The strands of hair were thin and small, so no one noticed them. Nearly ten thousand of the hundreds of thousands of people present were entangled by the hair and instantly lost their vitality, turning into dried corpses. These were all ordinary people who could not even be considered cultivators, so they could not resist the Judge's ability to absorb their vitality.
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "You dare?!"
The Judge was trapped in the ice, and the vitality of nearly ten thousand people was absorbed into his body through the hair. When he saw Lu Yin's palm strike, he raised a hand and met it head-on. There was a loud bang, and the Judge was once again sent into the ice. The ice shattered, but Lu Yin was not in a good condition either. He was forced back several steps, and his Thirty Stacks Hundredfold Shockwave Palm had actually been reflected back, causing his right arm to feel weak.
When he looked up, Lu Yin was shocked to see that the Judge's body was imprinted with a purplish-red battle force that was accompanied by red streaks. This was nine-lined battle force.
The Judge had absorbed the vitality of ten thousand people and raised his battle force to nine-lined battle force.
Lu Yin's scalp went numb. In front of him, the Judge sneered. His figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Lu Yin. His hair pierced out, and his nine-lined battle force shocked Lu Yin. He activated the Yu Secret Art and directly changed the direction of the hair's attack. However, the Judge had suffered a loss before, so how could he not be prepared? Countless strands of hair imprinted with nine-lined battle force pierced through the void towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was struck by the countless strands of hair, and his body was sent flying before crashing into the ground.
The Judge charged forward again, and his hair extended into the void and stabbed towards the ground. Suddenly, the hair's attack changed direction, and a blade of light tore through space.
The hair blocked the blade of light, causing dazzling sparks to fly. The Judge was continuously pushed back by the blade of light, and with a loud bang, the blade of light shattered. However, Zi Rong's second blade of light appeared once again, and the Judge's gaze turned cold as his figure flickered and disappeared.
Zi Rong's blade of light viciously slashed at the ice, causing it to tremble. It cut through most of the ice, but it was not completely severed.
Zi Rong was shocked, as there was actually someone in the Great Yu Empire who could block his blade of light, and this person was also a Hunter.
Outside the ice, Yan Yan was also shocked, as this blade had almost broken through his ice. This was a rare powerhouse. Yan Yan thought about it and continued to seal the ice, as he could not allow the battle to spread out.
Underground, Lu Yin was panting for breath. If not for his universal armor, then he would have been finished..................
Lu Yin leapt to his feet and began to search for the Judge as soon as he saw the blade slash across the ground.
He didn't find the Judge, but he saw rune lines approaching Violetsnow and Luoshen from underground. Zi Rong seemed to be facing some kind of threat. His expression was grave, but he didn't discover anything.
Lu Yin didn't dare to warn them, as he was afraid that the underground assassin would speed up his attacks.
However, he forgot that he was the biggest target of the assassins. As soon as he moved, the underground assassins knew that they were exposed. They did not hesitate to assassinate Luo Shen. The blade flashed with a cold light. It was Feng Zi.
Zi Rong turned around and shouted, "Stop!"
Luo Shen watched helplessly as the blade descended upon her. Suddenly, a blue layer of ice appeared in front of her; it was Violet Snow. The blade slammed into the ice and shattered it, but the ice successfully delayed the blade's attack. Lu Yin arrived just in time to pick up Luo Shen and toss her away a second time. He pressed down on the ground with one hand, and there was a loud boom as he unleashed multiple attacks without holding back. The entire ground was shattered, but Feng Zi was still nowhere to be seen.
Assassins were best at concealment and camouflage, and they also had power vessels that could hide their rune lines. Even Lu Yin felt that it was difficult to deal with them. Aegis had made ample preparations this time, and even with Zenyu Star's current strength and Zi Rong's help, they were still caught in a difficult battle.
In outer space, Aden was sent flying once more. He had lost count of how many times he had blocked Lord Egret's attacks, and even his thunder shield was starting to feel exhausted. It was not as easy as when he had blocked the Enlighter realm astral beast back in Ironblood Weave.
Lord Egret was in a rather bad mood. A Hunter had blocked his path, and it was as if the Hunter couldn't even break through his shield's defenses. Where had this freak from the Great Yu Empire come from? Lord Egret was an Enlighter.
Within the frozen trading company, many of the assassins seemed to have realized that they couldn't deal with Lu Yin, especially the Judge. He had not held back in that attack, and even a Hunter should have died, but Lu Yin was still alive and kicking. His external defenses were too ridiculous, and since they couldn't deal with Lu Yin, they had to use their backup plan.
The Judge's figure flickered, and he appeared beneath the layer of ice. He growled and imprinted nine lined battle force into his hair before attacking the layer of ice with all his might. Even if Lu Yin didn't die, they would destroy Zenyu Star and let the entire Outerverse know the consequences of offending Aegis.
The layer of ice continued to crack, and outside, Yan Yan's expression was solemn as he continued to reinforce the layer of ice.
The Judge's attacks grew stronger and stronger, and suddenly, a shovel appeared beside him and slammed into him while he was completely unprepared. The Blind Monk had entered.
Lu Yin relaxed when he saw the Blind Monk. If the Blind Monk could enter, then it meant that the chaos on Zenyu Star had been quelled.
Fortunately, he had left behind the Hunter realm captains of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons to guard against Aegis. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to quell the chaos on Zenyu Star in such a short time, and ordinary cultivators would not have been able to find those assassins.
Another blade slashed out, and Zi Rong appeared beside Violetsnow and Luoshen. His eyes were cold, and his expression was vigilant.
