s fist punched forward into the marshal\'s back.

"[Goldenscale Palm: Pierce]!" Golden light shot out of Sun Xiaowu\'s fist and burst from the marshal\'s chest.

The marshal, who had been prepared for a frontal assault, was caught off-guard by the sneak attack from the back.

From the front, Sun Xiaowu batted away the marshal\'s axe and punched forward with his other fist, radiating with golden light. His arm suddenly bulked up, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin.

The moment before the fist was about to land, however, an axe shot toward him from the void. Sun Xiaowu was forced to give up on his blow and switch to channeling [Adamantine Aegis],

A layer of golden runes appeared over Sun Xiaowu\'s skin, shining brightly like a brand. At the same time, Sun Xiaowu hurriedly stepped back as the marshal\'s body was split apart by the axe.

A greenskin stepped out from the void. As he appeared, the skies suddenly turned a purple hue, as if welcoming the greenskin and heralding his appearance...
