Chapter 437 - 353: Consecutive Instant Kills
Rui Ge?
Zhe Si, the Star General, naturally recognized Rui Ge, for he was his dear son.
Though Rui Ge was just one of his seventy-eight sons, he possessed a wind physique and was a super genius capable of advancing to a Star General without even using a Star General Pill.
The Yu Feng Clan produces such a genius only every few hundred to a thousand years, and now he was floating over Chongnuo City, in alien human territory.
You think Zhe Si wouldn’t be angry?
"Lu Lin!"
"You’re courting death!"
"Don’t think that Star Skill of Soul Capture makes you invincible."
"Standing here are forty-four Star Generals; if you have the ability, then kill us all!"
Lu Lin heard these words, and his eyes immediately lit with joy.
"Friend, are you serious?"
Hm?
Zhe Si didn’t understand what Lu Lin was thinking. He dared to accept the challenge to kill all the Star Generals.
"Lu Lin, you’re courting death!"
Enraged, Zhe Si, the Star General, raised his hand, and a wind blade flew toward Lu Lin.
He didn’t prepare nor did he warn.
The alien races and the human race were mortal enemies by nature; meeting face-to-face and having a conversation were already rare occurrences.
Usually, when martial artists of the two races meet, there’s no need to ask why—they start fighting right away.
"Small trick."
Lu Lin didn’t even attempt to evade, allowing the terrifying wind blade emitting Star Power fluctuations to slash his body.
As the wind blade passed.
The forest underfoot was split open by Zhe Si’s strike, yet Lu Lin merely brushed off his shoulder nonchalantly and looked at Zhe Si, asking:
"Is that it?"
Zhe Si, the Star General, had never seen a human as arrogant as Lu Lin.
If it were someone else, seeing so many Star Generals or even hearing the news, they would likely flee immediately. Yet Lu Lin acted as though he faced mere first-level Star Soldiers instead of Star Generals.
That attitude.
That gaze.
That fire of anger burning within Zhe Si’s heart couldn’t be concealed.
"Lu Lin, you’re courting death."
"Hurricane Tornado!"
"Always repeating these same two sentences, truly lacking in interest."
"In your next life, if you have the chance, go to middle school in our Human Federation to learn the art of verbal sparring, okay?"
"I assure you won’t hear the same thing for three days and nights straight."
Lu Lin scoffed, his body quickly retreating.
The power of the Hurricane Tornado seemed impressive, and he worried his body couldn’t withstand this attack.
"Zhe Si, you old thing, trying to hog it all for yourself."
"Damn it, Lu Lin is just one person, act quickly or be too late."
"Zhe Si, who would’ve thought you’d be playing this revenge game for your son while truly wanting to hog Lu Lin all for yourself, such wickedness!"
"Lu Lin, don’t leave, take a hit from your grandpa’s staff."
The other Star Generals from different races, who had been standing aside watching the spectacle, wised up one by one when Zhe Si, without saying a word, used his secret move.
Zhe Si’s revenge for his son was fake; his real motive was to take Lu Lin for himself.
Cunning.
So damn cunning.
At this moment, the many Star Generals didn’t care whether they could actually hit Lu Lin, but they couldn’t let Zhe Si snatch the prize.
Suddenly, a variety of ultimate moves were unleashed from the hands of numerous Star Generals.
"Heavenly Hail."
"Raging Fire."
"Three-eyed Ray."
"Ghost Fire."
"Smoke-locked Pond Willow."
"Eight-Armed True Body."
"Withering of All Things."
"Pile Earth into Mountain!"
Wait, the friend who released Pile Earth into Mountain, please step back.
If I remember correctly, Lu Lin’s innate attribute is the Earth Element; could you be trying to help Lu Lin escape with that Star Skill?
Speaking of escaping, Star General experts from the Withered Wood and Qingmu Clans joined forces to keep the spatial channel below.
What if Lu Lin is Earth Element, with these two clans present, Lu Lin won’t be able to escape.
