Chapter 944 - Strong Stance!

When Lin Yun removed his hood, Mo Yan, Mu Ziyi, and Wu Mu instantly recognized him. After all, there wasn’t a single person in the Azure Dragon Region who hadn’t heard of Lin Yun. He was the latest famous genius who just finished killing Kong Xuan.

Aside from the seven heads of the Azure Dragon Ranking, Lin Yun was the most popular person in the Azure Dragon Region. Mo Yan never thought he would run into Lin Yun.

“Flower Burial, you truly deserve your reputation,” said Mo Yan after a slight moment of silence. “But…I was the one to discover this Gold-furred Demonic Ape and we spent a great deal of effort killing it. Aren’t you a little too unreasonable to rob us?”

When Lin Yun heard Mo Yan’s words, he smiled. This was the first time someone from the higher realm tried to reason with him.

Lin Yun knew that the higher realms would only submit to strength. Furthermore, they would treat their opponents differently if they were also from the higher realm. But they would treat the lower realms like dirt.

“How surprising,” sneered Lin Yun. He didn’t bother concealing his ridicule. Lin Yun didn’t care about what they thought since they were from the higher realms.

Up to this point, no one had ever reasoned with him. Not Feng Wuji and certainly not the Bloodbone Realm. No one wanted to reason with him back when he was a nobody. It was only after achieving fame that he earned respect.

The Heavenly Path was where the strong preyed on the weak. Even when Lin Yun was weak, he made a way for himself by relying on his sword.

Looking at the mockery on Lin Yun’s face, Mo Yan, Mu Ziyi, and Wu Mu realized that Lin Yun couldn’t be reasoned with. Suddenly, the atmosphere became cold and tense from everyone’s clashing aura.

“Don’t push it. You think we’re afraid of a clown like you?” Mo Yan finally became enraged. “Since you’re courting death, I’ll fulfill your wish. Your head is pretty valuable nowadays, so let’s go!”

Mo Yan, Mu Ziyi, and Wu Mu were all experienced and had been accumulating their strength when they talked. Mu Ziyi sneered, “Flower Burial? I’m curious how much strength you can bring out under my array…”

Lin Yun might be famous, but they were able to kill the Gold-furred Demonic Ape after joining forces. So why would they be afraid of Lin Yun? Since they couldn’t resolve this with words, they just needed to kill him.

Mo Yan was right when he said that Lin Yun’s head was extremely valuable. There were bounties from the Bloodbone Realm, plus bounties for the Glorysun Spirit and Lin Yun’s greater dao artifacts.

Mu Ziyi’s eyes flashed with greed, but before he could move, a black figure suddenly appeared. A cold flash made his hair stand because he could feel the terrifying threat. But even in danger, Mu Ziyi was calm and started condensing spiritual runes before him.

But when the black figure took out a dagger, the dagger easily tore apart the spiritual diagram he was forming. Mu Ziyi retreated and was shocked to discover tears in his clothes. He was fortunate that he was wearing a defensive dao artifact or else he would be on the brink of death.

When Mu Ziyi raised his head, he saw that his opponent was actually a black cat. This instantly made him enraged, “You bastard!”

“Hehe.” Lil’ Red chuckled and put away the Void Blade. Then, it retrieved the Blood Viper Whip. Before Mu Ziyi could even attack, Lil’ Red forced Mu Ziyi to roll on the ground to avoid the attack.

Not bad. Lin Yun relaxed when he saw the fight between Lil’ Red and Mu Ziyi. As long as Lil’ Red could keep Mu Ziyi busy, he wouldn’t have to worry about their teamwork. As for the other elites, they were nothing before him despite their numbers. If they dared to interfere in the fight, they would die.

The sudden turn of events had clearly disrupted Mo Yan’s rhythm as he looked at Mu Ziyi furiously. Evidently, Mu Ziyi only knew how to boast. In fact, they nearly failed earlier because of Mu Ziyi. And now, he was actually getting held up by a pet.

As for Wu Mu, he charged straight at Lin Yun. Activating his bloodline, he quickly dashed over. Throwing a punch, he created a sonic boom that made Lin Yun’s clothes flutter in the wind.

