Seeing that the guard with the chains was unyielding, Lin Yu had no other choice.
Moreover, he had treated this guy with courtesy before, but the other party's attitude towards him was not even polite. If this were during the Three Thousand Immortal Realms period, Lin Yu would have been unable to sit still long ago.
"I only showed mercy before because I needed your help. Since you insist on this, I won't be so polite from now on," Lin Yu said calmly, his gaze falling on the guard holding the chains, devoid of any warmth.
"Hmph, bring it on!" the guard with the chains said arrogantly.
Upon hearing the guard holding the chains' reply, the high priest in black robes standing to the side silently covered his face.
Although they looked completely different, for some reason, looking at the stubborn look of this guard holding the chain, he couldn't help but think of the young man at Phoenix Tomb!
But the guard holding the chain isn't young, so why is he still acting so immature?
The high priest in black robes said nothing, but he was already silently mourning for the other person.
"System, deduce the basic attributes of this guard!" Lin Yu summoned the system in his mind.
Dealing with the guard with the chain was easy, but Lin Yu was worried that he might have some other protective gear.
After all, such arrogance would be unacceptable without any real resources.
Moreover, looking at the other party's confident demeanor, as if they had completely forgotten how easily they had been beaten by him just moments before, Lin Yu Lin Yu n't help but wonder if the other party was some kind of emotionless puppet.
As for puppets, Lin Yu was like someone who had been bitten by a snake once and was now afraid of ropes for ten years!
He hadn't forgotten that the reason he came to this unfortunate Dao Qi era was because he was persecuted by puppets, so Lin Yu had to be careful, careful, and even more careful!
"Ding! Deduction successful! (Click to view details...)" the system notification sounded.
"View details!" Lin Yu replied immediately.
To Lin Yu's disappointment, the other party turned out to be just an "ordinary" cultivator!
Of course, this "ordinary" level is relative to Lin Yu. For an ordinary cultivator, achieving this level would be quite impressive.
However, Lin Yu was prejudiced from the start, and seeing the other party's confident demeanor, he couldn't help but feel that the other party had some hidden tricks up their sleeve.
"Hmph, take this!" Just then, the guard with the chains charged forward, seemingly unafraid of death.
He swung an iron chain with great force, leaving afterimages that tore through the surrounding space.
Such terrifying power didn't even make Lin Yu flinch.
"Boring..." Lin Yu uttered two words, then slowly raised his hand.
"Boom!"
Just like the previous attacks, it was still a single palm strike.
The sound was still deafening, but this time Lin Yu showed no mercy to the guard holding the chains.
He struck the other man directly with a palm, and the guy who had just been swaggering at Lin Yu was sent flying in an instant, looking quite disheveled.
"Call out..."
The guard holding the chains was practically a shooting star; had the cave not been so small, he would have vanished into the sky.
In short, Lin Yu ultimately sent his opponent flying with just a simple palm strike.
With a "thud," the guard who had just been spouting arrogant words and holding chains collapsed to the ground, seemingly without any injuries, but his breath was extremely weak.
This is absolute suppression of strength.
The black-robed high priest. "..."
He silently covered his face again.
Crushing, this is utter crushing, it doesn't even qualify as destruction.
How much of his strength did Lin Yu unleash in that attack? The black-robed high priest didn't know, but judging from Lin Yu's nonchalant demeanor, that level of attack was clearly nothing to him!
Complete and overwhelming strength is far superior to any fancy moves.
Even though the guard holding the chains should have been remembering the enemy, for some reason, seeing him lying on the ground, the black-robed high priest felt a sliver of sympathy for him!
Was that guard with the chain weak? Actually, he wasn't!
Among the countless masters in the Netherworld Immortal Realm, he is one of the top figures, and is certainly no ordinary person.
However, his mistake was being complacent and self-satisfied. Just because he had already defeated all the opponents in the Netherworld Immortal Realm, he thought he had no rivals in the entire world.
At such an advanced age, they still don't understand the meaning of "there are always people more capable than you, and mountains beyond mountains."
Of course, the black-robed high priest knew that it wasn't really the little guy's fault at all, since Lin Yu's strength was simply too heaven-defying!
If we had to pinpoint what the guard did wrong, it would be that he hadn't heard of Lin Yu before!
Upon closer inspection of the chains on the other person's hands, it appears to be a type of Source Technique, not an ordinary chain.
What's truly peculiar is that the chains are covered with an extremely faint amount of spiritual energy.
However, the spiritual energy on them is merely a facade. The truly terrifying aspect of the chains is that they contain countless spirits of the dead. These spirits were clearly sealed inside by cultivators after their deaths, in order to increase their resentment.
The chains killed him with resentment, but unfortunately, he encountered Lin Yu.
If such chains were to strike pure elemental power, especially pure lightning power, they would be nothing at all.
And coincidentally, Lin Yu was a master of the power of thunder.
However, Lin Yu knew that even if he gave this guy a hundred more chances, he would still win in the end.
The resentment of the dead can only affect cultivators with weak minds, but Lin Yu's soul power is extremely strong, far beyond what ordinary cultivators can compare to.
Moreover, Lin Yu's strength far surpasses that of his opponent; as long as he suppresses him with his strength, the opponent will have no chance to retaliate.
The black-robed high priest said, "I feel like I'm standing here a bit superfluous."
Hearing the black-robed high priest muttering to himself, Lin Yu smiled helplessly and didn't take it to heart. Actually, it was fortunate that the black-robed high priest hadn't made a move just now. If he had been accidentally struck by the other party's chains, he would have had to find a way to save him.
When faced with danger, the best approach is to stay quietly to the side and not get in the way of your fight.
"Uh... uh... uh..."
A faint groan came from the guard holding the chains as he struggled to his feet.
Although Lin Yu had only struck with one palm, he was already struggling to stand up. Even so, he still stood in the way of the cave entrance.
