While the two ladies were fighting, Lin Huang had been keeping his guard up to prevent himself from being attacked.
As expected, Xia Yu turned her attention back to him after she failed to attack Mu Lan.
Seeing that Xia Yu was looking at him, before she could attack, Lin Huang made up his mind and shouted.
"Tyrant!"
The next moment, Tyrant appeared out of nowhere and blocked Lin Huang's way. Its gigantic body completely blocked Lin Huang's sight, blocking Xia Yu's vision.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Tyrant, Xia Yu scoffed. Her claw that was initially aimed at Lin Huang turned into a palm and hit Tyrant's chest.
Based on what she had expected, a gold-level rank-3 monster, even if it was a mutated monster, would not be able to survive her attack.
However, as soon as her palm hit Tyrant's chest, Tyrant took a few steps back. However, there was only a layer of cracks that looked like spider webs on its chest. Furthermore, a powerful rebounding force was transmitted back to her, causing her to take a step back.
Xia Yu looked at Tyrant in shock. The spider webs on its chest were healing itself at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. Within a few breaths, it was completely healed.
"A double mutated monster with super strong defense and recovery ability!" Xia Yu's eyes lit up when she saw it.
Even Mu Lan was surprised to see that Tyrant did not die after being hit by the attack. She had just fought with Xia Yu and knew how powerful she was. Although she did not use her scythe and only used her palm, a gold-level rank-3 monster should not have been able to block it.
On the other hand, apart from Tyrant taking a few steps back, the wounds on its body healed itself. She knew that Tyrant was a double mutated monster.
"Its defense and recovery abilities are terrifying." Mu Lan could not help but exclaim.
"Lin Huang, you really surprised me!" The corners of Xia Yu's lips curled up. "Let me see how strong this big guy's defense is."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yu swung the giant sickle in her hand again.
However, at this moment, a dark blue sword gleam tore through the void again and attacked Xia Yu at an extremely fast speed.
Xia Yu frowned and had no choice but to wave her hand to defend.
The black scythe tore through the air and slashed towards Mu Lan.
In the next moment, the huge black scythe collided with the blue longsword again.
Between the two weapons, gold and black Life Power collided with each other, producing a sizzling sound that sounded like an electric current.
A few moments later, the collision of the two Life Power reached its peak, and a loud explosion was heard.
Mu Lan retreated and landed on the ground again. All the impact was absorbed into the ground through the surface of her armor.
"Lady Mu, are you sure you want to pester me?" Xia Yu stared at Mu Lan coldly.
"Lin Huang belongs to the Hunters' Association. I won't let you take him away. Moreover, you're a transcendent. How can you bully a silver-level? "Mu Lan stood in front of Tyrant and refused to give in.
"Did I bully him? I think that the Hunters' Association can't train him well, so I've decided to bring him to the Heretics. I believe that he'll shine in the Heretics. Moreover, he hasn't passed the assessment yet, so he's not considered as a regular member of the Hunters' Association. "Xia Yu looked at Tyrant as if she was looking at a delicious piece of meat.
"Whether he's a regular member or not, he's a candidate that I'm responsible for. As his examiner, it's impossible for me to let you take him away. Also, you don't have to worry about the training of talents in the Hunters' Association. I believe that Lin Huang will have a bright future in the Hunters' Association. "Mu Lan interrupted Xia Yu.
"So, you're determined to stop me?" Xia Yu's face turned cold again.
"That's right." Mu Lan stared at Xia Yu without backing down.
"Very well, I didn't want to use some tricks, but you forced me to." Xia Yu said and put away the black sickle in her hand. She then performed a hand seal quickly.
Mu Lan's face changed. She immediately turned around and shouted at Lin Huang, "Lin Huang, run!"
"It's too late …" Lin Huang lifted his head and looked at the sky, his eyes filled with fear.
In the air, the thing had yet to appear, but its powerful aura was already spreading. The air of the entire Little Devil Island seemed to be filled with this terrifying aura.
Countless monsters were kneeling on the ground, trembling as if they were worshipping their king.
Even Tyrant, who was in front of Lin Huang, was trembling even though it was not kneeling on the ground.
As both of them watched, a giant golden sickle slowly formed in front of Xia Yu.
"Regal Relic – God's Punishment Sickle …" Mu Lan's face turned pale as she squeezed the words out of her mouth.
"This is the heretics' ultimate relic – God's Punishment Sickle. In the heretics, only the three saints and the presiding judge are able to activate it. " Xia Yu smiled as she looked at Mu Lan. "As for the sickle's characteristics, I'm sure you've heard about it?"
"It cuts through everything …" Mu Lan frowned.
