The Heaven-Shattering Bead shot forward and detonated with a deafening roar.
BOOM!!!!!
An earth-shattering surge of destructive power erupted from the bead. Blinding light stretched for thousands of metres, dimming the very heavens. The terrifying energy tore through space and swept outwards like a tsunami, instantly engulfing more than thirty beastman elites.
When the explosion faded, several beastmen had been blasted to death and were plummeting downwards. The rest were covered in blood, their injuries ranging from light to severe.
Lin Yun charged forward at full power. Sword rain flashed past and instantly cut down several of the more gravely wounded beastmen.
After dispatching those heavily injured foes, he raced towards Zou Dongsheng.
By the time Lin Yun reached him, Zou Dongsheng had been smashed backwards again, coughing up blood.
Lin Yun caught him from behind as he staggered.
Zou Dongsheng’s robes were now soaked crimson with the blood he had vomited. His injuries were clearly serious, and his combat strength had dropped sharply. If this continued, a single fatal opening could cost him his life.
“Zou Dongsheng, fall back and protect Master Hong Yuan. I will hold this beastman off,” Lin Yun shouted.
“No, Young Master! He is too strong. Even with my higher body cultivation I cannot withstand him. You will never hold!” Zou Dongsheng protested, blood filling his mouth.
“There is no time to argue. If you do not go now, the formation Master Hong Yuan is building will be disrupted!”
With that, Lin Yun shoved Zou Dongsheng away.
He knew Zou Dongsheng was already in a critical state. If the fight dragged on, Zou Dongsheng would die.
Lin Yun himself was still in peak condition and could buy some time.
Yao Tai was already swinging his millstone-sized fist again. Terrifying force bore down like a collapsing mountain.
Lin Yun exploded forward with maximum speed, unleashing every technique without reservation. His sword slashed out with ferocious power.
Seeing this, Zou Dongsheng had no choice but to rush back towards Hong Yuan and shield him.
Although Lin Yun had just killed and wounded a number of beastmen, those had only been part of the group besieging Hong Yuan. The rest were already renewing their assault. If Zou Dongsheng did not return at once, Dong Jian alone could not hold them all back.
If Hong Yuan were interrupted, their only chance of escape would vanish.
Lin Yun’s sword rain collided with that horrifying fist.
In that instant, a frightful wave of force surged through his blade like a tidal wave and slammed into his body.
Lin Yun was sent flying backwards, his expression changing abruptly. The impact churned painfully inside him.
Bear in mind that part of the force had already been neutralised by Lin Yun’s own attack. More had been absorbed by his Great Luo divine weapon, and he was also wearing the Great Luo Golden Armour he had bought at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, which further reduced the damage.
Even with all those layers of protection, the blow still left him in agony. One could only imagine how terrifying Yao Tai truly was.
Before Lin Yun could steady himself, Yao Tai’s next punch was already hurtling towards him with unstoppable momentum.
“Brat! You killed and wounded my best warriors, and now you dare stand before me? Today I will rip you to pieces!” Yao Tai bellowed.
He had clearly witnessed Lin Yun using the Heaven-Shattering Bead to slaughter his subordinates.
Every beastman he had brought today was an elite of the Water Wolf Tribe. Losing them pained him deeply.
Facing Yao Tai’s fury, Lin Yun could only swing his sword and meet the attack head-on.
BOOM!
The massive fist smashed into his sword light again. The impact rang out like thunder and sent Lin Yun reeling once more.
Yao Tai pressed his advantage, pursuing the retreating Lin Yun. Terrifying power erupted from him like a volcano as he hammered down blow after blow in a relentless storm.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Attack after attack clashed violently. Each collision twisted the surrounding space and sent out rippling shockwaves.
Pfft!
After blocking several consecutive punches, Lin Yun finally spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, his footing grew unsteady, and his internal organs began to bleed. The pain was excruciating.
