“What’s going on?!” Lin Yun’s expression changed.
The next moment, a large number of demonic sharks surged out from the seawater surrounding the island, attacking all the teams on the island from the sky and the ground in an overwhelming assault.
At the same time, a powerful spatial lockdown fluctuation spread out.
“It’s the Mo Sha Clan from the Endless Sea, quick! Defend yourselves!”
The teams preparing to leave immediately engaged the demonic sharks charging towards them.
“All humans who come out, don’t let a single one escape! Kill them all!”
The leader of the Mo Sha Clan issued the command to all the participating demonic sharks.
With the sudden attack of the Mo Sha Clan, the entire island instantly turned into a battlefield.
On the island, there were at least several thousand demonic sharks, all elite members of the Mo Sha Clan.
By this time, Lin Yun had already brought Yu Ying back to the front of the Tianqiong Clan’s team.
“Damn it, the Mo Sha Clan must have been lying in ambush outside all along!” the Fourth Elder of the Tianqiong Clan roared through gritted teeth.
At that moment, a large number of demonic sharks charged towards them!
“Engage!” The Fourth Elder of the Tianqiong Clan swiftly met the attack.
“As expected, they were ambushing outside!”
Lin Yun’s gaze sharpened.
Lin Yun had always been puzzled as to why no races from the Endless Sea had come to compete for it.
Now, that mystery was finally solved.
According to the intelligence Lin Yun had, the Mo Sha Clan was the most powerful of the shark species in the Endless Sea. The Tiger Shark Clan, which Lin Yun had once dealt with, was merely a branch under the Mo Sha Clan.
The territory ruled by the Mo Sha Clan spanned millions of nautical miles!
At that moment, two demonic sharks lunged at Lin Yun.
“Die!”
Lin Yun drew his treasured sword and instantly killed the two demonic sharks.
These two weren’t particularly strong, but more demonic sharks kept coming, including some with powerful auras.
Lin Yun briefly sensed that there were at least dozens of demonic sharks equivalent to the Tribulation Realm.
The leader of the Mo Sha Clan, hovering in the air and overlooking the battlefield, exuded the aura of a Heavenly Demon!
In other words, this Mo Sha Clan leader was equivalent to a genuine Eternal Being!
Behind this airborne Mo Sha leader were more than a dozen subordinates equivalent to the Tribulation Realm, who had yet to join the fight.
At that moment, three demonic sharks, roughly equivalent to the Fifth-Turn Tribulation Realm, led a dozen others equivalent to the Mahayana Realm, charging straight into the Tianqiong Clan’s team.
The Fourth Elder of the Tianqiong Clan immediately acted, intercepting two of the strongest ones.
But one Fifth-Turn Tribulation Realm demonic shark broke through and instantly reached the handsome man.
“Pfft!”
The handsome man was struck and sent flying, crashing into a boulder, spitting blood from his mouth.
The demonic shark didn’t pause for a moment, lunging forward again, clearly intent on finishing him off!
“No!!!”
Seeing the powerful demonic shark charging at him, the handsome man roared in defiance, his face flushed red!
Boom!
Just as the demonic shark was about to strike the handsome man, a sword beam flashed past, blasting the shark away and killing it!
“Lin… Lin Yun!”
The handsome man stared in disbelief at Lin Yun, who had landed beside him.
That sword strike had clearly been unleashed by Lin Yun.
It was Lin Yun who had saved him!
“You… you saved me?” The handsome man found it unimaginable.
Throughout their journey, he had constantly opposed Lin Yun, even kicking him when he was down, and secretly wishing for his death.
Yet now, Lin Yun had saved his life? He could never have dreamed of this.
“Don’t be surprised. If the enemy were human, I wouldn’t have saved you.”
After dropping that line, Lin Yun quickly turned and rejoined the battle.
This was a fight against sea demons, a demon clan, while Lin Yun was human, and so was the handsome man.
This was a battle between two species, so Lin Yun saved him—they were on the same side, both part of the human race.
In a conflict with the demon clan, Lin Yun could set aside all grudges, as long as everyone could unite against the demonic beasts.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the handsome man shouted to the Fourth Elder of the Tianqiong Clan, “Fourth Elder, if we keep fighting like this, we’re doomed to lose. We need to find a way to escape!”
