Lin Yun had traveled all the way from Iron Gate Pass. Even though his father, Lin Xiaotian, was one of the three Grand Generals of the Yanhuang Country, Lin Yun had never asked him for the cultivation resources he needed.

He had robbed countless people along his journey. For these five to think they could rob Lin Yun, they were simply courting death.

After taking two of the youth’s attacks head-on, Lin Yun’s expression remained unchanged. However, no one present noticed that right in their vicinity, the Supreme Elder of Flawless Palace, who had been tailing Lin Yun, was quietly watching him.

"Not bad, little fellow," the Supreme Elder praised with a faint smile.

At first, the Supreme Elder had wanted to intervene, since Lin Yun was facing five Taiqing Academy Disciples alone. However, Lin Yun’s powerful counterattack convinced the Supreme Elder to remain hidden for the time being.

Having failed to gain any advantage after two consecutive attacks, the youth was out of options. He unleashed the third sword of the Taiqing Nine Swords.

The youth’s aura became incomparably sharp. The longsword in his hand began to flash with a blinding light, which grew stronger and stronger, so intense that no one dared to look at it directly.

Before the attack even landed, Lin Yun could feel its power. Without much hesitation, he also began to gather power for Dual Dragon World Destruction. From the youth’s longsword, Lin Yun sensed a fatal threat.

"Third Sword—Celestial Light Annihilates the Enemy!" With a low shout, the light from the longsword in the youth’s hand exploded, and the dazzling radiance instantly enveloped Lin Yun.

Everywhere he looked was filled with intense, shining light. Within the radiance, Lin Yun couldn’t tell where the youth was, nor could he sense any aura.

After a brief moment of shock, Lin Yun quickly recovered. His Dual Dragon World Destruction was ready.

Celestial Light Annihilates the Enemy was the strongest attack the youth currently had at his command. He rarely used it under normal circumstances because the Elemental Power it consumed was too immense.

As the light enveloped Lin Yun, the longsword flew from the youth’s hand, instantly transforming into several thousand Light Sabers. They glittered like specks of starlight. When the youth pointed at Lin Yun, the thousands of Light Sabers shot violently toward him.

Killing intent... The entire space was filled with killing intent. Lin Yun marveled at the power of the youth’s technique.

’If I can’t find a weak point, I’ll just break it with brute force,’ he muttered. Two Dragon Shadows instantly shot out from his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, charging toward a single point in the light.

’Kid, can you break through Taiqing Academy’s Taiqing Nine Swords?’ The Supreme Elder, who had been watching all along, was now staring intently at the light enveloping Lin Yun. He wanted to see how Lin Yun would deal with the Taiqing Nine Swords.

The roar of dragons echoed as Dual Dragon World Destruction slammed viciously into the wall of light. At the same time, the youth’s thousands of sword images reached Lin Yun.

Facing thousands of Light Sabers at once, it was impossible for Lin Yun to defend completely. He could only do his best to dodge and protect his vital points.

Even so, in just a few moments, more than ten Light Sabers pierced through Lin Yun’s body. Although none of them hit his vital points, blood instantly stained his clothes red.

Lin Yun continuously swung the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in his hands, dodging again and again. However, in a moment of carelessness, a Light Saber shot violently toward his heart.

In his haste, Lin Yun couldn’t afford to be concerned with much else. He dodged the area over his heart, but the Light Saber pierced straight through his chest.

With his chest pierced, Lin Yun spat out a mouthful of blood. ’This technique really is something else.’

Despite this, Lin Yun’s eyes remained clear, and the Battle Intent radiating from his body did not diminish, but instead grew stronger.

Seeing that Lin Yun was heavily injured, a smile crept onto the youth’s face as he taunted, "Haha! Weren’t you so arrogant, brat? Today, you’ll die, pierced by ten thousand arrows!"

The youth felt a surge of satisfaction. But just as he finished speaking, a gap instantly appeared in the Light Array surrounding Lin Yun. Lin Yun’s voice immediately rang out, "Pierced by ten thousand arrows? We’ll see who dies today."

Lin Yun’s voice was icy cold. As his voice fell, a sky-shaking dragon roar echoed. A red and a purple Dragon Shadow burst from the gap in the Light Array, intertwining as they charged toward the youth.

This sudden turn of events made the sneering youth’s expression change in an instant. The power of Dual Dragon World Destruction was not to be underestimated. The youth had no time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as Dual Dragon World Destruction consumed his body.

Dual Dragon World Destruction broke through the Light Array. Although Lin Yun had been heavily injured within the array and his body was covered in wounds, his figure reappeared in the air as the array shattered.

Covered in his own blood, Lin Yun was a wretched sight. The wound in his chest, in particular, was still gushing fresh blood.

But Lin Yun paid no mind to his injuries. His eyes were fixed on the youth who had been swallowed by Dual Dragon World Destruction.

Amidst the sky-shaking dragon roars, it was as if the youth was being torn to shreds by Dual Dragon World Destruction. Lin Yun stared quietly at the two Dragon Shadows in the sky. As time passed, the Energy of the two Dragon Shadows gradually weakened.

Finally, under Lin Yun’s gaze, the two Dragon Shadows were shattered. The Dragon Shadows vanished, and the youth’s figure reappeared, a violent fluctuation of Elemental Power radiating from his body.

Lin Yun was covered in wounds, but the youth’s condition was also extremely poor. His clothes were burnt black, and his skin was covered in burns.

As soon as he appeared before Lin Yun, the youth couldn’t stop himself from spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

This head-on clash had ended in mutual destruction. Neither had gained an advantage, and both were now severely injured.

They simultaneously took out and consumed Healing Medicine. The youth looked at Lin Yun, boundless killing intent growing in his eyes. He was a genius of Taiqing Academy, one of the Ten Core Disciples.

In Taiqing Academy, aside from that one Demon Fiend he dared not offend, the youth feared no one. Yet, he never expected to encounter a freak like Lin Yun here today.

With a mere Cultivation at the Sixth Layer of Primordial Ocean Realm, he could fight him to a standstill. He was even able to break his technique and severely injure him after he had unleashed Celestial Light Annihilates the Enemy.

’This guy... if I let him continue to grow, he’ll definitely become another Demon Fiend. Damn it! Why have I never heard of Flawless Palace having someone like him? He has this much Combat Power already. As long as Lin Yun raises his Cultivation, he’s guaranteed to become a top-tier Demon Fiend.’

As one of the Ten Core Disciples of Taiqing Academy, he of course knew that no one wanted to see another Demon Fiend emerge from Flawless Palace. If that happened, the balance between the Six Great Forces of the Eastern Domain would shift again.

It was easy to imagine that if a Demon Fiend emerged from Flawless Palace, the other great forces that were currently eyeing it with predatory intent would have to become far more cautious.

’Damn it, I can’t let this kid keep growing. Otherwise, he’ll become a massive threat to Taiqing Academy,’ the youth thought to himself. At that moment, he made a desperate decision.
