Chapter 363: Chapter 363: I’ll Cripple You Today

The young woman scurried out of the small courtyard. Only then did Senior Brother Zhang finish straightening his clothes. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yun; no one had ever dared to smash down his courtyard gate, especially not at a time like this.

”You’re Senior Brother Zhang?” Lin Yun asked indifferently.

”You knew it was me and you still dared to kick down my door? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Senior Brother Zhang retorted with a sinister chill in his voice.

”Good. Since you are, then I’ll cripple you today.” Lin Yun paid no mind to Senior Brother Zhang’s threat. ’What a joke,’ he thought. ’I came here today to settle a score.’

The moment he finished speaking, Lin Yun threw a punch straight at Senior Brother Zhang. This time, Little Ape didn’t make a move, instead standing on a nearby stone table to watch Lin Yun.

Lin Yun intended to deal with Senior Brother Zhang and his two cronies personally. Once Gong Lingqi and Chang Jing returned, he would find them to settle the final score. Those two were the root of all this.

Lin Yun attacked without another word. Already simmering with anger, Senior Brother Zhang was hardly one to back down. As a genius in the first echelon of Direct Disciples, he was one of the most elite among them.

Their fists collided. Senior Brother Zhang’s disdainful expression instantly turned serious. Lin Yun was only at the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm, while he himself was at the Eighth Layer—and his combat power was even greater than his realm suggested. He never expected that in their first direct clash, Lin Yun wouldn’t be at a disadvantage in the slightest. In fact, it was he who was being completely suppressed, his physical strength utterly overwhelmed by Lin Yun’s.

”Who the hell are you? I’ve never seen you among the Direct Disciples.” The moment they clashed, Senior Brother Zhang knew Lin Yun was no ordinary person. This level of strength was top-tier even among Direct Disciples, yet he had never seen Lin Yun before.

”Who am I? I’m the one who’s here to settle a score with you,” Lin Yun replied coldly, his assault not letting up in the slightest.

As they fought, Senior Brother Zhang’s mind raced. ’Settle a score... settle a score...’ After a dozen breaths, inspiration suddenly struck. There was only one person Lin Yun could be. He immediately demanded an answer.

”You’re Lin Yun?”

”That’s right. Today, I’ll settle the score with the three of you. When Gong Lingqi and Chang Jing get back, I’ll find them to settle the final debt,” Lin Yun declared, radiating killing intent.

”Hmph. If you want to cripple me, let’s see if you have what it takes.” Now knowing Lin Yun’s identity, Senior Brother Zhang pieced together what had happened. His subordinates must have all been crippled by Lin Yun.

With their level of strength, they were no match for Lin Yun. Otherwise, he never would have made it here.

The two battled fiercely in the courtyard, and Lin Yun only grew more valiant as the fight wore on. He was determined to cripple Senior Brother Zhang and his two cronies today. If he didn’t, how could he ever extinguish the fire of rage in his heart?

It had to be said that Senior Brother Zhang was worthy of his status as a first-echelon Direct Disciple. He traded blows evenly with Lin Yun. Even after dozens of exchanges, he hadn’t lost his footing. The two were still locked in a stalemate.

”The Flawless Flesh Body... You actually learned the Flawless Palace’s Supreme Treasure, the Flawless Flesh Body!” He had sensed from the very beginning that Lin Yun’s physical body was extraordinary. After a few more probing exchanges, Senior Brother Zhang was finally certain: Lin Yun had absolutely cultivated the Flawless Flesh Body.

As the Flawless Palace’s supreme Body Refining Technique, cultivating the Flawless Flesh Body required an immense amount of resources. Thus, in the entire Flawless Palace, the only people who could practice it were the ten Core Disciples.

After all, the Flawless Flesh Body not only demanded extremely high aptitude, but its resource requirements were also terrifying. Even a powerhouse like the Flawless Palace couldn’t possibly support too many people cultivating it.

Thus, throughout the generations, there had never been many disciples in the Flawless Palace who could cultivate the Flawless Flesh Body. In Lin Yun’s generation, only those ten Core Disciples were known to be able to practice it.

Even then, not many in the history of the Flawless Palace had ever managed to cultivate the Flawless Flesh Body to an advanced realm. Very few could ever meet its requirements, which only grew more stringent the further one progressed.

Realizing that Lin Yun cultivated the Flawless Flesh Body, Senior Brother Zhang completely abandoned the idea of engaging him in close-quarters combat. To fight hand-to-hand against someone with the Flawless Flesh Body was practically suicide. Across the entire Celestial Spirit Continent, the Flawless Flesh Body was universally acknowledged as a Body Refining Divine Technique.

If not for its extremely harsh requirements, the scarcity of people who could successfully cultivate it, and its terrifying demand for resources, the great powers of the Central Domain would have long since stormed the Flawless Palace to seize the technique for themselves.

Abandoning any plan to fight Lin Yun hand-to-hand, Senior Brother Zhang’s Space Ring flashed, and a War Axe appeared in his hand. This was his Spirit Soldier.

Seeing him draw his Spirit Soldier, Lin Yun also summoned the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. Although Senior Brother Zhang wasn’t as strong as him, Lin Yun couldn’t afford to be careless. The gap between them wasn’t that large, and a single moment of carelessness could lead to an unexpected defeat.

With the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in hand, Lin Yun immediately executed the Red Flame Spear Technique. His attacks grew even more ferocious, and for a time, Senior Brother Zhang could do nothing but passively defend.

The Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear clashed relentlessly against Senior Brother Zhang’s War Axe. This time, Lin Yun’s method was simple. There was no finesse to it—just a direct, frontal assault meant to crush his opponent.

Lin Yun was going to crush Senior Brother Zhang in a head-on confrontation and then cripple him. This time, he was truly enraged.

As the two Spirit Soldiers clashed again and again, the immense force transmitted from the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear made Senior Brother Zhang’s hands begin to tremble. Lin Yun’s strength was simply too savage.

’And this guy is simply taking things too far! He can clearly see I’m on the defensive, yet he keeps attacking head-on, without even thinking of backing off or changing his angle of attack.’

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! The sounds rang out incessantly. Under Lin Yun’s frenzied assault, finally, with one last resonant CRACK, the War Axe in Senior Brother Zhang’s hand was brutally shattered by the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.

Trying to match the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in durability? Its predecessor was the Bone Spear, and its sharpness and hardness had already surpassed the level of a Celestial Spirit Soldier, reaching the realm of a Treasure Soldier. How could Senior Brother Zhang’s mere Spirit Soldier possibly be its match?

With even his Spirit Soldier shattered by brute force, Senior Brother Zhang began to panic. He dodged Lin Yun’s attacks while shouting.

”Lin Yun, do you know where you are? Are you trying to murder a fellow disciple? You should know that if you do this, the Punishment Hall won’t let you off!”

”To hell with the damn Punishment Hall! Surnamed Zhang, not even the Celestial King himself can save you today! I, Lin Yun, am not some pushover you can bully whenever you feel like it. Today, I’ll show you the consequences of provoking me!” Ignoring Senior Brother Zhang’s threat, Lin Yun cursed aloud. Seizing an opportunity, he instantly unleashed the Wind Thunder Triple Flash with his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.

Like a bolt of lightning, the third flash of the Wind Thunder Triple Flash shot forward. Senior Brother Zhang had only just registered a streak of light before Lin Yun’s Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear pierced through his abdomen.

With a fierce heave, Lin Yun threw the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. It carried Senior Brother Zhang, impaled through the abdomen, and viciously pinned him to the courtyard wall.
