Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

With less than a tenth of his Elemental Power remaining, Lin Yun leaned on his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear for support, his eyes locked on the advancing Song Tianyang.

"Lin Yun, I will kill you! This world isn’t big enough for the both of us." Having failed to kill Lin Yun time and time again, Song Tianyang was long past consumed by rage. With this strike, he was determined to end Lin Yun’s life.

’So in the end, it’s come down to risking it all...’ Lin Yun muttered to himself, watching Song Tianyang draw nearer.

As he finished speaking, Lin Yun glanced at the Wuji Sect disciples, most of whom had already been slain. A look of determination appeared in his eyes as he uttered a low cry, "Thunderfire Bombardment, reversed."

Thunderfire Bombardment was a Martial Skill of Lin Yun’s own creation, and he knew its every step by heart. The normal version combined Wind Thunder Triple Flash and Red Flame Spear Technique, enveloping him in Flame and Thunder Power as he charged an opponent to deal damage.

However, the reversed Thunderfire Bombardment was the complete opposite. Although it still enveloped him in Flame and Thunder Power, the effect was inverted; the flame and lightning would not only strike his enemy but also inflict grievous harm upon himself.

Lin Yun had conceived of this long ago and had even tested it on himself, but this was the first time he had ever used it in actual combat.

At his peak, Lin Yun would be severely injured by just one reversed Thunderfire Bombardment. For him to endure it now, one could only imagine he would be left critically wounded, on the verge of death.

But he had no other choice. Neither Thunderfire Bombardment nor Dual Dragon World Destruction could harm Song Tianyang now; he could easily dodge them. To injure Song Tianyang, only the reversed Thunderfire Bombardment would suffice.

Just as Lin Yun’s cry faded, Song Tianyang arrived before him. His face twisted with savagery, he threw a punch at Lin Yun without a second word.

At that very moment, however, raging flames suddenly engulfed them both, forming a massive fireball that trapped them inside. Unlike the normal Thunderfire Bombardment, this was the reversed version; the lightning wasn’t enveloping the flame. Instead, the flame was enveloping the lightning, which ran rampant within the core of the fireball.

This sudden, drastic change brought Song Tianyang’s ferocious attack to an abrupt halt. He could clearly feel the violent Energy raging within the fireball.

He looked at Lin Yun and saw the madness in his eyes. Song Tianyang immediately roared, "Lin Yun, are you trying to take me down with you?"

"Who said anything about taking you down with me? I know this move can’t kill you. I just want to see whose defense is stronger, yours or mine! Haha!" Lin Yun laughed aloud at Song Tianyang’s words.

As he spoke, Lin Yun grabbed Song Tianyang’s shoulders, preventing him from escaping.

"Lin Yun, are you crazy? Let go! Let me go, now!" The Energy inside the fireball grew increasingly violent, and several bolts of lightning had already struck them both.

Lin Yun was completely unmoved by Song Tianyang’s bellow. A cold, sinister smile spread across his face. "What’s the matter, Song Tianyang? Scared now?"

As Lin Yun spoke, the Energy within the fireball erupted completely. Flames raged and lightning thundered, relentlessly assaulting not only Song Tianyang but Lin Yun as well.

SPURT... A mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips. In just over ten seconds, numerous wounds had appeared all over Song Tianyang’s body. Now, as he looked at Lin Yun, a hint of terror crept into his eyes.

’This guy is a complete madman! He’s already so heavily injured, yet he dares to use a Martial Skill that ensures mutual destruction. Does he really want to die with me?’

"Lin Yun, you’re a madman! You’re a complete madman!" Song Tianyang, one of the Eastern Domain’s Five Great Demon Fiends, shrieked in terror as he stared at Lin Yun. Not even Wei Yunhang had ever made him feel such fear.

Hearing Song Tianyang’s cry, the cold sneer never left Lin Yun’s face. He didn’t make a single sound as the lightning and flames struck his body.

Lin Yun’s hands were still locked onto Song Tianyang’s shoulders, with less than half a meter separating them. In truth, it was less that Lin Yun was holding Song Tianyang to prevent his escape, and more that he was using Song Tianyang’s shoulders to keep himself from collapsing.

A mouthful of blood escaped Lin Yun’s lips with every word he spoke, but that cold sneer never once faded.

"Song Tianyang, are you scared? Since this is a fight to the death, you have to use every trick in the book to kill your opponent. Haha!"

Right now, Lin Yun truly looked like a demon that had crawled out of Hell. Staring at him, Song Tianyang’s eyes were wide with terror, and blood intermittently spurted from his mouth.

Inside the fireball, Lin Yun and Song Tianyang continuously endured the assault of flame and lightning. Both were now completely covered in blood. Outside the fireball, with Little Ape’s help, the Flawless Palace disciples had finally annihilated the disciples from the Wuji Sect.

"Keep an eye on this piece of trash and await Senior Brother’s verdict," He Yuntian said.

More than twenty people were left to guard Gong Lingqi. With five Core Disciples among them, it was absolutely impossible for him to escape.

In the battle against the Wuji Sect, ten Flawless Palace disciples and over twenty disciples from affiliated factions had died. Now, aside from the twenty-odd disciples guarding Gong Lingqi, everyone else rushed to the edge of the fireball.

"This... Senior Brother will be alright, won’t he?" a Direct Disciple asked worriedly, staring at the completely berserk fireball.

Hearing this, He Yuntian cursed under his breath, "What are you talking about? How could anything happen to Senior Brother?"

In truth, the most worried were undoubtedly Lu Bingning, Lan Xi, and Little Ape. The three of them stood at the very front, their eyes filled with anxiety as they watched the fireball raging with Energy.

Finally, after a full twenty breaths, the fireball exploded with a BOOM, scattering downward like a rain of fire.

At that moment, everyone could finally see the figures of Lin Yun and Song Tianyang.

At that moment, Lin Yun was kneeling on one knee, already a complete Blood Man, his entire body trembling slightly.

Seeing Lin Yun so grievously wounded, Lu Bingning, Lan Xi, and Little Ape quickly ran to his side, while the other Flawless Palace disciples moved to form a protective circle around him.

Lin Yun was severely injured, and Song Tianyang was naturally no better off. Although Song Tianyang could still stand, he looked unsteady on his feet, and the wounds covering his body had long since turned him into a Blood Man as well.

Song Tianyang looked at the throng of Flawless Palace disciples, then at the corpses of his own Wuji Sect disciples littering the ground. Though a raging fire burned in his heart, there was nothing he could do now.

"Lin Yun... Lin Yun... This is all because of you! AHHH! Why can’t I kill you?! I hate this!" Roaring like a madman, Song Tianyang couldn’t understand why an ant at the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm was so difficult to kill, or how he himself had ended up in such a wretched state.

After a final, crazed roar, Song Tianyang glared at Lin Yun and the host of Flawless Palace disciples, his eyes completely bloodshot. In the end, without saying another word, he silently turned and flew away.
