“Damn it!”
After the elf elder condensed the massive palm print, he indeed hesitated to launch it. He glared ahead and cursed furiously.
Lin Yun and Cang Chen were far too close. It made landing that attack extremely difficult.
The next moment, the elder dispersed the huge palm print.
“Brat, do you really think this trick leaves me helpless? Today, you will die without fail!” the elder thundered.
With those words, he shot forward like a bolt, charging straight into the battlefield.
As he closed in, the elder swung his palm. Divine sense surged and wrapped around his hand. He struck at Lin Yun with overwhelming force.
He, too, had chosen to engage in close combat.
Although melee was not the elves’ forte, he had no other choice now.
“Not good!”
Feeling the elder approaching from behind, Lin Yun inwardly groaned.
Even if elven experts were weaker in close quarters, this was still a third-step apex powerhouse.
Once the elder got close and attacked from the rear, Lin Yun would be caught between two fronts.
The elder’s palm whipped up terrifying ripples, about to smash into Lin Yun’s back.
Facing the strike, Lin Yun had no option but to spin around swiftly and meet it with his sword.
Bang!
The collision erupted, sending shockwaves through the surrounding space and whipping up ferocious gusts like giant waves.
“Pfft!”
Blood sprayed from Lin Yun’s mouth as he was hurled backwards.
Even in melee, the elder’s attack inflicted grievous wounds.
If the elder had used a ranged attack instead, a single blow might have stripped Lin Yun of all fighting strength. His injuries would have been far worse. The gap was simply too great.
While Lin Yun blocked the strike, Cang Chen seized the chance to retreat rapidly and open up distance.
He truly had been frightened by Lin Yun’s tactics and sheer madness, terrified that this lunatic would drag him down even in death.
“Brat, let us see what you do now! Let us see what other tricks you can pull!” the elder boomed, his tone razor-sharp.
By this point, Lin Yun had steadied himself, but the injuries inside his body were severe. His organs were ruptured, and waves of agony exploded within him.
“Even if I die, I’ll make sure you don’t get off easy!” Lin Yun wiped the blood from his lips. The look in his dark eyes grew even more frenzied.
Against two apex elven experts, Lin Yun had already done everything he could.
Forcing the elder to intervene personally was no small feat.
Now that Cang Chen had created distance, Lin Yun had no moves left.
Since defeat was certain, he stopped overthinking.
If his life was about to end, he would cast aside all hesitation and unleash one final frenzy!
The elder once again surged his divine sense, preparing a direct ranged attack now that Cang Chen was clear and he had no more concerns.
“Cang Chen! Elder Luo You! What on earth are you doing!”
Just as the elder began to unleash his attack, a sharp shout rang out from beyond the spatial lockdown.
Hearing the voice, Lin Yun immediately looked towards its source.
Twenty kilometres away in the sky floated three elven figures.
Among them was a graceful, breathtakingly beautiful female elf.
Lin Yun recognised her instantly. It was Zi Tong!
“Zi… Zi Tong!”
The moment he saw her, light burst into Lin Yun’s eyes.
In that instant, amidst utter despair, he glimpsed hope, like a beam of light piercing the darkness!
Cang Chen and the elder blanched the moment they saw Zi Tong.
Zi Tong, of course, had also seen Lin Yun.
She was stunned. She never imagined she would encounter Lin Yun on the outskirts of Heavenly Sacred City!
But what shocked her even more was that Cang Chen and the elder were trying to kill him!
“Both of you, stop right now! Release the spatial lockdown immediately!” Zi Tong cried out in fury.
“Lady Zi Tong, a human has trespassed on elven territory. We are simply carrying out elven law by executing him. Please stay back, milady, so you do not get hurt,” the elder explained.
“I said release the spatial lockdown! If either of you dares harm him one bit more, I will fight you to the death!” Zi Tong roared, livid.
“This… yes, milady.”
Hearing her words, the elder could only comply and lift the lockdown.
The instant the barrier vanished, Zi Tong shot forward. The two elven experts following her swiftly kept pace.
