<h4>Chapter 1686: Annihted En Masse</h4>


    The nine blood-red shock waves shot through the void like lightning, more than several times faster than the shock waves Nine Snake had released.


    Lin Huang secretly added two Dao seals to this round of deflection.


    The blood-red shock waves immediately shot through the void. Before Nine Snake could even fully react, they had struck the shadow above his head.


    The next instant, the giant nine-headed python’s nine heads exploded almost all at once. Immediately after that, the shadow swiftly disintegrated, transforming into countless ck points of light and fading away.


    Below, Nine Snake abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Although Lin Huang had not directly attacked Nine Snake’s actual person this round, Nine Snake had still suffered a bacsh.


    Nine Snake’s technique was powered by his God’s soul and had integrated Divine Power, Odylic Force, and Dao seal power.


    Since his technique had been shattered by violence, naturally, his God’s soul was impacted.


    Fortunately, he managed to withdraw his Divine Power in time, so he only suffered the aftermath of the impact.


    However, in order for the giant nine-headed python to absorb Lin Huang’s attack, he had drained an immense amount of the Divine Power and Odylic Force within his body.


    Almost one-third of the Divine Power and Odylic Force within him was stripped away by the attack.


    He had no choice either because by the time he could respond, the nine shock waves were already practically in his face. There was no way he could evade them at all, so he was forced to take the brunt of the attack head-on.


    If he did not do that, his God’s soul would have been instantly annihted.


    Nine Snake thought that Lin Huang must surely have seen through the nature of this technique, which exined why he had not attacked Nine Snake’s physical body, insteadunching an assault on the giant nine-headed python above his head.


    However, the truth was that Lin Huang had not made a study of Nine Snake’s technique at all.


    The Mirror’s deflection angle could be adjusted as necessary to attack whatever target he wanted. However, he had not bothered to make any adjustments.


    The giant nine-headed python was massive and obviously a target that would be easier to hit.


    Moreover, crushing an energy being like this would definitely drain a great deal of his opponent’s Divine Power and Odylic Force. This was something one would know even without even needing to study the technique.


    The first sh between both of them began abruptly and ended just as abruptly.


    Scarlet Fox and the others watched, dumbfounded.


    As upper-rank Lords, Scarlet Fox and Silver could distinctly sense the giant nine-headed python’s terrifying aura, which was already almost as powerful as that of an ultimate-level Lord.


    An off-hand attack could easily kill any powerhouse at the scene, let alone if all nine heads were to attack at the same time.


    As for the handful of middle-rank Lords, although they did not have such a clear perception of Nine Snake’s technique, they were still able to sense how terrifying it was when the giant nine-headed python spat out its shock waves. The aftermath alone made the hearts of all six quail.


    Initially, almost everyone present thought there was a ny percent chance that as soon as Nine Snake attacked, Lin Huang—who was opposite him—would die.


    After all, the attack was already as powerful as that of an ultimate-rank Lord.


    However, they had never expected the actual situation to turn things upside down.


    Not only had Lin Huang suffered no harm, but he had also confounded Nine Snake’s attack immediately.


    The rest of the Raiders initially thought they might individually have a chance to bag Lin Huang as a trophy if Nine Snake’s attack did not kill him.


    However, after witnessing what happened, the eight of them felt cold chills running through them.


    Even Silver, the mechanoid, disyed fear.


    His silver physical body turned dark red at a speed discernible to the naked eye.


    This physical state was a reaction that would automatically be triggered whenever Silver sensed life-threatening danger. It would temporarily raise his physical constitution by a level.


    Under normal circumstances, Scarlet Fox would certainly not have been able to restrain himself from asking questions if he saw Silver changing color like this.


    However, he was entirely in no mood to do so right now.


    He had already begun rapidly plotting an escape n.


    All of them would certainly die if they fought someone that even Nine Snake could not defeat. Their only chance of survival was to seize the opportunity and flee.


    Lin Huang did not even look at Scarlet Fox and the others.


    Right now, among the nine of them, Nine Snake’s ability was the only one that drew his attention, albeit reluctantly.


    As for the rest, he would not even need to use a second God Weapon flying dagger to kill them.


    “If you hadn’t used that move earlier, perhaps you might have been able tost a little longer.” Lin Huang smiled at Nine Snake.


    Nine Snake said nothing, but his expression was indescribable.


    He had certainly not expected things to turn out this way.


    “Since you attacked first earlier, it’s my turn now.” As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, countless electric arcs shot out of his sleeves like blood-red lightning bolts that filled the heavens as far as the eye could see.


    Nine Snake’s pupils contracted slightly when he saw this.


    However, the blood-red electric arcs suddenly disappeared.


    A secondter, Nine Snake saw the blood-red electric arcs covering the entire area densely, fully three hundred and sixty degrees without a single gap…


    Things looked entirely different from where Scarlet Fox and the others were standing.


    They only saw the electric arcs shoot out and cover the distance almost instantly, forming a blood-red sphere of light around Nine Snake topletely envelope him…


    This was a new technique that Lin Huang had devised after seeing how the Divine Magic Winged Bug used its wings.


    He integrated teleportation into the Divine Telekinesis flying daggers’ use.


    The moment the millions of Divine Telekinesis flying daggers shot out, Lin Huang teleported them to surround Nine Snake, then envelop him entirely.


    In less than the time it took for three breaths, Scarlet Fox and the rest sensed that Nine Snake’s life force had beenpletely obliterated.


    Scarlet Fox did not need to think at all. Without hesitation, he hid behind Silver in a sh and summoned a dimensional portal.


    However, the instant he called up the portal, he saw a red beam of light in his peripheral vision. Immediately after that, everything went ck, and hepletely lost consciousness.


    Only then did Lin Huang’s gaze shift from the area surrounded by the lightning bolts. He then turned his head to look at where Scarlet Fox and the others were.


    The seven people left alive were still in shock. They only reacted when Scarlet Fox made his move; all of them immediately chose to flee.


    All Lin Huang did was nce over, and a red electric arc shed across the distance, killing the six of them instantly.


    “Eh?”


    Suddenly, Lin Huang raised his eyebrows.


    Out of the seven Raiders, one of them was surprisingly not killed at once.


    The Divine Telekinesis flying dagger had not gonepletely through his body. It had merely left a wound.


    This individual was Silver, whose body was now dark red. He looked like a metallic being entirely covered by rust.


    However, this form was the state in which his defenses were at their most powerful.


    This peak mode would only be triggered when his subconscious sensed lethal threats.


    His original physical constitution was already at peak upper-rank lord-level. Now that he had practically elevated a full level, his constitution wasparable to that of a peak ultimate-rank Lord.


    This was why Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis flying dagger had not been able topletely breach Silver’s defenses.


    However, Lin Huang knew that this mode could not be sustained for long.


    With a touch of interest, he looked across the distance at the fleeing Silver. He manipted more Divine Telekinesis flying daggers to attack Silver for a second time, then a third time, and a fourth…


    When the flying daggers attacked Silver for the eleventh time, they finally impaled his body all the way through.


    It was not that his defenses had been breached; instead, the Divine Power and Odylic Force within his body had been totally drained. He no longer had the strength to maintain this mode.


    In the end, all nine Raiders were wiped out en masse after being subjugated by Lin Huang’s show of force. Only after a nce at Silver— who eventually toppled to the ground—did Lin Huang turn around unhurriedly. He looked in the direction of the colossal edifice behind him—the Ten Thousand Bug Maze!
