Chapter 373 The Fiends Have Not Died (1/2)
Bang!
Lin Jian and Hou Xu instantly crashed into each other.
Energy waves were created out of nowhere. Nevertheless, it was suppressed by the both of them as they restrained it to a radius of a few meters around them. The Purple Crow members behind Lin Jian as well as the people in the auction hall behind Hou Xu were not affected.
”Yo, I didn't know that you're good in both ranged attack and close combat despite all your refined ways.” Hou Xu raised his eyebrows, looking at Lin Jian who had taken off his gla.s.ses. His eyes were bloodshot.
”I'm quite surprised though. Your body is kind of…” Lin Jian said with a sly grin on his face.
”Young man, it's not right to judge a book by its cover,” Hou Xu immediately chided.
”You’re the one who started it first,” Lin Jian answered coldly.
”Alright, stop bulls.h.i.+tting me. It's not easy to meet an opponent who's so talented in ranged attack. Let’s find a place to fight!” Hou Xu was excited.
Listening to what Hou Xu said, Lin Jian grinned widely again. ”That's what I was thinking about too.”
Both of them then flew off into the sky.
Soon after they had left, three figures emerged from the sea that was more than 10 kilometers away, heading towards the auction hall. Unbelievably, the three fiends did not die.
Although they were severely injured, having handprints that had yet to be healed on their chests, the aura exuded by the fiends was no weaker than before.
Obviously, Hou Xu had never expected this to happen. Before drawing Lin Jian away, he thought that the fiends would have been killed. Such a disaster was unexpected.
”Young man, you're evil enough. You knew that they’re still alive? That's why you accepted my offer and drew me away!” Hou Xu soon realized that he was tricked.
”They were specially created. Their overall abilities are on par with those who are on immortal-level rank-2. They won't die even if they are attacked at full force by those who are on immortal-level rank-4. You're also an immortal-level rank-4 but your attacks earlier aren’t powerful enough.” Lin Jian smiled coldly.
”Get out of the way!”
Hou Xu did not want to bug Lin Jian anymore. His wizened hands instantly extended to about the length of a foot. His nails transformed into black-golden claws, tearing the s.p.a.ce around Lin Jian apart with his sharp nails and five black fissures appeared.
He was serious about his role. As one of the guardians of the Mystery Organization, he had to protect everyone in the auction hall. If people found out that those who joined the auction died there, perhaps n.o.body would dare to attend the auction anymore. If the organizer failed to protect their customers, of course, they would have no supporters.
”Why are you being so impatient? The die is cast. Let's fight for a few minutes since it takes only two to three minutes for the three fiends to kill everyone in the auction hall.” Having uttered these words, Lin Jian's eyes suddenly turned black. At almost the same time, his body split into two and soon, they were split into four and so on… As soon as he was split into 16 different bodies, he took a step towards Hou Xu.
”It is the ocular skill from blood inheritance… It seems like I've underestimated you.” Hou Xu's face turned solemn.
