It took Lin Dan a full hour to kill all the patients in the city. Wherever he passed, some people fled, but more people knelt down with tears in their eyes, mumbling words of thanks. They are already terminally ill and beyond help. They have eaten so much human flesh that they are not worth saving. It would be better for them to die.
After making sure that there was no one alive in the city, Lin Dan, relying on his special skills and not being afraid of the virus, gathered the bodies of these people together and burned them.
In fact, before she came, there were patients committing suicide every day in the Plague City, but in order to maintain a certain number, Yan Zhaotian would throw more citizens into the city. He did not allow his citizens to escape, and only allowed people to enter but not leave the city. He turned the city into a hunting ground, where he took other people's lives for fun. If one day, the people in the city were killed, he would move to another city and continue playing. After all, his father owned two empires and didn't care about a mere plague city.
Those who stand at the top never see the suffering of the people at the bottom, but they are helpless. This is the current situation of the East Tang Continent. This is the natural law of survival of the fittest.
Columns of smoke rose slowly into the sky. Lin Dan stood in front of the fire with a calm expression, and no one knew what he was thinking. Her Shura Sword had turned black, the result of absorbing too much blood. Fazhao and others hurriedly sat down cross-legged and chanted the Sutra on the Salvation of the Dead. After coming here for eleven consecutive years, this time, he finally got what he wanted.
Bai Yan put down the little boy who had stopped crying in his arms, untied his relatives, sent them away, and then looked at Lin Dan's tall and unyielding back, his eyes flickering.
Seeing that the corpse had been burned to ashes, Lin Dan jumped onto the wall and left. When passing by Bai Yan, she stressed every word: "If one day, I become like this, you must kill me!"
Bai Yan didn't respond for a long time. Seeing her staring at him with a resolute expression, he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay." At the same time, he felt a slight pain in his heart, as if something was missing.
Upon hearing this, Master Fazhao opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Amitabha, well done, well done!"
Lin Dan continued to move forward. The soldiers guarding the city pointed their swords and guns at her, but no one dared to approach her. She was soaked in blood and left a bloody footprint every time she took a step. She looked like an evil ghost. After walking a dozen feet, she suddenly stopped and said loudly: "I am Lin Dan, you can tell Yan Huangren that I killed him. If he wants revenge, come to the top of Kunlun Mountain to find me in three days. We will fight, life or death!"
In the end, she was unwilling to implicate others and challenged Emperor Yan to a fight. This is an old rule in the underworld. Once one party issues a challenge, the other party cannot retaliate privately before deciding the winner. If she wins, everyone can live in peace. If she loses, the Eastern Saint Cult can only wish for the best.
"She is the newly promoted Grandmaster Lin Dan!" a soldier exclaimed.
"Hurry, go and deliver the letter to His Majesty Emperor Yan!" Everyone was in a hurry, but Lin Dan had already left in the strong wind. At her feet, many people ran out of their closed doors, pointing in the direction of the thick smoke and talking about it. When they learned that someone had killed the city lord and burned the plague city, they all shed tears, then knelt down and kowtowed to the unknown benefactor. If the benefactor had not come, they would sooner or later become part of the plague city, unable to live or die! That Yan Huang is not a human being at all, he is clearly the Yama King of Hell!
…………
Three days later, Lin Dan was standing on the top of Kunlun Mountain, holding the pitch-black Shura Sword in his hand.
Bai Yan and Fazhao stood behind her, one with a frown and a worried expression; the other with his eyes closed, reciting scriptures. There was no suspense in this battle, because Yan Huang was the second best fighter after Yun Di. The martial arts he practiced was the "Fiery Explosive Fist", and one punch from him could flatten a small hill. He was totally beyond the ability of Lin Dan, who had just been promoted to the Grandmaster level.
"Here it comes." Bai Yan suddenly spoke.
Master Fazhao also opened his eyes immediately.
Only Lin Dan was a beat slower, which showed that there was still a gap between grand masters.
The next moment, a middle-aged man in a red robe came walking on the wind. After landing, he left two deep footprints on the hard rock. He looked at Lin Dan and said coldly, "Did you kill my son?"
Lin Dan stepped forward with a knife in hand, "It's me."
“I’m glad it’s you!” Yan Huang threw a punch without saying a word. Lin Dan quickly raised his knife to block, but was forced back several feet by the fierce energy and spat out another mouthful of thick blood. But she didn't seem panicked at all, instead her eyes were full of burning fighting spirit. This enemy is very strong. Even if she drains all the death energy from his body, she may not be able to defeat him. But it doesn't matter, she likes a hearty battle. If she is destined to die, it is an honor to die at the hands of a strong man.
She swung the Shura Sword, and with the help of the energy emitted from the tip of the sword, she flew forward and fought with the Flame Emperor. After making several moves in succession, she was shocked to find that Yan Huang's skills had made his entire body as hard as iron, making him invulnerable to swords and spears. Her Shura Sword was firmly restrained by the opponent's Explosive Flame Fist.
“Today I will use your head to sacrifice to my son’s spirit in heaven! By the way, I will also teach you a lesson: don’t do whatever you want just because you are gifted. In this world, there are always people more powerful than you.” Yan Huang knocked Lin Dan to the ground with a punch, then swooped down.
