Lu Yin sneered, as this person's physical body was very weak. He didn't hesitate to strike out with another palm, but the assassin hurriedly dodged. Lu Yin's palm missed, and the tremendous force behind it distorted the void, causing the assassin's scalp to go numb.
Palm after palm, Shockwave Palm, Air Splitting Palm, Combat Skills triggered by pure physical strength made the assassins not dare to approach.
Even if the Sirius Technique expanded its range and enveloped the assassin, the assassin would still be able to sense and avoid it. Lockbreakers were too sensitive to star energy, and even Lu Yin's domain was unable to envelop the assassin.
"Are you going to kill me just like that?"
The assassin's gaze turned cold, and a circular patch appeared in his palm. He placed it on his forehead and stared at Lu Yin, causing him to feel a chill run down his spine.
His heart skipped a beat. Was that a lockbreaking tool?
The assassin suddenly disappeared and reappeared at Lu Yin's side, grabbing at him with a single palm. Lu Yin turned around and punched out, still relying purely on his physical strength. The assassin stuck close to Lu Yin's arm and moved forward, his right palm aiming for Lu Yin's neck. Lu Yin growled and dodged the attack by sticking close to the assassin's hand. The two had attacked and dodged at the same time within a single second, and they were both stuck close to each other.
Lu Yin had used Secret Sidestep, while the assassin had used a lockbreaking tool to display a speed similar to Secret Sidestep. This person was very difficult to deal with.
"You are definitely not a nobody. Who are you?
Why do you want to kill me? "
Lu Yin shouted as he looked at the Hunter in front of him. This person had concealed his appearance because he was afraid of being recognized, so he should be a famous figure.
With such incredible lockbreaking skills, he might even know this person.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the distance that was accompanied by a thunderous boom. The two Hunters who had been delaying Aden were sent flying while coughing up blood. Aden's nine-lined battle force was wrapped around his body.
"Retreat!" the peak Hunter barked as he tore through the void and left.
The other two fled without hesitation.
Aden wanted to chase after him, but after looking at Lu Yin, he decided against it.
"Are you alright?" Aden asked.
Lu Yin shook his head and took off his universal armor. His face was gloomy.
"They're Lockbreakers, and not just any Lockbreaker. They were even able to break down my thunder shield, so they should be at the Perceptive Intermediate level. If it weren't for my nine-lined battle force, then it wouldn't have been easy to deal with those two," Aden muttered.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. "Who has the ability to mobilize three Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers at once?
There aren't many Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers in the entire Outerverse's Lockbreaker Society, so let's just say … "
Aden patted him on the shoulder. "Let's return to the spacecraft first. We'll know when we reach Sourcepeak Planet."
Lu Yin nodded.
Although there were only three Hunters attacking this time, it was far more dangerous than the previous time when there had been five Hunters. If not for Aden, then this battle would have continued. Even Huo Qingshan and the Blind Monk would not have been able to face a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker on their own, as they would have been completely suppressed.
When he returned to the spacecraft, Lu Yin fell into deep thought. Was there a connection between the Lockbreaker Society and the Lockbreaker Competition?
Or could it be that someone in the eastern weaves had asked these three Lockbreakers to kill him? That shouldn't be the case, as Lockbreakers weren't assassins. Unless it was the Daynight clan. Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. If it was the Daynight clan, then it was possible that they had asked these three Lockbreakers to take action.
Three Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers, which was quite an extravagant move. Not a single stronghold had three Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers during the war in Ironblood Weave.
Humans were sometimes too shrewd, but they were also too selfish. The Outerverse was not as fragile as Lu Yin had imagined.
Not long after the three Lockbreaker assassins left, another spacecraft approached. It was a personal spacecraft that did not have many rune lines, so Lu Yin did not pay it much attention.
The spacecraft sent a request to enter Lu Yin's command deck, and when Lu Yin received the message, his heart skipped a beat. "Let him in."
Not long after, a familiar figure appeared in front of Lu Yin. It was Tong Mi 'er, who had appeared during the Lockbreaker trial on Savage Ape Planet. He was known as an Outerverse Lockbreaker Genius, and he was an Explorer who had reached the Four Stars Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker level.
"Tong Mi 'er greets Mr. Lu." Tong Mi' er appeared in front of Lu Yin with a respectful expression. He was not as arrogant as he had been back on Savage Ape Planet.
Lu Yin looked at Tong Mi 'er. "Why are you looking for me?"
"Mr. Lu, your trip must not have been smooth," Tong Mi 'er said as he looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin gestured for Tong Mi 'er to sit down and had someone bring over two cups of fruit juice from Lars Weave. "Have a taste. It's not bad."
Tong Mi 'er's eyes flashed. "Mr. Lu, don't you want to know who attacked you?"
Lu Yin placed the fruit juice on the table with a thump and glanced at Tong Mi 'er coldly. "The attack happened not too long ago, but with your speed, you definitely couldn't have seen it. How did you know that I was attacked?"
Tong Mi 'er replied, "Mr. Lu, please don't misunderstand. The person who attacked you has nothing to do with us."
"Us?
Who? "Lu Yin asked. This person was here to tell him the answer to the matter of him being attacked by a Lockbreaker.
"Me and the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society's acting mentor, Lady Felynn," Tong Mi 'er said solemnly.
