144: Chapter 144 The Dark Moon Brotherhood!

The afternoon in Time Town was still peaceful, with sparse pedestrians on the streets—a stark contrast to the clamor of the past two days.

Lu Yin and the Three Women found a secluded inn and entered to rest.

Although three hours wasn't long, the waiting process was still agonizing.

Lu Yin stood by the window, watching the pedestrians continuously passing by on the street.

Suddenly, several figures clad in black caught Lu Yin's attention.

Those people walked straight toward the inn where they were staying, as if they knew they were there.

"Are those people sent by Xiao Wanguo to meet me?"

With a trace of unease, Lu Yin dialed Xiao Wanguo's number to confirm.

Once the call connected, Lu Yin immediately sensed something was wrong.

What came through the communicator wasn't Xiao Wanguo's steady voice, but a strange sound of electrical interference.

"This isn't right." Lu Yin whirled around.

At that very moment, the inn room door shattered with a crash, and several black-clad figures burst into the room like ghosts.

The leader held a short blade wreathed in black mist, aiming straight for Lu Yin's throat.

"Time-Space Imprisonment!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yin's eyes, and time within ten meters of him instantly froze.

The black-clad man's movements came to an abrupt halt, the blade mere inches from Lu Yin's throat.

"Destruction Heavy Strike!"

The next instant, Yarberna's cold voice suddenly rang out as a hammer smashed into the black-clad man's body.

-659865!

The massive damage number instantly killed the black-clad man.

"What's going on?!"

The sudden attack jolted Milian and the other two women awake in the adjoining room.

"They're from the Dark Moon Brotherhood!"

Milian recognized the black-clad men's identity at a glance, her face instantly paling.

"But how did they know we were hiding here?! Did someone get hit with a tracking spell?!"

As they were puzzling over this, the other black-clad men had already launched another assault.

Lu Yin's eyes turned sharp: "Let's deal with them first."

With a thought, his Attribute Conversion rune instantly activated, concentrating most of his attribute points into Agility.

"Space-Time Severance!"

With a low shout, the sword in his hand traced an arcane trajectory.

Where the blade passed, space seemed to tear open a fine crack, directly piercing through the two nearest black-clad men.

-125421!

-112136!

Two astonishing damage numbers floated up as the men's bodies, torn by the power of space-time, were ripped in half.

"Let's go, we can't stay and fight!"

Lu Yin glanced at the Professionals continuously gathering on the street.

He knew among these people, there were definitely still Dark Moon Brotherhood members lying in wait.

But obviously, he couldn't just sit here waiting to be captured.

Just as Lu Yin and the others prepared to break out, several strange runes suddenly lit up on the street.

Dark purple light coiled upward like venomous snakes, forming a barrier around the inn.

"It's a spatial confinement barrier!" Milian cried out in alarm. "It seems they came prepared!"

Lu Yin frowned tightly. From the time they exited the Dungeon until now, it had only been about two hours at most.

To lay such a meticulous ambush in such a short time meant the other side had been fully aware of their movements all along.

Moreover, daring to make a move within Time Town showed their utter audacity.

"Should we split up and break out separately? As long as someone can escape..."

"We can pressure the Dark Moon Brotherhood through the Celestial Dynasty's official channels. They wouldn't dare do anything to us then."

Milian quickly thought it through and said to Lu Yin.

But Lu Yin shook his head. The fact that the other side had gone to such lengths clearly meant they wouldn't give up easily.

By the time the Celestial Dynasty's forces arrived, it would be far too late.

So now, they could only rely on themselves.

"Then what do you plan to do?"

Seeing Lu Yin shake his head, Milian asked urgently.

"Follow behind me. We're going out through the front."

Lu Yin's gaze swept over the increasing number of black-clad figures outside the window, but a cold curve lifted the corner of his mouth.

"Through the front?!"

The Three Women thought they had misheard, but Lu Yin had already taken the lead and moved.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In an instant, the Three Legion Commanders and his Death Legion were all summoned forth.

A dense mass of Death Soldier instantly filled the cramped interior of the inn.

"For our Lord!"

As a Legion Commander, Kasa charged at the forefront, his body burning with black flames as he shot into the street like a meteor.

A violent aura of death instantly swept over the front row of black-clad men.

The black flames spread as if alive, burning everything they touched to ashes.

"Death Legion, charge!"

With Kasa's roar, the dense tide of Death Soldier surged out of the inn, clashing fiercely with the black-clad men on the street.

"Arrogant fool, actually charging out from the front."

"A mere Summoner, do you really think you can overturn the heavens?!"

"Shadow Swamp!"

Among them, the leader of the black-clad men snorted coldly and slammed his staff heavily onto the ground.

The entire street surface instantly transformed into a churning swamp of black mud.

Viscous dark energy crawled upward like living things, attempting to drag the charging Death Soldier into the abyss.

"Black Flame Incarnation!"

"Black Flame Sovereign!"

The moment he saw the black-clad leader, Kasa unleashed all his skills.

Jet-black flames erupted like a volcanic spray, spreading across the entire area.

The viscous mud on the ground evaporated completely upon contact with the black flames.

"Heh, truly powerful summons."

"But what about this?"

"Shadow Bind!"

The black-clad leader sneered, and his staff suddenly erupted with a blinding purple light.

A mass of shadowy energy coiled around Kasa's limbs like venomous snakes, causing his massive frame to stall abruptly.

"Shadow Reap!"

The next second, a scythe formed of condensed shadow energy materialized above Kasa's head.

Just as it was about to fall, a figure arrived at lightning speed.

"Heavy Hammer Shock!"

Yarberna's giant hammer, carrying the force of a thunderous avalanche, smashed heavily onto the shadow scythe above Kasa's head.

Shadow energy and the heavy hammer collided, erupting in a piercing tearing sound.

The tremendous impact shattered the shadow scythe into pieces, dispersing as specks of purple light in the air.

"Heh, another one, is it?"

The black-clad leader looked at Yarberna without much surprise.

Because according to the intelligence he had received, Lu Yin possessed four such summons in total.

And they had set up an inescapable net precisely for these four summons.

Swish!

Just as Yarberna saved Kasa, a pitch-black arrow shot toward the black-clad leader with extreme speed.

-865659!

The arrow pierced the black-clad leader's skull, floating up an astonishing critical damage number.

However, just as it seemed this strike had succeeded, Krausi, who had fired the arrow, frowned.

"A clone..."
