The bearded man snorted. "Lu Yin?
What Lu Yin?
What does this have to do with me? Scram! You're just an Explorer! "
Lu Yin frowned, and then his eyes suddenly widened. Star energy flooded out in all directions as his forcefield erupted. Everyone felt their hearts sink, as the incomparable pressure made them feel uncomfortable. Nightking Changfeng stared at Lu Yin. "Brother Lu, you've gone too far."
Dust rose from beneath Lu Yin's feet as his domain suddenly solidified and pressed down on everyone, including Nightking Changfeng.
This person clearly knew that Big Beard's attack would be ineffective against him, and it would instead allow him to establish his prestige, but he still stopped it. Doing so would only make Big Beard resent him, while he would increase his prestige and gain a favor for no reason. He was quite scheming.
Thus, Lu Yin decided to pressure them all at once, as he didn't have the time to slowly convince them.
Aside from Nightking Changfeng, Bigbeard, and a few other Cruisers, everyone else had been suppressed by Lu Yin's domain and were unable to move.
"Brother Lu, I said that's enough!" Nightking Changfeng shouted, and the surface of his body became as translucent as white jade. His seven lined battle force erupted as he charged towards Lu Yin. Nightking Changfeng was arrogant to begin with, and when he had been flung away by Lu Yin in front of Ming Yan, he had been suppressing his anger all this time. Now that Lu Yin had pressured him once more, he finally exploded.
Xun Meiren's eyes lit up as she watched this scene.
Lu Yin had been waiting for this person for a long time. He was a man, and he had a common problem with all men. This person had not only approached Ming Yan, but he had also called her 'Yan' er '. Lu Yin could not stand it. His battle with Ming Zhaoshu had been a way to vent his frustrations, but the one he could truly vent on was this person.
The three grains of Fatesand moved, and Lu Yin raised a hand to grab Nightking Changfeng's fist. There was a boom, and the rest of the people felt their brains explode as they were all sent flying backwards. Blood trickled down the corners of their mouths, as they had all been injured by the collision between Lu Yin and Nightking Changfeng.
Jadeskin was Nightking Changfeng's innate gift, and with the addition of his seven lined battle force, he was much stronger than before. However, he soon discovered that he still could not resist Lu Yin's strength. His fist was tightly gripped by Lu Yin, and he could not move at all.
"Too weak!" Lu Yin barked.
Nightking Changfeng's pupils shrank, and the surface of his body changed once more. This was the Nightking's Body. Among Lu Yin's peers, only Nightqueen Yanqing had ever used it before. Nightking Changfeng was a full generation older than Nightqueen Yanqing, and he was of the same generation as the Ten Arbiters. His Nightking's Body was even more powerful.
Nightking Changfeng had originally thought that his Nightking's Body would be enough to suppress Lu Yin's strength, but he discovered that nothing had changed.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "I've already said that you're too weak." Seven lined battle force appeared on his right fist, causing Nightking Changfeng's expression to change to one of pain. His seven lined battle force had been crushed, and his Nightking's Body was on the verge of collapse.
Now that he had broken through to the Explorer realm, he was much stronger than Kong Shi, who was a peak Hunter. With the addition of the Yu Secret Art, Fatesand, and the Dream Finger, even if he was not a match for a peak Hunter like Kong Shi, it would still be very difficult for him to be defeated. Even without taking those things into account, he could still defeat a powerhouse at Nightking Gu's level, let alone Nightking Changfeng.
Nightking Changfeng's face was deathly pale, as he had already used all of his strength. He had seven lined battle force, Nightking's Body, and his innate gift, Jadeskin. Any one of these abilities would have been enough to crush countless people in the same generation as him, but even when combined together, they were still unable to withstand Lu Yin's power. Crack! Nightking's Body collapsed, and blood spurted out from Nightking Changfeng's body. Next was Jadeskin.
Berserk gales raged about, causing the mountain range to tremble, and the shockwaves even reached the Reverent King's Residence.
Ming Zhaoshu looked up. "He's still a young man after all. He's letting his emotions affect his decisions."
As Lu Yin increased his strength, Nightking Changfeng's fist was crushed in his palm, and his bones pierced through his skin.
The others were shocked, and the bearded man was even more shocked.
"Br- Brother Lu, did you come here just to kill people?"
Xun Meiren could not help but ask. As she spoke, a trace of blood flowed down from the corner of her mouth, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Lu Yin pushed Nightking Changfeng away with a single palm and retracted his domain. Everything had happened so quickly that it disappeared just as quickly.
Everyone subconsciously gasped for breath, as they had been suppressed to the point where they could not breathe.
Everyone looked at Lu Yin with lingering fear. They were not on the same level as this person, and the difference was too great. Even Nightking Changfeng, who was ranked twenty-first on the Top 100 Rankings, had been suppressed. This person could probably rival the top fifteen of the Top 100 Rankings. No, he might even be able to rival the top ten.
Nightking Changfeng clutched his right fist and gritted his teeth as he glared at Lu Yin.
Xun Meiren hurriedly took out some special medicine to bandage the wound, but the shock in her eyes did not fade. Lu Yin's strength had exceeded her expectations. How had this person cultivated?
Lu Yin's gaze swept across everyone, and his mood inexplicably improved. "I was the one who asked the Reverent King to gather all of you here. There's something that I need all of you to accomplish with me."
No one answered, but of course, no one disagreed. Even the bearded man appeared very honest, and he looked at Nightking Changfeng with gratitude. If not for Nightking Changfeng, he would have been the one in trouble. This person in front of him must be a freak to be able to injure Nightking Changfeng to such an extent without even taking a single step.
