In the dense forest, Lin Huang sprinted all the way, breaking trees one after another as he headed straight for the top of the mountain.
According to the description of this round's assessment rules, Golden Crow Mountain was actually a world of its own with an abnormal Space Rule. As long as the Ten Palaces did not appear, Lin Huang would not reach the top of the mountain even if he sprinted at his fastest speed for a million years.
Furthermore, the Ten Palaces were not located anywhere on this mountain. Only by defeating the God's Servants under the swordmaster's bodyguard would the corresponding swordmaster's bodyguard arrive with the palace.
From the Tenth Palace onward, only by obtaining the swordmaster's bodyguard's approval could one enter the next palace's challenge.
To put it simply, the entire process was to defeat the God's Servant under Sword10 — the Tenth Palace would arrive — obtaining Sword10's approval (by killing, defeating, or subduing in any other way) — defeat the God's Servant under Sword9 — the Ninth Palace would arrive — obtaining Sword9's approval … This would repeat until Sword1 from the First Palace was approved. Only then would the final assessment be considered completed.
Although this stage of the Trial did not suppress Divine Telekinesis, when Lin Huang extended his Divine Telekinesis, he could only scan the endless flora and fauna. He did not sense the existence of a single monster.
Therefore, he chose to sprint in the dense forest, even causing destruction on purpose and making noise. His goal was to trigger the Trial as soon as possible and speed up the appearance of the God's Servants.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be careful and minimize their movements to avoid being surrounded and killed by the God's Servants. Then, they would look for the God's Servants and defeat them one by one, steadily and surely.
However, Lin Huang had no such worries at all. Instead, he hoped that all the God's Servants would gather at once. That way, he could kill them all at once and save time.
His method of deliberately creating a commotion worked very quickly. In less than a minute, a few powerful auras appeared out of nowhere and approached Lin Huang at lightning speed.
"Only four of them?" As soon as the auras appeared, Lin Huang's Divine Telekinesis sensed them immediately. He could clearly sense that these four auras were even more powerful than Sword12.
This did not mean that their overall abilities were definitely more powerful than Sword12's. It was just that the unsealing of Martial Dao true meaning and God Rule Power had directly caused their auras to elevate significantly.
As soon as the four auras appeared, Lin Huang stopped walking. He held his battle sword and waited patiently for their arrival.
A few breaths later, the four Divine Servants arrived at almost the same time.
Lin Huang did not even wait for the other party to make a move. He only saw the first person appear and immediately drew his saber.
His first move was Thunder Eclipse, which had reached its peak speed.
The blood-red sword gleam shot out like a bolt of lightning. Not only was it a full-powered Divine Power, but it also contained Sword Dao true meaning and the God Rule Power of the God-slaying Power.
He didn't hold back at all in this strike.
The attacker did not expect Lin Huang to attack so directly, nor did he expect his saber to be so swift and fierce.
It was already too late for him to dodge or resist.
The blood-red saber radiance swept through the void like a bolt of Thunder, instantly piercing through the opponent's body. A huge head with six eyes was sent flying.
The majestic figure that was running forward also came to an abrupt halt. He only stood there for a moment while spurting out blood before falling to the ground.
In just an instant, one of the four Divine Servants had been killed.
The remaining three immediately stopped in their tracks, not daring to come any closer. They looked at Lin Huang with fear.
Sensing that his vitality was fading rapidly, Lin Huang did not even look at the headless corpse. Instead, he glanced at the remaining three.
These three Divine Servants were not in normal human form.
One could even say that they looked strange.
However, it was not difficult for Lin Huang to understand. All Protoss had a human form, but most Protoss did not care to become someone else's God's Servant.
Being a God's Servant meant that one would become a vassal and lose most of their freedom.
Under normal circumstances, only a small number of people would voluntarily become a God's Servant under a powerful powerhouse. Most of the God's Servants were forced to sign a contract. Usually, they would die if they did not sign, so they had no choice but to lower their heads.
Lin Huang did not know what kind of God's Servants these three were, but he could basically confirm that their abilities were most likely not as strong as Sword10's in the past.
Among the three monsters, one of them was a female.
She had the body of a praying mantis, but her entire body was purplish-black. Her upper body, which went up from the waist, was a humanoid female. She even had a pair of breasts that were almost the same as a human female's. The only difference from a human was that her arms were slightly similar to a praying mantis's blade-like limbs. Below her waist were four long, twisted insect legs that supported her body. One could tell that she had great leaping and explosive power just by looking at her.
Of the remaining two male monsters, one was an orc with a feline's head covered in tiger stripes and four big eyes. The other was a giant black hound beast with five heads and three tails.
Lin Huang only glanced at them briefly and soon locked onto the mantis lady.
This was because she looked like she had the weakest defense.
As soon as he locked onto his target, Lin Huang attacked again. The battle sword in his hand turned into a blood-red electric gleam as it shot through the air.
It was still Thunder Eclipse!
One could only kill the enemy as quickly as possible by using this rapid speed skill.
In the air, the blood-red gleam shot out like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the mantis lady.
However, the mantis lady, who had seen her companion being killed, was already prepared. She moved almost at the same time the electric gleam appeared. The four wings on her back fluttered slightly, and god rule power was added to them. She exerted force on her four legs and leaped up, easily dodging Lin Huang's attack.
A move like Thunder Eclipse was most suitable for sneak attacks. In a situation where the opponent was already prepared, it would be difficult to unleash the effect of a one-hit kill.
After missing his attack, Lin Huang realized his mistake. He had only considered that the mantis lady had the weakest defense, but he had not expected her to have such terrifying movement speed.
It was not that he had not considered the issue of movement speed before he attacked. Instead, he had felt that given the speed of his Thunder Eclipse, not many people would be able to dodge it even if he attacked head-on.
The mantis lady's speed had clearly surpassed the limits of an ordinary virtual god-level.
"A speed-type god rule?" Although he could not be sure what kind of god rule his opponent had mastered, Lin Huang was very sure that she had used a speed-type god rule earlier.
After a moment of thought, Lin Huang glanced at the other two God's Servants and quickly made up his mind.
The next instant, the blood-red electric gleam on the sword lit up again. However, this time, Lin Huang did not attack. The blood-red electric gleam grew brighter and brighter. Within the span of a few breaths, it was so bright that one could not look at it directly. It was like a red sun, spawning countless blood-red electric arcs in all directions.
The mantis lady and the rest wanted to attack, but they were blocked by the electric arcs. They dared not approach Lin Huang.
Meanwhile, the initially clear sky above Lin Huang's head was now covered in a layer of dark clouds. The thick, dark clouds covered the entire sky, plunging the day into complete darkness.
However, blood-red electric gleams could be faintly seen flashing above the dark clouds.
"Initially, I didn't want to waste my Divine Power on this move, but speed-type god rules are very troublesome. You can escape if you're not careful. In order to make sure all of you stay here, I can only choose this indiscriminate attack … "
As he murmured, Lin Huang swung his sword again.
The moment the tip of his sword pointed at the mantis lady from afar, the glaring blood-red sun exploded, turning into countless electric arcs that spread in all directions like a tide.
At the same time, the blood-red Thunder in the dark clouds in the sky rained down like a storm, turning the entire space into a purgatory of Thunder!
