Chapter 39: Robbing Together (2/2)
Gasping for air, a now-nervous Lu Yin struggled to heighten his senses. These three elites were just as strong as Parlie, and they’d surrounded him with nowhere to hide.
In the distance, Gerlaine and Balaror looked over with elated expressions. The girl especially was eager, “Do you think we should rob them in one go?”
“Yes, but we have to wait for his injuries to get worse,” Balaror muttered.
Gerlaine was pleased, “At least Eddy isn’t stupid and know how to lay an ambush, or I would have done all this for nothing.”
Balaror was surprised, “You knew this was a trap?”
“Of course not, stupid, but as long as Eddy wasn’t dumb, I knew he would think of something. I can bring that scoundrel around to rob people, so he used me to lay an ambush. None of us are idiots.” She rolled her eyes before giggling, “Even Eddy would find it hard to escape from this kind of ambush, this bastard is done for!”
Seven ambushers, and only three were of any real threat to Lu Yin. However, even those three were shocked as he sighed and retrieved something from his cosmic ring, “That is…”
In the distance, Gerlaine was stunned, and went red in the face, “That shameless bastard!”
Lu Yin smiled as he donned a set of ring armor that flickered with lightning. Indeed, this was the armor that Gerlaine claimed had been given by her brother for defense; having confiscated her cosmic ring until they parted ways, he had both this and her bow.
“Gerlaine’s armor!” the bulky man shouted and glared at Lu Yin, “You actually dare to rob Gerlaine, you must be crazy. Her brother is Gerbach.”
“I don’t give a damn who her brother is, your brains have to be mush if you think I need to differentiate between my targets!” Lu Yin sneered, sending out a Spacerender Palm. The buff man clenched his jaw as he crashed into one of the pillars, causing the entire building to collapse.
All combatants bounced out of the ruins, one of them crushing a crystal to summon blades of green wind that struck towards Lu Yin. Lu Yin simply charged towards the attack, allowing the lightning arcing all across his body to deflect the wind blades as he appeared before the man and landed a firm Cosmic Palm. He almost spat out his internals before fainting on the spot.
Seeing things go awry, the other two retreated immediately. While Lu Yin could barely break through it with the full force of the Cosmic Palm, they didn’t have such ability. In the end, a seven-man ambush had led to five defeated and two escaped. When these results were announced over the network, everyone fell silent including Eddy. He’d thought he was the strongest amongst the first batch of trainees, but it would be difficult for even him to obtain such results. Not long after, everyone cooperating with him received a message to give up on the bandit; they would invade the capital in three days.
“Come out,” Lu Yin plopped down on the floor and stared at a distant Gerlaine and Balaror. Both were shocked; today’s battle would certainly make this youth famous. Gerlaine remembered the native realmbreaker sending four people running with their tails between their legs using a single strike, but this display of power left her shuddering just as much. What sort of battle technique could severely wound a school leader with one strike?
“Help me with this,” Lu Yin threw some ointment at her.
“What?” Gerlaine pointed at herself while glaring, “You want me to do this?”
“Is that difficult to understand?”
She grew furious, “You must be dreaming! I’m a young lady who’s pure as ice, I’ve never touched any man’s body. Such heresy!”
Lu Yin stared coldly at her, “Don’t think I don’t know what you were thinking. If I was defeated just now, you wouldn’t be so courteous towards me. Apply this medicine now.”
“Let me do it,” Balaror offered.
