CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 213: ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOU

"Who are you!"

The restaurant immediately descended into chaos.

Some were horrified beyond belief and retreated repeatedly.

Someone loudly questioned him, only to be cut down by Lu Lin with one strike.

Lu Lin sneered, seeing that these people still had the audacity to question him in such times.

Did they think they weren’t dying fast enough?

The dancing girls screamed and ran around frantically like headless chickens.

Lu Lin used Inch Step, cutting them down one by one.

To him, to the Humans, these people were all part of the Alien Race.

Alien Race, they must be eliminated.

Regardless of strength or gender.

A maid delivering food by the entrance was so shocked that she dropped her tray and wine, fleeing quickly.

After swiftly slaughtering the dozen or so people inside the restaurant, Lu Lin went outside to check.

Several maids instinctively ran toward the kitchen, where six chefs dressed in white were located.

It appeared that they were trying to imitate the Human style but failed miserably.

"Miss, spare us, we’re just ordinary people, never committed any crimes."

"Please, let us go, we swear not to tell anyone about your deeds."

"We beg you, we’ll even kowtow to you. We’re insignificant nobodies."

These maids knew they couldn’t escape, kneeling before Lu Lin and pleading tearfully, leaving him somewhat flustered.

Yet he still raised the broken knife in his hand.

Taking slow steps in white stockings, he approached them.

Innocent?

True, these aliens hadn’t committed any crimes.

Of course, that was due to their lack of capability.

But had the ordinary Humans living on the Nine Major Planets committed any wrongdoings?

Before Bukong King was promoted to be a Titled King, Humans had no way to prevent the Alien Race from opening space cracks and committing all sorts of massacres within human society.

Those ordinary people who died tragically under the alien blades, were they not innocent?

Lu Lin swung his knife down.

Blood splattered everywhere.

This was a war between species.

His compassion could only be extended to his own kind.

Aliens, whether they had committed crimes or not, must be... killed!

Firming his resolve, Lu Lin slaughtered each maid and chef. By now, more than thirty people in the villa, whether rich or poor, were completely wiped out.

Strengthening.

Lu Lin had to become stronger to better protect his family.

His parents, his friends.

Lu Lin hoped that the next time space cracks appeared over Green City, his parents and friends wouldn’t have to struggle in helplessness and despair.

Eliminate all aliens.

Reclaim the Exotic Battlefield for humanity.

At least, under the current rules and order of the Human Federation, such horrifying events wouldn’t happen.

Lu Lin calmed himself, gathering the bodies into the kitchen.

He then sat in the bloodstained restaurant, feasting grandly.

The quality and taste of the food were still quite good.

Lu Lin even saw that some dishes were made in imitation of the Human Federation’s culinary habits.

Only when his belly threatened to burst did he recall Bai Buyi and others roasting meat in the cave.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of food left here to bring back to them later.

Not just food, but also the Whistling Wind Horses.

When Lu Lin was chasing the maids and chefs earlier, he saw a dozen or so impressive horses in the villa’s stable. With these mounts, he and his team could quickly return to Food God City.

Working fast, Lu Lin packed all the food into his Storage Ring, then went to the stable to tie the Whistling Wind Horses together. This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about the horses running off when he mounted them.

These well-trained Whistling Wind Horses were docile. After feeding them some fodder, Lu Lin could manage them as he pleased.

"Let’s go."

Lu Lin said softly.

He wanted to set the villa and all the bodies ablaze, but that would attract attention from Hang Tang City. If a Level 6 or above master showed up, it would be hard for Lu Lin to escape.

Just as he was about to open the villa’s main gate to leave, a group of people approached outside.

Lu Lin heard the sound of hooves and people laughing and talking loudly.

Had Hang Ai invited someone over?

Lu Lin furrowed his brows slightly and climbed to the wall to look into the distance.

The star belt in the sky cast a silvery light as he saw five knights approaching.

Their hair in a smoke state, they were also of the Yanliu Clan.

Not wanting to risk leaking the news, Lu Lin carefully re-tethered the horses in the stable and waited at the entrance for the newcomers.

"Hahaha, big brother."

"I heard you were hosting a banquet here tonight, so I brought a few friends to join."

"Please open the door."

From this voice, this tone, Lu Lin instantly recognized the second son of the Hang Tang Star General, Hang Song.

Geez, as if mocking Hang Ai this afternoon wasn’t enough, he deliberately came to the villa to flaunt.

In Lu Lin’s perception, the four that Hang Song brought were all at Level Five strength.

While he had fewer friends than Hang Ai, the quality was outstanding.

These four Level Five friends could easily take down all of Hang Ai’s lackeys, even sending just one.

Clearly, they came with hostile intent.

Luckily, Hang Ai was already dead, or he might die of rage from his younger brother’s antics.

Level Five.

Lu Lin calculated that if he acted quickly enough, it was possible to kill them all before they could react.

He needed to lure them in first.

If even one or two managed to escape, Lu Lin would have a significant problem.

The door gently opened, and Lu Lin, dressed as a cat-eared girl, appeared before Hang Song and the others.

Shyly, he said, "Please, come in."

"Oh, and she’s pink-white!"

