Chapter 657: Chapter 656: Arrogant Laughter

After the Ninth Commander was slain by Lin Yun, the Second Commander led several hundred Divine Palace Warriors, along with the Third and Eighth Commanders, in a furious charge toward Lin Yun.

To the Second Commander, Lin Yun was arrogant beyond measure. ’Trying to stop my army of ten thousand Divine Palace Warriors with a mere hundred men? It’s a joke.’

Lin Yun’s arrogance, coupled with the death of the Ninth Commander, completely infuriated the Second Commander. The killing intent radiating from him made it clear that he was determined to kill Lin Yun.

"Lin Yun, you arrogant and ignorant junior! I will definitely kill you today!" the Second Commander roared furiously as he charged at Lin Yun.

Facing the assault of several hundred Divine Palace Warriors and three Commanders, Lin Yun’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. On the contrary, he actually charged forward to meet them, his Battle Intent soaring to the heavens as he roared, "Kill!"

Hearing Lin Yun’s great roar, the hundred Demon Palace Warriors also shouted in unison, "Kill!"

Like a tiger descending a mountain, Lin Yun charged directly into the Divine Palace Warriors’ encirclement. In his hands, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear became the scythe of the Death God. With every thrust, a Divine Palace Warrior was slain.

As Lin Yun killed more and more men, he accumulated more and more wounds himself. But the injured Lin Yun looked even more formidable, and the long spear in his hand seemed even more bone-white.

"Dammit..." The Second Commander’s face darkened. ’Even with so many men, we can’t kill Lin Yun.’

By now, the Second Commander had also been wounded by Lin Yun. There was a bloody hole in his right shoulder where Lin Yun had just pierced him with his spear.

The longer the fight went on, the fiercer he became. Fear was a natural human response, and Lin Yun’s Combat Power gradually struck terror into the hearts of the Divine Palace Warriors. They had been fighting the Demon Palace for a long time, but ’when had they ever seen someone so ferocious?’

It wasn’t just Lin Yun who was ferocious; the hundred Demon Palace Warriors with him were equally fierce. Facing a Divine Palace army a hundred times their number, the Demon Palace Warriors showed no fear. On the contrary, the more they killed, the more excited they became.

Across the battlefield, one could see that these Demon Palace Warriors had completely unleashed their inner lust for slaughter.

Even when wounded by Divine Palace Warriors, these Demon Palace Warriors wouldn’t so much as blink. On the contrary, their wounds seemed to be a Spirit Medicine that only excited them further.

Several Demon Palace Warriors were already grievously wounded, with gashes so deep their bones were visible. They looked as if they had no fight left in them, yet it was these severely injured Demon Palace Warriors who wore the most frenzied smiles.

"Haha, I had a hell of a time killing in this battle! Brothers, it’s up to you now!" one of the gravely injured Demon Palace Warriors laughed maniacally, his face filled with fearlessness.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and charged toward the dozens of Divine Palace Warriors surrounding him, his Spirit Soldier instantly lopping off the head of one.

However, just as he decapitated one Divine Palace Warrior, the others launched their own attacks. In an instant, he was pierced by more than ten swords and blades.

A dozen or so Divine Palace Warriors surrounded him, their Weapons all buried deep in the Demon Palace Warrior’s body.

He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, yet a smile remained on the Demon Palace Warrior’s lips. Using the last ounce of his strength, he swung his Spirit Soldier sideways, and several Divine Palace Warriors before him were instantly killed.

Having killed several more Divine Palace Warriors, the Demon Palace Warrior’s life finally reached its end. His eyes closed weakly, and his body tumbled down the mountainside.

Although his life had come to an end, a proud smile graced his lips even in death.

’Before this, I would never have dared to imagine that I alone could kill dozens of Divine Palace Warriors. Although I died in the end, this is something to be proud of.’

Scenes like this were happening all over. No fewer than five Demon Palace Warriors had already been killed, but before they died, each of them had taken the lives of dozens of Divine Palace Warriors. And every single one of them died with a proud smile on their face.

Lin Yun, who was fighting the Grand Commander and the others, also saw these fallen Demon Palace Warriors. A surge of heroic pride swelled in his heart.

"Die..." Seizing an opportunity, Lin Yun bellowed, and his long spear shot toward the Eighth Commander’s heart. Watching the spear strike at him like a lightning bolt, a look of utter terror appeared in the Eighth Commander’s eyes.

’I can’t dodge it...’ That was the only thought in the Eighth Commander’s mind. However, just as Lin Yun’s spear was about to pierce the Eighth Commander’s heart, the Second and Third Commanders arrived just in time, using their own Weapons to block the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.

Faced with their Mortal Soldiers, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear easily shattered both of their Weapons. However, in that brief instant, the Eighth Commander had managed to create distance from Lin Yun.

Having saved the Eighth Commander from a close call, the Second Commander surveyed the battlefield. Although the Divine Palace Warriors held an absolute advantage in numbers, their Battle Intent was now dismally low as they faced the hundred warriors from the Demon Palace.

In contrast, the Demon Palace Warriors were all already soaked in blood, but the wild smiles on their faces fully expressed their soaring Battle Intent.

The morale of the two sides was completely disproportionate. The Second Commander grew anxious. ’If we continue fighting like this, even if we manage to annihilate everyone from the Demon Palace, our own side will suffer devastating losses.’

’If ten thousand Divine Palace Warriors are killed here, then I, the Second Commander, will be a pariah to the Divine Palace.’

Torn by his inner conflict, the Second Commander finally ordered a retreat. He could see that the Divine Palace Warriors had already lost all their Battle Intent. Dozens, even hundreds, of Divine Palace Warriors would surround a single Demon Palace Warrior, but they would only encircle without attacking.

The Demon Palace Warriors, in contrast, were like hungry tigers. Facing an encirclement of a hundred Divine Palace Warriors, not only were they unafraid, they would even charge them with mad frenzy.

Right now, the ten thousand Divine Palace Warriors were like ten thousand sheep, while the hundred from the Demon Palace were like a hundred tigers descending a mountain. Faced with this situation, the Second Commander had no choice but to order a retreat.

Hearing the Second Commander’s order, the Divine Palace Warriors reacted as if they had been granted amnesty. They all chose to retreat at the first possible moment, without the slightest intention of continuing to fight the Demon Palace Warriors.

"These people are all lunatics. Every one of them is fighting like they want to die." This was the Divine Palace Warriors’ assessment of the hundred from the Demon Palace.

The first clash ended with the Divine Palace’s retreat. Watching the Divine Palace forces withdraw into the distance, Lin Yun and his men did not give chase. The surviving Demon Palace Warriors gathered behind Lin Yun and roared with laughter at the sight of the fleeing Divine Palace Warriors’ backs.

Their laughter was filled with arrogance. This was probably the most satisfying laugh these Demon Palace Warriors had ever had in their lives. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ
