Chapter 392: Trapper Qin Chen (1/2)

“How much?” Lu Yin asked, though he did not slow down his mad rush towards the three pikes.

Northgate Lie was feeling anxious and had no time to say anything. He raised a hand to attack Lu Yin. Since he had reacted a tiny bit slower, he could only respond to Lu Yin by attacking. Lu Yin did not dare to act carelessly either, and he turned around to exchange palm strikes with the young Explorer. A terrifying gale swept out and blasted the ground apart, startling countless parasitic worms.

But at that moment, the two elders from the Blaze Realm rushed over and tried to rush past both Lu Yin and Northgate Lie to win the pikes.

Lu Yin and Northgate Lie pulled away from each other simultaneously as they each targeted one of the elders.

One of them anxiously shouted, “Northgate Lie, do you really dare to oppose the Blaze Realm?”

“Blaze Realm, do you dare to oppose the Ten Arbiters Council?” Lu Yin shouted.

The elder was furious, and he raised his hand, releasing a fire lion that was reinforced with four-lined battle force and causing the temperatures to soar.

In the distance, the rest of the crowd did not show any weakness as everyone rushed forward in a bid to take one of the three pikes.

From beneath the ground, the parasites squirmed and charged up, casting the battlefield into chaos.

Some hidden powerhouses suddenly revealed their concealed strength in an explosive burst. Aside from Lu Yin, no other Limiteer could even approach the area.

The intense battle caused the star energy in the area to turn chaotic, and in the distance, the five pikes trembled. Right after that, phantom pikes appeared one after another, killing a dozen people in a row.

Lu Yin seized the Blaze Realm elder’s arm, raised his hand that was covered with five-lined battle force, and then unleashed a Thirty Stacks palm strike.

When faced with Lu Yin, the two elders had to team up to stand against him. Now that this elder was alone, he was forced into retreating, but it was already too late. Lu Yin’s palm slammed into the old man’s back, and the elder spat out a glob of blood before dying.

The other elder was also defeated by Northgate Lie but not killed.

A phantom pike streaked forward, forcing Northgate Lie to hurriedly dodge it. When he looked up, he saw that Lu Yin had already made it to the three pikes and was about to pick them up.

Northgate Lie became very anxious.

Right when Lu Yin was about to collect the ancient weapons, danger suddenly surfaced. Before the two of them, a pair of emotionless, icy-cold eyes appeared alongside a ferocious wave of air that swept up from below, aimed straight at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin focused his attention on the stranger, who was very strong.

Whoosh! The figure rushed forward again, completely disregarding Lu Yin’s attack.

Few people could disregard Lu Yin’s attacks. Even if he didn’t use any Overlaying Stacks, his raw physical strength was enough to overwhelm even an elite Explorer. However, this person seemed to be completely fine as he continued to battle with Lu Yin.

Lu Yin couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He used Flash again while preparing to use Overlaying Stacks with his kick this time.

The figure’s eyes were cold, and he growled softly. The next moment, his eyes turned scarlet as he unleashed a punch.

Lu Yin squinted—he was a Corpse King.

Bang!

The violent collision released an explosive, thundering sound as well as a massive spatial crack that snaked through the battlefield like a lightning bolt, affecting quite a few cultivators. Even Northgate Lie, who had just rushed over, was stunned and instantly stopped in his tracks.

Lily Anne and the rest were overcome with shock upon seeing this terrifying battle. Where had this powerhouse come from?

The Corpse King was once again sent flying by Lu Yin’s kick. As he flew away, he closed his eyes, determined to not let the others see through his identity. After this, he no longer tried to approach Lu Yin.

Lu Yin stared apprehensively at the Corpse King. Truthfully, he was a little afraid of the Neohuman Alliance, especially after he ran into the transformed, grey-eyed Corpse King whose strength had reached a new level. That confrontation had horrified Lu Yin, and it would definitely be bad for him if this Corpse King also mutated.

Cultivators died from mysterious deaths one after another as the phantom pikes continued shooting out incessantly, becoming more frequent by the second. Many people had already withdrawn from the area.

Northgate Lie was able to sense danger and quickly dodged a phantom pike. He panted heavily as he stared at Lu Yin with an unwilling expression. The next moment, Lu Yin waved his hand and swept all three pikes into his cosmic ring. He finally relaxed after successfully snatching them.

Deep underground, countless parasites surged up, and the trembling of the centipede's body also became more intense.

Lu Yin did not want to stay here any longer, especially since he could not guarantee that Northgate Taisui would not kill him.

“Seventh Bro, let’s go! I’ve memorized it!” the monkey said. When Lu Yin had been trying to snatch the three pikes, he had instructed the Ghost Monkey to approach the corpse with his innate gift of shadow and record the black words down. Lu Yin had thought that it would be a fruitless endeavor, but the monkey had actually just finished writing down the last bit of writing.

Lu Yin glanced to the side. Eh, where are the words?

“Stop searching. I erased them.” The monkey sounded excited.

“What for?”

“If someone else also knows them, then the information will become less valuable. Don’t you understand the concept of scarcity?”

“No one noticed you, right?” Lu Yin asked. He completely approved of the monkey’s thoughts.

“Relax, these people will just assume that the words were destroyed by the battle. Other than me, no one else should have seen them.” The monkey was confident in its results.

“Let’s go,” Lu Yin barked as he rapidly retreated along their original path.

Northgate Lie shouted, “Brother Lu, you can’t hog everything for yourself! The Northgate family is willing to pay a high price for those pikes!”

Jared did not have the time to think about how Lu Yin had killed his elder, and he also called out, “Our Blaze Realm is also willing to purchase those things at a high price! We’ll also guarantee Brother Lu’s life and send you safely back to the Outerverse.”

“I…”
