Chapter 727 Gifts from the Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon
"This—"
"Someone blocked it?"
"Who could be so reckless?"
Upon seeing this scene, many powerful individuals expressed their shock.
Who would dare to block the attacks of the Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon?
Were they not afraid of these two mighty Super Warriors?
Even if they were not afraid of the Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon, wouldn't they be scared of the strong and influential Lin Yun, and the terrifyingly powerful Grand Super Golden Beast?
"Lin Yun!"
"It's Lin Yun who blocked the attacks of the Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon!"
"How could it be him?"
"Isn't he, along with that Super Golden Beast, busy dealing with Venerable Lingyuan? Why is he helping him now?"
Quickly, everyone realized who had just blocked the attack, expressing their surprise once more.
"Lin Yun's power... is it really so great? The Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon are not ordinary warriors, but Lin Yun can actually withstand the combined assault of these two?"
"Is he really only at the peak realm of the twelfth level? Terrifying!"
"Could it be because of the enhancement from the Bloodthirsty Sword?"
"No! The enhancement from the Bloodthirsty Sword isn't that terrifying! The strength that Lin Yun displayed just now is at least comparable to a warrior in the second ranking of the Super Realm!"
Some people also expressed their shock.
Compared to the reason why Lin Yun helped Venerable Lingyuan block the attack from the Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon, they were more amazed that Lin Yun could withstand their combined assault.
"Who is it?"
"Who dares to block our attack? Do they have a death wish?"
On the other side, the Eastern Emperor and Nine Lines Dragon were also instantly enraged upon seeing someone block their attack.
But the next moment, when they saw that the person who had launched the attack was Lin Yun, they were immediately panicked.
"Master Lin, we apologize. We didn't mean to offend you..."
"Master Lin, why did you block our attack? This is a misunderstanding..."
The Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon hastily explained.
Elsewhere, Venerable Lingyuan was also taken aback. He hadn't expected that he wouldn't perish, let alone that it would be Lin Yun who would block the attack for him.
"Thank you, Master Lin, for stepping in to save me. Furthermore, Master Lin, previously, I truly did not mean to provoke you. I did not know you were here at the time. If I had known, I would not have dared to attack you. I was wrong, I should not have attacked you and others unprovoked..."
The next moment, Venerable Lingyuan rushed to bow to Lin Yun, his face filled with fear.
By the end, Venerable Lingyuan's voice broke slightly. The feeling of facing despair and then suddenly seeing hope was exactly his current mood, something the average person could not understand.
"Roar—"
Little Gold flashed to Lin Yun's side, let out a slight roar, then turned around. It looked towards the Eastern Emperor, the Nine Lines Dragon, and finally settled its gaze on Venerable Lingyuan. A faint killing intent flashed through its large eyes, however, it did not act.
It had seen Lin Yun's actions earlier, and felt a bit confused.
In its view, this person had attacked them for no reason and deserved to die.
Why would Lin Yun save this man?
It did not understand.
However, not understanding did not prevent it from following Lin Yun's intent.
"I said earlier that we would handle this man who attacked us unprovoked, there's no need for your help. Didn't you hear?"
Lin Yun gave the Eastern Emperor and Nine Lines Dragon a cold look, his voice chilly.
"I..."
"We..."
The Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon's faces flushed red.
They were, after all, notable Super Warriors in the universe.
Being publicly reprimanded like this, especially by a young man, made them feel extremely embarrassed and humiliated.
"Previously, the Bloodthirsty Demon Nanweng killed a large number of ordinary people. We were furious about it, hence, we might have been inconsiderate when we later met Master Lin. Afterward, we were extremely scared, hoping that Master Lin would understand.
Just now, when we saw that the Master Lin's friend, the Golden Beast, had a conflict with Venerable Lingyuan, and Lingyuan had committed such heinous crimes, we couldn't help but attack..."
The Eastern Emperor took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, that's indeed the case. We've always wanted to apologize to Master Lin." The Nine Lines Dragon transformed into a man dressed in black and nodded, also speaking in a low voice.
The dragon race is proud, and the Nine Lines Dragon is the most arrogant among them. But at this moment, it lowered its head.
Indeed, it had cultivated arduously up to this point, and it didn't want to lose everything it had now.
"Really?"
Lin Yun spoke indifferently.
He wasn't a fool. How could he not know what the Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon were really thinking when they were targeting him before?
If they were truly selfless, he wouldn't bear any grudges against them.
Unfortunately, they weren't.
Back then, he had sensed the aura of the Eastern Emperor and the Nine Lines Dragon. Presumably, neither they nor the Cold and Proud War God had ever imagined that he would have such a big background, so they had not been cautious, right?
"Absolutely, this is my gift. Please accept it, Master Lin, as compensation for my prior offense." said the Eastern Emperor, nodding.
As he spoke, he moved his fingers and handed over a spatial item.
Lin Yun looked at the item, and his mental strength probed into it.
Inside the spatial item, there was a small mountain glowing with a purple light.
This small mountain was entirely made up of godly hearthearts, the quality of which increased towards its center. At the very core, the hearthearts reached the peak of the twelfth level, and they were quite large, enough to raise the mental strength of two or three people to the twelfth level peak.
Lin Yun was slightly taken aback.
There was no denying that it was a grand gift.
Leaving aside that Xia Qingqing could use these godly hearthearts to send her mental strength to the twelfth-level peak.
His martial arts realm had already reached the twelfth-level peak, but his mental strength was far from that, which greatly reduced his strength.
If his mental strength also reached the twelfth-level peak, his strength would definitely improve even further.
"Eastern Emperor, you're too kind. I'll regard the previous incident as settled…" Lin Yun lifted his head to look at the Eastern Emperor, and gave a slight nod.
Taking advantage of someone's favor after having accepted their gift didn't seem fitting to keep dwelling on the matter. Moreover, they didn't lose anything last time, they were just scared a bit.
As a matter of fact, when he, Little Gold, Little White, and Little Blue later killed Nanweng, they also took advantage of the enemy's severe injuries caused by these three. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to kill Nanweng so easily. Looking at it from this perspective, they appeared to have gotten the better end of the deal.
"Uh... this is my gift. Please accept it, Master Lin." Seeing this scene, the Nine Lines Dragon was caught off guard. The Eastern Emperor hadn't told him about this, and he hadn't expected the Eastern Emperor to do so. But after thinking for a bit, he clenched his teeth and spoke in a low voice.
As he spoke, he too handed over a spatial item.
"Huh?"
Lin Yun turned his head and looked at the spatial item handed over by the Nine Lines Dragon, simultaneously scanning it with his mental strength.
"This is—"
However, the next moment, Lin Yun expressed his shock.
