Chapter 345: Chapter 345

Wang Jianfang was momentarily stunned by Lu Lin’s words.

At a time , you still have the mood for small talk.

What, do you want me to brew two cups of tea for you?

Why did I come here? Didn’t I come here to rescue you, you little rascal?

Do you have any sense at all?

Before Wang Jianfang could think further, Zhao Lei teleported over to resolve his crisis.

Lu Lin happily called out.

Zhao Lei responded briefly, just like Wang Jianfang, unable to understand why Lu Lin still had the mood for chatting at this moment. Fresh chapters posted on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Doesn’t he know that so many people came here, fought, battled, all for his sake?

Gan Yu saw Zhao Lei coming over and immediately engaged him in a fight.

However, in his transformed state, although Gan Yu’s defense was much stronger, his attack power was lacking.

Additionally, Zhao Lei’s fast movement speed and wealth of combat experience.

Their multiple exchanges only led to a situation where neither could inflict harm on the other.

Zhao Lei dodged when possible, blocking with his large saber when he couldn’t.

Gan Yu used Lu Lin, held at his chest, to block, even deliberately exposing a part of Lu Lin’s body to make it easier for Zhao Lei to kill Lu Lin.

In this way, one attacked fruitlessly, while the other was constrained.

Through their constantly changing figures, Lu Lin also saw the situation in the field.

Unexpectedly, the Human Federation sent so many people to rescue him this time.

But given the current circumstances, although human martial artists had an advantage in Star Soldier-level combat.

At the Titled King level, the new human Titled Kings were simply no match for those aliens.

The better ones could barely hold on; others were already severely injured and coughing up blood.

At this rate, Lu Lin wouldn’t be saved, and humans might first lose a few Titled Kings.

This cannot continue.

Lu Lin thought to himself.

Lv Susu previously told him that Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu had already died for Bao Hu Lu Lin.

From what he saw and heard in the Emergency Cabin, Lu Lin could guess what transpired then.

Bao Hu was heavily injured first by Gan Yu, which enraged Zhang Xianzhi, who exploded with fury, killing He Bo, but also reached his limit and was slain by Gan Yu.

Bao Hu knew that, in his severely injured state, he couldn’t protect Lu Lin in an escape, so he gambled everything, planning to use self-destruction to go down with Gan Yu, granting Lu Lin time to escape.

In the end, Lu Lin could not escape.

Alien Race Star Generals arrived, bringing more Star Soldiers with various abilities to find Lu Lin.

Humans had already lost two Titled Kings, and they were living people too.

They also had their children, parents, families.

Lu Lin did not think himself more noble than others, worthy of risking lives to protect him.

If another person died today, Lu Lin would be even more tormented.

"Boss, take everyone and leave."

"Don’t make sacrifices in vain."

"Being captured by them doesn’t necessarily mean death for me."

"But the people here today might die because of me."

"This isn’t something I want to see."

Zhao Lei ignored Lu Lin’s words.

He was not afraid of sacrifice.

As long as he could bring back Lu Lin, all sacrifices were worth it in his eyes.

"Heh heh heh, Lu Lin is right."

"Isn’t there a popular saying among humans about keeping the green mountains there, so you’d never have to worry about running out of firewood?"

"We didn’t come here to kill Lu Lin, just to invite him as a guest."

"How about we stop the fight if you agree?"

"Once Lu Lin is tired of staying in our Extraordinary Species territory, I’ll naturally bring him back."

Gan Yu said with a smile.

Even if he seemed evenly matched with Zhao Lei now, only he knew the agony.

Facing Bao Hu’s self-sacrificing strike inflicted very severe injuries on Gan Yu.

Such injuries wouldn’t heal in several decades, perhaps not even in several decades.

Furthermore, there’s the foundational damage from the self-destruction, which could never be repaired.

Even if Zhao Lei’s every strike couldn’t break the surface defense of those branches, Zhao Lei is not an ordinary person.

Every strike came with a trace of the unique mountain-like vibration and heavy power, infiltrating Gan Yu.

Currently, Gan Yu was like donkey dung — shiny on the outside, seemingly not fearing Zhao Lei’s attack.

But sooner or later, he would be exposed.

If he were certain of victory, he wouldn’t need to say such words.

"What the old mister said is very true; Boss, you should go back first. I’m just going as a guest."

"Once I’ve toured the Alien Race territories, I’ll definitely return."

Gan Yu smiled but remained silent.

After reaching the endless sea, Lu Lin still wanted to return, what a joke.

Zhao Lei kept his silence.

Whether he saw through Gan Yu’s bluff, he said nothing, continuing to strike with his saber.

Gan Yu grew more impatient.

At this rate, with another thirty to forty strikes, Zhao Lei might break his defense.

By then, Gan Yu would be severely injured.

Zhao Lei, unrestricted, became the strongest force on the field.

