Chapter 457: Easy Kill
Lu Bingning and the other woman had already entered the pavilion, but Lin Yun was completely unaware. All he could think about now was reaching the pavilion and mobilizing the Flawless Palace and its affiliated disciples to find them.
As he rushed toward the pavilion, Lin Yun prayed anxiously, ’Please, don’t let anything happen to you two.’
After crossing the sea of flowers, Lin Yun didn’t encounter any more danger for the rest of the journey. However, he still hadn’t seen a single person along the way.
He didn’t know just how large this place was, but after traveling for an hour, Lin Yun found he still seemed to be a great distance from the pavilion. He couldn’t help but pick up his pace.
As Lin Yun hurried along, he suddenly heard the sounds of a battle coming from a small hill up ahead.
Following the sounds, Lin Yun reached the top of the hill and found two groups locked in a fierce battle. As it happened, one side consisted of Flawless Palace disciples, while the other was made up of Wuji Sect disciples.
"Haha, not a single one of you Flawless Palace disciples will be leaving these ruins alive!" The Wuji Sect had ten members, while the Flawless Palace had only five. Outnumbered two to one, the Wuji Sect held a clear advantage. Before Lin Yun’s eyes, a Flawless Palace disciple had already been slain, his body lying motionlessly to the side.
"Damn it..." Facing two opponents at once, the Flawless Palace disciples were completely outmatched. To make matters worse, the ten Wuji Sect members had launched a sneak attack, killing one of their own right from the start.
Just as the Flawless Palace disciples were beginning to think they wouldn’t escape this ordeal alive, a cool, indifferent voice rang out. "Then let’s see who will be the ones not leaving these ruins—the disciples of my Flawless Palace, or the disciples of your Wuji Sect."
Hearing this voice, the Wuji Sect disciples who were ganging up on the five from Flawless Palace immediately turned in Lin Yun’s direction. When they got a clear look at his face, the leader of the ten exclaimed in shock, "Lin Yun..."
In stark contrast to the Wuji Sect disciples, the five from Flawless Palace broke into smiles upon seeing Lin Yun. Seizing the moment of their opponents’ surprise, the five disciples rushed over to him.
"Senior Brother Lin, the Wuji Sect has gone too far! We..." Having reached Lin Yun, they began furiously denouncing the Wuji Sect’s despicable actions.
Waving his hand slightly, Lin Yun saw that all five were covered in blood. He told them to take some Healing Elixirs first and leave the rest to him.
"You all focus on healing. Leave the rest to me."
Hearing this, the five Flawless Palace disciples shook their heads vigorously. "Senior Brother Lin, let us help you! They’re all quite strong, and one of them is a Core Disciple of the Wuji Sect."
With a faint smile, Lin Yun replied nonchalantly, "It’s fine. Just focus on healing."
Seeing Lin Yun’s insistence, the five of them said no more. They immediately swallowed their Healing Elixirs, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and began to recover.
Lin Yun strode unhurriedly toward the ten Wuji Sect disciples. His gaze fell on their leader, who he presumed was the Core Disciple with a cultivation at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm.
"I don’t know whether the Flawless Palace disciples will make it out of here alive, but I do know that the ten of you certainly won’t," Lin Yun said calmly, his gaze coolly sweeping over them.
After a brief moment of surprise, the Wuji Sect Core Disciple thought to himself, ’Lin Yun is only at the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. So what if he survived a few punches from Senior Brother Song? I’m a Core Disciple, and I have nine Direct Disciples with me. There’s no reason for us to fear him.’
"Lin Yun, don’t get cocky just because you survived a few of Senior Brother Song’s punches. If he had actually wanted you dead, one blow would have been enough. Since we’ve run into you today, we’ll save Senior Brother Song the trouble and send you on your way ourselves," the man snarled.
Lin Yun had heard far too many threats like this on his journey, so he paid the Core Disciple’s words no mind. ’If words alone could kill,’ he thought, ’I would have died countless times over by now.’
"Heh, you Wuji Sect disciples are all talk." Not wanting to waste any more time on them, Lin Yun called out, "Little Ape."
At Lin Yun’s call, Little Ape, who had been resting on his shoulder, instantly swelled to the size of a grown man, its blood-red fur a horrifying sight.
Drawing his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun wasted no more words. He and Little Ape attacked the ten Wuji Sect disciples, flanking them from the left and right.
With Lin Yun’s current Combat Power, the Direct Disciples were no match for him whatsoever. Only the Wuji Sect’s Core Disciple could hope to withstand a few of his attacks.
Initially, Lin Yun didn’t target the Core Disciple. His plan was to eliminate the nine Direct Disciples first, then deal with their leader.
After a single, powerful clash that sent the Core Disciple stumbling back several steps, Lin Yun instantly appeared before one of the Direct Disciples without a moment’s pause.
The Direct Disciple had no time to react. The moment Lin Yun appeared before him, his eyes filled with sheer terror.
He could only watch helplessly as the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear pierced his throat. The Wuji Sect Direct Disciple wanted to say something, but no words came out as he collapsed to the ground, dead.
As Lin Yun killed one, Little Ape killed another. The Direct Disciple targeted by the ape was brutally torn in half.
Two of his men had died in a single exchange. The Core Disciple who had been forced back by Lin Yun roared, "Everyone, attack together! Kill these ants from the Flawless Palace!"
With that, he took the lead and charged at Lin Yun. He knew he was the only one who could exchange a few blows with him; the other Direct Disciples were simply no match.
It was a fine plan, but reality was far crueler. Lin Yun had no intention of getting tied down by him. Executing Inch Step, he continued to target the other Direct Disciples.
Under the ferocious assault of Lin Yun and Little Ape, the nine Wuji Sect Direct Disciples fell one after another. Soon, only the Core Disciple remained.
Facing Lin Yun and Little Ape alone, the man had no chance to escape. A punch from Little Ape sent him flying back more than ten meters, a large mouthful of blood spraying from his lips.
As he crashed heavily to the ground, the tip of Lin Yun’s Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was already at his throat.
"It seems this time, it’s the people from your Wuji Sect who won’t be leaving these ruins," Lin Yun said with a soft chuckle. Then, before the man’s terrified eyes, he thrust his spear through his throat.
With the Core Disciple’s death, all ten Wuji Sect disciples had been slain. Little Ape collected their Space Rings one by one.
Taking the ten Space Rings from Little Ape, Lin Yun gave a slight smile and walked over to the five Flawless Palace disciples.
