Chapter 140 Sneak Attack
Chapter 140 Sneak Attack
"Don't get distracted. Haven't you noticed that when an enemy makes such a commotion, it's usually to cover something up?"
As Lin Yao's voice rang in Xiao Xiuwen and Yu Yufei's ears, it was like an alarm bell, instantly pulling them back from their wandering thoughts.
The next moment, a loud explosion occurred not far away, like a thunderclap landing, deafeningly loud.
"boom!"
Lin Yao remained calm as he swiftly slapped his palm, which was wrapped in true energy, behind him. In an instant, the slap transformed into a massive energy palm.
And right in front of the energy palm, a figure appeared.
Faced with the howling wind that swept in, despair appeared in its eyes. Before it could even utter a sound, it was slammed to the ground by the giant energy hand as if it were swatting a fly.
The palm and the ground were intertwined with the figure of the enlightened being, and the loud noise made it clear that the figure had suffered a great blow.
Click~
The dust kicked up by the giant energy hand slamming into the ground obscured the scene. The four onlookers could only hear a series of cracking sounds as bones broke, which sent chills down their spines.
In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, the seemingly ordinary Lin Yao took down an enemy who had launched a sneak attack.
Deep within his dark eyes, a wisp of golden flame spun slowly, like a mysterious golden nebula vortex, carrying some inexplicable power.
However, Lin Yao didn't glance at the body, which was already dead with its bones shattered. Instead, he slowly raised his head and looked at the two enemies who were staring at him with cold and solemn expressions in their eyes.
In Lin Yao's view, the person who attacked him was just a minor character who, at most, had some skill in stealth and could barely make any progress in the area of sneak attacks.
It's a stealth technique that can conceal itself from the detection of Foundation Establishment Realm experts, which is quite valuable. If it weren't for encountering Lin Yao, it would definitely have played a very strong role in the battle.
However, this time they've really bitten off more than they can chew.
The stealth technique that had previously been invincible was undoubtedly the most dazzling light bulb in Lin Yao's eyes. Thinking of hiding one's tracks was simply overestimating one's abilities.
Furthermore, launching a sneak attack without even conducting any reconnaissance and engaging in close combat is undoubtedly suicidal.
This is the physical strength forged through the inheritance of the top-grade Earth-level Suppressing Demon Body Technique.
Lin Yao's intervention might even create a small flaw in a high-grade magic weapon that is extremely rare even for ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm experts.
The enemy combination this time is quite interesting: a totem warrior who controls an explosive puppet, his body covered in purple and black totems, like a vengeful demon ready to devour anyone.
An old woman, fused with venomous insects, was surrounded by the constant hissing of these insects, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
There is also an assassin who seems ordinary, but possesses the secret techniques to evade detection by Foundation Establishment Realm experts.
With such strength, he could easily defeat a team composed of Foundation Establishment Realm experts, yet he still thought of launching a sneak attack.
Indeed, the cultivation world has lost its traditional values.
On the other side, the two enemies opposite them looked extremely ugly.
The totem warriors' totems grew increasingly purplish-black, and the poisonous insects on the old woman's body squeaked, indicating that they were extremely unsettled.
It turns out they were only thinking about taking care of these three newbies in the easiest way possible, so they chose to use a sneak attack to take them down.
But now, he's been killed by a guy who looks like a pretty boy.
Even though the teammate who launched the sneak attack was an expert in stealth and a specialist in that area within the guild, he was otherwise quite unremarkable.
However, since they dared to launch a sneak attack and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, they must possess the explosive power of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Even if a sneak attack succeeds, a Golden Core cultivator who has just formed their core and has not yet stabilized their internal energy and mana could suffer a great loss.
Even if he failed, he could still pose a threat to the Golden Core Realm cultivators, making them hesitant and thus able to mediate. But now he never expected to be killed in one blow.
"No, something's wrong with his eyes! It's because of those eyes that he was able to so easily survey the surroundings and expose that guy."
"It can be integrated into the body to enhance the flames in the eyes. Could it be one of those rare and precious flames that are hard to come by in the cultivation world?"
These two hostile reincarnators were quite knowledgeable, and they quickly noticed the unusual look in Lin Yao's eyes, which stirred up a storm in their hearts.
This enemy clearly has a powerful background and a deep-rooted legacy. They are someone favored by the forces behind them and are arguably the one they least want to encounter in the mission space of Bright Moon's Radiance.
These kinds of opponents are not only extremely difficult to deal with, but they also have a variety of tricks up their sleeves. What's even more terrifying is that killing them might bring endless trouble.
It can be said that they started with the young and then moved on to the old, and it was endless.
Perhaps, if there is a powerful ancestor behind him, he might very well be killed by a giant energy palm that suddenly appears out of nowhere.
It can be said that even Golden Core Realm experts would have to think twice before encountering these guys with powerful backgrounds, let alone these newbies who barely managed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm through various means.
“This kid clearly has a powerful background, but fortunately we are currently on the border of the desolate city, at the junction of two countries. Even if there is an old monster behind him, we would not dare to make a move rashly.”
"Okay, but we have to be quick. Give it our all. If we can't beat them, we'll run away immediately. This kid is no pushover."
The old woman's gaze was cold as she nodded.
The two exchanged a brief conversation using a special secret method, and then quickly composed themselves.
At the same time, Xiao Xiuwen and Yu Yufei belatedly realized that there was an enemy lurking beside them that even they could not detect.
He broke out in a cold sweat, his back already soaked with sweat. He secretly rejoiced that he had followed Lin Yao, this "big brother," otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, although Lin Yao had just killed one person, the remaining two enemies were by no means ordinary, and it would still be very difficult for him to escape unscathed.
"Originally, this had nothing to do with you two, but since this kid killed my teammate, I'll give you two a chance. Now get out of here. This is a feud between the three of us, so don't meddle."
The old woman, covered in poisonous insects, suddenly spoke. Her eyes, filled with red veins, stared menacingly at Xiao Xiuwen and Yu Yufei. Her voice was like ice shards, chilling to the bone.
Do you think we're fools?
Upon hearing this, Yu Yufei and Xiao Xiuwen were taken aback at first, then their lips curled up. Adhering to the idea of not losing face even if they lost, they revealed a mocking smile and snorted coldly.
"Has your brain been damaged by poisonous insects? Do you need me to treat it?"
As seasoned veterans of the Reincarnation Space, both had experienced numerous life-or-death situations and were highly skilled. Through their own methods, their strength had already approached the early Foundation Establishment stage, and neither of them were incompetent.
Although he might be slightly inferior to the two opponents, his inner resilience and confidence were in no way weak, and he would not be easily intimidated by a few words.
"Okay, you're pretty stubborn. Just wait and see when my adorable babies enter your bodies. I hope you'll still be as tough as you are now."
Hearing the two men's mocking words, the old woman's face grew even darker, and without saying another word, she suddenly raised her hand.
The purplish-black magical power within his body surged forth, causing the poisonous insects surrounding him to instantly swell, splattering venom and resembling a poisonous cloud that seemed poised to engulf the three of them…
