“Since persuasion is ineffective, let’s try another solution.”
After speaking, Lin Yun immediately channelled his internal energy, preparing to take action.
“What? A mere Initial Saint Realm cultivator, and you think you can resist with force?” the hawk-nosed leader of the opposing group sneered.
Lin Yun had previously used his internal energy to shatter the head of a seventh-tier demon to extract its crystal, so they knew he was only at the Initial Saint Realm.
Lin Yun’s lips curled slightly. “You’re mistaken. It’s not resistance, but a counterattack!”
With those words, his internal energy, channelled through the Ultimate Dragon Art, instantly transformed into a powerful surge of dragon aura.
His treasured sword flashed with golden light, morphing into a golden dragon that roared forth!
Whoosh!
The sword moved effortlessly through the water. Lin Yun’s divine sense, physical strength, and Dragon Emperor Bone erupted in unison, empowering the strike as it surged toward one of the opponents.
The three opponents consisted of one Initial Saint Realm and two Mysterious Saint Realm cultivators.
Lin Yun’s strike targeted the Initial Saint Realm cultivator.
Caught off guard by the ferocity of Lin Yun’s attack, the man hurriedly moved to defend himself.
The sword’s speed was astonishing, reaching its target almost instantly.
Boom!
The collision erupted, and the terrifying power in Lin Yun’s strike overwhelmed the Initial Saint Realm cultivator.
“Pfft!”
The man spat out a mouthful of blood, his body hurtling backward through the water.
Though both were at the Initial Saint Realm, Lin Yun utterly dominated him!
At the same realm, the Indestructible Divine Body and Dragon Emperor Bone alone granted Lin Yun such immense power that he could crush opponents of the same level.
Even in this ancestral land, cultivating and enhancing physical strength was extremely difficult. Though resources here were more abundant, making it somewhat easier than on the cultivation continent, the advantage of the Indestructible Divine Body was undeniable for Lin Yun.
Moreover, with the Frost Heart, a supreme treasure of the Great Kun Clan, Lin Yun’s attacks were unaffected by the water.
“What?”
“So fierce?”
The two Mysterious Saint Realm cultivators were stunned to see Lin Yun overpower their companion with a single move.
“Now it’s your turn!”
Dragon Claw!
Lin Yun’s piercing gaze locked onto the two men. His arm instantly became covered in dragon scales, a terrifying force surging from his palm into the sword.
In its perfect state, the Dragon Claw greatly amplified Lin Yun’s strength, its effect self-evident.
Cloud-Piercing Strike!
With the Dragon Claw activated, Lin Yun’s sword shot forward like a meteor chasing the moon, targeting one of the Mysterious Saint Realm cultivators.
This was nearly Lin Yun’s strongest attack. Facing a Mysterious Saint, he needed to go all out to thoroughly intimidate them!
“Quick, join forces to deal with him!”
The targeted man shouted, swinging his war blade to meet the attack.
“Blood Wave Hand!”
The other man quickly conjured a shadowy blood hand, launching it toward Lin Yun, attempting to force him to halt his attack on the first man to defend against this move.
But Lin Yun ignored the incoming attack, his strike unwavering as his sword surged toward the Mysterious Saint Realm cultivator.
Clang!
The blade and sword collided. The Mysterious Saint Realm cultivator’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief as he was forced backward.
He never expected Lin Yun to disregard his companion’s attack and continue targeting him.
Even more shocking was the sheer power in Lin Yun’s strike.
As Lin Yun forced him back, the other man’s Blood Wave Hand struck Lin Yun.
“Cough, cough!”
After taking the hit, Lin Yun coughed repeatedly, feeling discomfort in his body, but that was the extent of it.
“This… this…”
The two Mysterious Saint Realm cultivators were stunned.
Though their attacks were weakened underwater, the fact that Lin Yun could withstand such a blow with his body and remain largely unscathed was enough to shock them profoundly.
“We’ve met a tough opponent. Retreat now!”
The injured Mysterious Saint Realm cultivator shouted, turning to flee.
Lin Yun didn’t pursue them as they fled.
Driving them off was enough. His priority was to continue collecting spoils.
The weapons used by the three were also of pseudo-Saint grade, so neither side had a particular advantage in weaponry. It ultimately came down to skill.
However, if Lin Yun hadn’t upgraded his weapon to pseudo-Saint grade, he would have been at a disadvantage, which could have hindered him.
During Lin Yun’s fight, more dead demons, and some human cultivators, had fallen into the water.
Lin Yun quickened his pace, rapidly collecting spoils to avoid others snatching them!
On the lake, the battle grew increasingly intense. The intervention of hundreds of demons had turned the fight into complete chaos.
In this situation, besides the fallen cultivators, more and more teams chose to withdraw, abandoning the fight for the Blood Demon Flower. They saw no hope and were intimidated by the meat-grinder-like battlefield.
These withdrawing teams quickly fled, distancing themselves from this place of conflict!
Though the demons had suffered significant losses in the recent clashes, none retreated.
This shifted the battlefield dynamics, with the demons gaining the upper hand in the fight and the struggle for the Blood Demon Flower.
At this moment, the Blood Demon Flower, which had changed hands multiple times, ended up with the Transcendent Realm elder, Old Li.
The area was shrouded in black mist created by the demons, sealing off the space and preventing teleportation.
“Protect my retreat!” he shouted to the guards he led.
He tried to escape under their cover, but the guards, caught in the battlefield, were powerless to assist or hold back the onslaught.
In this situation, Old Li, the Transcendent Realm elder, was instantly bombarded with countless attacks, completely surrounded with no path to escape.
“Pfft!”
Under relentless assault, Old Li, after continuous resistance, spat out a mouthful of blood and was forced to throw away the Blood Demon Flower.
By discarding it, he could shift everyone’s focus. With his Transcendent Realm strength, he could still protect himself in this chaotic battlefield.
But trying to seize the Blood Demon Flower by force in this situation was untenable, even for a Transcendent Realm expert, especially with so many demon attacks!
“Retreat!”
Injured, Old Li could only withdraw from the central area, returning to the shore.
“Young master, there are too many demons. We likely can’t seize the Blood Demon Flower. Let’s retreat. Most human teams are fleeing now. If we don’t leave soon, once the majority of human teams are gone, the demons will target us, and we’ll be in great danger,” Old Li said helplessly, nursing his injuries.
