122: Chapter 122 The Great Cold Alliance?!

Looking in the direction of the sound, three figures came into view.

Leading them was Captain Piao with an arrogant smile, while another held a golden scroll in his hand.

"A forging scroll for a time-space sword. Not bad, it's a legendary grade weapon."

"Hehe, to have such a harvest right after entering the Rift of Time is indeed a joyous occasion."

"Truly, heaven is blessing our Great Han Alliance."

To Captain Piao's left was a Night Warlock in black robes, also wearing a playful smirk.

"That's right. This time in the Rift of Time, our Great Han Alliance will definitely have the last laugh."

On the right was a burly Shield Warrior.

All three possessed strong auras; they were likely Professionals above level 5.

As they spoke, the space beside them suddenly twisted, and nine more Professionals appeared.

"Haha, Captain Cui truly lives up to being a Night Warlock. This Mass Invisibility skill is incredibly useful."

"Yeah, without Captain Cui and Captain Piao, we wouldn't have killed this World-class boss so easily."

"We are all honor students from the top institution of Great Han, Zul Academy. Naturally, we should help each other out here."

"..."

On the other side, Lu Yin's gaze became as cold as a knife, and the aura around him suddenly solidified.

The Three Women—Milian, Ling Ying, and Su Xiaoruan—quickly closed in, their faces filled with anger and vigilance.

"People from the Great Han Alliance... quite the methods you have," Lu Yin said calmly, yet with a bone-chilling coldness.

Captain Piao tilted his chin up arrogantly and tapped his scepter lightly, making a crisp sound.

"This Time-Space Guardian was an ownerless object to begin with. It belongs to whoever is capable."

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too slow."

"Shameless!" Su Xiaoruan's face flushed with anger. "Lu Yin clearly took down the vast majority of its health!"

Captain Cui, the Night Warlock, laughed sinisterly. "Little beauty, in this Rift of Time, there's no such rule as 'first come, first served'."

"The law of the jungle is the eternal truth."

The Shield Warrior also stepped forward with a grin, slamming his heavy shield onto the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"What, not satisfied? Want to see if your strength is greater or if our fists are harder?"

The three teams from the Great Han Alliance, twelve Professionals in total, quickly spread out, faintly forming an encirclement.

They were clearly veterans with great teamwork; each person's positioning was meticulous, blocking all possible escape routes for Lu Yin's group of four.

"People from the Celestial Empire?"

Looking at the surrounded Lu Yin and his companions, Captain Piao spoke leisurely.

Although he had seen that Lu Yin's summoned beasts were powerful, as a summoner himself, Lu Yin's main body was bound to be extremely fragile.

Plus, they had a Night Warlock who could perform Mass Invisibility.

Killing a mere summoner was naturally no trouble at all, which was the source of his confidence.

"Knowing we are from the Celestial Empire, a tiny Han Alliance like yours dares to steal our mob?"

Su Xiaoruan gritted her teeth like an infuriated little tiger.

"Heh, so what if you're from the Celestial Empire?"

"You were nothing more than a former vassal alliance of our Great Han Alliance."

As soon as Captain Piao finished speaking, several team members behind him burst into laughter, their gazes toward Lu Yin's group full of contempt.

As a transmigrator, Lu Yin was momentarily stunned into a laugh by those words.

The Celestial Empire is a vassal of Great Han?

This is truly a grandson telling his grandfather to call him 'daddy'—he has no idea who's whose father.

Lu Yin slowly raised his head, a cold arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"People of the Han Alliance, if you hand over the loot and kneel to admit your mistake, I can let bygones be bygones."

"I will only say this once, and you only have this one chance."

Captain Piao was stunned for a moment before bursting into an exaggerated laugh, and the Han Alliance members behind him joined in.

"Hahaha! Did you hear that? This guy from the Celestial Empire wants us to kneel and admit our mistake?"

Captain Piao spread his hands exaggeratedly and turned to his companions. "It seems he's gone mad from anger."

Captain Cui, the Night Warlock, added with a sinister smile, "Captain Piao, I think he just can't see the current situation clearly."

"It's twelve of us against four of them, and his summoned beasts just went through a major battle; their skills must be on cooldown."

"Exactly. Since that's the case, I'll also only say this once, and you only have this one chance."

"Hand over all your equipment and items, kneel and admit your mistake, and I might show some mercy."

"As for those three beauties, as long you're willing to join my team, I, Piao Duan Gen, guarantee you'll experience what true power is."

The team members behind him let out lewd laughs, their eyes sweeping over Milian and the others with ill intent.

A cold light flashed in Ling Ying's eyes, and the dagger in her hand began to glow with an eerie light.

Su Xiaoruan was trembling with rage and had already pulled out a buff potion, ready to strike.

Milian gently pressed down on her arm and shook her head, though her gaze remained fixed on Lu Yin.

"Sigh, ignorance truly is a sin."

Hearing Piao Duan Gen's response, Lu Yin sighed.

As Lu Yin's sigh fell, even more piercing laughter erupted from the Han Alliance team.

"Hahaha! Captain Piao, it seems this guy from the Celestial Empire still hasn't recognized reality!"

"Do we need to help him wake up?"

Piao Duan Gen waved his hand contemptuously, signaling his team members to be quiet.

He took a step forward and pointed his scepter at Lu Yin.

"Since you refuse to see reason, don't blame us for being impolite."

"Cui Shengche, move!"

Cui Shengche, the Night Warlock, raised his staff with a sinister grin and began chanting.

A surge of shadow energy instantly enveloped the twelve members of the Han Alliance, their figures blurring as they entered stealth once more.

"Not good! They're going to ambush us!" Ling Ying barked, her dagger already unsheathed.

However, Lu Yin remained standing where he was, the cold arc at the corner of his mouth deepening.

The moment Cui Shengche's Mass Invisibility took effect, ten sharp attacks suddenly erupted from the void, striking at Lu Yin from all directions.

Grins of impending victory had already appeared on the faces of the Han Alliance members.

Yet, Lu Yin didn't even move his feet.

Three pitch-black magic circles beneath his feet suddenly erupted with a heart-stopping eerie light.

A dense necrotic aura swept out like a storm, throwing the surrounding time-space energy into chaos.

"Those who harm my master shall die!"

Along with this cold declaration that seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, three terrifying figures stepped out from the magic circles, their necrotic aura surging like a tide.

"Destruction Heavy Strike!"

Yarberna swung her exaggeratedly large hammer in a horizontal sweep, her destructive aura instantly enveloping four Han Alliance Professionals.

"Abolition Spiral!"

The black flame spear in Kasa's hand also thrust out violently, the spiraling black flames burning through the void and engulfing two Han Alliance Professionals.

"Shadow Prison Shackles!"

Krausi's figure flickered like a ghost as countless pitch-black shadow chains erupted from the void, instantly binding the remaining Han Alliance Professionals.

The bound enemies stiffened, their invisibility instantly broken, their faces filled with horror.

Krausi didn't give them a single chance to make a sound; his bone bow vibrated rapidly, and four pitch-black energy arrows accurately struck their throats.
