Lin Yun smiled and shook his head. “You should know full well that when the three supremes, the Palace Lord of the Nether Palace, the Alliance Lord of the Blood Moon Alliance, and the Hall Lord of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, besieged me, they too were utterly convinced I would die. They were as certain as you are now, full of bold declarations, yet in the end they were simply blinded by the situation in front of them.”
“And you may well be blinded by the current situation too. Are you sure you will not learn from their mistake? The moment you strike, there will be no way back.”
At these words, the corner of the God-Slaying Gate Master’s eye twitched slightly.
He understood perfectly. In the previous situation at Chaos City, no one had believed Lin Yun had any chance of survival, and the God-Slaying Gate Master himself had been certain Lin Yun would die.
Now he was equally certain Lin Yun had no chance today. Could it be that this fellow truly had some way out?
Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of a great many God-Slaying Gate disciples.
“What? The name the Gate Master just shouted was Lin Yun?”
“The very Lin Yun who took the championship in Chaos City? How could he suddenly appear in our God-Slaying Gate?”
“No wonder the great array was activated earlier. It was because of this Lin Yun!”
…
Many disciples turned their gazes towards the back mountain.
They sensed that with Lin Yun appearing here so abruptly, a major battle was likely about to erupt.
In the air above the great array over the back mountain.
Lin Yun and the God-Slaying Gate Master stood facing each other.
“Lin Yun, spare me your attempts to frighten me! This Gate Master did not grow up being scared. What scene have I not witnessed? You are certain to die today!”
With those words, the God-Slaying Gate Master waved his hand at once, revealing a fiery red long blade. The powerful aura of a Golden Supreme burst forth fully.
Clearly, he had no intention of continuing to speak with Lin Yun or negotiating peace. He was preparing to fight directly.
The God-Slaying Gate Master gripped his battle blade. Blood light surged across it, and immense power gathered madly upon the weapon.
“God-Slaying Slash!”
“Die, Lin Yun!”
Once terrifying power had condensed on the battle blade, the God-Slaying Gate Master swung it fiercely.
Rip!
The blade swept through the sky like a roaming dragon. Wherever it passed, heaven and earth trembled, and space tore apart.
“Worthy of a Golden Supreme. Today is the perfect chance to experience the might of a Golden Supreme.” There was no fear in Lin Yun’s eyes, only anticipation and wild excitement.
Lin Yun had never truly clashed head-on with a supreme.
Especially now that he himself had reached the supreme level, he very much wanted to fight a Golden Supreme in actual combat, to test exactly how far his current strength had progressed.
As he spoke, Lin Yun swiftly revealed his own source artefact battle blade. Powerful inner force surged forth, and he swept a sword strike towards the incoming attack.
“Flying Shadow Sword Art, Three Suns Slash!”
Three streams of sword qi burst out. The Heart of the Power Source, immeasurable divine sense, late-stage saint body physical power, and the sixth layer of the Cangxuan Secret Scripture all erupted together, merging into this single sword.
Since his opponent was a Golden Supreme, Lin Yun held nothing back from the outset to bridge the realm gap, unleashing these formidable techniques at once.
Boom!
The sharp sword light clashed directly with the blood-lit battle blade, sweeping up a mighty storm that raged outward.
“He actually blocked my attack?” Shock flashed in the God-Slaying Gate Master’s eyes.
He knew Lin Yun had some ability, having claimed the peak competition championship, but he himself was a Golden Supreme who had long since entered that realm.
“Is this not perfectly normal?”
The corner of Lin Yun’s mouth curved upwards. His precious sword transformed into a pillar of sword light and struck directly towards the God-Slaying Gate Master.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fierce collisions erupted continuously in the air. With every impact, heaven and earth shuddered. The entire God-Slaying Gate could feel the commotion clearly.
“In direct combat, Lin Yun has not fallen behind at all?”
“The Gate Master is a Golden Supreme, yet this initial supreme, a newly advanced one at that, can actually fight him evenly?!”
“This Lin Yun truly lives up to being the champion of this peak competition. Monstrous, utterly terrifying.”
…
Countless God-Slaying Gate disciples watched the battle in the sky over the back mountain, all astonished by Lin Yun’s performance.
On the battlefield.
“God-Slaying Gate Master, it seems your God-Slaying Gate has no other supremes. Relying solely on you to kill me does rather sound like wishful thinking, does it not?” Lin Yun said as they fought fiercely.
Thanks to various techniques compensating for the difference, Lin Yun had not once fallen into disadvantage during this exchange.
Beyond those techniques.
The vital energy of the Source Tree bolstering Lin Yun’s inner force was also far from negligible.
