The Specter Clan was a branch of the Neohuman Alliance and was very mysterious. But why was Faceless being so polite to Lu Yin and even using honorifics?
Lu Yin did not understand, and when he saw Faceless attacking again, he leapt forward and wrapped his body in battle force. He collided with the blade, causing a huge shockwave to sweep out in all directions. It seemed intense, but it was not a very powerful attack.
Faceless had not used much strength to push the blade away. Lu Yin's right palm struck Faceless' abdomen for the third time, and Overlaying Stacks surged out of his body. Lu Yin's expression changed, as he could feel the power of the death aura again. Bang!
Faceless was sent flying into the canal, causing an uproar once again.
Even Che Han, Cheng Wu, and Mu Rong slowed down their attacks and looked over. Lu Yin's performance was truly inconceivable, as he was actually suppressing Faceless.
Lu Yin leapt into the canal and avoided everyone's gazes. He grabbed Faceless' blade with one hand and stared at him. "Kill Feng Mo and the Bo Duo as soon as possible."
Since Faceless was being so respectful to him, Lu Yin decided to test the waters and see if Faceless would listen to him. It would be great if he did, but it did not matter if he did not. At worst, he would just make a mistake.
Faceless' voice was low and weak. "We don't have enough manpower for this mission."
"Give up on your mission," Lu Yin barked, his tone implacable.
Faceless immediately answered, "Yes."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. That was it?
That was too straightforward. Why was this guy so respectful to him?
When Lu Yin had merged with the Specter Clan member's body, he had not obtained many memories, as he had been distracted by the events in outer space. In the end, he had died at the hands of a Fiend Clan elder with a power level in the hundreds of thousands.
When he recalled his battle with Faceless, there was only one possibility: he had suppressed his death aura. Death aura was a unique characteristic of the Specter Clan, and no one else possessed it. Lu Yin was very clear on this point. Could death aura also be a standard to distinguish the Specter Clan members?
Since Lu Yin had suppressed Faceless, that meant that his status was higher than Faceless', which was why Faceless had obeyed him. But the problem was, how had Lu Yin suppressed his death aura?
He did not even understand the principles behind death aura, and he had not even used any battle techniques or techniques. How had he suppressed it?
Death aura, death. Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lu Yin's mind. Arcane Art of Life and Death?
The Arcane Art of Life and Death had the ability to suppress a person's regenerative abilities, which was why it was able to counter Zhanlong Daynight's Daynight Restoration Technique. Could it be that it was effective against death energy as well?
Without much time to think, the two rushed out of the canal, collided with each other, and retreated at the same time.
It seemed like it was a draw.
This scene caused Cheng Wu's eyebrows to jump. Mu Rong and Lu Yin's strength had exceeded his expectations, and this was not something that he wanted to see. He immediately barked at Che Han and Mu Rong, "Deal with those two first."
Che Han and Mu Rong ignored him, but Lu Yin heard him. He turned around and glared at Cheng Wu before looking at Faceless. "Zhong Nan is the strongest. Let's deal with him first." He then attacked Cheng Wu.
Cheng Wu raised his eyebrows. Zhong Nan?
Talking about him?
The faceless man did not hesitate and raised his saber to slash at Cheng Wu.
Not only them, Mu Rong and Che Han also attacked Cheng Wu at the same time.
Cheng Wu felt as if he had just eaten a dead fly. "Stop!"
However, his words were drowned out by four powerful attacks: Che Han's Fireglass Frost, Mu Rong's wooden flute, Lu Yin's Skybeast Claw, and Faceless' saber.
Cheng Wu was very strong, and he surpassed everyone present. That bell's defense was especially invincible, but even the strongest defense was useless against four powerful attacks. Even with the bell, Cheng Wu was still struck in the chest by Faceless' saber, and a huge wound appeared glaring under the sunlight. Cheng Wu's gaze turned fierce, and he growled, "Sonic Thunder Fist!" He punched his own bell.
