Cosmic Trading System

Ao Firestone slightly furrowed his brow.

He was aware of the trade between Chu Lee and Meteor Saint.

Now, with Lin Yun having sustained only such minor damage, could his talent really have been impaired to the extent discussed in the deal between Meteor Saint and Chu Lee?

As he pondered this, a heavy thought began to stir in Ao Firestone's mind.

Soon, his decision firmed up.

Since it was uncertain whether Lin Yun had been injured to that extent, he would have him continue and complete the task.

"Boom—"

Ao Firestone unleashed a series of powerful energy claws, each one striking fiercely towards Lin Yun's body.

"What?"

"What is this?"

Many onlookers were shocked by the scene before them.

Even though the God Devouring Knife and the Devil Sound Bell were still on Lin Yun, didn't this stance seem as though he was not merely trying to retrieve the God Devouring Knife and the Devil Sound Bell?

"Damn it!"

Lin Yun looked at Ao Firestone with both shock and fury, never expecting that the other party would dare to launch such a mighty attack on him in public!

This wasn't about simply taking the God Devouring Knife and Devil Sound Bell from him—this was treating him like an enemy in battle!

Or perhaps, Ao Firestone believed that to take the God Devouring Knife and Devil Sound Bell from him, he had to defeat him first?

Regardless, he now had to face an extremely powerful enemy…

"Boom! Boom! Booming thunder!"

However, Lin Yun was far outmatched in strength, and his layers of full-strength defenses were quickly seized by a giant claw, shattered as if they were decayed wood, followed by successive powerful forces striking his body.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Lin Yun's body kept retreating.

"Spit—spit—spit—"

At the same time, he kept spewing mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"Brother!"

"Lin Yun!"

"Brother Lin!"

Xiao Chong and his group exclaimed in alarm.

Whoosh—

They all rushed towards Lin Yun.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the same time, powerful auras surged from them, rapidly covering the area where Lin Yun and Ao Firestone were fighting.

Even though they knew that their strength was negligible compared to Ao Firestone's attacks, seeing Lin Yun being attacked so viciously for no apparent reason, they could not stand idly by.

"Ao Brother, isn't this a bit too much…"

"Ao Brother, please show some mercy…"

On the other side, the Black Dragon King and Lord of All were also startled by the spectacle, hastily speaking out.

However, they too merely voiced their concern without actually intervening.

Just as when Chu Lee had made his move against Lin Yun, they hadn't helped Chu Lee to attack Lin Yun.

Because Lin Yun had a powerful background, and though they didn't want to offend Chu Lee, they equally did not want to offend Lin Yun.

Now it was the same, Ao Firestone had a powerful background, and they did not wish to offend Ao Firestone either.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants daring to meddle in this matter? Truly ignorant of life and death!" However, Ao Firestone paid no attention to the persuasion of the Black Dragon King and Lord of All. Seeing Xiao Chong and his group make a move, he let out a cold snort and said indifferently.

"Boom—"

The next moment, a powerful force was unleashed from his other hand, quickly enveloping Xiao Chong and his companions.

"Not good!"

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Chong's expression drastically changed as he exclaimed.

This man's strength was terrifying. As a Super Warrior, possessing an Undying Body was one matter, but for Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Qing Luo, Emma White, and others who were merely ordinary Cultivators, if they were hit by such a powerful attack, it was very likely they would face the peril of death.

"Bang!"

Thinking this way, Xiao Chong immediately burned the essence within his body, forcefully moving himself a distance forward, placing his body in front of Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Qing Luo, Emma White, and the others.

"Smack—"

The next instant, a formidable force struck Xiao Chong hard. All defenses rapidly crumbled as Xiao Chong's body was shattered in an instant, flung backward like a cannonball, with the blood of a Super Warrior wildly splashing across the starry sky.

Lin Yun's strength was close to that of a third-tier Super Warrior in the Super Realm.

Xiao Chong was merely a newly advanced Super Warrior in the Super Realm, and his strength was even less than that of an average Super Warrior. The gap between his power and that of Ao Firestone was too great.

"What!"

"A Super Warrior, seriously injured by a single move!"

Around them, countless ordinary Cultivators who witnessed this scene were all deeply shocked.

In their eyes, all Super Warriors were extraordinary beings, with hardly any significant differences. Now, seeing a Super Warrior seriously injured by another with just one move, how could they not be shocked?

The fact that they could be present at this grand tournament meant they were also figures fairly close to the core level of the cosmos. They had vaguely heard that among Super Warriors, there were strong and weak ones.

But this moment made them truly realize the disparity between Super Warriors.

Earlier, Lin Yun and some of the competitors, although reaching the level of Super Warriors and even the second tier of the Super Realm, Lin Yun's bout with Ao Firestone reached the extent of a third-tier Super Realm encounter.

In the end, Lin Yun killing Ao Firestone was exceptionally thrilling.

But Lin Yun, Ao Firestone, and those monstrous prodigies, were after all, only at the Half Step Super Realm.

This revelation still lacked something for them.

Xiao Chong, however, was a bona fide Super Warrior.

"You dare to forcefully block someone else's attack for them? Since you're so eager to be attacked, I'll oblige!" However, after Xiao Chong was severely injured, Ao Firestone did not stop his assault. With a cold laugh, he said.

Amid his words, he flipped his palm once again, sending an even more powerful attack towards Xiao Chong.

An Firestone was a genius who had not been easily cultivated by their family. Even in the history of their family, he was notable, and as long as An Firestone broke through to the Super Realm, he would become another leading Super Warrior for their family.

As a result, he was killed by Lin Yun, which caused him great pain and fury.

However, given Lin Yun's identity, coupled with the ongoing competition, Ao Firestone, while bold in his actions, still had some reservations.

Some of Lin Yun's subordinates, to his knowledge, also had relationships with Immortal Origin Holy Land, which made him hesitate about whether to eradicate them while they participated in this tournament.

Meteor Ancestor had some plans involving Immortal Origin Holy Land, and he feared that if he killed these people, and the plans were affected, it would not be good.

All these feelings generated a sense of frustration within him.

At that moment, he saw Xiao Chong daring to block his attack for others.

Xiao Chong, he knew of him. Although Xiao Chong associated with Lin Yun, he had no affiliation whatsoever with Immortal Origin Holy Land and was merely a friend Lin Yun had made during his cosmic travels, having just broken through to the Super Realm!

The suppressed rage in his heart immediately erupted!

He, a top Super Warrior at the fourth tier of the Super Realm, was normally treated with respect by ordinary Super Warriors, who did not even dare to look him in the eye!

A mere junior who had just entered the Super Realm, without any background, dared to intervene in his affairs... truly ignorant of life and death! Ignorant of life and death!

Since you are ignorant of life and death, then go and die!

A cold gleam flashed across Ao Firestone's eyes.
