The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 246 - 245: I’ll Pick Someone for a One-on-One Challenge
Experts in combat usually stop at the first touch.
Because attaining this level of cultivation is not easy, except in very few circumstances, one wouldn’t use all their trump cards to kill another without absolute certainty.
But Lin Yu was different.
In her heart, there was only one thing, and that was to quickly kill these people, either you kill me or I kill all of you here.
The warriors who fought with her all felt their scalps tingle.
This person is fiercer than a tiger!
That murderous aura, which seemed ready to devour someone whole, just meeting her eyes was enough to chill someone to the bone.
Clearly, it was four of them surrounding one, but now it seemed like they were the ones being chased and beaten by one person.
And being continuously obstructed, Lin Yu’s killing intent grew stronger, as if filled with rage in the midst of combat.
"Decree: Execute Demons!"
This was the spell incantation of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, but Lin Yu’s incantation seemed to be missing something.
Nevertheless, the spell was still cast, dark clouds gathered, and thunder descended upon the world.
The four Grassland Warriors panicked, and simultaneously used the Blood Ignition Technique.
People of the Grassland mainly cultivate their physical body, and when they erupt in power, they burn their qi and blood. As long as they don’t harm their foundation, they can recover after a couple of days and gain increased strength momentarily.
But after using Blood Ignition, two of the warriors deployed defensive Divine Arts, while the other two charged towards Lin Yu.
The thunder falling from the ninth heaven did not strike anyone, but instead was drawn away by Lin Yu’s sword. Then, the four warriors saw a bolt of lightning coming straight at them, and the two warriors who swung their fists hit nothing; their lock-on failed to suppress Lin Yu, allowing her to dodge past.
The two warriors in a defensive stance were already decapitated, and their bodies were charred by the Power of Thunder.
The surviving two couldn’t help but draw a cold breath; this woman was terrifying to such an extent!
Seeing the character ’king’ faintly visible on Lin Yu’s forehead, they even began to entertain thoughts of readying themselves for execution.
Huyan Jue, who was evenly matched with Yuquan in close combat, was furious to death.
What’s wrong with you guys, four against one and you still got two killed?
These lower-ranked warriors were also equivalent to the top-ceiling Celestial Knowing Realm powerhouses. Although there was a gap compared to the Central Plains’ Enlightened Realm powerhouses, it shouldn’t be that four of them couldn’t beat one.
Grassland people are known for their tough physical bodies and are quite difficult to deal with; it was unexpected that in such a short time, Lin Yu had slain two of them.
Weren’t the remaining two in danger?
If Lin Yu killed the other two, what would he do?
He originally thought Dongfang Hongyue was the strongest, but then Yuquan struck him with a sword. He believed Yuquan was his greatest opponent, but now Lin Yu had cleanly killed two of his subordinates.
With his strength, winning amidst a four-person siege wasn’t difficult, but killing the enemy was almost impossible, let alone resolving the fight so cleanly and swiftly.
In other words, this Lin Yu was also stronger than him.
Damn it, hadn’t the Grand Shaman said that the Central Plains were in constant internal strife and were also harassed by the Demon Tribe, having no spare strength to defend?
Could it be that the Central Plains people had anticipated his brilliant plan to launch a surprise attack on the Mountain and River Pass? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Now that defeat was apparent, an early decision had to be made.
"Retreat quickly!"
The group battle had collapsed and the situation was dire, it was time to retreat quickly.
At the command of Wutulu, the two warriors who survived Lin Yu’s hands fled like they were pardoned, running for their lives.
Lin Yu naturally would not let them go and chased after them.
Huyan Jue was not inclined to linger in battle either, he summoned his Snow Wolf, mounted it, and disappeared out of sight.
This mount was indeed very swift.
It was better that Huyan Jue ran. Dongfang Hongyue had no intention of achieving a complete wipeout, but she and Yuquan ought to be able to keep Wutulu back.
"Don’t think you have won this battle. When I come next time, I will break down your fortresses, and all of you will be..."
