Chapter 477: Chapter 467 Yin Yang Soul Chase
The Spider Woman’s plan was perfect, she swiftly closed in on Lin Yun and wrapped him in spider silk, then took him as a hostage.
Those women just now cared so much about the news of Lin Yun, obviously having a significant relationship with him, so capturing him might give her a chance of survival. Unable to rely on divine intervention, she had to rely on herself.
Admittedly, Spider Woman had quite the mind; even Lin Yun was caught off guard by her method, but she underestimated Lin Yun’s physical strength.
In terms of mystic arts, Lin Yun was several streets behind the Enlightened Realm’s experts from the Central Plains, but in terms of strength, given his current power, he should have been able to fight on par with the number one warrior of the Grassland.
The reason he was restrained in the Central Plains was precisely that the Central Plains Cultivators were too slippery, each having escape techniques that Lin Yun couldn’t catch up with, and they could attack from a distance, which Lin Yun also found somewhat difficult to defend against.
But if someone wanted to engage in close-quarters combat with him...
Would there be such a good thing?
When Spider Woman lunged into Lin Yun’s arms, her hands shot out spider silk to wrap Lin Yun’s hands, just about to start wrapping him, she saw Lin Yun grip the silk tightly, and the next second, he grabbed her hands and, with a snap, quickly executed a shoulder throw, slamming Spider Woman to the ground haphazardly.
Lin Yun didn’t let go of this opportunity that fell into his lap; he picked up Spider Woman, slamming her to the left, smashing her to the right, beating her until the spider in her was not doing well. While still conscious, she again used her divine skill to ghostify.
This was also a feature of the Yin Yang Soul Chaser Spider; she could freely transform between Yin and Yang states.
Seeing Spider Woman’s body dematerialize and emit a bit of Yin Qi, Lin Yun thought that since she was immune to physical attacks, it was time to use a spell.
Lin Yun conjured a fireball in his hand, and Spider Woman immediately felt a threat of death.
What the hell kind of person is this? He clearly didn’t have the cultivation level of the Upper Realm, yet he was always able to keep her pinned to the ground.
Spider Woman reacted quickly. As soon as Lin Yun’s fireball appeared, she materialized, but she was still burned, her already frail gauzy clothes instantly reduced to ashes, revealing a large halo of sacred light.
Ah, whose light is that? It’s so blinding.
Lin Yun looked up, just in time to see Lin Yu, Fang Yu, and Dongfang Hongyue. Relief swept over him; his allies had all arrived.
The light just now was Fang Yu’s doing. Since it was too dark when they came in, Fang Yu lit the area with thunder, and as they fell in, they saw Lin Yun with a naked woman.
"Demoness, meet your end!"
Dongfang Hongyue’s heart finally settled when she saw Lin Yun, but her ire rose anew upon seeing the shameless, scantily-clad woman before him.
Good one, Lin Yun, now you don’t even let the spiders go!
This one hasn’t even completely transformed; can you even bring yourself to do it?
Although reason told Dongfang Hongyue that nothing could have happened between Lin Yun and the spider in such a short time, Lin Yun had still seen another’s body.
Spider Woman felt wronged inside.
It was her who was seen naked, yet these women were so fierce!
The killing intent was even stronger than before; fire, sword light, thunder, all focused unrelentingly on her.
This time, Spider Woman didn’t know whether to ghostify or materialize. If she was solid, she’d be cut by the sword; if ghostified, she’d be struck by lightning and fire. Who could withstand that?
"Mercy, immortal maiden!"
In a moment of crisis, Spider Woman raised her hands in classic surrender.
In the past millennia, a top-level powerhouse who didn’t care about face and chose to surrender would generally not be killed by the enemy. Usually, at her level, one would have many means to escape death; if she hadn’t intended to lure people to the Divine Temple to sacrifice them to the Thousand Hands and Eye Great God, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.
If she wanted to run, she would have run long ago, and in this place, escaping wouldn’t be easy; her escape techniques couldn’t get her away from this statue, and with just her two legs, she couldn’t escape the blockade of three Cultivators of the same realm, not to mention, Lin Yun had just thrown her around so badly she was already done for.
If she really couldn’t hold on, she would surrender, to live and not lose face.
However, times had changed.
An Upper Realm Cultivator surrendering and spared from death?
There was no such rule.
The rule generally believed in this era was "if the roots are not removed during weed clearance, the spring breeze will bring them back to life."
Moreover, from Lin Yu’s perspective, Spider Woman was full of sin and worthy of death.
Dongfang Hongyue was annoyed by her shamelessness, Fang Yu was angry at her for deceiving them earlier, and when they struck, they didn’t hold back; thunderbolt, sword qi, Fire Lotus, all hit her. Spider Woman vomited a mouthful of blood, and a dark aura began to rise from her body.
However, this dark aura was only visible to Lin Yun.
It seems this was true negative emotion after all.
Spider Woman’s eyes were full of resentment, knocked to the ground and unable to rise, she still looked at them with eyes full of hatred and unwillingness, angrily saying, "We have no deep-seated hatred; why must you force me to my death!"
"Your hands are covered in sin," Lin Yu declared, his sword pointing towards Spider Woman, sweeping out a gale with a whoosh. Spider Woman saw Lin Yu’s resolved murderous intent; there was no escaping this sword. She looked to Lin Yun at her side.
