Chapter 430: Chapter 395 Chips 2

"So next, it’s about the issue of the Energy Scepter."

In the great hall, the figure opposite spoke calmly.

"We have obtained four Energy Scepters, including their Fusers and Contractors. As an exchange, what are the council members prepared to offer?"

Griffin also stopped and turned his head to look at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei knew that this matter wasn’t actually for the golden ones, so he had to step forward himself.

He took a step forward.

"The Energy Scepter is something I need. However, you said you have obtained four scepters, but the information I received claims that you only have one. It would be better to verify this point."

"Verify?" The shadow pondered for a moment, "Well, we don’t completely control them now, but we have confirmed that the Fusers and Contractors of all four scepters are within our encirclement. It’s almost as if the situation is in our hands, so it can be considered under our control."

The shadow extended his hands and slowly waved them in the air. At the same time, a faintly muffled chanting sound emanated, carrying a special rhythm and melody.

Lin Fei immediately felt, as the other party chanted, a strange and fine vibration gradually emanating from the pond in front of them.

"Everyone, please watch." The shadow finished chanting and withdrew his hands, looking towards the pond.

All eyes fell on the pond.

The originally crystal-clear water surface slowly revealed a completely different scene.

In the center of the image, as if at the top of the room, stood four beautiful women, two of whom were still young girls, while the other two were mature women. The four stood back to back in a circle.

Three of them wore strange and weirdly tight-fitting clothes, almost like cosplay outfits.

One of the young girls held a fiery red giant bow, occasionally shooting flaming arrows.

Another girl constantly formed white ice crystals with her hands, continuously blocking repeat invisible attacks. With each block, the young girl’s body shook, obviously with great effort.

All four were completely encircled within a huge purple cube. The cube seemed to be made of energy. Some attacks’ residual energy hit the inner surface but had no effect.

Lin Fei recognized at a glance that this was Lin You and her companions, clearly in a state of siege.

"These are the Energy Scepter Contractors?" Even though Lin Fei already knew, he still had to ask.

The shadow nodded slightly.

"Indeed, I suppose you should be aware of this?" he implied.

"However, it looks like you don’t fully control them," Lin Fei said calmly. "To use this as a bargaining chip for trading with us doesn’t seem quite right, does it?"

"These people are now completely surrounded by our men, and with their strength, escaping is impossible. Doesn’t that demonstrate their ownership?" The shadow spoke with a faint smile.

"Often, being too confident isn’t good," Lin Fei lowered his eyes. "Let’s wait until the results are clear. I suppose the council isn’t lacking this little time."

"That’s also fine. Everyone can take this as a chance to relax and see if these little ones can escape," the shadow remained unflustered.

Actually, both he and Lin Fei were clear now. Those several B-tier strength wielders were likely dispatched by the adversary. Now, Lin Fei directly mentioned that everything was still undecided and suggested waiting, the implication being, my people won’t let you succeed so easily.

While the shadow was equally confident, he was unconcerned about Lin Fei’s purpose in delaying.

As for the others, they were indifferent, treating this little time and clash of spirits as merely a way to lighten the atmosphere, nothing more.

The scene in the pond changed rapidly.

Inside the purple cube, the counterattacks of Lin You’s group became fewer and slower. The two adult women were still holding on, but the two younger girls, particularly the one using ice, seemed to be struggling.

"Lin You, I’ll block them for a while, you rest first!" One of the adult women, covered in green light spots, shouted loudly. With a wave of her hand, a green light screen instantly enveloped the four of them, forming a hemispherical cover on the ground.

But in that instant, a spike-shaped arrow-like black spike suddenly punctured the green light membrane.

With a pop, the entire light membrane burst.

Dozens of tiny black bees buzzed out from one side of the scene, covering and flying towards the four individuals.

These black bees had arrow-shaped stingers at their tails, and one’s stinger had already disappeared, clearly the cause of the previous puncture.

"They’re stinger bees!" the young girl with the fiery red giant bow shouted, but her expression remained calm. She violently pulled the giant bow. Countless tiny flaming arrows suddenly appeared on the bowstring.

With hissing sounds, they were released.

The flaming arrows traced red lines through the air, constantly knocking down the spike bees within the purple cube, but these creatures seemed endless, wave after wave.

In the great hall, the top-level powerhouses quietly watched the scene in the pool. Such attacks were naturally child’s play for them. However, they were still interested in the attack methodologies of the Energy Scepters.

"The Flame Arrows are the Fire System Scepter’s Second Stage Transformation weapon. By rights, it should only have D-tier power, but this little girl has managed to use it with C-tier strength; her usage is quite good," one of the seven shadows quietly said.

