Lin Yun showed no signs of urgency. After all, this was human territory, and the demons were isolated without support. The longer this dragged on, the more anxious they would be.
In the earlier clash, Lin Yun had used an origin-grade sword, his divine sense, the power of his Origin Body, and the special-grade Dragon Art, achieving that impressive result. The special-grade Dragon Art had been crucial.
Lin Yun was quite satisfied with its power.
“Brother Fei Huo, should I step in?” the other Heavenly Demon, seeing Fei Huo’s setback, was eager to join.
“No need, I can handle this!”
“Hmph, you’re just a Second-Tier Myriad Things Realm. Taste my true power!” Fei Huo roared, its body suddenly glowing blood-red.
With a fierce flap of its wings, its sharp claws tore through the air, charging at Lin Yun like lightning.
Lin Yun swiftly retreated, pulling back to avoid the canyon below and protect the caravan.
“Haha, you think I’m out of tricks?”
“Dragon Claw, Fourth Layer!”
As Lin Yun retreated, his sword-wielding arm was instantly covered in dragon scales, a terrifying energy surging from it!
At the same time, he slashed again, his sword transforming into a massive shadow entwined with a golden dragon phantom.
Boom!
The collision tore through the void, shaking the heavens, with fierce winds sweeping across a hundred miles.
Under this impact, Fei Huo was forced back again!
“How is this possible!?”
The retreating Fei Huo roared in fury.
Even if it had underestimated Lin Yun before, it now had to take him seriously!
Despite its full outburst, it had still been pushed back, proving Lin Yun’s strength.
“A seventh-tier Heavenly Demon, and this is all? A bit overhyped, isn’t it? Struggling against a Second-Tier Myriad Things Realm like me? If the demon race is full of trash like you, you’d better stay holed up in the Beast Mountain Range or just surrender to the humans,” Lin Yun said, standing with his sword, smiling.
“You… you…”
Fei Huo trembled with rage, its massive eyes practically spitting fire.
“Join me, kill this bastard!” Fei Huo bellowed.
“Got it!”
The other seventh-tier Heavenly Demon, eager to fight, immediately charged at Lin Yun.
Fei Huo rushed forward too.
They knew the situation had spiraled beyond their initial plan of instantly killing Lin Yun and leaving.
Now, having dragged on so long in human territory—deep in enemy lines—they couldn’t afford to delay further. If human reinforcements arrived, they’d be stranded.
“Even two against one, you’re no match!” Lin Yun grinned.
With that, he raised his hand, revealing the Nine-Star Pagoda.
Boom!
The pagoda expanded instantly, emitting a dazzling light that sucked both Heavenly Demons inside.
For Lin Yun, fighting them within the Nine-Star Pagoda was far more advantageous.
He swiftly entered the pagoda.
Inside the vast pagoda space.
“Brother Fei Huo, this is bad! This guy has such a treasure. Our strength is suppressed here. If he stalls us until reinforcements arrive, what then?” the Jiao demon exclaimed.
“Kill him quickly, and this treasure will be ownerless. Then we can escape. No more delays—full power, end this fast!” Fei Huo roared.
It was growing anxious; the situation was nothing like they’d imagined. They had to finish this quickly.
“Quick victory? In your dreams. This place will be your grave,” Lin Yun said, still smiling.
“Damn you, you think this will work?”
“Attack!”
Fei Huo roared and charged first, the Jiao demon quickly following.
“Let’s spice things up!”
“Dragon Claw, Fifth Layer!”
Boom!
Lin Yun’s sword-wielding arm surged with even more terrifying power, elevating his strength further!
The Dragon Claw was fully unleashed.
His sword transformed into a massive blade of light, striking out.
Boom, boom, boom!
The fierce battle erupted instantly.
After Lin Yun’s attack pushed Fei Huo back, the Jiao demon’s assault came. Lin Yun swiftly countered, repeatedly forcing both back!
Inside the Nine-Star Pagoda, Lin Yun’s speed was noticeably faster than outside.
Both seventh-tier Heavenly Demons were giving their all.
“Pfft!”
Amid the clash, Lin Yun’s sword sliced a gruesome wound on Fei Huo’s wing, blood gushing out, staining it redder.
“Haha, exhilarating!”
Lin Yun laughed heartily, attacking with gusto.
The battle was thrilling for him.
But for the two demons, it was brutal. Despite their full efforts, they couldn’t defeat Lin Yun.
The fight had gone on for a while.
“Brother Fei Huo, what now?”
The Jiao demon was frantic. They’d fought so long, and even if they didn’t want to admit Lin Yun’s strength, they knew how tough this “bone” was to crack!
They’d come to assassinate Lin Yun, but now they were the ones in trouble.
Trapped in the pagoda, they couldn’t even escape if they wanted to.
Lin Yun looked at them, smiling, “I must say, your defence is impressive. If you were human, you’d have crumbled by now.”
Then his tone shifted, “But that doesn’t change the fact that you’ll lose today.”
“Bastard!!!”
Fei Huo, driven to near madness by Lin Yun’s words, leaped up, folding its wings before snapping them open.
Boom!
All the feathers on its wings shot out like countless sharp arrows, piercing the void in a barrage aimed at Lin Yun, each feather like a divine weapon!
“Impressive!”
Lin Yun’s eyes narrowed, swiftly swinging his sword to block.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
The countless sharp feathers poured over, but most were deflected by Lin Yun’s sweeping sword.
