Chapter 828: Consecutive Kills_2
Yun Firestone exchanged a glance with the saint-strong individuals of the Eternal and Aolai Families and transmitted his thoughts secretly.
Previously, they had been afraid of the sheer number of saint-strong individuals in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, and whether there was a risk of being dragged down with them in a fall. Now, their fear had lessened.
Their three great families' warriors, each possessed a foundation not found in average forces, combined with a spiritual treasure that could influence the realm of the saint-strong individuals. So, even if the saint-strong individuals of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were to drag someone down as they fell, it was likely not going to be them.
It would be best if the saint-strong individuals of the Immortal Origin Holy Land dragged down the realms aside from their three great families. That way, when it came time to divide the opportunities of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, they could obtain a larger share.
Even, this thought arose in their hearts.
With such thoughts, their mood gradually improved.
"Boom! Boom!"
They attacked Lin Yun with even more confidence and a more relaxed posture. At this moment, they no longer were so eager to quickly slay Lin Yun. After all, he wasn't their primary target.
Perhaps they could take their time killing Lin Yun and lure the saint-strong individuals of the Immortal Origin Holy Land to them first.
"Hehe..."
Facing off against nine saint realms, Lin Yun fell completely into a disadvantage, his body sustaining serious injuries as he soon let out a wry laugh.
At this rate, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
"You all are seeking death!"
Suddenly, Lin Yun turned his head and shouted furiously towards a certain direction.
It was the direction in which Modan, Can, and Xia Qingqing were retreating. Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang, four of the top Super Warriors, were pursuing them for the kill.
Finally, Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang overcame their fear of Lin Yun and began chasing Modan, Can, and their group.
They believed that with Lin Yun being targeted by nine saint-strong individuals, he was as good as dead and certainly had no energy to deal with them.
Modan, Can, Xia Qingqing, and their group were clearly individuals Lin Yun cared deeply for. The nine saint realms had been unable to defeat Lin Yun; if their attack on Modan, Can, and Xia Qingqing's group could distract Lin Yun, it would allow for his rhythm to be disrupted, granting the saint realms a quicker victory over him.
In that case, they could claim considerable credit in this war.
Should they later seize the Immortal Origin Holy Land, perhaps they could also gain a significant opportunity and break through to the realm of the saint-strong individuals, standing truly at the pinnacle of the universe.
With such thoughts, they began their assault on Modan, Can, and Xia Qingqing's group.
"Boom—"
However, they hadn't anticipated that Lin Yun would actually manage to evade the nine saint-strong individuals and find the opportunity to engage them.
They had underestimated Lin Yun's ability to escape...
After the seventy-second floor of the Heavenly Principle Tower, Lin Yun was not strong, and every combatant he encountered had the power to overwhelmingly crush him. He even faced two or three such powers at the same time.
Once, twice, thrice, numerous times.
They couldn't imagine how such an environment could have honed Lin Yun's escape abilities to be so formidable.
At the very least, he had no problem temporarily disengaging from the fight against nine saint realms.
After all, the nine saint-strong individuals weren't working in unison, and it was best to exploit such flaws in their cooperation.
"Not good!"
"Run!"
The faces of Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang, four of the top Super Warriors, suddenly changed, and they cried out in shock.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, they immediately turned and fled towards the distance at high speed.
But it was too late.
Compared to when Lin Yun killed Ao Firestone and Shan Firestone, Lin Yun's power had increased significantly after the Bloodthirsty Sword absorbed and refined a massive amount of blood energy. Plus, Lin Yun had been reserving energy in anticipation of the possibility of facing other saint-strong individuals, so he hadn't used too much force against Nan Eternal, Aolai Minglang, and the others.
Now, he had given up on targeting other saint-strong individuals, focusing most of his power on dealing with Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang.
"Bang! Bang..."
Two muffled sounds rang out, and alongside Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang, one top Super Warrior from both the Eternal and Aolai Families fell, blooming like blood flowers in the starry sky.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Simultaneously, the Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun's hand vibrated rapidly, instantly sweeping away the blood mist.
Without any pause, Lin Yun continued his attack on the remaining Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang.
