Chapter 330: Battling A Legend (1/2)

Countless people stared in amazement as Lu Yin faced Tian Hou. His knees began to bend, and it seemed as if he was about to kneel down.

If he knelt at this moment, Lu Yin would be finished for the rest of his life. The entire Human Domain would reject him because he represented all of them at this moment. To have humanity kneel at the feet of an astral beast was unacceptable.

On Zenyu Star, the expressions of Huo Qingshan and the rest changed, and their faces drained of all color.

Wendy Yushan clenched her hilt tightly, and she suddenly stood up, her eyes blazing.

In the Innerverse, the face of the black-haired lady with the white sword went cold.

In the Daynight Ancestral Area, Zhuo Daynight nervously watched on.

At this point, countless hearts seized as people stared on in a daze. Would Lu Yin kneel?

Tian Hou’s eyes flashed with pity. He knew that this person would be finished if he was forced to completely kneel. But for the sake of victory, this was necessary. This was the price, and it was heavier than even death.

Lu Yin’s eyes filled with horror as his knees gradually bent and approached the ground.

Countless watched on with bated breath.

In the sky above the battlefield, the Astral Combat Academy mentors were about to stop the match, but Lilac Snow appeared at the first sign of movement.

Outside the battlefield, the contempt in Yun’s eyes grew even more intense.

Starsibyl watched on gravely; her divination had revealed no such scene.

The Astral-10 students clenched their fists, and Xia Luo’s face dropped.

Nightqueen Yanqing gleefully sneered.

Right when Lu Yin’s knees were about to drop, a sound suddenly reverberated in his mind. It was the Stonewall Scriptures.

At the same time, Tian Hou howled in misery and retreated in a sorry manner. In that instant, he had been sent flying backwards by an indescribably majestic pressure. Lu Yin realized the circumstances that he was in and flew into a rage. He lashed out with his bound hands and sent Tian Hou flying again.

Countless people let out their held-in breaths. Lu Yin had withstood the critical juncture and not kneeled.

Lu Yin’s back was drenched in sweat as he tore away, panting heavily. He still felt fearful, as everything would have been ruined if he had knelt down—his future would have been reduced to nothing if that had happened.

“Seventh Bro! Seventh Bro, can you hear me? Seventh Bro!” the monkey screamed without end.

Lu Yin panted heavily. “Yes, I hear you.”

“What just happened? You wouldn’t respond no matter how hard I called for you.” The Ghost Monkey was panicking.

The monkey did not understand what had happened either. In the end, a legend was merely a legend and there were no precise records about them. No one knew exactly what abilities Tian Hou possessed.

Lu Yin watched Tian Hou crash into the ground and grit his teeth. He still held some residual anger, as the worst result of this battle was not death, but rather being forced to kneel down to his opponent. This had angered him beyond all reason, and he charged out with Flash and ruthlessly pounded down at Tian Hou.

When Tian Hou’s body was forced underground, his dazed brain finally seemed to awaken a bit. He saw Lu Yin’s strikes descend upon him, and he raised a hand. “Let’s struggle to the death!”

There was a tremendous boom, and the ground was once again smashed to powder. This shocked many students’ hearts, as Lu Yin was now being held up by Tian Hou once again.

Tian Hou grit his teeth and stared at Lu Yin; he wanted to devour his opponent’s emotions once more. No one would obstruct him this time! He wanted to understand the attack that had sent him flying just moments ago; after all, he should be matchless!

Terror reappeared in Lu Yin’s eyes, but this time he could hear the Ghost Monkey. “Seventh Bro, you are terrified again. Damn, this is such an evil ability! Seventh Bro, your wife is being snatched! Your Ming Yan from the Shenwu Continent is being snatched away by the Daynight clan!”

Lu Yin’s eyes abruptly changed as he heard the monkey’s words and the image of Ming Yan’s dazzling beauty appeared in his mind. His fury spiked to new heights, and he mercilessly sent Tian Hou crashing underground again.

Tian Hou was taken aback. Why is it not working? Impossible, no one is immune to my ability!

Lu Yin did not pursue Tian Hou and instead retreated a hundred meters back, from where he cautiously watched Tian Hou. The lingering fear once again arose within his eyes. What sort of ability was this? It had actually caused him to freeze in place.

“Seventh Bro, this is very bothersome. Tian Hou’s ability can mess with your emotions. Even if there’s no terror in your heart, you still have love or affection. Choosing any one of them will cause you to be unable to withstand his attacks. If Ming Yan is dead and Zhuo Daynight is slaughtered by Nightqueen Yanqing, what will you do?” the Ghost Monkey seriously asked.

Lu Yin’s heart sank, and he watched Tian Hou’s bloodlust increase. It was no wonder why this creature had become a legend; he truly was overpowering.

“What do you suggest?” Lu Yin asked quietly.

The monkey was at a loss. “I don’t know. I’ve already said that no one can face a Cosmic Hou alone, as they’re pretty much invincible.”

Lu Yin did not believe in invincibility, as no one was truly undefeatable, not even the Ten Arbiters.
