“Pfft!”
Elder Lu spat out a mouthful of blood. With an expression of utter disbelief, his whole body flew backwards uncontrollably and crashed straight off the arena.
The disciples below hurriedly scattered. With a heavy thud, Elder Lu slammed into the ground beneath the stage, cracking the floor and making the entire square tremble.
“Elder Lu… lost?”
“This… this…”
For a moment, all the Double Honour Pavilion disciples present were stunned into silence.
Not only had Elder Lu lost, he had been utterly crushed despite giving his all. This proved that his opponent’s strength completely surpassed his own!
When they looked again at the young figure standing on the arena, their eyes were filled with shock.
“Brother Bei Chen is actually this strong?”
Even Yuan Xia stared at Lin Yun on the stage in astonishment.
Although last time at the Land of the Fallen, he had personally witnessed Lin Yun, at the third level of Heaven Connecting Realm, fight an elder of the Nether Palace to a standstill.
But back then, Lin Yun had enjoyed a massive weapon advantage, and that Nether Palace elder’s foundation was nowhere near Elder Lu’s.
This time, the techniques Lin Yun displayed were far more astonishing than before!
To overwhelmingly defeat an opponent of the same realm, and an elder from a major force like the Double Honour Pavilion no less, such a feat was extraordinarily dazzling and exaggerated.
“As expected, very powerful.”
Lin Yun quietly clicked his tongue in approval.
He had not even used all his methods. Techniques like Divine Dragon Claw and Dragon Emperor Bone had not been employed at all.
He had simply wanted to test the effects of the Tree of Origin and the Origin Heart. The moment he activated the amplifying power of the second Origin Heart, combined with the strength of his four divine meridians, he directly injured Elder Lu and sent him flying off the stage.
Below the arena.
The injured Elder Lu struggled to his feet.
His wounds were not actually severe, since Lin Yun had not followed up with further attacks.
But covered in dust, his robes stained with blood, he looked utterly wretched.
For Elder Lu, an elder of the Double Honour Pavilion, to be so thoroughly defeated by an outsider of the same realm in front of so many pavilion disciples, his pride could no longer be salvaged.
“You… you…”
When Elder Lu looked up at Lin Yun again, his face was hideous with rage, his eyes blazing.
He had never imagined he would lose to such a young brat!
“Elder Lu, my apologies. I suggested ending it earlier, but once it reached that point, I couldn’t hold back.” Lin Yun said.
“You little bastard! Today I will flay you alive!” Elder Lu roared in fury, looking as though he had no intention of letting matters rest. He prepared to charge back onto the stage.
“Elder Lu, what do you think you’re doing?”
Yuan Xia immediately stepped forward and blocked his path.
“Elder Lu, you lost the arena duel fair and square. If you’re inferior, accept it. So many disciples are watching. If you can’t take the loss, be careful you become a laughing stock in the Double Honour Pavilion from now on!” Yuan Xia declared coldly.
“Yuan Xia, I think you’re deliberately bringing someone here to cause trouble in the pavilion! What are your true intentions!” Elder Lu bellowed, veins bulging on his neck.
“Elder Lu, you were the one who initiated the spar, and now you’re turning the tables and slandering others? Haven’t you lost enough face already? If you still want to fight, I, Yuan Xia, will gladly oblige!” Yuan Xia retorted just as sharply.
Yuan Xia knew full well that Elder Lu had originally challenged Lin Yun because of the grudge between them.
Now that the duel was over and Elder Lu was still acting so aggressively, Yuan Xia was naturally furious.
Seeing the situation, Lin Yun frowned slightly.
He had been unwilling to spar with Elder Lu from the start precisely because he did not want things to develop like this.
He knew that if Yuan Xia were not holding Elder Lu back right now, the man would already have charged back onto the stage to continue fighting him.
At this moment, the two elders were on the verge of coming to blows.
“Enough!”
Just as tensions reached breaking point, a resounding voice boomed across the entire square.
Lin Yun looked up. A figure instantly flashed from the distance and appeared in the air above the arena.
“It’s the Pavilion Master.”
“Greetings, Pavilion Master!”
All the disciples of the Double Honour Pavilion present immediately knelt in salute.
“The Pavilion Master?”
Lin Yun was startled. Could this be one of the Pavilion Masters of the Double Honour Pavilion?
That would make him a Supreme powerhouse, then.
Lin Yun had never expected that his visit to the Double Honour Pavilion would actually draw out one of its Pavilion Masters.