"Lin Yun, spare us!"
"Ancestor, save us!"
Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang screamed in terror.
At this moment, they deeply regretted their actions, feeling how death was so close to them. They regretted attacking the individuals close to Lin Yun; had they known this would be their end, they certainly would not have taken action.
What credit were they trying to earn?
No matter how great their achievements, can they really be more important than their own lives?
They already knew Lin Yun was extremely powerful, so why did they still cling to a sliver of hope?
"Hmph!"
Lin Yun sneered mockingly.
Spare their lives?
When these people dealt with those around him, why didn't they think that this would be the outcome?
Now that they knew, they regretted it and wanted him to spare their lives?
Damn it, does such an easy way out exist in this world?
And those enemies behind him, those beings at the saintly level...
He truly wished his power would surge, giving him the strength to slay those at the saintly level!
Then he'd see if these saintly beings would also beg for mercy!
Damn it, who had he offended? These people could just attack the Immortal Origin Holy Land, so why did they have to go after him? Once, twice, thrice, each enemy stronger than the last... it filled him with resentment that had no outlet.
Clearly, he had no real connection with the Immortal Origin Holy Land, in fact, he even had grudges against many people there, right?
Why attack him? Why?
"Could this be retribution?"
In the end, Lin Yun couldn't help but wryly smile in his heart.
Previously, when they first ventured into the cosmos, they frequently escaped danger thanks to the baseless reputation of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
Now, was it their turn to take the fall for the Immortal Origin Holy Land?
"Enough! Enough! Enough! If it were not for the fame of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, we might have perished long ago. Now, we are merely giving our lives back..." Lin Yun sighed inwardly, thinking to himself.
However... if there was even the slightest chance of survival for those around him, he did not want to give up!
Lin Yun looked up, his gaze following Modan and Shengyi as they retreated into the distance, a gleam flashing deep within his eyes.
The next moment, his gaze shifted back to Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang.
"Die!"
He uttered hoarsely.
Whoosh!
In an instant, his body flashed beside Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang.
"Bang! Bang..."
With a swing of the Bloodthirsty Sword, two more blooms of blood erupted.
"Hum!"
The Bloodthirsty Sword then swept up the two blooms of blood into the sky.
With this, the six top Super Warriors from the three great families had all perished.
"Stop!"
"Nan Eternal..."
"Aolai Minglang..."
"Lin Yun, you're courting death..."
On the other side, two saintly warriors from the Eternal Family and the Aolai Family quickly gave chase towards Lin Yun, roaring in rage as they saw him kill Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang, their faces turning a deathly pale.
Top Super Warriors of the fourth level of the Super realm were the pinnacle of their families' fighting force aside from the saintly warriors, very rare and incredibly important to them. If they had the chance to gain the fortunes of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, they hoped to cultivate them into beings of the saintly level as well.
No one can face many adversaries with just two fists; such power would not only favorably affect the future development of their family's power but also greatly benefit themselves.
Now, seeing Lin Yun kill two top Super Warriors from both their families, their dreams shattered, how could they not be furious?
On the contrary, a gleam of understanding flashed in Yun Firestone's eyes from the Firestone Family, as he couldn't help but let a small smile creep onto his face.
When Lin Yun had previously cut down Ao Firestone and Shan Firestone from his family, wasn't he angry? Together with Wei Firestone who had perished earlier, their Firestone Family had lost all but one of their top Super Warriors, a massive loss!
The Eternal Family and the Aolai Family, who had also taken action, hadn't lost a single warrior of that caliber, which made it hard for him to feel at peace.
Yet, faced with the powerful Lin Yun, they had no choice but to unite forces.
However, he could sense the schadenfreude in the hearts of the saintly warriors from the Eternal Family and Aolai Family.
Now, seeing that both the Eternal Family and the Aolai Family had also lost two top Super Warriors each, his heart couldn't help but secretly feel pleased.
Actually, when he had seen Lin Yun make a move on Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang, he felt an urge to hold them back but Lin Yun's strength was even greater than he had imagined.
Before he could act on this impulse, Nan Eternal and Aolai Minglang had already been slain.
