"Boom! Bang!"
Because he forcibly killed four top-tier super experts, Yong Sheng Nan and Ao Lai Ming Lang, Lin Yun was unable to defend himself fully against the attacks of the nine Saint-level experts. Just as Lin Yun was killing the four top-tier super experts, he was also hit by the nine Saint-level experts. All his defensive measures collapsed instantly, and a powerful force attacked his body, causing him to fly backward.
"puff!"
In the starry sky, Lin Yun's body hunched over, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"elder brother!"
"Lin Yun!"
As Lin Yun annihilated Yong Sheng Nan and Ao Lai Ming Lang, Xia Qingqing, Lian Shan, and their group were looking back. When they saw this scene, their hearts clenched and they exclaimed in shock.
"Run!"
Lin Yun looked up at Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group in the distance, grinned, and said softly.
At this moment, Lin Yun lowered his head slightly, his long black hair was disheveled and flying, his face was pale, his white robe was torn, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. He looked very miserable, which made Xia Qingqing, Lian Shan and the others feel even more sorry and sad.
They knew that at this moment, Lin Yun was risking his life to pave a way for their survival.
But they would rather not have this kind of way of life...
At that moment, a pang of regret arose in their hearts.
Perhaps they shouldn't have been so willful before, not listening to Mo Dan and leaving this place; otherwise, they wouldn't have become a burden to Lin Yun.
"Um?"
Just then, a powerful sage noticed Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group, and his brow twitched slightly.
He didn't just realize Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group at this moment; rather, it seemed that he only realized their importance to Lin Yun at this moment.
This made him consider whether or not to target Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group, thus influencing Lin Yun's thinking.
Thinking this, his domain power involuntarily extended in the direction where Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group had left.
"If you dare to touch them, do you believe I'll take you down with me? Besides, do you think I'm doomed? If I don't die today, it won't be long before you're the one who dies, do you believe me?" Lin Yun suddenly looked up, staring fiercely at the Saint-level expert, and shouted.
"What?"
Seeing Lin Yun's reaction, the Saint-level expert was startled.
He quickly withdrew the power of his extended domain.
He had already witnessed Lin Yun's strength. Although they now had nine Saint-level experts working together to deal with Lin Yun, who knew what powerful methods Lin Yun might have? Just look at how Lin Yun escaped their encirclement earlier; it had taken them by surprise.
Perhaps Lin Yun really does have a way to leave safely, who knows?
Even if they don't, the probability of them having the ability to take one or two down with them when they die is not small.
Why should he take this risk upon himself?
"It's best not to mess with those people!"
"That's right. If we kill those people, Lin Yun will leave even more recklessly, which would backfire..."
Many other powerful saints were also startled and sent their messages.
Some powerful sages had also harbored thoughts about Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group, but they quickly suppressed these thoughts.
However, while they might not target Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group, they would not let Lin Yun off the hook.
They simply decided that they would not attack those around Lin Yun before eliminating him.
In fact, this is a very common situation in the universe.
The person involved was not killed; his family and friends were actually the safest.
Because many people and forces are afraid of retaliation from the parties involved. If the parties involved are powerful, their actions will provoke the other party, which would truly be a lose-lose situation with no benefit whatsoever.
On the contrary, after the person involved was killed, many people came out to kick him while he was down, and the fate of the person's relatives and friends was truly terrible.
"Boom! Boom!"
Seeing that no one was targeting Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group anymore, Lin Yun obediently engaged in battle with the nine Saint-level experts.
However, the combined strength of these nine Saint-level experts was too great. Although Lin Yun tried his best to avoid many attacks, he was still hit by even more attacks, and his body was constantly injured.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Lin Yun's body trembled, and his aura changed rapidly.
It became stronger in an instant.
At this moment, after the Bloodthirsty Sword refined a large amount of the essence blood of four top super strongmen, including Yong Sheng Nan and Ao Lai Ming Lang, it finally allowed Lin Yun to break through to the second level of the Super Realm.
Similar to the previous cultivation realms, the difference in strength between the first and second levels of the Super Realm is also enormous.
Lin Yun's strength immediately increased significantly, which was undoubtedly a timely help for his current situation.
