Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Expert from the Mo Family

Lin Yun’s massacre had completely stunned the city guards. For years, nothing like this had ever happened in Jincheng—a single person slaughtering dozens of city guards and several Mo Family guards.

Furthermore, the six guards Lin Yun killed were all at the Primordial Ocean Realm. While the Mo Family didn’t lack guards at the Primordial Ocean Realm, losing six at once was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face.

Lin Yun stood indifferently at the city gate, countless bodies strewn haphazardly at his feet. The onlookers didn’t dare to approach him. This young man was a veritable God of Slaughter.

He didn’t even fear the Mo Family in their own territory of Jincheng. No one knew where his confidence came from. The Mo Family didn’t just hold absolute dominion over Jincheng; they were also a force to be reckoned with within the Wuji Sect.

The Mo Family’s two patriarchs were now Supreme Elders in the Wuji Sect—powerhouses at the Spirit Realm.

After he had killed so many people, no one dared to provoke Lin Yun anymore. Are you kidding? This guy didn’t even give a damn about the Mo Family. Who would be stupid enough to cross him now?

Just as a sense of awe filled the crowd, a terrifying might suddenly erupted from within Jincheng. Sensing this aura, Lin Yun’s eyes narrowed. ’A Celestial Spirit Realm expert,’ he thought. ’The Mo Family has finally sent one out.’

”That’s... Lord Shi Wu, the Mo Family’s Honored Guest Elder.” A burly, middle-aged man appeared in the air before Lin Yun, and someone in the crowd quickly recognized him.

”Brat, you dare kill the Mo Family’s guards?” Shi Wu demanded, his cold voice filled with inviolable authority as he stared down at Lin Yun.

Shi Wu’s appearance made the atmosphere even more tense. In the Eastern Heart Domain, a Celestial Spirit Realm expert was already considered a regional hegemon. After all, Spirit Realm masters rarely made public appearances. So long as they remained in seclusion, the Celestial Spirit Realm reigned supreme.

However, trying to intimidate Lin Yun with his presence alone was clearly impossible. Lin Yun met Shi Wu’s gaze without flinching. As their eyes locked, Lin Yun calmly replied, ”The Mo Family tried to kill me. I was merely defending myself.”

Though Lin Yun’s voice was calm, it held not a trace of fear. Facing a Celestial Spirit Realm expert, he showed none of the panic the crowd expected.

”Could this kid actually fight a Celestial Spirit Realm expert?” someone guessed.

But this speculation was quickly met with scorn from the crowd. ”A Primordial Ocean Realm cultivator fighting someone at the Celestial Spirit Realm? Are you joking? The gap between the Primordial Ocean and Celestial Spirit Realms is greater than you can possibly imagine. In the entire Eastern Domain, probably only the Five Great Demon Fiends could contend with a Celestial Spirit Realm expert while still in the Primordial Ocean Realm. This kid is a far cry from them. I think he’s just putting on a brave face.”

Sharing the crowd’s sentiment, Shi Wu simply didn’t believe Lin Yun had the strength to contend with him. ’Until you break through to the Celestial Spirit Realm, you can never truly know how vast the gap is.’

Standing in the sky, Shi Wu snorted. Instantly, an immense pressure bore down on Lin Yun. Pinned beneath it, Lin Yun felt as if he were carrying a great mountain on his back.

”Brat, I don’t care who you are. Not even a god could save you today. You dared to kill members of the Mo Family, so you will pay with your life,” Shi Wu said coldly.

As his voice fell, Shi Wu thrust a palm toward Lin Yun. Without using any Martial Skill, a Palm Seal made of Elemental Power instantly formed and shot violently toward Lin Yun’s chest.

If this palm were to land, Lin Yun would be gravely injured, if not killed outright. The Elemental Power of a Celestial Spirit Realm expert was simply incomparable to that of someone at the Primordial Ocean Realm. The gap between them was enormous.

