My Divine Diary Chapter 140

As for why Su Hao felt comfortable handing the sniper cannon to Yashan, it wasn’t just about trust in Yashan; it was more about Su Hao’s confidence in himself.

Even with a sniper cannon, it wouldn’t pose any threat to Su Hao.

If one day Yashan did aim the gun at him, he wouldn’t be afraid either.

Without rune-enhanced ammunition, even if a bullet hit Su Hao, it couldn’t breach the defense of his skull. As a ‘Bone Demon,’ Su Hao had inscribed ‘Barrier’ and ‘Sturdiness’ runes on his skull, which were always in an active state. He was practically invulnerable to sudden attacks.

If the bullets were rune-enhanced, Su Hao’s ‘radar’ would immediately sense the impending danger the moment the bullets left the barrel, allowing him to react promptly for defense.

In summary, he was quite secure.

So, no matter who it was or what their relationship with Su Hao was, he wouldn’t hand them a gun capable of killing him. And once he did, it meant that he no longer saw them as a threat.

Su Hao first upgraded Yashan’s runes.

While he was in the middle of designing the sniper cannon, three powerful blood energy fluctuations entered Su Hao’s radar range. They would soon arrive in Temple Forest City.

Su Hao knew this was undoubtedly a team sent by a faction in Linyuan City to collect protection fees. Their presence was prominent, and it seemed they were determined to succeed.

The most powerful blood energy reaction reached the level of an Ancestor, only a step below the former King of Humans. It was likely one of those so-called ‘King’ level mutants. But considering how much stronger Su Hao’s blood energy had become since his encounter with the King of Humans, this ‘King’ level mutant still appeared weak in his presence. However, he couldn’t be sure what kind of strange skills this ‘King’ level mutant might possess.

Additionally, there were two ‘Demon’ level mutants, making it a total of three individuals.

Su Hao turned to Yashan, who was standing nearby, and said, “Yashan, we’ll have to postpone the sniper cannon. Some ‘guests’ are visiting Temple Forest City, just south of town. Go and call ‘Night Demon’ Meng Chuan; he’s currently at the ‘Temple Forest Guild’ base. The three of us will go out to welcome the guests.”

Yashan’s expression turned serious, and he promptly replied, “Understood, Boss Wei!”

Su Hao took a few steps forward, and bone quickly covered his entire body. His figure suddenly grew significantly, his wings extended behind him, and a long bone sword extended from his hand, followed by a dense array of runes gradually forming.

These runes were notably different from his previous ones, appearing more exquisite and robust, a paradoxical fusion that created a unique aesthetic.

This aesthetic could be described as ‘the sense of strength’!

Su Hao leaped into the air, his feet burst forth, and he flew towards the southern part of the city.

He quickly arrived on the outskirts, slowly descending. He positioned himself about a kilometer away from the city, waiting for the arrival of the three guests.

Whether they would be friends or foes would depend on their choice.

If they wanted money, Su Hao would let his sword do the talking.

After a brief moment, Yashan and Meng Chuan appeared behind Su Hao.

Yashan rapidly transformed into a tall ‘Bone Demon,’ while Meng Chuan had grown a bit of fur and transformed slightly into a bat-like creature. He still maintained a somewhat humanoid form.

Su Hao tossed two bone tablets to Meng Chuan and said, “These are ‘Second-Level Barrier’ and ‘Second-Level Lightning’ runes. They’re more than enough to ensure your safety. Be cautious.”

Meng Chuan excitedly received them and nearly knelt down to kowtow to Su Hao, but Yashan pulled him aside and sternly whispered, “Watch your demeanor, be mindful of your image, don’t embarrass yourself.”

Meng Chuan then steadied himself and said, “Yes, Boss Wei, Boss Yashan.”

At the same time, the people they were waiting for appeared.

The leader was a burly man with a face full of beard. He had a smiling face, but his appearance seemed exceptionally ferocious. His loose clothing couldn’t conceal his steel-like muscular contours.

Behind him were a man and a woman. The man had a stern face, narrow eyes that occasionally gleamed with coldness, and the woman appeared young, exceptionally lively, almost floating as she walked.

The stern man suddenly said in a low voice, “Rosa, we’ve spotted them. Mind your demeanor!”

Rosa immediately composed herself and turned into an ice-cold beauty.

After a moment, the bearded muscular man and his two companions stopped in front of Su Hao, and both sides gazed at each other.

