Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 642: Chapter 641: Successful Escape

Suddenly sensing a terrifying surge of Elemental Power from Lin Yun, the Divine Palace Warriors guarding Little Ape all appeared, tightly surrounding him.

About fifty Divine Palace Warriors were present. Sweeping his gaze across them, Lin Yun chuckled and said, ”Without Qing Zhu, Wei Yunhang, or the Grand Commander, you lot alone won’t be enough to stop me.”

Lin Yun was absolutely confident. This was precisely why he had lured Qing Zhu and the others out of the city. Without Qing Zhu, the Grand Commander, and their cohort inside Divine Celestial City, escaping would be much easier for him.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words and seeing his heaven-storming aura, a flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of every Divine Palace Warrior.

Holding the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun stood ramrod straight. Then, as everyone watched, a few small wisps of purple flame erupted from the spear. However, after only a few moments, the flames spread like wildfire, instantly engulfing the entire Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.

”Move, or die,” Lin Yun said lightly, a faint smile on his face.

As his words faded, Lin Yun began walking step by step out of the courtyard. The Divine Palace Warriors only dared to maintain their tight circle around him, showing no sign of attacking. For every step Lin Yun took forward, they took one back.

Just as Lin Yun was about to reach the courtyard gate, someone suddenly roared, ”Kill!”

At this roar, the Divine Palace Warriors finally attacked. Seeing this, Lin Yun showed no concern at all. He swung his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear and charged forward to meet them.

Of course, there weren’t only a few dozen Divine Palace Warriors in all of Divine Celestial City. However, at this moment, the others had no time to reinforce this position.

This was because Monk and the others had also stormed Divine Celestial City the moment Lin Yun made his move. The entire city was now a battlefield, and Monk’s group had drawn away a significant number of Divine Palace Warriors.

Besides the Grand Commander’s group, who had been led away by Qing Zhu, and the Commanders garrisoning other cities, there were three other Divine Palace Commanders left in Divine Celestial City. However, two of them were currently engaged in battle with Little Ape and Xi Zijin.

The last one managed to rush to Lin Yun’s location in time, but when he saw the scene before him, a look of utter shock flashed in his eyes.

Dozens of Divine Palace Warriors lay dead, all slain by Lin Yun’s spear. As the Commander arrived, Lin Yun’s Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear pierced the throat of the final Warrior.

Lifting the Divine Palace Warrior’s corpse on the tip of his spear, Lin Yun calmly regarded the newly arrived Divine Palace Commander. A small smile played on his lips as he spoke in a placid tone.

”You want to try and stop me, too?”

”Don’t get too full of yourself. When Commander Qing Zhu returns, none of you will get away,” the Divine Palace Commander retorted coldly.

Hearing this, Lin Yun casually flicked his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, sending the Divine Palace Warrior’s corpse flying. ”My apologies, but I’m afraid I can’t wait around for your Commander Qing Zhu to get back.”

As his words fell, Lin Yun took the offensive, attacking the Divine Palace Commander. The man’s Cultivation was at Celestial Spirit Realm Perfection, a Small Realm higher than Lin Yun’s.

Although his Cultivation was higher, his Combat Power was leagues below Lin Yun’s. Furthermore, Lin Yun wielded the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, while the Commander only had an ordinary Mortal Soldier in hand.

The two clashed, and in a single exchange, Lin Yun’s spear shattered the man’s Weapon. Realizing the significant gap in their Combat Power, the Divine Palace Commander no longer dared to face him head-on.

’Trying to run? Or just stalling for time? Do you really think you can get away?’ Lin Yun sneered. He executed the Inch Step and gave chase.

He thrust his spear. The Divine Palace Commander narrowly dodged the lightning-fast attack. However, just as he evaded the spear tip, before he could even react, Lin Yun’s palm was already descending.

”Purple Mist Seal,” Lin Yun roared. A palm made of Elemental Power, over a hundred feet wide, slammed viciously into the man. He instantly coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

His body flew back like a kite with its string cut, soaring several hundred meters until it slammed violently into the wall of the central grand hall of Divine Celestial City.

Spitting up blood, the Commander struggled back to his feet. By then, Lin Yun was already standing before him, his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear emitting continuous draconic roars.

A faint, indistinct Dragon Shadow seemed to coil around the spear’s shaft.

”Dual Dragon World Destruction...” Lin Yun bellowed. Two Dragon Shadows instantly burst from the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, charging toward the Divine Palace Commander with terrifying power.

Seeing this, the Divine Palace Commander knew he had no hope of blocking the attack. Without a second thought, he chose to flee, his entire body darting swiftly to the side.

Seeing the man dodge, Lin Yun didn’t look annoyed in the slightest. Instead, a sinister smile spread across his face.

The Dual Dragon World Destruction slammed into the grand hall of Divine Celestial City. In an instant, the entire structure collapsed with a deafening BOOM, sending dust and debris billowing into the air.

Staring at the collapsed grand hall, the Divine Palace Commander who had just escaped with his life wore a look of utter astonishment. ’So his target was never me... it was the Divine Celestial City’s grand hall all along...’

The grand hall of Divine Celestial City was, in many ways, the Sacred Land in the hearts of all Divine Palace Warriors. And now, that Sacred Land had been utterly destroyed by Lin Yun.

As they watched the dust billow from the site of the grand hall, everyone in Divine Celestial City turned to look in its direction. The grand hall that once stood proudly in the center of the city was now nothing more than a pile of ruins shrouded in thick dust.

Lin Yun had destroyed the Sacred Land in the hearts of the Divine Palace Warriors. Their fighting spirit vanished. This included the Warriors fighting against Monk and his group; they lost their previous ferocity, and many simply stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

His work done, Lin Yun didn’t linger. He flew to the top of the city gate, where Monk and the others had already gathered. Looking at them, Lin Yun smiled. ”Let’s go.”

No one tried to stop them. Lin Yun and his companions left Divine Celestial City with ease.

The Divine Palace Warriors and their Commander, still inside the city, were completely indifferent to the group’s departure. They all gathered around the former site of the grand hall.

The dust gradually settled, revealing that the once-magnificent grand hall was now nothing but a pile of rubble. Staring at the ruins, the Divine Palace Warriors were all dejected, their fighting spirit completely gone.

In a way, by destroying the grand hall of Divine Celestial City, Lin Yun had actually destroyed the confidence of the Divine Palace Warriors and the very conviction they held dear. Their morale would surely remain low for a long time to come.
