When the dust settled, Lilyrose and the others looked up and saw that the giant Hunter realm astral beast had retreated a thousand meters. A figure stood high in the sky, directly facing the two Hunter realm astral beasts.
"Pawn Bro." Wang Wen's eyes were brimming with tears.
Lin Le was shocked. Lu Yin?
Wendy's fiancé?
Lilyrose's eyes lit up. It was actually him!
Lu Yin shook his right arm. Fortunately, he had made it in time, but the bones of these Hunter realm astral beasts were really tough.
He looked back and saw that Wang Wen was fine. His gaze was drawn to Lilyrose. What an enchanting woman! Dressed in fiery red, was she afraid that she wouldn't attract enough attention on the battlefield?
He had just seen the Karmic Flame Sword, and it should have been released by this woman. She was from the Blaze Realm.
Roar!
With a furious roar, the two Hunter realm astral beasts attacked Lu Yin at the same time. Lu Yin took a deep breath. He did not need to use his own strength to deal with Enlighter realm astral beasts, as he only needed to use the Yu Secret Art, his gun, and his universal armor. However, he needed to use his own strength to deal with these Hunter realm astral beasts. As he thought about it, his blue seven-lined battle force flickered, and the three grains of Fatesand shifted positions as his physical strength completely exploded.
With a bang, Lu Yin quickly appeared in front of the Hunter realm astral beast and pressed down with his palm. "Thirty Stacks, Hundredfold Shockwave Palm." He had increased the power of his Shockwave Palm to a hundredfold, and with his seven-lined battle force and terrifying strength, this was the strongest attack that he could currently use.
The astral beast raised its claw and swatted out.
There was a boom, and the ground trembled as the void split open. Lu Yin had used his strength as an Explorer to tear through the void, and his enormous strength directly crushed the astral beast's claw. He then slapped the beast's head, but at the same time, he was struck by the other astral beast, and his body plummeted into the ground like a meteor.
Lilyrose watched in shock. Lu Yin had just been slapped by a Hunter realm astral beast. He wouldn't die, right?
Wang Wen was not worried at all, as Lu Yin had joined the Enlighter battlefield. A mere Hunter realm astral beast would not pose a problem for him.
The astral beast that had been slapped in the head swayed and then collapsed to the ground. It was completely dead, and its brain had been smashed to bits.
Lilyrose was shocked. A single strike had killed a Hunter realm astral beast. This person had become so terrifying after breaking through to the Explorer realm.
The Hunter realm astral beast that he had slapped to death only had a power level of 110,000 or 120,000, which was far from being comparable to Kong Shi. Thus, it was normal for it to be slapped to death. Even an Enlighter would not feel good after being slapped to the head by Lu Yin, let alone this beast.
The other Hunter realm astral beast glared at Lu Yin, and its body suddenly shrank. Then, in front of everyone's eyes, it transformed back into its human form and leaped towards Lu Yin. It was panicking, as it was afraid that Lu Yin would slap its head because it was too large.
Lu Yin sneered. How could this be enough to deal with him?
She had underestimated him.
The Hunter realm astral beast was extremely fast, and it tore through the void as it swiped at Lu Yin with its claws. Lu Yin easily dodged the attack, and the Hunter realm astral beast was unable to hit him no matter how hard it tried. Suddenly, Lu Yin stopped in his tracks. The Hunter realm astral beast's eyes lit up, and it swiped a claw at Lu Yin's head.
Lu Yin reached out and grabbed the beast's arm. "It's over." He then raised his leg and slammed his knee into the beast's abdomen. The astral beast spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Lu Yin in shock. "Human, how can your strength be so terrifying?" Lu Yin was about to strike again, but the astral beast tore off its arm and retreated, allowing its blood to spill onto the ground. It stared at Lu Yin with lingering fear, as it had never encountered a human with such terrifying strength.