There was a loud bang, and the sound waves turned into thunder that swept out in all directions. White shockwaves that could be seen with the naked eye swept through the air, overturning the water in the canal and causing the ground around them to crack.
This was Cheng Wu's strongest attack, and it caused the four's heads to explode, giving them headaches.
Cheng Wu hated Lu Yin the most at this moment, as this person was the reason why the four of them had joined forces. He knew that he would definitely lose, but before that, he had to kill this person.
With that thought in mind, he punched out again, this time directly at Lu Yin. Lu Yin did not move, and Faceless slashed out with his saber, cutting through the powerful sound waves and sending a huge saber beam towards Cheng Wu.
Cheng Wu's pupils shrank as the bell enveloped his body, and there was another loud bang.
Lu Yin was astonished, as Cheng Wu was indeed worthy of being ranked sixty-ninth on the Top 100 Rankings. That bell's defense was simply astonishing, and it was probably almost on par with Lu Yin's Fatesand, but it still hadn't cracked.
The bell did not crack, but Cheng Wu, who was protected by it, was not safe. Fireglass Frost spread out from beneath his feet, freezing his legs. Cheng Wu's face went pale, and his star energy surged, shattering the layer of ice. However, the moment the ice shattered, green grass spread out from the ground. This scene was not unfamiliar to anyone, as it was Mu Rong's forcefield — the image of a shepherd boy herding cows.
Cheng Wu had experienced the strength of a forcefield before. If he had been at his peak, he would not have been afraid, but now that he was heavily injured, the forcefield felt like he had sunk into a swamp, and his entire body was being suppressed. The shepherd boy herding cows transformed into an ordinary wooden flute and tapped Cheng Wu's chest. There was a thump, and Cheng Wu was sent crashing into his own bell. The bell slowly dissipated, as Cheng Wu could not hold on any longer.
Pfft!
Cheng Wu spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked up and gritted his teeth as he swept his gaze over the other four. He knew that he had lost the upper hand, so he did not linger. He immediately charged into the canal and left with the flow of the water. He could be considered to be someone who could accept defeat and would not make any unnecessary struggles.
The strongest person in the Sea King's son-in-law selection, Cheng Wu, had been defeated, and only four people remained.
Everyone stared at the screen. Soon, it would be over soon.
Hai Dashao did not feel any pity or pity for Cheng Wu's defeat. Even if Cheng Wu had been the strongest person in his group, so what? If Hai Dashao had been in Cheng Wu's shoes, he would not have performed so conspicuously. It could only be said that Cheng Wu had been too arrogant.
Starsibyl was not surprised by Cheng Wu's defeat, and she watched the four people on the screen with interest. How would these four fight?
At this moment, everyone was watching curiously. There were four people, and it just so happened that they would fight in pairs to determine the final powerhouse. Logically speaking, it should be Che Han against Mu Rong, and Faceless against Lu Yin. After eliminating Mu Rong and Lu Yin, the final victor would be either Che Han or Faceless.
However, the previous battle between Faceless and Lu Yin had left the crowd uncertain, and it was hard to say who would emerge victorious. As for Mu Rong's strength, many people realized that he had not revealed much of his strength. From start to finish, he had only used his agility battle technique and his aura. As for his offensive battle techniques and innate gifts, he had not revealed them yet.
Mu Rong's strength was unfathomable, and he had hidden it even more deeply than Che Han and Faceless.
Michelle and the rest looked at the screen with complicated expressions. They had thought that Lu Yin was just going through the motions, but they had not expected him to reach the final step.
At this point, they did not wish for Lu Yin to fail. Becoming the Sea King's son-in-law sounded very exciting.
"Speaking of which, if Junior becomes the Sea King's son-in-law, will we still need to be afraid of Feng Mo and the Bo Duo?" Little Pao asked in a rather loud voice, deliberately speaking for Bo Junior to hear.
