The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 298 - 297: Attrition War (Fifth Update 4/25)
To give credit where credit is due, Lin Yun hadn’t expected his spear to be so fierce; it truly was a Divine Artifact.
But...
Was this the right time for him to show off?
Lin Yun felt that this damned spear was just screwing him over.
After shattering Lin Yu’s sword, Lin Yun didn’t press the attack. Instead, he adopted the poised stance of an expert who stops at a touch, adding a remark, "Is that all you’ve got?"
The Snow Maiden looked on, brimming with satisfaction. ’My Ah Yun is indeed formidable.’
Lin Yu had not lost her fighting spirit; her strongest asset wasn’t the sword in her hands, but the one in her heart, which she just hadn’t revealed yet. Family squabbles weren’t supposed to be so serious, right?
And she couldn’t reveal her trump card in front of the Snow Maiden. For the moment, she felt somewhat at a loss.
Was she to engage Lin Yun in close combat?
What if she ended up captured alive like the Flower Fairy?
Just then, Dongfang Hongyue arrived.
"You all retreat. Let me have a round with him."
Seeing that Dongfang Hongyue had also joined, Lin Yun couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Once there were three heroes fighting Lu Bu, now there are three women battling Lin Yun.
If the battlefield were different, perhaps Lin Yun would be more excited.
Seeing Dongfang Hongyue step into the fray, the Snow Maiden fervently wished she could fight in Lin Yun’s stead to avenge the blow she had received previously. However, Lin Yun showed no intention of stepping down. Now was a good opportunity for him to build his reputation.
The crazed woman who terrified Zhang Ling became just another notch on Lin Yun’s belt, which had already sufficed to boost his prestige. Confronting another would only serve to further amplify Lin Yun’s fame.
Considering this, the Snow Maiden decided not to intervene.
Bai Jiaojiao, watching the battle, felt something was amiss.
This isn’t supposed to be a losing battle, is it?
Why was Lin Yun becoming more formidable with each fight, defeating two enemies in a row? What kind of new strategy was this?
Bai Jiaojiao was somewhat perplexed.
Green Snake, on the other hand, was observing the movements of others in secret.
This undercover mission involved three participants; because Green Snake’s sudden absence would raise suspicion over Lin Yun and Bai Jiaojiao’s identities, yet there was no specific task given to Green Snake. For a while, she felt like a fifth wheel.
Luckily, she was accustomed to being in the background.
Yet as a serpent with dreams, she wished to be of some use rather than just muddying the waters.
Now, she was keeping an eye on the other Warriors.
While the Grassland People were sharp, they did not cultivate their Divine Soul, making them less sensitive to such covert surveillance that wasn’t malicious or targeted at a single individual, especially since Green Snake was naturally adept at stealth, having previously served as a scout for her team.
Observing these Warriors, she found a way to make herself useful.
Following Lin Yun’s victory, everyone else seemed exhilarated, except for Balder, who, beneath his outwardly happy facade, harbored a clear displeasure.
Was it because of a grudge from yesterday’s battle?
Green Snake took mental note of this and planned to inform Lin Yun later.
By that time, Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue had already clashed.
To tell the truth, the previous two fights felt staged, as if Lin Yu and Flower Fairy had formed a group to ’feed’ Lin Yun experience and fame.
In the end, they still hadn’t dared to use their full strength, fearing they might injure Lin Yun; they hadn’t expected him to strike with such ferocity and catch them off guard instead.
When it came to Dongfang Hongyue, however, she was well aware of what she was dealing with.
However, the Flower Fairy was somewhat worried. She knew about Dongfang Hongyue’s grudge against Lin Yun. What if Dongfang Hongyue took this opportunity to deal with Lin Yun? What then?
The scenario she had been worried about indeed happened, only to see Dongfang Hongyue unleashing a rain of fire from the sky, and in the next instant, she appeared behind Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was known for his speed, but Dongfang Hongyue’s was so fast that even his eyes could not keep up.
Lin Yu and Flower Fairy cried out in admiration, for they actually had similar spells, but had not used them since they thought Lin Yun’s combat ability was mediocre and intended to subdue him head-on, only to end up being subdued by him instead.
In just one exchange, Dongfang Hongyue had subdued Lin Yun, standing behind him with her arms around him and her fingers placed on his chest.
Snow Maiden reached for Fulong, intending to counterattack, only to hear Dongfang Hongyue say, "You can try and see if I kill him first, or if your Divine Weapon can hit me first."
"You! Despicable!"
Seeing Lin Yun already subdued by Dongfang Hongyue, Snow Maiden was both angry and regretful.
She wished she hadn’t let Lin Yun take the risk, never expecting that after defeating both Flower Fairy and Lin Yu, he would be utterly defenseless against Dongfang Hongyue.
"Step back nicely, and we will take this brother of yours with us for now."
As she spoke, Dongfang Hongyue’s other hand was on Lin Yun’s neck, holding him hostage as she retreated towards Mountain and Sea Pass.
The Grassland People were stunned at this moment, wondering if one could really just grab someone and leave like that.
Only Balder was excited, bellowing, "Let’s go, reclaim the Divine Child!"
Lin Yun took the opportunity of breakfast to gain some reputation, ensuring that when he was captured, Snow Maiden wouldn’t be the only one who cared about him.
But now Balder had taken the lead, and it seemed that some were ready to launch a full-scale attack.
"Stop!"
Snow Maiden halted everyone’s assault and looked coldly at Dongfang Hongyue, saying coldly, "Give you one day to state your terms and return Ah Yun; otherwise, don’t blame me for embarking on a killing spree!"
With that, Snow Maiden repeatedly smashed the walls of Mountain and Sea Pass, quickly creating a hole.
The walls of Mountain and Sea Pass were protected by a Formation, yet they were punctured in one hit, which obviously, made the defenses as good as nonexistent in front of Snow Maiden’s Divine Artifact.
The people on the ramparts looked solemn, Yuheng even contemplating whether to directly call over the Sect Leader.
Lin Yu then looked at Flower Fairy, asking, "Are you confident you can deal with her?"
Flower Fairy shook her head; she actually had a certain level of confidence but knew she’d have to pay a painful price to access that power.
The price she could afford, but afterward, she would be exposed, which wasn’t worth it.
Then it seems I may have to try and see if I can withstand it.
Both parties entered a ceasefire phase, but the atmosphere grew even more tense.
Not just at the site where the two armies faced off, but also in the room where Lin Yun was interrogated, the mood was particularly heavy.
This was a tribunal, with Lin Yu, Dongfang Hongyue, and Flower Fairy present.
After Dongfang Hongyue brought Lin Yun back, once they were alone, Flower Fairy threw herself into Lin Yun’s arms.
Not only that, but she also pulled Lin Yun away from Dongfang Hongyue.
"If you’re going to capture someone, why use such an intimate posture!"
Flower Fairy could see that Dongfang Hongyue had not given up her covetous thoughts on Lin Yun.
Little did she know, Dongfang Hongyue wished she could set her on fire as she watched her embracing Lin Yun.
It’s no big deal to not use Lin Yun as an undercover agent; after all, with such strengths, he could almost take care of himself.
"Hey, stop fighting, stop fighting, our current priority is to solve this predicament," Lin Yun said, attempting to stabilize the situation before Dongfang Hongyue became angry.
Lin Yu quietly pulled Flower Fairy, who was trying to cling to Lin Yun, aside, and turned to her, saying, "You know more about Snow Maiden, you should know what’s the deal with her Divine Artifact, talk!"
Flower Fairy: "???"
Has my sister become my love rival?