Those Star Generals are absolutely no match for Zhao Lei. By then, not to mention that the mission of the black shark can’t be completed, almost all of them will die.

"Boss, if you continue to attack, don’t blame me for killing Lu Lin first."

Gan Yu didn’t know Zhao Lei’s name, so like Lu Lin, he also called him Boss.

Lu Lin quickly cooperated and said, "Boss, I beg you, please leave. Otherwise, he will kill me."

Zhao Lei and Gan Yu were instantly covered with black lines.

This kid, how can you be so big-hearted?

Although he thought so, Zhao Lei also stopped his actions.

He looked directly at Lu Lin, and Lu Lin winked at him.

Secretly transmitting what happened here to Lv Susu, it seemed Lv Susu had already expected this.

She told Zhao Lei that Lu Lin wouldn’t be in any immediate life danger, and for the sake of humans, she asked him to temporarily retreat to avoid causing more casualties.

After Lu Lin left, the Human Federation lost the ability to continue birthing Titled Kings.

Now, every Titled King, including the ninth level, is a precious treasure of humanity.

They cannot be easily damaged.

After receiving the message, Zhao Lei looked at Lu Lin.

He didn’t seem to worry that Gan Yu would continue to attack him, walking up to Gan Yu and motioning for Lu Lin to open his mouth.

At this moment, Lu Lin was wrapped up like a cocoon all over.

He simply couldn’t hold anything.

Since the mission to rescue Lu Lin had failed, Zhao Lei could only settle for the second-best option of handing him the storage ring.

With a wave of Zhao Lei’s hand, all the Level 9 Martial Artists quickly retreated from the fight, and the battling Star Generals also separated.

Zhao Lei gave a fierce glance, turned with his people, and left.

This time, he would return for revenge sooner or later.

Watching Zhao Lei and the others leave, Gan Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He took Lu Lin down from his back, still wrapped like a zongzi.

"Ban Jun, you take over. Don’t let this guy escape again."

Ban Jun stepped forward, coming in front of Lu Lin.

As mentioned earlier, Ban Jun was specially prepared by the black shark to deal with Lu Lin.

Among the Alien Race, he belonged to the extremely rare Lock Clan.

The Lock Clan’s population is even rarer than the Soul Controlling Clan and harder to advance than the Broken Earth Alien Race.

Over the years, there was only one Ban Jun in the black shark’s hands, cultivated to the Ninth-Level Peak.

And the greatest innate ability of the Lock Clan is the lock.

They can lock anything you can imagine.

Lock time, lock lifespan, lock the body, lock the spirit, lock destiny...

But with Ban Jun’s current strength, he could only lock Lu Lin’s spiritual strength to prevent him from escaping.

In front of Ban Jun, a bronze lock of an ancient style appeared out of thin air.

This was already the limit of Ban Jun’s abilities.

Iron lock, locks the body,

Bronze lock, locks the soul.

Silver lock, locks life.

Golden lock, locks destiny.

This has been a longstanding tradition passed down in the Lock Clan.

But from a young age to adulthood, Ban Jun spent countless resources merely to advance to the ninth level.

Being able to summon the bronze lock was already fortunate, he didn’t dare to hope for further advancement.

Life as it is now, is pretty good.

The Bronze Giant Lock plunged into Lu Lin’s forehead and disappeared.

Although Lu Lin couldn’t move, he could still sense something new in his Consciousness Universe.

Just as this thought emerged, the star power fluctuation on Lu Lin’s body disappeared.

He couldn’t use his spiritual strength either.

The bronze lock didn’t just have the effect of locking the soul.

A smile appeared on Ban Jun’s face, "Master Gan Yu, it’s locked now."

As the person who bound Lu Lin, Gan Yu naturally was the first to notice Lu Lin’s condition.

The star power was gone.

The spiritual strength couldn’t be used either.

Lu Lin was now just like back when he hadn’t started cultivation, his strength remained, but everything else was locked away.

"Not bad, this bronze lock of yours is indeed very impressive."

Gan Yu praised, releasing Lu Lin.

Unable to use star power.

Unable to use spiritual strength either.

Lu Lin couldn’t go anywhere from earth to heaven. Even if he wanted to escape, with so many Star Generals present, they wouldn’t let Lu Lin leave alone.

Thus, whether Lu Lin was bound or released made little difference.

Gan Yu, with a face full of smiles, said to Lu Lin: "You should be able to feel your condition. Next, we will take you to meet our Lord, The God of Black Shark, in the endless sea."

"During this time, if you cooperate well, then naturally I won’t let you suffer. What do you think?"

Lu Lin readily agreed, seemingly without the awareness of being a captive.

Watching Lu Lin being treated by the Alien Race, and having to smilingly agree with the Alien Race Star General to survive.

Zhao Lei, watching this scene from above the clouds, almost grinded his teeth to pieces.

He would wash it with Alien Race blood some day.
