I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield - Chapter 479 - 399: Seventh-Tier Assassin, Qin Tian Appears

Chapter 479: Chapter 399: Seventh-Tier Assassin, Qin Tian Appears

The snowflakes and cold wind were blocked outside by the water-patterned canopy, yet everyone inside the flying device felt a bone-chilling cold, spreading from the depths of their hearts to their limbs—this was clearly an ambush set up by the enemy, waiting for them to walk right into it.

“Protect Miss Ming Yue, prepare for ground battle!” Min Wenbing’s voice came through the communicator, carrying an undeniable decisiveness.

In the air, the view is wide open, making them easy targets. They can only rely on the terrain to counterattack once grounded.

“Yes!”

The bodyguards replied in unison, the flying device’s cabin door swiftly opened, and the biting wind instantly rushed in.

Min Wenbing was the first to leap out of the cabin, Spiritual Energy condensed into a golden airflow beneath his feet, steadily cushioning the impact of his fall; the other bodyguards followed closely, moving swiftly like leopards.

Dongfang Mingyue also grasped Xiaoyu’s hand tightly, a faint green Spiritual Energy shimmering at her fingertips, and the two jumped down side by side—for a Tier Five Holy Blood Spiritualist, a height of several hundred meters wasn’t considered dangerous; the Spiritual Energy was enough to support them in landing safely.

“Splat!”

Everyone landed on the ground one after another, making a dull sound as their feet touched the earth.

The bodyguards quickly formed a circle, shielding Dongfang Mingyue and Xiaoyu in the center, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Min Wenbing looked up at the water-patterned canopy, his brows furrowed tightly—he immediately recognized the barrier, “Sky Canopy Barrier”

This was originally a secret technique developed by the Tribunal for capturing high-tier criminals, capable of isolating space and limiting the aftermath of battles to avoid involving the innocent. However, the technology leaked later, becoming a weapon for many factions to secretly assassinate and eradicate.

Once trapped inside a Sky Canopy Barrier, the outside world cannot perceive any movement inside, and calling for help is nearly impossible.

“Brothers, the situation is worse than expected.” Min Wenbing lowered his voice, his eyes sweeping over the bodyguards around him, “You protect Miss Ming Yue well, I’ll try to break the barrier and call for help.”

He wasn’t sure of the barrier’s level—if it was a Tier Six barrier, he had a chance to break through it with his Peak Tier Six strength, but if it was Tier Seven…

He took a deep breath, suppressing the heaviness in his heart, “No matter what, even if it means breaking bones and spilling blood, we must protect Miss Ming Yue!”

“Protect Miss Ming Yue to the death!” The bodyguards shouted in unison, their voices firm and powerful.

Min Wenbing no longer said anything more, and a majestic aura suddenly erupted around him, light gold metallic Spiritual Energy surged out from his body, covering him like flowing armor, the sharp aura making the surrounding air seem sharp, tightening everyone’s skin.

The Golden Bloodline power within him awakened as well, an invisible pressure expanding all around.

As soon as this pressure spread, footsteps were heard all around.

“Step, step, step…”

Uniform footsteps came from the gray fog, getting closer and closer.

Immediately afterward, dozens of shadows dressed in black and masked faces slowly walked out, spreading like ghosts all around, icy auras locking onto Min Wenbing and the others, making the air turn stagnant.

Min Wenbing and the bodyguards’ faces changed dramatically—just judging from the auras, there were at least ten Tier Six Spiritualists on the other side, and the rest were all Tier Five masters!

While there were only thirteen people on their side.

“Attack!”

Someone uttered in a low tone, and the black clad men instantly launched their assault, sending several dark Spiritual Blades flying towards the bodyguard circle, quick as lightning.

“Block it!” Min Wenbing roared angrily, his hands forming seals, and light gold Spiritual Energy instantly condensed into a massive shield, with a “bang” it blocked the Spiritual Blades, fine cracks appearing on the shield’s surface.

Meanwhile, the other bodyguards also started unleashing Spiritual Energy, some forming shields, others launching attacks, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-clothed men.

Light gold metallic Spiritual Energy, black Dark Spiritual Energy, and green Wood Spiritual Energy clashed within the Sky Canopy Barrier, erupting with piercing noises.

Min Wenbing wielded his long knife, first charging towards a Tier Six black clothed man, the Golden Bloodline pressure making the opponent’s movements pause, taking advantage of this, he swung his knife down, the blade wind sharp, aiming straight for the opponent’s vital parts.

Xiaoyu tightly grasped Dongfang Mingyue’s arm, hiding in the center of the bodyguard circle, watching the fierce battle outside, her face pale but not screaming—she knew she must not trouble her lady at this moment.

Dongfang Mingyue also clenched her fists, the Spiritual Energy at her fingertips subtly flickering, her gaze watchful, ready to respond to sudden situations at any time.

The battle had barely started and already reached a fever pitch.

Though some of Min Wenbing’s side had the advantage of bloodlines, the enemy had many people, and each of them was unyielding, quickly putting the bodyguards at a disadvantage, someone’s arm being slashed by a Spiritual Blade, blood instantly staining the sleeves.

The fight stalling, the bodyguards were valiant, but couldn’t bear the sheer number of the black-clothed killers, each of them making lethal moves.

The shoulder of one was burned by Dark Spiritual Energy, the flesh turning black; another had their arm sliced open with a deep, bone-revealing wound, blood dripping from their fingertips, staining the ground red.

Seeing the bodyguard circle slowly loosen, the black-clad killers’ attacks became increasingly fierce, Xiaoyu’s face growing paler, her teeth tightly gnashing against her lips.

At this moment, Dongfang Mingyue suddenly stepped forward, closed her eyes, her body’s faint green Spiritual Energy abruptly skyrocketed, like vines breaking ground on a spring day, rapidly sprawling out.

In the next moment, her fingertips lightly touched, rays of Spiritual Energy fused with pure vitality precisely flew toward each injured bodyguard—landing on burnt shoulders, the blackened flesh fading visibly, new pink skin emerging; wrapping around bleeding arms, immediately stopping the blood flow at the wound which healed muscle and bone swiftly, leaving no scar behind.
