Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

After beating Guan Renjie to a pulp and seeing his face swollen like a pig’s, Lu Bingning’s anger finally dissipated. She walked over to Lin Yun and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Lin Yun nodded in response. Just then, Lu Tao’s loud laughter erupted from near Guan Renjie. "Hahaha, Guan Renjie, you finally got what was coming to you! Great job, Sister, hahaha."

Lu Tao was also a massive spoiled brat—even more so than Guan Renjie. At least Guan Renjie had some genuine ability. Lu Tao, on the other hand, was not only weak but also incredibly arrogant. If it weren’t for the Lu Family and Lu Bingning’s presence in Iron Gate Pass, he would have probably been beaten up a hundred times by now.

Watching Lu Tao and Guan Renjie, Lin Yun suddenly had a bad feeling. ’This is bad,’ he thought. ’One spoiled brat meets another...’

Sure enough, infuriated by Lu Tao’s mockery, Guan Renjie immediately roared, "Lu Tao, are you looking to die? Men! Tie this brat up for me! I’m going to hack him to pieces today!"

Guan Renjie shouted at the guards beside him. He was afraid of Lin Yun, but he certainly wasn’t afraid of Lu Tao. Their family backgrounds were comparable, and both were spoiled young masters, so Guan Renjie had no reason to fear him.

Hearing Guan Renjie’s words, Lu Tao showed his true colors as a spoiled brat, yelling to Lu Bingning, "Sister, look at this guy! He still hasn’t learned his lesson! Come over here and teach him a good one!"

Neither would give an inch, shouting relentlessly at each other. Lu Bingning, however, simply ignored them completely. Guan Renjie’s guards also pretended not to hear, letting the two of them quarrel.

Ignoring their argument, Lin Yun sat down on the spot and began to circulate his energy to heal. The War God Technique and Demon Emperor Technique activated within him, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Power surged madly into his body.

Sensing the violent surge of Elemental Power, it wasn’t just the Guan Family guards; even Lu Bingning and the other two were astonished. Of course, the shock was greatest for Lu Bingning and her brother, as they still didn’t know that Lin Yun had broken through to the Opening Realm.

"This..." everyone’s eyes widened. A speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Power like this was simply heaven-defying. At this rate, Lin Yun’s cultivation speed had to be at least dozens of times faster than an ordinary person’s.

For one hour, Lin Yun didn’t move a muscle. And in just that single hour, the injuries inside his body were about seventy or eighty percent healed, a testament to the terrifying power of the War God Technique and Demon Emperor Technique.

When he opened his eyes, Guan Renjie’s guards had hunted a Demon Beast and were roasting it over a fire they had built to the side.

"I’m hungry. Let’s go get something to eat," Lin Yun said to Lu Bingning and the others as he stood up.

Demon Beast meat was a favorite food among Martial Artists. Not only was it delicious, but eating it could also strengthen one’s body.

But as good as it was, ordinary families couldn’t afford such a thing. Only Martial Artists had the means to consume it.

"Delicious! Guan Renjie, your subordinates really know how to roast meat. Not bad. Another day, you can come to my Lu Family and roast one for me," Lu Tao said, his mouth full, speaking without a filter.

Hearing this, Guan Renjie and the Guan Family guards’ expressions darkened. Did this Lu Tao really think they were his personal chefs?

After they finished eating, the sky gradually darkened, so Lin Yun and the group decided to camp here for the night and venture deeper into the mountain range the next day.

That evening, Lin Yun and Lu Bingning began cultivating early, leaving only Lu Tao and Guan Renjie to bicker with each other. Soon enough, however, Guan Renjie also started to cultivate. With nothing left to do, Lu Tao had no choice but to sit down cross-legged and cultivate with his eyes closed.

The night passed in silence. After a full night of cultivation, Lin Yun and the others felt not tired, but refreshed and invigorated. The injuries he had sustained the previous day were now completely healed.

"Let’s go," he said to the group, and they continued their journey deeper into the Yunlu Mountain Range.

Having been defeated by Lin Yun, Guan Renjie had completely given up any thought of revenge. For now, he planned to travel with Lin Yun and gain experience in the Yunlu Mountain Range.

The group of more than ten people traveled imposingly through the Yunlu Mountain Range. It was during this time that the true spoiled-brat nature of Guan Renjie and Lu Tao was fully revealed.

"Get the hell out of my way! Don’t you know who I am?" Walking at the back of the group, Lin Yun heard Lu Tao’s roar from a great distance. It seemed he had started another dispute with a different group.

"That’s the tenth group already," Lu Bingning said, speechless. In a single morning, Guan Renjie and Lu Tao had caused conflicts with ten different groups. If not for their superior numbers, they might have spent the entire morning fighting.

"Lu Tao, have you no sense of reason? Do you think your family owns the Yunlu Mountain Range? Do we need to report our movements to you?" Berated by Lu Tao, the other party was clearly getting angry.

"Scram! I’ll walk wherever I damn well please in this Yunlu Mountain Range!" Guan Renjie retorted arrogantly upon hearing them.

"Damn you, Guan Renjie, Lu Tao! Do you think this is Iron Gate Pass?"

"Screw you! I told you to get out of the way, so get out of the way!" Lu Tao kicked one of the men, sending him sprawling to the ground. Guan Renjie immediately rushed forward as well, and the two of them began punching and kicking the man on the ground.

"Guan Renjie! Lu Tao! You’ve gone too far!" Seeing Lu Tao and Guan Renjie attack without a second word, the other group drew into fighting stances. They weren’t afraid of Guan Renjie and Lu Tao themselves; what gave them pause were their fathers. At this moment, however, they had clearly reached their limit and were prepared to teach the two a proper lesson.

Seeing the other party prepare to fight, Lu Tao gave a contemptuous smile and shouted back over his shoulder, "Sister! Brother-in-law! I’m being attacked! Come save me!"

Hearing this, Lin Yun could only laugh helplessly. This Lu Tao truly didn’t know the meaning of shame. Ever since he found out that Lin Yun had single-handedly defeated Guan Renjie and his entourage, Lu Tao had been calling him "Brother-in-law" with sickening sweetness.

"Lin Yun, I’m so sorry," Lu Bingning said apologetically, deeply ashamed of her brother. Ever since they started traveling together, Lin Yun was always the one cleaning up his messes.

"It’s nothing." Lin Yun smiled, signaling for Lu Bingning not to worry about it.

He strode forward quickly. When the other group saw that the newcomer was Lin Yun, they, who had been about to strike, froze for a moment.

The story of Lin Yun killing a Tier One Demon Beast with three punches, using only his physical strength, had already spread among the Martial Artists in the Yunlu Mountain Range. Therefore, no one dared to underestimate him in the slightest.

"Everyone," Lin Yun began, adopting a very humble posture, "Lu Tao is spoiled by nature. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive him. On his behalf, I, Lin Yun, offer you our sincerest apologies." After all, Lu Tao had started this whole affair and was completely in the wrong.

As Lin Yun spoke, Lu Bingning and the Guan Family guards walked over. Seeing such a large group, the other party wisely took the olive branch offered to them.

The leader of the group clasped his fist and said to Lin Yun, "Since Young Master Lin has put it that way, we will naturally give you face. Farewell."

The group quickly departed down another path. Meanwhile, Lu Tao and Guan Renjie were still cursing, "Worthless curs! They wouldn’t leave until they got a beating from this young master!"

The corner of Lin Yun’s mouth twitched. He was really starting to see that Lu Tao and Guan Renjie had absolutely no shame.
