There were too many trial-takers, and no matter how strong the Giant King was, it was difficult to block them all. Its huge body was cut with countless wounds, and the forest on its back also cracked. The Giant King roared, clapped its palms, and directly slapped one person to death, their blood splashing into the swamp. Then it slapped again towards the front, its target clearly the two beautiful women.
The two women's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately retreated. But the Giant King seemed to have locked onto them, willing to endure the attacks of others to kill them.
"Hey, over there! Quick, save them!" someone shouted, hoping Lu Yin would make a move.
Amu was startled and quickly looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin did not respond.
Someone was anxious and continuously attacked the Giant King, shouting as they fought, "Over there! They are from the Butterfly Shadow Race! If you save them, you can gain the goodwill of the Butterfly Shadow Race! And I have money, I'll give you everything in my spatial ring!"
Lu Yin still didn't move.
Zhuo Baiye glanced at him, her expression calm.
"Over there—" This time, before the person could finish speaking, they were slapped to death by the Giant King. The entire swamp seemed to tremble. The Giant King's hand reached into the bottom of the swamp, forcefully pulled out a strange giant snake, and fiercely swung it at the two Butterfly Shadow Race women. The two women were horrified, their bodies hit by the giant snake, and they flew out spitting blood. One of them died directly.
Lu Yin calmly watched this scene.
He had promised Amu he wouldn't make a move, so he wouldn't.
"Attack together!" one person shouted. More than a dozen trial-takers attacked at the same time, and countless attacks landed on the Giant King's body. The Giant King's body was pierced by several powerful attacks. It roared unwillingly, its two legs kneeling on the ground, its head lowered, panting heavily.
"Again! He can't take it anymore!" that person shouted excitedly. The people around attacked again.
Lu Yin's eyes were fixed on the Giant King. The third eye? Elder Cai had said there was a third eye, so there definitely was. But why hadn't he seen it yet?
Just as everyone was about to kill the Giant King, a black shadow streaked past. In the next instant, black feathers were embedded in the foreheads of more than a dozen trial-takers. They fell to the ground, dead beyond dead. The black shadow passed by everyone and grabbed at the Giant King's forehead with one hand.
The Giant King suddenly raised its head and roared, a shockwave sweeping out. The black shadow's figure moved, vanished into the void, and reappeared less than 10 meters away.
The Giant King was not exhausted and still retained considerable combat power. It was pretending.
This scene left the surrounding trial-takers unable to react. The black shadow attacked again. Zhuo Baiye also made a move, her red longsword slashing towards the Giant King. Lu Yin threw Amu out of the swamp and attacked at the same time, raising his palm for a Ninefold Nine-Wave Palm.
All three attacks made the Giant King's scalp tingle. It could instinctively feel the threat and decisively plunged its head into the swamp. The three attacks missed, but they collided in the void. A crack spread from the void into the distance, making everyone who saw this scene terrified. This was a spatial crack! The attack of the three had cracked the void, a terrifying power.
The Ninefold Nine-Wave Palm of Lu Yin, the moment the ninth explosion sounded, simultaneously pushed back Zhuo Baiye and the black shadow. The three of them landed.
Only then did Lu Yin see the true face of the black shadow. It was a man with a pale face.
Zhuo Baiye glanced at the black-robed man in surprise. She hadn't expected a small territorial trial in the Outerverse to produce two peer-level experts who could compare to her. It was too unexpected.
The black-robed man had no expression. His eyes looked at the bottom of the swamp, and his body sank down.
Lu Yin also didn't want him to make a move. Although the Giant King's strength was strong, it was no match for any of the three of them. Whether it was Zhuo Baiye or this black-robed man, they both had the strength to kill the Giant King. It would be troublesome if he made a move.
With this thought, Lu Yin used Void Flash to appear beside the black-robed man and grabbed at him with a claw, ninety-six forms of the Heavenly Beast Claw. The black-robed man's expression didn't change, and he threw a punch. With a thud, a shockwave swept in all directions, scraping off a layer of the swamp, the strong wind forcing the dozen or so trial-takers around to retreat.
Zhuo Baiye took advantage of the battle between Lu Yin and the black-robed man to stab her sword into the bottom of the swamp. Sword shadows spread through the void, and the White Void Sword appeared again, sealing a hundred-meter radius with the sword, similar to a Domain.
This one sword strike directly split open the swamp and even cut off one of the Giant King's arms, causing it to roar in pain.
The black-robed man's figure vanished and rushed at Zhuo Baiye. Zhuo Baiye's red longsword swept across, cutting through the black-robed man's afterimage. In the opposite direction, several black feathers stabbed towards her. Zhuo Baiye dodged at extreme speed. At this time, the Giant King leaped out of the swamp and jumped again, rushing out of the swamp.
Zhuo Baiye and the black-robed man attacked at the same time. The red longsword and the black feathers descended, all hitting the Giant King. The Giant King's body was pierced through, and it fell weakly to the ground, slamming heavily into the muddy soil of the swamp.
Both Zhuo Baiye and the black-robed man were determined to get the Giant King. Lu Yin didn't know the reason but guessed it might be related to the third eye. Immediately, the two of them landed on the forest on the Giant King's back. Lu Yin used Void Flash and appeared in the sky. On the other side, more than ten trial-takers came forward, attempting to deliver the final blow to the Giant King.
Lu Yin waved his hand, and his Star Energy swept out, injuring all of the more than ten Melting Realm trial-takers. "Anyone who comes forward dies."
The low voice echoed in the swamp, making those trial-takers afraid. They couldn't imagine why, being in the same Melting Realm, the gap was so large. This person's strength could easily crush the peak Limiteer Realm Giant King. In the entire Butterfly Shadow territory, perhaps no one could compare.
