Lin Huang had learned many secrets from his conversation with Sword12.
Apart from the matters regarding Sword11 and the swordmasterâs bodyguards, Lin Huang also asked a few other questions afterward, which Sword12 answered one after another.
Once he had answered all the questions put to him, Sword12 voluntarily conceded defeat and soon vanished in front of Lin Huang.
Seeing the push notification about defeating a Sword Servant, Lin Huang then turned his head and looked over to where Unrivaled God and the rest were.
The situation was getting more and more dangerous for Unrivaled God and the others. Apart from Fallen Starâs team of three, the remaining two groups were having a hard time of it. Out of 18 mini sword formations, there were only 10 left currently. At the moment, almost all the members of the 10 mini sword formations were thinking of how to escape. They had completely lost their will to fight. If not for Unrivaled God and the other three who would come in occasionally, the two teams would have been defeated by the two BOSSes from the start.
Lin Huang also noticed that Unrivaled God and the other three had not recovered much of their Divine Power at all. However, he had already expected that. After all, most of their Divine Power had been drained completely. They would need at least ten hours to fully recuperate.
Seeing their situation, Lin Huang smirked slightly and made his way unhurriedly to the scene of battle. He watched, standing on a roof not far away.
Only when Lin Huang made his way back did everyone realize that Xie Lin had taken care of another BOSS. They had had no time to look at the recent push notification at all. However, it was not hard for them to guess what the push notification said, seeing that Xie Lin was now here.
Lin Huang watched the battle in silence. It seemed as if he had no intention of interfering.
Unrivaled God and the other three had thought Lin Huang would join the battle. When he still did nothing after they waited a moment, they finally could not help but communicate with him through voice transmission.
âXie Lin, weâll yield all three BOSSes to you.â
âI canât do that. After all, these three BOSSes came for you guys,â Lin Huang replied through voice transmission, smiling. He still had no intention of joining the fight.
Unrivaled God and the other three cursed secretly to themselves. They roughly figured that not only did Xie Lin want the BOSS, but he wanted other benefits as well.
As the four of them fell silent, some of the competitors from the two teams fighting noticed Lin Huang. Someone immediately shouted to Lin Huang, âMr. Xie Lin, please kill these BOSSes for us. We really canât take it any longer!â
âThatâs right, come help us now!â
Many people among the crowd voiced their agreement one after another. They had completely lost their mood after being beaten up by the two BOSSes. Right now they could not even escape, as the BOSSes had them completely at their mercy.
âHelp you? Whatâs in it for me?â Lin Huang asked in a deep, serious voice.
âThese three BOSS are yours, we wonât fight with you over the points! After youâve picked a BOSS, we can even keep two of them occupied for you so that you can fight at ease,â a clear-headed young man in the crowd shouted immediately.
âThereâs no need for that, I can fight three on my own,â Lin Huang declined the suggestion right away, âIâd just have to wait until the BOSS killed all of you, and then heâd be mine. You could help me as well by draining the BOSSesâ Divine Power while you fight; why would I be against that?â Lin Huang switched topics after that, âBut of course, I can help you too if you really want me to. However, my fee is very high...â
The crowd immediately realized that Xie Lin wanted to seize the opportunity to extort them, and their expressions turned sour right away.
âWhich is more important, your money or your life? Think about it for a while; Iâm not in a rush anyway. These three BOSSes will still be mine when youâre all dead.â
In reality, Lin Huang was anxious because every hour he wasted, the less time he had to kill every other BOSS. However, he could not show it at the moment or he might end up being delayed for a few hours by these people. The less nervous and more apathetic he seemed, the more anxious these people would be, and the more valuable the items he could ask for in exchange.
As expected, Unrivaled Godâs team could no longer take it after he waited for two to three minutes.
âWhat do you want? Name your price,â Unrivaled God said expressionlessly.
Lin Huang grinned, âHow about thisâweâll calculate on an average of how many people are present now. Since there are so many of you, Iâll give you a discountâfive true god-level sword skill inheritances per person!â
âWhy donât you just rob someone?!â Forbidden Lamella shouted unwillingly.
âHow could I earn so much from mere robbery?!â Lin Huang responded while smiling. Forbidden Lamella was so infuriated he was lost for words.
âIsnât it unethical for you to take advantage of us right now?â Departed Featherâs expression was grim as well.
âHey, let me make this clear. Iâm not friends with competitors like yourselves. Not only that, but weâre also enemies in this trial. Have you forgotten that you teamed up to kill me around half an hour ago?
âNow that you guys are in trouble, itâs not my job to bail you out for free. Given that Iâm proposing you hire me to help you, Iâm already not taking into account past enmity. Even normal families pay nannies to look after their children, and you want me to save your lives for free?!â
Unrivaled God and the rest present were bereft of speech at Lin Huangâs little speech.
âItâs not that we want you to help us for free, but your fee is a little too high,â Frontier could not help interrupting, âFurthermore, weâve paid you ten sword skill inheritances earlier. We really donât have that many sword skills left. The others donât come from grade-7 organizations like we do. Theyâre considered to have gone through intensive training if they manage to master two to three true god-level sword skills while theyâre at virtual god-level.â
âYes, heâs right!â A group of bystanders agreed immediately.
âXie Lin, why donât we give you two sword skills each? That should be within the range of what everyone can afford,â Unrivaled God added on quickly from his place on the sidelines.
âSince thatâs the case, Iâll compromise. Three per person. Thatâs my final offer. If you disagree, I can only wish you guys the best,â In reality, three sword skills were the figure he had in mind. He knew that no matter how many he asked for, Unrivaled God and the rest would definitely bargain. Therefore, he thought he would name a high price of five each, âYou can leave after youâve paid, I donât need you guys to buy time for me.â
After a moment of hesitation, Unrivaled God and the rest finally agreed. In reality, the price Lin Huang named was within their expectations. They had already foreseen that Lin Huang would bargain when Unrivaled God proposed two sword skills each.
Including Unrivaled God and the other three, there were a total of 43 people present. Lin Huang delivered three consecutive slashes with his sword, throwing out the three BOSSes and appearing before Unrivaled God in a flash.
After quickly paying up their three true god-level sword skill inheritances, the other competitors fled the scene.
Lin Huang ran a scan with Divine Telekinesis after getting all 129 sword skills. After verifying that the sword skills were fine, he released Unrivaled God and the other three to go on their way.
Just as Unrivaled God and the other three left, a BOSS chased after them while another two blocked Lin Huangâs way.
Lin Huang scoffed, using Sword Dao true meaning to toss aside the two BOSSes who were obstructing his path. The next instant, he appeared before the BOSS who was chasing Unrivaled Godâs group, blocking his way.
âIâm sorry, theyâve sold the three of you to me!â
