1426 Sword Alliance (1/2)
The eleventh wave of invaders arrived. Their combat level was already at Virtual God rank-8 although their numbers remained at thirty for each tunnel.
It was also in this wave that the other summoning beasts began to reach the limits of their capabilities, except for Ku Rong, Bai, and Grimace.
With their combat levels suppressed at Virtual God rank-9, it was not a problem for Charcoal and Tyrant to eliminate thirty Virtual God rank-8 monsters. However, it was slightly harder for them to execute instant kills since their combat levels differed merely by a rank.
In dealing with this wave of invaders, the overall killing speed of the summoning beasts slowed down significantly. In the previous wave, Lancelot and the rest eliminated their opponents in less than two seconds. However, in this wave, Lin Huang knew at a glance that it would take them at least seven seconds or more to kill their opponents.
Mr. Fu and many Sword Servants who were present at the scene also noticed the anomaly.
Mr. Fu's brows furrowed slightly. He knew that his abilities were slightly inferior to Lancelot and the others; even if he joined in the fight, he would not be able to greatly alter the outcome.
”Lord Swordmaster, do you want us to make a move?” Sword101 asked, snapping his head around to glance at Lin Huang.
”No need for that.” The moment Lin Huang's words escaped his mouth, around a dozen scarlet gleams of light shot out from his sleeves like lightning.
They were the telekinetic weapons that had evolved from the God Weapon not so long ago. Their level was akin to a god rule relic.
In truth, the God Weapon was not concealed in Lin Huang's sleeves but within his inner world instead. Lin Huang had just gotten used to unleashing his telekinetic flying daggers from his sleeves.
The red gleams sliced across the sky like lightning and hurtled into the area of battle where Bai and the rest were. Before anyone could react, the red gleams pierced through the invaders' bodies one after the other like small, slithering scarlet snakes.
In less than half a second, nearly half of those close to a thousand Virtual God rank-8 monsters were disposed of, leaving less than a hundred for Lancelot and the rest to continue practicing on.
After the red gleams had shot out and killed their targets, they shot back and disappeared into the depths of Lin Huang's sleeves.
Although all of this happened in a flash, the crowd of Virtual Gods saw everything.
”Was that Lin Huang who just made a move?!”
”Those dozens of red gleams should be telekinetic flying daggers!”
”Isn't he a Virtual God rank-3? How did he manage to kill off so many Virtual God rank-8s so easily in a matter of seconds? We're not talking about one or two invaders; we're talking about nearly a thousand of them!”
...
Even though Dongfang Bai, Guan Zhong, and everyone else from the Union Government had already had anticipated Lin Huang's abilities, the expressions on their faces showed only disbelief.
”I always thought that Lin Huang's power was due to his strong summoning beasts. I never expected that his own abilities would be this terrifying.
”Now that I think back on it carefully, his details actually seem to have mentioned that he is a psychic as well. But I never expected his telekinesis to be this powerful,” Dong Fangbai could not help lamenting, ”To be able to pierce through the bodies of dozens of Virtual God rank-8s… I believe that his set of telekinetic weapons is on par with a god rule relic, at least.”
”His abilities have grown far too powerful in the past two years.” Guan Zhong's expression appeared rather convoluted. When he was spying on the Wei family two years ago, Guan Zhong had already witnessed Lin Huang's strength. The current Lin Huang was goodness knows how much stronger compared to what he had been in the past.
However, the stronger Lin Huang's real abilities were, the less worried the Union Government was about him. The stronger he was, the less space he would have for advancement in the gravel world.
