Chapter 741 - 740: Fierce Battle with a Central Domain Demon Fiend

Chapter 741: Chapter 740: Fierce Battle with a Central Domain Demon Fiend

This was Young Master Xiao, whose full name was Xiao Naihe. Seeing the expression on his face, Meng Liuli’s expression changed slightly. She never would have thought that Lin Yun had actually become enemies with Xiao Naihe.

If it were anyone else, Meng Liuli might have been able to offer a few words of persuasion, but she was helpless when it came to Xiao Naihe.

Xiao Naihe’s status was anything but ordinary. It was common knowledge that the Spiritual Light Pavilion in the Eastern Domain only accepted female disciples, but the Spiritual Light Main Pavilion in the Central Domain was different.

The Spiritual Light Main Pavilion in the Central Domain accepted both male and female disciples. By a rule whose origins were long forgotten, among the Spiritual Light Pavilions of the Four Great Domains of East, South, West, and North, the Eastern and Southern Domains only accepted female disciples, while the Western and Northern Domains only accepted male disciples.

This Xiao Naihe was the younger son of the General Pavilion Master of the Spiritual Light Main Pavilion and was the Main Pavilion’s most notorious second-generation heir.

Xiao Naihe’s status within the Spiritual Light Main Pavilion meant that no one dared to provoke him, which in turn had fostered an arrogant, conceited, and thoroughly unreasonable disposition from a young age.

Seeing Xiao Naihe’s murderous expression, Meng Liuli was momentarily at a loss.

However, Lin Yun, who met Xiao Naihe’s gaze directly, showed no trace of fear. At first, Lin Yun had been a little frustrated. ’Why did this Xiao Naihe have to be from the Spiritual Light Main Pavilion?’

But after a moment, Lin Yun came to terms with it. ’Since it’s already happened, what can I do? I’ll just have to deal with it as it comes.’

"Brat, so you’re Lin Yun, the Young Palace Master of the Flawless Palace?" Finally learning Lin Yun’s identity, Xiao Naihe felt a surge of satisfaction. ’Now that we’re on my turf, I can already picture how pathetic Lin Yun is going to look in a little while.’

In Xiao Naihe’s mind, if he didn’t avenge the humiliation from the Pharmaceutical Instrument Master’s Guild today, he would never be able to quell the anger festering in his heart.

For someone as immeasurably proud as Xiao Naihe, the incident at the Pharmaceutical Instrument Master’s Guild was a thorn buried deep in his heart.

For some time now, Xiao Naihe had felt a stifling weight on his chest. Whenever he thought about what happened that day, a firestorm of rage would ignite within him.

’Although my father has already decided to join the Flawless Palace’s alliance, and I have no say in the matter, I can still deal with Lin Yun.’

’If I don’t make Lin Yun kneel and apologize, I’ll never be able to vent this seething rage.’

His eyes spitting fire, the Elemental Power of a Spirit Realm Minor Achievement cultivator instantly erupted from Xiao Naihe’s body. He glared at Lin Yun and said, "Lin Yun, I’ll give you two choices. One: kneel and admit you were wrong. Two: crawl back to whatever rock you came from. The Spiritual Light Pavilion will not be joining your alliance."

Hearing this, Lin Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly. ’I knew he would use the alliance as leverage, but I never expected him to be this arrogant. Kneel and admit I was wrong? Is that even possible?’

Before Lin Yun could speak, however, Meng Liuli cut in. "Second Young Master, the General Pavilion Master personally decided on the matter of this alliance. You have no authority to alter his decision."

Meng Liuli had contradicted him to his face. For a moment, Xiao Naihe’s expression grew even more sinister. He turned to her, practically grinding his teeth as he spoke.

"Fine. I don’t have the authority to change that decision. But I should have the authority to kill this brat right here, today, shouldn’t I?"

With that, Xiao Naihe barked at the two Saint Guards beside him, "You two, go tie up those two Saints. I will kill this brat with my own hands."

Hearing Xiao Naihe’s command, the two Saint Guards instantly attacked Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint. In a flash, the four Saints were locked in combat.

To avoid damaging the Spiritual Light Pavilion, the four of them tacitly moved their battle into the void. Their figures vanished as they disappeared into the emptiness.

With Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint gone, the look on Xiao Naihe’s face became utterly savage, as if he wanted to eat Lin Yun alive.

"Lin Yun, if I don’t kill you here today, I’ll be your son!" With that declaration, Xiao Naihe instantly lunged at Lin Yun.

As the second son of the General Pavilion Master of the Spiritual Light Main Pavilion, one could say that Xiao Naihe had been standing at the peak of the Celestial Spirit Continent since the day he was born.

From childhood to adulthood, everything Xiao Naihe obtained was the best the Celestial Spirit Continent had to offer: the best Cultivation Technique, the best Martial Skills, the best Elixirs, and even the best Weapon.

A longsword materialized in Xiao Naihe’s hand. The sharp aura emanating from it immediately told Lin Yun that this was a Treasure Soldier.

Wielding the Treasure Soldier, Xiao Naihe’s aura surged. However, Lin Yun was unafraid in the face of his attack. Fighting as he retreated, he and Xiao Naihe soon moved out of the Main Hall and took their battle to the skies above the Spiritual Light Pavilion.

As Lin Yun and Xiao Naihe battled, Meng Liuli and the others hurried outside the Main Hall. Watching the two fight fiercely in the sky, everyone felt deeply conflicted.

Xiao Naihe’s status was extraordinary, so Meng Liuli certainly couldn’t help Lin Yun stop him. On the other hand, she wouldn’t help Xiao Naihe kill Lin Yun, either.

Trapped in a dilemma, the upper echelons of the Spiritual Light Pavilion could only watch helplessly as the battle between Lin Yun and Xiao Naihe raged on.

Standing beside Meng Liuli, Xi Zijin watched the battle in the sky, her eyes filled with worry for Lin Yun.

In his battle with Xiao Naihe, Lin Yun didn’t dare to be careless. He had long since gripped his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. Despite Xiao Naihe being a second-generation heir, his combat power was truly remarkable.

At the very least, the former Five Great Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain were nothing more than ants in Xiao Naihe’s eyes.

Although Xiao Naihe was a profligate son, his cultivation and strength were genuine. He was a Demon Fiend ranked thirty-fifth on the Green Hero Venerable List.

’This is the first time I’ve fought a Demon Fiend from the Central Domain. Moreover, it’s the first time I’ve ever met someone in my own realm who can trade blows with me so evenly.’

Battle Intent shot up from his body. It wasn’t in Lin Yun’s character to feel the slightest fear due to Xiao Naihe’s status. If Xiao Naihe truly pushed him too far, Lin Yun wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.

Unlike Lin Yun, Xiao Naihe—who had already drawn his Treasure Soldier—was enraged. After dozens of exchanges, he still hadn’t defeated Lin Yun, and the fury in his heart was about to burst.

Xiao Naihe knew that the spear in Lin Yun’s hand was merely a Celestial Spirit Soldier. ’And he’s from the Eastern Domain,’ he thought. ’There should be a huge gap between us in every respect.’

’Against someone like him, I should be scoring a crushing victory, not getting stuck in a drawn-out battle!’

"You country bumpkin from the Eastern Domain! Today, I’ll show you the difference between one of your so-called Demon Fiends and a true Demon Fiend from the Central Domain!" With a furious roar, Xiao Naihe slashed down with his longsword.

Seeing this, Lin Yun chose not to dodge. He swept his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear out to block, and their weapons collided violently in mid-air.