Wutulu’s harsh words had lingered too long, so much so that before he could finish speaking, he was smothered in the face with fire by Dongfang Hongyue, closely followed by Yuquan’s Immortal Sword.
Fuck, do Central Plains people have no manners, not even letting someone finish speaking?
"Wutulu, why are you in such a sorry state."
As Wutulu prepared to employ a secret technique to escape, a man riding a pig appeared.
He and his pig were alike, both broad and plump, encased in layers of fat, which was, of course, not to Wutulu’s taste, who adored muscle. But at that moment, seeing this chubby man, he happily thought about going over to hug him and spin him around a few times.
"Oh, my Bandarawa, your timing couldn’t be more perfect. I swear I’ll never mock your fat again, and if I do, you can kick my ass with those leather boots of yours."
Reinforcements appeared for the enemy, none other than the fattest among the Eighteen Warriors, still ranking above Wutulu, positioned as the fourth warrior.
The previously retreating Grassland Warriors, upon seeing another warrior from the Snow Mountain Divine Church, immediately regained their fighting spirit.
Reinforcements had arrived, and not just one.
After the plump Bandarawa made his entrance, a man in a Central Plains scholar’s robe, riding a fierce tiger, appeared.
He too bore the appearance of a Central Plains man, and despite riding a ferocious tiger, he maintained an air of refined grace.
With his arrival, Wutulu didn’t dare to be mischievous and became obedient as a chicken.
This man not only looked like someone from the Central Plains, but he also had a Central Plains name, known as Zhang Ling. Within the Eighteen Warriors, he ranked second, the strongest contender in this campaign.
The arrival of two masters instantly turned the tide of the one-sided situation.
"Retreat!"
Dongfang Hongyue was the first to give the command and prepared to cover the retreat.
Unlike the Grassland People who thought of abandoning their comrades and fleeing at the first sign of trouble, the three of them had the strength to cover a retreat.
With a big shot in command, the cultivators immediately retreated in an orderly manner toward the direction of Mountain and River Pass, with Lin Yu, Dongfang Hongyue, and Yuquan ready to confront the enemy.
Dongfang Hongyue and Yuquan exchanged a look, the two sly foxes understanding each other’s thoughts: once the ordinary disciples had safely retreated, they would slip away.
With their strength, buying some time wouldn’t be a problem.
Huyan Jue, who had fled earlier, along with two other warriors, returned. The enemy had four Enlightened Realm and two Celestial Knowing Realm fighters; they no longer had any chance of victory.
A safe retreat was possible, and with the help of Formation’s power, they could still mount a defense.
The arrival of so many powerful enemies was also a good thing, as it meant that the pressure on Mountain and Sea Pass would lessen, which was an unexpected joy. Their original intention to launch a surprise attack was to alleviate the pressure on the pass.
"State your name before approaching. Under Zhang’s spear, nameless ones shall not be slain."
Zhang Ling, holding a long spear, bore the aura of a scholarly general. Yuquan stroked his beard and replied with a light smile, "Taiqing Dao’s Yuquan. Boy, do you dare to challenge me alone?"
Zhang Ling: "..."
Unlike some simpletons, he had gathered information on Central Plains’ experts prior to the war, and Yuquan just happened to be among them.
The second strongest of the Taiqing Daoist Temple, effectively the second strongest of Great Zhou—a tough nut to crack, indeed.
"You are advanced in years; best to step aside. This general does not bully the weak. And who are you?"
Zhang Ling turned to Dongfang Hongyue.
"I am the Leader of the Red Lotus Sect, Dongfang Hongyue."
Zhang Ling: "..."
The Red Lotus Demon Lord? That’s another heavyweight.
Isn’t there a single easier target, a ripe persimmon ready to be squished?
Finally, Zhang Ling’s gaze settled on Lin Yu.
"And you?"
"Shenxiao Sect’s Lin Yu. Do you dare to fight?"
Lin Yu? He hadn’t heard of him, so that must be the soft target.
You’re the one!
