The Explorer inwardly cursed her for being a lunatic. He then took out his longsword and slashed out. There was a clang as the two weapons collided, and a sharp shockwave cut through the surrounding cabin doors. A crack appeared in the void and tore through the ground. Both Zhuo Daynight and the Explorer retreated at the same time.
The Explorer gritted his teeth and raised his longsword again to press down.
Zhuo Daynight's gaze was cold as her sword qi surged. Countless sounds of collisions rang out throughout the spacecraft.
A Limiteer challenging an Explorer was not an ordinary case. It was not like a Sentinel challenging a Melder or a Melder challenging a Limiteer. Explorers had undergone a qualitative change, and their attacks could tear through the void. Their star energy circulation was also different from that of a Limiteer.
If it had been the previous Zhuo Daynight, she would have relied on her half-baked battle technique, the Whitesky Sword, to display her domain. She definitely would not have been a match for an Explorer with a power level of 20,000. But now, she had completely comprehended her domain. Even if she could not defeat an Explorer with a power level of 20,000, she could still hold on for a while. Furthermore, as time passed, she would be able to rely on the Daynight clan's battle techniques to damage her spiritual force, which would give her a chance of victory.
Unfortunately, her opponent was not an ordinary Explorer.
Pirates robbed many things, including battle techniques. The Green Remote Pirates had been around for a long time, and as the captain, he had naturally obtained many good things. This was especially true for his blade techniques. After a hundred years of experimentation, he had finally created a blade technique that was most suitable for himself. It was swift and fierce, but its angles were tricky. Zhuo Daynight could not hold on for much longer.
There was a flash of white light as his longsword blocked the red longsword. The blade swept past, and the longsword fell with a thump and embedded itself in the wall.
The Explorer coldly stared at Zhuo Daynight. "Leave immediately. I won't kill you out of respect for the Daynight clan."
Zhuo Daynight stared back at the Explorer, unwilling to give up.
The Explorer's eyes were filled with fear. His battle with Zhuo Daynight had not been easy, and he had felt like he had been suppressed from start to finish. It was as if his attacks had been seen through. The Daynight clan's sword techniques were too powerful, and if not for the huge gap between them, he would not have been able to defeat this woman even if his power level was lower by 5,000. These elites from powerful clans were too abnormal. He was an Explorer with a power level of 20,000, but he was actually afraid of a Limiteer.
Zhuo Daynight walked to the wall and grabbed the sword's hilt. She then pulled it and pointed it at the Explorer.
The Explorer captain was furious. "Although I'm afraid of the Daynight clan, I won't just sit around and wait for death. Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Zhuo Daynight's sword was pointed at the Explorer captain, but she did not move. She was thinking about how she should act, as the difference between the two of them was just too great. Only a few Limiteers in the entire Daynight clan could challenge this person, and she was not at that level yet.
"You clearly can't win, yet you still want to fight head-on. You even want to be seriously injured?"
Zhuo Daynight and the Explorer's captain turned around at the same time and saw a smiling Lu Yin.
Zhuo Daynight was shocked. "It's you?"
The Explorer captain stared blankly at Lu Yin, as he had completely forgotten about this person. This person was the greatest threat to them, and he far surpassed this woman.
"Long time no see," Lu Yin greeted.
"Seventh Brother, you know her?
Wait a minute, she looks familiar. Right, isn't she the woman that Nightqueen Yanqing used to threaten you? "The monkey suddenly remembered.
Zhuo Daynight looked at him in shock. "Why are you here?"
Lu Yin shrugged. "I was just passing by when I saw something familiar."
Zhuo Daynight knew that he was talking about a spacecraft. "I'm sorry, but I can't return that spacecraft to you for the time being."
"Then let's buy it. How much are you willing to pay?" Lu Yin teased.
Zhuo Daynight's eyes narrowed, as she actually did not have much money.
At this moment, the Explorer captain's face turned gloomy. He could tell that these two knew each other, and when he saw that they were about to continue chatting, he suddenly tore through the void to leave. The best way to deal with a Limiteer, especially one who could challenge a Realmbreaker, was to hide in outer space.
However, Lu Yin kept an eye on him, so how could he let him leave so easily? The moment the Explorer tore through the void, Lu Yin stepped forward and caused a powerful vibration to shatter countless metals on the pirate ship. Ripples appeared in the void, and the vibrations forcefully forced the Explorer out. He looked at Lu Yin in shock. "Student Lu, there's no enmity between us."
"Sorry, but you must die." Lu Yin's eyes were cold as he appeared in front of the Explorer in a flash. He raised a hand and unleashed a Twenty Stacks Fortyfold Shockwave Palm. This was his strongest attack in the Tournament of the Strongest, and this was just a warm-up.
Lu Yin's palm had not even been fully unleashed, but it had already caused the void to collapse. This scene shocked everyone, and the Explorer captain's face turned pale. He could feel how terrifying this palm was, and even he could not take it head-on. All he could do was retreat.
Unfortunately, Lu Yin's palm was not that easy to dodge. At the critical moment, the Explorer captain put on his ring armor. An Explorer-level ring armor was equivalent to the defense of two Explorers, and it was able to withstand Lu Yin's palm head-on.