"Good, very good, excellent."
Lu Lin inwardly muttered, observing these alien Star Generals.
Each appeared formidable, most were mid-level or even late-level Star Generals.
What does this signify?
Innate Qi.
Having just slain a top-tier, seasoned Star General, Lu Lin’s cultivation had risen a level.
Now, facing so many expert Star Generals, if he could kill them all, their innate Qi might push Lu Lin’s cultivation to the Star Dust Ninth Layer or even beyond to the Star Core Period.
Lu Lin differed drastically from cultivators of alien or exotic beast races; having crossed into the Tianyuan Continent, he wasn’t restricted by any level cap rules.
As long as he had enough Innate Qi, Lu Lin could advance all the way to the Star Emperor Realm, potentially.
But!
Lu Lin understood he mustn’t wipe out all the Star Generals before him or even those ninth-level experts faintly visible from afar, arriving here all at once.
Lu Lin, raised to be thrifty and simple, knew well the concept of sustainable growth.
To slay more aliens and gather Innate Qi, Lu Lin couldn’t kill too fiercely at once.
Bit by bit, using an attrition strategy, each time making the alien races feel confident of victory, yet Lu Lin would slip away, thus maximizing benefits.
To continuously attract alien strongheads attempting ambushes under the belief, "Others may fail, but I surely won’t".
After all, despite Lu Lin being no bloodthirsty demon, he had no issue eliminating enemies in combat.
However, to cause trouble for alien Star Soldiers without a cause was something Lu Lin refused.
If he did, then alien Star Generals might open a spatial channel to disrupt the Human Federation from within.
"Tou Meng."
Lu Lin activated the master-servant contract within the Consciousness Universe, communicating with Tou Meng of the Eight-Armed Clan.
"Among these Star Generals, is there anyone you’re feuding with?"
"At your command, Master."
Tou Meng seemed to know what Lu Lin wanted to do, feeling extremely excited, but he wouldn’t forget his primary task.
"Master, that tall guy from the Withered Wood Clan over there, the Mountain Fire Clan with the feathered hat, and that one from the Ice Bone Clan, all these are my enemies."
"Alright."
Lu Lin responded briefly, his gaze searching through the field.
Soon, he located the three individuals mentioned by Tou Meng.
With a single teleportation.
Lu Lin appeared beside the tall guy from the Withered Wood Clan, striking with a punch. The opponent’s neck rotated 1080 degrees before returning to its original position.
At the same time, the star power from within Lu Lin, concealed within the landslide star skill, invaded the opponent’s body, destroying everything visible.
"Pfft!"
The tall Withered Wood Clan Star General spat out a mouthful of blood and instantly fell towards the ground.
When Lu Lin dealt with the four Eight-Armed Clan Star Generals earlier, he gained a rough understanding of their endurance capabilities, and this punch was Lu Lin’s experiment.
Unexpectedly, it was executed flawlessly.
Not a speck of extra strength was wasted, and Lu Lin had resolved the opponent.
His body quickly descended, and Lu Lin grabbed the Withered Wood Clan Star General’s corpse, storing it in his storage ring.
Now he didn’t have time to absorb the innate qi from his opponent’s body.
With time standing still inside the storage ring, Lu Lin didn’t have to worry about the innate qi dissipating.
"Lu Lin is here!"
Someone saw Lu Lin slay a Star General in one strike, horrified.
They kept retreating, yelling Lu Lin’s name, trying to alert other alien Star Generals to this location.
Lu Lin glanced at this ordinary beginner-level Ghost Wind Tribe, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.
Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.
Go back and train well, we’ll meet again naturally in the future.
Lu Lin teleported again, this time targeting the Mountain Fire Clan Star General with the feathered hat.
Hmm, Tou Meng chose well; this opponent has already reached the late stage of Star General.
Compared to the Withered Wood Clan and Tou Meng earlier, his strength is much greater, and of course, he contains more innate qi within him.
