Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Slaughter Before the City Gate

Grasping the man’s neck with one hand, Lin Yun coldly scanned the other five. The man in his grip struggled ceaselessly, but he discovered that against Lin Yun, he was like a helpless child, completely unable to break free from his arm.

”Kid, let him go right now, or else...” the Mo Family leader threatened Lin Yun. However, Lin Yun cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

”Or else you’ll see to it I die without a burial ground, is that it? If you think you’ve got what it takes, then by all means, come and get me.” Lin Yun appeared completely at ease, showing none of the terror the Mo Family members had expected.

As he finished speaking, Lin Yun glanced at the man dangling from his hand. A cold sneer touched his lips as he murmured, as if to himself, ”Since you want to kill me, then you should also be prepared to be killed by me.”

As he spoke, the smile on Lin Yun’s face grew colder. Feeling the killing intent radiating from Lin Yun, the man finally cast aside the arrogance of a Mo Family Guard and hurriedly begged for mercy. ”We’re just following orders! Let me go, let me go...”

”Kid, let him go, and we can...” The leader, also sensing Lin Yun’s killing intent, hurriedly tried to speak. But before he was halfway through his sentence, Lin Yun squeezed slightly, effortlessly crushing the man’s throat.

He tossed the corpse aside casually. No one could have imagined Lin Yun would actually dare to kill him. It had been years since anyone in Jincheng had so brazenly challenged the Mo Family’s authority.

”You... killed him?” The Mo Family leader was momentarily too stunned to process what had happened.

The scene fell deathly silent. Things had now escalated completely. A Mo Family Guard had been killed—the Mo Family would certainly not let this rest. After all, the Mo Family reigned supreme in Jincheng, with no other family or power capable of threatening their position.

Reigning supreme without threat meant the Mo Family’s authority was inviolable. For someone like Lin Yun to kill a Mo Family Guard in front of a crowd of thousands—the Mo Family would surely never let the matter rest.

”You actually dared to kill him?” the Mo Family leader demanded, looking at Lin Yun in disbelief.

”I already killed him. What’s the point in asking if I ’dared’ to?” Lin Yun replied nonchalantly.

The Mo Family had come to ambush and kill Lin Yun. They never expected that not only would Lin Yun be completely fine, but one of their own would be the first to die. In an instant, not just the remaining Mo Family Guards, but also the city gate guards swarmed in, all of them staring at Lin Yun as if facing a formidable foe.

Over a hundred people surrounded Lin Yun, but in his eyes, they were nothing more than a disorganized mob. Aside from the five Mo Family Guards who had some real strength, these city guards were no different from ants.

Most of the city guards were in the Qi Sea Realm. The squad leaders might have reached the Primordial Ocean Realm, but they were only at the Early Stage; none had reached the Middle Stage.

”I have just arrived in Jincheng,” Lin Yun said. ”I am here on behalf of the Flawless Palace to offer congratulations for the Mo Family’s young miss on her birthday. Bring her here, and she can verify my identity.”

Hearing this, one of the Mo Family Guards bellowed, ”Insolence! Do you think our young miss is someone you can meet just by asking? Enough talk! We will kill you here and now to uphold the might of the Mo Family!”

At the Mo Family Guard’s words, the hundred-plus city guards tightened their grips on their weapons, each one preparing to attack.

’Honestly, I don’t want to kill them. They’re far too weak, and they’re just following orders.’

But if they insisted on attacking, he wouldn’t hold back. ’You can’t just let someone kill you without fighting back.’

”I’ll say this one last time,” Lin Yun said coolly. ”Stand aside, or don’t blame me for what happens next.”

Lin Yun’s final warning had no effect. At the command of the Mo Family Guard, hundreds of Qi Sea Realm guards charged at Lin Yun, intent on killing him.

Watching these guards, whose cultivation was only at the Qi Sea Realm, the expression on Lin Yun’s face grew colder. ’It really is just as the saying goes: pathetic people always have a detestable side.’

”If you won’t listen, then I’ll kill you until you do,” he roared coldly. Unleashing his Black Steel Tyrant Fist, he threw a single punch, and a Qi Sea Realm guard was instantly blown to bits.

Not even a corpse remained; the guard had been reduced to a mist of blood. The thick, coppery smell filled the air, and for a moment, the charging guards, who had been screaming for blood just seconds before, all froze in place.

These guards were not Lin Yun’s target. Having shocked them into a standstill, he executed Inch Step, weaving through the crowd to appear before the five Mo Family Guards in an instant.

Seeing Lin Yun charge at them, the five Mo Family Guards immediately joined forces to counter. The power Lin Yun had just shown made it clear that none of them could face him alone; their only hope was to fight together.

But even then, they had underestimated him. Lin Yun’s current combat power was already on par with a Core Disciple from the Six Great Forces. Ordinary Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artists like them stood no chance against him.

In the very first exchange, Lin Yun sent one of them flying with a punch. The man’s entire ribcage was shattered, and he crashed heavily to the ground, clearly dead.

”What are you all standing there for? Get him! Anyone who doesn’t attack, I’ll kill their entire family!” Terrified by Lin Yun’s strength, the Mo Family leader roared at the assembled guards.

Faced with the Mo Family’s authority, the guards dared not disobey. Forcing down the terror in their hearts, the hundred-plus guards charged at Lin Yun once more.

It was one man against more than a hundred, but this was no battle—it was a one-sided massacre. Despite their numbers, not one of the guards could withstand a single one of Lin Yun’s attacks.

With every punch he threw, another guard was blasted into nothingness.

As the number of dead guards mounted, the air grew thick with the stench of blood. The onlooking Martial Artists from Jincheng watched Lin Yun’s rampage, their mouths agape in astonishment.

”He’s... he’s practically a God of Slaughter.”

”Now this is a good show to watch. There’s no way the Mo Family will let this kid go now.”

Some were shocked, others were simply enjoying the show. By now, more than half the city guards were dead, and only one of the Mo Family Guards was left: their leader, the one at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm.

Having witnessed Lin Yun’s terrifying strength, the Mo Family Guard’s mind was filled with thoughts of retreat. Seeing the man turn to flee, Lin Yun sneered and instantly pursued him.

”Isn’t it a little late to be running now?” Lin Yun said indifferently as he caught up to the leader.

Barely a hundred breaths had passed. Looking at Lin Yun now, the Mo Family leader’s heart was consumed by terror.

He never imagined that the handsome young man before him could be so ruthlessly decisive.

But it was too late for regrets. As the man watched in horror, Lin Yun blew his head apart with a single punch.

With the last Mo Family Guard dead, the twenty or so remaining city guards stood frozen in place as if their minds had gone blank. One by one, their weapons slipped from their hands and clattered to the ground.
