Just as all of them were feeling immensely pleased, just as their fists all landed solidly on Lin Yi, they were shocked to find that the sensation coming from their fists was not what they expected from hitting a human body.
That’s right, usually when they hit a human, it was a very satisfying feeling.
That cushion of flesh feeling against their fists made it so they didn’t feel any pain at all, especially since their palms had developed calluses over time, and their knuckles similarly had hardened patches, meaning even when they struck bone it wouldn’t cause much pain.
But now it was different; as their angry punches hit Lin Yi, they suddenly felt a profoundly hard sensation.
Simultaneously, there was a muffled sound, followed directly by excruciating pain that attacked their palms.
At the same time, the pain shot up from their fists straight to their heads, and in an instant, their entire arms went numb.
The few who had punched with more force even heard a cracking sound, clearly indicating that the bones in their fists were shattered by that blow.
With just one touch, these five, six individuals were instantly bounced back, clutching their arms as they fell to the ground, rolling in pain.
And the people in front were surprised to find that at this moment, Lin Yi, sitting right there, was clad in an armor of silver with red.
Not only covering his entire body, even his head was fully encased, and obviously, their fists had all landed on the armor.
Looking at this entirely metallic armor, then at their companions writhing on the ground in pain, they couldn’t help but gasp.
And they also felt their own arms seemingly aching a bit.
Of course, their arms were injured only as a sense of transmission.
Watching others get hurt, they naturally felt as if their own hands would ache too.
And at this moment, amidst everyone’s shock, Lin Yi’s armor vanished in an instant.
This left them all dumbfounded once again, staring at the young man before them with incredulous expressions, unable to believe what they had just seen was real.
How could this guy have been wearing armor just now, but in the blink of an eye, it vanished?
What in the world is going on?
Of course, even though Lin Yi’s previous armor looked peculiar and power-packed, it didn’t greatly astound them.
After all, it was essentially some steel that looked menacing but wasn’t excessively bizarre.
However, the speed at which he donned it was utterly shocking.
As generals, they frequently donned armor, but each time took a considerable amount of time, especially when removing it, which was cumbersome.
Never did they imagine armor could be worn so swiftly.
For a moment, they were all dumbstruck, including those on the ground clutching their fists, who were similarly awestruck by Lin Yi’s armor, momentarily forgetting the pain.
"Your punches indeed pack a punch, but you’re far from breaking through my armor. How about it? Anyone else willing to give it a try? I’m fine with all of you coming at once."
In this tense atmosphere, Lin Yi suddenly spoke, his words nearly angering them beyond belief.
Their eyes glared at Lin Yi filled with fury, yet showing a hint of resentment.
Given the immense strength Lin Yi had just showcased.
If he wore that armor, none of them could penetrate his defense.
Mind you, they had all worn armor themselves.
That armor can stop swords, and punches alike, yet when landing on you, it still hurts. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Especially when arrows struck, bruising was inevitable.
But Lin Yi clearly didn’t exhibit this; he appeared unscathed from the punches just now, not even feeling a tinge of pain.
Some more scheming fellows glanced outside, thinking if they brought the crossbows in, could they shoot him dead?
Though his armor looked strange and formidable, from close range, surely even it wasn’t immune to crossbow fire?
No matter how good the armor is, within five steps, it can’t fend off an arrow’s penetration. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Even the generals’ armor can’t resist it.
Moreover, there’s still a large siege crossbow in the military, a lethal weapon.
It’s slow to load and aim, but when used appropriately, it can pin someone directly to the wall.
Let alone a person, even a thick gate can be penetrated.
That’s the power of the siege crossbow.
If they could keep him stationary and discreetly aim, perhaps a shot could succeed, as the bolt’s speed is fast enough that ordinary people couldn’t react in time.
Almost no one could react at close range, nor evade its attack.
Lin Yi naturally noticed these little movements but didn’t bother with them.
Not that he would let them bring the siege crossbow, but simply because as long as Lin Yi was there, no one could leave the room.
Confronted with Lin Yi’s arrogant question, everyone fell silent, and the old general’s face turned dark.
Seeing none responding, Lin Yi smiled slightly and continued speaking.