"The Neohuman Alliance has appeared," Lu Yin said.
"The Neohuman Alliance?" Many cried out, and even Nightking Changfeng was shocked. Xun Meiren even put down her medicine and looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin continued, "The Neohuman Alliance is cooperating with Ming Zhaotian. I've already found out their location, and I need all of you to act together and completely eliminate them."
"Brother Lu, the Neohuman Alliance's matters are not small. Let's report this to the higher-ups and ask them to make a decision," someone said.
Lu Yin looked over. "Higher-Ups?
Who? "
That person was about to say something, but he was stopped by someone beside him. That person suddenly remembered that this person had even killed an Enlighter before. Even their so-called higher-ups would have to lower their heads in front of this person, and they immediately fell silent.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and said, "The Neohuman Alliance is the greatest enemy of the entire human race. I don't care what you think, but gather here tomorrow morning. I'll take you to Mingdu, and the space station will coordinate with us to attack the five sealing planets. Ming Zhaoshu will delay Ming Zhaotian, and we'll deal with the Neohuman Alliance. That's settled. Does anyone have any objections?"
"Brother Lu, is the Neohuman Alliance hiding in Mingdu?" Xun Meiren asked.
"That's right."
"If we start a war, won't the civilians be affected?" Xun Meiren asked.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "If we don't start a war, then they'll experiment on civilians. Which one do you hope for?"
Xun Meiren choked, as Lu Yin's words were not polite at all. She was a beauty, and no one had ever spoken to her in such a manner.
"Does anyone else have any objections?
If not, I hope to see all of you tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I'll deal with all of you before I deal with the Neohuman Alliance. "Lu Yin's tone was cold, as he did not need to care about what these people were thinking. Those who could appear on Shenwu Continent were all powers that were close to the Nightking bloodline. In other words, most of them would be enemies in the future.
In the end, Lu Yin's gaze paused on Nightking Changfeng for a moment before he left.
From start to finish, Lu Yin had not planned on learning the names of these people or where they were from. This was because a large number of them would die in the battle against the Neohuman Alliance. These were the Three Hands of Darkness, and who knew what they were hiding. If not for his universal armor, Lu Yin would not have taken the risk of personally taking action.
As they watched Lu Yin leave, one person grumbled unhappily, "This Lu Yin is too arrogant. He actually ordered us around."
The person beside him smiled bitterly. "It's fine if you're as strong as him. He doesn't care about us."
"Right now, he only cares about Hunters. No, only Enlighters. Why would he care about small fries like us?"
…
Xun Meiren looked at Nightking Changfeng. She could see the bone-deep killing intent in his eyes, and she was delighted. Before the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, she had received orders from her family to eliminate Lu Yin as much as possible. This order had not only come from the young family head, but also from the family head.
Lu Yin was someone that the Xun family had to kill. She did not know why, but she could only follow orders. Right now, she could only take advantage of this Nightking Changfeng.
The crowd gradually dispersed until only Nightking Changfeng and Xun Meiren remained.
"Help me kill him," Nightking Changfeng said coldly.
Xun Meiren smiled bitterly. "Brother Changfeng, even you aren't his opponent. How can I help you?"
Nightking Changfeng's gaze turned cold. "My Daynight clan obtained some pyrolyte in the Astral Wilderness. When we fight in Mingdu, you and I will work together and find a way to use the pyrolyte to kill him."
Xun Meiren was shocked. "Pyrolyte's destructive power is too great. It might even destroy the entire city. There are many people there."
Nightking Changfeng grabbed Xun Meiren's chin. "It has nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter how many of these natives die. I just want him to die. Do you hear me? If he doesn't die, then I'll kill you."
Xun Meiren's expression changed. This person had gone crazy. He had been continuously suppressed by Lu Yin, and his anger had reached its peak. He did not care about the consequences, but this was exactly what she needed.
"Got it, Brother Changfeng. I'll help you." Xun Meiren pretended to be afraid.
Nightking Changfeng lowered his hand and left.
In the Reverent King's Residence, Lu Yin arrived outside Ming Yan's room. He hesitated, not knowing what to do.
The door suddenly opened, and Ming Yan walked out. When she saw Lu Yin, her eyes flashed with joy, but there was also a trace of confusion and helplessness. She sent the maids away and walked with Lu Yin to the back garden.
For a full twenty minutes, neither of them spoke.
Lu Yin smelled the fragrance of the flowers, or perhaps it was Ming Yan's scent. He looked at her. "I'm sorry."
Ming Yan was stunned. "Why?"
Lu Yin apologized. "I left you for two years and didn't ask about you. But when I came back, I spoke to you like that. I'm sorry."
Ming Yan lowered her head. "It's my fault."
The two fell into silence once more.
Lu Yin still remembered the emotions he had felt when he had left Ming Yan. That deep kiss had been intoxicating, but now, he could not even touch her face. She would hide, avoid, or even resist him. Every time he thought about this, his heart ached.
Feelings came and went quickly, but did they really disappear just like that?
Ming Yan was a stranger to him, but she still had feelings for him. Otherwise, she would not have panicked when he had apologized. She was also afraid that he would leave.
Their feelings were not strong enough, and they had been defeated by time. However, those sincere feelings still remained in the depths of their hearts, and they might sprout again in the future. In that case, everything would start anew!
"Brother Lu, can you give me some time?" Ming Yan looked at Lu Yin expectantly. "Let me think it through."
Lu Yin smiled and rubbed his nose. "You're free. No one can force you."
"But I'm afraid that you'll fall in love with someone else during this time," Ming Yan said sadly.
