Monster Paradise

Lin Huang put away Black Mountain and Spy’s corpses and turned his head to look at the other battlefield.

The fight between the three Raiders, Steel Fist, and Epic Player was coming to an end.

Two of the three Raiders were severely wounded.

A lady assisting in the battle was clearly a cultivator whose main path was God’s soul and Divine Telekinesis.

She had been using telekinetic flying daggers to interfere with Steel Fist and Epic Player. Not only that, she would launch spirit attack maneuvers every now and again.

Lin Huang immediately guessed the other party’s identity. She was most probably Babble, the one who had invaded Death Sickle and killed Sun Zhan.

Of the team Black Mountain had brought this time, this lady was the only one whose main cultivation path was God’s soul.

As if she sensed that the other fight over there had ended, Babble glanced at the battlefield on Lin Huang’s end and saw him weighing her up. Not only that, Black Mountain, Spy, and the other two middle-rank Lords were nowhere to be seen.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly sprang up on her back. She took only a moment to come to a decision and abandoned both her teammates without hesitation, beating a rapid retreat to try and escape the battlefield.

At that moment, the corners of Lin Huang’s mouth curled up in a faint smirk.

If the other party had not tried to run, it would have been rather impolite for him to interfere. After all, she was Steel Fist and Epic Player’s enemy.

However, now that she was fleeing, it gave him an excuse to attack.

It was not for the sake of plundering one more Goldfinger, but because she had killed the people in Death Sickle’s headquarters. Lin Huang felt that bringing her corpse back to Death Sickle would be a more fitting final destination for her.

If she had not fled and had ended up being killed by Steel Fist or Epic Player, it would have been awkward for him to ask for the body.

Babble moved at full speed. She only wanted to be able to escape the battlefield before the others noticed and then summon the dimensional portal.

However, before she had retreated less than a thousand kilometers away, a voice drifted to her ears.

“Where are you going?”

As soon as the voice finished speaking, a black cat appeared elegantly before her, blocking her way.

Its nine tails undulated like snakes, swaying in the starry sky.

At the same time, Babble felt herself pausing abruptly. Her body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force.

It was exactly like when they had just landed on the Devil Hunter Star Zone earlier.

‘A spatial bind?!’

Babble felt a sudden chill in her heart, and her pupils suddenly turned pitch-black.

A second later, the Ninetails Lynx’s body shuddered suddenly, and the spatial bind was removed, just like that.

“Interesting!” Lin Huang raised his brows as he watched.

She had actually controlled the Ninetails Lynx for a second using a God’s soul secret skill. One must know that the Ninetails Lynx’s current God’s soul’s strength was already at peak lower-rank lord-level.

In terms of Dao seal level, the Ninetails Lynx had reached level-10, while Babble had only consolidated a level-7 or level-8 Dao seal at most.

After freeing herself from the spatial bind, Babble did not dare to stop in her bid for escape. The reason was, she knew that Lin Huang had more than one “imperial monster”. Not only that, Black Mountain had been killed by this group of “imperial monsters”.

She did not have sufficient confidence to confront enemies that even the two middle-rank Lords, Black Mountain and Spy, could not defeat.

However, she did not have Black Mountain’s speed. She had not fled very far before she encountered a combined attack from a few of the God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls.

The Ninetails Lynx that Babble had controlled attacked in a rage. Its sharp claws slashed out, sending countless spatial blades surging toward Babble like a net.

Almost simultaneously, Death Butterfly attacked as well. Its wings stirred slightly, and an invisible death wave spread through the starry heavens, fanning out toward Babble.

This was followed immediately by attacks from the Destructive Divine Mammoth and the other Combat Souls.

Babble’s pupils turned pitch-black again, and black blood began trickling from her eyes.

She released another God’s soul attack that rippled through the starry sky like waves of water.

The attack stunned almost all the God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls into a trance as it passed them.

However, when the God’s soul attack reached Nightmare Tapir, Nightmare Tapir suddenly released a shriek.

Babble immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the remaining God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls regained their senses.

Lin Huang clearly sensed the full process of the God’s souls colliding this time.

Nightmare Tapir already possessed the combat strength of a peak lower-rank Lord, and its God’s soul’s strength was peak lower-rank Lord as well. However, it specialized in God’s soul power and was able to wield its God’s soul attacks to yield middle-rank lord-level results.

In reality, Nightmare Tapir and Babble were on par with each other in the earlier collision between God’s souls.

However, Babble had too many targets to attack, so the strength of her assault was reduced. Thus, she was injured by Nightmare Tapir’s counterattack.

