Chapter 120: Spirit Armor Rune

"Run quickly! I'll hold them off!" Xie Wufeng shouted urgently, his body radiating sword qi as he charged toward the group of students and iron men attacking them.

"Big Brother Xie..." Qin Yun shouted.

"Don't waste time, run quickly and inform Dean Bai!" Xie Wufeng yelled sternly. "Don't worry about me; if you don't leave now, none of us will make it!"

Murong Daren was cursing the people from the Blue Spirit Star Palace. They had come to rescue someone, but now they were under attack.

Xie Wufeng's strength was formidable, managing to block the successive waves of inner energy coming from a distance!

"We should go, Big Brother Xie has a plan!" Huo Zhong shouted.

Qin Yun gritted his teeth, having no choice but to trust in Xie Wufeng's abilities!

He silently vowed that if anything happened to Xie Wufeng, he would never forgive these beasts.

The three of them fled the scene swiftly, splitting into three directions.

Behind each of them, an iron man pursued closely.

They needed to return to the Three Martial Academy as soon as possible to inform Dean Bai!

...

Qin Yun ran alone through the deep forest of the Cloud Dragon Mountains, with the iron man chasing him closely...

"Damn iron man, watch me destroy you! If I can take you down, I can disassemble and study you properly!"

He had faced iron men many times before, well aware of their power. As a Runes Master, he also wanted to forge one himself.

However, the blueprints for iron men were extremely rare, and the major forces that possessed them would not leak the information.

"Last time I fought an iron man, I didn't use my hammer, so I couldn't break through its defenses. If I use the Giant Spirit King Hammer, I should be able to defeat it!"

Qin Yun took out the Giant Spirit King Hammer and, while running, suddenly leaped up, flipping in mid-air. As he descended toward the iron man, he raised his hammer high.

Seeing someone attack from above, the iron man immediately launched its arm like an arrow toward the falling Qin Yun.

Qin Yun struck the iron man's arm away with his hammer, channeling the Adamantine Vibration inner energy, and executed the Six Forging Dragon Techniques, smashing the hammer onto the iron man's body!

Boom, boom, boom, boom—

Thunderclap, Roar, Flowing Light, Mountain Collapse, Falling Star!

With just five strikes, he left numerous dented hammer marks on the iron man's body!

The iron man's head was flattened, and the trees within twenty to thirty meters around were shattered by the shockwave, with a thick layer of soil being blown away!

"Let's try the sixth technique, Heaven Falls!" Qin Yun gripped the hammer with both hands and struck the iron man, which had just stood up, the roaring vibration sounding like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking!

Boom!

The Giant Spirit King Hammer landed on the iron man, sending out a shower of sparks, the thunderous sound like a giant's roar, shaking the heavens and the earth, incredibly fierce.

The iron man's body was severely deformed, sinking into the ground.

"Finally got rid of this fool!" Qin Yun took several deep breaths, then placed his hand on the iron man, infusing it with his powerful mental energy to probe its interior.

"There's a thread of consciousness! It must be this thread controlling the iron man." Qin Yun smiled coldly, using his primordial spirit to erase the thread.

The twitching iron man suddenly stopped moving.

He picked up the iron man's arms and head, storing them in his spatial item, then continued his journey back to the Three Martial Academy.

Qin Yun had fought iron men countless times and knew them inside and out.

Thus, when using his hammer against an iron man, he could execute the Six Forging Dragon Techniques smoothly, striking the iron man's vital points.

"The iron man must be very expensive, and those fools just gave it to me for free!" Qin Yun used the Fire Cloud Step, running through the air like flowing clouds.

...

Qin Yun didn't know how long he had been running when he finally saw the valley surrounded by huge mountains!

These days, Dean Bai had been waiting patiently in the square at the center of the valley for those who had gone out to return.

Suddenly, he saw a figure appear in the sky, and upon closer inspection, it was Qin Yun.

Seeing Dean Bai in the sky, Qin Yun quickly dove down.

While still in mid-air, he shouted, "Dean Bai, go save Big Brother Xie, he's in danger!"

"What happened?" Dean Bai could see how anxious Qin Yun was.

Qin Yun quickly recounted the events to Dean Bai in brief!

After listening, Dean Bai's face turned furious, and he immediately took to the air, flying in the direction Qin Yun had indicated.

Dean Bai's speed was very fast, and Qin Yun couldn't keep up, so he could only stay temporarily at the Three Martial Academy, waiting for Huo Zhong and Murong Daren to return.

Both of them were being pursued by iron men, but since they were familiar with the iron men, Qin Yun wasn't too worried.

"These guys from the Blue Spirit Star Palace are truly lawless, what do they think we are?" Qin Yun returned to the stone house, still seething with anger.

Especially thinking about the middle-aged teacher's expression, who had no grudge against them, yet wanted to cut off their arms to transplant them onto the Blue Spirit disciples!

"I need to forge powerful runes!"

Qin Yun suddenly remembered that he could refine middle-grade spirit talismans, or even high-grade ones!

A sixth-rank beast hide could be used to refine a middle-grade spirit talisman.

However, he felt that a middle-grade spirit talisman was not powerful enough, as it would not be able to deal with a martial artist at the Seventh Level of the Martial Body.

"Bone talismans, armor talismans... spirit talismans refined from beast bones and armor. The black dragon we killed had many scales and bones, which should be sufficient for me to refine."

He took out a piece of black dragon scale, which was as large as a washbasin and quite thick, containing strong energy within.

"It's too big, I need to make it smaller!"

Qin Yun took out a furnace, heated the scale until it softened, then folded and hammered it several times, refining it to the size of a normal talisman paper before starting to engrave the spirit patterns.

"Engraving dual spirit patterns makes it a middle-grade spirit pattern!" After taking out his engraving knife, Qin Yun thought through the process in his mind and began to carve.

He had refined a few storage spirit tools before, and the difficulty of engraving patterns then was even greater, but it never stumped him.

Now, engraving two types of spirit patterns on the scale was a breeze.

In just one hour, he completed a middle-grade spirit talisman.

Since the talisman was refined from a scale, it could be infused with internal energy!

"If I infuse it with internal energy, it will definitely be stronger." Qin Yun held the beast armor spirit talisman tightly and poured his Vajra internal energy into it, spending half an hour.

"Can this spirit talisman in my hand match a high-grade paper talisman? Even a high-grade spirit talisman can't severely injure a Seventh Level Martial Body!" He remembered that the previous Lin Steel Tiger was only critically injured by Cui Hui using an excellent-grade lightning talisman.

However, he believed that human defenses were not as strong as those of the Lin Steel Tiger. If faced with his middle-grade spirit armor talisman, even if it didn't cause severe injuries, it would certainly have a significant impact.

Huo Zhong and Murong Daren had not returned yet, so he continued to refine middle-grade beast armor spirit talismans.

A day passed, and he had refined a total of ten middle-grade spirit armor talismans.

"Brother Yun, Brother Yun!" As soon as Murong Daren returned, he shouted loudly.

Upon hearing his voice, Qin Yun hurried out and saw Murong Daren and Huo Zhong returning together.

"Brother Yun, you're safe... Did you inform Dean Bai?" Murong Daren relaxed.

Qin Yun sat down in a chair, furrowing his brow with worry, and said, "As soon as I got back, I told him what happened. After listening, he flew off in a rage; I don't know how Leader Xie is doing now."

"Don't worry, Leader Xie is very powerful. He has the light-pattern equipment you refined, so he'll be fine!" Huo Zhong said, "In the past, when we encountered danger, he often told us to run first."
