The disciples and elders of the Chasing Wind Sect grew even more excited. With the sect master taking action personally, this fellow who had challenged the authority of their Chasing Wind Sect was certain to die.
“You, the master of the Chasing Wind Sect, since you truly dare to come, then bear the price you deserve.”
Lin Yun stood in place. He flicked a finger. Space erupted with a cracking boom.
Boom.
Ahhh!
The Chasing Wind Sect master, who had charged right up to Lin Yun, let out a shrill, wretched scream. His towering momentum instantly vanished.
Under the incredulous gazes of everyone present, the Chasing Wind Sect master was hurled straight backwards in an instant. He crashed into a building across the street and brought it collapsing down.
Lying in the rubble, the Chasing Wind Sect master felt his life slipping away. His whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Only in this moment did he understand how vast the gap between himself and Lin Yun truly was.
They were simply not on the same level at all.
The scene fell instantly into dead silence.
This was the renowned Tribulation Crossing Realm master of the Chasing Wind Sect, yet he had still been slain with a mere light flick of a finger?
Just what kind of existence was this man?
Wen Jing covered her small mouth, completely stunned.
Why was it that every time she saw Lin Yun act, no matter the opponent’s strength, a single flick of his finger crushed them utterly?
The Qi Grand Commander and the city lord, who had been brimming with confidence, underwent drastic changes of expression. Stormy waves surged in their hearts.
The Chasing Wind Sect master was simply gone, just like that?
The Qi Grand Commander knew very clearly that anyone who could kill a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert with a mere finger flick must have stepped into eternal life.
What terrified him most was that he could not sense Lin Yun’s realm aura at all.
This was too strange. Even when an eternal being acted, one should still be able to detect their aura, surely?
Lin Yun turned his gaze towards the Qi Grand Commander.
Feeling that gaze, every hair on the Qi Grand Commander’s body stood on end.
“Next, it is your turn. Do you strike first, or shall I? Choose for yourself,” Lin Yun said lightly.
“I… I…”
Sweat already beaded on the Qi Grand Commander’s forehead. Cold sweat poured down his back. It was a stark contrast to the powerful presence he had shown earlier.
He knew perfectly well that since Lin Yun could kill the Chasing Wind Sect master with a finger flick, killing him would be just as easy, even if he attacked.
How could he still dare to make a move?
“I give your Sea Wind Empire one final chance. This time, you have five days. The Sea Wind Emperor must come to see me in person. If he still refuses to come, or if he sends others to deal with me instead, then he will bear the consequences himself. Do you understand?”
Though Lin Yun’s voice was not loud, it carried overwhelming deterrence.
The Qi Grand Commander stood frozen in place.
Lin Yun frowned. “Did you not hear me? Do you understand or not!”
“Understood! Understood!” The Qi Grand Commander swallowed nervously and answered involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lin Yun turned away.
“Come, Wen Jing. We are going upstairs.”
With those words, Lin Yun led Wen Jing back into the inn under countless watching eyes.
The Qi Grand Commander stared as Lin Yun entered the inn. He did not dare to utter another word, let alone act against him.
After Lin Yun had gone.
“Qi Grand Commander, this… this…” The city lord’s face looked equally grim.
“Why did you not report his strength clearly!” the Qi Grand Commander scolded angrily.
“I… I truly did not know.” The city lord wore an expression of complete innocence.
“This man must be an eternal being. The matter is extraordinary. Without orders from the empire, do not rashly confront him again. I will report everything to His Majesty at once and leave the decision to him,” the Qi Grand Commander said.
“Yes, yes, yes.” The city lord agreed repeatedly.
The Qi Grand Commander immediately ordered the army to withdraw from the city.
The onlookers, seeing the forces retreat, let out a chorus of sighs and exclamations.
No one had imagined that today, with both the Chasing Wind Sect and the imperial Qi Grand Commander coming to deal with this man, the result would turn out like this.
Inside the inn.
“Big Brother Lin Yun, how… how can you be so powerful? What realm are you exactly? Are you the legendary eternal being?” Wen Jing felt Lin Yun was even more profoundly unfathomable.
Such an imposing array today, yet Lin Yun had resolved it with ease.
Lin Yun glanced back at Wen Jing and smiled faintly. “An eternal being? You could say so.”
After all, anyone who had stepped into eternal life could be called an eternal being.
