447: Chapter 447 Almost there! He can't hold on any longer.
The hot spring pool was filled with swirling mist, and the sound of laughter and playful commotion continued.
The colors of their swimsuits intertwined and surged through the white mist as water splashed everywhere.
Qiao Feifei splashed a faceful of water at Bai Lulu.
Bai Lulu immediately scooped up a handful and splashed it right back.
The splash caused Qiao Shiyu nearby to shriek and burrow into Lin Yun's arms.
Shen Youqing and Chen Yuwei flanked from left and right, trapping Gu Qingcheng in the corner of the pool and thoroughly drenching her.
Bu Yaoguang laughed so hard she couldn't straighten her back, only to be ambushed from behind by Hua Liuli and plunge completely into the water.
When she surfaced, her soaked hair clung to her face, possessing an inexplicable beauty.
The entire pool was filled with laughter and shrieks.
Lin Yun leaned against the edge of the pool.
His left arm wrapped around Qiao Shiyu.
His right arm wrapped around Su Yingxue.
Everyone else crowded closely around him.
Amidst the rising steam, flushed cheeks and drenched swimsuits intertwined into a vibrant and alluring scene.
His expression always carried a smile, his gaze gliding from one face to another, looking no different from usual.
But his heart had already flown away.
Ever since he received Wang Tianming's distress signal.
The signal was brief, but the content was very clear:
Surrounded and attacked by Void Realm plunderers.
Sixth Order Completion leading three Sixth Rank Middle Stage members and a group of Fifth Rank ones.
Fourth Rank spaceship destroyed, Soul Ant died in battle.
At the end of the signal, Wang Tianming added a line.
"Master, I can hold on."
Lin Yun didn't reveal any abnormality.
He continued to hold Qiao Shiyu in his arms, smiling as he acknowledged Su Yingxue's spoiled words leaning close beside him.
He even tilted his head to dodge when Qiao Feifei splashed water over, then splashed it back with a backhand motion.
Moyan Star System, Red Giant Star.
The Diyang Giant Beast Clone had already set out.
In the hot spring pool, Lin Yun tilted his head to dodge the water spray from Qiao Feifei, and cursed with a smile:
"You splashing me?"
Then scooped up a handful of water and splashed it back.
In his laughter and tone, there was not a trace of abnormality.
Everyone thought he was just messing around.
Only he knew that the Diyang Giant Beast Clone was speeding through the Dark Universe at its limit.
That direction was the position of Wang Tianming that he sensed.
Before the Clone arrived, Wang Tianming had to hold on.
Lin Yun sent back a message:
"Hold on. I'm coming."
Then he continued to soak in the hot spring, holding his wives, joking and bantering, enjoying this early morning.
The Diyang Giant Beast flew at full speed.
There was no starlight in the Dark Universe, no reference points, only eternal darkness.
The 1,200-kilometer dark red body traced a gloomy trajectory through the Void Realm.
Every flap of the gold-red energy wings on its back boosted its speed by a notch.
Grant led his underlings to attack for a while longer.
Blade lights, flames, ice shards, and energy beams hammered in turns against Wang Tianming's battle armor.
The surface of the battle armor was smooth as new, still without a single scratch, but the energy inside Wang Tianming was about to bottom out.
The light of the battle armor began to dim.
That layer of silver-gray luster changed from bright to gloomy, like the final afterglow of a candle about to go out.
Grant's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Almost there! Almost there! He can't hold on anymore!"
His voice carried excitement that he couldn't suppress at all.
"Push harder! Take him down before he's completely finished!"
The three Sixth Rank Middle Stage capable henchmen also grew excited at the same time.
The frequency and intensity of their attacks were raised to the maximum.
That group of Fifth Rank underlings howled as they charged forward.
Although their attacks didn't even count as an itch scratch.
But they had numbers on their side, which could consume a bit more of Wang Tianming's energy.
Grant was already prepared.
Once the light of the battle armor completely extinguished.
He would immediately rush up and strip the battle armor off Wang Tianming.
This Sixth Rank battle armor would be his.
But he didn't stay happy for long.
That dim layer of light on Wang Tianming's battle armor suddenly lit up again.
Changing from gloomy to bright, from bright to stable.
The silver-gray luster re-covered every inch of the armor's surface, shining even a bit brighter than before.
Grant's smile froze on his face.
"Damn it!"
He cursed fiercely, almost failing to grip the long blade in his hand.
"This kid is playing with me!"
He was both angry and anxious, his entire face distorted.
When he saw the armor's light dim earlier, he couldn't describe how excited he was.
His mind was entirely plotting.
How to show off after getting the armor, how to explain to the boss, how to make up for the losses of this job.
And the result?
The guy was just toying with him.
The light dimmed, then lit back up.
This was telling him:
I can still hold on, you got excited for nothing.
Wang Tianming was indeed playing with him.
Wang Tianming had long given up struggling.
Anyway, he couldn't escape, nor could he dodge the attacks.
He simply stood in place to act as a sandbag.
The attacks of those Sixth Rank Martial Artists slammed into him, and they couldn't even break his defense anyway.
He concentrated on doing one thing.
Absorbing Universe Crystals to restore energy.
Inside the Space Ring given to him by the master.
Besides the things his master's Clone needed and the battle armor on his body, there were countless peak grade Universe Crystals.
Wang Tianming had truly never seen so many peak grade Universe Crystals.
Back in Qilin Kingdom, he couldn't even bear to use High Grade Universe Crystals.
He only used Low Grade and Medium Grade ones.
But now, so many peak grade Universe Crystals, his master had bestowed them upon him just like that.
He originally intended to hand them all over to the master's Clone when reaching Magic Eye Planet.
His own lifespan was almost reaching the end, and with no hope of a Breakthrough, he didn't want to waste his master's things.
But now, he had to use them.
Wang Tianming inside the battle armor held a peak grade Universe Crystal in his hand, operating his Cultivation Technique at full power.
Energy pure to the extreme surged from the Universe Crystal into his Meridians, instantly replenishing the consumption that had been drained away just now.
The light lit up again.
He didn't even lift his eyelids, and was even too lazy to maintain his standing posture anymore.
Those outside attacks hit him, and he didn't even feel a thing.
Grant looked at that layer of silver-gray light that had lit up again, itching with anger in his teeth.
"All-out attack! Don't let him recover!"
He roared and slashed a blade over first.
"Interrupt him! Don't let him absorb energy!"
The three Sixth Rank Middle Stage Martial Artists exerted force simultaneously, their attacks pouring down like a torrential rain.
Flames, ice spikes, wind blades, and energy beams intertwined into a dense net, slamming overwhelmingly onto Wang Tianming.
A series of light spots were hammered onto the surface of Wang Tianming's battle armor, but it still remained motionless.
Ninety-nine percent weakening effect, did you think it was a joke?
Wang Tianming inside didn't even wrinkle his brow, and the peak grade Universe Crystal in his hand was still continuously outputting energy.
The Cultivation Technique operated at full power, and the absorption speed was much faster than the consumption speed.
More than ten minutes passed.
Grant panted heavily, the blade of the long sword in his hand slightly hot from all the chopping.
Wang Tianming's battle armor was still bright.
The peak grade Universe Crystal in his hand was changed to another piece.
Grant's attack rhythm finally slowed down.
His three capable henchmen were also quite exhausted, and the frequency of their attacks significantly decreased.
That tall and thin subordinate leaned over and said listlessly:
"Fifth Boss... this won't do, he recovers too fast."
"If we fight like this, we simply can't keep up with his absorption speed."