“Great!” Lin Yun’s eyes flashed as his hood was torn apart by Wu Mu’s punch. The punch was like the claw of a ferocious beast that tore through space and headed towards Lin Yun’s head.

Thinking about how Wu Mu shattered the Gold-furred Demonic Ape’s head with his dao artifact earlier, one could imagine the aftermath if his punch landed on Lin Yun’s head. But when his punch was two inches away from Lin Yun, his movements became slow from Lin Yu’s sword intent.

When the sword intent around Lin Yun exploded, he clenched his fist and faced Wu Mu’s punch. When the two punches collided, the boundless sword aura around Lin Yun manifested into an azure dragon that tore Wu Mu’s aura apart.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yun and Wu Mu had exchanged over ten punches. However, Lin Yun didn’t even budge no matter how Wu Mu attacked.

“Die!” Mo Yan was stunned before he joined the battle with blazing flames covering him. His aura was like an ocean of flames as his punch unleashed torrential flames that lit up Ash Valley. One had to admit that Mo Yan’s second-grade flame intent was truly impressive.

But Lin Yun stomped and executed the Clouds Soaring Art to dodge Mo Yan’s attack.

“You think you can escape?” Mo Yan sneered. He didn’t believe that Lin Yun could survive with all of them working together. But just when he was about to chase after Lin Yun, Lin Yun waved his hand and the sword box rose from the ground to block Mo Yan.

Mo Yan’s terrifying fist created a huge explosion when it clashed against the sword box. The weight of the Iris Sword Box far exceeded Mo Yan’s expectation and the rebound force made him groan.

In the sky, Lin Yun turned around and waved his hand, “Sword!”

The sword box blocking Mo Yan’s path suddenly opened as countless petals flew out. By the time Lin Yun clenched his hand, he was holding a scabbard with his left hand and a sword hilt with his right.

Lin Yun’s hair started to flutter in the wind as sword rays intertwined. Azure Lotus!

Before Wu Mu could respond, he was sent flying and his defensive dao artifact that withstood the attacks of the Gold-furred Demonic Ape shattered.

Wu Mu threw up blood as he fell to one knee. Ancient runes were revealed on his body when the defensive dao artifact shattered. Half of the crimson light on the runes had already dissipated.

“Let me take the dao artifact and I’ll leave,” said Wu Mu. When Mo Yan heard that, his face became red with rage. After all, he paid Wu Mu 100 divine astral pellets for his help.

Lin Yun stabbed his sword into the ground. With a wave of his hand, the iron staff in the Gold-furred Demonic Ape’s skull flew into his hand. Lin Yun was shocked by the immense weight of the iron staff, but he had no plans to keep it.

Lin Yun threw the staff at Wu Mu. After all, it would be troublesome for him to face Wu Mu and Mo Yan at the same time.

After Wu Mu received the iron staff, he glanced at the Gold-furred Demonic Ape and said, “I don’t need the beast core. If you give me the corpse, I’ll help you deal with Mo Yan.”

Mo Yan couldn’t hold back his anger anymore and roared, “Wu Mu, don’t take it too far! I gave you 100 divine astral pellets. How can you join hands with this trash from the lower realm to fight me?!” 

With a calm expression, Wu Mu replied, “I held up my side of the bargain by killing the Gold-furred Demonic Ape. Who cares if he’s from a lower realm? The Demonic Constellation Realm respects strength.”

Mo Yan was so angry that his body started to tremble. A moment ago, it was three against one. However, he was all by himself now that Wu Mu betrayed him. How could he accept such an outcome?

“That’s a tempting suggestion, but I don’t need your help,” smiled Lin Yun before he looked at Mo Yan with a playful smile.

“What arrogance! I can kill you all by myself! Great Sun Blazing Heaven!” Mo Yan snorted as his killing intent exploded. Pushing his second grade flame intent to the limit, he executed his overlord fortune martial technique. Golden brilliance exploded from his body as he used the same that killed the Gold-furred Demonic Ape.

Quickly, the power of Mo Yan’s strongest attack reached a terrifying level..

“Divine Sun Breaking Seal!” Lin Yun stayed calm as a giant winged human appeared behind him. With the brightness of an exploding sun, he faced Mo Yan’s attack head-on. It looked like a collision between two suns.