On the other side, Amu appeared not far from the surviving Butterfly Shadow Race woman, his eyes icy. His originally timid gaze had also become ferocious. He stared at the woman.
The woman was already severely injured and could not move. There was no one else around. Immediately, Amu walked over. Her expression was fearful. "Stop! Don't come near me! You half-breed, stop!"
Amu walked to the woman's side, a broken sword appearing in his hand. He gripped it and, without hesitation, stabbed it into the woman's chest. Blood stained the black mud of the swamp.
The woman's pupils dilated, her face full of pain. She stared at Amu with hatred, and finally, her gaze dimmed, and she died completely.
Amu went limp on the ground and closed his eyes. "Mother, she is the first, but she won't be the last. Rest assured, Amu will definitely take this revenge."
Boom!
A loud bang, and the forest on the Giant King's back shattered. Zhuo Baiye was sent back by a great force, stopping in mid-air, her red longsword hanging down. The next moment, a hundred-meter radius was once again filled with sword shadows, and then a sword slashed towards the black-robed man on the Giant King's back.
The black-robed man suddenly turned around, his gaze chillingly cold, making one shiver. He raised his arm, and a layer of black substance spread out, gradually covering the void and blocking Zhuo Baiye's path. Zhuo Baiye's red longsword slashed at the black substance, making a creepy sound, and an icy aura filled the surroundings.
Lu Yin was surprised. That was ice. That person actually had an ice talent, and not an ordinary ice, but black ice, extremely cold.
Zhuo Baiye's sword cut through the black ice and descended before the black-robed man, but its power was greatly weakened. In the end, it was sent flying by the black-robed man's punch. Her red longsword also left her hand because it couldn't withstand the great force and stabbed into the swamp in the distance, constantly shaking.
Zhuo Baiye was defeated.
After defeating Zhuo Baiye, the black-robed man raised his fist again to strike at the Giant King. Lu Yin used Void Flash to approach and kicked out. The black-robed man had anticipated it, and his fist changed direction to punch at Lu Yin. This punch was completely different from before; it distorted the void from the very start.
With a thud, an arc-shaped shockwave swept through the swamp, pressing the Giant King to the bottom. In the distance, the minds of the trial-takers buzzed, and they all spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated again.
Blood trickled from the corner of Zhuo Baiye's mouth as she looked at this scene in surprise. That black-robed man's punch that had repelled her was too terrifying, far exceeding his previous attack intensity. But it clearly couldn't repel that person. That person was still hiding his strength.
Lu Yin and the black-robed man followed the Giant King and fell to the bottom of the swamp. The surging Star Energy pushed away the mud. The two of them stared at each other.
The black-robed man probably hadn't expected Lu Yin to be able to block his punch. When the two of them landed at the bottom of the swamp at the same time, he pointed one hand at Lu Yin, and black ice immediately spread out, freezing the entire bottom of the swamp.
The extremely cold aura caused a layer of frost to condense even above the swamp. The trial-takers all shivered at the same time.
Lu Yin was covered by the black ice. This kind of ice was extremely hard and cold. If it were another Melting Realm expert, even many Limiteer Realm experts of the Astral Combat Academies would be helpless. But Lu Yin just raised his right hand, his palm covered with Battle Qi, and fiercely grabbed the hard ice. With a smack, the hard ice shattered.
The black-robed man was surprised and let out a hoarse voice. "Battle—Qi."
Lu Yin frowned. This person's tone of speech was very strange, as if he had just learned to speak. But he didn't pay it any mind. He used Void Flash to approach the black-robed man, raised his palm, and on top of his Battle Qi, eight stars shone. The Heavenly Star Palm and Battle Qi were perfectly combined. As he struck out with a palm, the black-robed man's pupils contracted, and his body was fiercely slammed into the ground by Lu Yin, even pushing the Giant King aside.
There was only a rumbling sound in the swamp. The place where the two had landed suddenly collapsed, and then the mud from all directions poured in, forming a kind of earth vortex.
In the distance, Amu looked at this scene in shock. The other trial-takers didn't even dare to get close.
Zhuo Baiye's eyes were fixed on the swamp.
During the ten-academy new student competition before, Lu Yin had defeated Hei Xu with one palm by combining the Ninefold Nine-Wave Palm with Battle Qi. And the Ninefold Nine-Wave Palm was at most comparable to the seven-star Heavenly Star Palm, far inferior to the eight-star. Today, he had struck the black-robed man with an eight-star Heavenly Star Palm combined with Battle Qi. He didn't believe this person was unbeatable.
Lu Yin landed on the Giant King's back, thinking where the third eye could be. From underground, a soul-shaking power swept out.
His expression changed, and he looked at the ground with a grave expression. That black-robed man was slowly climbing up from the muddy earth. The black robe on his body had been torn, revealing his sturdy muscles. The place where he had been hit by Lu Yin's palm should have had a clear palm print caved in, but because his muscles were slowly wriggling, the palm print automatically disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yin's expression darkened. Too unexpected! This person's body was terrifyingly strong. He didn't know where the limit of his own body was, but the limit of the person in front of him seemed not so easy to break.
The black-robed man suddenly looked up, revealing a pair of crimson vertical eyes.
In an instant, a chill ran down Lu Yin's back, and his hair stood on end. These eyes made his expression change drastically. This was... a Corpse King! A Corpse King from the Neo-Human Alliance! This person was a Corpse King from the Neo-Human Alliance!
Roar!
An inhuman roar came out. The black-robed man forcefully rushed at Lu Yin and threw a punch, the void distorting and cracking.
