This time, entering the border mountains undoubtedly meant heading to more dangerous areas to hunt higher-level demons.
In other words, they were going to a more advanced battlefield.
Naturally, the dangers would be significantly greater.
Even Lin Yun couldn’t guarantee absolute safety.
Before long, the three entered the border mountains, with Lin Yun leading them straight to the battlefield suited for the Heaven-Passing Realm.
In this outer layer, Lin Yun wasn’t concerned. Both the demons and human teams in the outer layer were child’s play to him now.
“Hm? It seems we have a tail!” Lin Yun frowned, halting his steps and turning around.
Sure enough, a group of people appeared in his line of sight.
Lin Yun looked closely and recognised a few familiar figures among them.
It was the man in the brocade robe who had once pursued him, along with the old man named Elder Li, a Heaven-Passing Realm cultivator, and others.
Besides them, there were also a few unfamiliar figures behind the brocade-robed man.
“What a coincidence, running into you lot right after arriving,” Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
“Kid, this is no coincidence. I’ve been waiting for you in Demon Control City to settle old scores. You’ll pay for everything you’ve done!” the brocade-robed man said with a menacing grin.
Back then, Lin Yun had held him hostage to escape and even forced him to kneel and beg. That humiliation was something the brocade-robed man could never swallow.
“Are you so confident you can kill me?” Lin Yun asked, still smiling.
“Haha, forget that Heaven-Passing Realm guy who protected you last time. Even if he were here, it wouldn’t matter. I’ve brought two more Heaven-Passing Realm cultivators. With three behind me now, you’re doomed!” the brocade-robed man laughed.
“Do you know that I’m not the same as before? Since you’ve delivered yourself to me, the one who’s doomed is you,” Lin Yun said with a cold smile.
The last time Lin Yun was in the border mountains, encountering this group meant finding a way to escape, which was difficult since they had a Heaven-Passing Realm cultivator who could easily overpower him.
Later, during the fight for the Blood Demon Flower, Lin Yun ran into them again. If not for Wu Chengtian’s protection and their focus on the flower, Lin Yun might have fallen to them then.
Back then, Lin Yun was powerless against them, his resistance utterly futile.
But now, things were entirely different.
“Hmph, still shamelessly boasting on the brink of death. Uncle Li, go kill him!” the brocade-robed man said, his face twisted with malice.
“Alright!”
The old man called Uncle Li stepped forward, drawing his war blade. The aura of a First-Order Heaven-Passing Realm swept out, and he slashed fiercely at Lin Yun.
Rip!
The blade tore through the air, flashing towards Lin Yun like lightning.
“Last time, you were like a mountain in my eyes. Pity, now you’re just an ant,” Lin Yun said, shaking his head with a smile.
He extended his hand, revealing his own war blade. The aura of a First-Order Heaven-Passing Realm surged, his inner energy erupting as his power exploded. With a single sword strike, he met the attack head-on!
“Hm? He’s reached the First-Order Heaven-Passing Realm too?” Elder Li’s face showed surprise as he sensed Lin Yun’s aura. Their attacks collided in an instant.
Boom!
The clash of blade and sword sent shockwaves rippling outward.
Lin Yun’s sword strike erupted like a volcano, overwhelming Elder Li with its sheer force.
“Pfft!”
Elder Li’s eyes widened in shock, blood spraying from his mouth as he was sent flying, crashing to the ground in front of the brocade-robed man and his group, leaving a crater.
“How is this possible! How!” Elder Li, sprawled on the ground, was utterly stunned.
Even if Lin Yun had stepped into the Heaven-Passing Realm, he was just a newly advanced First-Order cultivator. Yet the terrifying power in that sword strike was beyond comprehension!
