From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 830 - 488: No! You Fell Into the Trap

Earth Flame Pillar, Demigod Altar.

Three kilometers from the altar, Lin Zeyu hung upside down like a bat in the night, raising his sniper rifle, aiming at a target guarding the altar.

According to the intelligence given by Tiness, Lin Zeyu arrived here and indeed saw his target through the scope—Lawrence Phoenix.

This Human Bloodline Ancestor, who was supposed to be dead on Blue Star, appeared again in the Bloodline Clan’s underground cave.

Apart from Lawrence Phoenix, there was also a team of over a hundred Bloodline Demons guarding the altar.

This altar had been in disrepair for years, and at that moment, artisans among the Bloodline Demons were renovating it, re-etching runes with fresh blood.

Lin Zeyu, looking through the scope at Lawrence Phoenix’s head, activated all the skills to enhance his sniping.

[Void Ballistics] activated, pulling the trigger.

Bam!

The specialized bullet from the Electromagnetic Accelerated Sniper Rifle shot out, with special effects reducing air resistance, propelling it towards the altar at Mach 3 speed.

When the bullet traveled a distance of 500 meters, it instantly entered the void and in the next second, emerged at Lawrence Phoenix’s left temple.

Bam!

A headshot, the entire head along with the neck exploded into a mist of blood, and the lower half of the body flew off, shattering into pieces.

Roar!

With the leader suddenly sniped, the Bloodline Demons around the altar roared in fury, searching for the attacker.

Lin Zeyu did not pause for a moment; after firing the bullet, he concentrated the [Supersonic Energy Bomb], shooting it towards the altar.

After launching the Source Energy High Explosive Bomb, he turned and ran, entering the stealth mode of the [Void Dragon Camouflage], quickly retreating.

As he was retreating, he gleefully reported in the communication channel, "Mission accomplished, one shot, one kill."

...

At the same time.

A crisis descended upon the Magma River in the underground cave.

Xie Shi’en noticed a group of High-level Bloodline descending from the sky, numbering over thirty.

This was not something he could handle alone. Xie Shi’en quickly decided, raising his hand to grab the Supreme Beldam’s heart through the air, using his Spiritual Power to lift the heart, preparing to leave with it.

Just then.

A surge of frenzy mental shock waves crashed into his mind. He grunted, clutching his forehead, concentrating to withstand the impact.

Then, Supreme Beldam Tiness walked with graceful steps from behind the cliff, reaching her heart, and cradled it in her hands.

Xie Shi’en saw her take the heart in her hands and realized the situation was wrong. Recovering from the mental shock, he released his Spiritual Power, intending to fly away.

Just at that moment.

Dozens of blood-red tentacles erupted from the ground, entwining Xie Shi’en’s limbs, dragging him back to the surface.

Xie Shi’en’s gaze hardened. He swung his magic wand, releasing Telekinesis Blade, severing the blood-red tentacles, trying to break free from their bind.

However, cutting off a large section of blood-red tentacles only resulted in even more tentacles emerging from the rock crevices, binding him so tightly that he could not move.

Xie Shi’en, gaze hardened, shouted, "I’ve returned the heart to you, the deal is done. What do you want?"

Tiness sighed, "I want to thank you for returning the heart, but you’ve fallen into the trap."

Xie Shi’en already guessed what was happening, his expression growing graver, "What exactly do you want?"

At this moment.

Another figure emerged from behind the cliff, leisurely saying, "Of course, to use you as leverage against Lu Heng, but first, we need to cut off your limbs."

Xie Shi’en looked up, pupils shrinking sharply, recognizing the person as Lawrence Phoenix.

However, just three minutes ago, he had received a report from Lin Zeyu about the assassination. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Lin Zeyu clearly reported that he had taken down Lawrence Phoenix with a headshot.

Yet here was Lawrence Phoenix, appearing behind Tiness.

After undergoing Bloodline Transformation, Lawrence Phoenix gained even stronger Life Force; his once-aged appearance regained much vitality, looking like he was sixty rather than over eighty.

He walked behind Tiness, took the heart from her hands, ambition blazing in his eyes.

He gazed at the Banshee Heart, leisurely saying, "The wealth I accumulated in a lifetime on Blue Star was so easily taken by you. What is lost in one place must be regained somewhere else.

"You are indeed tenacious. For a moment, everything was almost lost.

"Now it’s all good. You’ve entered my new world, and my contest with Lu Heng begins officially now."

He then raised his hand, pointing at Xie Shi’en, commanding, "Cut off his limbs, take him back."

The thirty Bloodline Demons waiting at the side immediately moved forward, ready to act.

Just at that moment.

A sword gleam came from the west, instantly slaying the thirty Bloodline Demons.

Suddenly changes occurred, everyone present showing expressions of shock and amazement.

At the spot where the sword gleam vanished, Lu Heng stood there, blocking in front of Xie Shi’en, gazing sharply at Lawrence Phoenix.

This was the first genuine confrontation between the two.

Previously on Blue Star, their meetings were always through a screen.

Seeing Lu Heng appear, Lawrence Phoenix’s eyes flashed with a moment of panic but quickly calmed.

He instantly realized what was happening, "So it was me who fell for the trap."

He was actually very cautious.

From the moment he coerced Tiness, he never relaxed his surveillance on her.

Thus, the process of the transaction between Lu Heng and Tiness had entirely fallen under his watch.

Lawrence Phoenix seized the opportunity to craft a vicious plan—to release a false message, luring Lu Heng away.
