After stabilising its stance, the Great Kun warrior continued charging fiercely at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun’s earlier display immediately drew the attention of three more Great Kun warriors, who also lunged towards him!
The Sky Dome Clan, including Lin Yun, originally had eight members. With the third-tier Mahayana Realm cultivator who’d just died, they were down to seven. Meanwhile, there were fifteen Great Kun warriors.
Fierce combat erupted in the hall.
Lin Yun alone faced four Great Kun warriors and still managed to hold the upper hand.
The Fourth Elder of the Sky Dome Clan, an eighth-turn Tribulation Realm cultivator, was also tackling four Great Kun warriors at once. At the same time, he kept an eye on Yu Ying’s fight, ready to rush over and rescue her if anything went wrong.
But the rest of the Sky Dome Clan weren’t faring so well!
These Great Kun warriors were each comparable to Tribulation Realm cultivators. Not only was their defence incredibly tough, but they also felt no pain, feared no death, and were willing to launch suicidal attacks, making them a nightmare to deal with.
Struggling to hold their own, they had no spare attention for their surroundings.
Rip!
At that moment, the other third-turn Mahayana Realm member of the team was blasted into a mist of blood by a Great Kun warrior!
Just like that, both of the Sky Dome Clan’s third-tier Mahayana Realm members were dead.
Another first-turn Tribulation Realm member was also injured under the relentless assault of the Great Kun warriors.
“Damn it, damn it!” The handsome man cursed furiously while fighting. His teammate had just been turned into a bloody mist, splattering his face with blood.
The Great Kun warrior attacking him was proving incredibly difficult to handle!
These warriors didn’t fear death at all—they just kept attacking ferociously, making them nearly impossible to counter!
“Fourth Elder, if this keeps up, we’ll suffer heavy losses. These things are like puppets—no life, no fear of death, and they can fight endlessly. Why don’t we retreat? There’s nothing in this hall anyway!” the handsome man shouted.
“Yes, Fourth Elder, these things are so tough to deal with!” the others groaned in complaint.
“We can’t retreat! There’s no need to keep tangling with these Great Kun warriors either—charge towards the passage on the left front! Get past this area!” Lin Yun roared.
With that, Lin Yun swung his sword, knocking back the four Great Kun warriors attacking him. He stomped his foot, turning into a streak of light, and rushed to Yu Ying’s side, blasting away the Great Kun warrior she was facing.
“Yu Ying, let’s go!”
Lin Yun grabbed Yu Ying’s fair hand and dashed towards the left front.
“We’re going too—charge! I’ll cover the rear!” the Fourth Elder of the Sky Dome Clan shouted.
At the same time, he and the other Sky Dome Clan members rushed towards Lin Yun’s direction.
The Great Kun warriors pursued relentlessly.
“You think I’m a pushover?”
The Fourth Elder, guarding the rear, whipped out a dark red whip and lashed it fiercely.
Boom!
The dark red whip instantly burst into raging flames, unleashing tremendous power as it struck the pursuing Great Kun warriors.
Crash!
The warriors at the front were sent flying back by the whip, but after stabilising themselves, they charged again.
Lin Yun, leading the way, pulled Yu Ying out of the hall’s range and into another passage.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment they stepped into the passage, a torrent of arrows rained down like a violent storm!
Lin Yun, at the forefront blocking the arrows, bore the brunt of it.
His sword turned into a streak of light, slashing through the arrows relentlessly.
“Watch out!”
Lin Yun clearly saw an arrow break through Yu Ying’s defences, about to hit her!
Yu Ying’s combat experience was, after all, limited.
These arrows were very likely laced with deadly poison—Lin Yun knew that well!
If it struck Yu Ying, the consequences would be unthinkable!
Boom!
At the critical moment, Lin Yun’s left hand shot out, punching the arrow away.
“Brother Yun!” Yu Ying’s beautiful eyes flashed with surprise and joy—she knew Lin Yun had saved her.
“Let’s get through here first!” Lin Yun kept swinging his weapon, clearing the arrows.
“Right!” Yu Ying nodded firmly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The arrows kept coming, and Lin Yun didn’t dare slack off, continuing to swing his sword to block them while charging forward!
Yu Ying did her best to fend off arrows with her short sword.
Soon, the two reached the end of the passage.
At the passage’s end were several doors.
With arrows still flying, Lin Yun didn’t have time to think. He pulled Yu Ying and rushed through one of the doors.
Boom!
The moment Lin Yun and Yu Ying entered, the stone door slammed shut behind them.
The surroundings fell silent.
“Phew… that was close,” Lin Yun let out a long breath of relief.
“But the rest of your Sky Dome Clan couldn’t make it through here. It looks like we’ve been separated from them,” Lin Yun said, glancing back at the now-closed stone door.
“Brother Yun, are you alright?” Yu Ying didn’t care about the others—she was only worried about whether Lin Yun was hurt.
She’d noticed something off about his complexion…
“I’m fine,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
But Yu Ying quickly grabbed his left hand with her slender fingers, inspecting it closely.
“Oh no, there’s… a scrape here!” Yu Ying stared at a slight mark on the back of Lin Yun’s hand.
Lin Yun looked closely and saw a scratch on his hand.
“It must’ve been from when I punched that arrow away—it grazed me,” Lin Yun’s heart tightened.
He’d been too focused on rushing through to notice earlier.
If it were just a minor scrape, Lin Yun wouldn’t care at all.
But the problem was, those arrows were poisoned!
Sure enough, Lin Yun could already feel the toxin seeping through the wound, starting to take effect in his body.
Since it was only a graze, the amount of poison entering his system was small—not like the Sky Dome Clan’s third-tier Mahayana Realm member earlier, who’d taken an arrow straight to the shoulder, releasing all the poison into his body.
Even with a small dose, this Great Kun poison was still vicious!
Lin Yun could feel it wreaking havoc on his body.
“Suppress it!”
Lin Yun strained to circulate his inner energy, trying to subdue the toxin.
But he discovered that the more he used his inner energy, the faster the poison spread.
“Damn it!”
Lin Yun quickly stopped using his inner energy.
“Brother Yun, you… don’t die! It’s all my fault! All my fault!”
Yu Ying blamed herself, her eyes reddening as tears streamed down uncontrollably, her pained expression tugging at the heart.
She vividly remembered how her poisoned clanmate had died—how could she not worry?
And she noticed Lin Yun’s complexion growing greyer, gradually turning dark…
“Ying’er, don’t worry—I’m not dead yet, am I?” Lin Yun forced a smile.
As he spoke, he shivered involuntarily.
“Hiss… so cold!”
Lin Yun felt as if his entire body was freezing from the inside out. Unable to use his inner energy to dispel it, the chill was overwhelming.
Then, Lin Yun flipped his hand, pulling out some pills.
These were detoxifying and healing pills. Whether they’d work against the Great Kun poison, Lin Yun had no idea—he could only try.
Without hesitation, Lin Yun swallowed all the pills in one go.
It might’ve been a desperate move, like a sick man grasping at any cure…
But right now, Lin Yun had no other options.