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. He had heard of Felynn. The Outerverse Lockbreaker Society had a total of three acting mentors. They were Four Stars Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker Yi Feng, Three Stars Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker Mr. Jun, and Three Stars Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker Felynn. All of this information was available on the Lockbreaker Network.
"The person who attacked you is from the Lockbreaker Society. The order came from Vice President Saul," Tong Mi 'er said.
Lu Yin frowned. "Vice President Saul?
Didn't he go to the Innerverse? "
"That's what the outside world said, but he didn't actually go to the Innerverse. He's always been in the Outerverse, but to avoid being called up for the war in Ironblood Weave, it was widely rumored that he brought several Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers to the Innerverse. We didn't know about this until the war in Ironblood Weave ended."
Lu Yin sneered. This Saul didn't see the big picture. If the war in Ironblood Weave had failed, and the Astral Beast Domain had invaded, Saul would have died as well. No, it was also possible that he would have joined the Astral Beast Domain.
"Saul has always wanted to take control of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society, but President Geoffrey has always suppressed him. Now that the Innerverse and Outerverse have been separated, Geoffrey has truly been isolated from the Innerverse. Saul began his plans, and in a short period of time, he recruited several Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers. He also wants to use this Lockbreaker Competition to let his disciple, Deng Pu, obtain True Insight. Your existence is a threat to him, which is why he sent someone to assassinate you," Tong Mi 'er explained.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "As the Vice President, shouldn't he be able to obtain True Insight whenever he wants?
Why would he need to organize a Lockbreaker Competition? "
"Of course not. The Lockbreaker Society is too important, and President Geoffrey has always been on guard against Saul. He's set up many rules, and as long as Saul doesn't want to provoke the public, he has to follow the rules. Furthermore, there's an Honorary Vice President of the Lockbreaker Society known as Fiend Li, and he's the one who's keeping Saul in check."
"What's the strength of his disciple, Deng Pu?" Lu Yin was curious.
"One Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker," Tong Mi 'er answered solemnly.
Lu Yin frowned. "Perceptive Intermediate? I'm just a Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker. Is there a need to send three Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers to assassinate me?"
Tong Mi 'er shook his head. "You're different. You're the actual controller of the Great Eastern Alliance, and you have a record of killing Enlighters. Your existence itself is an accident, and even if you're just a One Star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker, Saul still thinks that you should be eliminated."
Lu Yin felt honored when he heard this, as he was such a great threat to others. It seemed that Saul was the reason why he hadn't been notified of the Lockbreaker Competition. "Why are you telling me this?
What does Lady Felynn, who's behind you, want from me? "
Tong Mi 'er answered seriously, "Lady Felynn wants to join forces with you to deal with Saul."
Lu Yin laughed. "You said that I have the strength to kill Enlighters. If it's confirmed that Saul sent people to assassinate me, then I'll deal with him directly. Why would Felynn interfere?
Isn't it better to just sit back and wait for the fisherman to reap the benefits? "
Tong Mi 'er smiled bitterly. "You don't understand Saul's strength at all. He's a peak Hunter, and he's also a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Boundless Advanced was a level that would instill fear in those who heard it. It was said that those who had reached the Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker would possess unimaginable lockbreaking abilities, and their strength would also undergo a qualitative change. A Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker was equivalent to an Enlighter, and this person was also a peak Hunter.
"Saul actually had the ability to break through to the Enlighter realm a long time ago, but he's been waiting for True Insight. Once he obtains it and studies it, then it's very likely that he'll be able to use it to become an extremely powerful Enlighter who can rival President Geoffrey. He's not someone that the Enlighters you've killed before can compare to," Tong Mi 'er explained.
He paused for a moment, and when he saw Lu Yin's calm expression, he continued, "Let's put it this way. President Geoffrey once killed five Enlighters during the war with the Technocracy without suffering any injuries."
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and a chill ran down his spine. A single person had killed five Enlighters without suffering any injuries.
He was completely unscathed. This was truly abnormal.
Even in the cruelest battlefield in Ironblood Weave, no one had been able to kill five Enlighters at the same time. Powerhouses would all be targeted, just like Elder Lohar. Even if he had the strength to kill multiple Enlighters, it would still be useless as he would be held back by the enemy's experts. If Geoffrey had been able to kill five Enlighters under such circumstances, then that would be terrifying.
"So you're saying that True Insight can allow Saul to become as strong as President Geoffrey?" Lu Yin asked.
Tong Mi 'er nodded. "That's what Lady Felynn said. The contents of True Insight are useless against us, and it's even useless against Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers. It's only useful against Boundless Advanced Lockbreakers. Any Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker who grasps the contents of True Insight will have their strength doubled. President Geoffrey has grasped the contents of True Insight, which is why his strength is so terrifying. Lady Felynn's original words were that Saul absolutely could not be allowed to obtain True Insight. Otherwise, even the Hall of Honor would not be able to suppress him."
Lu Yin fell into deep thought. Just a peak Hunter, a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, had been enough to render him helpless. This Saul was even more formidable, and they were not even on the same level. Even if Lu Yin summoned the entire Great Eastern Alliance, he would not be able to deal with Saul. It seemed that the only way to deal with this person was to cooperate with Felynn.
However, Tong Mi 'er's words might not be entirely true, as there was still a need to distinguish who was a person and who was a ghost.