"Indeed," another shadow nodded.

"If she could reach Third Stage Transformation, combined with this technique, reaching a middle C-tier level is also possible. But not now, she only has C-tier strength. And such battle drains too much energy."

"Among those few, only the woman with green light spots and this Flame Scepter Contractor are decent. The other two would be better replaced. The Power of Inheritance isn’t for those with such little strength. These types of contractors, oh, no, only that girl with Ice System power is a Contractor, the other must have just awakened a little bit of power," they discussed among themselves.

Such analytical discussions seemed to be the norm for them.

On the side of the golden ones, the rest were just unconcernedly watching the scene in the pool.

Only Lin Fei, his focus remained entirely on Lin You.

"In such a situation, these Energy Scepters indeed have no power to resist," the shadow’s voice echoed in his ears.

But Lin Fei remained unhearing.

Boom!!

In the scene, a fierce burst of flame suddenly exploded. Inside the purple square, it was filled with crimson flames. The figures of four girls were completely submerged and invisible.

Lin Fei’s eyes twitched slightly.

She knew it was a critical moment.

Indeed, after the flames dispersed,

the four girls lay on the ground, each with various wounds.

Lin Fei noticed Lin You, her gloves were nearly torn, and bright red blood slowly oozed out through the gaps.

Lin Fei slightly narrowed her eyes. Her expression was calm, showing no emotion, but her right hand holding the sword hilt slowly tightened.

Griffin, standing by, seemed to have just glanced at Lin Fei. His face still bore a gentle smile.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the scene in the pool. Everyone knew that it was a critical time now.

Sure enough, in the scene, three figures in United States military uniforms appeared. Two men and a woman, one of the men holding a small purple cube.

"Is this all the power the ’Energy Scepter’ has?" the man with the cube said disdainfully. "So weak."

"That’s because you’re too strong," complimented the red-haired woman.

The cube man smiled and said nothing.

Another officer walked over, about to crouch down for inspection.

"Eh?" He suddenly made a light exclamation. "Is there a high-energy reaction?" he directly looked towards Lin You lying down. "It’s coming from that little girl."

"Hmm....."

Lin Fei noticed that in the scene, Lin You’s hand suddenly twitched slightly.

"Little You..." he muttered softly in his heart, a slight tension in his chest.

In the scene, the military man furrowed his brow, took out a small, cellphone-like device, "I feel a strange power in her body, let’s take a DNA sample first, a blood sample will do, it’s more convenient. A high-energy reaction might mean there are good things in there."

"Okay," nodded the red-haired woman. She walked directly toward Lin You who was lying down.

Lin Fei’s gaze sharpened.

"How is it? Mr. Congressman, now that the situation is under control, can she be used as a bargaining chip now?" said the shadow that had just stepped forward, smiling.

Lin Fei was silent, just carefully watching the scene. The reflection from the pool shimmered on his face, revealing no expression at all.

In the scene.

The woman drew some blood from Lin You with a small pipette, then carefully dropped it into the cellphone-like device.

"This is the latest model of the analysis detector this year, capable of networking with all blood sample banks to match her...."

Click!

The pool suddenly rippled, and all images instantly vanished.

Lin Fei slowly withdrew his finger.

"No need to watch any further," he said indifferently.

***************************

In the scene, on the rooftop

Hum!!

A layer of golden color instantly covered everything.

The red-haired woman’s pipette still hung in the air above the device, but her entire action froze.

Between Lin You’s fingers, a blue ring slowly rose, emitting a faint golden halo.

The face of the man in military uniform twisted, but he was completely immobilized.

The other cube man was covered in a purple glow but could only barely stand in place unmoving.

Everyone, everyone was completely frozen, even the wind seemed to have stopped flowing.

In the faint golden light, a blurry figure slowly emerged.

"Who would know what would happen at the last moment?..." a detached voice slowly resonated on the rooftop.

Within the golden halo, Lin Fei slowly stepped forward. His longsword hung at his waist as he looked up at the sky.

Hiss....

After several soft sounds,

Four figures in black robes suddenly appeared floating in the rooftop air.

"Monarch... we have failed... someone... has... Hiss!" The voice suddenly cut off, followed by the sound of blood flowing freely.

The shadow abruptly looked up at Lin Fei. The black mist around him violently fluctuated.

"Hehe...." Lin Fei held the hilt at his waist, chuckling lightly. "See, until the very last moment, there’s always a possibility of surprises."

All at once, he turned around, his entire being transformed into countless golden sands, slowly dissipating. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to point to qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
