The combined attack of eight Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists instantly blasted a massive crater where Lin Yun stood. Dust and smoke billowed, completely swallowing his figure.

As the dust swirled, obscuring Lin Yun from view, a cruel smile appeared on Wang Yun’s face. "Let’s see you survive that."

However, as the dust slowly settled, Lin Yun’s figure reappeared. He was streaked with blood and appeared heavily injured, but the killing intent radiating from him had only grown stronger.

"This...is impossible..." Wang Yun stammered in disbelief. ’He took a direct hit from eight Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists and didn’t die?’

And it didn’t stop there. Not only was Lin Yun alive, but his aura was actually surging, climbing steadily until he shattered the barrier of the Opening Realm and reached the First Layer of the Qi Sea Realm.

’He broke through?’ Fear crept into Wang Yun’s heart. But as a young master from a noble family in the Capital City, he was knowledgeable enough to quickly deduce the reason. An elixir.

"He took a Blood Burning Pill!" Wang Yun roared.

He was right. Just as the eight attacks were about to land, Lin Yun had swallowed the Blood Burning Pill from his Space Ring. He had won this elixir during the tournament of the Four Great Young Masters back in the Mysterious City.

He had saved it until now, and today it finally had its use. Under these circumstances, Lin Yun had reached his limit. By taking the Blood Burning Pill, he made it clear he was going to slaughter every last one of them.

His eyes thick with killing intent, Lin Yun locked his gaze onto Wang Yun and his companion. Just being stared at by him made fear bloom in their hearts. Facing Lin Yun now, Wang Yun, a cultivator at the Mid-Stage of the Qi Sea Realm, completely lost his nerve.

His voice was ice-cold. "Today, you will all die."

As the words fell, Lin Yun kicked off the ground and shot toward Wang Yun like an arrow. He knew he had to cut off the head of the snake. Ignoring the eight Wang Family guards, Lin Yun aimed directly for Wang Yun.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yun was right in front of him. Before his guards could even react, Wang Yun found he didn’t have the courage to fight back.

The fact that Lin Yun had taken a direct hit from eight Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists was enough to shatter Wang Yun’s courage.

Shamelessly, Wang Yun chose to flee, shoving the young man beside him forward to block his path. Seeing this, a cold smirk appeared on Lin Yun’s lips. ’Very well. I’ll start by collecting some interest.’

To Lin Yun, it made no difference who he killed first. Faced with the frenzied killing intent erupting from Lin Yun, the young man was petrified, even forgetting to resist.

These so-called young masters from noble families were always swaggering about, but as soon as they ran into someone truly ruthless, they wilted. Just like now. The young man was clearly at the Qi Sea Realm, yet he didn’t even attempt to resist.

He thrust his Bone Spear. Just as the tip was about to pierce the young man’s chest, the guards finally reacted and rushed over, launching an attack at the spear. Because of their interference, the spearhead was knocked slightly off-course, piercing the young man’s shoulder.

A look of regret flashed across Lin Yun’s face for failing to land a killing blow. He ignored the others and yanked out the Bone Spear. By now, the eight Wang Family guards had surrounded him again.

Successfully rescued, the young man, who had just had a brush with death at the Ghost Gate, now looked at Lin Yun with eyes full of terror. He instinctively scrambled back, putting as much distance as he could between himself and Lin Yun.

Like his companion, Wang Yun also retreated a great distance. He was already beginning to regret his actions. He had never expected Lin Yun’s Combat Power to be this terrifying, nor that he would be so decisive and lethal in his attacks, completely disregarding the consequences. If he had known, Wang Yun might not have been so rash.

"Lin Yun, how about we call it quits for today? I’ll let you leave, and we’ll wipe the slate clean," Wang Yun shouted.

Hearing this, the cold smirk on Lin Yun’s face widened. His voice was laced with ice as he replied, "Wipe the slate clean? Wang Yun, I’ll wipe the slate clean with your life."

’What a joke. You attack when you want, and you call it off when you want? Do you really think I’m some clay doll you can knead as you please?’

Since Lin Yun refused to yield, Wang Yun realized this affair would not end peacefully. A crazed look appeared on his face. With no way out, he decided to go all in.

"Kill him! Whoever kills him gets a reward of ten thousand Low Grade Primordial Stones!" Wang Yun roared at the eight guards, completely desperate now.

Men die in pursuit of wealth as birds die in pursuit of food. For these Wang Family guards, ten thousand Low Grade Primordial Stones was an absolute fortune, enough to sustain their cultivation for a very long time.

As soon as he spoke, crazed expressions appeared on the eight guards’ faces. It seemed the allure of ten thousand Primordial Stones had washed away their fear.

’Good. Today, I’ll see what the Wang Family is really made of.’ Having taken the Blood Burning Pill and reached the Qi Sea Realm, Lin Yun no longer feared these eight guards.

Without another word, Lin Yun attacked first. Now empowered by the Blood Burning Pill, his Red Flame Spear Technique was even more potent. Every sweep of his spear sent one of the Wang Family guards reeling.

Against Lin Yun, the eight guards not only failed to gain the upper hand, but were actually being pushed back. Seeing this, Wang Yun shouted to the two men guarding the door, "Quick, go help them! Kill that bastard for me!"

At his command, the two men joined the fray, turning the fight into a ten-on-one siege.

Even with two more guards joining in, Lin Yun’s assault didn’t weaken in the slightest. In fact, he fought even more ferociously, adopting the stance of a man with nothing to lose.

Willingly trading injuries, Lin Yun had already severely wounded three of the Wang Family guards. Although they weren’t dead, they had lost more than ninety percent of their Combat Power and no longer posed a threat to him.

But this came at a price. In exchange for severely wounding three men, Lin Yun himself had suffered more than a dozen gashes. Blood quickly soaked his clothes, and drenched in crimson, he looked like an Asura that had crawled up from Hell.

Executing Inch Step, Lin Yun dodged a flurry of attacks and appeared before one of the severely wounded guards. With a flick of his Bone Spear, he launched the man into the air. He immediately followed up with the Red Flame Spear Technique, and the guard was instantly engulfed in flames, turning to ash in mid-air.

After he executed another guard, the others finally understood Lin Yun’s objective: he was targeting the three wounded men. The remaining seven guards immediately formed a protective circle around the other two, preventing Lin Yun from striking again.

"You think you can protect them?" Lin Yun snarled, launching a direct frontal assault. The defensive line formed by the seven men was quickly torn asunder by his Red Flame Spear Technique.

In the process, Lin Yun took three more blade wounds, but he didn’t care. The battle had reached a point of kill or be killed. Having successfully broken through their defense, he decisively sent the two men to Hell before their horrified eyes.

Lin Yun, now fighting like a man possessed, had killed three Wang Family guards in just a short time. To say Wang Yun was shocked would be an understatement.

’This guy’s a lunatic,’ he thought. ’A lunatic who’ll trade his life for his enemy’s.’