In the distance, Lilyrose and Lin Le were stunned. Lu Yin had single-handedly killed a Hunter realm astral beast and even suppressed another. It was a little shocking.
"Chesspiece Bro, be careful!" Wang Wen shouted.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he dodged to the side with the Secret Sidestep. A black shadow appeared where he had been standing, and the attack had missed.
Lu Yin had seen the shadow long ago, or more accurately, he had seen the rune lines. "Tian Hou, it's been a while since we last met. You've learned how to launch sneak attacks."
The one who had launched the sneak attack was Tian Hou.
"Lu Yin, it's been a while since we last met. You've become so terrifying," Tian Hou said as he raised a palm to attack Lu Yin. This was a Phantom Spirit Palm, which was similar to the Shockwave Palm. The more palm images there were, the more powerful they were.
However, Lu Yin had no intention of retreating. His palm landed on Tian Hou's body, and his attack swept past Tian Hou before crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.
"It's still useless." Lu Yin was astonished, as his previous attack had been very powerful.
Tian Hou's Phantom Spirit Palm had been useless against Lu Yin.
At that moment, the Hunter realm astral beast attacked at the same time. Lu Yin was about to retaliate when a violent hurricane descended from the sky and engulfed everything.
A blue lion stood proudly in the void and stared down coldly. This was Cursewind from Skymender's List.
Lu Yin avoided his entanglement with Tian Hou and looked up at Cursewind with a frown. The number of rune lines that Cursewind had far surpassed the two Hunter realm astral beasts and even surpassed Kong Shishi's and the blue lion's.
What Lu Yin feared the most were not Enlighters or some old freak with a power level of 300,000 or 400,000. Those powerhouses had the power to crush everything, so it made no difference whether he feared them or not. On this battlefield, the one he feared the most was Cursewind, as he was an existence that was on par with the Ten Arbiters.
Even the current Lu Yin could not clearly gauge the Ten Arbiters' strength. Leng Jie was ranked tenth on the Top 100 Rankings, and her strength was comparable to Kong Shishi's. Kong Shishi was a peak Hunter, but there was still an unreachable gap between Leng Jie and the Ten Arbiters. This was the despairing gap that the Ten Arbiters had displayed.
Even though Cursewind had not joined the Enlighters' battle, Lu Yin was certain that this lion was hiding a terrifying strength.
Cursewind looked down from above and stared coldly at Lu Yin. "Everyone, retreat."
Tian Hou and the other Hunter realm astral beast did not hesitate and slowly retreated.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. In the Astral Beast Domain, the powerhouses on Skymender's List had the same status as the Ten Arbiters in the Human Domain. They had the authority to make decisions, and this authority was not bestowed upon them by others.
Aden had fought with Cursewind before, and he had told Lu Yin that he felt that Cursewind had not used his full strength against him. Aden had even praised Aden, and Lu Yin had never forgotten this matter.
Another point was that Wen Sansi of the Ten Arbiters had used his power to affect Shenwu Continent through the five sealing planets. However, when Lu Yin had visited Shenwu Continent's space station, he had seen for himself how enormous the rune lines represented by the five sealing planets were. Even Nightqueen Qiuyu could not penetrate the five sealing planets to deal with Shenwu Continent, but Wen Sansi had. This was a direct comparison of power.
If Cursewind truly had the power to rival the Ten Arbiters, then if he went all out, he might be even more threatening than the Shadowbeast.
"You're the human who defeated Tian Hou?" Cursewind used his star energy to vibrate the air as he spoke.
Lu Yin's gaze turned solemn, and he turned his back to Cursewind. He gestured to Wang Wen and the others to retreat.
Wang Wen was depressed. Retreat?
How?
There were astral beasts everywhere.
Lilyrose and Lin Le were injured, and it would be difficult for them to even protect themselves, let alone escape with Wang Wen.
"You're on Skymender's List?
Like Yao Gu? "Lu Yin asked.
