Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Severed Arm

Lin Yun and Wei Yunhang were locked in a fierce battle, both using every skill at their disposal, trying to kill the other. After a brutal exchange, both Lin Yun and Wei Yunhang were covered in wounds.

At that moment, Wei Yunhang stabbed his sword toward Lin Yun’s right shoulder, while Lin Yun thrust his spear toward Wei Yunhang’s left shoulder. Their shoulders were pierced simultaneously, and blood gushed out.

They pulled back at the same time. After hundreds of exchanges, a victor had yet to be decided. Even the wounds on their bodies were nearly identical; it could be said that for every time Wei Yunhang stabbed Lin Yun with his sword, Lin Yun was sure to answer with his spear.

Both stared at each other with icy eyes. Just then, Wei Yunhang slashed his sword at Lin Yun. ”One Sword Stuns the Wild Geese.”

Empowered by the fifth sword—the Sword Gang Condensed Sword—the One Sword Stuns the Wild Geese that Wei Yunhang now unleashed was far more powerful than its normal version.

Facing Wei Yunhang’s attack, Lin Yun executed his Red Flame Spear Technique, thrusting his spear forward. The tip of the spear met the edge of the sword head-on.

However, what Lin Yun never expected was that Wei Yunhang’s target wasn’t him at all. While Lin Yun was distracted resisting the attack, Wei Yunhang spun around and charged ferociously toward Qin Feng, who was battling the Taiqing Academy disciples.

Seeing this, Lin Yun shattered the incoming One Sword Stuns the Wild Geese and hastily gave chase.

Locked in battle with the Taiqing Academy disciples, Qin Feng only reacted when Wei Yunhang was right in front of him. By then, Wei Yunhang was already bringing his sword down on him in a swift slash.

There was no time. Qin Feng had no way to dodge. Seeing that his sword was about to cleave Qin Feng in two, a faint smile appeared on Wei Yunhang’s face.

But just then, Lin Yun caught up. Taking advantage of the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear’s length, he thrust it out, precisely striking the body of Wei Yunhang’s sword.

The longsword’s angle was deflected. Originally aimed for Qin Feng’s head, the blade ended up striking his shoulder instead.

However, due to the Sword Aura, Wei Yunhang’s longsword easily sliced clean through Qin Feng’s entire right arm.

His entire right arm was severed at the shoulder. The intense pain made Qin Feng cry out involuntarily, and blood jetted from his right shoulder.

Lin Yun rushed forward, thrusting his spear at Wei Yunhang’s chest and forcing him to retreat. Only then did Lin Yun turn to look at Qin Feng, only to see that his entire right arm had been chopped off.

His face turned deathly pale. Having lost an arm, it would be nearly impossible for Qin Feng’s right arm to be restored unless he had the help of a high-level Alchemist.

Thwarted by Lin Yun, a flash of disappointment crossed Wei Yunhang’s face. It had been the best opportunity to execute Qin Feng, but Lin Yun had ruined it once again.

Having lost his right arm, Qin Feng’s combat power was greatly diminished. After all, he wielded his sword with his right hand; without it, he couldn’t even perform his swordsmanship.

”Get back inside the stone house! I’ll handle this,” Lin Yun barked at Qin Feng. Aware of the situation outside, Lu Bingning opened the door and yanked Qin Feng inside.

Only Lin Yun and Little Ape were left. The two of them desperately guarded the entrance to the stone house. The corpses of several hundred Taiqing Academy disciples were scattered about, but many more living disciples still had the pair firmly surrounded.

His gaze fell upon Qin Feng’s severed right arm. There were only two ways to restore it. One was limb regeneration, but that was incredibly difficult. The other was to reattach it and supplement the healing with elixirs, which could also restore it to its former state.

Reading Lin Yun’s intention from his gaze, Wei Yunhang guessed that he wanted to retrieve Qin Feng’s severed arm. With a slight smile, he unleashed several slashes at the arm. The sharp Sword Qi instantly shredded Qin Feng’s arm to pieces.

Watching the severed arm get torn to shreds by the Sword Qi, Lin Yun’s expression turned frigid, his eyes filling with killing intent as he stared at Wei Yunhang. ’That bastard... he even destroyed the severed arm.’

”Lin Yun, all of you are going to die today. What’s the use of keeping this severed arm?” Wei Yunhang said coolly, seeing Lin Yun’s murderous gaze fixed on him.

After speaking, Wei Yunhang raised his sword and charged at Lin Yun again. Facing Wei Yunhang with only himself and Little Ape left, Lin Yun didn’t dare to take a single step away from the door. He was afraid that if he moved, Little Ape wouldn’t be able to hold the line alone, and that would be a disaster.

He had to confront Wei Yunhang head-on while simultaneously stopping the charging Taiqing Academy disciples. In just over ten breaths of time, several more wounds appeared on Lin Yun’s body, though he also managed to kill several Taiqing Academy disciples in the process.

”Lin Yun, stop this futile resistance. My Taiqing Academy has tens of thousands of disciples. Can you possibly kill them all?” With Lin Yun distracted, the pressure on Wei Yunhang lessened considerably, and he taunted Lin Yun as they fought.

Just then, a Direct Disciple of the Taiqing Academy tried to rush past Lin Yun. Seeing this, Lin Yun completely ignored Wei Yunhang in front of him, spinning and thrusting his spear to pierce the disciple’s chest.

Although he killed the disciple, Wei Yunhang also seized the opportunity, piercing Lin Yun’s chest with his sword. The strike had originally been aimed for Lin Yun’s heart, but at the critical moment, Lin Yun had managed to avoid the fatal blow.

The longsword entered through his chest, pierced straight through his entire chest, and emerged from his back.

COUGH, COUGH, COUGH... He spat out several mouthfuls of blood. This strike had indeed inflicted a serious wound.

”Lin Yun, even with your Flawless Flesh Body, how many more wounds like this can you take?” Wei Yunhang sneered, knowing that Lin Yun’s flesh was strong and his recovery power was absurdly high.

With the longsword still piercing his chest, several more Taiqing Academy disciples tried to take the opportunity to break through Lin Yun and Little Ape’s defensive line.

Seeing this, Lin Yun couldn’t be bothered with anything else and focused all his strength on killing the Taiqing Academy disciples who were trying to get past him. Wei Yunhang, in turn, seized this opportunity perfectly, stabbing his sword toward Lin Yun’s abdomen.

Constantly forced to deal with Taiqing Academy disciples trying to bypass him, Lin Yun knew he couldn’t afford to be distracted while fighting Wei Yunhang. However, he couldn’t just stand by and watch them charge into the stone house.

After fending off a few waves, Lin Yun had killed over a dozen more Taiqing Academy disciples, but he had also been run through several more times by Wei Yunhang’s sword.

Retreating step by step, Lin Yun finally leaned back against the wall of the stone house, using the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear to prop himself up as he coughed up a constant stream of blood.

Even with the freakish recovery power of the Flawless Flesh Body Third Layer, the injuries on Lin Yun’s body had long since surpassed its limit.

There was no more room to retreat. Lin Yun and Little Ape had been pushed back to the very entrance of the stone house. With his back against the building and both hands leaning on the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun watched the Taiqing Academy disciples slowly close in on him.

”Lin Yun,” Wei Yunhang said, ”even if I don’t lift a finger now, you’re not far from death. The Taiqing Academy disciples behind me are more than enough to tear you to shreds.”

Hearing this, Lin Yun’s eyes remained incredibly determined. His gaze toward Wei Yunhang held not the slightest hint of fear or compromise.
