Chapter 749: Chapter 748: Unbelievable

Xiao Naihe couldn’t begin to describe the feeling in his heart. After meeting Lin Yun, all his pride felt as if it had been viciously trampled.

His strength was inferior to Lin Yun’s, and they were the same age. Now, even his final trump card, the Saint’s Mark, had failed to kill Lin Yun.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Lin Yun and his companion fiercely resisting the giant hand. Xiao Naihe truly felt an urge to go mad. ’Why? Why would someone like this appear in the Eastern Domain...?’

The cracks on the giant hand grew more and more distinct, spreading across it like a spiderweb. At the same time, the phantom Saint behind Xiao Naihe began to show the same signs, with more and more fissures appearing on its body.

’They did it! Lin Yun and Little Ape actually did it!’ Just as Meng Liuli and the others were thinking this, the giant hand, with only a final sliver of its power remaining, was not completely shattered.

Instead, it was Lin Yun and Little Ape who couldn’t hold on any longer. The bloody light surrounding their bodies grew dimmer, and Little Ape’s body shrank back down to ten meters in size.

At that moment, Lin Yun’s Thunderfire Bombardment shattered completely. Lin Yun, who had been enveloped in Flame, reappeared before everyone’s eyes.

The Cyan Dragon Shadow beneath his feet also transformed into a streak of cyan light and vanished into his body.

They had been just a hair’s breadth away from success. But the power of a Saint was truly not to be underestimated. Looking at the giant hand descending upon him once more, a bitter smile appeared on Lin Yun’s face.

"My cultivation is still not enough..." he murmured softly. He then turned to look at Little Ape, and the two brothers-in-arms shared a smile.

In truth, Lin Yun’s cultivation speed was already incredibly fast. Since breaking through to the Opening Realm, his long accumulation of power had finally burst forth, allowing him to reach the Spirit Realm in less than a decade.

Consider Little Ape—its cultivation was only about the same as Lin Yun’s, but its bloodline was exceptionally potent. Across the entire Celestial Spirit Continent, there was likely no one other than Lin Yun who could match Little Ape’s growth rate.

As for Celestial Saint Realm Saints like the Spiritual Light Pavilion Master, which one of them wasn’t an old monster who had cultivated for hundreds, if not thousands, of years? Compared to them, what Lin Yun lacked wasn’t cultivation, but time. After all, he was still far too young.

But a loss was a loss. In the end, they still couldn’t shatter the Saint’s Mark’s attack. Both Lin Yun and Little Ape were covered in blood, their strength long since exhausted. They didn’t even have the power for Sky Control anymore. Lin Yun and Little Ape plummeted toward the main square below.

They both landed on the main square of the Spiritual Light Pavilion, and the giant hand, with only a sliver of power left, blasted toward Lin Yun once more.

Although its power was less than a tenth of what it was before, Lin Yun truly had no strength left to resist the giant hand’s assault.

In the end, the Saint’s Mark still had the upper hand. The smile on Xiao Naihe’s face had become utterly savage. He wanted Lin Yun dead; no matter the method, he had to die.

At this moment, Xiao Naihe himself didn’t even realize that in the face of Lin Yun, he had completely cast aside all his precious pride.

Instead of thinking about how to surpass Lin Yun, he was desperate to eliminate him. Why? Because deep down, Xiao Naihe had grown to fear Lin Yun.

In his own heart, he had already accepted that he was inferior to Lin Yun.

The crowd watched helplessly as the giant hand descended upon Lin Yun and Little Ape. By now, the two of them didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger. And at this moment, Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint, who were battling in the void, naturally knew that Lin Yun’s life was hanging by a thread.

However, they couldn’t just break away to save him. Xiao Naihe’s two Saint Guards were pinning them down, leaving them completely tied up.

"I admit, for someone in the Spirit Realm to get this far is already a miracle. Even in the Central Domain, you could count the number of young people capable of this on two hands. But against the Saint’s Mark of a Celestial Saint, he is still too weak. The outcome is set. The two of you can stop thinking about saving him," one of Xiao Naihe’s Saint Guards said coldly.

To be honest, even the two of them were utterly shocked that Lin Yun could achieve this. Not even the top ten Demon Fiends on the Green Hero Venerable List could have withstood a strike from a Celestial Saint’s Mark.

Although Lin Yun had Little Ape’s help, a scene like this was still enough to astonish everyone, including the Saints.

Hearing this, Flowing Water Saint unleashed a sudden shockwave, blasting the two guards several meters back. A strange smile then spread across her face. Seeing this, the nearby Qingfeng Saint seemed to guess what was happening. His eyes filled with apprehension as he looked at her, and he even put a little distance between them.

"Such a likable little brother. How could your big sister bear to let you die? Today, I’ll make an exception just for you," she said with a light chuckle. As her words fell, the aura around Flowing Water Saint suddenly surged.

As her aura flared, her entire body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of water, with ripples constantly spreading outwards.

This change in Flowing Water Saint made Xiao Naihe’s two Saint Guards frown deeply. One of them stared wide-eyed and said in disbelief, "This is..."

"Clear Water, Flowing Waves..." But just as he spoke, Flowing Water Saint let out a low cry. Her figure then bizarrely vanished, reappearing in front of the two guards in an instant.

An incredible scene followed. With a slight movement of her hands, as if drawing two circles in the air, Flowing Water Saint instantly encased both guards in water bubbles.

Trapped within the bubbles, the two guards attacked relentlessly, trying to break the seal. However, their attacks were utterly useless, only creating ripples on the surface of the water.

After subduing the two in an instant, Flowing Water Saint didn’t linger. She took a single step, and just as the giant hand was about to crash down on Lin Yun and Little Ape, she emerged from the void, appearing before them.

"Flowing Water..." Lin Yun called out with great effort, looking at the back of the figure standing before him.

"Little brother, you owe your big sister a life now..." She turned and gave Lin Yun a charming smile, and then the aura around Flowing Water Saint swelled to its absolute peak.

She extended her hands, and a massive water bubble enveloped the entire Elemental Power palm. Sealed within it, the giant hand that had been crashing down bizarrely vanished.

To shatter the attack from the Saint’s Mark so easily—the scene was so bizarre that the surrounding crowd fell completely silent.

The entire area was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Flowing Water Saint was only at the Earth Saint Realm of cultivation, yet she had so easily shattered an attack from a Celestial Saint’s Mark. This...
