“Lin Yun, we have no choice but to fight!” Wu Tiancheng said through gritted teeth.
Those who came to hunt demons in the Border Mountains had to be prepared to die.
With no way out, no options left, they could only fight desperately.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the sky, sending out intense shockwaves.
The vibrations shook the heavens and the earth, trembling through space itself.
“What’s happening?” Lin Yun was stunned by the commotion.
Even the dozens of demons about to attack Lin Yun were drawn to the noise, halting instantly and turning to look at the source of the disturbance in the distant sky.
Lin Yun quickly followed their gaze.
The disturbance came from where the demon horde was in the air.
As Lin Yun looked, he saw many demons at the front of the horde plummeting from the sky, clearly struck by a powerful attack.
“What… what’s going on?” Lin Yun muttered in shock.
To confront the demon horde directly, what kind of formidable existence could it be?
Logically, no cultivator hunting demons in the Border Mountains should possess such power.
The next moment, Lin Yun saw the demon horde turn around and flee back the way they came.
Boom! Boom!
More tremendous shockwaves followed, each one shaking the heavens and earth. Lin Yun felt his heart race just sensing them.
With each shockwave, countless demons fell from the sky, clearly dead.
After two successive shockwaves, the fleeing demon horde reached the airspace above Lin Yun, once again blotting out the sky and plunging the world into darkness.
As the horde passed, Lin Yun finally saw the situation clearly.
A middle-aged man in a white robe, wielding a sword, was chasing the demon horde, launching attacks against them.
The aura he released was utterly terrifying.
“That… that’s a Supreme!” Wu Tiancheng exclaimed.
“A Supreme?” Lin Yun froze.
This was the second time he had heard the term, but the first time he had seen one.
A Supreme, a being at the pinnacle of this world, the kind of figure who presided over forces like the Fire Cloud Holy Palace.
The dozens of demons that had been about to attack Lin Yun, seeing this, abandoned their assault and immediately took flight, fleeing back towards the mountain depths.
As the demon horde passed over Lin Yun’s head, the Supreme also sped by overhead, slashing out with his sword from a distance.
Rip!
Lin Yun witnessed a terrifying sword beam rapidly expand in the air, tearing through the void, shaking the heavens, and radiating blinding light. It struck the rear of the demon tide, cutting down a group of demons instantly.
“What a… terrifying attack!” Lin Yun stood frozen, eyes wide, staring at the sky, his heart surging with awe.
Even from a distance, the pressure of that sword strike made him feel suffocated, as if a mountain were pressing on his heart, his legs trembling.
Was this the power of a Supreme? Was this the might of their attack?
The profundity contained in that strike was something Lin Yun couldn’t even comprehend.
Such immense power was something Lin Yun deeply yearned for.
Rip!
The Supreme struck again, his sword beam whistling with dazzling light, hurtling towards the demon horde at astonishing speed.
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderclap split the clear sky.
A massive black-and-red energy orb appeared, smashing towards the sword beam.
Bang!
A deafening explosion rang out, shaking the ears.
The orb and sword beam collided, erupting in a devastating shockwave that swept outward like a tidal wave. Where it passed, space twisted into countless ripples, and all vegetation was instantly obliterated.
The world flickered between light and darkness, resembling an apocalyptic scene.
Whoosh!
As the shockwave passed over Lin Yun, he staggered back several steps.
Wu Tiancheng, standing nearby, turned pale under the force of the wave.
The mere shockwave was already so terrifying.
What shocked Lin Yun even more was that the orb had blocked the Supreme’s sword beam.
The next moment, a massive demon appeared in the air, standing before the Supreme, blocking his path.
Clearly, the black-and-red energy orb had been unleashed by this demon.
The aura it exuded was equally horrifying.
