Chapter 1685 - Lin Huang Versus Nine Snake (1/2)

Nine Snake did not display any delight when he saw Lin Huang reveal himself.

He could not help frowning slightly either when he realized that he could not read this young man in front of him.

He was unable to sense how powerful Lin Huang's aura was, but his instincts told him that the young man before him was extremely dangerous.

Scarlet Fox and Silver, who were nearby, had similar reactions. However, they could not sense things as distinctly as Nine Snake; they were only able to get a vague sense of the threat emanating from Lin Huang.

Under normal circumstances, powerhouses who had elevated to lord-level usually had very acute preternatural senses.

For a while, the three upper-rank Lords fell silent, quickly trying to think of a plan.

Perhaps because the disparity in their abilities was too great, the short, burly, bald man and the remaining five middle-rank Lords did not sense the danger. They even thought that Lin Huang's aura was less powerful than their own..

Seeing that Nine Snake and the other two remained silent, the few middle-rank Lords assumed they wanted them to test Lin Huang's abilities.

The short, burly, bald man who had full confidence in his defense capabilities took the lead and spoke first, ”So you're Lin Huang?”

”That's right, I'm Lin Huang.” Lin Huang turned his head to look at the short, burly, bald man, smiling. He continued after that, ”Your defense capabilities aren't bad. I want them!”

The moment he finished speaking, a blood-red arc pierced right through the short, burly, bald man's forehead, leaving a hole that was as big as two fingers.

Everyone else present could distinctly sense that the short, burly, bald man's life force seemed to have been instantly snuffed out.

His face still retained its arrogant expression, but he had already become a corpse. It was obvious that he had utterly failed to defend himself against Lin Huang's attack.

Upon seeing the short, burly, bald man's sudden demise, practically everyone present felt their hair stand on end.

The three upper-rank Lords, including Nine Snake, were no exception.

Although they could not consider themselves close with the short, burly, bald man, they knew that he was a formidable combat cultivator. Among the Raiders' middle-rank Lords, his defense capabilities were in the top three ranks.

Scarlet Fox and Silver were secretly making some assessments. At their current upper-rank lord-level combat strength, it would be very difficult to kill the short, burly, bald man in a direct confrontation, much less kill him instantly.

Nine Snake also had a general idea of the abilities of the current team that he had brought with him. He knew that at his present level of ability, it would not be difficult for him to subdue the short, burly, bald man, but killing him would take some effort. Although he could kill him instantly like Lin Huang had, it would require the use of some trump card techniques.

He had to admit that the attack Lin Huang had used to kill the short, burly, bald man was no less powerful than if he himself used a trump card. He did not even have enough confidence to pull off a move like that.

However, he did not know whether Lin Huang had merely launched an offhand attack or if he had used a trump card to intentionally intimidate them.

Only Lin Huang himself knew that his attack earlier had been an offhand one.

His God Weapon flying dagger was inherently already a supreme-grade Dao Weapon. Even if he were to encounter ultimate-rank Lords, he could easily breach his opponents' defenses without utilizing any defensive techniques at all.

The short, burly, bald man, on the other hand, only had the physique of an upper-rank Lord at most. Even with maximum compounding of defense techniques, at best, he would still only achieve peak upper-rank lord-level strength. Naturally, Lin Huang's God Weapon flying dagger had easily impaled him.

Furthermore, Lin Huang had compounded two Dao seals onto the flying dagger in this attack.

However, any single one of Lin Huang's Dao seals was different from everyone else's because it was constructed from millions of Dao tattoos.

Compounding two such Dao seals was comparable to the Odylic Force released by two million Dao tattoos simultaneously.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, even an ultimate-rank Lord possessing over a thousand Dao seals would have less than two million Dao tattoos in total, even if they were all added up.

On top of that, Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis was ultimate-rank lord-level in terms of strength, so even though he had not unleashed his full power, it was a legitimate ultimate-rank lord-level attack.
