"A Rip-Tooth Beast? You two really went to a lot of trouble, even managing to get this kind of demonic beast." Lin Yun chuckled lightly.
A Rip-Tooth Beast was certainly a threat, but at this moment, there was no panic on his face. On the contrary, it was Zhao Yulong's expression that changed. Even they had only learned of this beast's origin after making inquiries. He never thought Lin Yun could identify it with just a single glance.
This kid... he really should have died long ago.
The moment the Rip-Tooth Beast appeared, its cold eyes locked onto Lin Yun. Its body tensed, already prepared to pounce on its prey.
Gu Xiande had already arranged for people to be here, but just in case, Lin Yun had also personally invited Deng Pengzu to come. With his current "Son of Misfortune" destiny, it was highly likely that the people Gu Xiande arranged were all close to Xiao Pingtian. Would those guys care if Lin Yun lived or died? The answer was, of course, no.
And so, this led to what happened next. The reason Lin Yun had asked Deng Pengzu to come was precisely to blow this matter up. And the facts were just as Lin Yun had guessed.
At this very moment, Xiao Pingtian was hiding near the mountain gate.
"Senior Brother, the enemy has made their move."
Because of their angle, Xiao Pingtian and the others could only see the backs of the two Zhao brothers.
Xiao Pingtian, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened them. "No rush. Let this kid suffer a bit," he said faintly. He had disliked Lin Yun for a while now. Having caught this opportunity, he certainly wasn't going to let the kid off easy.
Although the other disciples were anxious, since even Xiao Pingtian had said so, what could they do?
On the other side, seeing that no reinforcements had appeared even after the Rip-Tooth Beast showed up, Lin Yun knew his guess was correct. Of course, he wasn't going to let Deng Pengzu make a move just like that.
"You two, betraying your master and sect. You actually colluded with outsiders to attack a fellow disciple."
Hearing Lin Yun's obviously flustered reply, Zhao Yuhu was the first to laugh smugly. "What, weren't you so impressive before? The top winner of the Inner Sect Grand Competition, huh? I thought your eyes were about to fly to the heavens. Why are you so scared now?"
Zhao Yulong also said, "The feud between us cannot be resolved with just a few words. What's more, you've now been driven to guard the mountain gate. So what if we kill you? Today's events will only be treated as an exception."
The two of them laughed smugly. They had thought that at the critical moment, Lin Yun would let go of his pride and kneel to beg for mercy. But they hadn't expected that even at this moment, Lin Yun remained calm.
"I had no intention of being merciless, but since it has come to this, I can only send you two on your way first," Lin Yun said, then immediately shouted, "Elders, Senior Brothers, the traitors have been revealed! Please act quickly!"
His voice was very loud. If anyone were nearby, they would surely hear. But after Lin Yun shouted, there was no response at all.
Lin Yun sneered inwardly.
The two Zhao brothers had been startled at first. Damn it. If Lin Yun calls for reinforcements, what can the two of us do? But after Lin Yun's shout went unanswered, the two of them started laughing.
"Haha, you're at death's door, and you still think someone will come to a place like this to save you? Lin Yun, you've offended too many people. Even if someone were passing by right now, they wouldn't spare you a second glance. But if you kneel down and kowtow in apology, perhaps I can give you a quicker death."
As Zhao Yulong spoke, drool dripped from the Rip-Tooth Beast's mouth. A foul stench washed over them.
Lin Yun's expression darkened. "In that case, bring it on. A man can be killed, but not humiliated."
Zhao Yuhu snorted. "You're seeking your own death! Go, knock this guy down for me first."
With Zhao Yuhu's command, the Rip-Tooth Beast leaped high and pounced toward Lin Yun. They weren't planning to kill him directly but wanted to toy with and torture him for a while before finishing him off.
The moment the Rip-Tooth Beast jumped down, Lin Yun dodged aside. But the beast's movements were faster, and its thick tail slammed directly into Lin Yun's stomach. To an outsider, it looked like a heavy blow. But only Lin Yun knew that the beast's tail hadn't even touched him.
"Pfft!" Lin Yun circulated his yuan energy and forced out a mouthful of blood. The blood mist sprayed for several meters, a truly tragic scene.
The Rip-Tooth Beast continuously attacked Lin Yun, completely suppressing him. Seeing this, Zhao Yuhu said with great satisfaction, "As expected of the Beast..."
Zhao Yulong hurriedly stopped his clueless younger brother. "You brat, stop spouting nonsense. Be careful, the walls have ears." He was also very satisfied with the beast's performance. Seeing Lin Yun lying on the ground, barely breathing, his injuries should be quite severe.
Just then, the Rip-Tooth Beast pinned Lin Yun's chest with its hoof. Zhao Yulong swaggered forward smugly and squatted down beside Lin Yun.
"Lin Yun, you didn't expect this, did you? That you would die like this. It's not too late to beg for mercy now. If I'm in a good mood, I might even spare your life." Zhao Yulong desperately wanted Lin Yun to beg him. It had almost become a sickness for him. He had never met such a hard-headed person.
Hearing what Zhao Yulong said, Lin Yun just froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Zhao Yulong, things have come to this, and you still want me to beg you? Dream on. You should be the one begging me," Lin Yun said in a low voice.
Zhao Yulong frowned. "You don't know what's good for you. With just one command from me now, this Rip-Tooth Beast can crush your chest."
"Is that so? Why don't you give it a try," Lin Yun said with a smile, still lying on the ground.
Zhao Yulong's expression changed. For some reason, he had a bad premonition.
The next moment, the Rip-Tooth Beast stomped down.
BAM!
The sound rang out, but Lin Yun was completely unharmed. The Rip-Tooth Beast's attack hadn't caused him any damage at all.
Zhao Yulong's face was grim. How could this be? Then how was Lin Yun injured just now? He hadn't expected Lin Yun's physique to be so formidable. Now he was frozen in place, not knowing what to do.
Lin Yun then said, "Thank you so much, you two, for wanting to kill me. Otherwise, I really couldn't have thought of any other way to attract the sect's attention."
At this point, the intelligent Zhao Yulong had already realized that Lin Yun was intentionally scheming against them.
Seeing that the Rip-Tooth Beast had failed to kill Lin Yun, Zhao Yuhu also drew his sword and walked over. "Cousin, what are you wasting words with him for? The longer we wait, the more things can go wrong. Kill him."
The two of them were about to make a move. But at this critical moment, a sword came flying over.
Deng Pengzu roared, "Who is so bold as to cause trouble in my Flowing Cloud Sect?"
As his voice fell, a wave of sword qi shot out with unstoppable force. Before the Rip-Tooth Beast could even defend itself, it was sliced in half. Blood splattered, drenching the two Zhao brothers.
And looking at the appearing Deng Pengzu, their hearts also grew tense...
