88: Gangqi

The Oka People discovered the situation here early on.

In fact, they had already discovered it when the Mohe team approached, as they had been monitoring this area.

"The Mohe People are attacking the pirate stronghold, what should we do?"

"These foolish Mohe People, is that how they rescue hostages?"

"What a hasty decision, aren't they afraid the pirates will tear up the tickets?"

"Damn it, what should we do?"

The leader of the Three-Eyed Clan had the light of wisdom flashing in its three eyes.

It did not think things were that simple.

It also did not believe that the other side was a bunch of idiots.

"Be careful of a trick, the actions of these Mohe People are too strange."

It felt very strange; a surprise attack was the most reckless and foolish method, as it would irritate the kidnappers and lead to the tearing up of tickets.

And for every hostage who died, the offending party would lose points.

And the impact was significant.

Because the tearing up of tickets due to your team's ineffective rescue would offset the points gained from rescuing three people.

The rules were very complete, with no loopholes to exploit.

Before it could figure it out, the pirates had already been lured over.

The Eka Clan team was forced to engage them.

"Aren't you afraid we'll tear up the tickets?" The leading sixth-ranker said viciously, hisferocious Scarface making him look fierce and evil.

The Three-Eyed Clan wanted to explain, but Nio interrupted it first: "You damned pirates, the righteous Bronze Dragon Nio will eliminate all of you."

Scarface angrily said: "You said it! Pass the word to the boss, tear up the tickets! We'll kill one hostage every two minutes until you stop."

The Eka Clan members all gloated, thinking that at this rate, the Mohe People, as the offending party, would fail due to too many negative points.

Nio feigned indignation, "Dreadful evil, we need to have a good talk, don't harm the innocent hostages."

The Eka Clan became anxious, "Brother, hurry up and fight!" But they didn't dare to provoke the pirates, as if they were to act now and provoke them, they would become the offending party, so they waited and watched.

Both sides stopped, and Nio and Scarface conversed.

The Three-Eyed Clan leader felt more and more that something was wrong, and carefully observed the other side, discovering that Lin Ye was not present.

Not good!

"They are trying to lure the tiger out of the mountain! Everyone, quickly go to the pirates' base, Lin Ye wants to rescue the hostages."

.......

Shortly after Nio left, Lin Ye made his move.

The pirates did not leave many people behind: two sixth-rankers and twenty fifth-rankers. After discovering that the Eka Clan team was also there, they even sent a reinforcement of one sixth-ranker and ten fifth-rankers.

Lin Ye only needed to face one sixth-ranker and ten fifth-rankers.

His target was their leader.

The pirate leader was very cautious, fully armed and patrolling everywhere. He knew that the moment of destiny for their group had arrived.

"Why did they act so rashly? Is there some conspiracy here? But both rescue teams are over there."

He was a bit confused; he had kidnapped so many times in his life, but this was the strangest one.

Could it be that because it was a competition, there were more hotheads?

It was difficult to explain clearly.

He thought it should be a stratagem to lure the tiger out of the mountain, but they hadn't hidden any teams, and the numbers were not significantly different.

As he was racking his brain, a pair of dark fists appeared from the void.

Wave Fist.

The crisis awareness cultivated by constantly evading the cosmic police saved the pirate leader's life, and he hastily metalized his entire body.

The terrifying fist force instantly shattered his armor, and a bloody hole appeared in his metalized body.

However, it still saved his life.

Lin Ye no longer bothered with the pirate leader and unleashed Shattering Star Fist.

He cleared out the four pirates around the leader.

"Maciel, quickly tear up the tickets." The pirate leader's mind was very clear.

The six fifth-rankers guarding the hostages realized what was happening and were about to act.

Ruyi Strength!

Six large Star Force nets trapped them, preventing them from moving.

This was something Lin Ye had set up in advance.

Teleport, Shattering Star Fist.

Shattering Star Fist instantly killed two, these six guarding pirates were elites and very strong.

