Boom!
With a deafening roar, Lin Yun blocked Shu Zhen’s attack once again.
“Damn it, you! How could you block that!” Shu Zhen’s face turned ashen.
Ever since he learned that Lin Yun had killed Lie Wuyan and another, he knew Lin Yun was formidable.
But he was, after all, a Third Layer Heaven Realm cultivator. He believed he could handle Lin Yun, yet Lin Yun blocked his attack unscathed!
The commotion drew the attention of more death warriors.
With the battle already half over and most of Thunder Manor’s forces dead, many death warriors were now idle.
“Shu Zhen, I’m protecting him today, and I’m defying orders!” Lin Yun roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Since arriving here, Lin Yun’s emotions had been heavily suppressed, held in check.
This incident became the spark, igniting the rage he could no longer contain, erupting explosively!
Follow his heart or pursue gain at the cost of his conscience?
Lin Yun chose the former!
This choice was excruciating, but no matter the consequences, Lin Yun had no regrets!
“Lin Yun, how bold you are. As a death warrior, your actions and words are enough to destroy you completely. Excellent! Excellent!” Shu Zhen laughed instead of raging.
Lin Yun was finished!
The scene stunned Mo Bai and Guang Tiancheng.
They knew full well the severity of Lin Yun’s actions!
“Lin Yun, kill the man beside you now!” Huo Zhen shouted at Lin Yun.
“Lin Yun, what are you doing?” Guang Tiancheng roared, charging over.
“Lin Yun, step aside. Let me handle this!” Guang Tiancheng raised his long spear, aiming to kill Wu Shen.
Guang Tiancheng knew this all stemmed from Wu Shen. If he killed Wu Shen, there might still be a chance to resolve Lin Yun’s predicament.
Lin Yun immediately stepped in front of Wu Shen.
“Commander Guang, I’m sorry, but if you want to kill my friend, I’ll have to fight you!” Lin Yun gripped his sword tightly.
“You…” Guang Tiancheng’s expression shifted.
Shu Zhen laughed, “Commander Guang, it seems your subordinate is rebelling even against you. How interesting!”
“Lin Yun…”
Behind Lin Yun, Wu Shen opened his eyes, staring at Lin Yun in shock.
Lin Yun’s actions deeply moved Wu Shen’s heart.
Though he didn’t understand the Heavenly Fire Temple’s rules, he knew Lin Yun was defying them, which would bring him immense trouble.
And it was for his sake.
“Wu Shen, I’m not pretending. I joined the Heavenly Fire Temple for reasons I can’t explain, for my own struggles.” Lin Yun said.
With firm resolve, he continued, “But no matter what, I’ll protect you with my life today, unless I fall dead!”
“Lin Yun, I’m sorry. Perhaps I… I misunderstood you.” Wu Shen’s eyes reddened.
“No time for that now. I’ll cover your retreat. We’re leaving!” Lin Yun gritted his teeth.
With that, Lin Yun pulled Wu Shen back.
“Lin Yun, do you really think you can protect him today?” Shu Zhen sneered.
As he spoke, Shu Zhen’s Third Layer Heaven Realm aura erupted again.
“Die, Lin Yun!”
“Blade Slashes the Flood!”
Roaring with a crazed expression, Shu Zhen slashed, his blade transforming into a torrential flood, surging toward Lin Yun with unmatched momentum!
For Shu Zhen, he could finally kill Lin Yun openly and justifiably.
“That’s Commander Shu Zhen’s signature blade technique!”
“Commander Shu Zhen is Third Layer Heaven Realm, and he’s using his ferocious signature attack. How can Lin Yun withstand it?”
The watching death warriors exclaimed.
Huo Zhen and Guang Tiancheng grew tense. They knew Lin Yun was strong, but this was a two-realm gap, and Shu Zhen was a seasoned Heaven Realm commander.
Wu Shen, seeing the attack, worried for Lin Yun.
“Lin Yun, forget about me. He’s Third Layer Heaven Realm. You can’t win! Kill me instead to save yourself. I won’t blame you!” Wu Shen urged anxiously.
“Kill a friend to save myself? Wu Shen, do you think I’m that kind of person?” Lin Yun replied.
As he spoke, wielding a True Saint Artifact, Lin Yun unleashed his inner energy, divine sense, physical strength, Dragon Art, Dragon Claw, and Dragon Emperor Bone, slashing forward with a sword.
Lin Yun knew he was two realms below Shu Zhen, and with such a powerful attack, he had to go all out!
The higher the realm, the greater the gap, even between minor stages.
Boom!
The clash of blade and sword sent shockwaves exploding outward, the immense force scattering in all directions!
“He blocked it, and Lin Yun is unharmed?”
“Lin Yun is incredible!”
The watching Heavenly Fire Temple death warriors gasped in awe.
A First Layer Heaven Realm cultivator holding his own against a Third Layer was astonishing.
Shu Zhen was equally shocked. He had used his signature blade technique!
“Damn it, let’s see how long you can hold out!”
Shu Zhen roared, unleashing an even fiercer attack, incorporating various techniques. His warblade swept forward like a flood once more.
Boom, boom, boom!
Explosive clashes erupted, blade and sword light flashing, neither gaining the upper hand, the intensity leaving onlookers in awe.
“This guy can fight Shu Zhen evenly. Even I might struggle against him,” Commander Guang Tiancheng marveled.
“He’s too strong!” Lieutenant A Yu muttered in awe.
“Lin Yun is this powerful?” Wu Shen watched in stunned disbelief.
Back in the Border Mountains, Lin Yun’s strength was impressive but nowhere near this level!
Lin Yun’s growth rate shocked Wu Shen.
In the battlefield.
“Shu Zhen, it seems you can’t handle me. Third Layer Heaven Realm is just an empty title.” Lin Yun sneered.
“Damn it!”
“Cangxuan Secret Scripture, Third Layer Cangxuan!”
Light surged across Shu Zhen’s body, his aura rising.
“So you’ve practiced the Cangxuan Secret Scripture too. I have it as well!”
“Cangxuan Secret Scripture, Fifth Layer Cangxuan!”
Light flared across Lin Yun’s body, his aura surging even higher than Shu Zhen’s!
“What? Fifth… Fifth Layer Cangxuan?” Shu Zhen’s pupils contracted, his heart roiling with shock.
“Fifth Layer Cangxuan?”
Many Heavenly Fire Temple death warriors stared wide-eyed in disbelief!
