From the initial clash to Lin Yun’s sudden shift and explosive strike, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
The moment Lin Yun sent the Purple Qilin reeling with an injury, the Qu Ru Beast seized the opportunity. With terrifying speed, it dove from behind Lin Yun, aiming straight for his back!
A layer of golden light shimmered around the Qu Ru Beast’s body. Its massive, multicolored wings bore countless feathers—each one razor-sharp and glinting with a cold sheen, like a barrage of deadly blades.
“Big Brother, watch your back!” Wei Qi shouted in panic as he watched the scene unfold.
He’d been tracking the battlefield closely and saw it all: just as Lin Yun repelled the Purple Qilin, the Qu Ru Beast capitalized on its dive, its wings slashing toward Lin Yun’s unguarded rear. Lin Yun had no time to react!
*Slash!*
Under Wei Qi’s horrified gaze, the Qu Ru Beast’s wings slammed into Lin Yun’s back, its countless blade-like feathers raking across him!
“Big Brother!”
Wei Qi’s eyes widened as he let out a guttural scream.
“Big Brother!”
Huo Zhen, locked in combat with the Sixth-Turn human, roared as well.
They both knew full well that no human body could withstand such an assault.
Even a typical Sixth- or Seventh-Turn Tribulation Realm cultivator wouldn’t dare take a hit like that head-on—it’d be certain death!
Even with Holy Spirit-grade defensive armor, it’d still mean severe injury!
“Haha, you’re done for, you bastard!”
The injured Purple Qilin, watching from midair, let out a savage laugh.
Just when everyone thought Lin Yun was either dead or crippled, he—sent flying backward by the impact—suddenly stabilized himself in midair. Then, unscathed, he whirled around and charged ferociously at the Qu Ru Beast!
“What? He’s… fine?” The Purple Qilin’s bronze-bell eyes bulged in disbelief.
How was this possible?
It couldn’t believe its own eyes. There wasn’t a single wound on Lin Yun—not even blood. Only his back robes were torn to shreds.
And judging by the ferocity of his counterattack, he didn’t seem injured in the slightest!
“Big Brother’s completely unharmed?”
Even Wei Qi was dumbfounded as he watched Lin Yun’s vigorous counterassault!
This defied everything he knew!
In the battlefield…
Lin Yun’s countercharge brought him face-to-face with the Qu Ru Beast in an instant, his sword radiating a devastating aura!
The Qu Ru Beast, still reeling from shock, hadn’t expected Lin Yun to turn the tables so suddenly.
It snapped out of its daze only as Lin Yun’s attack closed in.
*Defend!*
The Qu Ru Beast wrapped its massive wings around itself, curling into a ball, using its feathers as a shield to block Lin Yun’s strike!
*Heaven-Shaking Hand, erupt!*
At the last second, Lin Yun infused his sword with even more power, its might surging once again.
The Qu Ru Beast’s feathers were too tough—Lin Yun needed the Heaven-Shaking Hand to ensure he’d pierce its defenses.
*Boom!!!*
The sword, a streak of purple light, crashed into the Qu Ru Beast’s wings with earth-shattering force.
Its feathers—sharp enough to serve as both weapon and armor—were formidable.
Yet when Lin Yun’s Purple Qiong Sword struck, it sliced straight through the wings and plunged into the beast’s body.
In the next instant, Lin Yun yanked the sword free and darted back.
A gaping, bloody hole appeared on the Qu Ru Beast, blood gushing out like a breached dam!
“You… how could you…” The Qu Ru Beast’s expression froze in disbelief.
It never imagined Lin Yun could shatter its formidable defenses—and so thoroughly!
A moment later, its life faded, and it plummeted from the sky like a broken kite.
The Qu Ru Beast was dead!
“How… how could this be!?”
The Purple Qilin stared in shock, feeling as if it were dreaming.
Without pausing, Lin Yun charged downward, sword in hand, streaking toward the Purple Qilin like lightning!
“Next, it’s your turn!”
Lin Yun’s roar thundered as he locked onto the Purple Qilin, his eyes blazing with ferocity.
*Shadow Sword Art, Fifth Form!* *Heaven-Shaking Hand!* He unleashed everything—twelvefold Taixu Power, Demon Bone, divine sense, and seven fused mysteries—holding nothing back.
Though these beasts matched a human Sixth-Turn Tribulation Realm in strength, their defenses far exceeded a human’s. To crush them outright, Lin Yun pulled out all the stops.
“Kid, you’ve forced my hand!”
The already-injured Purple Qilin let out a deafening roar as Lin Yun closed in.
Its body flared with blinding purple light, dimming even the sun above.
Its form swelled, its aura surging dramatically.
“Let’s see who’s stronger, kid!” The empowered Purple Qilin lunged at Lin Yun!
“Burning its bloodline power, huh?”
“Too bad—the outcome’s the same!”
*Demon Bone! Armguard Power! Erupt!*
With his final trump cards unleashed, Lin Yun’s attack reached its peak!
*Boom!*
Their attacks collided, shaking the heavens and whipping up a ferocious gale.
Below, the grasslands and trees were obliterated in an instant, leaving a barren wasteland stretching dozens of miles!
In the clash…
Lin Yun’s sword severed the Purple Qilin’s massive hoof, then pierced its armored abdomen!
“You… you…” The Purple Qilin glared at Lin Yun, stunned.
It couldn’t accept this—a mere Third-Turn Tribulation Realm human, this strong?
It had thought this mission would be a breeze—teaming up with the Qu Ru Beast to crush Lin Yun effortlessly.
But reality defied expectations.
Lin Yun’s power far exceeded the demon clan’s predictions!
As its consciousness faded, its shock, unwillingness, and rage all vanished…
Its massive body fell to the plains below like a broken kite.
“This… this…”
Wei Qi stood on the vessel, staring blankly into the sky.
Though both demons were dead, the battle’s every moment replayed in his mind.
He, too, hadn’t expected Lin Yun to dispatch them so easily. When Lin Yun first charged at them, Wei Qi had been worried—convinced Lin Yun couldn’t handle it.
