Chapter 261: Slaying Another Primordial Ocean Expert
The Primordial Ocean Realm expert Lin Yun had killed back at Chiyang Pass could be considered a mere novice who had just broken through. This new opponent, however, had been cultivating at the First Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm for several years.
In every aspect, he was much stronger than the Primordial Ocean Realm expert Lin Yun had previously killed.
However, no matter how strong he was, he was still only at the First Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. Lin Yun, having reached the Sixth Level of the Qi Sea Realm, was confident he could kill him.
With a single thrust of the Bone Spear, Lin Yun used Inch Step to cross the ten-meter distance between them. In the blink of an eye, the tip of the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was right before the man’s face.
"Hmph. You don’t know your own limits." Seeing Lin Yun attack, the man snorted coldly and thrust a finger forward. His finger had turned the color of steel.
His finger struck the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, and the sound of metal striking metal rang out.
Admittedly, the man’s finger technique was powerful. His flesh alone was as hard as a Spirit Soldier. However, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was no ordinary Earth Spirit Soldier. Its sharpness was so great that even a Celestial Spirit Soldier couldn’t compare.
The instant they collided, the man clearly sensed how extraordinary the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear was. Though it was only an Earth Spirit Soldier, its sharpness far surpassed even that of a Celestial Spirit Soldier.
’What a sharp Earth Spirit Soldier,’ he thought with a soft sigh. His finger had already been pierced by the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, and trickles of blood ran down. If he hadn’t pulled back in a hurry, the spear would have crippled his entire finger.
’I didn’t expect the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear to be so sharp.’ The man’s expression turned serious. With a flash from his Space Ring, a longsword appeared in his hand.
Drawing a Spirit Soldier when facing an opponent at the Sixth Level of the Qi Sea Realm proved he was finally taking this seriously.
Lin Yun calmly regarded the expert from the Wind Forest Sect. He had no intention of drawing out the fight. ’After all, this is Wind Forest City. If I take too long, another Primordial Ocean Realm expert might show up, and that would be trouble.’
Lin Yun nodded at Little Ape. He planned to join forces with the ape and kill this Primordial Ocean Realm expert with lightning speed.
Attacking from the left and right, Lin Yun and Little Ape charged the Primordial Ocean Realm expert like bolts of lightning. In response, the man swung his longsword, sending a sword light several meters long slashing toward Lin Yun.
"Thunderfire Bombardment!" Lin Yun unleashed his attack to meet the incoming sword light. The two forces collided, and the Thunderfire Bombardment shattered the sword light. Though its power was diminished by more than half, Lin Yun continued his charge straight toward the Primordial Ocean Realm expert.
"You’re courting death!" Lin Yun’s decision to meet him head-on thoroughly enraged the Primordial Ocean Realm expert. ’No matter what kind of genius you are, you’re nothing until you reach the Primordial Ocean Realm.’
The Primordial Ocean Realm expert focused all his attention on Lin Yun, paying Little Ape no mind at all. ’What can a mere Tier Two Demon Beast possibly do?’
He swung his sword again, the sword light slamming violently into the Thunderfire Bombardment. Already weakened, the Thunderfire Bombardment was completely shattered by the blow.
Lin Yun’s figure reappeared. The remnants of the sword light had torn several gashes in his clothes, some of which had broken his skin.
Having gained the upper hand, the Primordial Ocean Realm expert’s confidence swelled, even though he hadn’t landed a fatal blow on Lin Yun. ’The Qi Sea Realm is still just the Qi Sea Realm. Even a genius has his limits.’
The corners of the Primordial Ocean Realm expert’s mouth curved into a confident smile. But just as he was about to speak, Little Ape seized its chance. In the blink of an eye, it appeared behind the man and viciously threw a punch, its fist glowing with a blood-red light.
Caught completely defenseless, the man took Little Ape’s fist square in the back. SPURT— He vomited a mouthful of blood. The power of this punch from the creature he had dismissed as a mere Tier Two Demon Beast had caught him completely off guard.
’Lin Yun is a monster, but I never expected this Demon Beast reeking of Evil Qi to be one too! An ordinary Tier Two Demon Beast shouldn’t even be able to scratch me.’
As Little Ape’s strike landed, Lin Yun seized the opportunity. He instantly unleashed Thunderfire Bombardment. Before the Primordial Ocean Realm expert could recover, the attack had already pierced clean through his chest.
With his chest pierced through, another Primordial Ocean Realm expert died an ignominious death at Lin Yun’s hands.
This was the second Primordial Ocean Realm expert Lin Yun had slain. Although he had relied on Little Ape’s help both times, a kill was still a kill.
The surrounding crowd held their breath. ’Someone at the Sixth Level of the Qi Sea Realm killed an expert at the First Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm?’ Many of them couldn’t accept the reality before their eyes.
In both the Nan Feng Kingdom and Yanhuang Country, those in the Primordial Ocean Realm were undisputed sovereigns. Every single Primordial Ocean Realm expert was a lofty existence, holding the power of life and death in their hands.
Yet who could have imagined that one such expert would be killed right before their eyes by a Martial Artist at the Sixth Level of the Qi Sea Realm?
Lin Yun yanked out the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, and blood sprayed from the Primordial Ocean Realm expert’s chest. The dying man looked at Lin Yun, his eyes filled with regret and resentment.
Lin Yun was not the least bit flustered at having killed another Primordial Ocean Realm expert from the Wind Forest Sect. ’My feud with the Wind Forest Sect is already to the death. Even if I hadn’t killed this man, they would never have let me go.’
With practiced ease, he took the man’s Space Ring and departed quickly, not daring to linger.
’This is a huge incident. The Wind Forest Sect is sure to send a host of masters to hunt me down. It would be unwise to stay here. Although I can kill a Primordial Ocean Realm expert now, I’m limited to those at the First Layer. If someone from the Second or Third Layer shows up, I’ll be in deep trouble.’
No more than fifteen minutes after Lin Yun’s hasty departure, three figures arrived at the pharmacy’s entrance. As they stared at the corpse on the ground, all three of them radiated a bone-chilling aura.
"Damn it! How dare someone kill one of our Sect’s experts in Wind Forest City! Find him, no matter who he is!" the leader barked.
Judging by their auras, the leader was an expert at the Third Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. The other two were at the Second and First Layers, respectively.
"What if he flees into the Second or Third Elder’s territory?" the expert at the Second Layer asked.
At these words, the leader spoke in a cold voice, "I will report this to the Grand Elder at once. For openly murdering an expert of our Sect, we will hunt him to the ends of the earth and kill him."
Their guess was correct. After leaving the scene, Lin Yun headed straight for the territory controlled by the Third Elder’s faction. The political situation in Wind Forest City was precisely why he dared to kill so brazenly.
Of course, his own strength was the most important factor. But beyond that, Wind Forest City was jointly managed by three major factions. Having killed someone in the Grand Elder’s territory, Lin Yun could simply flee into the territory of the Third Elder’s faction.
Furthermore, feeling more powerful than ever, Lin Yun began to hatch an audacious plan.
’Since things have already come to this, I might as well go all in. I’ll raise hell in Wind Forest City and teach the Wind Forest Sect a lesson they won’t forget.’
Blending into the crowd, Lin Yun made his way toward the Third Elder’s territory.