When Bo Junior heard this, he felt uneasy, and he nervously looked at the screen, hoping that Lu Yin would fail.
On the other side, Feng Mo and Bo Senior were also very nervous. So what if Lu Yin was a Hunter? Against the Sea King, it would be the same as Lu Yin's group against them. No, Lu Yin's group could still escape from them, but if they were the ones facing the Sea King, they would not even be able to escape.
In the lower reaches of the Skyfall Cascade, a group of losers were rescued, including Xun Jiong. He had been beaten very badly and had lost consciousness. Under Xun Tao and the others' care, he barely managed to open his eyes and stared at the screen with hatred. "I, Xun Jiong, swear that I won't be human if I don't take revenge."
Xun Tao was helpless, and he could only pray that Lu Yin did not become the Sea King's son-in-law. Otherwise, forget about revenge, he would not even have time to curry favor with Lu Yin.
Elsewhere, Hai Qiqi frantically tried to contact Hai Dashao, but he did not pick up.
The Sea King's Trident exuded a sharp spear intent, and the four did not immediately attack. Instead, they looked at each other in fear.
Faceless suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then left without looking back. He had given up.
Many were stunned.
Che Han watched Faceless leave, and his eyes flashed as he cautiously glanced at Lu Yin and Mu Rong. He was also afraid of repeating Cheng Wu's mistakes and that Mu Rong would join forces with Lu Yin.
However, he was overthinking things. At this point in the battle, Mu Rong did not plan on attacking. He did not want to become the Sea King's son-in-law, and he only wanted to clear that person's name. Mu Rong had defeated Cheng Wu with a single blow with his wooden flute and displayed a nearly unparalleled aura, which was enough.
Lu Yin did not plan on attacking either, but he was very interested in Mu Rong. He was hesitant about whether or not he should fight Mu Rong and see who was the true unparalleled Limiteer.
"Seventh Bro, it's time for you to show off! Use your Fatesand to fight Mu Rong! Beat him until he starts doubting himself!" the monkey shouted excitedly, feeling as if he was about to become the strongest Academy Master of the Spiritual Academy.
Lu Yin was also a little tempted, as Mu Rong would definitely not be able to break through his Fatesand's defenses. At the very least, Lu Yin would not lose. Furthermore, Mu Rong's aura reminded him of the war spirit he had encountered in the Storm Domain, and he really wanted to spar with that aura expert.
However, he could not fight for nothing, so he looked at Che Han. "I'll help you stall him. You go get your spear."
Che Han was stunned, and he stared at Lu Yin in a daze. He had always been cold, but at this moment, there was even a trace of confusion in his indifference. "Why?"
Mu Rong looked up and stared at Lu Yin curiously. Was this person really willing to give up the chance to become the Sea King's son-in-law?
Lu Yin looked at Che Han. "I want you to owe me a favor. Regardless of whether or not you become the Sea King's son-in-law, you have to remember to repay this favor in the future."
Che Han's eyes narrowed. "You know where I come from?"
Lu Yin nodded.
Che Han's eyes flickered. "Alright, I, Che Han, will owe you a favor." He then charged towards the Sea King's Trident.
Lu Yin looked at Mu Rong, as he was already prepared for battle.
However, Mu Rong had no intention of attacking, and he simply watched as Che Han charged towards the Sea King's Trident. "You don't have to keep an eye on me. I don't plan on stopping you."
Lu Yin was stunned. "You don't want to become the Sea King's son-in-law?"
Mu Rong's expression was calm, but there was a trace of deep sorrow hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Only those from the Ten Arbiters Council knew that Mu Rong had once been hurt by love, and that pain had caused him to never interact with another woman for the rest of his life.
Countless people from the Sea King's Dome were at a loss. Cheng Wu had been defeated, and Faceless had left. The remaining three had actually reconciled and had no intention of fighting over the Sea King's Trident. This was too strange.
Cheng Wu and the rest had lost unjustly.
