Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Reinforcements
Under the onslaught of Lin Shen's relentless attacks, Wan Guliu's situation had turned grim. It seemed he wouldn't last much longer.
Yet Wan Feixiong and the others were still hesitating. Onlookers watching secretly had already concluded that the outcome was set. Once Wan Guliu died, nine out of ten of the Wan Family's Ascenders would likely retreat. At this moment, Wan Guliu suddenly bellowed, "If the Lin siblings do not die, all of you will."
This sudden statement left everyone bewildered as to its meaning.
With things having progressed this far, and his own safety already compromised, what use was there in making threats?
But in the next second, Wan Guliu forcibly retreated. Although he could not break free from Lin Shen's continuous onslaught, it was enough for him to raise his hand and take out a watch-shaped teleporter, directly pressing the teleportation switch.
Lin Shen had already anticipated something when he shouted that phrase and furiously lunged at Wan Guliu with all his might, but it was still a step too late.
His charge hit nothing but air, as Wan Guliu's figure vanished into thin air, presumably having teleported away.
At this, the faces of Wan Feixiong and the other Ascenders changed dramatically. The Wan Family had a teleporter to the Hanji Star, and they had always thought it was on the Family Head. They never expected it to be in Wan Guliu's possession.
"Damn it!" Wan Feixiong cursed under his breath.
Today's events had definitely been recorded by Wan Guliu. Now that he had teleported back to the Wan Family on Hanji Star and would hand over the video, their fate was easy to predict.
Wan Feixiong had considered the possibility that the teleporter wasn't with the Family Head, but he had never imagined it would be with Wan Guliu. He had always thought the most likely person to hold it would be Wan Shuiliu, as he was the most important figure being cultivated by the Wan Family from their home planet.
If it were in the Family Head's hands, they wouldn't be too worried, as they were the main force of the Wan Family from their home planet. If the Family Head betrayed them, it would be tantamount to destroying their home planet's Wan Family.
But in Wan Guliu's hands, it was different. He had killed his own elder brother and been repeatedly pushed away by them, refusing to help. Wan Guliu would definitely not show any mercy to them.
It was as Wan Guliu had said before teleporting away, if the Lin siblings did not die, they all would. This was not merely a threat.
The only solution now was to kill the Lin siblings and snatch back Wan Nianbei's Spirit Base. Otherwise, when people from the Wan Family on Hanji Star arrived, their fate would be worse than death.
"Brothers, if we don't settle this matter today, we will probably suffer worse than death. Don't hold back anymore; fight for your lives," Wan Feixiong said, immediately taking out his Pet Launcher and firing another Ascension Pet, while also summoning his Life Base.
These Ascenders were all shrewd people, how could they not understand the current situation? They had also seen that although Lin Shen was formidable, he had not unleashed that terrifying power again. If they joined forces, they should be able to kill Lin Shen in a short time.
Several Ascenders gritted their teeth and launched their Ascension Pets, one after another. The pets landed on the ground.
Watching those Ascension Pets land, ready to unleash their Life Bases, Lin Shen inwardly sighed in distress.
Wan Guliu's move was indeed cunning, forcing Wan Feixiong and the others to fight desperately.
Now, Lin Shen had no way to deal with so many Ascension Pets. His pets were of Base Mutation level, an entire grade lower, not to mention he was also at a numerical disadvantage.
Even if Jiweis and Death Powder could battle against First Turn Ascension Pets, the other pets lacked that capability.
Moreover, he had to deal with the Spirit Bases of Wan Feixiong and the others. No matter how he thought about it, he had no chance of winning this battle.
"It looks like I can only teleport to Realm King Planet and survive a little longer," Lin Shen thought, already contemplating retreat.
There was no point in risking his life when the cause was hopeless. Better to keep the green hills intact than to needlessly burn the firewood.
Just as he was considering retreating and taking his elder sister to Realm King Planet, he suddenly heard an abrupt sound of hooves.
```
The sound of hooves at this time was extremely inopportune.
Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned toward the direction of the hoofbeats, and they saw two riders sprinting wildly towards the battlefield.
As they rode, their mounts frothed at the mouth.
Before even reaching the battlefield, the two mounts collapsed on the ground, and the riders sprang into the air, not caring for the lives of their mounts as they rushed into the fray.
"Wei..." Lin Shen was slightly startled to see that the arrivals were Wei Wufu and Ouyang Yudu.
"Let's talk after the fight," Wei Wufu said, with his Purple Crystal Armor materializing around him as he charged at an Ascender.
"Tian, you've tricked me so badly," Ouyang Yudu said to Lin Shen, then turned towards the Ascenders, locking eyes with one, squinting, and said, "First, I'll deal with them, and then I'll come settle the score with you."
The Wan Family had twelve Ascenders outside the base – three had died, and one had fled, leaving only eight.
"Wei Wufu, this matter has nothing to do with the Wei Family," Wan Feixiong said, seeing that Wei Wufu was paying him no attention and had already charged at an Ascender. He turned to Ouyang Yudu and continued, "Does the God's Love Base truly intend to become enemies with the Wan Family? Can you, Ouyang Yudu, make that decision?"
"I can't, but it doesn't matter," Ouyang Yudu said and had already lunged at the Ascender.
"Quick battle, quick decision," Wan Feixiong ordered the two Ascenders to suppress Wei Wufu and Ouyang Yudu first. He, along with five other Ascenders, continued to besiege Lin Shen, seeking the quickest way to take him and Lin Miao down and reclaim the Six Paths Phoenix Spirit Base.
"This one's mine," Tu Xiaodao flew out from the base and intercepted one of the Wan Family's Ascenders.
In such a short time since they'd last met, Tu Xiaodao had ascended.
Wan Feixiong's expression turned extremely ugly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw another figure leap down from the wall of the base, holding a thin sword, and blocking another Ascender.
"Ximen Swordsman, you, a wandering Mutator, dare to stand against my Wan Family?" Wan Feixiong said, furious.
Tu Xiaodao was a born Ascender, and coming from the Overseas Super-Base, he dared to step forward, which Wan Feixiong could understand. But how could Ximen Swordsman dare to step up? When had the Wan Family fallen so low that anyone seemed able to take a shot at them?
"I didn't intend to be an enemy of the Wan Family. It's just that I saw a Mutator killing Ascenders as if it were mere child's play, and I also wanted to try what it feels like to kill an Ascender with my own hands," Ximen Swordsman said as he already charged forward.
Lin Shen was somewhat stunned. He could understand Wei Wufu coming to help him.
But why had Ouyang Yudu and Ximen Swordsman also jumped in, and how had Tu Xiaodao ascended so quickly? It hadn't been long since they'd last seen each other.
Lin Shen had intended to flee, but with so many people joining in, things weren't as dire anymore, and he decided not to run.
"Big sister, since others have come to help, let's join in as well," Lin Shen called out to his older sister for help, unable to handle that many Ascension Pets and Ascenders on his own.
Lin Miao didn't hesitate to communicate with the Six Paths Phoenix, which turned into a streak of golden light and shot into the battlefield.
Lin Shen wasn't idle either; he released Jiweis to face off against a dragon-type Ascension Pet.
Death Powder was not to be counted on; having swallowed the Seventh Turn Blood Prison King Life Base, it was unable to digest it and twisted and struggled in agony, seemingly bereft of combat capability.
"If you can't swallow it, can't you spit it out? You're really TM greedy, greedier than I am," Lin Shen cursed inwardly.
If it hadn't been for the dire situation at the time, he would never have allowed Death Powder to come into contact with the Blood Prison King Life Base – that was a Seventh Turn mutated Life Base, after all.