"If you want to kill me, then I will take the person you care about!"
Seeing Spider Woman’s malicious gaze, Lin Yu felt a jolt of anxiety. She saw a blend of black and white energy fly out of Spider Woman, heading straight for Lin Yun. Lin Yun, while evading with the Cheating Heaven Step Technique, raised the Fire Domain.
As Lin Yun used the Cheating Heaven Step Technique, the black and white Qi started spinning around haphazardly, unable to get close to him. The Spider Woman was dumbfounded. Lin Yun could actually dodge the Yin Yang Soul Chase poison? What kind of step technique was this?
However, Lin Yun’s use of the Cheating Heaven Step Technique had its limits. He was only a beginner with this technique, and after dodging the Qi for a bit, he was quickly locked onto again. The black and white Qi easily penetrated his Fire Domain and landed on him.
Seeing the Spider Woman make a move on Lin Yun, Lin Yu was shocked and halted her fatal blow that was ready to strike.
"What have you done to him!"
"Have you ever heard of the Yin Yang Soul Chaser Spider? Yin Yang Soul Chase, incurable by any medicine."
The Spider Woman sneered venomously, looking at Lin Yu with a sense of revengeful satisfaction.
"You care about him a lot, don’t you? Don’t worry, he won’t die right away. Instead, he will endure seven days and nights of pain, and in the end, blood will flow from all seven orifices, and even his soul will dissipate."
As the Spider Woman uttered these words, the onlookers who had been watching from the sidelines finally descended. Hearing that Lin Yun was about to die, Zhang Biyu couldn’t help feeling a bit of regret for such a handsome young man.
The others, on the other hand, were quite pleased. Him dying was good news!
Yue Ningshuang and the others were already preparing to seize the treasure, but they did not intervene at this moment.
The relationship between Lin Yun and Lin Yu was no secret in the Cultivation World. The things Lin Yun had done at Sword Sect had spread far and wide throughout the Central Plains Cultivation World.
Now it was better not to rile up Lin Yu.
"Detoxify him, and I will spare your life."
Lin Yu was willing to compromise, but this time, the Spider Woman was relentless.
"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? I don’t need your mercy. Once the Yin Yang Soul Chase is activated, there’s no room for regret. The people I kill with my life can’t possibly be saved by you."
After saying these words, the Spider Woman also expired.
Only then did they understand why the Spider Woman hadn’t used such a deadly move earlier. This method cost the Spider Woman her life.
A life for a life. Such extreme spells are often vicious, brutal, and beyond redemption.
As the Spider Woman gasped her last breath, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Yun.
Red spots began appearing on his hands, which soon enlarged and turned into eyes.
Under the cover of his clothes, these densely packed eyes grew all the way up to Lin Yun’s chest before stopping their spread.
It seemed as if they sensed some terrifying presence and the poison dared not advance further.
The Yin Yang Soul Chase was not just poison, but also contained a mysterious force, similar to what Lin Yun had once felt from Yuxuan.
It was this kind of force that had robbed Yuxuan of her life.
Good heavens, could it be that the divine wrath is finally upon me?
Looking at the eyes on his hand, Lin Yun couldn’t help but think of the Thousand Hands and Eyes the Spider Woman had prayed to. He had just blown up its eyes, and now it was planting eyes on him?
"Yun’er."
Lin Yu came over anxiously and grabbed Lin Yun’s hand, no longer caring about the onlookers’ opinions.
"Don’t be sad, there will be a way."
Lin Yun smiled and comforted Lin Yu.
It was just some eyes appearing on his body, not even real. No big deal.
Lin Yun also signaled to Dongfang Hongyue with his eyes. Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t help but purse her lips, even now she couldn’t openly stand with Lin Yun.
However, this also let her feel Lin Yun’s confidence.
Lin Yun was confident that he wouldn’t be in trouble, which is why he wanted her to stay hidden and avoid the combined onslaught of the Yin Qi Righteous Path and the Demonic Path.
Before the overall situation had stabilized, if people learned that Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue were in cahoots, the others, driven by a sense of crisis, would surely join forces against them.
The alliance of the Demon Sect would also collapse instantly, which would be unfavorable for future developments.
In truth, Lin Yun wasn’t that confident. He was just considering future eventualities. If he really did pass away, at least he wouldn’t cause trouble for Dongfang Hongyue.
Of course, he felt that the chances he wouldn’t "cool off" were quite high.
"An Elder of the Shenxiao Sect, so intimately involved with a spy of the Demon Race, are you in league with each other?"
Ji Ye, who had heard Zhang Biyu’s confession of liking Lin Yun and was already fuming, now seized the opportunity to attack. Yue Ningshuang silently gave him a thumbs up, thinking that he was courageous and worthy of admiration.
Lin Yu cast a cold look at Ji Ye, and if he hadn’t been just an ignorant offender, her sword would have shown him no mercy.
Ji Ye took a step back under Lin Yu’s fierce gaze, then feeling humiliated, he forced himself to stand tall and said, "What did I say that was wrong? Or do you intend to use violence against us, to shut our mouths? Can you silence the voices of the world? The Shenxiao Sect has always upheld the Righteous Path, Fang Yu, and now under your watch, you collude with the Demon Race. When you face the ancestors of the Shenxiao Sect in the hereafter, how will you stand before them?"
