“No prolonged fighting.”
Using the force of being knocked back, Lin Yun stowed his weapon and fled frantically.
“Damn it, how is this guy so resilient?” the purple-robed old man cursed, continuing the chase.
In his eyes, a Dominion realm cultivator like Lin Yun should be easily defeated, even crushed.
His ferocious attack just now hadn’t seriously injured Lin Yun. Something was off.
The white-robed man also pursued Lin Yun with full force, raising his hand to unleash a palm strike. A massive palm shadow formed in the air, swiftly bearing down on Lin Yun.
This time, Lin Yun didn’t look back.
Boom.
In an instant, the giant palm shadow struck Lin Yun, exploding on impact.
Dazzling light erupted, filling the sky.
The purple-robed old man and the white-robed man watched the glowing area, eager to see the outcome.
The next moment, eight identical Lin Yuns burst from the light, scattering in eight different directions, fleeing at full speed.
“What?”
The purple-robed old man and the white-robed man halted mid-air, caught off guard.
They couldn’t tell which was the real Lin Yun or which direction to pursue.
“Attack first.”
The purple-robed old man waved his hand, his surging inner force forming two massive red energy wheels in his palm, hurtling towards the Lin Yuns fleeing to his left and right.
The white-robed man also clapped both hands, conjuring two giant palm shadows that shot towards other Lin Yuns.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
As the four attacks struck their targets, dazzling light flared again.
When the light faded, the four targeted Lin Yun figures had vanished.
“Damn it, those four were fake,” the purple-robed old man cursed.
The remaining four figures, in the brief moment of their pause and attack, had escaped a considerable distance, beyond their attack range.
They had no idea which of the remaining four was real.
By now, Fifth Sister’s group and the purple-robed old man’s subordinates had caught up.
“You chase that way, I’ll go this way,” the purple-robed old man ordered his men to pursue one direction while he chased another alone.
“Junior Sister, you chase that way, I’ll take this one,” the white-robed man instructed, selecting a direction and speeding off.
Meanwhile, the real Lin Yun had changed course, pushing his inner force to the limit, fleeing towards the Heavenly Fire Temple at full speed.
At the Dominion realm’s maximum speed, his flight was incredibly fast.
Lin Yun also activated the Ultimate Dragon Art, converting his inner force into stronger dragon energy to boost his speed further.
After fleeing for some time, he sensed pursuers closing in from behind.
It was the white-robed man.
As a Heavenly Saint, his speed advantage was undeniable.
“Bad luck, it’s him chasing this direction,” Lin Yun muttered helplessly.
If the white-robed man and the purple-robed old man had chased his decoys, he could have escaped entirely.
But his decoys had shaken off the other pursuers, leaving only the white-robed man. Lin Yun wasn’t overly worried.
Due to the speed difference, the gap between them gradually narrowed.
After some time, the white-robed man shouted, “Die.”
Seeing he was close enough to attack, he unleashed a palm strike. Surging inner force poured from his palm, streaking across the sky and hitting Lin Yun.
Boom.
A deafening roar accompanied the explosion of power, with dazzling light bursting forth.
Yet Lin Yun’s figure emerged from the light, still charging forward.
Though he looked battered, the attack’s damage was negligible to him.
Lin Yun continued racing ahead at full speed.
“Damn it, damn it,” the white-robed man cursed, chasing furiously.
He couldn’t fathom how a Dominion realm cultivator could withstand such attacks.
Normally, a Dominion realm cultivator daring to compete would be obliterated by his powerful strikes.
Fleeing, Lin Yun glanced back at the white-robed man. “Friend, the Mysterious Heaven Fruit is mine now. You’ve lost your chance to take it. How about a deal? I’ll tell you a secret if you stop chasing.”
“You little pest, trying to trick me? A Dominion realm cultivator thinks he can bargain with me?” the white-robed man roared.
“Why not? I’m only Dominion realm, but your attacks can only injure me, and I’m not fighting you. You can’t defeat me outright. If I’m determined to escape, you have no chance,” Lin Yun said confidently.
“It’s not up to you to decide if I have a chance. If you don’t hand over the Mysterious Heaven Fruit, I won’t let you go,” the white-robed man bellowed.
“Friend, hear my secret first. Your Junior Sister, Fifth Sister, is involved with that guy named Weng Jian. She’s betrayed you. I’m telling you this out of kindness,” Lin Yun said.
His words ignited the white-robed man’s fury.
“You dare slander my Junior Sister? I’ll skin you alive,” he roared, his killing intent surging.
“What, you don’t believe me?” Lin Yun countered.
“My Junior Sister and I share a deep bond. You think a stranger’s words can sway me? What a joke,” the white-robed man thundered.
“Pathetic. You’ve been betrayed and still defend her. As a man, I hate to see you deceived forever. I learned this through my divine sense, just like I learned about the Mysterious Heaven Fruit from your Junior Sister’s group,” Lin Yun sighed.
He then recounted the inn they stayed at a few days ago, including Fifth Sister’s room location.
Lin Yun even repeated, word for word, the conversation between the white-robed man and Fifth Sister at the inn, proving he had indeed overheard everything.
“Also, from your Junior Sister’s chats with that guy, I learned something else. She said she’s only with you for your strength, using you as a free enforcer. She called you a cultivation-obsessed blockhead,” Lin Yun added.
