“Since you dare to meddle, we’ll kill you too! One more prey is not a bad thing!” Another fourth-tier demon approached, eyeing Lin Yun as a target.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Lin Yun’s four teammates swiftly dashed out, joining the battlefield.
“Who’s the prey now is hard to say!” Captain Zhou Bocheng declared.
“Attack!”
As Lin Yun spoke, he unleashed a surge of internal energy.
Transformed by the Ultimate Dragon Technique, the energy roared forth, infusing his sword, which gleamed brightly, a golden dragon coiling around it.
Lin Yun slashed out, his spiritual sense and indestructible physical strength amplifying the strike.
His four teammates also sprang into action, charging at the other three demons.
Boom boom boom!
The battle erupted, shockwaves from the clashes exploding outward.
The fifth-tier demon Lin Yun targeted saw his attack coming and swung its palm, launching a red-black orb with a distorted form, hurtling toward Lin Yun.
Boom!
Lin Yun’s sword struck the orb, making it tremble before shattering.
“Damn it!”
The fifth-tier demon, seeing its attack so easily broken, realised this Initial Saint was far stronger than the one it had faced before.
“You’re my prey!”
After shattering the attack, Lin Yun shouted, his sword slashing toward the fifth-tier demon.
The demon clapped its palms together, energy from its demon crystal surging wildly, forming another red-black orb between its palms, far more powerful than before.
“An Initial Saint dares to challenge me? Dream on! Today, you’re the one who dies!”
“Die!”
With those words, the demon thrust its palms forward.
The red-black orb shot out, expanding rapidly in mid-air at a visible speed, like a moon crashing toward Lin Yun.
“This is supposed to kill me?”
Lin Yun sneered, his arm instantly covered in dragon scales, a terrifying wave of energy surging from his palm into the sword.
His dragon bone glowed, radiating a powerful force.
Cloud-Piercing Strike!
The power of Lin Yun’s sword soared instantly.
Boom!
The massive orb was shattered by a single strike!
“You’re the one who dies!”
Lin Yun charged through the broken orb, his sword brimming with devastating power, slashing at the fifth-tier demon.
The demon, horrified, conjured a massive black orb barrier as a shield.
Boom!
The sword’s tip struck the barrier, cracks forming instantly, spreading rapidly until the barrier shattered with a loud crash.
The remaining force of the strike sent the fifth-tier demon flying, crashing heavily into the distance.
A fifth-tier demon, equivalent to a human Mysterious Saint, was no match for Lin Yun.
Without pause, Lin Yun rushed toward the fallen demon, slaying it with one strike!
Pfft!
His sword pierced the demon’s skull, killing it instantly.
Lin Yun sliced open the skull, extracting the demon crystal.
The battle nearby raged on, with Lin Yun’s four teammates and the other Mysterious Saint, five in total, overpowering the three remaining demons.
With Lin Yun joining, the battle became even more one-sided.
Six against three demons, one fifth-tier and two fourth-tier, they were slain in moments.
This was the advantage of teamwork.
If Lin Yun had faced all four demons alone, it would have been quite challenging.
The three demons’ crystals were also collected.
“Haha, four demons in one go, what a thrill!” Zhou Bocheng laughed.
Since entering the mountains, they had only killed six demons before this, so these four were a significant haul.
The two rescued cultivators were overjoyed.
“Brother!” The Mysterious Saint rushed to support the Initial Saint.
“Brother, we’re saved!” the Initial Saint said, elated.
“Thanks to these five friends who helped us, or we’d be dead,” the Mysterious Saint said gratefully.
They turned to Lin Yun’s group.
“Fellow cultivators, my brother and I thank you for saving our lives!” They bowed in gratitude.
“Haha, no need for thanks, we were just hunting demons and helped in passing,” Captain Zhou Bocheng said with a smile.
The Initial Saint, supported by his brother, turned to Lin Yun.
“Fellow cultivator, thank you, I’ll never forget your life-saving grace!” He bowed to Lin Yun.
It was Lin Yun who had rushed out first, blocking the attack meant to kill him.
“As my captain said, I was just hunting demons and helped in passing, no need for thanks,” Lin Yun said calmly.
“What a touching scene, who would’ve thought such a heroic act of justice could happen in this border mountain range.”
A loud voice echoed from the distant jungle.
“Who’s there!”
Everyone turned toward the sound.
A large group emerged, over a dozen people.
In this border, a hunting team of over a dozen was considered large.
Normally, teams weren’t this big, as splitting spoils became difficult.
Seeing so many, Lin Yun felt uneasy.
Before setting out, the middle-aged man who brought them here had warned them to beware not only of demons but also of other hunting teams.
The dangers of the border weren’t just from demons.
Black-on-black conflicts were common here.
Not just Lin Yun, his four teammates also grew wary, grouping closer together.
“Fellow cultivators, we’ve dealt with the demons here, please look elsewhere, we need to move on,” Lin Yun said to them.
