Chapter 519: Instant Kill (1/2)

Her arrival was something that nobody expected. She did not join hands with any faction, which meant that she did not have a star essence skin.

Zhanbing Daynight seemed to turn serious as he looked at her in a guarded manner.

Up in the sky, the members of the major powers all had complex expressions on their faces. Without a star essence skin, even the most powerful Explorer would be fated to explode and die. This woman was far too reckless!

News of the battles on Planet Pyrolyte had been sealed off by the various powers. While there had been some videos that leaked out, no one aside from them actually knew what was going on here. The same went for Wendy Yushan. This was the purpose of information. People who had it would gain the upper hand.

Wendy Yushan was powerful, but she did not know what was going on this planet. Appearing out of nowhere was as good as dying.

Wendy Yushan directed her eyes to the ground. The reason why she had been in such a rush to come here was because of Lu Yin, the only person she acknowledged as a member of her family. She didn’t want him to die.

With a bang, the ground cracked, and Lu Yin leaped up as he charged into the sky.

Everybody was shocked. That hadn’t killed him?

Zhanbing Daynight’s pupils shrank. Impossible! I know that all of my attacks landed. He had to have died there! How can this be? Did he actually manage to block all of my attacks?

Lu Yin had no time to bother with anyone else, and he raced over to Wendy Yushan’s side. He pulled out a star essence skin and ordered, “Wear it.”

This skin had belonged to Ze Lin, and Lu Yin was currently incredibly glad that he hadn’t sold it off. Otherwise, Wendy Yushan would die for sure.

She had no idea why she had to wear the thing, but she put it on without any hesitation.

Ze Lin’s star essence skin wasn’t enough to completely protect her, but so long as she did not use too much power, she would be fine for now.

Lu Yin heaved a heavy sigh of relief, but then he glared at her. “How can you be so reckless? Don’t you know that Explorers can’t just enter Planet Pyrolyte as they please? There’s aerosolized pyrolyte everywhere, even in the air! If you breathe it in, you could explode!”

Wendy Yushan stared at Lu Yin while Lu Yin did the same, though he appeared to be absolutely fuming.

Then, Wendy Yushan casually glanced away. “I got it.”

“Don’t say anything except by using star energy to make the air vibrate!” Lu Yin exclaimed.

Wendy Yushan made a sound of acknowledgement and then really stopped talking.

Even Lu Yin himself was shocked. He’d been prepared for her to give him the cold shoulder, but she hadn’t done that and was instead being very obedient. What the hell?

Nobody knew what she was thinking, but ever since Lu Yin had given her the Yu Secret Art, she had decided in her heart that Lu Yin was the only family member she had left in this universe. Thus, he was the only one who was allowed to get mad at her.

She had been at Saint Dios when she heard about how Lu Yin had been threatened by an Enlighter holding the Great Yu Empire hostage, and she had also heard a bit about the battles on Planet Pyrolyte. From these matters, Lu Yin’s place in her heart had grown once again. This was because Lu Yin showed that he truly regarded the Great Yu Empire as his home, and it wasn’t just his home, but also hers as well.

Although Wendy Yushan might appear to be fine even after losing everyone in her Yushan family, that was only because her grief was hidden too deeply. Lu Yin was now the only family that she had left in the universe.

This was also the reason why she had rushed over to Planet Pyrolyte without even considering her own safety. She did not want to lose her family ever again. The universe was much too big, dark, and cold. She needed to preserve the bit of warmth that she still had in her heart.

“What are you doing here?” Lu Yin asked.

Wendy Yushan kept her eye on Zhanbing Daynight, who was in the distance. “It was on the way.”

Lu Yin was speechless. This is the Astral Wilderness. On the way? To where?

He looked at her seriously. Just now, she’d seemed anxious and worried. She had probably come for him. He couldn’t help but feel touched at the thought. From the time he began cultivating until now, how many people had risked their lives for him? How many had even been worried about him? This was kinship.

Wendy Yushan took a step forward. “What should I do?”

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at Zhanbing Daynight with merciless eyes. “Kill him.”

Zhanbing Daynight’s actions made Lu Yin want to kill him. Since the other party had intended to kill him, then he wasn’t going to hold back. So what if this person was from the Daynight clan? Lu Yin was not someone who would let another person kill him just because he was scared of the Daynight clan. Besides, Zhanbing Daynight had nearly succeeded in his task.

Wendy Yushan started to unsheathe her sword, and Zhanbing Daynight’s pupils shrank. He immediately charged up towards outer space. One of them was ranked fifty fifth while the other was ranked eighteenth on the Top 100 Rankings. The gap between them was just too vast. Zhanbing Daynight was not at all confident in being able to block her attacks even with the limitation that she could not use her full strength due to the limitations of her current star essence skin.

With a whoosh, her sword was completely unsheathed, and a cold glint immediately illuminated the entire region. No matter how quick one was, or even if one hid in the void, there was no way to dodge this sword. This was Ten Thousand Swords In One. The style of Myriad Swords Peak was incredibly simple: there was just one attack.

Zhanbing Daynight’s body hung in the sky, completely still. He seemed to be dazed, and his eyes eventually glazed over. His weapons then disappeared one by one as his entire body smashed onto the ground. He was completely dead.

With just one attack, Wendy had killed Zhanbing Daynight. This was her strength. This was the strength of someone in the top twenty.

Everybody was frozen in place. Zhanbing Daynight was the first powerhouse in the Top 100 Rankings to have died here. The battles on Planet Pyrolyte were so vicious that even somebody with such an impressive level of strength wasn’t guaranteed to survive.

Above the planet, Nightqueen Qiuyu was furious, but there was nothing that she could do about this. She no longer had anything that she could use to threaten Wendy Yushan as Frostwave Weave was now under the Sea King Dome’s protection. Unless the Daynight clan declared war on the Sea King, their clan elders would not intervene. This matter could only be handled by those in the younger generation. However, given Wendy Yushan’s strength, how many people in the Daynight clan were qualified to be her opponents? And what’s more, who could actually kill her?

Wendy Yushan’s arrival had instantly made her the strongest being on Planet Pyrolyte for the moment. She was ranked in the top twenty of the Top 100 Rankings, and that was a height that only a few Explorers could reach. Unless Cruisers were able to descend onto the planet, Wendy would stand firmly at the peak for quite some time.

In that battle just now, there had been one thing that even the major powers were unable to understand. How had Lu Yin managed to block all of Zhanbing Daynight’s attacks without suffering from any injuries? It was very strange.

However, Wendy Yushan’s appearance had been too much of a surprise, so no one even had a chance to mention the matter of Lu Yin’s survival. Still, it wasn’t like they had completely forgotten about the matter either.

Nightqueen Yanqing and the rest immediately fled without even grabbing Zhanbing Daynight’s corpse.

Lu Yin saw what they were doing, but after thinking it over, he ultimately decided against giving chase. There was no point in offending that clan any more than he already had, unless he was planning on actually joining the Sea King’s Dome.
