After hearing the words of those present, Lin Yun felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
If everyone could unite, there would still be a way out.
But instead, they all chose the latter—betraying Lin Yun. Did they really think that by doing so, the Mo Sha leader would absolutely let them go?
How realistic!
“Yes, yes, yes, the Frost Heart is with him!” Even the handsome man beside him pointed at Lin Yun and shouted.
“Big Cousin, how… how could you do this? Brother Yun just saved your life!” Yu Ying snapped angrily, her voice sharp yet delicate.
“Yu Ying, sacrificing him gives us a chance to survive. He’s contributing to all of us. Don’t worry, after he dies, as long as we escape, we’ll all be grateful to him, won’t we?” The handsome man spoke earnestly, a smile on his face.
In the sky, the Mo Sha Clan’s Heavenly Demon leader, having heard everyone pointing at Lin Yun, shifted its gaze towards him.
“A Third-Turn Tribulation Realm kid,” the Mo Sha leader muttered.
“You two, go kill that kid and take his storage ring.”
With a wave of its hand, the Mo Sha leader ordered two of its demonic sharks to capture Lin Yun.
“Yes!”
The two demonic sharks immediately obeyed and dove towards Lin Yun.
On the island.
“Lin Yun, we have nothing to do with you. Get far away from us, don’t drag us down!” the handsome man yelled at Lin Yun.
The Tianqiong Clan elder also quickly added, “Let’s go, retreat at once and keep our distance from this Lin Yun!”
Now that Lin Yun had been targeted by the Mo Sha leader, they naturally wanted no association with him, fearing they’d be caught in the crossfire.
Lin Yun said nothing, merely showing a sorrowful smile.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Tianqiong Clan had scattered.
Only Yu Ying remained standing in front of Lin Yun.
“Brother Yun, no matter life or death, no matter how these people treat you, Ying’er will always stay by your side!” Yu Ying’s pretty face was filled with determination.
Seeing Yu Ying beside him, a warmth finally sparked in Lin Yun’s heart.
After retreating to a distance, the Fourth Elder of the Tianqiong Clan noticed Yu Ying hadn’t moved. He hurriedly sent her a mental message, “Miss Ying’er, come here quickly! You’ll get yourself killed like this. There are plenty of men in the world—if you lose your life, you’ll have nothing left!”
At that moment, the two powerful demonic sharks dispatched by the Mo Sha leader charged towards Lin Yun.
“Kid, die!”
One demonic shark spoke in human tongue, its razor-sharp fin slicing towards Lin Yun like a curved blade!
The other demonic shark came crashing down with terrifying force, barreling towards Lin Yun!
The power unleashed by these two demonic sharks was comparable to the Fifth-Turn Tribulation Realm.
“You’re the ones who’ll die!” Lin Yun’s face twisted with ferocity.
At this moment, Lin Yun felt no fear—only madness and the urge to kill!
At the same time, the Zijong Sword in Lin Yun’s hand flipped, transforming into a streak of purple light, radiating with unstoppable might!
“What?!”
The two demonic sharks charging at Lin Yun sensed the terrifying killing move and were instantly shocked.
“Die!”
A fearsome sword strike flashed through, instantly piercing their tough hides and slaying one with a single blow!
The sword abruptly changed course, striking towards the second demonic shark.
“No!”
Seeing its companion killed in an instant, the other demonic shark lost all will to fight and turned to flee.
But the sword light had already enveloped it.
Rip!
The sword slashed through, killing it on the spot.
In midair.
“What?”
The Mo Sha leader, watching its dispatched subordinates get killed in an instant, went from expressionless to visibly stunned.
It had assumed that sending two subordinates comparable to the Fifth-Turn Tribulation Realm would easily deal with a Third-Turn Tribulation Realm like Lin Yun.
“A Heavenly Dao-level weapon—truly powerful!” Greed flickered in the Mo Sha leader’s eyes.
In its view, for a Third-Turn Tribulation Realm cultivator to unleash such strength, it had to be due to the Heavenly Dao-level weapon in Lin Yun’s hands.
A Heavenly Dao-level weapon could indeed boost Lin Yun significantly—by about one and a half levels. Moreover, since this weapon paired perfectly with the Shadow Sword Technique, it allowed Lin Yun to leap two levels when using it.
Back in the ruins when Lin Yun fought the Baili Clan elder, the advantage of his Heavenly Dao-level weapon over the elder’s Holy Spirit-level weapon had been enough to bridge a two-level gap.
A Heavenly Dao-level weapon was indeed far more precious and powerful than a Holy Spirit-level one!
“It seems this time, I’ll get an extra Heavenly Dao-level weapon. Well worth it!” The Mo Sha leader’s smile grew wider.
“Second Elder, go take that kid’s head, weapon, and storage ring,” the Mo Sha leader ordered with another wave of its hand.
“Yes!”
A demonic shark beside the Mo Sha leader responded.
…
Below.
After slaying the two demonic sharks, Lin Yun landed back in front of Yu Ying.
“Ying’er, go to the Tianqiong Clan’s group first. Leave this to me. Be good, listen to me,” Lin Yun said softly, stroking Yu Ying’s hair with a smile.
Lin Yun knew he’d been marked by the Mo Sha leader. What came next was uncertain—life or death hung in the balance. If the Mo Sha leader attacked him personally, he’d have no chance of resisting!
He might very well die here today.
Though Yu Ying was willing to live and die with him, Lin Yun wanted her to live.
“Brother Yun, if you die, what meaning is there in Ying’er living? Brother Yun should understand—I won’t leave. We promised to live and die together!” Yu Ying gazed at Lin Yun with earnest resolve.
“Ying’er, thank you. Alright! We’ll live and die together!” Lin Yun smiled at her.
The next moment, a wave of divine sense enveloped Yu Ying.
Yu Ying’s divine sense wasn’t strong, and under Lin Yun’s influence, she immediately felt dizzy.
“Brother… Brother Yun… no… no…”
Yu Ying instantly realised what he was trying to do.
But before she could finish speaking, her consciousness faded.
“Ying’er, you can’t die. You have to live well. I’m sorry—I lied to you. I’m sorry I might not be able to stay with you any longer,” Lin Yun said, his voice tinged with pain.
After speaking, Lin Yun gently kissed Yu Ying’s face.
He knew that, given the current situation, he was likely on a path to death. Against a Heavenly Demon, there was no way he could leave alive.
Next, he summoned the metallic being ‘Tian.’
“Master!” The metallic being Tian bowed to Lin Yun.
“Take Ying’er to the Tianqiong Clan’s team and stay there. If I die, Yu Ying will be your new master,” Lin Yun instructed.
“Understood!”
The metallic being ‘Tian’ accepted the order and carried the unconscious Yu Ying towards the distant Tianqiong Clan team.
Seeing Yu Ying being brought over, the Fourth Elder of the Tianqiong Clan was relieved. If anything happened to her, how could he explain it when he returned?
At that moment, the Second Elder dispatched by the Mo Sha leader descended from the sky, heading straight for Lin Yun.
“Since there’s no way out, bring it on!” Lin Yun’s eyes burned with wild battle intent.
Now, Lin Yun had no reservations!
If today offered only a path to death, Lin Yun would fight to his last breath, exhausting every last drop of inner strength in his body!
