Chapter 65: An Enemy That Cannot Be Defeated (Fourth Update)
There were indeed no weapons near the Battle Armor Spirit, but a warhammer was placed far away beside the throne.
This warhammer was about two meters long, its head hexagonal and as thick as a bucket. The entire hammer was icy blue, with wisps of cold air drifting from it.
From the aura of the Battle Armor Spirit, it was clear that this warhammer was not its weapon; the auras of the two were vastly different.
The Battle Armor Spirit gave off a feeling of sharpness and swiftness, while the warhammer exuded a sense of massiveness and icy coldness.
The circular clearing was deathly silent. The longsword wielders lay sleeping on the stone platforms. Though they were not as strong as Longsword Wielder: Void, they were by no means to be underestimated. 'Void' was an elite among them, which indicated the strength of these longsword wielders. If they all summoned their Death Spirit Horses and charged together, Su Xiao would definitely be unable to stop them.
Even just these 30 longsword wielders were difficult for Su Xiao to handle, let alone the Battle Armor Spirit sitting on the stone throne. If he had to deal with both the longsword wielders and the Battle Armor Spirit at the same time, it would be suicide.
Su Xiao slowly stepped back. When he reached a safe distance, he took out the Apostle's Eye. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

If the judgment fails, it will cause 2000 points of damage + organ shattering + internal bleeding + bone shattering + fist force penetration and other effects.
...
Seeing the data of the Battle Armor Spirit, Su Xiao understood that the Undead Sage's earlier words—'Longsword Wielder: Void and Shock Angel: Ming are just gatekeepers'—were not an exaggeration.
For the Battle Armor Spirit, Longsword Wielder: Void could be killed in just a few punches. This guy's strength was no weaker than Dunk Nick.
From the current situation, if it came to a head-on clash, it was basically impossible for Su Xiao to obtain the [Extinction Stone] from the Battle Armor Spirit.
Su Xiao's gaze swept across the clearing, observing whether the place was sturdy enough and if there was a possibility of collapse. He certainly didn't hope it would collapse and crush the Battle Armor Spirit to death—that was wishful thinking.
Before entering the Shia Temple, Su Xiao had opened several treasure chests and obtained some very useful items. Among them, [Elite Undead Summoning Certificate (Legendary)] and [Hidden Power (Gold)] were the most suitable for use here.
But from the current situation, [Elite Undead Summoning Certificate (Legendary)] would likely be unnecessary. Even if he summoned three Elite Undead, Su Xiao couldn't rely on them to fight the Battle Armor Spirit plus 30 longsword wielders.
Su Xiao took out [Hidden Power (Gold)] from his storage space. This item was a ball of black mist.
[Hidden Power] gradually dispersed, enveloping Su Xiao, and he successfully merged into the surrounding environment.
Bubu Wang was already in this state. After Su Xiao merged into the environment, he found that his surroundings had changed. He couldn't quite describe exactly what was different.
Hidden Power could last for 600 seconds. If things went smoothly, Su Xiao wouldn't need that long.
While merging into the environment, Su Xiao notified Amu through the adventure group channel to come immediately. As for the naive princess Alisha, he told her to take shelter in a safe place first.
A sphere the size of an apple appeared in Su Xiao's hand. It was a fiery red gelatinous substance—the Sun God: Apollo.
In a direct confrontation, Su Xiao was indeed no match for the Battle Armor Spirit plus 30 longsword wielders, so he planned to use Apollo to blow them up. Whether it would shatter the [Extinction Stone] was a matter of luck. Rather than walking to his death, Su Xiao preferred to take a risky gamble.
Now that Su Xiao was merged into the surrounding environment, activating Apollo didn't count as attacking an enemy, so it was highly likely he wouldn't break out of the merged state.
Su Xiao activated the Apollo in his hand, and a scorching heat came from his palm.
The moment Apollo was activated, the Battle Armor Spirit sitting on the throne suddenly opened its eyes. It stood up with a whoosh.
Boom.
A sonic boom rang out as the Battle Armor Spirit appeared twenty meters away. The armor plates on its body trembled—this was a warning of danger approaching.
The Battle Armor Spirit's ghastly green pupils contracted. Its gaze swept around. The sense of crisis was indeed present, but it couldn't pinpoint where it came from.
Apollo took 30 seconds from activation to explosion. Su Xiao planned to throw it out 29 seconds after activating it. Leaving only 1 second was risky, but with his strength, he could throw Apollo a great distance in just 1 second. If too much time remained, the Battle Armor Spirit might throw Apollo back. Don't think this was absurd—given the Battle Armor Spirit's strength, if the detonation time was too long, this situation could easily occur.
While activating Apollo, Su Xiao had already signaled Bubu Wang to retreat. Apollo's explosion range was 1000 meters, and the circular clearing had a diameter of about 400 meters. If Apollo exploded inside, the Sunfire would definitely surge into this stone corridor.
Therefore, after throwing Apollo, Su Xiao would immediately rush backward to avoid being caught in the Sunfire.
The Battle Armor Spirit was alarmed by the terrifying sense of crisis emanating from Apollo. It occasionally disappeared and reappeared, searching for the source of the danger.
Since Su Xiao was merged with the environment, the Battle Armor Spirit couldn't pinpoint Apollo's location. However, the sense of crisis from Apollo was too strong; this fluctuation couldn't be completely concealed, only the location of Apollo could be hidden.
The Battle Armor Spirit darted around the clearing like an enraged tiger. Its eyes held anger and anxiety, but no fear—it simply didn't know what fear was.
The Battle Armor Spirit stomped its foot on the ground.
"Maga (unknown language)."
A neat clatter of armor sounded. Over 30 longsword wielders awakened from the stomp. They picked up their glaives beside them, quickly rushed to the front of the Battle Armor Spirit, and knelt in three orderly rows.
