Chapter 593 - 587: No Way Out
One sword.
Another sword.
Just now, Lin Yuan killed his junior apprentice Kshatriya with one strike.
Now, one sword left a three-foot-long scar on Brahma’s chest.
For a moment, Brahma couldn’t quite distinguish whether it was Lin Yuan who was strong, or the sword itself was strong.
"Zheng!"
"Zheng, zheng!"
Lin Yuan flicked the blood off his sword, the blade slicing through the air, emitting a piercing sound.
Lin Yuan had to admit, the Human King Sword was truly extraordinary.
Lin Yuan’s ability was very strong, even without the Bronze Sword and Bronze Armor, he was stronger than anyone among Brahma and Kshatriya.
Strong as he was, he definitely couldn’t achieve killing Kshatriya in a single strike and injuring Brahma with another.
If without the Bronze Armor and Bronze Sword, Lin Yuan’s battle with Kshatriya and Brahma would be hard-fought.
Rather than the current situation, which seemed overwhelmingly dominant.
Lin Yuan knew well that this battle was won so beautifully because of the Bronze Armor and Bronze Sword.
However, he couldn’t say it out loud.
Especially at such a moment, Lin Yuan had to pretend.
The more Brahma couldn’t see through him, the more he had to act mysteriously.
Thus, Brahma hesitated inwardly and had apprehensions, barely able to unleash eight or nine-tenths of his combat power.
Lin Yuan pointed his sword at Brahma, sneering: "That supposedly mighty Outer World People, in my view, are nothing special."
Being mocked this way by Lin Yuan, Brahma felt indignant.
But, after the fight just now, he realized that it was challenging to match up to Lin Yuan.
The more uncertain Brahma felt inwardly, the less he could show his uncertainty.
He retorted stubbornly: "You’re merely relying on the power of the Human King Sword, if you dare, put down the Human King Sword and let’s duel again."
Put down the Human King Sword in his hand?
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but scoff.
Did this Brahma lose his mind from cultivation?
Does he really think this is a tournament? Should I bother with fairness?
This is a battlefield slaughter, a fight to the death.
Brahma’s words made Lin Yuan doubt his intelligence.
However, enough time had been delayed, Lin Yuan’s second strike was ready.
Lin Yuan killed Kshatriya with one sword, and injured Brahma with another, seeming effortless on the surface.
Actually, it consumed a large amount of Lin Yuan’s energy.
The reason he exchanged so many words with Brahma was to delay time to restore energy.
Now, the energy within had mostly been restored.
At this moment, Lin Yuan wanted to say to Brahma, what are you waiting for while I’m restoring my energy?
Waiting to die?
"Ding!"
The sharp sound of swords echoed once more, and the next moment, sword lights like rain slashed towards Brahma.
Brahma’s expression changed, he summoned a Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella to protect himself with this Treasure Umbrella.
Facing Lin Yuan’s attack, Brahma could only defend without any ability to counter.
Actually, he was very aware, merely defending like this means sooner or later he would die.
But besides that, he didn’t have a better solution.
First, block this strike, then seek a way out.
One must acknowledge, the senior apprentice is indeed the senior apprentice.
Brahma’s strength was much stronger than Kshatriya.
Lin Yuan’s charged-up strike, with sword energy like rain, was unexpectedly all blocked by this Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella.
Of course, the numerous agates, treasures, and glass hanging on this Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella’s surface were shattered to dust.
The umbrella’s surface also bore numerous sword scars, appearing tattered and torn.
"So formidable!"
"This kid’s strength is overwhelming, today we must avoid the fierce edge!" Brahma thought to himself.
Brahma was quite confident in the defense of his Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella, yet even such a Treasure Umbrella could only block one strike from Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan repeated the attack from earlier, this Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella wouldn’t hold.
Why, then, was Brahma so confident in his Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella?
This requires speaking of the power of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella.
The four of them were known as the four great disciples of the Buddha.
Actually, long ago, they were considered the five great disciples of the Buddha.
Brahma initially wasn’t the senior apprentice, but rather the second apprentice.
Their senior apprentice stole the Buddha’s secret technique and defected from the school while the Buddha was in seclusion.
Upon Buddha’s emergence, he was enraged and ordered them four to kill their senior apprentice and cleanse the house.
The four of them allied together, battling their senior apprentice for three days and nights before finally killing him.
After the senior apprentice was slain, Brahma succeeded him and naturally became the senior apprentice.
As for this Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella, its surface is crafted from their senior apprentice’s skin, and its ribs were refined from their senior apprentice’s bones.
The gems hanging outside include not only Brahma’s own collection but also their senior apprentice’s eyeballs and relics.
Back then, it took the four of them working together to defeat their senior apprentice.
A Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella crafted with their senior apprentice, how could it not be strong?
Because of this, Brahma was previously unflustered, but upon seeing the Seven Treasures Exquisite Umbrella barely withstand a single slash, he was truly scared.
Brahma prepared to flee, but before leaving, he had to inform his two junior apprentices.
"Junior apprentices, the wind is tight, let’s retreat." Brahma shouted.
These two junior apprentices were fighting with Elder Bai, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and others on the periphery, they could easily escape.
Upon hearing Brahma’s shout, they exchanged glances and fled left and right.
Elder Bai and Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder had no hesitation and immediately led others in pursuit.
However, Brahma found escaping really wasn’t easy.
At this moment, he was in the center of the battle circle, firmly entangled by Lin Yuan.
This duck in hand, how could it just fly away?
"Kid, if you continue to tangle with me, your family will be wiped out!" Brahma couldn’t escape from Lin Yuan, was growing irritated.
Brahma had speculated that Demon King Bosun and others must be taking advantage of Lin Yuan’s absence by going to his home.
After all, they had been battling with Lin Yuan for quite some time.
Logically speaking, Demon King Bosun and others should have noticed and come to aid.
Since Demon King Bosun hadn’t come till now, he must be stealing from Lin Yuan’s home.
Thinking as if Brahma were Bosun, he’d do the same.
Regarding the matter back at home base, Lin Yuan was quite anxious.
At this point, Lin Yuan couldn’t turn back and support.
If he did now, wouldn’t he be led by the nose?
In battle, casualties are inevitable.
If those Tier Two Peak experts back at home died, it would be their fate.
"I don’t know if they will die, but today you and your junior apprentices definitely won’t live."
"Moreover, how do you know I haven’t got a backup plan?" Lin Yuan said coldly.
