Chapter 531: Eldest Senior Brother Lin Yun
As two Dragon Shadows charged toward them, the dozen-plus Martial Artists of the Qing Zhu Association all unleashed their own attacks to resist the Dual Dragon World Destruction.
Under the combined assault, the Dual Dragon World Destruction and the more than ten attacks shattered simultaneously. And at that exact moment, Lin Yun had already closed in, ready to kill.
Lin Yun’s injuries were clearly real. The dozen-plus men simply couldn’t understand why, despite being so grievously wounded, his Combat Power hadn’t diminished in the slightest.
Any other person, never mind injuries like Lin Yun’s, would have had their Combat Power drastically reduced even with half the wounds—if they hadn’t died outright. Yet Lin Yun only seemed to grow fiercer with every clash.
These dozen-plus men had been leading the siege against Lin Yun from the start, but now, their Battle Intent was being slowly crushed by him, replaced, bit by bit, with terror.
To put it bluntly, Lin Yun had no fewer than a hundred wounds. At this point, one would be hard-pressed to find a single patch of unbroken skin on his body. Dozens of the gashes were deep enough to expose bone.
Who could possibly endure such injuries? Let alone continue to fight with ever-increasing ferocity?
Charging proactively into the encirclement of over a dozen men, Lin Yun completely disregarded his own injuries, with no thought whatsoever for defense. Wielding the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, he had descended into a berserk madness.
In the short span of a hundred breaths, Lin Yun killed two more of them, though he suffered several more blade wounds in the process.
Yet, Lin Yun didn’t even flinch. The killing intent radiating from his body only intensified, and his Minor Accomplishment Battle Intent surged, showing faint signs of breaking through to Great Success Battle Intent.
The blood on Lin Yun’s body dried, only to be immediately coated by a fresh layer. The Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear let out an occasional dragon’s hum, as if to tell him that for this battle, one man and one spear were more than enough.
The scales of battle began to tip. A situation where over a hundred men had been besieging Lin Yun had been single-handedly and brutally fought to this point by him and his spear alone.
It was as if Lin Yun, all by himself, was hunting down these last dozen men with his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.
The Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was extraordinarily sharp, and none of them dared to meet it head-on. With Lin Yun showing no intention of defending himself, and after fighting for so long, the remaining dozen-plus men had lost their nerve.
’What kind of man is this, to possess such Combat Power, such an unyielding will? He faced an ambush by over a hundred fellow Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artists and not only survived, but single-handedly turned the tide, slaughtering them so brutally that the survivors are now terrified.’
Watching blood continuously pour from the wounds covering Lin Yun’s body, which was already stained completely red, the eyes of every Flawless Palace disciple grew bloodshot. Lin Yun’s perseverance, his unwavering resolve, became their strongest pillar of support.
Truth be told, almost none of these five hundred Flawless Palace disciples had ever experienced a battle of this scale. Normally, their conflicts were limited to skirmishes with disciples from the other Five Great Forces.
If not for Lin Yun single-handedly fighting a hundred men and giving these Flawless Palace disciples tremendous encouragement, they would have likely already lost all their Battle Intent.
"Junior Brothers! For our First Senior Brother, kill them all!" He Yuntian roared. The more time he spent with Lin Yun, the more He Yuntian realized what a strange person he was.
’Once you started following him, you’d never want to leave, and you wouldn’t even know why. Lin Yun was like the sun in the sky; he made you want to do nothing more than follow in his wake. Even just basking in a single ray of his light felt completely worth it.’
The morale of the Flawless Palace disciples soared, while that of the Qing Zhu Association plummeted. The fact that Lin Yun had single-handedly slaughtered over a hundred of their members had extinguished any Battle Intent left in their hearts.
Just like Lin Yun, Little Ape had also unleashed his savage nature while facing the siege of dozens of Qing Zhu Association Martial Artists. Of the original dozens, Little Ape had already slaughtered them down to the last four.
Although Little Ape was not lightly injured either, the four survivors had long since been scared out of their wits by him. Facing Little Ape, their only thought was to flee.
However, Little Ape had no intention of giving them the chance. With a furious roar, his large, powerful body charged at the last four men.
Little Ape had slaughtered his opponents down to the last four, while Lin Yun had reduced his own group of attackers to just eight. At this point, these eight survivors no longer dared to face Lin Yun in battle.
Although all eight were Martial Artists at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm, they no longer possessed even the courage to fight when facing Lin Yun.
"Lin Yun, we’ll retreat right now! Let’s stop fighting..." At this moment, fear was visible in the eyes of all eight men, and one of them even tried to negotiate.
However, Lin Yun was completely unmoved by the man’s words. ’We’ve fought to this point; can a single sentence really put a stop to it all?’
Wielding the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun charged forward to attack again. Seeing this, the eight men roared in fury, "Lin Yun, are you trying to take us all down with you? We already said we would retreat! Must you really fight to the death?"
"Hmph," Lin Yun snorted, his voice cold. "It has been a fight to the death from the very beginning. Don’t you think it’s naive to say otherwise now?"
Facing Lin Yun’s onslaught, the eight men clearly lacked their initial Battle Intent. With cowardice in their hearts, their fate was sealed. Hunted down by Lin Yun alone, all eight were soon dead.
After impaling the last man through the throat, Lin Yun hoisted his corpse into the air on the tip of his spear and roared to the Flawless Palace disciples who were still locked in a bloody struggle.
"Kill! Exterminate every member of the Qing Zhu Association!"
Hearing Lin Yun’s mighty roar, the Flawless Palace disciples became ecstatic. This was their First Senior Brother, the man who had single-handedly slaughtered over a hundred Martial Artists of the Qing Zhu Association. He was the pride of the Flawless Palace disciples.
In contrast, when the Martial Artists of the Qing Zhu Association saw that Lin Yun had actually slaughtered over a hundred of their companions by himself, it was as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been dumped over their heads, extinguishing their Battle Intent completely.
"Kill!" the Flawless Palace disciples roared in unison. Their attacks immediately grew more ferocious, forcing the Martial Artists of the Qing Zhu Association into a steady retreat.
In terms of morale, the Flawless Palace now held the absolute advantage. It wasn’t just the disciples; even the Main Seat Elders and Luo Feng felt their spirits surge.
The ten Main Seat Elders looked at Lin Yun, their eyes filled with shock. Even though they were powerhouses of the Celestial Spirit Realm, they weren’t certain they could have survived and counter-slaughtered a siege by over a hundred Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artists.
Lin Yun’s life-or-death struggle had completely ignited the Battle Intent and fighting spirit of everyone from Flawless Palace, pushing them to their peak.
At once, the ten Main Seat Elders threw their all into the fight, attacking the ten Celestial Spirit Realm experts from the Qing Zhu Association with reckless abandon.
In the hearts of the ten Main Seat Elders, ’Lin Yun is without a doubt worthy of the title of First Disciple of Flawless Palace. As Main Seat Elders, we cannot afford to lose face either.’
The tides had turned. The Flawless Palace was gradually gaining the upper hand. Whether in the Primordial Ocean Realm battle, the Celestial Spirit Realm battle, or even the Spirit Realm battle, the Flawless Palace was slowly but surely taking control.
