96: Chapter 96 Yang Xu's prowess

Lin Xiao and the others on the starship were chatting with smiles on their faces, while the starship itself was fleeing wildly like a rabbit that had been shot with an arrow.

Behind the starship, two Second-order Deities were in hot pursuit with hundreds of First-order Deities.

The main reason the enemy was so incensed was the newly joined Elder Yang, perhaps to prove he was worthy of the Intermediate God treatment he received.

This time, Elder Yang didn't bother pretending and went straight to the enemy's lair alone. In full view of everyone, he captured a Second-order general alive.

There was a small mishap on the way back, well, to be precise, it wasn't really a mishap. After all, the enemy had over a thousand First-order Deities and six Second-order ones.

That Elder Yang managed to leave before being discovered was already terrifying enough; fortunately, Lin Xiao's side had prepared in advance.

Seeing the situation, they didn't hesitate and immediately took off running.

Their own general had disappeared inexplicably, and they had no idea how the enemy had infiltrated or how they had done it.

This scene sent a chill down the spines of even those dead spirits (though they were already cold to begin with). After reacting, how could they possibly let the enemy just run away?

What if this happened a few more times? Would they even be able to play anymore?

Therefore, the remaining five Second-order generals made a prompt decision, immediately splitting off two of them to take hundreds of subordinates and give chase.

It was precisely because of this that the pressure on the Divine Weapon Workshop was greatly relieved. This abnormal situation naturally attracted their attention.

But having completely lost contact with the outside world, they could only speculate that reinforcements had arrived. That was why their pressure had lessened so much.

Although it was just a guess, it greatly boosted the morale of the Divine Weapon Workshop. They even erupted into greater resistance in a short period, forcefully repelling several attacks from the dead spirits.

Inside the starship at this moment, Lin Xiao and a group of subordinates were surrounding Elder Yang, laughing and talking.

"Senior is truly impressive! Taking the head of a general from amidst ten thousand troops, look at how angry those pursuers behind us are. This move of yours is simply brilliant!"

"Senior's Law of Falsehood is simply superb! Amidst a troop of over a thousand deities, it's as if there was no one there. With Senior holding the fort, we will definitely be able to survive this disaster safely!"

"With Senior's Law, I feel we can unilaterally declare ourselves invincible. With Time, Fate, and Falsehood combined, who else in Anping County can be our opponent?!"

Elder Yang was clearly in a very good mood at this moment; wasn't showing off this hand just to establish his status?

After all, the kid was so generous, and he was a Senior, after all; could he really take advantage of a junior like that?

Although he was very comfortable being flattered, he still maintained a calm and indifferent expression on his face. He waved his hand casually and laughed.

"Just a minor skill, not worth mentioning. If we were to encounter a Intermediate God, they would easily see through this little trick of this old man."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up even more. If a Intermediate God could easily see through it, didn't that mean that anyone below a Intermediate God basically couldn't do anything to him?

No wonder the other party always gave people a feeling of being very aloof and arrogant; being able to toy with Second-order Deities, and even Third-order ones... who wouldn't be arrogant?

Lin Xiao glanced at the pursuers who were hot on their heels, his eyes looking as if he were staring at a huge, delicious piece of fat.

He had just learned from Elder Yang that the consumption was too high to affect a thousand people, but if it were only three hundred or so, he could affect the opponent for at least 30 seconds!

What could be done in thirty seconds? Thirty seconds was enough for his subordinates to wipe out most of the opponent! And this was the main reason why they still had the mood to laugh and talk.

Of course, this was inseparable from Pavilion Master Yan Yao and the other Artifact Refiners. As their skills improved, many of the starships in Lin Xiao's hands were taken by them for modification and reinforcement.

With fully abundant resources, these Artifact Refiners dared to have all sorts of bizarre ideas. Some Believers even suggested whether it was possible to modify the bodies of Second-order Deities into the starships?

Or simply use Second-order Deities as a power source?

This behavior of overly consuming the starship was quickly stopped by their God Lord. However, he didn't completely deny them, only saying to wait and see if there was an opportunity in the future.

Although these bizarre suggestions were not used, with resources abundant to the point of exploding, the overall original starships were also modified and upgraded significantly.

Performance in terms of speed, attack, defense, etc., had all been greatly improved. Previously, being chased by Second-order Deities required overloading and couldn't last long.

But now, they could hang on to a large group of deities, even with two Second-order Deities, and still be able to handle it with ease.

"My Lord, when shall we make a move? If we drag it out for too long, I'm afraid they will just give up if they can't catch up to us."

"Yes, my Lord, why don't we pretend? Or find a way to give them some sweetness so they don't unhook?"

Listening to the suggestions of his subordinates, Lin Xiao laughed happily without any sign of worry.

"Have you forgotten the sixteen-character mantra I just told you so quickly? If they dare to run, we just chase; don't get carried away just because of recent victories."

"We are still the weaker side now, and the room for maneuver isn't large. If we accidentally capsize, it won't be that easy to climb back up in the current situation."

His words immediately woke up some of the subordinates who had been floating a bit due to recent consecutive victories.

"My Lord is right to reprimand us; we were being impetuous."

Elder Yang watched from the side and nodded secretly.

[This kid doesn't look very old, but he is steady and measured in doing things. Not being carried away by continuous victories is rare...]

Compared to the laughter of the gods, the Divine Beings on the starship were all worried.

"How could this happen? Although the Divine Weapon Workshop is not as good as our Families, its strength in our Anping County can't be considered weak. To actually..."

"It's okay, everyone don't scare yourselves! Our families have all been operating in Anping County for thousands of years, our foundation is not something the Divine Weapon Workshop can compare to!"

"Our strength is strong, will the other side send more people over? If there are too many Second-order Deities..."

Hu Rong, Fang Yuan, and others also had looks of worry at this moment, although they had already become Slave Gods. But this did not mean they hoped for their families to be wiped out.

Seeing the miserable state of the workshop nearby made them worry about their own families. Some people even looked at Lin Xiao from time to time, their expressions conflicted.

Hu Rong caught a glimpse of these people's expressions and whispered in a low voice, pressing it to the extreme.

"You must not do anything stupid! Remember your current status; we haven't made any contribution at all other than taking the Lord's resources!"

As soon as she said this, the faces of those conflicted students stiffened. Someone clearly still didn't want to give up, and also lowered their voice to the extreme.

"Sister Hu, I know what you mean. But in this current situation... anyway, the Lord has to choose a place, so why can't he go to our Family first?"

Hearing this, Hu Rong looked at the person who spoke with an extremely cold expression.

"Do you really not understand? Or are you pretending to be stupid here? If the servant arranged for you by your Family in the past were to teach you how to do things, how would you treat him?"

As soon as these words came out, the student who spoke before couldn't help but break out in a fine cold sweat on his forehead, and his face turned pale.
