Crossing the Heavenly Chasm

Gongsun Yang and his group acted recklessly at the entrance of Lin Family Mountain and were beaten up, but now they are demanding an explanation from the Lin Family. The Lihuo Sect is truly extremely domineering.

Lin Qiao's chubby face twitched a few times, but she didn't reply.

Beside the elder of the Lihuo Sect, an elder from the Shentu Family said, "Brother Gongsun, let's settle the score with the Lin family later. Let's capture this brat first, take him back, and interrogate him thoroughly!"

As the elder of the Shentu Family spoke, his eyes darted around, revealing that he was already harboring wicked thoughts.

Yi Yun, a native of the South China Sea islands, could so easily defeat Gongsun Yang. He found this unbelievable, but the facts were undeniable, and he had no choice but to believe it. Therefore, he suspected that this native might have found some extraordinary opportunity in the South China Sea islands.

It's not surprising that martial artists possess extraordinary opportunities; in fact, most of the geniuses in the Tianyuan Realm carry some secrets.

Generally, important figures wouldn't covet opportunities from younger generations; however, not everyone has such a bottom line.

Moreover, this elder of the Shentu Family, if you really want to talk about it, can't be considered a big figure. Although his cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Kaiyuan Realm, he is already quite old and has exhausted his potential. He is unlikely to even reach the late stage of the Kaiyuan Realm, let alone become Emperor.

At this moment, Yi Yun suddenly appeared. He hailed from the South China Sea, but possessed remarkable strength. This piqued his interest; what if he could find some treasure on this young man?

We should take Yi Yun back and torture him to extract a confession. Even if Yi Yun doesn't have any treasures, it doesn't matter. He's just a genius junior with no background who came from the barren lands of the South China Sea. Killing him won't cause any future trouble.

"Hmm? You mean..." The elder of the Lihuo Sect realized what the elder of the Shentu Family was thinking.

"Hehe, take him back and torture him severely. If that doesn't work, we'll use some Soul Searching techniques. Maybe he'll find some treasure for me? Then we'll split it equally among the three of us."

Elder Shentu casually remarked that he was a greedy man. Although he coveted the treasures on Yi Yun's Yi Yun, he never considered whether those treasures were so valuable that they would cause the three of them to kill each other.

"Hmm, that's fine!" The elder of the Lihuo Sect had a gloomy face. He touched his Space Ring with one hand, and a murderous intent had already formed in his heart.

"Lin Qiao, my disciple from the Lihuo Sect got into trouble at the gate of your Lin Family Mountain. I was originally going to settle this score with you, but today I'm too lazy to bother, so I'll let it go. I'm taking this barbarian from the South Sea with me."

The elders of the Lihuo Sect were pressing their advantage, and at this moment, the Lin family disciples became anxious.

Previously, Yi Yun's move to severely injure Gongsun Yang could be considered as relieving the Lin family's predicament and giving them a chance to vent their anger.

It could be said that Yi Yun stood up for them.

But now, how can they just stand by and watch Yi Yun be taken away on their own turf?

"Elder Qiao, stop them quickly!"

"Yes, that kid from the South China Sea saved Senior Disciple Sister Qing. You can ignore us being bullied, but now that outsiders are standing up for us, are you just going to watch him get crippled by that old bastard from the Lihuo Sect?"

A straightforward young man from the Lin family said with dissatisfaction. He knew that Lin Qiao had always been at the mountain gate, and he could see everything that was happening here clearly, but he would not come out unless absolutely necessary.

At this moment, Lin Qiao was also feeling bitter.

He certainly didn't want it to be this way; it was something he was told to do from above.

Why did he encounter such bad luck when it was his turn to oversee the mountain gate? He had already reported the sudden appearance of this genius from the South China Sea to his superiors. In fact, given how close they were, even without reporting it, if things escalated, experts from the Lin family would have arrived.

Now all I need to do is stall for time. If this kid from the South China Sea is really taken away, people will say that the Lin family is utterly spineless. Not only are their own Lineage members being bullied, but even when others stand up for them, they get beaten to death, while the Lin family just stands by and does nothing.

This is a huge blow to the Lin family's reputation.

Just then, the elder of the Lihuo Sect suddenly turned around and said to another elder behind him, "Junior brother, cripple this little beast!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in black behind him immediately attacked!

At the same time, the elders of the Lihuo Sect and the Shentu Family rushed directly towards Lin Qiao!

Lin Qiao is the strongest among the four, but even the two of them working together are enough to hold him off.

They planned to use swift and decisive measures to cripple Yi Yun and forcibly take him away!

"Um?"

Lin Qiao's expression changed. He watched as the two elders attacked together, their offensive like a surging tide. Behind him were younger members of the Lin family. He could neither dodge nor retreat; he had no choice but to meet them head-on.

At this moment, the last elder of the Lihuo Sect had already reached Yi Yun. He spread his arms, and a terrifying suction force erupted from his body. The surrounding sand, gravel, and even the bamboo in the distance were all swept up by this suction force, forming a large vortex!

Yi Yun's body was enveloped in the vortex and was momentarily lifted off the ground.

Devouring Law?

Yi Yun was startled. The Devouring Law was an extremely rare law in the Tianyuan Realm, and once mastered, it possessed immense power.

