Chapter 289: A Proud Heart
The melee began. The Crown Prince and the four others attacked Lin Yun simultaneously. Faced with their siege and with no room to evade, Lin Yun, wielding the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, gave up on dodging entirely.
Their five attacks descended with vicious speed. Lin Yun set his sights on the Third Prince as his first target. Instantly unleashing Thunderfire Bombardment, his body was engulfed in flame and lightning as he charged ferociously toward the prince.
Seeing Lin Yun forgo defense to launch a counterattack, the five assailants were taken aback. Though they were all geniuses of the Primordial Ocean Realm, they didn’t dare underestimate him in the slightest.
"Third Brother, be careful!" the Crown Prince shouted.
Hearing the warning, the Third Prince, now facing Lin Yun’s attack, wore a savage expression. He was at the First Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm; there was no reason for him to fear someone at the mere Eighth Layer of the Qi Sea Realm.
"Heaven and Earth!" the Third Prince roared, thrusting out his palm. A giant hand of golden Elemental Power instantly formed and came crashing down on Lin Yun.
Lin Yun had no intention of backing down from the Third Prince’s attack. He met it head-on with Thunderfire Bombardment. Their attacks collided violently. The Heaven and Earth skill used by the Third Prince was a Martial Skill of the Royal Family, classified as Earth Level, Lower Tier.
As the two Martial Skills clashed, Lin Yun’s Thunderfire Bombardment proved slightly superior. After shattering the Third Prince’s attack, Lin Yun didn’t pause. With a flick of his spear, he executed Wind Thunder Triple Flash, stabbing swiftly toward the Third Prince’s heart.
Lin Yun was so fast he was in front of the Third Prince in the blink of an eye. Reacting on instinct, the prince twisted away from the fatal blow. The spear tip failed to pierce his heart, merely slicing open his shoulder.
As his attack was evaded, the other four arrived. Jin Ruhua slammed a punch squarely into Lin Yun’s back. Taking the full force of the blow, Lin Yun staggered forward a few steps, a trickle of blood escaping his lips.
