Escape!
The Xuanyu Sect’s Tribulation Realm expert, seeing the situation turn dire, was the first to flee, leading his sect members to scatter in all directions.
For them, joining Prince Yi to bully someone was fine—low risk, and a chance to curry favor with the prince.
But risking their lives or dying? No way.
“Trying to escape? Dream on!”
Lin Yun moved like a darting rabbit, swiftly charging forward.
Elder Yan also sprang into action, teaming up with Lin Yun to confront the monkey-faced Tribulation Realm elder from Xuanyu Sect.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fierce attacks erupted instantly. Under the combined assault of Lin Yun and Elder Yan, the monkey-faced elder was overwhelmed in moments.
“Gentlemen, this has nothing to do with me! Let me go!” the monkey-faced elder pleaded while desperately parrying.
He was giving his all, yet he couldn’t handle Lin Yun and Elder Yan’s terrifying attacks. They gave him a suffocating sense of impending doom, knowing he could die at any moment.
“You wanted to team up with Prince Yi to kill me, and now you say it’s not your concern? Some things aren’t so easy to join or walk away from!” Lin Yun said, striking relentlessly.
If Lin Yun hadn’t gained the upper hand, this man would surely have joined Prince Yi to beat him mercilessly. Would he have shown mercy? Absolutely not!
“Die!”
As the monkey-faced elder blocked Elder Yan’s attack, Lin Yun’s strike suddenly surged in power, breaking through his defense and piercing his abdomen with a sword.
The protective soft armor he wore burst apart, and Lin Yun’s sword sliced through his flesh.
Boom!
As the blade plunged into his body, its terrifying force flooded in, shredding his organs.
“Pfft!”
The monkey-faced elder sprayed blood, his aura rapidly fading, his eyes still wide with shock.
He never dreamed that his attempt to ingratiate himself with Prince Yi would cost him his life.
As his life drained away, he perished completely!
Lin Yun grabbed his shoulder, taking his weapon and storage ring before letting go.
A Tribulation Realm cultivator’s spoils were bound to be valuable.
With the Supreme Qiankun Cauldron, which could decompose anything, these spoils—regardless of quality—could be fed into it to produce Qiankun Crystal Stones.
From now on, Lin Yun would pay even closer attention to collecting spoils.
On the other side.
Prince Yi activated an artifact, directing everyone to channel energy into it.
Whoosh.
A massive beam of light shot from the artifact, surging toward Big Bear with the force of a tidal wave.
This attack, fueled by the combined power of Prince Yi’s entire group, was undeniably formidable.
“Big Bear should be able to handle it, right?” Lin Yun watched, slightly tense, not entirely certain.
In the battlefield.
Big Bear faced the oncoming beam and swung a paw with devastating force, tearing through space.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed as the beam was shattered by Big Bear’s paw, its remnants scattering as terrifying shockwaves, churning the Silver Lake below into towering waves and shaking the surrounding space.
“Beautiful!”
Seeing Big Bear demolish the attack, Lin Yun’s face lit up with a smile.
“This… this metal bear is too strong!” Elder Yan smacked his lips, his eyes filled with shock.
When Elder Yan had rushed in, he was prepared to die. As a Tribulation Realm cultivator, he didn’t have much time left anyway.
He never imagined Lin Yun would summon such a powerful metal creature, turning the tide.
After the shock, Elder Yan grinned with excitement. The danger was gone, and now it was Prince Yi’s group who were in trouble.
“Damn it, this metal bear is too strong!”
Prince Yi and his allies’ faces paled at the sight.
“Why! How could this happen! How did he suddenly gain such a powerful metal creature!” Prince Yi roared, unwilling to accept it.
When they chased Lin Yun earlier, he had no such thing.
Could he have obtained it at the lake’s bottom?
Regardless of their guesses, the urgent issue was dealing with the immediate crisis.
“Prince Yi, we can’t handle this metal bear. We’ll cover you—run!” another Tribulation Realm elder from the Tianqian royal clan shouted to Prince Yi.
“Run?”
Prince Yi’s eye twitched, his face as ugly as if he’d eaten filth.
He had been determined to kill Lin Yun to vent his rage.
Now, being counterattacked by Lin Yun and forced to flee? He was practically exploding with anger!
But he knew, given the situation, running was his only option.
At that moment, Big Bear charged again.
The Tribulation Realm elder beside Prince Yi rushed forward to engage Big Bear.
“Prince Yi, escape! I’m running too!”
Elder Mu, unwilling to fight, also chose to flee.
“Run!”
Despite his reluctance, Prince Yi steeled himself, bursting into speed and turning to escape.
The few cultivators watching from a distance were stunned by the scene.
“My God, Prince Yi and his group… they’re actually running!”
“That young kid really forced Prince Yi and his team to flee in disgrace.”
…
The onlookers, who had expected Lin Yun to be annihilated by Prince Yi, were shocked by the stark contrast to their predictions…
“Want to escape? Did you ask me?”
Lin Yun’s booming voice rang out like a thunderous bell, echoing across the sky!
At the same time, Lin Yun and Elder Yan moved in tandem, blocking Prince Yi’s escape route from front and back.
“You bastard, get out of my way!” Prince Yi, his face ashen, roared at Lin Yun, his fury beyond measure, yet powerless.
They had been the ones waiting to ambush Lin Yun, the ones holding the knife while Lin Yun was the prey!
Now, he was the one trapped, reduced to fish on Lin Yun’s chopping block.
“Get out of your way? Prince Yi, do you think that’s possible? Aren’t you being a bit too naive?” Lin Yun’s lips curled into a playful smile.
Prince Yi’s face twitched, growing uglier. Having fought Lin Yun before, he knew he stood no chance in a one-on-one fight.
“I’m a prince of the Tianqian Empire. Do you know the consequences of touching me?” Prince Yi clung to his princely arrogance.
Behind him stood the Tianqian Empire, and his father was Emperor Tianqian!
This was the source of his lifelong confidence and pride!