Just when everyone thought Lin Yun was about to be killed by a single palm strike, Little Ape, who had been nestled in his arms, transformed into a streak of red light, its body instantly swelling to the height of a man.

No one saw where Little Ape had come from. All they could see was the ape, now covered in blood-red fur, standing protectively in front of Lin Yun and throwing a punch at Shi Wu’s Elemental Power palm.

Upon collision, blood instantly gushed from Little Ape’s fist. Shi Wu’s ferocious Elemental Power had torn the ape’s fist open.

Enduring the excruciating pain, Little Ape let out a furious roar as a dense Evil Qi erupted from its body. The aura of this Evil Qi sent a chill of fear through the hearts of the tens of thousands of onlookers.

”What kind of Demon Beast is that? How can it have such powerful Evil Qi?”

Little Ape had taken Shi Wu’s palm strike head-on, and its entire right fist was now drenched in blood. Although the ape was grievously injured, Shi Wu, still airborne, was inwardly shocked.

Little Ape was only a Tier Three Demon Beast, yet it had managed to block his attack. Even though it had suffered a grievous wound to do so, it was still an incredible feat.

”Brat, is this your trump card? Do you really think you can fight a Celestial Spirit Realm expert by relying on a single Tier Three Demon Beast?” Shi Wu asked.

Hearing this, Lin Yun moved to Little Ape’s side. His eyes, blazing with Battle Intent, locked onto Shi Wu. ”We’ll find out if we can contend with you once we fight.”

As he spoke, Minor Accomplishment Battle Intent erupted from his body. Sensing it, Shi Wu’s expression turned serious for the first time.

”Minor Accomplishment Battle Intent? I never expected the Flawless Palace to produce someone like you. A pity. You’re still going to die today.”

Saying nothing more, Lin Yun and Little Ape exchanged a glance and simultaneously attacked Shi Wu in the sky. Wielding the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun directly unleashed Thunderfire Bombardment.

Facing Lin Yun’s frontal assault, Shi Wu neither dodged nor evaded. He simply threw a punch. The Thunderfire Bombardment was shattered in an instant. Lin Yun violently spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent crashing to the ground.

After injuring Lin Yun with a single punch, Shi Wu spun around and caught Little Ape, who was attempting a sneak attack from behind. He kicked the ape in the stomach, sending it crashing to the ground just like Lin Yun.

In just a few short breaths, both Lin Yun and Little Ape had been injured. This was the first time Lin Yun had faced a true Celestial Spirit Realm expert.

They were truly on different levels. After breaking through to the Celestial Spirit Realm, everything—from one’s physical body to their Elemental Power—was completely different from the Primordial Ocean Realm.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lin Yun experienced the power of the Celestial Spirit Realm firsthand. This was an absolute suppression of strength, far beyond what could be achieved by those who relied on external forces to reach the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Facing Shi Wu, Lin Yun hadn’t used the War God Transformation or the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool. He suspected that even if he did, it would be useless and would only put him in greater danger.

Lin Yun wasn’t confident he could kill Shi Wu within fifty breaths. And once those fifty breaths were up, his Elemental Power would be depleted, leaving him completely at his enemy’s mercy.

’The Celestial Spirit Realm truly cannot be underestimated,’ Lin Yun thought.

Looking at the injured Lin Yun and Little Ape, Shi Wu slowly descended before them, his expression relaxed. ”In light of your extraordinary talent, I’ll grant you a swift end. Kill yourself.”

Hearing this, Lin Yun straightened his body. Facing the Celestial Spirit Realm expert, the Battle Intent in his heart didn’t diminish; it surged. ’The Five Great Demon Fiends can contend with Celestial Spirit Realm experts while still in the Primordial Ocean Realm, so I, Lin Yun, can too! If I can’t even surpass the Five Great Demon Fiends, what hope do I have of ever taking my revenge in the Divine Realm?’