Lu Yin's palm viciously slammed into the Explorer captain's chest, causing the ring armor to shatter. A majestic force tore through the void and spread out into outer space. A powerful suction force came from the outside, trying to suck everything within the spacecraft into outer space. The Explorer captain's eyes turned ashen as Lu Yin's palm directly pierced through the ring armor and crushed his heart.
A normal person would not be able to withstand Lu Yin's palm, even an Explorer with a power level of 20,000. The difference between them was too great.
Back when Lu Yin had participated in the Astral Combat Tournament, he had already been able to challenge Explorers above his Realms. He had even forced back Zi Tie, who had a power level of 40,000, at the border.
To Lu Yin, these ordinary Explorers were not as much of a threat as the Limiteer geniuses.
When Twenty Stacks completely erupted, the Explorer captain died, and his body was sucked into outer space.
Everything had happened too quickly. Lu Yin had only used a single palm to kill the Explorer captain, and Zhuo Daynight was stunned.
"Oh no!" Lu Yin cried out in alarm as he looked into outer space in annoyance.
Zhuo Daynight was startled awake. "What's wrong?"
Lu Yin was helpless. "I forgot to take his cosmic ring. There's definitely a lot of money in there."
Zhuo Daynight was speechless.
The monkey was helpless. "Seventh Bro, can you not talk about money?
You saved a girl, and she's from the Daynight clan at that. "
Due to the battle, the pirate ship had suffered too much damage, and it could only hover in outer space. As time passed, there was a chance that the ship would crash if the damaged areas were not repaired. However, this had nothing to do with Lu Yin, so he immediately left.
"Thank you for before," Lu Yin said to Zhuo Daynight.
She looked into outer space. "You did it to save me. It was what I should have done."
Lu Yin laughed. "I saved you because you were heavily injured by me. Alright, that's all in the past. Now, what about my spacecraft?"
Zhuo Daynight tossed a cosmic ring to Lu Yin. "All of my assets are in here."
Lu Yin casually tossed it back to her. "I don't want it."
Zhuo Daynight looked at Lu Yin in confusion. "Didn't you want money?"
"I can have it, but I don't want yours," Lu Yin replied decisively.
Zhuo Daynight fell silent.
"You can continue using the spacecraft since it can be considered a means of transportation. However, I have a question that I've always been curious about. Why do you specialize in killing pirates?"
Zhuo Daynight's eyes flashed coldly. "Because pirates are the ugliest group of people in the universe."
Lu Yin's face twitched. Although her words were short, they were filled with hatred.
"But you can't act recklessly. If I wasn't here, were you really planning to fight to the death with these pirates?" Lu Yin was curious.
Zhuo Daynight looked at Lu Yin with a strange expression on her innocent face. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"I don't think so." Lu Yin thought about it.
"Then that's it. If I really can't beat them, I'll leave. But I have my own trump cards, so there's no harm in trying. The pirates won't dare to kill me."
Lu Yin nodded. "It's good that you know what you're doing."
Zhuo Daynight looked at Lu Yin seriously. "How do you know about the Third Nightking's whereabouts?"
Lu Yin knew that Zhuo Daynight would ask this question. Outside of the Daynight clan, very few people had heard of the Third Nightking before, and even if they had, it was an ancient existence. "I've already asked Elder Yuanjing about this."
Zhuo Daynight looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. "You told me about the Third Nightking's whereabouts because you wanted to save me."
Lu Yin nodded, but he noticed that Zhuo Daynight's gaze was strange. She didn't seem happy, but rather regretful. "What's wrong?"
Zhuo Daynight shook her head and turned around. "You should leave. Don't forget your promise."
Lu Yin nodded. This woman was hiding something, but it had nothing to do with him. She had been willing to testify for him, which had moved him greatly. Everything he had done for Zhuo Daynight had been to repay her kindness, and it had nothing to do with romantic relationships. He didn't have the time to worry about her matters.
"Then I'll leave. You should leave as soon as possible," Lu Yin said before leaving.
Zhuo Daynight looked up at the sky and closed her eyes in pain. "I never thought that I, Zhuo Daynight, would become a sinner of the Dayking bloodline. I'm sorry, Father, Mother."
"Seventh Bro, what's wrong with that woman? She doesn't seem happy that you saved her," the monkey said angrily.
Lu Yin's tone was cold. "It's none of your business."
"Tch, I'm on your side. Why do you always vent your anger on me? I have my own dignity!" the monkey shrieked.
Lu Yin could vaguely guess why Zhuo Daynight was unhappy. The monkey had told him that the Daynight clan was divided into the Dayking bloodline and the Nightking bloodline. The Dayking bloodline had been controlled by the Sealed Cage Technique, and they were basically slaves. Now that Lu Yin had revealed the Third Nightking's whereabouts, the Dayking bloodline would never be able to rise again once the Third Nightking was released. It was normal for her to blame Lu Yin.
However, he couldn't tell Zhuo Daynight the truth that the Third Nightking had been unable to escape. Who knew if Nightking Yuanjing had done anything to her? Ever since he had heard the truth about the Daynight clan, Lu Yin had no good feelings towards the Nightking bloodline. In fact, he even loathed them.
Lu Yin didn't spend too much time with the pirates, so he set foot in outer space once more. There were only six days left until the wedding, and he had originally planned to reach East San Dios in five days.
However, the universe was always full of variables. His route had changed again, and he was delayed by another day.
Lu Yin was a little anxious, and he hoped that he wouldn't be too late.
