The caravan members continued to thank Lin Yun fervently.
“Leave quickly and don’t linger!” Lin Yun said to the caravan before swiftly soaring into the air, ascending to ten thousand metres.
In the high skies.
“Since you’re here, why hide? Show yourselves!” Lin Yun’s voice boomed.
Boom!
As his words fell, two massive figures tore through the sky, one charging from the front, the other from behind.
Lin Yun could clearly sense their formidable auras.
“Two at once? Interesting!” Lin Yun’s playful smile widened.
The more that came, the greater his gains and the demon race’s losses—how delightful!
He glanced at the two Heavenly Demons’ appearances.
One was covered in fiery red fur, each strand sharp as a spike, with massive wings of the same hue. A long, single horn protruded from its head, and its four legs bore razor-sharp claws.
This was a Heavenly Demon with Qiongqi bloodline!
The other resembled an enormous dog, with leopard-like patterns and bull-like horns—a “Jiao”!
In the valley below.
“Look, demon beasts in the sky!”
“Such terrifying auras! It’s been ages since demon beasts appeared in Dongyuan Prefecture. Why now, and so powerful?”
“Those two are after the hero who saved us!”
“Will he be in danger?”
The caravan members looked up, wide-eyed.
In the high skies.
“Lin Yun, this time, you’re dead!” the fiery-red Fei Huo, the Qiongqi-bloodline demon, roared at Lin Yun.
Before rushing in, they had confirmed no reinforcements were near Lin Yun.
This boosted their confidence in quickly eliminating him.
“The demon race always claims I’ll die every time you try to assassinate me, yet who suffers each time? You never learn,” Lin Yun sighed, shaking his head.
“Hmph, arrogant fool! You think this is like before? We’re seventh-tier Heavenly Demons. Killing a Second-Tier Myriad Things Realm like you is child’s play!” Fei Huo declared, its powerful aura fully unleashed.
“Seventh-tier Heavenly Demons are strong, but sadly, you’re not enough to kill me,” Lin Yun said with a confident smile.
“Fei Huo, enough talk. This is human territory; we can’t stay long after revealing ourselves. Let’s finish this in three minutes, take his head, and report back!” the other demon said.
“Ten seconds is more than enough. Watch me crush him!” Fei Huo sneered, brimming with confidence.
With a fierce flap of its wings, Fei Huo charged at Lin Yun with astonishing speed, its four clawed legs slashing like sharp weapons.
For these demons, their bodies were their weapons. Unlike humans, they needed no external arms, as their claws grew stronger with their power, like weapons that scaled with their strength.
“Human brat, your head is mine today!” Fei Huo roared confidently, its charge causing the air to crackle with explosive sounds.
“Impressive strength!” Lin Yun instantly felt the immense power in Fei Huo’s attack.
Its force was no less than that of a First-Tier Dominion Realm!
“But the stronger, the better!”
Lin Yun grinned, swiftly drawing his treasured sword, his inner energy surging like a torrent.
“Heavenly Source Sword Art, Great Annihilation!”
Lin Yun slashed, his sword transforming into a massive shadow, his divine sense and physical strength erupting.
Roar!
The giant sword shadow gleamed with golden light, a radiant golden dragon phantom appearing atop it, letting out a earth-shaking roar as it struck alongside the sword shadow!
Indeed, this was the special-grade Dragon Art!
Facing a powerful seventh-tier Heavenly Demon, Lin Yun had to use his strongest techniques.
The massive sword shadow collided with the charging Fei Huo in an instant!
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave soared into the sky, rippling like colossal waves.
In the valley below.
Crack, crack, crack!
Rocks tumbled from the peaks, and cracks spread across the mountains.
“My heavens…”
The caravan members, feeling the shockwave, stared upward, faces pale with fear.
The battle was ten thousand metres up, and the shockwave, dampened by the world’s forces, was already weak by the time it reached them. Yet it was still terrifying.
They had never witnessed such a fearsome battle. Even from afar, it made their hearts race, as if they might suffocate.
“Such terrifying power… the human who saved us, he’s… he’s probably an immortal, right?”
“The demon race is ambushing a human immortal? How can this be?”
Exclamations rose one after another.
To them, even a Void Realm expert was impressive, but an immortal? That was a legendary figure, godlike, someone they’d never seen in their lives!
“Quick, let’s get out of here!” a middle-aged caravan leader shouted.
…
In the high skies.
After the clash, Fei Huo was pushed back a dozen metres, flapping its wings fiercely to stabilise.
“How is this possible!?”
Stunned, Fei Huo stared at Lin Yun as if he’d seen a ghost.
Lin Yun’s attack hadn’t truly harmed it, only forced it back, but the shock it caused was immense!
A Second-Tier Myriad Things Realm producing such power? Fei Huo couldn’t comprehend it.
It was a seventh-tier Heavenly Demon, among the top of its tier, confident even against an average First-Tier Dominion Realm human immortal!
Even if Lin Yun had cross-tier abilities, the gap between them was a major realm!
Its plan had been to kill Lin Yun instantly.
“I told you, you’re not enough to kill me,” Lin Yun said, still smiling.