If they were to fight one on one, Lin Huang felt the chances of Nightmare Tapir defeating Babble would be fifty-fifty.

Although this woman, Babble, was only a lower-rank Lord, her overall abilities were by no means very much weaker than Spy’s earlier.

Lin Huang attacked mercilessly. At the same time, he found it rather amusing to see his God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls being repeatedly embarrassed.

Dozens of electric arcs resembling blood-red lightning shot out from his sleeves.

Sensing the incoming threat, Babble did not dodge. Instead, she used the same skill, turning her head to look directly at Lin Huang.

Her black pupils bled without stopping as her God’s soul attack surged toward Lin Huang.

Her idea was simple. Since she was unable to escape from the encircling “imperial monsters”, she would directly attack the imperial monsters’ master. Even if she failed to kill Lin Huang, the master, injuring him severely could increase the chances for her escape.

However, Babble released a devastating shriek a second after she released the God’s soul attack.

At the same time, her eyes immediately burst, eye sockets becoming two bloody holes.

Her God’s soul attack had backfired instantly.

After all, Lin Huang currently possessed God’s soul strength at peak upper-rank lord-level. He was only half a step away from becoming an ultimate-rank Lord. Not only that, he had a spirit-level God Weapon in his God’s soul’s space that could increase the strength of his God’s soul.

Babble attacking head-on with a lower-rank Lord’s God’s soul strength was utterly ineffectual.

Right as Babble shrieked in agony, her God’s soul nearly shattering, a blood-red electric arc flashed through the air and pierced right through the middle of her brow.

The several God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls looked at Lin Huang with mixed emotions on their faces.

The ten of them had surrounded Babble and attacked but failed twice. However, with just a single blow, Lin Huang had killed this powerful spirit cultivator.

After using Divine Telekinesis to retrieve Babble’s corpse and put it away in his storage space, Lin Huang glanced over in the direction of the other battlefield.

Steel Fist and Epic Player’s fight had come to an end in quick succession, with the two lower-rank Lords being slaughtered on the spot.

Their battle appeared to have taken a long time, but in reality, less than ten minutes had passed.

It felt much longer because the battle on Lin Huang’s side had ended far too rapidly.

After putting their acquired loot away, Steel Fist and Epic Player approached Lin Huang. Their faces bore extremely complicated expressions as they looked at him.

Although they had not seen the full proceedings of Lin Huang’s battle when the two of them had been fighting, they had taken moments to observe. Therefore, they had caught the instance when Lin Huang had killed the two middle-rank Lords and Babble.

Having discovered that the new Club member had such terrifying abilities, they were not too sure what to say at the moment.

Lin Huang, however, initiated the conversation when he saw how awkward both of them felt.

“Thank you so much for your aid. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, I’ll definitely help out if it’s within my power to do so.”

“Don’t say that. The two of us didn’t help at all. We’re just here to freeload off the loot.” Epic Player gave a wry smile.

“With your abilities, you don’t need our help at all. I don’t understand why you asked both of us to come.” Steel Fist looked as if she had been stunned by a blow.

“I didn’t know their exact abilities after all, so I asked for your help just in case,” Lin Huang only disclosed part of the truth. He did not tell them that his abilities had skyrocketed after he had requested their presence.

Although the answer sounded a little like prevarication, the two of them believed it regardless.

“What are your plans after this? Are you going to the universe?” Steel Fist could not help but ask.

“I doubt I’ll be leaving the great world for the foreseeable future. There are still a great many things I need to settle here.” Lin Huang shook his head.

“Which means to say we can still be in contact?” Epic Player said with a smile.

“Of course, we’re colleagues at the Club.” Lin Huang smiled and nodded.

“Speaking of colleagues…” Steel Fist’s expression turned a touch colder. “I think there’s an eighty percent chance that brat Cunning Rabbit is the Raider spy!”

“What eighty percent chance—it’s one hundred percent that it’s him!” Epic Player scoffed, “Otherwise, how would the Raiders know to send all their members to hunt the three of us?!”

The two of them had already found out from Lin Huang that he had only sent the three of them a request for help.

Cunning Rabbit was the only one who had not replied.

Therefore, Cunning Rabbit had to be the one who had leaked the information to the Raiders.

“Does Cunning Rabbit have a permanent address?” Lin Huang looked at Steel Fist and Epic Player with a beatific smile.

“I know of a foothold he uses, but I’m not sure if there’s where his permanent residence is,” Steel Fist replied with a smile.

“I think we can pay him a visit and surprise him.” Lin Huang looked at the two of them with a smile.

“I think we can do that!”

“I think it’s a great idea too!”