The air became heavy, making it difficult to breathe, as the powerful auras from both sides collided, refusing to yield an inch.

Ultimately, Su Hao took the initiative to speak. “Who are you? Name, gender, age, hobbies, occupation, and your origin. State everything, or please leave. We don’t entertain anyone in Temple Forest City who doesn’t cooperate.”

At that moment, a convoy of vehicles was heading towards Temple Forest City, and Rosa, the frosty beauty, regained her composure and pointed towards the approaching group, saying, “Why don’t you intercept them, handsome?”

Su Hao chuckled, “Calling me ‘handsome’ won’t work. I have limited time. If you won’t talk, please leave!”

The bearded muscular man at the front burst into laughter and then said, “You three are the most powerful mutants in the city, right? Two ‘Bone Demons’ and a ‘Night Demon.’”

As he spoke, he quickly transformed, and his body was rapidly covered by a shiny metallic armor, causing him to grow to around four meters tall. He turned into a towering metal giant, exuding an overwhelming presence. He buzzed, “Since you’re looking for death, let me send you on your way!”

With that, the Steel Armor King charged forward suddenly. Despite looking extremely heavy in his metal suit, he moved surprisingly fast. He swiftly approached Su Hao and delivered a punch to Su Hao’s chest.

Su Hao was curious to test the man’s strength, so he didn’t evade the attack but blocked it with his bone sword.

“Clang!”

With a crisp sound, Su Hao was pushed back by the punch. Yashan and Meng Chuan quickly leaped away from the metal giant.

“His strength is decent, but he has the advantage of size, which allowed him to push me back. Judging by the texture of his fist, the armor of his metal-like body is exceptionally sturdy, much tougher than bone armor. However, in the face of ‘Second-Level Sharpness’ and ‘Second-Level Penetration,’ it’s not that different.”

“This must be the ‘Steel Armor King,’ though I’m not sure if he’s the same one Lin En mentioned.”

In the brief exchange, Su Hao swiftly analyzed the differences and strengths of the two sides.

The Steel Armor King, as a fifth-level mutant in the ‘Steel Armor’ lineage, did exert some pressure on Su Hao’s fourth-level abilities due to the genetic gap. Still, this pressure was negligible compared to Su Hao’s tremendous willpower and blood energy.

“Steel Spear!”

The Steel Armor King, in the moment of pushing Su Hao back, pointed his palm toward Su Hao, and a short spear, around one meter long, shot out and arrived in front of Su Hao.

The spearhead was densely covered in reverse hooks, making it a hair-raising sight.

Su Hao raised his bone sword and deflected the short spear with a single motion.

“Clang!”

Following the metallic collision sound, the short spear was broken in half and fell to the side.

The Steel Armor King stared at Su Hao with surprise. “You’re a ‘Bone Demon’ indeed, but how could a bone sword break my steel thorns?”

Su Hao flicked his sword playfully and replied nonchalantly, “You see, your steel thorns are too soft. They’re so soft that they snap with a single strike.”

The Steel Armor King didn’t get angry and began his formal introduction. “Well, be it your mouth or your skills, you seem to have some ability. But before I trample you to death, let me introduce myself. I’m Abi, the commander of the Tian Sha Gang. Today, I’m here to take your life.”

Su Hao didn’t want to beat around the bush and asked directly, “Alright, Abi, the Steel Armor King, state your intentions for coming to Temple Forest City.”

Abi smiled and said, “I like to beat people half to death first and then have a chat with them. So, you three are the strongest mutants in the city, right? Two ‘Bone Demons’ and a ‘Night Demon.’”

As he spoke, he quickly transformed, and his body was rapidly covered by a shiny metallic armor, causing him to grow to around four meters tall. He turned into a towering metal giant, exuding an overwhelming presence. He buzzed, “Since you’re looking for death, let me send you on your way!”

【Steel Armor King】 wasn’t angered and began his formal introduction, “Regardless of your talk or your skills, you seem to have some abilities. But before I squash you to death, let me introduce myself first. I’m Abi, the commander of the Tiansha Gang. I’m here today to take your life.”

Su Hao didn’t want to beat around the bush and directly asked about their intentions: “So, Abi, the Steel Armor King, tell us your purpose for coming to Temple Forest City.”

Abi chuckled, “I like to beat people half to death first and then have a chat with them.”

Su Hao’s gaze turned cold, “Is that so? I’m the opposite; I prefer to beat people to death and then have a chat with their corpses.”