"Boom! Boom..."
Lin Yun was able to withstand the combined attack of the nine Saint-level experts with even greater strength.
"Lin Yun has broken through!"
"I've advanced from the first level of the Super Realm to the second level of the Super Realm!"
The nine powerful saints were all surprised.
However, there was something odd about the way they said it.
Before this, they could never have imagined that they would care so much about and be so wary of a cultivator at the first or second level of the Super Realm.
At this moment, some of them suddenly realized that Lin Yun, who had been fighting against them, was only at the first level of the Super Realm, and had only just broken through to the second level of the Super Realm.
Thinking this way, their fear of Lin Yun intensified.
Lin Yun's cultivation speed and displayed strength are truly terrifying.
Even at the first level of the Super Realm, they possessed strength exceeding that of several Saint-level experts combined.
Now, in such a short time, he has already broken through to the second level of the Super Realm. What kind of terrifying strength must he possess?
"We must kill Lin Yun quickly. His cultivation speed is too fast. If he advances another level or two, we may no longer be able to do anything to him..."
"That's right, everyone, let's not hold back anymore!"
The nine powerful saints quickly responded.
Just now, because their side was extremely strong, they actually held back.
However, at this moment, they really dared not hold back.
Right now, Lin Yun has only broken through to the second level of the Super Realm. If they drag this out any longer, who knows if he will break through to the third or fourth level of the Super Realm? That would be a real mess.
"Boom!"
"Lin Yun, die!"
The nine Saint-level experts intensified their attack, and Lin Yun, who had just enjoyed a moment of relief, was suppressed again.
"No, even after breaking through to the second level of the Super Realm, I am still no match for these Saint Realm beings. There are too many of them. If I want to fight against them, I need to break through to the fourth level of the Super Realm at the very least."
Lin Yun looked grim, thinking to himself.
"Damn it, my time was too short. The combat power I killed in the Heavenly Dao Tower was not enough for the Bloodthirsty Sword to absorb blood energy... Otherwise... if I had a little more time to kill one or two Saint Realm experts on my own, perhaps I could have broken through to the third or fourth level of the Super Realm. At that time, even if nine Saint Realm experts joined forces to deal with me, what would I have to fear?" Lin Yun sighed in his heart.
Some things are just so frustrating.
As time went on, Lin Yun's injuries worsened.
Lin Yun turned his head and looked in the direction where Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group had left, but he could no longer see any trace of them.
"If we delay a little longer, they will be safer..." Lin Yun murmured.
The strength of a Saint is terrifying, and their detection ability is extremely strong. In fact, no matter how far Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group escaped, unless they escaped to a special place, such as the Immortal Source Holy Land, or some dangerous places that even Saint-level experts are wary of.
Otherwise, as long as a Saint Realm expert is willing to expend great effort to investigate, it would be easy to find out, and naturally, it would also be easy to kill Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group.
But now, this is all he can do.
With nine Saints surrounding and intercepting him, his chances of escaping are extremely slim. It would be better to leave the chance to Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group.
Hopefully, if these Saints kill him, they won't look down on Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan, who are just ordinary cultivators, and they won't bother to hunt down Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan's group anymore.
"Hahaha! Come on! Come on! Come on!! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Lin Yun threw his head back and laughed, brandishing the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand. Sword flowers flashed rapidly in the starry sky as he attacked the nine Saint-level experts.
One man, one sword, disregarding life and death, his aura is extremely unrestrained.
Despite being only at the second level of the Super Realm, he dared to challenge the combined forces of nine Saint-level experts, a feat that impressed many.
Surrounded by stars, many timid cultivators left, but a great many cultivators remained to watch the battle.
Seeing this scene, they were filled with a mix of ambition and trepidation.
Originally, they were very envious and jealous of Lin Yun, but after Lin Yun suppressed many participants in the first round of the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition, they also harbored a lot of hatred towards Lin Yun.
Now, they all admire Lin Yun greatly.
Lin Yun's strength, his spirit, and his loyalty and righteousness all earned their deep admiration.
"Unfortunately, Lin Yun's strength is far too lacking..."
