“Still thinking of escaping? Delusional!”
Yao Tai, chief of the Water Wolf Tribe, swiftly unfurled an array chart he had purchased. The moment it opened, a wave of light spread out and instantly sealed the surrounding space.
“A few audacious humans dare trespass on our beastman territory? Then die! None of you will get away!”
After activating the chart, Yao Tai led his Water Wolf tribesmen and charged right up to Lin Yun’s group of four.
“Die!”
Yao Tai swung a fist the size of a millstone. Terrifying power accompanied it, causing space itself to quake, crack, and collapse wherever the fist passed.
“Young Master, I will stop the strongest one!”
The instant Zou Dongsheng finished speaking, he brandished his long spear and shot forward to meet Yao Tai’s attack.
This Yao Tai was the Water Wolf chief; his strength was naturally imaginable.
Zou Dongsheng currently possessed more open divine veins than anyone in the Immeasurable Heavenly Palace. His physical cultivation far surpassed Lin Yun’s, and both his combat strength and bodily toughness were exceptional. He could fight and endure.
“Friend Bei Chen, I will break his array while simultaneously constructing our own. The moment my formation is complete, it can take all of us away, including Mu Li. But I need a little time!” Hong Yuan said.
“Good. Senior Dong Jian, we protect Master Hong Yuan and let him work with full focus,” Lin Yun replied.
“Understood!” Dong Jian nodded at once.
The two of them took positions on either side of Hong Yuan to guard him.
Hong Yuan immediately began constructing the formation.
Boom!
At that moment, Zou Dongsheng, having charged ahead, collided with Yao Tai’s incoming fist. A horrifying shockwave erupted from the impact.
The instant Zou Dongsheng’s spear met that enormous fist, the terrifying force sent him flying backwards.
“They want to break the array and escape together! Stop them! Stop them breaking the array and building their own! I will join you once I finish this human!” Yao Tai roared.
The dozens of beastmen under Yao Tai’s command had already reached Lin Yun, Dong Jian, and Hong Yuan. They swarmed forward in a ferocious assault.
Lin Yun and Dong Jian both drew their treasured swords and swept them horizontally, preventing the enemy from interfering with Hong Yuan’s work.
Boom, boom, boom!
Fierce combat exploded in all directions.
These dozens of beastmen were certainly not as strong as Yao Tai, but every one of them was an elite of the Water Wolf Tribe. Combined with their formidable defences, they were far from easy opponents.
“Get lost!”
Lin Yun unleashed his full strength. A single sweeping stroke of his sword forced back more than twenty beastmen charging straight at him.
When Lin Yun went all out, his power was overwhelming.
Without the slightest pause after that strike, his sword turned into a storm of sword rain that blasted towards the remaining beastmen.
While Lin Yun and Dong Jian shielded Hong Yuan, Lin Yun noticed that Zou Dongsheng’s situation was turning grim.
Zou Dongsheng was being hammered backwards repeatedly by Yao Tai, who showed no mercy whatsoever. The millstone-sized fists rained down on Zou Dongsheng like a tempest.
Pfft!
After blocking several consecutive blows with his spear, Zou Dongsheng was struck so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Die!”
“Once I finish you, I will deal with that old man trying to break the array!”
Seeing Zou Dongsheng retreating and coughing blood, Yao Tai grew even more excited. He gave his opponent no chance to breathe and pounced again, smashing his fist down viciously.
The injured Zou Dongsheng had no choice but to meet the attack once more, only to be sent flying again, coughing up more blood. His external and internal injuries were worsening rapidly.
Yao Tai’s strength was comparable to a human Supreme. Of course, beastmen lacked the many auxiliary methods that human Supremes possessed, such as powerful weapons and secret manuals. They relied purely on raw power and defence.
Seeing Zou Dongsheng in peril, Lin Yun naturally wanted to rush to his aid, but he also had to protect Hong Yuan.
Even when repelled, these dozens of beastmen would immediately charge back in. Dong Jian alone could never hold them all off.
If this continued, Zou Dongsheng would fall into ever greater danger.
After repelling another wave of beastmen with a single sword stroke, Lin Yun quickly flipped his hand, produced a small box, and took out the Heaven-Shattering Bead.
This was the item he had bought at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion last time for a full four hundred million.
Lin Yun activated the Heaven-Shattering Bead without hesitation and hurled it straight ahead.
