Chapter 2100 - 1868: Gathering, Part 2
Giles pointed at Song Yun and the other eight, calmly saying, "To kill them, the three of us are more than enough. We don’t need anyone else’s help."
Bearded looked frustrated, "OK, we can’t argue with you."
Looking at these three peculiar guys, Song Yun’s mood grew heavier.
He always believed in this truth: the stranger someone is, the stronger they are.
Among these three, comparatively speaking, Bearded should be the weakest.
Then there’s the man releasing the electrode field.
The strongest, without a doubt, is that lunatic in the white coat named Giles.
"Who knows information about the Twelve Crowns?"
Song Yun took a step back, asking the others behind him, trying to understand the enemy’s situation.
Lin Jun and the others exchanged puzzled looks.
Juan Mao stepped forward and whispered, "When I was in the Golden Dragon Palace, I read some information on the Twelve Crowns."
Song Yun said, "Tell me about it."
Juan Mao replied, "The Twelve Crowns are not an organization, but a term to encapsulate twelve powerful Western masters."
"There’s no denying, anyone who can enter the Twelve Crowns is incredibly strong."
"Those twelve people are divided into several small groups, some don’t even know each other."
"These three in front of us, the bearded one is named Rodney, known for his strength."
"The one with instruments on his hands is named Hall, who can use the instruments to generate an electrode field, infusing it with True Qi."
"He has a nickname, the Electrode Man."
"The most dangerous is the one in the white coat, named Clark. He was once a surgeon, later caught stealing patients’ hearts, then eating them, and got arrested."
"While in prison, he used a toothbrush to kill all the inmates, collecting a total of thirty-two hearts, and was sentenced to execution by shooting."
"Later, at the execution site, he killed everyone, left with their hearts."
"When fighting him, be cautious of his scalpel."
Talking about Clark, Juan Mao’s face showed a serious expression.
"Young man, are you talking about me?"
Clark, hearing Juan Mao’s words, adjusted his glasses, a greedy look in his eyes.
It was as if in his eyes, he wasn’t seeing Song Yun’s nine people, but nine beating hearts.
"Things are getting tricky. You all leave first, I’ll deal with them."
Song Yun tightly gripped the black light broken sword, whispering to the others.
The remaining eight of the Nine Stars didn’t move.
Gu Man said in a deep voice, "Star Lord, didn’t we say we’d share hardships and progress together?"
"Yes, we did say so." Song Yun’s eyes showed appreciation, then shook his head, "But now, staying here will only cause me trouble. Don’t worry, even though all three of them are mid-SSS level, I can handle them. If you stay, you’ll not only be unhelpful but will also distract me."
Juan Mao paused, gritted his teeth and said, "Let’s go, we’ll meet up later via the locator watches."
The others, though reluctant, knew that Song Yun was right.
"Be careful."
"Make sure you stay alive."
Dongfang Yun and Gu Zi both solemnly reminded Song Yun, then turned and left with the others.
"Think you can escape?!"
Clark licked his lips, a bloodthirsty cold smile on his face. He moved, chasing after the eight people of the Nine Stars.
"Stop right there!"
Song Yun shouted angrily, unleashing the Void-breaking Palm.
A palm shadow appeared from the void, intercepting Clark’s path.
Although Song Yun’s realm was lower than Clark’s, the Void-breaking Palm’s destructive power far exceeded its rank, even stronger than mid-SSS level.
The Void-breaking Palm disregards distance within fifty meters.
Moreover, the enemy doesn’t know from which direction the Void-breaking Palm will emerge from the void.
One could say it is an absolute killer weapon.
Earlier, Rodney the bearded was able to save Zhong Junnan, and Hall the Electrode Man could use the electrode field to obstruct the Void-breaking Palm, all because they were prepared.
But this time, the Void-breaking Palm was suddenly unleashed.
Clark found it extremely difficult to evade this strike.
His body was very agile, but the Void-breaking Palm still grazed the white coat on his back, turning it to ash.
However, he could not care much about that, he pointed toward the departing Juan Mao, Dongfang Yun, and others, shouting to the Electrode Man, "Hall, help me stop them, there’s a treasure trove of eight hearts!"
