"Roar——"

Little Gold paused, turned its head to look at Lin Yun, a trace of joy flickering deep within its massive eyes.

Lin Yun had finally awoken.

Seeing Little Gold in such a desperate and beaten state, yet still showing such a reaction, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel a pang of distress. He had sensed what had just happened. However, he was in the midst of a breakthrough, relying on the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword. If he gave up, he could be seriously injured by a rebound from the sword's energy.

Furthermore, he thought that at this moment, if he could increase his strength a bit, things might go better.

So, he didn't immediately stop his meditation.

Now, seeing Little Gold's condition, a wave of anger welled up in Lin Yun, stirring in the midst of his distress.

Little Gold had ended up in such a state to protect him.

"I heard that thousands of years ago, the saints and powerful individuals of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were kind-hearted, generous and selfless. They radiated wisdom, treating everyone equally, earning the respect of all beings from the Ten Thousand Race. Now... now a mighty messenger from the Holy Land treats a Star Beast cub like this, and even insults it.

Don't you feel ashamed?" Lin Yun lifted his head, looking at the young man not far off, a cold gleam in his eyes, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Hmph! Letting a junior like you discuss the affairs of the Immortal Origin Holy Land?" The youth flicked a dismissive glance at Lin Yun, a cold gleam in his eyes and a sneer on his lips.

"Boom——"

In the blink of an eye, the young man raised a hand toward Lin Yun.

"Just because I didn't deal with you just now you think of yourself as important? To dare lecture me? By using the Bloodthirsty Sword to enhance your strength, your actions are those of a demon, and everyone has the right to kill you!" The young man said coldly.

"Fine! Let me see the power of a Holy Land messenger like you!" Lin Yun bellowed.

Earlier, he had been disgusted by the young man's insults toward Xia Qingqing.

"Boom——"

As he spoke, Lin Yun made his move. With a swing of the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand, he released a staggering aura that quickly fused with him. Then, he unleashed a powerful force toward the young man.

The Bloodthirsty Sword, having been upgraded by Nanweng, possessed a higher rank than Lin Yun himself. Its strength and the enhanced power it could offer were enormous.

"Rumble——"

The two attacks clashed, and both fighters were thrown backward.

"What?" the young man uttered, taken aback.

This junior's power actually surpassed that of an average Super Warrior?

He knew that anyone possessing the Bloodthirsty Sword would have enhanced strength.

But this youth was a mere twelfth-level peak warrior. No matter how strong he was, how much stronger could he possibly be?

That's why he had just treated him as an average Super Warrior.

To his surprise, he had found himself at a slight disadvantage.

If he had not promptly used more of his strength, he might have suffered a greater loss.

Although he had only suffered a small loss, and it was clear that the youth had not gotten off scot-free, he still looked unhappy.

In his eyes, he—an esteemed messenger from the Holy Land, a second-tier Super Warrior with the strength of a third-tier warrior—had had a bit of trouble dealing with a mere twelfth-level peak warrior. That was a disgrace!

"You're good, kid! I underestimated you!" The young man gritted his teeth, his voice ice-cold.

"Then take another blow!" Then he quickly lashed out again.

Boom!

In the middle of his speech, he dashed toward Lin Yun and attacked again.

He intended to quickly defeat Lin Yun in order to salvage his lost face.

Now that Lin Yun's strength was clear to him, he believed he could disarm him quickly.

"Little Gold, let's attack together!"

On the other side, Lin Yun called out, preparing to cooperatively attack with Little Gold.

From the clash just now, he understood that the young man would not underestimate him anymore. Now that the young man was aware of his strength, he wouldn't hold back his power.

To challenge the young man, he needed to unite his strength with Little Gold's.

"Roar——"

Lil Gold let out an excited roar and immediately charged toward Lin Yun.

Because the distance was so short, in an instant, Lin Yun and Little Gold united.

"Boom——"

At the same time, they both exuded an enormous Domain Power, which quickly fused together and advanced toward the young man.

"Rumble——"

The two forces clashed again, the young man found himself retreating once more.

Of course, Lin Yun and Little Gold were knocked back even farther and sustained more injuries.

But when they confronted the Holy Land's messenger, they were no longer entirely defenseless.

"That kid with the Bloodthirsty Sword has such powerful strength?"

"That Holy Land messenger probably has third-tier strength. That kid wielding the Bloodthirsty Sword and the Super Golden Beast cub don't seem much weaker."

"Such a powerful Bloodthirsty Sword!"

"No, it's not just because of the Bloodthirsty Sword! That kid isn't simple! Did you see the man holding the Bloodthirsty Sword, Nanweng, who has just barely advanced to the Half Step Super Realm? Isn't he weaker than the average Super Warrior? This kid has just broken through to the twelfth level peak, but his strength seems to surpass an average Super Warrior.

Even compared to a second-tier Super Warrior, he is very close..."

In the distance, the six ordinary Super Warriors saw everything, drew in a breath, and spoke all at once.

They even felt a bit scared.

If the Black Dragon King, the Lord of All, and this Holy Land messenger, three powerful Super Warriors hadn't come.

It was very likely they would have already attacked this group.

With their underestimation of their opponents, they could have made a big mistake.

Even if one or two of the Super Warriors perished, it wouldn't be impossible.

And they... nobody wanted to die.

"Boom——Boom——Boom——"

In the starry sky, the fight between the Holy Land messenger and Lin Yun, together with Little Gold, continued. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a dozen moves.

Even though Lin Yun and Little Gold kept getting injured, they managed to block every blow.

And the attacker, because he was impatient to end things, had attacked too frequently and suffered a minor loss.

From the current situation, he didn't know how many more moves or how much more time he would need to defeat them.

By that time, how much more loss would he have suffered?

That made him feel very uncomfortable.

Little Gold was often seen as a part of the twelve-level peak warrior because it was not human but a juvenile beast.

And he... he was only a little more than thirty years old.

Yet he still couldn't defeat him quickly.

Even if he finally defeated him, he would have to pay some price.

How could he feel good about this?

At this moment, he felt a little regretful.

If he had known earlier that this young man would be so hard to deal with, he would have killed him directly.

He believed that as long as he made a move, it wouldn't be difficult to kill Lin Yun, who was only at the late twelfth level and was still breaking through.

Although it might give him a reputation for ambushing others when they were weak, who would care about that when dealing with a demon wielding the Bloodthirsty Sword?

Then, with only a juvenile Super Golden Beast left, wouldn't it have been an easy prey?

Damn it!
