Chapter 255: Siege
Unable to dodge the attack, Lin Yun’s chest was instantly stained red with blood as a searing pain shot through him.
’So fast.’ The man’s movements had been too quick. Even with Inch Step, Lin Yun had been unable to evade the attack. And his Inch Step was no ordinary technique; it was an Earth Level Upper Tier Body Technique Martial Skill, and he had already grasped its True Intent.
His expression turned grim. The Ghost-faced Masked Men were no strangers to the Martial Artists of the Southeast Domain. They had once massacred civilians throughout the region. However, Lin Yun had been at Celestial Net Peak during that time, so he only knew of them by reputation and had no firsthand knowledge.
"Heh heh, the fact that you survived my strike is something to be proud of, even in death." Unfazed that his first strike hadn’t killed Lin Yun, the man chuckled sinisterly.
The four Ghost-faced Masked Men had Lin Yun and his companions completely surrounded. Though he didn’t know why they wanted to kill him, he knew a bitter fight was now unavoidable.
Facing four Primordial Ocean Realm experts, Lin Yun knew he was no match for them. Escape was impossible for now. ’I’ll have to fight and look for a chance to get away.’
With the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in hand, the Elemental Power fluctuations of the Sixth Level of Qi Sea Realm surged from Lin Yun. Sensing this, one of the four Ghost-faced Masked Men spoke.
"Sixth Level of Qi Sea Realm. To think you’ve broken through three Small Realms in just eight short months."
The speaker was a woman, and from her voice, Lin Yun could tell she knew about his past. In other words, he had met her before.
"Who are you?" His suspicion deepened. ’This is definitely a premeditated assassination plot,’ Lin Yun concluded.
No one answered Lin Yun’s question as the four Ghost-faced Masked Men charged. Lin Yun and Little Ape each took on one, while the Black-striped Tiger engaged two of them alone.
The Black-striped Tiger was already a Tier Three Demon Beast, and after consuming so much Demon Beast Essence Blood, its current Combat Power should be on par with an ordinary expert at the Fourth Level of Primordial Ocean Realm.
