"Seventh Bro, this Feng Shang isn't bad. He's an honest person," the monkey said.
Lu Yin watched as his own spacecraft overtook the others one by one, and he was satisfied with his speed. However, when he thought about the blackhole-grade Aurora, his mood soured. He still owed the Outerverse Youth Council a blackhole-grade spacecraft. No, he owed Wendy Yushan. That spacecraft had been specially given to her by the council, but he had destroyed it.
Forget it, Wendy Yushan is an Explorer, so she shouldn't mind. Lu Yin comforted himself.
After reciting the Stonewall Scriptures for a while, Lu Yin fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, the monkey suddenly shouted in panic.
Lu Yin was woken up by the noise. "What's all that noise about?"
"Look, those spacecraft are all heading back!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked ahead. Spacecraft after spacecraft swept past him and rushed back.
Lu Yin felt that something was amiss, especially when he saw two single-person spacecraft crash into each other and explode. He decisively changed his route and headed back the way he had come.
Spacecraft would plan their own routes in space, and when two spacecraft reached a certain distance, they would automatically switch routes. It was impossible for them to crash into each other. The only possibilities were that the spacecraft's systems had malfunctioned, or that the pilots were too panicked and did not want to wait for the spacecraft to re-plan their routes. Thus, they had frantically chosen their own route.
"What's that?" the monkey shouted in panic.
Lu Yin looked up, and his pupils shrank. He saw a gray torrent sweeping towards him at an extremely fast speed, swallowing up spacecraft after spacecraft. Every time it swallowed a spacecraft, the gray torrent would pause for a moment, but it would quickly sweep forward again.
Lu Yin finally understood why those spacecraft had fled in such a panic. This was a storm, and that bastard Feng Shang had said that it was difficult to run into one.
"Run, Seventh Bro!"
Lu Yin looked at the system and tried to re-plan his route, but the storm's force field had destroyed it. Lu Yin had no choice but to choose his own route and head back.
Spacecraft after spacecraft were swallowed up and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The radiant-grade spacecraft were not slow, and they were about the same speed as the storm. Lu Yin relaxed, as the storm would not last for too long. He should be able to escape.
"Careful!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth and steered his spacecraft to the left. He had almost collided with another spacecraft, and he would have been finished if he had. He would have definitely been swallowed by the storm.
At that moment, a small spacecraft beside him turned around and flew back. It was also a radiant-grade spacecraft that was far more expensive than Lu Yin's single-person's spacecraft, and its speed was about the same.
At this moment, only the speed of radiant-grade spaceships could escape the engulfment of the storm.
Lu Yin's eyes were filled with star energy as he stared straight ahead, afraid that another spacecraft would crash into him. Suddenly, he felt that the line to his right, which was the rune lines, was being strangely condensed. He turned around and saw a person standing on the small spacecraft. The person was coldly glaring at him with a palm that was ready to attack.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. This wasn't good. This person wanted to use him to slow down the storm so that they could escape on their own. Based on the number of rune lines that had been condensed, this person was a Cruiser, and not an ordinary one at that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford a radiant-grade spacecraft.
"Seventh Bro, be careful!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin released the monkey. "You control the spacecraft." He then retrieved an item from his cosmic ring, which was the Money Bomb that he had bought from Old Cai. Since Old Cai wanted to send him to his death, then Lu Yin would not sit still and wait for his death. Old Cai, I hope that you're reliable.
There were still a dozen people on the small spacecraft to the right. "Captain, let's attack. We don't know how long this storm will last, and we might not be able to escape."
At the top of the spacecraft, the Cruiser's eyes were cold as he stared at Lu Yin. "My apologies, but you can only blame your bad luck for blocking this calamity for us." He then attacked with his palm, and a giant palm print traversed the heavens and pressed down on Lu Yin's personal spacecraft.
Lu Yin's eyes widened. What a powerful attack! Lu Yin's power level had to be over 80,000. He didn't even think about it as he pointed the unsealed side of the Money Bomb at the Cruiser and poured star energy into it. The next moment, a ray of light shot out and instantly pierced through the Cruiser's giant palm print before crashing into the Cruiser's body.
The Cruiser had never imagined that a Limiteer would be able to unleash such an attack, and he had no intention of dodging. He lowered his head and saw that his abdomen had been pierced. He was dead without a doubt.
How could this be?
He was an existence who dared to challenge Hunters above his Realms. His true strength was enough to challenge powerhouses with a power level of over 10,000, but he had actually died at the hands of a Limiteer.
The people in the small spacecraft were stunned as well. The captain had died just like that?
Lu Yin hadn't expected the Money Bomb to be so tyrannical. A single ray of light had instantly killed a Cruiser, and the Cruiser hadn't even been able to defend himself.
It was no wonder why Old Cai had said that it could instantly kill a Hunter. This kind of destructive power was indeed enough to kill a normal Hunter. Fifty star essence was not expensive.
The Money Bomb could only be fired once, and after that, the metal sphere in the center would shatter, and the sealed jade bamboo would also dim.
Lu Yin put the Money Bomb away and looked at the small spacecraft.
The people in the small spacecraft also looked at him in shock. As for the dead captain, he had long since been swept into the storm.
The two parties weren't too far apart, and Lu Yin could clearly see the resentful and venomous gazes of those people.
