Chapter 1376

Lin Cheng gave a thorough round of mental grumbling, then calmly and evenly settled into an attacking stance, his gaze cutting sideways, full concentration tinged with a measure of caution.

"Come and fight!"

Maybe the enemy was deliberately showing weakness, and was planning to ambush them?

That's not right—if it was an ambush, wouldn't a backstab during that last wave have been even better?

"Human, don't be so eager to fight and kill. I sensed a pure aura of nature on you." The white-haired elf elder suddenly shifted his tone, a hint of curiosity and coldness flashing in his eyes, and said icily, "That is also why I didn't kill you just now."

"Heh-heh."

Lin Cheng let out two dry, agreeing chuckles.

Suddenly, he pointed behind and above the white-haired elf, pretending to be shocked: "Look! There's a beauty without any clothes!"

"Where?"

The white-haired elf turned around at once toward the window behind him, even stepping back a few paces to get a clearer look.

The result was an open window, and nothing else.

"Did I miss it?"

When he turned back around, there was still a note of regret in the white-haired elf's tone.

Suddenly, his left eye went black.

"Miss my ass!"

Lin Cheng threw another punch.

"Ah… my eye." The white-haired elf clutched his left eye and cried out in pain.

"Much easier on the eyes now."

The corner of Lin Cheng's mouth curved up into his signature smile.

"Despicable human! I'll kill you!" The white-haired elf radiated terrifying killing intent, his long robe billowing without any wind.

Being wounded in his vulnerable eyes twice by a fifth-tier ant was undoubtedly a tremendous disgrace.

"Where are you?"

His injured eyes could only squint into a narrow slit.

The elf's once-excellent vision now showed some changes—Lin Cheng before him had split from one into three.

The white-haired elf knew his vision was playing tricks, so he could only judge the opponent's position from sound—left!

"Watch this!"

"You actually believed that?"

Lin Cheng stared in shock at the other party from where he stood, then suddenly waved his hand to fire off a wind blade, striking the wall to his own left and leaving an astonishing gash.

"Wasn't it left?"

The white-haired elf paid Lin Cheng no heed, muttered to himself, squinted his eyes once more, and carefully judged Lin Cheng's location.

Even though Lin Cheng didn't move from the spot, in the white-haired elf's eyes that figure kept swaying left and right.

If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move.

Lin Cheng now also couldn't judge the white-haired elf's condition—the gap in strength was a hard fact.

The enemy was at least seventh-tier, while he and Miss Qianhui combined had at best sixth-tier strength; managing to ambush the opponent twice was already quite something.

He didn't dare hope he could defeat the opponent, but escaping should be no problem. Lin Cheng shot Miss Qianhui a meaningful look.

"Beep beep… the person you're signaling is currently offline in the IQ department."

"Lin Cheng, what's wrong with your eyes? Got dust in them?"

"My bad." Lin Cheng admitted it—he never should have pinned his hopes on Miss Qianhui. If he'd had any normal teammate, he could have directly taken the four female elves on the ground hostage; no matter how awesome the other side was, they wouldn't dare act rashly, and then he could have seized the chance to run.

"Wouldn't that have been sweet?"

Now it was fine—only the path of combat remained.

"Go for it! Miss Qianhui—today it's either them dead, or them dead!"

"Mm-mm."

Lin Cheng was forced to accept this fact.

Flower Butterfly Fan!

Killing Strike Peak!

Soaring Dragon Flame Array!

The instant the words fell, Miss Qianhui charged out to kill, the Crimson-Pattern Folding Fan in her hand flying out at the same time. Seizing the chance, Lin Cheng reached out and pointed at the spot above the white-haired elf's head.

Forced Invasion!

A spatial rift appeared, and mechanical servants poured down from it without end.

A flash of red light in the eye sockets, and the falling mechanical servants all entered combat stance.

"…What is this thing?"

The white-haired elf had just dodged the Crimson-Pattern Folding Fan when he sensed something seemed to be falling from above. He looked up and saw nothing but dense, packed illusions.

Mm, no aura of living creatures or danger.

His ears seemed to catch the creaking, grinding sound of metal turning.

What on earth was it?

Thud!

A dull thud.

The white-haired elf's forehead happened to smash right into a mechanical servant, and his body dropped straight down—perfectly dodging Miss Qianhui's full-power punch.

Under Lin Cheng's incredulous gaze, the so-called white-haired elf elder was thus knocked out by a mechanical servant and collapsed to the ground.

His heart went into frantic grumbling.

No way? It can't be real? Are you here to be funny?

Lin Cheng suddenly had the uncanny sense of having geared up for a real fight—only to discover his opponent was a mere brat.

Compared to Lin Cheng's surprise, the four young elven maidens bound to the ground were clearly far more shocked. The clan's strongest elder, defeated just like that by a human below the sixth rank?

At that moment, Valkyrie Ailin arrived at last with the other elves, trailing behind. Seeing Lin Cheng standing and the elder fallen on the ground, a strange reverence instantly lit the elves' eyes.

Truly worthy of the one chosen by my lord Ailin—to think he defeated the clan's strongest Elder Murphy with only the strength of the fifth rank.

With Valkyrie Ailin's arrival, the misunderstanding between Lin Cheng and the elves naturally dissolved.

The four bound elven sisters finally understood that Lin Cheng was, among humans, one of those rare good souls who were truly friendly to elves.