Lu Yin scanned his surroundings. Cries of agony filled the trading company, and tens of thousands of people had been killed or injured. There were also many hidden assassins, but the most important ones were the Poisoner, the Judge, and Feng Zi. These assassins would definitely not let him go.
An assassin's principle was to flee as far as they could if they missed their target. However, at this moment, the Aegis assassins were determined to establish their dominance, and they had no intention of giving Lu Yin any time to catch his breath.
Feng Zi appeared again, and Lu Yin turned around and swatted out with his Skybeast Claw, shattering Feng Zi's blade. Cold blades appeared from all directions and enveloped him.
Lu Yin was puzzled. The Judge's attack had not killed him, so Feng Zi should have known about his defensive capabilities. Why had he still attacked?
Unless there were other hidden assassins.
Just as he thought about this, Lu Yin's mind went blank, and everything in front of him changed. He appeared in a spacecraft in outer space, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens. He saw a familiar scene: this was the border of the Astral River. In the distance, the giant ark had yet to arrive, and all sorts of powerful enemies had appeared around him. Big Sis and the others were fighting with all their might, but they had left him alone in the spacecraft.
One familiar figure after another fell into a pool of blood in outer space. Some had been torn to pieces, and not even a corpse remained.
Lu Yin's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared as he tried to escape. He was very strong now, and he could fight Enlighters. He could help Big Sis and the others, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape. His strength had completely disappeared, and he had returned to being a normal person who had never cultivated. He once again experienced the feeling of helplessness and despair.
His mind suddenly became clear, and the voice of the Stonewall Scriptures echoed in his mind. Lu Yin's eyes trembled. Not good, it was an illusion. There were still other top assassins.
His vision went blank again, and he returned to the trading company. Everything that had just happened seemed like a second, but in front of him, there were strands of hair imprinted with nine lined battle force and countless cold blades. There was also an even more terrifying stream of air. Three attacks descended and viciously struck Lu Yin.
The Poison Master, the Judge, and Feng Zi had joined forces to attack Lu Yin under the cover of an illusion. This attack was difficult for even an Enlighter to withstand, and Lu Yin was once again blasted into the ground.
Zi Rong saw this, and his expression changed.
Lilac Snow saw this, and she clenched her fists.
Luo Shen, the Blind Monk, and many others had also seen this. Would Lu Yin still be alive after facing the combined attack of three top assassins?
At this moment, Phantom Stinger, who had been hiding all this time, finally discovered the Poison Master's tracks. His dagger transformed into a white lotus that flashed past the Poison Master, leaving behind a trail of blood. The Poison Master then disappeared again.
Phantom Stinger's piercing cold light also disappeared. He did not know what had happened to the Poison Master, and he did not even know where his attack had landed. The Poison Master was indeed worthy of being the number two assassin. He had not been ranked solely based on the number of people he had killed, and his ability to preserve his life was also top-notch.
The Judge and Feng Zi did not linger, and they both disappeared at the same time as they chased Lu Yin underground. They did not know what had happened to Lu Yin, and if possible, it would be best to cripple him instead of kill him. After all, death was not the most terrifying punishment.
"Hurry up and help him!" Lilac Snow shouted as she looked at Zi Rong anxiously.
Zi Rong's eyes flashed, but before he could move, a powerful light flickered from underground. This light had come too suddenly, and it was so bright that it caused ripples in the void. It illuminated the trading company, the entire Zenyu Star, and even the heavens, which attracted Lord Egret's attention.
The next moment, a beam of light shot out from Zenyu Star into outer space, causing it to tremble and the void to crack.
Lord Egret was shocked. What a terrifying attack! If he had been the one to take that attack head-on, it would have been difficult for him to survive. This attack had been enough to break through his defenses.
Within the trading company's ice layer, Feng Zi looked at the left side of his body in disbelief. Half of his body was gone, and he had been unable to resist that beam of light.
This beam of light had come from underground, from Lu Yin.
To the side, the Judge felt his scalp go numb, and his figure flickered as he disappeared.
Underground, Lu Yin faced upwards and put down the Money Bomb. He had used up the last one, but it was a pity.
Super Flash Rush
The tear bomb was indeed effective. If not for the sudden flash of light, then even the Money Bomb would not have been able to hit Feng Zi. This assassin's ability to dodge was too strong.
Killing Feng Zi in one blow had removed a threat.
Lu Yin leaped out of the ground once more, and many people were stunned. Even Zi Rong was astonished. Lu Yin's ability to preserve his life was unparalleled. If Zi Rong had been the one to take on that combined attack, he would have been in grave danger as well. This person really did have a power vessel that could defend against Enlighters' attacks. Was it that universal armor?
With this power vessel, Lu Yin was practically invincible.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Phantom Sting appeared and asked in a low voice.
"Where's Poisoner?" Lu Yin scanned his surroundings, looking for an assassin.
"I don't know. I injured him, but I don't know how serious his injuries are."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed as he panted heavily.
"The one who attacked you just now was the eighth-ranked assassin, Unparalleled Beauty. She has a strange appearance, and she has both a human head and a snake head. She's good at creating illusions, so be careful." Phantom Sting then disappeared.
Lu Yin sneered. Aegis was really generous. Just one assassination, and four of the top ten assassins had come. How ruthless, how ruthless.
In outer space, Aden withstood another attack, but his entire body was sent flying like a meteor.
Lord Egret did not want to waste any more time with Aden, so he directly attacked Zenyu Star. However, Aden gritted his teeth and withstood the attack.
Lord Egret was convinced. "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Aden had long since activated his nine-lined battle force, or else he would not have been able to last so long. "Kill me if you can."
