Lin Yun and the Monk were both determined to kill each other, holding nothing back in their attacks. The Monk, in particular, was a strange sight—a man with a large, shaven head, yet radiating an overwhelming killing intent.

How could a Monk have such a dense aura of bloodlust?

"Lin Yun, not even the Buddha himself could save you today!" the Monk roared furiously.

"Hmph. Today, I’ll cleanse the sect on the Buddha’s behalf," Lin Yun snorted. With that, he thrust with the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in his hand. Seeing this, the Monk brought his Long Staff up to protect his chest.

The spear tip struck the staff’s shaft dead-on. "Wind Thunder Triple Flash..." Now that his identity was exposed, Lin Yun had no more reservations. He unleashed the Wind Thunder Triple Flash, a move he hadn’t dared to use until this moment.

Streaks of lightning appeared around the ghastly white Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. A flash of light, and the Monk’s body was sent flying several hundred meters, trails of lightning still clinging to him. That strike from the Wind Thunder Triple Flash had caused the Monk to suffer a small setback.

But it wasn’t over. After sending the Monk flying with one blow, Lin Yun leaped into the air, positioning himself above the Monk and aiming his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear down at him.

"Thunderfire Bombardment!" he roared. A torrent of dense flames infused with Lightning Power descended upon the Monk like a Celestial Punishment.

Watching the Thunderfire Bombardment descend from the sky—this was Lin Yun’s most powerful killing move. It was clear that Lin Yun was absolutely determined to kill the Monk.

With no time to dodge, the Monk’s expression became incredibly solemn. He began muttering a Buddhist Scripture, and as he chanted, the Golden Light around his body flared brilliantly.

Finally, his eyes also glowing with Golden Light, the Monk let out a low shout, "Buddhist Golden Body!"

As he spoke, the Golden Light rapidly converged, turning the Monk’s entire body a solid gold.

"Buddhist Golden Body, my ass! Even if you turned into a turtle today, I’d still smash your damn shell!"

The Thunderfire Bombardment collided with the Buddhist Golden Body. The immense power of the clash even drew the attention of the Daoist, who was fighting nearby. Knowing the Monk’s true strength, the Daoist couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for him.

’Such incredible power... When did Lin Yun get this strong?’ the Daoist wondered in shock.

Amidst the thick dust and smoke, it was clear that Lin Yun’s Thunderfire Bombardment had blasted a massive crater into the ground.

This was Lin Yun’s strongest attack. After a month of refinement, the current Thunderfire Bombardment was on a completely different level than the one he used during the Yanhuang List competition.

Its power was definitely comparable to an Earth Level Middle Tier Martial Skill.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..." After taking Lin Yun’s Thunderfire Bombardment head-on, the Monk coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. He was a miserable sight, his body already severely injured.

’Just severely injured?’ Lin Yun frowned slightly, not having killed the Monk in a single blow.

The power of the Thunderfire Bombardment was plain to see. Forget a Qi Sea Realm cultivator—even an expert at the First Layer of Primordial Ocean Realm could have been killed by that single strike if they were caught unprepared.

And yet, the Monk had actually managed to block that powerful strike.

Although he was injured, the fact that the Monk had successfully withstood the Thunderfire Bombardment was proof of his immense strength.

Without hesitation, the Monk swallowed a Healing Elixir. He hadn’t expected Lin Yun’s attack to be so terrifying; he’d been severely injured even with the protection of his Buddhist Golden Body.

Neither of them dared to be careless now. After swallowing the Healing Medicine, the Monk’s injuries were brought under control. He looked at Lin Yun with eyes that held not only fury, but also a hint of fear.

"That last move was powerful, but how many times can you use it with your Elemental Power?" the Monk asked, looking at Lin Yun.

Indeed, the Thunderfire Bombardment required a vast amount of Elemental Power. An ordinary person would likely have their entire reserves drained by a single use. But that was for ordinary people; Lin Yun’s Elemental Power Qi Sea was ten times the size of a normal person’s.

In other words, Lin Yun’s Elemental Power reserves were large enough for him to use Thunderfire Bombardment ten times.

"Why don’t you stick around and find out? But then again, how many times can *you* use that Buddhist Golden Body?" Lin Yun retorted.

As he spoke, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was once again enveloped in dense flames, with arcs of Thunder Power faintly visible around them.

"Thunderfire Bombardment!" Another Thunderfire Bombardment. Seeing this, the Monk simply put away his Long Staff, pressed his palms together, and pushed his Buddhist Golden Body to its absolute limit.

In the Monk’s mind, such a powerful attack must require an astronomical amount of Elemental Power. By his estimation, Lin Yun could use it three times at most.

’Come on, let’s see how much Elemental Power you really have.’

As expected, the Thunderfire Bombardment once again slammed violently into the Buddhist Golden Body, and another tremendous tremor shook the area.

The ensuing battle became a clash of the strongest spear against the strongest shield.

The moment the strike ended, Lin Yun, without a word, immediately began to prepare a third Thunderfire Bombardment. The Monk did likewise, his Buddhist Golden Body remaining active, suffusing his entire form in a brilliant golden sheen.

"Thunderfire Bombardment!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Buddhist Golden Body."

The two clashed again. After the third collision, fresh trickles of blood appeared at the corners of the Monk’s mouth. "Lin Yun, let’s see how much Elemental Power you have left..."

He said with a smirk, but before the words were even out of his mouth, the Monk saw that Lin Yun had already prepared a fourth Thunderfire Bombardment with the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.

"Damn it! Is this guy a monster? How can he still use Thunderfire Bombardment?" the Monk couldn’t help but curse. The Defense Power of the Buddhist Golden Body was formidable, but the consumption of Elemental Power was also immense. He had less than a tenth of his Elemental Power left, yet to his disbelief, Lin Yun could still use Thunderfire Bombardment.

He hastily swallowed a Qi Essence Pill. The Monk had no way out now; either he would outlast Lin Yun, or Lin Yun would cut him down.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The immense power of their battle had completely transformed the space where the two were fighting.

Noticing the battle on Lin Yun’s side, the Daoist was stunned speechless. ’What level of combat is this? Could it be the Primordial Ocean Realm? Every one of Lin Yun’s attacks is no weaker than that of an ordinary expert at the First Layer of Primordial Ocean Realm.’

After a full seven Thunderfire Bombardments, Lin Yun’s own Elemental Power reserves were running low. He could only support three more.

On the surface, Lin Yun held the absolute advantage. The Monk was now severely injured, and the Golden Light around him had dimmed considerably. It seemed he wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.

In his heart, however, Lin Yun deeply admired the Monk’s strength. To be able to withstand seven of his Thunderfire Bombardments head-on was a true testament to the power of the Buddhist Golden Body.

In fact, from the first time he had met the Monk and Daoist, Lin Yun knew their strength was not to be underestimated. He just never expected them to be *this* strong.

After all, the current Lin Yun was strong enough to instantly kill the likes of Kang Lai and Chang Qing. Didn’t that mean the Monk, who had fought him to this point, could also instantly kill them?

A plan suddenly formed in his mind. Lin Yun no longer wanted to kill the Monk and Daoist. A sense of appreciation for their talent had stirred within him.

But just because he wouldn’t kill them didn’t mean Lin Yun would let them leave.