“I’ll break the spatial lockdown!” the Fourth Elder declared.
In fact, Lin Yun was also preparing to use his Super Space-Breaking Pearl to shatter the spatial lockdown.
In this battle, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too vast—there was no chance of winning. Escape was the best option, and Lin Yun planned to take Yu Ying and flee directly.
Buzz buzz!
Before the Fourth Elder could use his Super Space-Breaking Pearl, the spatial lockdown was already broken.
Clearly, one of the other teams present had used their own Super Space-Breaking Pearl.
“Run, run, run!”
In an instant, many people attempted to teleport away.
In midair.
Boom!
The Mo Sha Clan leader, hovering in the sky, reached out with a massive hand, his arm disappearing into the void. He forcibly dragged a cultivator using a teleportation artifact back from the void.
“Want to escape? In your dreams!”
The Mo Sha Clan leader crushed a First-Turn Tribulation Realm cultivator to death with his bare hands!
“What?”
This display of power sent a shockwave of terror through all the cultivators on the island, their faces paling dramatically.
Even using a teleportation artifact to escape could be intercepted and result in death. This poured cold water on everyone’s hopes of fleeing, extinguishing their chances of survival!
Boom boom boom!
The battle continued to rage, with casualties on both sides. Though several demonic sharks were slain, a number of human cultivators also perished.
The human teams were undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Moreover, the demonic sharks fought as a unified force, while the human teams were scattered, each fighting alone.
The outcome of this situation was obvious!
After slaying two more demonic sharks, Lin Yun looked up into the sky.
“To think they have such a method!”
Even teleportation escapes were being blocked—this technique chilled Lin Yun to the core.
Fleeing in a flying vessel?
No matter how fast his vessel was, if that Heavenly Demon pursued, escape would likely be impossible.
A Heavenly Demon was equivalent to a human Eternal Being—beings who had transcended reincarnation and were unbound by ordinary worldly laws. They were far more powerful than those in the Tribulation Realm.
What could he do?
This situation left Lin Yun feeling powerless.
Not just Lin Yun—almost every team present had fallen into despair.
“There’s probably only one way now: all the cultivators teleport at the same time. No matter how strong that Heavenly Demon is, it can only stop a few people in a single moment—it can’t stop everyone,” Lin Yun thought to himself.
This plan required all the cultivators from every team to unite and act together for it to succeed.
Of course, a few would have to sacrifice themselves for the rest, and who that would be depended on luck.
“Everyone, let’s teleport together in a moment. That way, most of us can escape. No matter what grudges we hold between us, when facing sea demons, we humans are one group. We must unite!” Lin Yun immediately transmitted his voice to the surrounding cultivators.
Unity was the key to escaping alive!
However, just as Lin Yun’s message went out, a loud voice suddenly boomed.
“Mo Sha Clan, the Frost Heart of the Great Kun Clan is in that guy’s hands! What you want is with him—it has nothing to do with us!”
The elder of the Baili Clan pointed directly at Lin Yun.
His voice instantly echoed across the entire island!
Hearing this, Lin Yun’s gaze snapped towards the Baili Clan elder.
“You old dog!” Lin Yun’s eyes blazed with fury.
Lin Yun hadn’t expected the Baili Clan elder to pull such a move out of nowhere!
From a distance, the Baili Clan elder met Lin Yun’s gaze and smirked triumphantly. “Kid, this time it’s your turn to suffer.”
After saying that, the Baili Clan elder sneered and made a throat-slitting gesture.
At that moment, the other teams began to chime in.
“Yes, yes, yes! The Frost Heart is with him! We can all swear on our souls. You want the Frost Heart—there’s no need to target us!”
“Attacking us will only cause more unnecessary losses for your Mo Sha Clan warriors! The Frost Heart is in that guy’s hands. Just deal with him alone, and you can avoid pointless sacrifices for the Mo Sha Clan. Plus, that guy has a Heavenly Dao-level weapon!”
“I can confirm the Frost Heart is with him!”
“I can confirm it too!”
…
In an instant, the cultivators from all the other teams pointed the finger at Lin Yun, directing all attention towards him!
Clearly, they hoped to shift the Mo Sha Clan’s focus onto Lin Yun.
That way, they might have a chance to escape!
