<h4>Chapter 1645: The First Round</h4>
After Lin Huang ended the call with Spy, Steel Fist and Epic yer looked at him.
“Was that Spy from the Raiders that you were talking to?” Steel Fist asked immediately.
“It was.” Lin Huang nodded.
“Based on the information you provided, that fellow is indeed a bigger threat. Since he was able to find out your contact number and verify your real identity, it proves that he might be able to find out our real identities too. He might even be able to locate our coordinates through ourmunicators.” Epic yer frowned slightly.
“If he’s a middle-rank Lord, it’ll be hard for us to kill him.” As a closebat powerhouse, Steel Fist particrly disliked encountering this kind of opponent, who possessed showy abilities.
“Let me handle Spy,” Lin Huang’s tone was calm as if he were talking about something insignificant.
Although Epic yer and Steel Fist still had some doubts about Lin Huang being able to kill a middle-rank Lord, they could tell from the conversation between him and Spy earlier that both had an irreconcble grudge. They did not delve further into the subject.
“Since he’s already discovered your contact number and your real identity, it shouldn’t be hard for him to locate your coordinates,” Epic yer added. “I reckon it won’t take him long to get here.”
“I wonder how many people they’ll send this time.” Steel Fist looked serious; she could not rx at all.
“If they don’t know that both of you are here, they probably won’t send too many people. I anticipate that there’ll only be three or four people at most,” Lin Huang put forward his spections, “But if the news that I requested your help has been leaked, they’ll definitely send quite a few people—maybe even all the members they have. They certainly won’t let a perfect opportunity to kill three Club members slip by!”
What Lin Huang said made Epic yer and Steel Fist look even grimmer.
All this while, they had never considered the possibility that there might be a mole in the Club.
After all, apart from Lin Huang, who was a new member, everyone had known each other for years.
However, they did not refute what he had said either. They were also not entirely sure whether or not there were any moles in the Club.
“We’ll see when the timees, but hopefully the situation won’t be so dire.” Epic yer sighed lightly.
Lin Huang poured the two of them more tea and began leading the conversation in a lighter direction.
In no time at all, it was already early next morning.
The stars had just risen on the Pfister Star’s horizon when Lin Huang sensed powerful auras approaching the Devil Hunter Star Zone.
Epic yer and Steel Fist lifted their heads and looked in the same direction almost simultaneously. Their expressions were both extremely grave.
There were nine powerful auras!
Lin Huang had been right after all. If the Raiders had wanted to capture only Lin Huang, even if they were to take him alive, there was no need for all of them to make an appearance.
Both of them exchanged nces and read the message in each other’s eyes—there was a mole in the Club after all!
Almost the next instant after all three sensed the presence of the Raiders, a series of formidable shockwaves surged through the void at practically the same time.
Epic yer and Steel Fist dodged immediately. In the blink of an eye, they appeared outside the Pfister Star’s atmosphere.
Just when they had found stable footing, they realized that Lin Huang had not dodged at all.
At the same time, both of them saw a curtain of ck light rising from the Pfister Star’s surface. It spread across half the almost immediately and just happened to obstruct the direction the shockwaves wereing from.
“There are nine of them—he can’t possibly defend himself against all of them!” Steel Fist muttered softly.
“This Xiu Mu fellow...” Epic yer looked extremely grim. He had never expected Lin Huang to do something so risky the minute he showed his hand.
This was an attack with thebined forces of nine Lords. Not only that, there were two auras that were clearly middle-rank Lords.
Even a middle-rank lord-level powerhouse would be forced to dodge an attack of such power.
However, right as they thought Lin Huang was definitely going to die, the nine shockwaves struck the curtain of ck light at almost the same time.
A secondter, Epic yer and Steel Fist’s eyes widened. The shocked expressions on their faces seemed to have frozen in ce.
‘What did I just see?!’
The two of them had the same thought at almost the same time.
Only a momentter were they able to confirm that what they had seen earlier was not an illusion.
The nine shockwaves of various colors were immediately deflected when they struck the curtain of ck light.
Not only was the ck light curtain not perforated, but the entire Pfister Star remained intact and whole.
“What kind of defense technique is that?!” Steel Fist and Epic yer were immediately dumbfounded.
On the other end of things, the nine Raiders who had attacked looked even more stunned.
When the nine of them saw Lin Huang using the curtain of light to envelop the Pfister Star earlier, they all thought that Lin Huang was signing his death warrant.
They could almost imagine what would happen next. The curtain of ck light would shatter the moment the shockwaves hit it, and the entire would be crushed into dust, including Lin Huang.
However, what they had imagined waspletely different from reality.
The nine of them had the same reaction when they saw the shockwaves being deflected—they thought they had been ensnared in an illusion.
However, they immediately realized the truth a secondter.
This scenario was by no means an illusion—it had actually happened!
Seeing that the deflected shockwaves were going to reach them in merely the time it took for a breath, all of them braced to take the impact head-on.
Suddenly, the man leading the team and another middle-rank Lord shouted a warning at the same time, “Get out of the way!”
Both of them had obviously sensed the peculiarity of the deflected shockwaves.
All nine Lords hastily scattered immediately in an attempt to avoid the iing shockwave attack.
However, at this point, a ck kitten the size of a human palm appeared out of nowhere. Its nine tails were proudly raised high like swaying serpents, while its ck eyes were full of disdain.
As soon as the kitten appeared, the nine Lords sensed that their bodies had frozen in ce.
The two middle-rank Lords freed themselves from this restraint at the first possible moment and immediately attacked the kitten. Clearly, they realized it was the kitten that was causing this mischief.
However, the ck kitten merely shot them a nce and vanished instantly, rendering their attacks futile.
At this point, the shockwaves had already approached. Of the remaining seven Lords, only three managed to forcibly free themselves from their unseen bonds, barely dodging the shockwave attacks.
However, the other four Lords were killed instantly.
Just this one encounter alone had caused their side to lose half of their members.
The three lower-rank Lords who had barely escaped felt themselves break into a cold sweat over their entire bodies. If they had not broken free of their spatial bonds at the veryst minute, they might not have been able to escape death.
The middle-rank Lords were pale. They had not expected Lin Huang’s abilities to be this powerful.
Naturally, this encounter had been clearly witnessed by Epic yer and Steel Fist, who were hovering in the air.
They were utterly dumbstruck; even after a few minutes, they could not recover theirposure.
When the two of them had first met Lin Huang, they sensed faintly that Lin Huang’s abilities were not weak at all. However, they had never expected him to be this powerful.
Just one attack earlier, and he had easily disposed of four lower-rank Lords. The two of them, at least, could not do this.
“This fellow is really ruthless!” Epic yer could not help eximing.
“We underestimated him...” Steel Fist did not know what she was supposed to say now.