Hearing Clark’s roar, Hall didn’t chase after Juan Mao and the others.
With an unhappy look, he said, "Clark, I’m not your subordinate, you have no right to order me."
"Fuck!"
Clark’s eyes widened, cursing in anger.
Bearded Rodney said: "Alright, stop arguing, you two. Those guys are useless, what’s the point of catching up."
Clark licked his lips, looking greedy: "But, they have eight hearts."
Rodney frowned and said: "If you want to eat hearts, wait until we come out of the Daxia Ruins, I’ll get you some."
Clark’s eyes lit up: "Bearded, don’t you dare go back on your word."
Hall said coldly: "Stop wasting time, let’s handle this kid first. That broken sword in his hand is a good thing."
Saying this, Hall’s eyes shone as he stared at the black light broken sword in Song Yun’s hand.
The next second, both of his instruments generated a powerful electric current, containing True Qi, released towards Song Yun.
The current was like lightning, making cracking sounds and lighting up the dark forest.
However, his current attack was still far from the speed of light.
As the current came at him, Song Yun used Phantom Step, swiftly moving away.
Crack.
The current hit the ground, creating a shallow pit with a diameter of one meter.
The surface was scorched black, emitting foul black smoke.
"With such skills, you think you can grab my sword? Aren’t you overconfident?"
A mocking voice rang out.
Song Yun looked at the three members of the Twelve Crowns, a cold smile full of fighting spirit on his lips.
He was neither afraid nor nervous.
On the contrary, he was brimming with fighting spirit.
To fight against three mid-sss level opponents on his own, was undoubtedly a test of his strength.
He was confident in this battle.
The ultra-fast speed of Phantom Step, surpassing mid-sss level, as long as he didn’t engage in close combat, he was virtually invincible.
Moreover, after advancing to sss-level, the black light broken sword could release more powerful Sword Qi, its attacks incredibly domineering.
Of course, his greatest trump card, was the Void-breaking Palm.
Void-breaking Palm could crush Dubian Zhenjian at early-sss level; facing mid-sss level, even if it didn’t kill, it could severely injure.
Therefore, Song Yun dared to challenge three mid-sss level opponents at early-sss level.
"Heh, kid, the one blindly overconfident is you."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Song Yun, it was Clark.
Song Yun sensed the killing intent from behind, like a sharp scalpel, keen and steady.
Clark’s scalpel stabbed towards Song Yun’s back.
A shadow flashed, Song Yun disappeared.
"Hmm, such fast speed!"
Clark raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise on his face.
At this moment, Bearded Rodney’s expression changed, shouting: "Clark, be careful, he’s behind you."
"Hmph!"
Clark snorted coldly, kicking backward.
His leg was long, seemingly transforming into a sharp scimitar, a flash of a leg shadow shot towards behind.
His reaction speed was fast enough, but still couldn’t match Song Yun’s Phantom Step.
The leg shadow missed, hitting a big tree.
The middle section of the tree collapsed into debris.
The suspended treetop fell to the ground with a crash.
"This kid’s speed is too fast!"
Bearded Rodney showed a serious expression, turning to look at Hall, shouting: "Hall, create an electrode magnetic field, trap that kid."
Hall dared not be careless anymore; even with their mid-sss level, if they couldn’t hit Song Yun, it was all for naught.
His instruments released powerful electric currents, quickly arranging several small disc-shaped instruments around, those instruments releasing streams of blue currents, linking together to form a huge electric net.
Soon, in the area where Song Yun, Hall, Rodney, and Clark were, a semicircular electric net with a diameter of fifty meters enveloped the space.
Currents crackled, a light burnt smell wafted in the air.
This space seemed to be imprisoned by currents.
"This thing, seems to be another piece of American high-tech."
Song Yun looked at the surrounding currents, realizing these currents were more stable and powerful than those Hall used for attacks.
Clearly, the small discs placed around were very precise instruments, containing powerful electrical energy.
On Earth, although human strength can be significant, compared to high-tech weapons, there’s still a gap.
For instance, Song Yun couldn’t withstand a missile.
But, perhaps after reaching a higher level, he might.