"So you know about Yao Gu. That guy always stayed in the depths of the Astral Domain and only came out once during the border war. It looks like you were there at that time as well." Cursewind's eyes were filled with contempt. "You must have some ability to participate in an Enlighter's battle. I can see that your armor's defenses are quite high, and even the Shadowbeast can't do anything to it.
Let me try my hand at it. "As he spoke, the void suddenly froze, and a fierce hurricane pressed down. Unlike before, the amount of rune lines contained within this hurricane made Lu Yin's scalp go numb. It was no less than the rune lines from Kong Shi and Aden, and this was the power of a peak Hunter.
Lu Yin knew that this was not good, and he wanted to retreat, but the space around him had been frozen. It was just like when he had faced a powerhouse of a higher realm, and he could not move at all.
With a whoosh, the violent hurricane crushed down and completely crushed the ground. Lu Yin's entire body endured the hurricane's ravaging. His armor had clearly blocked the attack, but he still felt a bone-chilling pain. This hurricane contained a terrifying penetrative power that could even pierce through the universal armor's defenses.
Monster Loach had relied on its enormous strength to almost knock Lu Yin unconscious through the universal armor, and this hurricane's principle was the same. A wave of energy had penetrated the armor and invaded his body.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth and casually waved his hand, activating the Yu Secret Art. The hurricane swept towards Cursewind.
Cursewind was shocked. "This is … a secret technique." His body's extreme heat blasted towards the hurricane, causing a violent explosion that tore through the void and created a white shockwave that covered the entire area.
"You have no other way to counterattack aside from a secret technique. Interesting, you actually have a secret technique."
Lu Yin leaped out of the crater that had been crushed by the hurricane and looked up warily at Cursewind. This guy was indeed different from ordinary astral beasts, and he was even more of a threat than the Shadowbeast. The Shadowbeast could at most hide in the shadows and attack, but Cursewind could attack without restraint and was not afraid of Lu Yin's spear.
Cursewind definitely had something to rely on. There was still one last attack left in the spear, so Lu Yin could not use it casually.
"Use your techniques. I want to see how you can kill an Enlighter." Another hurricane roared out of Cursewind's left eye. This time, his target was not just Lu Yin, but also Wang Wen, Lilyrose, Lin Le, and many other people on the mainland, including the astral beasts.
Suddenly, a thunder shield descended and fiercely attacked Cursewind.
Cursewind's eyes narrowed. "It's that person again." Flames appeared in his right eye and accompanied the hurricane to attack the thunder shield.
The violent impact caused the ground to crumble, and lightning flashed as Aden dragged his heavily injured body out and pushed the hurricane and flames away.
"Do you really think that you can stop me?" Cursewind's voice came from behind the thunder shield. The next moment, the thunder shield cracked as the blue lion's claw pierced through it. There was a bang as Lu Yin had fired. He activated the Yu Secret Art, and the bullet struck Cursewind's head.
At this moment, the entire area fell silent as everyone looked at Cursewind.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. Even an Enlighter would not be able to dodge this attack. He had taken advantage of the moment the thunder shield cracked to attack.
However, Cursewind's rune lines did not decrease at all. Lu Yin's heart sank. How could this be?
In the distance, Wang Wen and the others were also shocked. Lu Yin's power vessel's attack could kill even an Enlighter.
With a bang, the thunder shield completely shattered. Aden spat out a mouthful of blood and looked over in shock.
A faint light appeared in the blue lion's eye sockets. "Human, your power vessel's attack is very powerful, but you're not the only one with a power vessel."
Lu Yin's face turned ugly. When he had first used his spear to kill an Enlighter, he had already predicted that once his attack method was exposed, his enemies would definitely have other methods to deal with him. They would either use a strange innate gift like the Shadowbeast or a power vessel.
It was impossible for him to forever rely on an upgraded weapon to kill enemies who were a higher realm than him, and this path was not long. However, it was obvious that he had been targeted in this battle.