However, those people quickly forgot about Lu Yin. The Money Bomb's attack had not only killed the Cruiser, but it had also destroyed the small spacecraft's roof. The small spacecraft's roof kept shaking, and it didn't take long for it to shatter. The small spacecraft's speed also gradually decreased.
Lu Yin didn't feel any sympathy for them. If that Cruiser hadn't attacked him, he wouldn't have retaliated either. These people were willing to sacrifice others for his sake, and regardless of whether or not there was any enmity between them, they deserved to die.
The small spacecraft gradually fell behind, and Lu Yin turned around and focused on operating the spacecraft. The monkey also fused into his arm.
Suddenly, the spacecraft trembled, and Lu Yin looked up. Another person had appeared at the top of the spacecraft, and it was a Cruiser.
This person was tightly clinging onto Lu Yin's spacecraft. A Cruiser's speed couldn't compare to a radiant-grade spacecraft, so if he wanted to escape, he would have to rely on Lu Yin's spacecraft.
"Seventh Bro, look! The storm's subsiding!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin turned around, and sure enough, the storm had shrunk. The small spacecraft was very lucky and hadn't been swallowed up yet. However, even if it hadn't been swallowed up, it still wouldn't be able to escape once the storm completely subsided.
There was a loud boom as the Cruiser slapped down from the top of the spacecraft, causing the spacecraft's speed to slow down slightly.
Lu Yin was furious, as this person had wanted to use his spacecraft as a scapegoat to buy time for the small spacecraft.
"Seventh Bro, kill him!" The monkey was furious as well.
Lu Yin placed a single palm on the top of the spacecraft, and a dark golden glow appeared on his palm as he activated his battle force. Thirty Stacks exploded forth, and with the toughness of a radiant-grade spacecraft, it could withstand a Cruiser's attack. Lu Yin's Thirty Stacks passed through the vibrational force of the metal and slammed into the Cruiser's body.
The Cruiser only felt a huge force assault him, and he almost couldn't block it. His internal organs were in pain from the vibrations, and he looked at the spacecraft in shock. A Limiteer actually had the strength to injure a Cruiser? There weren't many people in the universe who could do this, and this person could not be allowed to live.
Through the personal spacecraft, Lu Yin and the Cruiser clashed with each other with vibrational force. Gradually, the top of the spacecraft was unable to withstand the two Cruisers' attacks, and cracks began to appear.
"Seventh Bro, we can't keep fighting. The spacecraft can't take it," the monkey said.
Lu Yin was helpless, as his opponent wasn't easy to deal with. After all, this was a Cruiser with a power level of over 50,000.
The exchange between the two slowed down the spacecraft until it was now level with the small spacecraft, and it was gradually overtaken by the smaller spacecraft.
The people in the small spacecraft heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Lu Yin's spacecraft was devoured, they would be able to buy a little more time, and that little bit of time would be enough for them to escape.
The Cruiser panted heavily as he leapt onto the small spacecraft's top. He looked at Lu Yin with an intense fear and lingering fear.
A Limiteer had been able to fight against a Cruiser, and the Cruiser could only think of a few famous people in the universe. Even if this person wasn't one of those people, he definitely had a great background, and it was impossible for him to remain nameless. Such a person had to be killed, or else there would be endless trouble in the future.
Everything had happened too quickly, and Lu Yin had no time to use his multiple identities to threaten his opponent. Even if he did, it would be useless in this situation. It was either the Cruiser died, and even if the Ten Arbiters personally took revenge for him, that would be a matter for the future. Lu Yin's current identity could not save him.
The cracks on the top of Lu Yin's spacecraft grew larger and larger, and its speed became even slower than the small spacecraft's.
"It's over, it's over. It's been devoured. It's over. My Celestial Ice Phoenix clan, my harem," the monkey lamented.
Lu Yin clenched his fists and looked at the approaching storm. He gritted his teeth and looked at the small spacecraft. He punched the top of the spacecraft and used the spacecraft's Flash to close in on the small spacecraft.
The people in the small spacecraft were disdainful, as there was still a Cruiser above them.
The Cruiser saw Lu Yin's attack and did not dare to be careless. He used his full strength. Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Yin could deal with this person, it would not have been so easy. After all, the difference in power level was too great. However, something appeared in Lu Yin's hand: Progenitor Wushang's hide.
The Cruiser saw it, and his mind exploded. He did not even have the chance to resist before he fainted. This was Progenitor Wushang's power.
Lu Yin's attack had not been intended to take these people down with him. He had only wanted to use the small spacecraft to escape, and he had also kicked the Cruiser into the storm. He watched as the storm swallowed up the Cruiser's spacecraft and the Cruiser. The Cruiser panted heavily as the storm grew smaller and smaller. He should have been able to escape.
However, Lu Yin's Money Bomb's attack had caused too much damage to the small spacecraft. The top of the spacecraft had shattered, and the Cruiser had been swallowed up by the storm along with the small spacecraft. In the blink of an eye, the universe fell silent, and the storm disappeared without a trace.
Several days later, in Astral-8, Feng Shang was in a daze as he read the news about the Tempest Flowzone. When he saw the storm that had just passed by, he immediately contacted Lu Yin. The storm had passed not long after Lu Yin had contacted him.
However, he was unable to contact Lu Yin.
