Chapter 406: Finger (1/2)
Lu Yin was stunned. “Avery’s really arrogant.”
“He has the qualifications to be,” Feng Shang commented.
Kuang Wang rolled his eyes, as it was irritating just to hear his name.
“Seventh Bro, you must teach this Avery a lesson some time. There’s even this Avery’s Test! He clearly thinks that he’s something else. You have to beat him, and after we trash him, let’s create our own criteria. We’ll call it the Harem Test!” the monkey shrieked.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of a problem. “Isn’t the Spirit Seal Flowzone where the Souldream Tribe is? They use musical battle techniques, which sounds rather similar to the Dire Barbarian Clan.”
“The Dire Barbarian Clan and the Souldream Tribe have a feud that’s lasted for generations. Their hatred for each other is deeper than anyone else’s,” Xia Luo said.
This was Lu Yin’s first time hearing about this, and he was rather curious to learn more.
“Rumor has it that the Dire Barbarian Clan has a tradition of kidnapping beauties from the Souldream Tribe and then marrying them, and whoever succeeds in doing this is considered to be a true warrior. The Souldream Tribe has their own tradition as well, which is to show no mercy to anyone they meet who’s from the Dire Barbarian Clan. Killing them is considered as making a contribution to the tribe, which has about the same significant as the Dire Barbarian Clan members becoming warriors. The famous massacres between the two clans have lasted for countless years,” Feng Shang explained.
“Interesting.” Lu Yin laughed.
“The Dire Barbarian Clan is arrogant, and that Avery’s basically their poster boy,” Feng Shang continued.
Kuang Wang rolled his eyes when he kept hearing his name being mentioned. “Focus on controlling the boat, and don’t let it wobble so much.”
“Don’t bother.” Lu Yin stood up and loosened his arms. “Get ready for a tough battle.”
Feng Shang and the rest felt like his words were strange since they hadn’t sensed anything.
Lu Yin squinted and looked ahead. In his eyes, the entire Ocean of Death was surging wildly, and countless lines of runes were converging right in front of them. The runes gradually coalesced into humanoid figures. These were war spirits with the ability to attack one’s spiritual force.
At that moment, Feng Shang and the rest also saw them, and their faces turned ugly.
“One, two, three… seven, nine,” Kuang Wang sluggishly counted them. “Nine war spirits, and each one should be at least as strong as a Realm Master. This is gonna be tough.”
Xia Luo was even more serious than the two of them, as his face had also changed color.
Lu Yin took a few steps to move in front of the others. “I’ll try my best to draw some away, but you guys are going to have to take care of yourselves.” He then used Flash and disappeared. Five-lined battle force appeared around his body and he started using his domain and Cosmic Art. He slammed a palm out towards the nine war spirits in front of him. The force of the attack was earth-shattering, and he tried to get all nine of the spirits within the scope of his attack.
Given his power level, even if nine Realm Masters joined forces against him, he should still be able to handle their joint efforts all by himself.
Just as Lu Yin intended, the nine war spirits all focused on him, ignoring Feng Shang and the other. However, other war spirits were already appearing around the boat.
Kuang Wang said, “Impossible! How can there be so many war spirits so far out in the Ocean of Death? Some of these have to be illusions.”
Feng Shang shouted, “Real or illusion, who cares? Just start fighting!”
In an instant, a heated battle broke out in the middle of the Ocean of Death.
During the Astral Combat Tournament, Lu Yin had already been able to crush a Realm Master, and his power had only reached even more terrifying heights since. One war spirit was immediately dispersed by his palm, but each war spirit was birthed from someone who had been able to enter these regions of the Ocean of Death, which meant that each one of them had their own unique abilities. They unleashed all sorts of innate gifts and battle techniques, as these war spirits represented the successive generations of freakish geniuses. Although their absolute power level could not match those on the Top 100 Rankings, their methods did not lack in variety, and even Lu Yin needed some time to eliminate them all.
There were even Lockbreakers among the nine war spirits, and two at that. They used lockbreaking methods to dissolve Lu Yin’s Overlaying Stacks, and one Lockbreaker war spirit even gave Lu Yin a sense of familiarity. Surprisingly, its battle style felt exactly like Dao Bo’s. Surely it can’t be from Dao Bo…
The war spirit unleashed a domain that clashed with Lu Yin’s. His battle force also collided with another one’s, and the Ocean of Death was blasted apart.
Behind Lu Yin, Feng Shang’s trio was experiencing an uphill battle; they had been surrounded by seven war spirits. The first to fall was Kuang Wang. He had released his azure dragon, but it was quickly dispatched by a war spirit with four-lined battle force. His emperor butterfly topgrass had then been torn apart by another war spirit, leading to the group’s first death.
Feng Shang did not fare much better. His Cyclone Strike quickly eliminated one war spirit, but in turn, he was heavily injured by another.
In comparison, Xia Luo seemed to be taking care of himself the best. His lockbreaking methods were able to neutralize the war spirits’ attacks, but he wouldn’t be able to last for long either.
Lu Yin defeated three war spirits consecutively, but from behind him, a ferocious attack surged to come down upon him. On one side, there was a war spirit wielding a sword that tore through the void, and on the other, there was a strange chilly breeze atop the Ocean of Death, which was trying to freeze him in place.
Although there were many attacks, not a single one of them was able to overcome Lu Yin’s defenses. The war spirits were taken out one by one, and as he vanquished the final one, Xia Luo took a war spirit down with him.
Sixteen war spirits had attacked them, and while eight had been fake, the other eight had been real.
No one aside from Lu Yin could survive a joint attack from eight Realm Master-level powerhouses.
As Lu Yin floated a meter above the Ocean of Death, he looked up; he could not remain hovering there any further. A boat of star energy formed beneath him, and he descended to stand on it.
