Divine Emperor Demon Emperor
Chapter 181: Slaughtered into Terror
After killing three more, Wang Yun and the young man had already retreated to a corner of the Martial Arts Training Ground, a full three hundred meters away from Lin Yun. The two of them didn’t dare approach him now.
After the battle just now, the remaining seven guards had sobered up from their greed for the ten thousand Low Grade Primordial Stones. The stones were nice, but you had to be alive to enjoy them.
The young man before them couldn’t be judged by common sense. Not only was his Combat Power absurdly high, but his methods were also utterly ruthless, no less vicious than those of seasoned veterans.
It wasn’t their fault. As Wang Family guards, their job was simply to protect the Wang Family’s safety. And within the Capital City, what kind of fights would they usually get into, let alone a battle to the death?
Lin Yun, on the other hand, had walked out of the Yunlu Mountain Range. Every step of his journey had been paved with endless slaughter and relentless pursuit.
The difference between them was stark. In Lin Yun’s eyes, the Wang Family guards were like sheep raised in a pen, while he was a fierce tiger from the wilds.
When a tiger fights a sheep, the outcome is obvious. This was a tiger let loose in a flock of sheep.
Ignoring the fear on the seven guards’ faces, Lin Yun’s wounds continued to gush blood. But instead of making him look vulnerable, the blood only highlighted his savage nature.
"Wang Yun, today, I’m taking your life!" Lin Yun roared at the distant Wang Yun and attacked once more.
To kill Wang Yun, he first had to get through these seven guards. Lin Yun wasn’t rushing things; his first targets were, naturally, the seven guards.
The seven guards, already wanting to retreat, could only defend with all their might against Lin Yun’s onslaught. Even when openings appeared, none of them dared to attack.
The power unleashed by the Red Flame Spear Technique was overwhelming. Facing Lin Yun’s frenzied assault, the seven men began to falter, and one was caught off guard and killed by Lin Yun’s spear.
"Lin Yun, do you really insist on a fight to the death?" Wang Yun, no longer wanting to fight, had never imagined Lin Yun’s Combat Power could be so terrifying.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a Martial Artist at the Ninth Layer of the Opening Realm could strike fear into the hearts of twelve Martial Artists at the Early Stage of the Qi Sea Realm.
This was beyond Wang Yun’s comprehension. ’Even in the Academy, someone like that probably doesn’t exist, right?’
Subconsciously, Wang Yun compared Lin Yun to the disciples of the Academy’s Genius Class. He was shocked to realize that the students of the Genius Class, hailed as the most promising in all of Yanhuang Country, were nothing compared to Lin Yun.
’Perhaps only those two freaks from the Royal Family could be considered his peers.’
Wang Yun wanted to sue for peace, but Lin Yun paid him no mind. ’You attack when you want, and stop when you want? It seems Wang Yun still hasn’t figured something out.’
This was no longer Wang Yun’s call to make. It was Lin Yun’s. Everything depended on his whim. Now, *he* was the one who decided who lived and who died.
The battle raged on, gradually becoming completely one-sided. One side was an unstoppable force, while the other was a routed, terrified mob. The victor had already been decided; all that remained was Lin Yun’s slaughter.
Everyone was shocked by Lin Yun’s ferocious power, but they had overlooked one thing: Lin Yun’s own injuries were also quite severe.
After fighting twelve Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists, the injuries Lin Yun had sustained were naturally not light. At this point, he was running on sheer willpower.
He killed two more. Of the original twelve Qi Sea Realm guards, only three remained. When they looked at Lin Yun, their eyes held not a shred of Battle Intent, only pure, unadulterated terror.
The three men fell back continuously until they were right in front of Wang Yun and the young man.
"Kill him! Kill him for me! Don’t you dare retreat...!" Wang Yun roared at the three men. But his command was useless now.
The three completely ignored Wang Yun’s roars. Backed into a corner, their eyes began to plead for mercy.
News of the great battle in the Martial Arts Training Ground had naturally reached the other Wang Family guards. Just then, several dozen more guards rushed in. However, ninety percent of them were at the Opening Realm; only five were at the Early Stage of the Qi Sea Realm.
Seeing his reinforcements arrive, Wang Yun’s expression eased slightly. But before he could feel completely relieved, Lin Yun spoke with chilling indifference, "Excellent. I’ll kill as many people from the Wang Family as dare to step into this Martial Arts Training Ground today."
With that said, Lin Yun charged directly at the dozens of Wang Family guards.
Unaware of how terrifying Lin Yun was, many of the newly arrived guards wore contemptuous expressions as he charged them. ’What can one heavily injured man do? Can he really slaughter all of us?’
As Lin Yun charged, these guards let out war cries and rushed to meet him.
Lin Yun had already scared the Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists out of their wits; these Opening Realm guards were just throwing their lives away.
Amid the shouts of the three surviving guards, Lin Yun plunged into their midst like a tiger among sheep, unleashing an even greater slaughter.
"Don’t go! It’s suicide! Stop!" the three Qi Sea Realm guards roared desperately.
The moment the two sides clashed, the Bone Spear in Lin Yun’s hand instantly claimed the life of an Opening Realm guard. What followed was simple: no one at the Opening Realm could withstand a single blow from him.
A single thrust was a killing blow. Each person was run through the chest by Lin Yun’s spear, collapsing in terror, never to rise again.
’Is this fucking guy even human?’ One person was slaughtering dozens of guards. The same men who had looked at him with contempt were now scattering in all directions. ’This isn’t a battle, it’s a massacre.’
’Since he’d already started, what’s the difference between killing one and killing two?’ Lin Yun naturally wouldn’t let them escape. He gave chase. With Inch Step at his disposal, anyone he targeted had no hope of survival.
Of the more than forty Opening Realm guards, only eight remained after less than a hundred breaths of Lin Yun’s onslaught. Seeing this, the faces of the five newly arrived Qi Sea Realm guards filled with a mixture of anger, shock, and other emotions.
The ruthlessness of this seemingly harmless young man was something they had never witnessed.
"Brat, how dare you run wild in the Wang Family’s home! Die!" Not having fought Lin Yun themselves, the five Qi Sea Realm experts swarmed him. They didn’t believe he could possibly fight all five of them at once.
"Don’t go, you idiots! Don’t go!" the three terrified Qi Sea Realm guards screamed as they watched the five men charge. ’Those five have a death wish.’
’He didn’t just fight five of us, he fought twelve! The five of you are just throwing your lives away!’
The five disbelieving Qi Sea Realm guards unleashed a fierce barrage of attacks on Lin Yun. The result, however, left them completely stunned. Dodging three attacks and taking two head-on, Lin Yun instantly killed one of them.
In just a single exchange, Lin Yun had killed a Qi Sea Realm expert. Now, everyone understood. The three surviving guards had been telling the truth.