"That's right, it cuts through everything. No matter if it's the five-star Serene Sea Sword that you're holding, the four-star Chakra Relic that you're wearing, or the big guy next to you with terrifying defensive abilities … One slash from the sickle will cut everything in half! "Xia Yu raised the golden sickle that was bigger than the previous one and pointed it at Mu Lan.
Lin Huang's expression changed when he heard that. He did not expect such a terrifying weapon to exist in this world.
As soon as Xia Yu was done speaking, she swung the golden sickle in her hand.
A golden glow appeared in front of Mu Lan out of nowhere. Mu Lan did not manage to dodge it at all. She did not even have time to defend herself as the golden glow cut her body.
"Am I killed?" Mu Lan looked down at the part of her body that was cut. She realized that only the Chakra Relic was disintegrating. She was not hurt at all.
"Don't worry, I'm just getting rid of your annoying Chakra Relic. Instead of killing you, it's better to capture you alive. You're ranked fourth on the Division7 Gold Hunter Leaderboard. You're one of the people that the Hunters' Association wants to train. It'll be a waste to kill you. If you're used by the heretics, your ability won't be weak when you level up to holy fire-level in the future. "Xia Yu's voice was heard coming from mid-air.
Lin Huang frowned as he thought about what to do. With the terrifying weapon that Xia Yu was holding, she would be able to kill any monster that he summoned with one slash. If he summoned Charcoal and Bai, they would just die in vain. They would not be able to solve the crisis at all.
On the other hand, Mu Lan was panicking. Xia Yu's God's Punishment Sickle was a killing weapon. Not only could it cut through everything, but it was also invisible. Even if she wanted to escape, it was impossible for her to do so given the current situation.
"Lady Mu, you'll have to say goodbye to your Serene Sea Sword for the next slash." Xia Yu smirked as she swung the golden sickle in her hand again.
Once again, a golden glow appeared in mid-air and struck the blue sword in Mu Lan's hand.
Right at this moment, a bolt of purplish-gold lightning suddenly shot over from afar and collided with the golden blade radiance.
Under the impact of the lightning, the golden blade radiance was dispersed in a single strike.
Soon after, a tall figure appeared next to Mu Lan.
It was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was a scar on the left side of his lips.
Lin Huang recognized him as soon as he saw him. He was the transcendent who fought with the Ghastly Clown outside Daxi City.
"Uncle Zhu Nian!" Seeing the middle-aged man, Mu Lan was surprised.
"Are you Zhu Nian?" Obviously, Xia Yu had heard of Zhu Nian before.
"I'm flattered that you know my name, Lady Saint." Zhu Nian smiled as he looked at the lady in mid-air.
"Of course, I have to remember the names of the six candidates who are going to be the chief executive officer in Division7." Fear flashed through Xia Yu's eyes as he knew that Lin Huang was going to be an immortal-level soon. As soon as he achieved immortal-level, he would immediately become the Great Executive Officer of the Hunters' Association. By then, his status would be completely different.
"Lady Saint, please don't make things difficult for the two juniors." Zhu Nian smiled as he looked at Xia Yu. By saying that, he was actually giving her a way out.
Xia Yu was a respectable person. If he really captured her, the heretics would start a war with the Hunters' Association. By then, not only Division7, but Division1 to Division12 would also be involved in a war.
Xia Yu knew that she could not bring anyone away as long as Zhu Nian was there. Moreover, Zhu Nian had given her face. She also knew that what he said was actually a hint, "It's time for you to stop and leave."
Since the mission had failed, there was no point for her to continue.
"Since Mr. Zhu Nian has spoken, I'll let it go this time." Xia Yu then looked at Lin Huang and Mu Lan. She smirked and said, "There's still a long way to go. I'll let the Hunters' Association take care of the two of them. I'll look for an opportunity in the future to bring the heretics back."
The latter part of his sentence was obviously provocative. Zhu Nian only smiled and did not say anything.
After putting away the golden scythe, Xia Yu summoned her dimensional relic in front of the three of them. She stepped into it and waved at them before the door closed.
Only when Xia Yu left, Lin Huang finally recalled Tyrant.
Zhu Nian looked at Lin Huang thoughtfully. He then said to the two of them, "Let's go back to the assessment site. Later, both of you will tell me everything that happened."
After bringing the two of them back to the assessment site, they released the captured candidates from the pseudo-black prison. Zhu Nian then began to ask about the entire incident.
Lin Huang and Mu Lan told him everything that happened. Zhu Nian nodded after listening to them.
"I'll report this to my superiors. Your assessment will have to be suspended for a while. Whether you want to continue or end the assessment will have to wait for further notice. During this period of time, stay on the island. "Zhu Nian quickly came up with a solution.
