Chapter 1010: You Mock Lin Chen for Lacking Connections, I Mock You for Lacking Strength
The appearance of Yin Wushuang, the Supreme Elder of the Canglan Sect, seemed to instantly drain all sound and air from the surroundings.
Without a world-shaking momentum, he crossed the massive mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect in just three steps, directly stepping into the sky over the lake.
Yet this effortless and space-conquering method itself contained a suffocating pressure.
Let alone that before his appearance, the image of that giant finger imprint still lingered in everyone’s mind.
A top-tier expert of the Innate Sixth Realm was crushed into a pulp by a single finger, and the reason the pit could still hold the pulp wasn’t due to a lack of power from the finger; it was deliberate.
Dongfang Canglang’s face was livid. Even when beating a dog, one looks at the owner first, yet this Supreme Elder of the Canglan Sect had killed his servant, trampling on his face.
“This…”
“So it’s Brother Yin!”
Just as Dongfang Canglang began to speak, a figure appeared at his side, speaking first.
“Young Master, bear with it for now.”
The elder in dark robes appeared in front of Dongfang Canglang, first saluting Yin Wushuang, then transmitting his voice to the young master.
Dongfang Canglang was stunned; he didn’t expect Master Xu to tell him not to speak. Could Yin Wushuang dare to strike at him?
With the appearance of the elder in dark robes, the Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect, the elder in red, also appeared.
“It’s been a long time, Brother Yin. Your demeanor remains as ever.”
Shan Hong spoke with a smile, when the Moon Soul Race Empress arrived, he could choose not to appear, as she was just a child, but with Yin Wushuang’s arrival, he couldn’t remain inactive.
Yin Wushuang looked at Shan Hong and said blandly, “You are not as good as your senior brother.”
Upon these words, Shan Hong’s expression changed slightly, and the arriving Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect along with other elders looked grim, as it marked a denial of their senior uncle by the Supreme Elder of the Canglan Sect.
“Since your Ten Thousand Flames Sect chooses to stand aside, just watch.”
Yin Wushuang showed no regard to Shan Hong. Compared to courage, Shan Hong was far inferior to his senior brother Yan Hao. If Yan Hao were here, would Dongfang Canglang dare to act recklessly on the Ten Thousand Flames Sect’s ground?
Unfortunately, Yan Hao passed away early, which explains the decline of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect.
With a look of shame, Shan Hong heard the dissatisfaction in Yin Wushuang’s words, and what outsiders didn’t know was that his senior brother and Yin Wushuang were close friends.
Drawing his gaze from Shan Hong, Yin Wushuang still didn’t respond to the Myriad Phenomena Realm expert in front of Dongfang Canglang but turned his eyes to Yan Hui, his gaze flat yet as if wrapped in a thousand-year cold abyss.
Yan Hui felt the air around him suddenly solidify, as if an invisible mountain were crashing down.
“If the Royal Family’s descendants are like you, the Flame Dynasty indeed deserves to fall.”
Yin Wushuang’s tone was calm, yet to all the martial artists present, it was no less than a thunderclap.
The Flame Dynasty must fall!
Such forbidden words, and yet the Supreme Elder of the Canglan Sect dared to utter them. Could it provoke the Royal Family and bring calamity upon the Canglan Sect?
Even Lin Chen, who was taking pill medicine to heal, displayed shock upon hearing his own Supreme Elder’s words.
“Elder Yin, your words are far too impudent. Li You was killed by Lin Chen, what does it have to do with the Royal Family?”
Yan Hui’s face showed anger; it was the first time someone blatantly said in front of him that the Royal Family deserved to be destroyed, even more arrogantly than Dongfang Canglang.
“Well, it has nothing to do with your Royal Family!”
Yin Wushuang laughed, his calm eyes again gazing at Yan Hui.
This time Yan Hui not only felt terrifying pressure but even his Divine Soul began to tremble, his face lost all color, his lips shivering uncontrollably; he wanted to maintain his prince’s dignity and stand straight, but he simply couldn’t.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood overflowed from his throat, Yan Hui could no longer bear it, blood sprayed out as he staggered back several steps before stopping.
Hiss!
The scene fell into silence.
Nobody expected the Supreme Elder of the Canglan Sect would dare strike the Third Prince, it was beyond mere verbal disrespect to the Royal Family.
Shan Hong saw the scene, his eyes also showing emotion, finally understanding why his own senior brother said Yin Wushuang of the Canglan Sect was a rare invincible figure of his time.
It was not just strength but having an invincible heart.
If it were him, he probably wouldn’t strike the Third Prince, at most verbally scold him.
But Yin Wushuang did it, in front of so many martial artists, this matter couldn’t be hidden and would surely spread across the Flame Dynasty.
This was no longer giving the Royal Family any face.
Dongfang Canglang’s eyelids also twitched; he understood why Master Xu stopped him earlier—Yin Wushuang of the Canglan Sect was a madman.
The Canglan Sect was already facing an alliance of three major forces, yet still dared to offend the Royal Family, did he truly fear sect destruction?
“I will remember today’s humiliation.”
Yan Hui’s face was flushed red; today was the first time Dongfang Canglang truly showed up before the world, but was it not also his first appearance in front of martial artists outside Central State?
And the humiliation he suffered today would surely spread throughout the Flame Dynasty, and at this moment, Yan Hui’s heart was filled with immense hatred towards Yin Wushuang, the Canglan Sect, and Lin Chen.
“Are you thinking that with your background, I dare not kill you?”
Yin Wushuang raised his finger, and seeing Yin Wushuang raise his hand, Yan Hui’s expression changed dramatically this instant. He sensed the aura of death; this man… would really dare to kill him.
