The other experts on the metallic lifeform frowned. Encountering a Middle God coming to beg for help only made them feel disgusted. How could they possibly care about such a trivial figure?
"Help!" Lin Lei cried out in panic, but his gaze was already piercing through the transparent metal to see the people inside.
"Leave now, or you die!" one of the Six-Star Demons shouted angrily.
"Haha, kid, you won't escape!" The group of bandit marauders also flew over, though they didn't dare disturb the metallic lifeform, fearing the experts inside might turn their anger upon them.
"Let's go. Ignore them," the bald captain said indifferently.
*Boom!* Suddenly, the metallic lifeform exploded violently. Every expert inside was instantly jolted awake as a hazy, earthy-yellow luminance spread out, covering a spherical space five hundred meters in diameter around them—the Blackstone Space!
The maximum gravitational pull was directed at Lin Lei!
*Whoosh, whoosh~~* The metallic fragments of the lifeform also flew rapidly toward Lin Lei. The explosion had created chaos, and everyone inside still hadn't figured out what was happening.
The bald captain, in particular, was stunned to find a dragon-scale-covered claw already before his eyes!
"No good, it's a member of the Azure Dragon Clan!" was all the bald captain had time to realize.
*Pfft!*
Lin Lei's claw struck like lightning, plunging directly into the bald captain's head. *Bang!* The skull shattered, blood splattered, mixing with the debris of the metallic lifeform flying in all directions. A Highgod's divine spark landed in Lin Lei's palm.
Instantly, a Seven-Star Demon was dead!
This Seven-Star Demon died unjustly. Lin Lei had been hovering by the window of the metallic lifeform, a distance of five or six meters from the bald captain. For a supreme expert like Lin Lei, that distance was negligible...
In the time it takes a spark to fly from flint to steel, the enemy was killed!
One could only blame the Seven-Star Demon for not being on guard, never suspecting that the Middle God begging for help was actually a Seven-Star Demon himself!
"One," Lin Lei's dark golden eyes swept over the others. Having seen them through the transparent metal earlier, he could only judge that the bald, brawny man was the leader. The others were indistinguishable.
So, his first target had been this man.
*Whoosh whoosh~~*
Under the astonishing gravitational pull of the Blackstone Space, the experts struggled desperately to resist. They were also shocked to discover that their captain had been killed in an instant.
"Captain!" many demons exclaimed.
"So it was the captain," Lin Lei thought with great delight. His guess had been correct. By relying on a sneak attack, he had killed a Seven-Star Demon, and this task was now more than half accomplished.
The demons finally understood!
"So he's an expert from the Four Divine Beast Families!" They also noticed Lin Lei's dragon-transformed state.
"Mr. Morse." They immediately messaged the other Seven-Star Demon via soul transmission.
Morse, from the Ashcroft family, specialized in soul attacks and was the other Seven-Star Demon in this squad. With the captain, 'Koro', dead in battle, Morse naturally took command.
"To conceal one's aura to such a terrifying extent..." Morse was also greatly shocked. "Even I didn't detect it. He's actually a supreme expert."
Morse had gone down the wrong path in his thinking. Since he couldn't sense Lin Lei's Highgod aura, he assumed Lin Lei was a supreme expert who excelled at soul-related arts: "With such powerful aura concealment, he must be a master of soul attacks."
"Use physical attacks! Kill him!" Morse messaged all the Six-Star Demons.
"Understood."
All the Six-Star Demons acknowledged the order.
*Boom!* Terrifying waves of energy surged outward. The other ten Six-Star Demons, lying in ambush over ten miles from Lin Lei, were instantly alerted. After receiving the intelligence officer's notice, their attention had been highly focused.
"The fight has started!" Their expressions changed.
"Captain." Milena was anxious.
"Quick, attack!" Shanda barked, taking flight first. The other nine Six-Star Demons also immediately charged over at maximum speed.
Although the distance was over ten miles, for Six-Star Demons, that was a distance they could cover in the blink of an eye.
"Captain, you must hold on!"
All ten Six-Star Demons thought silently. For a Six-Star Demon, covering over ten miles took only one second. However, one second, in a battle between supreme experts, was enough for several rounds of exchange.
When Six-Star and Seven-Star Demons fought, life and death were decided in thousandths or even ten-thousandths of a second.
"Physical attacks!"
All the Six-Star Demons received the order and believed Morse's judgment. They all knew that among the Four Divine Beast Families, the one with the strongest physical defense was the Black Tortoise Clan, while the Azure Dragon Clan's physical defense was not considered particularly strong. Those whose bodies were truly formidable were the famous three.
And Lin Lei...
Clearly, he wasn't one of those three, nor was he on their list of high-priority targets to watch out for. His body shouldn't be too tough.
Without hesitation, while struggling to resist the gravity, each Six-Star Demon began charging their strongest physical attacks. In the Blackstone Space, where shattered metal fragments flew wildly, white mist began to pervade.
It was dreamlike and illusory, amidst a host of strange phantasms...
*Swish!* A completely transparent ice cone tore through space, shooting toward Lin Lei.
"Ha!" With clothes exploding away, a brawny expert from the Barbarie family wielded a massive ice blade. Light circulated along its edge, and with this blade, he struck down from the sky with overwhelming force toward Lin Lei.
*Hiss hiss!*
Fine ice needles, thin as embroidery needles, shot forth, transparent and so slender they were nearly invisible.
Seeing their reaction, the corners of Lin Lei's mouth couldn't help but curl upward.
"Second one!" Lin Lei shot directly toward the brawny man wielding the ice blade against him, completely ignoring the ice needles flying from behind. Several *pfft* sounds were heard as the ice needles struck Lin Lei's dragon scales, only to shatter upon impact, leaving mere white marks on the scales.
