Many death warriors knew of the Cangxuan Secret Scripture and were well aware of its immense cultivation difficulty.
Achieving the Fifth Layer of Cangxuan was something they didn’t even dare to dream of!
Even Shu Zhen could only barely reach the Third Layer.
“This guy is just too terrifying…” Lieutenant A Yu smacked his lips.
Though Guang Tiancheng said nothing, he couldn’t help but admire Lin Yun’s ability to cultivate the Cangxuan Secret Scripture to such a level, something even he couldn’t match!
Lin Yun’s clash with Shu Zhen once again reshaped Guang Tiancheng’s view of him!
Boom, boom, boom!
The battle erupted anew. After both unleashed their full power, Shu Zhen, a Third Layer Heaven Realm cultivator, couldn’t gain the slightest advantage over Lin Yun.
Of course, it was nearly impossible for Lin Yun to truly defeat Shu Zhen.
To beat Shu Zhen, Lin Yun would need strength far surpassing his, which Lin Yun clearly didn’t have yet.
Likewise, Shu Zhen defeating Lin Yun was even less feasible.
The fight was intensely stalemated, with Lin Yun faintly pressuring Shu Zhen.
“Shu Zhen, you’re destined to never defeat me!” Lin Yun said, relentlessly unleashing attacks that surged toward Shu Zhen.
Shu Zhen’s face darkened. He had initially thought that by catching Lin Yun’s misstep, he could easily kill him. He never considered he might not be Lin Yun’s match.
“Lin Yun, even if I can’t kill you now, do you think you’ll survive? Your actions today have sealed your doom! You’re finished!”
With a ferocious expression, Shu Zhen continued, “And didn’t you want to protect that bastard behind you? Well, I’ll make sure he dies without a grave right in front of you! I’ll make you watch him die, powerless to stop it! I’ll make you feel despair and pain!”
Boom!
After another fierce clash, Shu Zhen roared, “All Dark Fire Army lieutenants, listen up! Kill the man behind Lin Yun!”
“Yes!”
The Dark Fire Army’s death warrior lieutenants responded, charging toward the battlefield from all directions.
“Let’s see who dares!”
“Extinction Heavenly Fire!”
Lin Yun roared, raising his hand as torrents of inner energy poured out, forming a massive fire dragon in front of him, ready to strike anyone who approached.
“This…”
The Dark Fire Army lieutenants halted, hesitant to charge forward.
Having witnessed Lin Yun’s formidable strength, these Saint Realm lieutenants knew they couldn’t withstand such an attack.
“What are you all standing there for? I’ll block his attack. Charge!” Shu Zhen shouted at the Dark Fire Army lieutenants.
“Yes!”
The lieutenants responded again, rushing forward.
Boom!
The fire dragon surged toward the leading Dark Fire Army lieutenant.
Shu Zhen erupted swiftly, his warblade transforming into a radiant wave, intercepting the fire dragon.
Clang!
With a loud crash, the Extinction Heavenly Fire Lin Yun unleashed was blocked by Shu Zhen’s attack.
Simultaneously, Shu Zhen flashed forward, his warblade sweeping up a massive wave, slashing fiercely at Lin Yun.
Shu Zhen’s goal was simple. While he couldn’t kill Lin Yun, holding him back was no issue.
By fully engaging Lin Yun, his Heavenly Fire Lieutenants could surround and kill Wu Shen.
Lin Yun tried to break free from Shu Zhen to intercept the lieutenants attacking Wu Shen, but Shu Zhen’s relentless assault gave him no chance.
“Lin Yun, now you’ll watch the person you want to protect die before your eyes!” Shu Zhen sneered with a twisted grin.
At that moment, a deep sense of powerlessness surged within Lin Yun.
Even if he wanted to defy fate, to save Wu Shen, his individual strength was ultimately limited, insignificant.
Mo Bai watched the scene, raising his sword but ultimately lowering it, not charging in.
He knew Lin Yun desperately needed help, but he also knew what helping Lin Yun would mean for himself.
“Lin Yun, you should’ve listened.” Mo Bai shook his head with a sigh.
At that moment, the Dark Fire Army’s Heavenly Fire Lieutenants had already launched their attack on Wu Shen.
“Wu Shen, find a way to break out!” Lin Yun roared, veins bulging on his neck.
Though Lin Yun knew it was nearly impossible for Wu Shen to escape, he was doing everything he could to help, but he was powerless.
“Lin Yun, don’t worry about me. I was doomed to die today! To have a brother like you, I, Wu Shen, have no regrets in death!”
Wu Shen swiftly drew his weapon to fight back.
At the Heavenly Saint Realm, Wu Shen was strong among Saint Realm fighters, but against ten Heavenly Fire Lieutenants, he was at a massive disadvantage from the start. Within moments, he sustained several wounds.
At this rate, Wu Shen would soon die under the Dark Fire Army lieutenants’ assault, without question.
“Aaaah!”
Lin Yun roared hysterically, eyes bloodshot, as if possessed, pushing his strength and power to the absolute limit. His attacks overwhelmed Shu Zhen, making him struggle.
Was he really going to watch Wu Shen die before his eyes today?
He was still not strong enough…
“Die!”
A Dark Fire Army Heavenly Fire Lieutenant seized the moment when Wu Shen was injured and exposed by another lieutenant, slashing at him from behind to take his life!
Clang!
Just as the attack was about to land, a flash of cold light intercepted it.
Lin Yun looked and saw Guang Tiancheng!
Guang Tiancheng had rushed to Wu Shen’s side, blocking the fatal strike!
“Commander Guang, what… what are you doing?”
The ten Dark Fire Army Heavenly Fire Lieutenants stared at Guang Tiancheng in shock.
Shu Zhen, locked in combat with Lin Yun, saw his twisted grin freeze.
“Guang Tiancheng, what are you doing?!” Shu Zhen demanded sharply, never expecting Guang Tiancheng to intervene.
Even Lin Yun was stunned. He hadn’t expected Guang Tiancheng to step in.
Logically, Guang Tiancheng should be furious at Lin Yun’s actions, shouldn’t he?
“Shu Zhen, show mercy where you can. Our mission to destroy Thunder Manor is complete once the manor lord and most members are killed. Letting one or two slip away is normal.” Guang Tiancheng said.
His meaning was clear: let Wu Shen go.
