Two martial artists at the Profound Understanding Realm pounced from the left and right, their palm strikes fierce, sealing off Lin Yu's escape route.
They clearly wanted to capture Lin Yu alive, so they didn't try to kill him.
A fierce glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. Since there was no way to escape, then he would fight to the death.
Lin Yu circulated his internal energy, preparing himself to face death.
The two martial artists who rushed at him both thought Lin Yu was going to fight to the death, so they changed their moves to avoid getting hurt.
Just as the two martial artists slightly withdrew their moves and subconsciously defended themselves...
A sly glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.
His prepared attack wasn't aimed at any of the martial artists, but rather shot violently towards the wall to one side.
What is he trying to do?!
"Stop! That's an energy conduit!"
The five martial artists' expressions changed drastically instantly, filled with shock and anger.
They never expected that this seemingly desperate young man would be so reckless, turning his attack on energy facilities instead of people.
The bald, burly man reacted the fastest, roaring as he lunged at Lin Yu with lightning speed, his five fingers forming claws, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for Lin Yu's back.
They attempted to stop him before he reached the observation window.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
"Break!" Lin Yu roared, channeling all his strength, along with the alloy battle blade in his hand, into the thick glass observation window.
The alloy sword collided violently with the reinforced glass, producing a teeth-grinding loud noise.
The tip of the blade seemed to have touched the internal energy field. A dark blue arc of electricity shot out along the crack with a crackling sound, striking Lin Yu's hand and numbing half of his body.
"You're courting death!" The other four martial artists' eyes were bloodshot with rage. They no longer cared about capturing him alive or about their equipment. All sorts of ferocious attacks rained down on Lin Yu like a storm.
Using the recoil from the electric arc strike, Lin Yu rolled forward, dodging the five men's attack.
At the same time, he pulled the energy pistol that he had never used from his waist with his left hand.
Without even looking, he aimed at the observation window and the panel of the precision instruments next to it, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several muffled sounds, unlike those of gunpowder weapons, were accompanied by blinding blue energy beams shooting out!
"Oh no!"
"Stop him!"
Amidst the horrified gazes and furious roars of the five warriors, the energy beam struck its target.
"Boom--!"
The violent energy, like a beast breaking free of its cage, gushed out from the breach.
The entire equipment room suddenly shook.
At the same time, the instrument panel that was hit burst into a burst of electric sparks, and a piercing alarm sounded instantly.
"Retreat! Retreat now! The energy is getting out of control!" The bald, burly man roared frantically, his face filled with terror.
The five warriors, like startled rabbits, fled for their lives back through the passage at an even faster pace than when they came.
Lin Yu was also thrown back by the blast wave, crashing heavily into the metal frame behind him. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
But he dared not linger for even a moment; the thing was about to explode.
He endured the excruciating pain and scrambled away, fleeing in the opposite direction from the five martial artists.
He noticed some abandoned metal cans ahead, which would be a good place to take cover.
He had just ducked into cover and curled up.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
An even more deafening explosion came from the core area of the energy station.
The earth trembled violently, and a terrifying shockwave, mixed with scorching air currents, swept across the entire space like a tsunami.
Even though Lin Yu hid inside the metal can, he could still feel as if his back had been hit by a great force, his eardrums went deaf instantly, and all he could see was an endless white light.
It felt as if my consciousness was being torn apart by this force.
All he could do was desperately activate the Primordial Unity Ki Technique, desperately protecting his heart and head, and curling his body up inside the relatively heavy waste container.
I don't know how much time has passed; it may have been just a moment, or it may have been a long century.
The deafening explosion was gradually replaced by a sharp ringing in the ears, and the terrifying white light slowly faded away.
Lin Yu struggled to open his eyes, which were covered in blood and dust, and crawled out of the twisted and deformed waste container.
"Pah!" He spat out the blood in his mouth, and the scene before him was a mess, like hell.
The entire energy station was almost completely destroyed by the explosion.
The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell, along with a faint odor of blood.
Those five martial artists... are probably in grave danger.
"Cough cough!" Lin Yu coughed violently. He felt as if he had suffered a comminuted fracture, and even the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain all over his body.
But he is still alive.
The tenacious vitality and hidden power within him from the "Primordial Unity Ki Technique" saved his life at a critical moment.
He staggered to his feet and looked up in the direction where the ceiling had been.
A huge gaping hole had been blasted open, revealing the dark night sky outside.
The energy shield that originally covered the entire martial arts hall was noticeably different from the surrounding area at the location corresponding to the gap.
The light shield at that location was noticeably dimmer.
"Success..." A sense of relief welled up in Lin Yu's heart, as if he had survived a disaster.
"Ha..." Taking such a risk just to open the protective shield, how ridiculous.
Lin Yu gave a self-deprecating laugh and limped away with difficulty.
The broken steel bars and scorching hot metal edges cut his hands and feet, but he didn't care.
Just as his upper body peeked out of the ceiling opening and breathed in the relatively fresh air outside, a whooshing sound came from afar.
"Who is it this time?" Lin Yu's heart jumped instantly. He had only just had a moment of peace when someone else arrived.
A figure covered in blood, dressed in tattered clothes, yet the bloodlust in his eyes remained terrifying.
The man's precious sword hummed as it shot towards the main building like a meteor.
Several sharp beams of light were chasing after him, but he narrowly avoided them all. When there was no way to avoid them, he took them head-on.
It was Zhao Yan. Upon recognizing the person, Lin Yu had just crawled out, instantly wanted to shrink back in.
Even Grandmaster like Zhao Yan was hunted down; it's better for me to stay out of the way.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yan spotted Lin Yu climbing out of the gap in the ruins at a glance, as well as the dim and chaotic protective shield above Lin Yu's head.
A flicker of surprise crossed his blood-red eyes, which quickly turned into admiration.
"Kid! Well done!" Zhao Yan's hoarse voice sounded like a broken bellows, clearly indicating that he too had suffered serious injuries.
But its momentum remains wild.
He suddenly accelerated, like a streak of blood-red lightning, instantly rushing above Lin Yu. His left hand reached out and grabbed Lin Yu's collar by the back of his neck like an iron clamp.
"Walk!"
Zhao Yan let out a low shout, and with his right hand, he aimed his precious sword at the gap in the protective barrier, gathering his last bit of strength to unleash a tragic and resolute blood-red blade of light.
"Open it for me!"
The already fragile and unstable protective shield was torn apart like paper by this attack, leaving a gaping hole several meters wide.
Zhao Yan grabbed Lin Yu, transformed into a streak of blood-red light, flashed out from the gap, and instantly disappeared into the night sky outside the martial arts hall.
All that remained were the towering flames of the Golden Bull Martial Arts School behind them and the tattered energy shield.
The night wind howled, carrying the stench of blood and burnt flesh.
Outside, the city's neon lights continued to flash, seemingly indifferent to the chaos in this area.
