Chapter 491: Draw His Sword!
Rumble!
Finally, Li Yun’s punch collided with the attacks of the twelve cultivators.
An earth-shattering boom rang out. The air surged backward, and dust filled the surroundings, swallowing everyone’s figures within it.
"What exactly happened? Who won this collision?"
At this moment, everyone widened their eyes and stared intently at the cloud of dust. None of them dared to blink, afraid that they would miss the most important scene.
Bang!
Suddenly, twelve figures flew backward.
The result of the collision was actually the defeat of the twelve peak 9th level Mortal Core Realm experts.
At this moment, the entire field fell into shock.
"Heavens."
"With the power of one person, he defeated sixteen peak 9th level Mortal Core Realm experts. Is this Li Yun even human?"
"He actually has such strength. Incredible. Truly incredible."
This result left everyone stunned. Shocked cries erupted one after another.
Before the battle began, everyone had believed that Li Yun was undoubtedly doomed. Facing such a terrifying lineup, they thought he would not have even the slightest ability to resist and would be killed instantly.
However, the final result was completely different from what they had imagined.
Five punches.
In only five punches, Li Yun had defeated all sixteen peak 9th level Mortal Core Realm experts.
This was simply a miracle.
"A bunch of trash."
Right then, behind Crown Prince Xing Tian, five people suddenly snorted coldly.
Then, those five stepped out at the same time, and an incredibly powerful aura immediately spread from their bodies.
Their auras clearly belonged to experts at the perfection stage of the peak 9th level Mortal Core Realm.
Five young men stood with their hands behind their backs, their expressions cold and stern. Powerful pressure emanated from each of them, proving that all five had reached the perfection stage of the peak 9th level Mortal Core Realm.
"Is that Zhuang Yue? The nineteenth-ranked expert in the Outer Sect?"
"Next to Zhuang Yue is Kong Xun, who is ranked seventeenth in the Outer Sect. He reached the peak of the 9th level Mortal Core Realm three years ago. After three years of accumulation, his strength must be even more unfathomable now."
"And there is Guan Luo, ranked sixteenth in the Outer Sect. Back then, he faced a challenger who had also reached the perfection stage of the peak 9th level Mortal Core Realm, yet he completely defeated that opponent in only three moves."
"Yu Cangfeng, ranked thirteenth in the Outer Sect, is also among them."
"And Su Yan, ranked eleventh in the Outer Sect. He once defeated three opponents at the perfection stage of the peak 9th level Mortal Core Realm by himself. When he fought Jiang Yuefeng, who ranked ninth in the Outer Sect, he lasted a full half-hour before being defeated."
"My heavens. Five experts ranked within the top twenty of the Outer Sect. Are they planning to join forces to kill Li Yun?"
"With this lineup, even killing someone ranked in the top ten of the Outer Sect would be more than enough. Unless it is Wenren Tiancang, who ranks first in the Outer Sect, everyone else would surely die."
"Too terrifying. Truly too terrifying. As expected of Crown Prince Xing Tian. With just one order, so many experts are willing to risk their lives for him."
Upon seeing these five young men, the onlookers felt their hair stand on end. A chill instantly gripped their hearts.
Each of these five young men was an expert ranked within the top twenty of the Outer Sect. If they joined forces, they could barely contend with a Half-Step Earthly Core Realm expert. Faced with such a lineup, what could Li Yun possibly use to resist?
Even though Li Yun had already defeated the violet-haired young man and fifteen others, no one was still optimistic about his chances now.
"Li Yun, for a mere cultivator at the Half-Step Mortal Core Realm, having the five of us personally take action is already a great honor. Even if you descend into the underworld after death, you can be proud of this."
Zhuang Yue stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly, "Your physical body is so strong, which means you must possess some powerful body cultivation technique. Hand it over, and I can allow you to die with slightly less pain."
"If you want my technique, then come and take it."
Li Yun’s gaze was icy as he grinned and said, "But are you sure you have that ability?"
"How dare you?"
Zhuang Yue’s face instantly turned cold.
"Ignorant lowlife, do you think defeating a few pieces of trash gives you the right to act arrogant in front of me? I will show you right now how laughable and insignificant the strength you are so proud of is before a true expert."
"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Flames Scorch the Heavens, Scorching Heaven and Earth Sword!"
Zhuang Yue let out a long cry, and a fiery red longsword appeared in his hand. Red light spread across the blade, gradually transforming into real flames. Then, with a swing of his sword, endless flames surged forth.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The scorching flames burned the void with crackling sounds. They were like a fire dragon charging down from the sky, as though they intended to burn Li Yun into ashes.
"Break."
Li Yun remained completely unfazed.
He threw out a punch, and his wild fist force directly smashed a hole through the sky full of flames.
Kong Xun sneered and said, "You can only show off in front of those worthless pieces of trash. The moment we make a move, your true nature is exposed. I advise you to quickly hand over that body cultivation technique. Perhaps I might even leave you with a whole corpse."
"Is that so?" Li Yun asked calmly as his hand moved to the hilt of his sword.
His voice was neither loud nor angry, yet the calmness in it made the atmosphere around him feel strangely heavy. A moment later, he slowly drew the sword from its sheath, and when the blade finally came free, an earth-shattering aura erupted from his body like a sleeping calamity that had just opened its eyes.
A thunderous force swept across the battlefield.
