Chapter 232: Attack (2/2)

However, the spatial crack was still open, and a vast number of single-footed sparrows were flying through with each passing second. All of a sudden, a strange, reptilian creature wrapped in metal crawled out of the spatial crack and struck the void with tremendous force. Forceful ripples spread through the void until it finally crumbled apart.

An enraged roar came out from deep within the base. “It’s Void Wanderers! Attack and kill them first!”

Void Wanderers were a unique kind of astral beast. They didn’t have very high attacking power, but in exchange, they had the ability to easily tear space apart. This meant that they were involved in every surprise attack of the astral beasts. Most of the time, the astral beasts would initiate their attacks by having Void Wanderers pave the way. However, if the Void Wanderers were killed, then their spatial cracks would automatically close.

There was more than one Void Wanderer attacking the base this time, and spatial cracks had been torn open everywhere. Besides the single-footed sparrows spraying acid rain everywhere, numerous other strange-looking beasts also charged out. They consisted of not only astral beasts, but also other beasts that were being controlled by the astral beasts. Those beasts were the other sides’ cannon fodder.

Trifa and the others no longer had the will to challenge Lu Yin as enemies were running rampant throughout the base now.

Lu Yin never expected that there would be an attack on the base during his very first day on Planet Conan. It was quite a unique feeling. He lifted his palm and struck out into the void with the ninetieth form of the Skybeast Claw, wrapping his hand in battle force as he did so. The claw hurtled through the air and jolted a Void Wanderer so badly that it died.

Trifa nearly died from shock when he saw this. Lu Yin was just a Melder, but he was already able to tear through the void. Someone like that was not a person that Trifa could fight against. What he had seen on the screen was completely different from real life. He had thought that the Astral Combat Tournament was fake; how could so many young people possibly be able to tear the void?! That was ridiculous! It was only at this point that he finally realized that everything that he had seen during the tournament was real. Being able to crush the void was as simple as playing with a toy for Lu Yin.

Not too far away, at the same time that Trifa was staring at Lu Yin in shock, silver rays of light flashed through the void, cutting down the Void Wanderers one after another as they were all cleaved in twain.

Everyone was shocked to see that it was Silver who had acted so decisively. Slicing through the void was a trivial task for him too.

Gildor’s shock was just as apparent as the new recruits’. His boss had allocated some pretty amazing people to his group.

There were a handful of soldiers in the base who were Limiteers, but not many could slice through the void. However, not that many Void Wanderers had accompanied this surprise attack, and with Silver’s rapid slices, nearly half of them were eliminated in no time at all.

At the beginning, the beasts weren’t able to react to Silver’s lightning quick offense, but after they discovered Silver, they immediately focused all their efforts into killing him. Numerous beasts appeared from the void to target Silver. They were all giant beasts with powerful defensive abilities, and even with Silver’s offensive strength, it would be difficult for him to break through their defenses.

Lu Yin grabbed a nearby Void Wanderer and smashed it to the ground. With a swing of his hand, he used a Nine Stacks, Ninefold Shockwave Palm and caused the void to tremble for a hundred meters. Numerous Void Wanderers were sent flying, only to be destroyed by the light beams.

A strange howl was heard from the void as a huge beast that looked similar to a mantis charged out from underground while brandishing nine blades. It slashed the void apart and destroyed quite a few of the base’s weapons.

Trifa and a few others were only a short distance away from the newly emerged beast. It gave them a look of obvious contempt before immediately attacking.

Gildor bellowed in rage and brandished his sword to block the beast’s slash. With a resounding clang, the ground collapsed and shockwaves erupted forth, causing Trifa and the rest to be blasted away. All of them coughed up blood while Gildor had been smashed into the ground, looking incredibly pale. Although Gildor was a peak Melder, he was just an ordinary cultivator. Against beasts that were at the equivalent of the Limiteer realm, it was difficult for him to block their attacks. This was especially true when the beasts were intelligent, like this mantis-looking one.

After seeing that Gildor managed to survive its attack, the beast lifted three of its blades and slashed downwards again. This attack also cracked open the void. This beast had a strength that was comparable to an Astral Combat Academy’s Area Master.

Gildor watched on in despair as the blades fell. There was nothing more that he could do.

Right at this moment, Lu Yin used Flash to appear in front of Gildor. He grabbed one of the blades and broke it with a clang as he simultaneously swung out horizontally with his other fist, breaking the other blades as well. Then, he exerted some strength through his hands, crushing another blade before throwing the shattered shards at the beast.

It retreated incredibly quickly and looked at Lu Yin with fear as star energy whirled around its body. The four blades that had been destroyed grew out from its body once more. Those blades were not external weapons like what humans used, but were rather formed from its own body. “You’re strong, human.” The beast’s mouth did not move, but it nonetheless managed to speak by creating vibrations in the air with star energy.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed, but just as he was about to reply, Gildor quietly spoke up from behind. “It’s trying to stall for more time so that more beasts can exit from the void.

Lu Yin’s eyes grew cold. He had actually forgotten that he was on a battlefield. With this in mind, four-lined battle force covered his body before he instantly appeared in front of the beast and slammed a Nine Stacks, Fifteenfold Shockwave Palm into it.

The beast released a startling cry and lifted its nine blades to slash at Lu Yin. At the same time, the void cracked open once more as numerous beasts as strong as Limiteers emerged and began to attack Lu Yin.

Boom!

The ground trembled as a huge crack separated the base into two halves. The void trembled violently as terrifying shockwaves pulsed out. Lu Yin’s attack had torn numerous beasts to shreds and even caused the void itself to tremble, resulting in the deaths of countless Void Wanderers.

This base did not have any Explorers or strong cultivators. Lu Yin was the strongest person there, and he was sure of it. Just one attack from him had caused everyone’s scalps to go numb. At that moment, he had become the sole focus of the entire battlefield.

Trifa and the others were frozen from shock and couldn’t even make a sound. That attack had been so frightening that if they hadn’t seen it themselves, they would have thought that it had come from an Explorer .

The beasts had infiltrated everywhere within the base. Firearms exploded everywhere as all the soldiers rushed into battle. The entire area degenerated into a chaotic whirlwind of blood and metal.

Even though Lu Yin was powerful and he did everything he could to kill the Void Wanderers, it wasn’t enough to change the battlefield’s state. He couldn’t handle all the beasts in an area by himself. However, the other combatants in the base were at most comparable to an Astral Combat Academy’s Area Master.

The beasts and soldiers intermixed indistinguishably on the battlefield. At this point, even if Lu Yin had powerful battle techniques that could strafe an area, he couldn’t use it without fear of killing fellow soldiers.

At this moment, a warship arrived above the base and aimed its cannons at one of the few areas that had no human soldiers. Soldiers jumped out of the warship to provide aid.

Soon, other warships also appeared.