Lin Dan fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood while raising the Shura Sword to block Yan Huang's even more fierce punch. The rock beneath her had shattered into pieces and a deep pit had collapsed. The scene was extremely tragic. The Emperor of Flame did not give her a chance to turn over. He punched her continuously, one punch after another. The violent energy scraped through the air, making a piercing scream.
The pit got deeper and deeper, and soon Lin Dan was buried.
Fazhao couldn't bear to watch any longer, but Bai Yan stared at Yan Huang with a cold expression.
The more serious the injury, the more powerful the vitality in Lin Dan's body, and the faster the recovery speed. At the same time, the death energy is also growing rapidly and transforming into Gang Qi. Seeing that Yan Huang raised his fist and smashed it towards her head, she gritted her teeth and pushed the Shura Sword forward. The blade flashing with black light just collided with his fist and actually cut a wound on his iron-hard skin.
Emperor Yan was horrified. Before he could react, he saw the blade coming towards his neck and quickly stepped back.
Without the suppression of the fist wind, Lin Dan immediately jumped out of the deep pit and chopped several times, each of which went straight to the vital points of Yan Huang. Yan Huang dodged a few times at first, but found that she could only cut a shallow cut on his skin without even drawing blood, so he let go and continued to attack with all his might.
Both of them had rough fighting styles. They only knew how to attack and not defend. Both of them were protected by magical skills and had strong vitality. The battle lasted for three days and three nights.
Lin Dan grew up at an astonishing speed. Although he was covered with scars, the light in his eyes was as enthusiastic as the sun in the sky. Yan Huang's internal strength was powerful and he showed no signs of fatigue, but his clothes were torn by Lin Dan's sword energy and he looked a little disheveled.
"No wonder you dare to openly be my enemy, it turns out you have practiced the Shura Sword!" Gradually, Emperor Yan recognized Lin Dan's martial arts and became even more fearful. He no longer had the patience to fight back, so he concentrated all his strength into his right fist and smashed it forward at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Lin Dan could see the trajectory of the fist clearly, but he couldn't avoid it no matter what. He could only use all his strength to chop it down with a knife. This was obviously a fighting method of mutual destruction.
Fazhao lowered his head and recited a Buddhist mantra. Bai Yan suddenly took a step forward, his usually cold eyes now turned red.
Yan Huang's fist and Lin Dan's blade hit each other's bodies almost at the same time. There were several crackling sounds, and all the bones in Lin Dan's body were broken by Yan Huang, while Yan Huang showed a smile that showed he was confident of victory. His skin was as hard as iron. Lin Dan attacked him for three days and three nights but failed to leave a scar on his body, so how could he hit his vital points?
But then there was a slight "puff" sound, and a column of blood spurted into the air, dyeing Yan Huang's eyes red. He lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his chest, only to see that the Shura Knife had pierced his chest and went straight to his heart. A lot of blood was gushing out of the blood grooves on both sides, and then was sucked up drop by drop by the blade.
"How, how could this happen?" he murmured.
"Of course not. Didn't you notice? During these three days and three nights, each of my sword strikes would land on a vital spot on your body, and the landing point was always the same. It may seem chaotic, but in fact, your defense has already been broken. I just haven't delivered a fatal blow. Today I will teach you a lesson. Don't do whatever you want just because you are good at martial arts. In this world, there are always people more powerful than you." Lin Dan drew out the Shura Sword and replied.
Without the blockage, more blood gushed out from Yan Huang's chest. He stared at Lin Dan intently, then slowly fell down, dead. Lin Dan then let out a breath and fell down.
Bai Yan immediately flew forward and caught her steadily. He was then horrified to find that all her bones were broken and felt soft to the touch, which was extremely terrifying. He didn't dare to move at all. He asked Fazhao to take off his robes and spread them on the ground, and then he carefully put Lin Dan down.
Lin Dan spat out a lot of blood, but smiled faintly as he looked at the sunlight above his head. It’s so good to be alive!
"Stop laughing and lie down!" Bai Yan cherished Lin Dan's smile very much, but today, he felt that her half-dead appearance was very glaring.
As they were talking, two sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and two tall men appeared on the top of Kunlun Mountain, which was in ruins due to the fierce battle between the two men. One of them was wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, looking quite like an immortal, and the other was wearing black clothes, with a stern face.
"Emperor Yun, she is the successor of Shura Sword, you should know what to do!" As soon as the two opened their mouths, they demanded to kill Lin Dan.
Lin Dan looked at Bai Yan and murmured, "Are you Emperor Yun?"
Bai Yan gently squeezed her fingertips, then told Fazhao to take good care of her. Then he turned around and said word by word: "As long as she is awake, I will protect her. If you two are dissatisfied, you can come and fight." As he finished speaking, his white robe fluttered, his aura soared, and his powerful internal force evaporated and distorted the air around him, but he carefully avoided Lin Dan and protected her tightly behind him.
The two people were none other than Xiaoyaozi, who was ranked fifth, and Wei Qu, who was ranked fourth. According to common sense, since Lin Dan had killed Yan Huang, Yan Huang's fiefdom naturally belonged to her. If she were killed by someone else, all her forces would belong to that person. These two people suddenly appeared not to uphold justice, but to seize resources.
But they never expected that Emperor Yun, who always liked to watch from the sidelines and stay out of things, would openly stand up to defend Lin Dan.
