Chapter 197: Creating An Explosion (1/2)

“How dare you!” Numerous Limiteers were about to attack Lu Yin, but as his eyes narrowed, three-lined battle force appeared around him, shocking everyone present. This was especially true for the most powerful Limiteer, whose pupils shrank as he felt a chill crawl down his spine.

Ordinary battle techniques were nothing compared to three-lined battle force. Even though Lu Yin was seriously injured and unable to use his battle techniques, just his battle force alone was enough for him to annihilate these two Limiteers without breaking a sweat. The most powerful Leo Clan Limiteer shouted as star energy flowed across his body like violent lightning as he punched out at Lu Yin. Lu Yin raised a hand and tried to block the punch, but his entire body was forced out of the room and into the hallway.

Numerous soldiers of the Leo Clan surged in the direction that Lu Yin was thrown, and multiple star energy spears were launched at him. However, they weren’t able to harm him at all.

Another crackle of lightning shook the room as another punch emerged in front of Lu Yin. His eyes narrowed as he twisted to the side to dodge it. Lu Yin then activated his Cosmic Art, allowing him to see the lightning even more clearly than before. He turned to the side once again and evaded the third strike. Battle force gathered at the tip of his finger, and with a single tap, was sent straight to the man’s heart. However, this man was worthy of being the Leo Clan’s most powerful Limiteer. He managed to dodge Lu Yin’s attack it as he continuously retreated.

From the left and right of Lu Yin, more and more Limiteers swarmed him.

Lu Yin coughed up some blood as his organs couldn’t handle such an onslaught of attacks. Although these Limiteers couldn’t compare to the Area Masters from the Astral Combat Academy, they were all rich in terms of battle experience, which meant that Lu Yin could not handle all of them at once. He could only take advantage of the fact that everyone had moved to attack him to use Flash to move next to the young man who had ordered them around earlier. He forcefully endured the pain from his injuries, grabbed him by the throat, and then turned to face the others.

Everyone from the Leo Clan stopped what they were doing. “Let the young master go.”

“Release my son!” the middle-aged man shouted.

Lu Yin’s eyes twinkled. “If you let me go, I’ll let him go as well.”

“Fine, we’ll let you go, so let him go first,” someone yelled.

Lu Yin snickered. “Do you think that I’m an idiot? Screw off.”

Lu Yin held him tightly and whispered in his ear, “Take me to the warehouse.”

The young man was surprised by the demand. “Wh-What are you planning?”

Lu Yin gripped his throat tightly, “If you don’t want to die, keep your mouth shut. I just want to destroy the mechanical section so that you won’t be able to chase my spacecraft. Do it immediately, or I’ll tear a limb off.”

The young man was terrified and immediately led the way.

Lu Yin was not at all worried about the young man trying anything funny. It would be very difficult for anyone to deal with Lu Yin in a closed area, such as inside a spacecraft. One way was to overwhelm him with numbers, but all of the important people in the Leo Clan were here, and it would be easy for Lu Yin to capture one as a hostage. Additionally, all he wanted to do was leave this place. Revenge would have to wait until he completely recovered from his injuries. As long as he could use his battle techniques again, it wouldn’t matter even if he was fighting against twice the current number of people.

“Are you the head of this family?” Lu Yin asked as he looked at the middle-aged man.

The man nodded calmly and then said, “As long as you let my son go and tell me what happened on Driftcharge Planet, I can let you leave safely.”

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. “Prepare ten million star crystals in exchange for your son’s life.”

Everyone was shocked, including the young man who was being held.

“Ten million? Are you crazy?” The middle-aged man bellowed. The others also glared fiercely at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’s eyes glimmered. Is that considered a lot? Ever since Undying Yushan had mocked him for thinking that he had extorted “bribes” from the Great Yu Empire officials when it was truly just welcome gifts, Lu Yin had decided that he would be more liberal when it came to money. But by the looks of it, he’d gone a bit overboard in this case. As the emperor of the Great Yu Empire, Undying Yushan had only given him a hundred thousand star crystals. No matter how powerful the Leo Clan was, it could not possibly compare to the Great Yu Empire. After Lu Yin had robbed those pirates who had been in the business people for years, he had only gotten a couple hundred thousand crystals. Although ten million crystals was an amount that the Leo Clan could afford, they definitely wouldn’t pay that much for the person he was currently holding hostage.

“How much can you give me?” Lu Yin coldly asked.

The middle-aged man grit his teeth. “Five hundred thousand at most. I don’t have any more than that.”

The man had cut the price by a large amount, but Lu Yin thought it over briefly before nodding. “Alright, get it ready.”

The middle-aged man gave one of the Limiteers behind him a look, and the person immediately left.

With his hostage leading the way, Lu Yin slowly made his way over to the mechanical section. This was the core area of the ultra-large spacecraft where the delicate workings of the ship were housed and maintained.

When Lu Yin got closer to the core place, the expressions of the Leo Clan members changed, especially that of the middle-aged man. He glared hard at his son, because he was the person guiding Lu Yin.

“What are you planning, kid? Let my son go, and I can let you leave!” the middle-aged man exclaimed. He could not let Lu Yin continue moving in this direction.

Lu Yin stopped where he was. “Where’s my money?”

“It’s here. Take it.” The Limiteer who had gone to get the money tossed a cosmic ring at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin sent out a gust of wind and blew the cosmic ring into the mechanical section. It went through the door and landed near the core machinery.

The middle-aged man’s expression drastically changed. “Get it!”
