Night Owl stood with his hands behind his back at the forefront of his elite invading force, a confident smile plastered on his face.
That face, mostly hidden by the mask, must be contorted into a smug, triumphant chrysanthemum.
"Lin Yi, long time no see!" His voice had a metallic quality, like a cheap voice changer. "I thought you'd be hiding in the newbie village, but I didn't expect you to choose the path to hell! Today is your death day!"
Lin Yi completely ignored his classic villain lines, his eyes quickly scanning his surroundings.
The group that Night Owl brought was quite large and well-equipped; they were clearly ruthless characters who had spent a lot of money.
A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, like the calm before a storm.
Chu Yao's voice rang in his ear, as calm as ever: "Master, analysis complete. The enemy force consists of 128 people, with an average level of 75. They excel in melee combat and ranged firepower suppression. Weakness: Their formation is too dense, lacking flexibility and mobility."
"Received." Lin Yi nodded slightly, already having a plan in mind.
He glanced at Long Wu beside him, who was gripping his sword, his palms sweating, looking extremely nervous.
Su Qing stood silently behind him, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"What are you afraid of!" Lin Yi slapped Long Wu on the shoulder in annoyance. "Just wait and see my performance! All you have to do is shout '666'!"
Long Wu nearly fell over from his slap, and said with a wronged expression, "Brother Yi, these are elite troops! Not slimes from the newbie village! Take it easy!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.
His gaze fell once again on the crystal ball not far away; that was his true target.
"Are you ready?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
"We can start anytime!" Chu Yao's voice was full of determination.
"Then... let's get started!"
With Lin Yi's command, the battle erupted instantly!
Night Owl's forces surged toward Lin Yi and his companions like a flood bursting its banks.
The lights of various skills flashed, and deafening battle shouts echoed throughout the secret chamber.
"Long-range firepower suppression! Turn them into sieves!" Night Owl waved his arms and shouted wildly.
Countless arrows, fireballs, and ice spikes rained down on Lin Yi and his companions.
Long Wu screamed in terror, raising his shield to completely cover himself.
Su Qing quickly unleashed her defensive skills, attempting to withstand the enemy's attacks.
However, Lin Yi stood still, motionless, as if he were stunned by fear.
"Heh, scared out of your wits? This is the Time-Space Ruler?" Night Owl's face lit up with an even more smug smile upon seeing Lin Yi's reaction. "I thought he was something special, but he's just a pretty face!"
However, just as those attacks were about to hit Lin Yi, he moved!
His figure suddenly became blurry, as if he had turned into a blur, weaving through the enemy's attacks.
His speed was so fast that it even exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could perceive.
"Time-space acceleration!" Lin Yi shouted, and a powerful force surged through his body instantly.
Time seemed to slow down countless times around him, and the enemy's attacks appeared sluggish and laughable in his eyes.
He waved his hands, and the power of spacetime was like a sharp blade, drawing invisible trajectories in the air.
The enemies who stood in his way didn't even have time to scream before they fell to the ground, turning into a pile of data fragments.
Blood splattered everywhere, and severed limbs flew about.
In just a moment, a small group of enemies who tried to stop Lin Yi were completely wiped out!
The whole process was as easy and effortless as chopping melons and vegetables, clean and efficient.
"Holy crap! Brother Yi is awesome!" Long Wu's eyes widened as he looked at Lin Yi, who was like a demon in front of him, and he couldn't help but swear.
He originally thought he was doomed this time, but he never expected Lin Yi to be so powerful, which completely overturned his understanding.
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Qing's eyes. She knew Lin Yi was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.
In her eyes, his figure seemed to have transformed into an omnipotent god.
The smile on Night Owl's face froze instantly, replaced by deep shock.
He never expected Lin Yi to be so powerful, far exceeding his expectations.
"This...this is impossible!" he muttered in disbelief. "How could he be so strong?!"
Shocked as he was, Night Owl was an experienced boss-level figure and quickly calmed down.
"Don't panic! He's just fast! Concentrate your firepower! I don't believe he can dodge all the attacks!" Night Owl frantically commanded his troops.
More enemies surged toward Lin Yi, the light of various skills converging into one, like a dazzling firework, with tremendous momentum.
Lin Yi was not intimidated by the scene before him; instead, he became even calmer.
He dodged enemy attacks as he made his way toward the crystal ball.
He discovered that although the Night Owls' forces were numerous, their attack methods followed certain patterns.
Their attack rhythm, the timing of skill release, and even their movement all follow a certain fixed pattern.
"I see..." Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. "Is this your weakness?"
He took a deep breath, mobilized the power of spacetime within his body, and began to predict the enemy's actions.
"Time and space prediction!" Lin Yi shouted in a low voice. His brain was like a high-speed computer, quickly analyzing the enemy's movement trajectory and predicting their next move.
In his eyes, the enemy's movements became like slow motion, and all their flaws were exposed.
He skillfully took advantage of the gaps in the enemy's attacks, weaving through the hail of bullets with ease, as if strolling in a garden.
Every dodge was perfectly timed; every counterattack was incredibly precise.
Those attacks that originally seemed fierce became utterly harmless in his presence.
"How is this possible?!" Night Owl watched as Lin Yi dodged the attacks as if dancing, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
He couldn't believe that someone could predict the enemy's actions so accurately; it was beyond his comprehension.
"How...how did he do that?!" Night Owl couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
However, Lin Yi did not give him much time to think.
He approached the crystal ball step by step, each step steady and firm, as if death itself were descending, reaping the lives of his enemies.
However, just as Lin Yi was about to approach the crystal ball... However, just as Lin Yi was about to approach the crystal ball, and his fingertips were almost touching the cool surface, Night Owl's chrysanthemum-like smiling face instantly twisted into a constipated color!
"Hehehe... Kid, do you think I don't have some hidden tricks up my sleeve?" Night Owl chuckled, suddenly clasping his hands together and muttering incantations, much like a shaman performing a ritual.
A chilling energy surge suddenly erupted, and a visible black energy wave, like a wild horse unleashed, rushed straight towards Lin Yi with a world-destroying momentum.
Lin Yi's pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
This energy wave was different from the previous attacks. It was not only a crushing force, but also carried a strange corrosive quality, as if it wanted to tear space apart.
"Holy crap! This old bastard is playing dirty tricks!" Long Wu exclaimed, frantically trying to rush forward to help, but Su Qing grabbed him.
"Don't go! You'll just be food for them!" Su Qing said anxiously, she could feel the terrifying energy wave.
Lin Yi dared not take the attack head-on, and retreated rapidly while activating the "space-time barrier" in an attempt to block the impact of the energy wave.
However, the black energy wave, like a leech, easily penetrated the spacetime barrier and continued to approach him.
"Pfft!" Lin Yi grunted. Although he managed to dodge the direct impact of the energy wave with his amazing reaction speed, he was still hit by the aftershock. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily into the stone wall behind him.
"Cough cough..." Lin Yi coughed twice, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He scrambled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"How about it, Time and Space Ruler? This isn't a pleasant feeling, is it?" Night Owl laughed wildly, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.
"This is the 'Void Annihilation Wave' that I carefully prepared for you, specifically to deal with flashy guys like you! If you get hit by it, you'll be lucky to escape with your life!"
Lin Yi stretched his slightly numb body, looked up at Night Owl, and said, "Interesting... It seems you really don't take me seriously unless I show you some real skills." A dangerous smile played on his lips as he asked softly, "Chu Yao, analyze this thing, what is it?"
