Chapter 375: Corpse King Transformation (1/2)

The young man remained silent as he continued advancing. He casually stepped through the puddles of blood, emanating a horrifying aura.

Paige was on the verge of fainting.

The young man stopped three meters away from Paige and the middle-aged woman before raising the blade in his hand and slicing through the void.

A crazed look appeared in the middle-aged woman’s eyes as she grabbed Paige and tossed him towards the transparent metal window. “RUN!”

As an Explorer, the middle-aged woman was actually fully capable of tearing the spacecraft apart with her attacks, so it was easy for her to toss Paige out of the vessel. Although the young man attacking them was also an Explorer and would be able to chase Paige into outer space, she wouldn’t let any chance for Paige to escape pass by. Paige could not die! That could not be allowed to happen.

Paige felt a sharp pain in his back as the transparent metal cracked and he was flung an unknown distance away from the spacecraft and into outer space. What did space feel like? He didn’t really know because he wasn’t even a Limiteer—he was just a mere Melder. He was deathly afraid of the unknown aspects of outer space, but before he could even think about his fear, the scenery around him retreated and suddenly seemed to draw far away from him. Paige had been thrown back into the spacecraft by some outside force and bashed against the wall.

The middle-aged woman was stunned. What was going on?

The young man holding the sword had not even swung it yet, and he was looking to the side.

Lu Yin was incredibly excited to finally encounter a spacecraft that had come near enough to land his star energy net. The strings that he had made were incredibly sturdy, especially since he had comprehended a domain. Due to how quickly the spacecraft was moving, it was impossible for it to avoid Lu Yin’s web. When the spacecraft ran into the strings, the huge force had caused Lu Yin to swing around in a huge circle before landing in the spacecraft itself.

It was a bit like being on a swing.

Lu Yin had been delighted and eager to enter the spacecraft, but then, a human-shaped figure had suddenly appeared in front of him, heading straight for him. He had become extremely irritated. What was this about? Was this person trying to kick him away? That wouldn’t do! Without a second thought, Lu Yin kicked the figure hard and sent them flying right back inside the vessel. He then paused for a moment, not wanting to rush into the spacecraft right away. Thankfully, he was in front of the vehicle now, so there would only be a moment or two before it caught up to him.

Lu Yin pathetically fell into the cockpit, entering through the broken transparent metal window that had been cracked open.

It had been a while since he’d last taken a breath, so Lu Yin huffed and puffed when he encountered air again. Finally. Finally! This was so difficult.

The atmosphere in the room became rather strange. Paige was stuck inside a wall, and it was unknown if he was dead or alive. The middle-aged woman and the young man were both staring at Lu Yin. At that moment, nobody moved.

Lu Yin took a few deep breaths and then frowned. The stench of blood was incredibly strong, causing him to look up. All of a sudden, he felt his scalp go numb, and he dodged to the side as fast as he could. A blade swiped past his ear, nicking him and causing a thin line of blood to run down his cheek.

Lu Yin became furious; that attack had been meant to kill him! He looked up, and the first person to enter his vision was a young man holding a sword.

The youth seemed surprised that Lu Yin had managed to dodge his attack, and without any hesitation, he launched another attack that was even more malicious than the first. As the second attack tore through the void, Lu Yin could tell that, although it was very direct and didn’t have much variation to it, it still gave off a sense of danger due to its sheer power. The attack carried an aura about it that was vaguely reminiscent of Liu Shaoqiu’s First Sword: vast, precise, and embodying the full physical power of the attacker. This person was undoubtedly an expert.

Nine stars revolved around Lu Yin as he stared intensely at the sword’s trajectory before dodging the attack. At the same time, he swept out with a foot. A heavy thud resulted from the collision as he kicked the young man out of the room.

The middle-aged woman’s pupils constricted as she stared at Lu Yinm in shock. This person was incredibly strong. Wait a second, why does he look so familiar?

Lu Yin retracted his left foot and frowned hard. He had felt a strange reaction when his foot had connected with the young man’s body. That person had an incredibly tough body, and it almost felt like he had kicked a piece of solid steel.

He turned to look at the middle-aged woman again as he checked his surroundings. Lu Yin seemed to have landed himself in more trouble.

But before he could say anything, a blade flashed out as the attacker from before swung his sword. Lu Yin quickly evaded this attack as well, but the transparent metal window of the spacecraft was torn apart even further, and the air within the vessel began leaving at an even faster rate.

That young man passed through the void and struck out with his sword even more viciously than before. Lu Yin was given no time to think, but with the aid of his Cosmic Art, he managed to stop the sword before it connected by grabbing the attacker’s left arm while counterattacking with his own right hand. Lu Yin struck the youth’s chest with a Twenty Stacks Thirtyfold Shockwave Palm.

There was a huge boom as the massive force destroyed the room. The entire vessel went dark, and the young man was sent flying through the walls of the vessel and into outer space.

Lu Yin grimaced. He’d used too much strength just now, and the spacecraft was done for after that last attack. This wouldn’t do! He’d just escaped from certain death! He turned towards the woman. “Are there personal spacecraft on board?”

The middle-aged woman had already guessed who Lu Yin was by this point, and she nodded in response. “Yes.”

Lu Yin sighed in relief. He didn’t care how many were present, just so long as there was one that he could use. After all, he’d just saved this woman’s life.

“Are you Lu Yin?” she asked.

Lu Yin just grunted in acknowledgement. “This spacecraft is about to be destroyed. You should leave.”

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth and was about to say something, but her expression suddenly changed to fear as she looked above Lu Yin’s head.

Lu Yin felt his heart thump hard, and he looked up as well. His eyes widened when he once again saw the young man from before. The youth should have been injured or even killed by Lu Yin’s earlier strike, but there he was, standing atop the spacecraft looking perfectly fine as he calmly stared at Lu Yin. Those eyes… Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. Those eyes could only be from the Neohuman Alliance! He’d only ever seen something similar in the eyes of the Neohuman Alliance’s members.

Those entirely emotionless eyes that looked like they belonged to a zombie.
