The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 288 - 287 This Spell Seems Familiar (6th Update 2/22)
Balder, like a maniacal tiger, pounced toward Lin Yun.
He had never suffered such humiliation, but Lin Yun had even tamed the Fierce Tiger Lin Yu, so how could he fear this crazed tiger?
As Balder threw a punch, Lin Yun twisted his waist, sidestepped, grabbed Balder’s arm, pulled, twisted again, and then threw several punches at Balder’s side in quick succession, landing five fast punches.
Balder saw his left arm firmly caught by Lin Yun, unable to break free, so he attacked with his right fist.
Lin Yun once again deflected the attack and kicked Balder in the chest, sending him stumbling back several steps.
The hands are two doors, all depend on the feet to defeat a person.
After the Snow Maiden had been bested in wrestling by Lin Yun, she worried that Lin Yun wouldn’t be able to exert his full strength, oblivious to the fact that Lin Yun possessed an alarmingly high combat talent.
He could learn a martial technique after watching it once and could also apply it proficiently. Agile and with keen senses, in hand-to-hand combat without any fancy tricks, he could fully leverage his advantages.
His combat instinct was purely innate. Lin Yun’s greatest talent should have been fleeing, coupled with his clever mind, always ready to prepare an escape before danger struck.
When Lin Yun initiated combat, he had a ninety-nine percent certainty of control.
As for why not a hundred percent, of course, because there’s always an element of unpredictability, not speaking in absolutes is the real mark of stability.
"Do you submit?"
Lin Yun knew that the damage he inflicted on Balder was minimal—the guy’s muscles were just too tough, and hitting him rebounded on Lin Yun himself, so much so that Lin Yun dared not use all his strength in his attacks.
One shouldn’t end up injuring oneself in the process.
Today also happened to be the day Master Lin performed his scraping therapy—but others weren’t aware of that!
All they saw was Balder being completely dominated by Lin Yun, not knowing that Lin Yun was performing a scraping.
Only then did Lin Yun pose this question, the damage low, but the humiliation, immense; Balder immediately flew into a rage.
He roared, his body lit up with a coppery glow. Instantly, his muscles seemed as if they were coated with a layer of lubricant, appearing highly lustrous.
But Lin Yun truly felt a headache coming on.
If they could become warriors, it certainly wasn’t just because of their strength. This skill that increased both power and defense with a simple shout left Lin Yun rather speechless.
Wasn’t this bullying?
Don’t I have any skills?
I do... but none that I can use right now.
Thunderbolt won’t work, as it’s not a power controlled by Xuanwu, but by White Tiger. Being a Divine Child of the Snow Mountain God, yet possessing the power of another’s domain, not using one’s own Divine Power might cause suspicions that this child belonged to the neighbor, old White.
Hey, that seems right in more than one sense.
Balder showed no martial virtue—bullying the weak was bad enough, but using a skill made even Wutulu somewhat unable to watch. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Brother, this... I think you’re in danger.
The Snow Maiden glared at Balder with utter hostility, ready to strike back if he dared to injure Lin Yun.
The furious Balder couldn’t care less anymore; he just wanted to smash the pretty boy before him into the ground. This was one of the Grassland People’s flaws, being physically strong made them easily swayed by emotions.
Now, anger clouded his judgment, and he completely forgot that he had originally intended to just intimidate Lin Yun with a warning. Now that he was fighting in earnest, there was no turning back.
Although his head was clouded, his battle consciousness remained intact. He knew that once he got close to Lin Yun, his attacks would be caught and nullified. So, he figured it was better to attack from a distance.
"Hanyan Fist!"
Balder pounded the ground with his fists, the shockwaves heading straight for Lin Yun. Cracks spread from where his fists struck. Feeling the trembling ground, Lin Yun knew he couldn’t take it head-on, so he had to jump up.
This played right into Balder’s plan—his Hanyan Fist was merely to force Lin Yun into the air. The real finishing move awaited behind.
After Lin Yun leaped into the air, he immediately followed with a Rising Dragon Fist, so quick it caught people off guard.
While in the air, Lin Yun was already falling, with nowhere to leverage.
Balder revealed a cruel smile; however, the Lin Yun who was supposed to be falling suddenly performed a mid-air double jump.
The force of his punch hit Lin Yun, but Lin Yun also stepped on his fist, using that force, he shot up into the sky.
As he ascended, Lin Yun was contemplating which method to use to defeat Balder.
He couldn’t use spells; even scraping therapy wouldn’t work at this point.
The only thing he could use was water spells; in fact, Lin Yun wasn’t lacking in water—Little Gold had mentioned before that his kidney’s water was ample.
"Little Gold, do you know any water-type spells?"
Before Little Gold could answer, Xiao Qing quickly responded, "I do!"
After transforming into a dragon, her mind contained many strange pieces of knowledge.
Healing spells were just one type; she knew water spells as well.
"Master, listen to my chant: ’The Divine proclaims Qing Nu, Water Spirit Ancestor, Royal Waters Repel Waves...’"
Lin Yun listened to Xiao Qing, focusing as he chanted the verse, ’The Divine proclaims Qing Nu, Water Spirit Ancestor...’
Eh, why does this part seem familiar?
But there was no time to ponder it now; Lin Yun felt he was being watched, and he could only continue chanting.
Otherwise, something bad might happen—Lin Yun had a premonition.
"Royal Waters Repel Waves, Waves Break a Thousand Mountains!"
The chant was only four lines long, and as he finished the last two, Lin Yun felt Spiritual Power gushing out of him, and water from an unknown source fell from the sky. Everyone waiting for Lin Yun to fall was astounded.
They didn’t catch Lin Yun but were caught in a downpour...
The water falling from the sky should be called rain, right?
But why did this rain resemble sea waves so much?
The deluge targeted only Balder, wave after wave, washing him away directly. Coincidentally, the path he was washed along included a military camp, and countless tents were swept away as well.
The remaining people were dumbstruck—was Balder washed away by water?
Was this a river?
How would this battle be counted?
Zhang Ling was the first to recover and yelled, "Save them first!"
The military camp was breached, and the great waves had swept away many Grassland warriors; they could only chase the waves now to rescue their people.
As for Balder, no worries—he couldn’t die.
Bai Jiaojiao and Xiao Qing had already arrived, bringing along the original members of the Great Mist Tribe.
On his way to the rescue, Lin Yun took advantage of the chaos to meet them and directly shared intelligence through Divine Sense Voice Transmission.
Afterward, Lin Yun joined the Snow Maiden in the rescue mission.
Atop Mountain and Sea Pass, Yuheng who had been observing the enemy camp also noticed the unusual movement of the enemy forces.
With a great flood sweeping through the army camp, Grassland People did not possess spellcasting abilities; the allied reinforcements must have arrived.
If that were the case, they certainly couldn’t let their comrades fight alone.
"Fellow Daoists, our reinforcements have arrived; let’s burst out!"