Unexpectedly, this old man, whose potential had been exhausted and who would be stuck at the mid-stage of the Kaiyuan Realm for life, actually possessed such methods.

As expected, no expert at the Kaiyuan Realm should be underestimated!

However, when faced with the attack of the Devouring Law, a surge of boiling fighting spirit flashed in Yi Yun's eyes.

He stabilized his body amidst the turbulent energy flow, forcefully retreating!

"Sizzle!"

Yi Yun's Protective Vital Energy, along with his upper body clothing, was torn apart by the devouring power, revealing his well-defined muscles.

The force tore at his flesh, causing a searing pain, yet Yi Yun let out a long, exhilarating roar that pierced the heavens.

"Clang!"

With a roar, Yi Yun drew his Tang Saber and unleashed a devastating slash that split mountains and cleaved seas!

This strike incorporated the sword intent that Yi Yun had comprehended in the Blade Tomb, and combined it with the sword techniques of the Pure Yang Sword Palace. It can be said that it was a sword technique entirely belonging to Yi Yun.

Unrivaled in the way of the sword, advancing without hesitation!

"Snap!"

Yi Yun slashed at the devouring vortex of the Lihuo Sect elder with his sword, and a violent energy collision erupted, causing the energy gathered by the Lihuo Sect elder to explode!

What!?

The middle-aged man in the black shirt was terrified; for a moment, his mind went blank.

He is an elder of a top-tier power in the Tianyuan Realm. Even if he is just an Outer Elder, he absolutely cannot be confronted head-on by a junior!

How could a sect elder be unable to defeat a junior?!

What exactly is this kid from the South China Sea's cultivation level? Is he really just Dao Seed Realm martial artist?

He didn't have time to think it through. At that moment, after breaking through the devouring vortex, Yi Yun turned his blade and thrust it straight at the throat of the middle-aged man in black!

"Court death!"

Being forced to this point by a junior, the Lihuo Sect was both ashamed and furious!

He mustered his strength, and a long staff appeared in his hand like a ghost. He held the staff with both hands and slammed it down heavily on Yi Yun's long sword!

Using a staff against a knife, the staff naturally had an advantage, but Yi Yun's knife strikes were unstoppable, like a raging torrent, pouring down without any gaps, making it impossible to defend against!

"Boom!"

Like a thunderclap, Yi Yun's sword energy slashed heavily at the Protective Vital Energy of the Lihuo Sect elder.

A terrifying shock surged forth, and rampant Yuan Qi rushed into the body. With cracking sounds, the Protective Vital Energy of the Lihuo Sect elder began to shatter!

Bang!

His vital energy shattered, the blade pierced his body, and a spurt of blood splattered out.

The elder of the Lihuo Sect groaned and staggered back more than ten steps. He clutched the wound on his chest with one hand and used his long staff to brace himself against the ground, smashing through a boulder before regaining his footing!

"How... how could this be?"

The elder of the Lihuo Sect looked at Yi Yun in disbelief.

At this moment, Yi Yun held a blood-stained Tang Saber. His upper body clothes were mostly torn, revealing his perfect muscle lines. There were blood streaks on his chest and abdomen, left by the Devouring Law tearing his muscles.

In their previous exchange, he withstood the Devouring Law head-on, concentrating his power on the blade and annihilating his enemy with a single strike!

Although Yi Yun didn't gain much advantage in this encounter, he was fighting against a veteran master.

This is Yi Yun's first direct confrontation with an elder from a top-tier power in the Tianyuan Realm!

He not only didn't lose, but he actually gained an advantage!

How could the Lihuo Sect and Lin family members around not be astonished by this scene!

Especially for the younger generation, the Lineage elders are separated from them by an insurmountable chasm. Yet now, this young man from the South China Sea has actually crossed this insurmountable barrier, injuring a senior expert with the strength of a member of the younger generation. Is this really true?

Not to mention the juniors present, even Lin Qiao, along with the two elders from the Lihuo Sect and the Shentu Family, were stunned for a moment and forgot to continue fighting.

Yi Yun's attack this time was truly shocking; the younger generation is now competing with the older generation!

"Is he really a junior?"

Some people said in disbelief, "Some people have special cultivation techniques and know how to preserve their youth. They can look like teenagers even after tens of thousands of years. Some people suspect that Yi Yun is the same."

However, Lin Qiao rejected this claim, as he knew very well that Yi Yun's strength was only at the Dao Seed Realm.

If an old fellow who has lived for thousands of years has the strength to fight against a cultivator at the Kaiyuan level, how could he possibly remain only at the Dao Seed Realm? He would probably have become Emperor long ago!

This shows that he really is just a junior!

Yi Yun gently touched the blood on the blade, a smile appearing on his face. "So this is the blood of a sage..."

The Kaiyuan Realm... This is equivalent to a sage of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom!

And now, his own blade is stained with the blood of such a person!

Yi Yun looked at the streak of blood, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

When he was in Yunhuang, he was still desperately cultivating for a spot in the Brocade Dragon Guard, and was driven to the brink of death by Lian Chengyu several times.

At that time, sages were like myths to Yi Yun, unattainable.

But now, I have the ability to fight against sages! (To be continued~^~)
