Seeing the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son guarding the entrance to the ruins, Lin Huang could not relax at all.
What he was most worried about was that someone would be guarding the entrance to the ruins, and the last thing he wanted to see had happened. Moreover, it was worse than he had imagined.
Among the Abyssal creatures, the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son's combat strength was at the top.
If it was just an ordinary ninth-rank True God, Lin Huang would not be afraid because he had a Provisional Combat Strength Upgrade Card in his hand, which was enough to raise his strength to ninth-rank True God.
However, although the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son in front of him had ninth-rank True God combat strength, even if his strength was not as good as a Heavenly God's, it was probably not far off.
Faced with an unprecedented enemy, Lin Huang frantically thought of countermeasures.
At this time, the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son did not attack but asked Lin Huang and the other two, "Have you seen the Bug Tribe in these ruins?"
"No." Lin Huang denied it directly without thinking.
The Demonic Buddhist Holy Son curled his lips again. "You're lying."
"Little black-haired brother, you denied my question too quickly. Almost without thinking, he gave a negative answer. "
"If you really haven't seen the Bug Tribe, you should have had some doubts when I asked this question just now, and there would have been at least a moment of hesitation when answering. You would certainly have wondered why I asked such a question, and you would also be curious about why the Bug Tribe would appear in this Abyssal ruins. However, you didn't show any doubts, as if you already knew that the Bug Tribe was in these ruins …
"So I deduced that you have either seen the Bug Tribe in these ruins … or you're in cahoots with this group of Bug Tribe members!"
Lin Huang thought for a moment, followed the other party's train of thought, and gave a new response.
"Alright, I admit that we've seen the Bug Tribe. I denied it before because I didn't want to get involved in the matter between you and the Bug Tribe.
"As for your second deduction, it's complete nonsense. When have you ever seen us Protoss mingling with Bug Tribe creatures? "
The Demonic Buddhist Holy Son thought for a moment, then spoke again. "Alright, I'll take it that you're telling the truth this time.
"Among the three of you, I will let whoever is the first to provide information about the Insectoids leave alive. As for the other two, I can only apologize. "
Lin Huang originally wanted to avoid conflict as much as possible. That was why he lied to the insectoids to distance himself from them. However, the other party's attitude was very clear. Regardless of whether the three of them were related to the insectoids or not, he did not intend to be kind.
Although he said that he would let one person go, it was unlikely that he would fulfill his promise. If that was the case, then it was most likely just to get some useful information out of him.
After confirming his opponent's attitude, Lin Huang knew that this battle was unavoidable.
He quietly communicated with the two Sword Servants through the contract message.
"The two of you retreat from the battle first. I'll hold him back. You two find an opportunity to leave the ruins quickly!"
"Lord Swordmaster, I'm afraid his strength is close to the Heavenly God Stage …" Dao 301 was worried about leaving Lin Huang alone.
"I have a way to save my life and escape. If you don't leave, not only will you not be able to help, but you'll also be a burden to me." Lin Huang was not worried about whether he could escape or not. He was worried that the two Sword Servants would be killed.
After all, there was a huge gap between third-rank and ninth-rank combat strength. In addition, the Sword Servants' strength was limited by the contract. With Dao 301 and Sword302's current state, they would only be killed instantly by the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son. There was no other possibility.
Only if the two of them successfully escaped would he be able to find a way to get out of the battle without being hindered.
Although he was worried about leaving the swordmaster to face a powerhouse like the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son alone, the two Sword Servants also knew that what Lin Huang said was true. If they stayed, they would only be a burden.
The two of them had no choice but to obey Lin Huang's instructions.
The exchange of contract messages was also a form of communication at the consciousness level. It seemed like the two sides had talked for a long time, but in fact, only a moment had passed.
After persuading the two Sword Servants, Lin Huang finally focused his full attention on the enemy in front of him.
Three Provisional Combat Strength Upgrade Cards quietly appeared in his hand. With two fingers moving slightly, he crushed the three cards. The cards turned into three golden rays invisible to others and submerged into his body.
The next second, his combat strength began to soar!
Virtual God rank-4!
Virtual God rank-5!
Virtual God rank-6!
As early as when he was at Virtual God rank-3, his strength was already enough to hunt down most sixth-rank True Gods. Now that his combat strength had soared by three minor levels, his strength had also been elevated to the level of a ninth-rank True God.
Naturally, the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son could not see through Lin Huang's true combat strength under Thousand Face's disguise. He only thought that Lin Huang had elevated from third-rank true god-level to sixth-rank true god-level in one go. Moreover, he faintly sensed danger from Lin Huang.
This sense of danger did not make him want to retreat. Instead, it made him even more excited.
"You're just a mere sixth-rank, but you can actually make me feel threatened. Your strength is very good. I just don't know how long this temporary increase in combat strength can last. "
"It's enough to last until the end of this battle!" Lin Huang gripped the bladeless hilt with his right hand, and the blade quickly condensed into a long, narrow, bloody blade.
"The blade isn't bad either. It seems that you have quite a high status and identity in the God Territory. My favorite thing to do is to hunt geniuses like you, read your brains, and explore your secrets … "
As the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son spoke, Lin Huang had already pushed the God Rule Power and Elemental Enlightenment on the blade to the limit.
His figure turned into a bolt of red lightning and attacked in an instant!
This strike was the fastest he had ever executed in his life.
The long, narrow blade, which was fully enhanced with Seraphic Speed and various rapid speed type Enlightenment, was as fast as a real Electric Thunder streaking across the sky. Almost at the same instant the blade was unleashed, it was already in front of the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son.
Just as the tip of Lin Huang's blade approached his opponent's face and was about to penetrate his brain, the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son suddenly slashed through the void with one hand, bringing with it a series of afterimages as he pointed a finger.
The golden fingertip instantly intercepted the blood-colored blade's continued advance.
The sensation that came from Lin Huang's hand was as if the tip of the blade was facing a shield of the same quality, preventing him from advancing even an inch.
"Your speed is alright, but it's still a long way from the limits of true god-level."
After giving such an evaluation, the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son flicked his finger, and his fingertip once again touched the blood-colored blade.
At this moment, Lin Huang only felt a huge force coming from the tip of the blade, and the battle blade in his hand almost fell out of his hand. His right arm, which was holding the blade, went numb, and his entire body was suddenly sent flying backward.
"So powerful!"
In this first head-on confrontation, Lin Huang fully experienced his opponent's strength.
"With your sixth-rank combat strength, it's already very good to have this kind of ability. However, with this kind of ability, you can still put up a fight against ordinary ninth-rank powerhouses, but it won't be enough if you encounter an ultimate ninth-rank powerhouse.
"There's still a lot of room for improvement in the level of your Sword Dao true meaning, as well as the number of god rules and Elemental Enlightenments you've mastered.
"However, it's a pity that you won't have this kind of opportunity to improve again …"
Before he finished speaking, the Demonic Buddhist Holy Son's figure disappeared from where he stood, and when he reappeared, he was already less than ten meters in front of Lin Huang.
He waved his hands "slowly", but it was as if he had grown thousands of arms in an instant, and each pair of arms turned into layers of waves that slapped forward.
The endless golden palm shadows expanded as they came into contact with the wind. At first, they were only the size of an ordinary palm, but with every inch that was pushed forward, they skyrocketed several times in size. When they were about to reach Lin Huang, the golden palm shadows that filled the sky had already blotted out the sun, and in an instant, Lin Huang's figure was completely drowned …