Before they could break free, Lin Ye used Shattering Star Fist to kill two more.

The remaining two pirates broke free, and the pirate leader, ignoring his injuries, rushed over.

Unfortunately, to ensure a tight defense, the secret room's door was closed, leaving only six pirates to guard it.

What they thought was a door to block enemy rescue turned out to be their own obstacle.

The two pirates were about to tear up the tickets, their knives already falling onto the heads of the terrified robots, but they were controlled again.

Ruyi Strength.

Two punches solved these two pirates.

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, it was stable.

He looked towards the pirate leader.

Seeing this, the pirate leader turned to run without looking back. If he were at full strength and with his subordinates, he might still pose some threat to Lin Ye.

But now? No.

Teleport.

Wave Fist.

Unexpectedly, the pirate leader had some skill; using his escape as a cover, he counter-attacked with a knife as Lin Ye teleported over.

Arc Slash.

This slash condensed all his lifelong learning, his final madness.

"Ding ~"

A thin layer of Star Force appeared on the hit area. After the pirate leader's Arc Slash was weakened by the battle armor, it didn't even break through the Star Force.

Wave Fist hit, and it was a fatal blow.

"Puff ~"

The pirate leader collapsed to the ground, a look of madness flashing in his eyes.

Self-destruct.

A terrifying explosion instantly covered the entire base.

"Lin Ye was impulsive."

"He was a step behind, what a pity, what a pity. I hope more hostages can survive."

"What's wrong with the officials? They still leave such dangerous skills to pirates? Aren't they afraid of pirates self-destructing in prison?"

Apparently, the officials knew, it was just a small Easter egg and surprise left for the contestants.

It must be said that they were extremely cunning. The power of this self-destruction could kill most fifth-rankers and hostages, and even strong fifth-rankers would be severely wounded.

To say how powerful it was, it wasn't that much; in terms of single-target damage, it was not as good as Arc Slash, but the range was too large, and it was easy to perish with the hostages.

These dog planners, they really know how to play!

As the smoke slowly dispersed, a silver light shield appeared in the base, which was mostly destroyed by the explosion.

The light shield covered the secret room door, not harming any hostages.

!!!!

What is this?

"What's going on? What's going on with Lin Ye's light shield? Isn't he a Martial Artist?"

"It's Star Force Body Armor. Great Achievement Star Force Body Armor can form a protective Star Force, which is what Lin Ye used to block that knife just now. The consummate Star Force Body Armor can form a protective Star Force shield. Oh, Lin Ye, you are the GOAT."

"Consummate Star Force Body Armor? Didn't they say he just broke through to the fifth rank? His cultivation speed must be cheating!"

"Terrifying as such!"

This was precisely Lin Ye's hidden trump card.

He hadn't told anyone, nor had he used it before the competition.

This was also his reliance for daring to go alone; with the Star Force shield, he was enough to protect the hostages.

He opened the door and led a group of hostages away.

Rushing out of the cave, he pointed out the landing spot for the rescue spaceship to the hostages.

Now it was the final moment.

The belated Eka Clan team and pirates wanted to pursue the hostages, some were blocked by the desperately resisting Mohe People, while the rest rushed forward.

Nio flew in the air, like a bomber, specifically targeting the leaders.

Shattering Star Fist.

Great Compassion Palm.

These two area-of-effect attacks were used continuously; their performance in group battles was too outstanding.

Four Three-Eyed Clan members jointly unleashed Soul attacks, penetrating Lin Ye's Star Force. After most of their power was blocked by the mermaid scales, they hit Lin Ye's Soul.

Lin Ye was stunned.

Dozens of surrounding enemies all attacked.

Dozens of attacks landed on Lin Ye's Star Force, creating ripples, but they still almost broke through.

The combination of Star Force and battle armor was the strongest defense; they were too far off.

Lin Ye recovered, but his head was still splitting.
