Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

The old man in the sky was expressionless. However, he was unaware that far above him, the Dean of the Punishment Hall was also concealed within the void. Gazing down at the old man, the dean’s face was impassive.

’Alas, fame and fortune truly do corrupt. To think that even a mighty Primordial Ocean Realm expert would covet such empty things.’ After a long moment, the Dean of the Punishment Hall let out a sigh.

No one discovered the presence of the two experts. Even Lin Yun couldn’t pinpoint the old man’s location; the gap in their power was simply too vast.

With greatswords in hand, the two death row inmates seemed to come alive again, their faces twisting into ferocious masks as they glared at Lin Yun. "Brat, let’s see what tricks you have left! We’ll be sure to kill you today!"

People can be strange. Sometimes, just having a weapon is enough to restore one’s confidence. Such was the case for the two death row inmates.

However, upon hearing their taunts, Lin Yun abandoned the thought of searching for the old man. ’Even if I found him, there’s nothing I could do. Better to just kill these two first.’

"Even if you were holding Celestial Spirit Soldiers, I would still kill you today," Lin Yun said calmly.

"Such arrogance! Eat steel!" The two charged directly at Lin Yun, their greatswords hacking down without mercy.

Lifting the Overlord Spear horizontally, Lin Yun met their attack head-on. The immense force made his knees buckle slightly, but he still managed to directly shatter their frenzied assault.

"Is that all you’ve got?" Lin Yun asked lightly after deflecting their attack.

Immediately, Lin Yun shifted from defense to offense, instantly unleashing his Red Flame Spear Technique. Scorching Elemental Power surged around the Overlord Spear, taking the form of real flames that could sear his enemies.

His spear struck like a dragon. The Red Flame Spear Technique was all about overwhelming frontal assaults. Even though the two men wielded greatswords, they didn’t dare let their focus waver for even a second against Lin Yun’s attacks.

The combat power of all three surged to its peak. Elemental Power blasted across the Martial Arts Arena, and the constant clang of colliding weapons echoed through the air.

"He’s incredible! He’s actually fighting two Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists all by himself."

"So cool! No wonder Lu Bingning likes him."

As Lin Yun fully displayed his strength, many of the students began to idolize him. On the Celestial Spirit Continent, where the strong are revered, experts naturally attracted many followers.

Some of the female students even began to gaze at Lin Yun with hints of adoration. It seemed that women, too, were powerless against the allure of a strong man.

As the battle raged on, every move of Lin Yun’s Red Flame Spear Technique began to brim with True Intent. Before he knew it, Lin Yun had achieved a breakthrough, completely mastering the entire Red Flame Spear Technique.

With this mid-battle breakthrough, Lin Yun’s strength improved once more. Bolstered by his two Cultivation Techniques, he gradually gained the upper hand and began to overwhelm the two death row inmates.

"Is this kid a monster? How can he comprehend a Martial Skill in the middle of a fight?"

"Enough nonsense! Put everything into a counterattack! He comprehended the True Intent of an entire Profound Level Spear Technique at such a young age. His talent is not to be underestimated. We have to kill him today!"

Both death row inmates knew there was no retreat. Their only way out was to kill Lin Yun.

Facing their desperate assault, Lin Yun didn’t dare to be careless. He was pushing his Red Flame Spear Technique to its absolute limit, holding back only his Battle Intent and Wind Thunder Triple Flash.

He thrust his spear forward. One of the inmates raised his greatsword to defend himself, and the tip of the spear struck the flat of the blade.

His strike was blocked, but Lin Yun didn’t relent. Seizing the opening, the other inmate raised his sword and swung it down at Lin Yun.

"Break!" With no intention of retreating, Lin Yun unleashed a burst of power. The Overlord Spear shattered the man’s greatsword and plunged directly into his chest.

But in that same instant, as Lin Yun put all his strength into the thrust, the other inmate’s blade came crashing down. Lin Yun managed to twist away to protect his vitals, but the greatsword still bit deep into his shoulder.

The blow severely wounded Lin Yun. The gash on his shoulder was deep enough to expose bone, and his left arm hung limply at his side, a testament to the severity of the injury.

Blood gushed from the wound, yet Lin Yun’s expression didn’t change. His eyes were locked on the death row inmate he had just run through.

The inmate’s injuries were far more severe than Lin Yun’s. He was already on the brink of death, coughing up great mouthfuls of blood.

"One down," Lin Yun stated coolly.

To the remaining inmate, those two words sounded like a summons from the Death God himself. He couldn’t stop himself from taking a small step back.

As Lin Yun pulled out the Overlord Spear, the impaled man collapsed. The light in his eyes faded rapidly, his expression a mask of terror and disbelief.

’As death row inmates, they were supposed to be the most vicious of men, but facing Lin Yun, he realized he couldn’t even compare to the boy’s ruthlessness.’

Having traded a grievous injury to kill one of his opponents, Lin Yun was now in terrible shape. It was as if he already had one foot in the grave.

The remaining inmate looked at the heavily injured Lin Yun, a savage glint in his eyes. "Haha, brat! You’re at the end of your rope now. Let’s see how much longer you can hold on!"

The inmate was certain that Lin Yun was a spent force. But just as he finished speaking, Lin Yun took out the Life Extending Pill he had been saving.

"I told you. Both of you will die today." With those words, Lin Yun swallowed the Life Extending Pill in one gulp.

As the Elixir took effect, the wounds on Lin Yun’s body quickly stopped bleeding and began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Watching this, the inmate completely broke down. A single Life Extending Pill was enough to heal Lin Yun’s injuries. ’Even if he doesn’t recover fully,’ he thought in despair, ’if he just gets back half his strength, he could still kill me.’

"You... stay away from me..." The inmate had lost all his confidence. He kept backing away as Lin Yun approached, stammering in fear.

"What am I seeing? He actually killed one of them... A Sixth Layer of Opening fighting two Martial Artists at the Second Layer of Qi Sea Realm, and he killed one..."

"He’s too strong! Are you sure he’s really just a senior student?"

The students watching the fight were all gaping, staring blankly at the Martial Arts Arena. There stood the blood-soaked youth, Overlord Spear in hand, forcing a Qi Sea Realm death row inmate to retreat in terror.

Forced into a corner by Lin Yun, the inmate’s eyes filled with terror. Now he finally knew fear. He frantically searched for an escape route, and his eyes inadvertently fell upon Yue Xiuchuan in the corner.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the inmate screamed in Yue Xiuchuan’s direction, "Young Master Yue, save me! Save me!"

His voice was thick with terror.