"Yes, I reckon it won't be long before he falls!"
"If he doesn't perish, he'll most likely become another figure like the number one saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land!"
Some practitioners remarked with emotion.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
As time passed, Lin Yun suffered more and more injuries, and his body was constantly being pushed back by the attacks of the nine Saint-level experts.
"Little White, Little Blue, Little Blood, I'm afraid I can't continue on this journey with you..." After being knocked back once again, Lin Yun lowered his head slightly and chuckled as he transmitted his voice.
"Brother Lin Yun!"
"No, brother, run!"
Inside the Bloodthirsty Sword, Little White and Little Blue jumped around rapidly, their anxious, childish voices reaching Lin Yun's mind.
Inside the Bloodthirsty Sword, the crimson light representing Little Blood didn't pulsate much, but it flickered rapidly, sending waves of sorrow into Lin Yun's mind.
Perhaps over time, Xiao Xue and Lin Yun had developed feelings for each other, or perhaps this was just Xiao Xue pretending. But at this moment, Lin Yun was no longer in the mood to analyze it.
To be honest, aside from scheming against him a few times at the beginning, Little Blood didn't owe him anything. Inside the Heavenly Dao Tower, just now, it had already helped him a lot. Lin Yun's farewell to it at this moment was also a way of subtly expressing his apology for the years he had been wary of it.
A dying man's words are often kind, and Lin Yun didn't want to be in a bad relationship with Xiao Xue when he was about to die.
"There's no way to escape. The difference in strength is too great. We'll all die sooner or later. It's better to perish sooner, which might save Qingqing and the others' lives..." At the same time, Lin Yun smiled bitterly and transmitted his voice.
If the opponent only has three Saint-level experts, he can still fight them, and he might even have the upper hand.
Who would have thought that the other side actually had nine Saint-level experts?
Nine... He has managed to hold on until now thanks to the long period of training he endured after reaching the seventy-second level of the Heavenly Dao Tower. If it were an ordinary Saint, he would probably have perished long ago.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
A crimson light flickered, sending another message to Lin Yun.
"You mean, you want me to go and kill those ordinary cultivators?" Lin Yun asked in surprise, transmitting his voice.
As he said this, Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat. He had to admit, this really was a way out.
The more cultivators he kills, the more blood energy the Bloodthirsty Sword absorbs. This not only speeds up his recovery but also greatly increases his strength.
Those ordinary cultivators each contribute a small amount of blood energy, but the quantity is large.
Perhaps, it is possible that he could break through to the third or fourth level of the Super Realm before those nine Saint-level experts could kill him.
That would greatly increase his chances of survival.
"Forget it. The combined strength of nine Saint-level experts is too great. I'm not sure how many people I can kill right under their noses, and that's not something I'd want to do..." But after a moment, Lin Yun shook his head and said.
The Bloodthirsty Sword is currently at an extremely high level. If it were to kill ordinary cultivators, how many people would it need to kill to level up? Similarly, his cultivation level is not low either. How many people would he need to kill to allow his cultivation level to break through again?
It's probably in the hundreds of millions!
The bloodshed was too great!
Ultimately, he couldn't guarantee he would survive!
The people they offended were numerous and powerful. Regardless of their success or failure, the probability of Xia Qingqing and Lian Shan being held responsible was extremely high.
It's best not to do this kind of thing.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's have a good fight with them in the last few minutes!" Then, without waiting for any more messages from Xiaobai, Xiaolan, and Xiaoxue, Lin Yun looked up, laughed, and said softly.
As he spoke, Lin Yun looked at the nine Saint-level experts before him, and his aura grew even stronger.
"Little Blood, I'm just refusing your suggestion. Don't blame me and then try to scheme against me at the last minute, just like you did with that old Nan. Haha..." After a pause, Lin Yun suddenly said this.
"kill!"
After saying that, Lin Yun didn't wait for Xiao Xue's response and charged towards the nine Saint-level experts.
This was one of the very few times he had taken the initiative in his battles against these nine powerful saints.
When he completely let go of his fear of life and death, Lin Yun's mindset at that moment was unusually carefree.
