“Flying Shadow Sword Technique, Sword Rain!”
Inner force strengthened by the Tree of Origin surged instantly into Lin Yun’s treasured sword. His divine sense and physical power also erupted in the same moment. He thrust forward violently, transforming the strike into a storm of sword rain that whipped up ferocious winds and waves. With overwhelming might, it crashed against the towering flames.
Under the terrifying onslaught, the Wu patriarch’s expression changed abruptly. He was forced into continuous retreat.
His strength and defence were indeed somewhat greater than Lin Yun’s opponent from yesterday. That previous foe had fallen instantly to this move, whereas the Wu patriarch, though disadvantaged, at least avoided defeat in a single strike.
“Patriarch!”
All members of the Wu clan felt their hearts leap into their throats upon seeing their leader driven back.
Wu Jun’s face also paled dramatically. He thought to himself, how could this happen? Was this not supposed to be a pushover?
“Wu Patriarch actually fell into a disadvantage right from the first exchange?” Many spectators appeared shocked.
On the arena.
Lin Yun’s assault showed no pause. The treasured sword carried ferocious power as it continued pressing towards the retreating Wu patriarch.
“Boy, the Wu clan is no pushover!”
“Thunder Light Art!”
A powerful fluctuation surged instantly from within the Wu patriarch. His entire body became enveloped in purple thunder light.
Lightning seemed to dance within his arms, as if they had been forged from thunder itself. His aura and strength received a clear boost.
Lin Yun had seen this technique before when fighting Wu Jun in Heart City, but the patriarch had cultivated it to a far higher level, granting much greater enhancement.
“Myriad Flames Convergence!”
The erupting patriarch swung his battle knife. Rolling fierce flames transformed into a gigantic fire dragon that charged towards the oncoming Lin Yun.
“The patriarch has pushed Thunder Light Art to its limit and even used Myriad Flames Convergence. He is going all out. This should turn the situation around, right?”
The Wu clan members grew tense.
Even Manor Lord Wu and his two sons felt anxiety, though theirs was concern for Lin Yun.
On the arena.
Boom!
The two assaults collided.
As the fire dragon clashed with the sword rain, a violent shockwave instantly warped and tore the surrounding space. It whipped up massive winds and waves that slammed against the arena barrier.
With this extreme outburst, the patriarch barely managed to block Lin Yun’s attack.
“If this is your full strength, then it ends now!”
“Flying Shadow Sword Technique, Swift Thunder!”
The treasured sword transformed into a bolt of lightning that lashed viciously towards the patriarch. Its power clearly surpassed the previous sixth form, Sword Rain.
“Damn it, he can still unleash even greater strength!”
The patriarch swung his battle knife again, sweeping up rolling flames that formed another fire dragon to meet the strike. He had no choice now but to fight head-on.
Just as the two assaults were about to collide, six divine veins within Lin Yun erupted instantly. His power surged, causing the might of this sword to explode upwards.
Even without activating the divine veins, Lin Yun would have held the advantage.
However, Lin Yun wanted utter domination.
“What? You can erupt further?!”
Seeing the sword’s power suddenly surge again, the patriarch stared in horror with wide eyes.
In the next instant after Lin Yun activated his divine veins, the attacks clashed head-on once more.
An astonishing shockwave swept in all directions. The patriarch suffered a heavy blow, spewing blood from his mouth as his body flew backwards uncontrollably.
Lin Yun pursued swiftly. Just before the patriarch fell off the arena, he struck with another sword. The patriarch, now powerless to resist, felt the treasured sword pierce directly through his dantian.
Lin Yun withdrew the blade, and the patriarch tumbled off the arena.
For a moment, the entire venue fell silent.
Such ruthless action left many spectators in awe. What grudge, what enmity was this?
“This fellow actually crushed the patriarch of the Wu clan!”
“Even after the patriarch unleashed that level of power, the victory was still so effortless. This man is no ordinary figure!”
“His Taoist title is Bei Chen, right? I truly have never heard of him. He is not from any major force, yet he is this strong, directly crushing the Wu patriarch?”
…
The crowd erupted into heated discussion.
Everyone had initially thought the patriarch had drawn a pushover, only to find in the end that he himself had been treated as one.