The late-stage Bird Feather Mountain Fire Star General, at the first moment Lu Lin teleported over, fired a... Mountain Fire Cannon at Lu Lin!
Lu Lin didn’t expect such a quick response from his opponent. It was too late to teleport.
He had to, face it head-on.
Earth Shattering, landslide.
With a punch, he shattered the massive stone engulfed in raging fire.
Yet the accompanying flames, like fireworks, quickly flew towards the surrounding Star Generals and the recently arrived ninth-level Star Soldiers.
"On fire."
"Help!"
Those ninth-level Star Soldiers couldn’t withstand such potent mountain fire, crying out in agony, jumping around, trying to extinguish the flames on them.
Lu Lin squinted his eyes.
Alright, Bird Feather Star General, you’ve caused trouble.
Big trouble.
All these ninth-level Star Generals were resources Lu Lin had reserved to absorb innate qi.
Now they’re dying from the aftereffects of the attack from the opponent.
It’s like money being taken from Lu Lin’s pocket and set on fire.
Intolerable.
Lu Lin teleported to Bird Feather Star General’s front.
Ten Steps Kill.
Lu Lin’s initial star martial.
The most familiar and currently the strongest combination.
Ten Steps Kill, Filling Sea.
This is the third state of Ten Steps Kill, and after Lu Lin comprehended the Han Yue realm, he soon understood the essence of Ten Steps Kill Filling Sea.
Using it now, not to mention a Star General, even followers of the Star Core Period from the Wild Blade Clan wouldn’t escape unscathed.
"Swoosh."
One slash.
The Bird Feather Star General was cut in two by Lu Lin, his head and left shoulder falling diagonally downward.
The right shoulder and lower body paused briefly in mid-air before beginning to descend.
How could Lu Lin let such a good corpse escape?
Though being split open would waste some innate qi from the Star General’s body, Lu Lin needed to minimize losses promptly.
Lurking at the outermost edge of the Star General circle, Tou Meng watched Lu Lin effortlessly dispatch two of his nemeses, too shocked to utter a single word.
One punch killed the tall Withered Wood Clansman.
One slash bisected the Mountain Fire Clan’s Bird Feather.
This was Tou Meng’s first time witnessing Lu Lin’s real combat power.
Compared to a month ago, Lu Lin inexplicably grew stronger again.
Previously, Lu Lin, without the power of a Titled King, managed to slay several alien Star Generals, which had already amazed The God of Black Shark and increased his efforts in searching for Lu Lin.
He knew that with a talent like Lu Lin, given some time, his cultivation and combat power would develop rapidly.
But The God of Black Shark would never have guessed how fast Lu Lin progressed.
Now, Lu Lin, in a one-on-one battle against a Star General, could achieve an instant kill.
This was extremely rare on the Tianyuan Continent.
Even in the fiercest years of conflict between aliens and exotic beasts, not more than ten Star Generals were instantly killed.
After all, instant kills are much harder than killing during combat.
At the beginning of a fight, everyone is at their peak of star power, spirit, and stamina.
Except for those careless enough to be instantly taken out, an instant kill between equals is exceedingly rare unless there’s a huge gap in ability.
No matter how rare, this couldn’t hold true for Lu Lin.
This guy was simply abnormal.
Thinking of this, Tou Meng shared his suggestion with Lu Lin in his mind, and after getting his consent, he suddenly shouted.
"Brothers, Lu Lin is too monstrous; he has already killed the tall one from the Withered Wood Clan and the Bird Feather of the Mountain Fire Clan."
"Quick, send some brothers back to report to the Divine Lord."
"Only the Divine Lord can handle Lu Lin now."
In the midst of chaos, many Star Generals and ninth-level Star Soldiers were startled awake by Tou Meng’s words.
In just a brief moment, they hadn’t even spotted Lu Lin’s figure, yet two Star Generals had tragically died at his hands.
Lu Lin, this one, truly terrifying.
