Faced with Dual Dragon World Destruction, Lang Dan’s Vajra Body held on for a mere dozen breaths before shattering. The two Dragon Shadows slammed viciously into him, sending him flying over a thousand meters.

Traces of the Dragon Shadows’ passage scarred the ground. Over a thousand meters away, Lang Dan coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. His Vajra Body had been unable to block Lin Yun’s attack, shattering with a single strike. The light in Lang Dan’s eyes dimmed considerably.

"Impossible... Impossible..." Lang Dan muttered, continuously shaking his head. He refused to believe the gap between him and Lin Yun had become so vast.

Just a year ago, Lang Dan had been evenly matched with Lin Yun. Now, a year later, facing Lin Yun again, all he could do was be utterly crushed.

Talent was certainly a factor, but the main reason was how differently Lin Yun and Lang Dan had spent the past year.

Ever since entering the Mysterious Forest, Lin Yun had relentlessly trained, and his strength had grown by leaps and bounds. Lang Dan, on the other hand, had spent his days indulging in debauchery. As one advanced and the other stagnated, the distance between them naturally widened.

Without Lang Dan noticing, Lin Yun had appeared before him. With the tip of his spear aimed at Lang Dan’s throat, Lin Yun asked indifferently, "Do you know why you’re so weak?"

Hearing this, Lang Dan looked up at Lin Yun in silence, his usual spirit gone. Lin Yun, in contrast, held his Bone Spear with a heroic and commanding presence. It was as if he and Lang Dan were from two different worlds.

"You lack the heart of a warrior. Mired in debauchery, you are unworthy of the name ’genius’," Lin Yun said.

After easily defeating Lang Dan, seven more figures flew out from the third floor of the pharmacy. Little Ape, who stood taller than a man, then came to Lin Yun’s side.

Dealing with these ordinary guards from the Mid-Stage of the Qi Sea Realm posed no challenge for Little Ape.

"Alright, let’s talk compensation. One million Low Grade Primordial Stones, and I’ll pretend this never happened," he said to Lang Dan.

Hearing this, the utterly dejected Lang Dan instantly glared in fury. ’One million Low Grade Primordial Stones? That’s equivalent to half of the entire pharmacy’s operating funds!’

"Are you insane? One million Low Grade Primordial Stones? You might as well be robbing me!" Lang Dan roared.

At his words, Lin Yun gave a slight smile. "You have a point. In that case, I’ll just rob you outright. Hand over one million Low Grade Primordial Stones, or I’ll take your life."

As his words fell, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear inched forward, pressing firmly against Lang Dan’s throat. The faint sting of the spear tip petrified Lang Dan, and he didn’t dare to move a muscle.

Although his defeat at Lin Yun’s hands had left him dejected, it didn’t mean Lang Dan didn’t cherish his own life. Looking into Lin Yun’s eyes, Lang Dan was certain that he wasn’t bluffing; he would actually dare to kill him.

"I don’t have that many Primordial Stones." Lang Dan naturally didn’t have a million Low Grade Primordial Stones on him personally, but having spent the last two days in the pharmacy, he was carrying its operating funds. Including that, the total exceeded one million Low Grade Primordial Stones.

"You don’t? Then die." Lin Yun’s eyes narrowed as he applied a little pressure to the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. The sharp tip pierced Lang Dan’s skin, and a trickle of blood flowed out. With just a fraction more force, Lin Yun would run him through the throat.

The threat of death washed over Lang Dan. Faced with his own demise, Lang Dan finally relented and obediently handed over his Space Ring.

Sending his Soul Thought into the Space Ring, Lin Yun found it stuffed full of Primordial Stones—a whopping one and a half million in total.

With a satisfied smile, Lin Yun put away Lang Dan’s Space Ring. But at that moment, an expert from the Wind Forest Sect arrived. Taking in the ruined pharmacy, then the sight of Lang Dan pinned at spearpoint by Lin Yun, this First Layer Primordial Ocean Realm expert roared in anger.

"Brat, who are you? How dare you attack my Wind Forest Sect’s property! Release Lang Dan at once!"

Seeing his Sect’s expert arrive, Lang Dan was so overcome with emotion he was on the verge of tears. He immediately shouted, "Elder, save me! He’s Lin Shan, the one who killed our Sect’s expert at Chiyang Pass! He’s not dead, and he stole all the Primordial Stones from the pharmacy!"

Hearing Lang Dan’s cry, the First Layer Primordial Ocean Realm expert’s gaze on Lin Yun became saturated with killing intent. What Lin Yun had done at Chiyang Pass had greatly angered the three major factions of the Wind Forest Sect.

They had dispatched many experts to the Mysterious Forest to hunt down and kill Lin Yun, but after guarding the perimeter for half a year and seeing no sign of him, they had all concluded he was dead.

They had never imagined that not only was Lin Yun alive, but he had become even more audacious, daring to rob a Wind Forest Sect establishment.

"Brat, no one can save you today. Release Lang Dan, hand over the Primordial Stones, and I might grant you a quick death," the Primordial Ocean Realm expert said.

His confidence bolstered by the arrival of his Sect’s expert, Lang Dan chimed in, "That’s right, Lin Shan! If you know what’s good for you, let me go! Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!"

Lin Yun didn’t speak, a wicked grin still playing on his lips. If there was one thing Lin Yun had heard more than anything over the past few years, it was threats.

What Lang Dan and the Elder didn’t know was that threatening Lin Yun was utterly pointless. It would only hasten their deaths.

Turning to look at Lang Dan, Lin Yun said calmly, "In that case, let me send you on your way first."

As his voice fell, a slight push of the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was all it took to effortlessly pierce Lang Dan’s throat.

In an instant, blood gushed from Lang Dan’s throat. He couldn’t believe it. ’How could Lin Yun dare to kill him? A Sect expert was right here, yet Lin Yun still went for the kill.’

He tried to speak, but only gurgling sounds came out. The world before him blurred, and with a final, indignant breath, Lang Dan died at the tip of Lin Yun’s spear.

The sixth-ranked prodigy on the Wind Forest List, a Direct Disciple of the Grand Elder’s faction, had been killed by Lin Yun just like that.

Snapping out of his shock from the scene before him, the Primordial Ocean Realm expert’s Elemental Power surged violently. "Brat, don’t even think about running today!"

Facing a thoroughly enraged First Layer Primordial Ocean Realm expert, Lin Yun showed no sign of running. He replied coolly, "Who said I was going to run?"

Lin Yun’s words left even the spectators dumbfounded. ’He’s not running from a First Layer Primordial Ocean Realm expert? He’s going to fight instead? That’s just asking to be killed.’

The Primordial Ocean Realm expert burst into wild laughter. "Haha! Do you think killing one of our Sect’s First Layer Primordial Ocean Realm experts means you can take me on?"

"Let me tell you, there are strong and weak experts even at the First Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. The one you killed was nothing but trash. I wouldn’t need ten moves to kill him."

"Likewise, I won’t need ten moves to kill you either."

The Primordial Ocean Realm expert was brimming with confidence. Hearing this, Lin Yun replied, "Today, I will kill another Wind Forest Sect expert. In the future, I will personally visit the Wind Forest Sect and tear you out by the roots."

This Primordial Ocean Realm expert was powerful, far stronger than the one from Chiyang Pass. But Lin Yun, too, was a far cry from who he used to be.