Hang Song’s face showed a mischievous smile, "I didn’t expect that big brother has truly been like a toad sleeping with a frog these past two years — ugly, yet playing the field."

"It’s possible, but even a pink-white cat-ear girl would start at a hundred thousand star coins, where does big brother get that much money?"

Hang Song teased for a couple of seconds and then led the way into the villa without a shred of doubt.

The four friends he had brought along also had relaxed, playful smiles on their faces.

For geniuses like them who had the potential to get promoted to higher levels, they had no mind for enjoyment right now.

Once they become more powerful in the future, not to mention pink-white cat girls, even special races like British Shorthair and Russian Blue would be attainable, and if they could break through to Star General level, they could even try Ragdolls.

The four laughed dismissively and followed Hang Song into the villa.

Lu Lin smiled.

Broken knife in hand.

Swish!

A Level Five alien, horse and rider, was split in two by Lu Lin.

An alien in front of him turned around curiously to look back, and a well-formed head flew into the air.

That’s two.

Lu Lin silently counted in his heart.

With a powerful stamp of his foot, he flew up to the third person.

"Die!"

The opponent sensed something was off behind him, and just as he was about to draw his weapon from his waist, Lu Lin slashed down diagonally with a knife.

"Hang Song, you damn..."

The Yanliu alien closest to Hang Song roared, his hair rapidly changing from a smoke state to willow branches.

The willow branches grew almost instantly with the wind.

But, it was too late... already.

Earth Shattering.

Ten Steps Kill, Seize the Gap.

The black as ink broken knife in Lu Lin’s hand was like a black Divine Dragon, piercing through the defenses of countless willow branches to reach that person’s face.

Poof,

The broken knife cut the throat with blood spilling.

The branches still dancing in the air instantly fell to the ground, withering, decaying.

"You! You! You..."

Hang Song turned around to see Lu Lin, in the blink of an eye, kill the four Level Five masters he brought, and was so shocked he couldn’t say a word.

His heart sank straight down.

After all these years, he hadn’t realized his big brother was such a ruthless and decisive person.

He didn’t even wait for them to dismount before having assassins ambush them.

Judging from Lu Lin’s swift execution of four people, Hang Song estimated that Lu Lin’s ability had at least reached Level Six.

"Hang Ai, you ruthless bastard, do you want to kill your own brother to inherit the City Lord’s position?"

"Don’t forget there’s still the third brother Hang Dou below."

Hang Song shouted into the depths of the villa, not caring at all about Lu Lin approaching.

If Hang Ai really wanted to kill him, he couldn’t escape no matter what.

If Hang Ai didn’t want to kill him, he wouldn’t make a move casually.

Hang Song was gambling now.

"Don’t think so much; Hang Ai was one step ahead of you."

Lu Lin had no idea why this person had so much drama in his heart.

Always putting on an I’m-the-brainy-one act made Lu Lin uncomfortable.

Just like that Feng Yuanyu he met on Starship C0977.

The premise of brains-play is when everyone’s abilities are about equal.

Your ability is so weak, yet you learn to play with brains, always putting on a wise mastermind demeanor for what?

As if you’re the only smart one in the entire world.

"One step ahead of me?"

"Ahead in what?"

Hang Song couldn’t react upon hearing Lu Lin’s timidly spoken words.

"You’ll know soon enough."

Lu Lin smiled, the near-perfect stunning face making Hang Song temporarily forget the threat of death.

Then, a flash of knife light.

Hang Song was parted into flesh and head.

"Now, you know."

Lu Lin chuckled softly, throwing the corpses into the villa’s hall.

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Lin suddenly remembered that he hadn’t looted the corpses yet.

If Hang Song hadn’t come over, he would have almost forgotten about this.

However, the few of them were just a bunch of rich brats, with nothing valuable on them aside from some Star Crystals and star coins.

But on Hang Song and the others’ bodies, Lu Lin found a few things that looked like secret books at a glance.

[Heavenly Saber Art]

[Chaotic Wind Blade]

Among the five, there were three secret books, one Heavenly Saber Art, and two Chaotic Wind Knives.

It seems they belonged to the same school.

Lu Lin shook his head, put away the secret books along with some star coins and Star Crystals, then turned and left with the horse.

Hang Tang has three sons, Hang Ai is dead, and Hang Song is dead.

There’s really just Hang Dou left now.

This little guy is considered lucky; with two strong brothers above him, thanks to Lu Lin, he directly became the sole heir of the City Lord’s Mansion, with no one to compete with him now.

If there’s a chance to meet this little fella in the future, Lu Lin plans to hit him up for some money.

In the night.

Lu Lin activated his Guiding Star Skill, and slowly walked towards the place where Tian Dayin and the others were hiding.

The reason he had to go slowly was to wear off the transformation time.

Lu Lin didn’t want to meet them in a form that could rival Tian Dayin and Tian Dalan.

After some time, Lu Lin quickly dispelled the transformation effect of the Unnamed Mask.

Finally, he returned to his male form.

Lu Lin silently resolved that, unless necessary, he would not use this thing again.

At the same time, he decided to pay more attention when seeing female aliens, as the pink-white cat-eared girl image should never appear again.