Without any hesitation, Yan Hui reached into his chest and pulled out a jade token. The token burst into golden light in midair, transforming into a Golden Shield.
However, the Golden Shield only lasted three breaths under Yin Wushuang’s ice-blue ray of light, and after three breaths, the shield shattered, allowing the ice-blue ray to continue shooting toward Yan Hui.
“Brother Yin, please calm down.”
Shan Hong’s figure flickered, appearing in front of Yan Hui, and simultaneously, a wall of fire appeared in front of him. The ice-blue ray fell onto the firewall, piercing through in just a few breaths. The ice-blue ray landed on Shan Hong, forcing him to step back half a step.
Another person, Xu Shuzhi, witnessing this scene, had his pupils contract; this Yin Wushuang was stronger than he had imagined.
Wasn’t it said Yin Wushuang’s breakthrough failed, and his power should have declined?
“Third Prince, do not speak further, let’s go.”
Shan Hong did not look at Yin Wushuang, because he knew Yin Wushuang had just spared them at the last moment; otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed only a half-step retreat.
“Third Prince.”
Yan Feng stepped forward to support Yan Hui, his expression complex. This time, the Third Prince had thoroughly lost face in front of the world’s martial artists.
But more importantly, the words of the Supreme Elder from the Canglan Sect earlier would surely spread throughout the Flame Dynasty, and the matter of the dynasty’s fortune dissipating could no longer be hidden.
Fortune is exceedingly mysterious; if the world doesn’t know of it, it’s somewhat controllable for fortune to dissipate, but once everyone knows, its dissipation will only accelerate.
The Dongfang Clan dared not announce such matters, not willing to be the ones hastening fortune’s dissipation, lest they provoke backlash from the Divine Seal, but the Supreme Elder from the Canglan Sect clearly disregarded these concerns.
This time, the Royal Family suffered a significant loss.
Yan Hui lowered his head, not daring to lift it again, fearing the hatred in his eyes might lead Yin Wushuang to seize the opportunity to act against him.
Even the Life-Protecting Treasure given by his grandfather failed to withstand Yin Wushuang’s strike, leaving him with no remaining life-saving items.
Yan Hui and Yan Feng left, but everyone present knew that the matter at hand was far from over, as the true main figure was still there.
However, would the Supreme Elder from the Canglan Sect dare to act against this mysterious Young Master Dongfang?
After the recent turmoil, even the innate martial artists present, though unaware of the identity of this Young Master Dongfang, could make a judgment. In terms of distinguished status, Young Master Dongfang likely surpassed even the Third Prince of the Royal Family.
Innate Sixth Realm martial artists claiming to be old servants, and Myriad Phenomena Realm protectors, even a prince might not receive such treatment.
With all eyes on him, Yin Wushuang finally turned his gaze toward Dongfang Canglang and said indifferently, “Do you bully Lin Chen because you think his background isn’t strong enough? Now I bully you because your strength isn’t strong enough.”
One punch!
Yin Wushuang struck again, launching a punch, its ice-blue force roaring like a dragon.
As Yin Wushuang struck, Xu Shuzhi’s face changed dramatically, immediately concentrating all of his True Essence in front of him into a dark light shield, while urgently warning Dongfang Canglang behind him, “Young Master, retreat quickly!”
Bang!
The ice-blue force collided fiercely with the dark light shield, erupting with a deafening roar. The violent energy shock wave scattered wildly, causing the surrounding space to distort.
Xu Shuzhi felt sweetness in his throat, forcibly swallowing a mouthful of blood in reverse, his body uncontrollably retreating several steps, each step leaving deep cracks in the hard ground.
His complexion instantly turned pale, and his breath showed clear signs of disorder and fluctuation.
Though Dongfang Canglang had retreated, he was similarly struck by the violent energy, causing his hair crown to fall. His long hair became tangled like a twisted rope, his clothes were torn in several places, leaving him in a sorry state, devoid of his former nobility.
“Brother Yin, are you really going to commit a taboo?”
Xu Shuzhi shouted angrily, now certain that he simply couldn’t stop Yin Wushuang.
“I’ve told you, you bully Lin Chen because his background isn’t strong enough. Now I bully you because your strength isn’t strong enough. The logic that those who kill will be killed—don’t you understand this?”
Yin Wushuang’s expression remained unchanged, with profound Canglan energy flickering between his brows.
Seeing this, Xu Shuzhi felt chills throughout his body. The sect’s ultimate skill, Canglan’s Eyes, utilized by Yin Wushuang, was something he definitely couldn’t withstand.
This truly is a madman heedless of consequences.
“Rest assured, I won’t take his life,”
Xu Shuzhi hearing this didn’t feel relieved, for he now knew what Yin Wushuang intended to do.
“As Lin Chen was hurt, so will I hurt you.”
Yin Wushuang looked at Dongfang Canglang, releasing a beam of light from his brow.
This time, Xu Shuzhi hesitated but did not attempt to stop him; he couldn’t stop Yin Wushuang, leaving it to the Young Master himself.
Dongfang Canglang, seeing the brilliance of the extraordinary ice-blue light, showed no hesitation, manifesting a long sword in hand. Just as Lin Chen had previously struck the long saber, he too chose to confront it head-on.
Dodging—it couldn’t be dodged!
However, his sword shattered in an instant against the ice-blue light, unable to last even a single breath.
Swish!
The ice-blue light directly penetrated his chest, with blood spraying out instantly, leaving him looking dispirited. His appearance was even more wretched than Lin Chen’s.
“Young Master, take this pill!”
Xu Shuzhi immediately grasped Dongfang Canglang’s arm, administering a pill to him, not waiting for Dongfang Canglang to absorb its power, he rushed to support him as they left.
“Farewell!”
