Chapter 524: Lu Yin’s Hidden Trump Cards (1/2)

Nightqueen Qiuyu was furious, as the Daynight clan had gone to great lengths to drag Nightking Gu out of cultivation, but he was still not powerful enough to seize control of the mountain range. Helpless, she stepped out of the Daynight spacecraft and appeared within the Sword Sect’s vessel.

After a long while, Lu Yin and Wendy Yushan were both panting heavily as they stared vigilantly at Nightking Gu. He was not in the same condition as the beginning of the fight either, as he had wounds all over his body, and they were all rather deep. Unfortunately, none of them were fatal, as even if the sword pierced his body, it was not enough to hinder him. He was a real freak.

“Again! We can hold out until he dies,” Lu Yin barked. With Wendy Yushan’s innate gift, he was perfectly healthy, not to mention the fact that Wendy Yushan was being defended by Lu Yin and his Fatesand, which gave her opportunities to heal herself as well. Thus, neither of them had any injuries. Compared to Nightking Gu, the two of them were just tired.

Under such circumstances, Lu Yin was fully confident of stalling Nightking Gu until he died.

“Seventh Bro, charge, go for a mutual exchange!” the Ghost Monkey shrieked, as he was feeling strangely hot-blooded. Defeating the expert ranked fifteenth was just too enticing of a prospect. Although Lu Yin could not rely on this battle to enter the top twenty, he would at least firmly enter the top sixty.

Lu Yin was also excited. “We’ll behead him today!”

Wendy Yushan raised her sword and was about to attack, but then they heard a whoosh as sword qi swept over towards them from a distance. It was not aimed at Nightking Gu, but rather at Lu Yin and Wendy Yushan. The two hurriedly retreated as the sword qi attack had nearly succeeded in taking them by surprise. They looked over to see that a figure with a long sword had appeared. The blue, seven-lined battle force shrouding the figure was astounding. Long Yun had returned.

The appearance of Long Yun caused the expressions on Wendy Yushan and Lu Yin’s faces to change drastically. Nightking Gu alone had pushed them to the point of exhaustion while trying to deal with him, and if Long Yun joined the fray now, then they might not be able to last even with the defense of Lu Yin’s Fatesand. The Fatesand was too small, so it could not protect them on every side.

Long Yun coming here meant that they had failed to protect this mountain range, as even a fool could see that Long Yun had come here to help Nightking Gu. The Daynight clan and Sword Sect had finally united.

Over on top of the mountain range, Northgate Lie sighed. In the end, they would need to hand over the mountain range. Fortunately, they had mined a considerable amount of pyrolyte, so even if they handed most of it over to the Sea King's Dome, the remainder would still be enough for him to face his family with pride.

Above the planet, Nightqueen Qiuyu’s face was ugly. If at all possible, she would rather not split the profits with the Sword Sect, but just Nightking Gu alone had not been enough to seize the area. Thus, they had been forced to find another ally. Long Yun was way weaker than Nightking Gu, but he could still qualify as an ally.

Everyone had assumed that the matter was settled. No matter how heaven-defying Lu Yin’s powers were, he should not be able to withstand the alliance of two super experts.

Lu Yin clenched his fists, as victory had been inches away, but the other side had made a comeback in a single move. This sort of loss was depressing, as those great powers from the Innerverse were circling about him like pythons, slowly suffocating him to death. And now, they were able to team up however they wished and toy with him as if he were a nobody. What meaning was there in his battles up to this moment? They had simply dispatched two experts and easily crushed him.

Although the Sea King's Dome had plotted against him, he had persisted up to this moment, even against the major powers. Being suppressed in this fashion made him feel like he was being choked, and he even felt like he was being driven crazy.

Lu Yin could not take it anymore, as what did the various great powers think they were? A casual decision from them was enough to turn all of his hard work into trash. He did not want to be a grieving nobody who could be threatened at every turn. Wendy Yushan’s pale and weary face reminded him of the helpless Great Yu Empire, which could similarly be easily toyed with. He wanted to resist these forces, even though he knew that it was not wise. The Sea King's Dome would not blame him if he retreated in this situation, but he did not want to let others force him into making a decision. He wanted to resist, even if just for this one time.

Wendy Yushan looked at Lu Yin with worry, as she could sense his unwillingness, as his body was literally trembling with fury. “You don’t want to give up?”

Lu Yin did not reply, and he looked towards Nightking Gu and Long Yun before looking up. It was almost as if he could see the gathered organizations and the smug expressions on Nightqueen Qiuyu, Elder Viletree, and the others.

“If you don’t want to give up, then I’ll help you,” Wendy Yushan told him quietly, but her eyes became determined as well.

Lu Yin placed a hand on her shoulder. “There’s no need. I can do this on my own.”

Wendy Yushan was astonished.

Lu Yin raised his foot and stepped forward. As he passed Wendy Yushan, he tossed her a Money Bomb. “This thing can instantly kill a Hunter, so it should be enough for you to protect yourself.”

Then, under countless lost, shocked, and puzzled eyes, he walked by himself over towards Nightking Gu and Long Yun.

Countless felt that his actions were strange, and many thought that he had gone mad.

On top of the mountain range, Hai Qiqi frowned, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.

Lily Anne could not help herself, and she shouted, “Brother Lu, it’s enough! You’ve done enough!”

Off in the distance, Nightqueen Yanqing and the others made their appearance, though they were also puzzled by Lu Yin’s actions.

On another side, those from the Sword Sect also appeared: Mu Rong, Liu Shaoqiu, and Yōu Ye'er. At this moment, everyone was watching Lu Yin.

In space, Hai Dashao felt that something was strange. “This kid still hasn’t given up yet?”

Elder Ren looked appreciatively at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin stopped a hundred meters away from Nightking Gu. “This battle isn’t over.”

Lu Yin then donned his universal armor as a gun appeared in his hands.

This sight was very strange, because the higher a cultivator’s realm was, the more unlikely it was for them to use things like a set of universal armor or ring armor. Not only did such items not provide much in the way of defense, but they also obstructed one’s mobility. This was also the reason why nobody had donned ring armor since the start of the battles on Planet Pyrolyte. A battle technique could strike the body even through armor, so the protection provided by one was not very impressive.
