Chapter 438: Chapter 353: No Fighting Spirit Left

In another direction, Yun Hezi had fled the battlefield at full speed the moment the opportunity arose.

Massive surges of Gang Qi continuously burst forth from within him, propelling his body forward like a jet fighter, accelerating wildly, speeding away from the battlefield like lightning.

"Thankfully, those two are restraining each other; it seems like none of them have followed..."

Just as Yun Hezi’s mind began to relax, the tremendous boom that followed Lin Xing’s disappearance resonated through the air, reaching his eardrums.

Soon after the boom, the ground beneath his feet shook fiercely, as if some colossal creature was churning underneath the earth.

This series of anomalies made Yun Hezi, who had already distanced himself from the battlefield, abruptly turn his head back.

"Are Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi fighting each other? No..."

Feeling the direction of the vibrations, his brow furrowed slightly, "This direction... Could it be that Sky Dragon or Yunxiao is being pursued?"

Just then, another terrifying pressure swept in from a different direction, but it vanished as quickly as a phantom.

Even though it was fleeting, it was enough for Yun Hezi to confirm the source of this pressure.

Only because he had once personally fought against this opponent and faced the owner of this pressure head-on.

"Lin Xing..."

Looking in the direction from which the pressure had come, Yun Hezi thought, "Two different directions are erupting in battle simultaneously, and one of them is definitely Lin Xing; this means..."

A speculation emerged in his mind, "Could it be that Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi are each pursuing Yunxiao and Sky Dragon? Hence, battles erupting in two completely different directions at the same time?"

At this thought, a flicker of relief crossed Yun Hezi’s mind, "If so, it is indeed divine assistance to me."

"Wait for it, Lin Xing."

"It won’t be long before you realize how grave the mistake you made today is."

"Once I master the fourth inheritance..."

As Yun Hezi pondered these thoughts, he turned to speed away, but suddenly found a tall figure had appeared behind him without his noticing.

"Lin... Lin Xing?"

Seeing the tall figure before him, Yun Hezi was slightly startled.

Then, noticing the two heads floating next to Lin Xing, his heart sank.

Currently floating on either side of Lin Xing were none other than the heads of Fairy Yunxiao and Sky Dragon.

The fresh heads looked vivid, clearly freshly severed.

Yun Hezi incredulously stared at Lin Xing, "He was fighting at least several miles away just a moment ago, how could he reach here so rapidly?"

"And Sky Dragon, Yunxiao... they were defeated by him?"

"How could this be... How could he have defeated these two in an instant in two different directions, and then appeared before me immediately?"

"Is it speed? Simply using utmost speed to accomplish this?"

"I don’t believe it!" Though immensely tense inside, Yun Hezi still retained some composure, "No matter how powerful Lin Xing is, no matter how formidable, he is still of the third inheritance level, he couldn’t possibly have burst forth with speed far surpassing this realm’s limits."

"It must be some kind of trick, some tactic I haven’t yet fathomed..."

As Yun Hezi frantically pondered the reasons, Lin Xing calmly said, "It’s you again, the clown of Kunlun."

A cold gaze swept over Yun Hezi, a powerful pressure enveloping him, making him feel as if he couldn’t breathe.

But what made his emotions fluctuate the most was Lin Xing’s gaze, looking at him as if viewing pigs and dogs, viewing trash, stirring deep wounds to Yun Hezi’s pride from previous humiliations he had received from his opponent.

Roar!

Surging Gang Qi erupted from the mouth located among his viscera, while the three arms grown on his forehead, chest, and Dantian clenched fiercely, releasing waves of invisible Qi.

The sudden eruption of power wasn’t merely due to the rising humiliation inside, but also because Yun Hezi very much understood that this was a critical juncture of life or death, and the only thing he could do was muster all his strength to... fight!

To fight for a way out, to fight for a future.

"Lin Xing!"

Amidst the roar, his Tao True Form Fist, honed over hundreds of years, burst forth.

So, with all his power unleashed, would Yun Hezi carve out a path for survival?"

How many moves could he withstand at this moment against Lin Xing?

The answer was zero.

When Yun Hezi snapped back to reality, he had already fallen to his knees.

"What happened?"

"I clearly remember... I just attacked Lin Xing with all my might."

"Why... why did I end up kneeling before him all of a sudden?"

Before he made his move, Yun Hezi had played out many possible scenarios in his mind.

Such as Lin Xing forcefully clashing with him and repelling him.

Or the opponent using incredibly precise power and speed to break through the weaknesses in his moves and deal him a lethal blow.

Or perhaps he dodged the attack by sidestepping, bombarding him with incredible speed from the side or even from behind.

Various deductions unfolded in his mind, and he thought about the results of these different deductions, considering how he should respond.

This was his combat instinct as an expert, often predicting the course of the battle even before making a move.

No matter how powerful Lin Xing appeared afterwards, he thought he was prepared.

But now he couldn’t understand the result.

"From the moment I made my move, my focus was entirely on Lin Xing, this guy definitely didn’t make a move."

"He didn’t make a move, didn’t unleash an ounce of power, and didn’t even change his position."

"He clearly didn’t make a move, it was me attacking him."

"But why... why did I end up kneeling before him and breaking an arm after throwing the punch?!"

Looking at the severed arm lying in front of him on the ground, a fear beyond understanding surged within Yun Hezi’s heart.

He looked up at Lin Xing, hoping to find answers in him.

But Lin Xing didn’t speak, just coldly watched him, making Yun Hezi feel as if Lin Xing was saying, "Hurry up and make your move, pig-dog, don’t waste everyone’s time."

Suppressing the rage in his heart, Yun Hezi continued trying to think through the current situation.

"No matter how strong someone is, it’s impossible to defeat me without even making a move, this defies all common sense."

"He must have made a move, but what power did he use? Why didn’t I notice at all?"

"This time I must see clearly..."

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Yun Hezi swiftly stood up, intending to create some distance between himself and Lin Xing first.

Bang! Gang Qi exploded beneath his feet, propelling him rapidly backward.

Bang! The next moment, his knees slammed harshly onto the ground.

Yun Hezi was shocked to find that he had knelt before Lin Xing once again.

At the same time, the arm on his chest broke off, turning the severed limb on the ground into two.

"What!!"

"Impossible! I definitely moved backward!"

"Why am I still kneeling on the ground!"

As Yun Hezi panicked and wondered what to do,

Lin Xing finally spoke.

"You’ve lost your fighting spirit."

"Sadly, I saw your master’s future achievements and was very interested in seeing more traces of him in you."

"But perhaps you are too useless, or perhaps he feared backlash and didn’t impart the true teachings to you."

While speaking, Lin Xing had already stepped over, standing behind Yun Hezi.

And hearing Lin Xing’s words, although Yun Hezi did not quite understand some of it, a peculiar feeling emerged in his heart: "Why does Lin Xing now seem so calm to me?"

"Why can’t I feel any emotional fluctuations in his words?"

In Yun Hezi’s mind, someone who had undergone fierce battles from otherworld should have become extremely crazed in the process, pushing their powers to the limits, their emotions extremely intense.

But Lin Xing showed no trace of madness; rather, he was like an unfathomably deep ocean, making Yun Hezi unable to sense any emotional leakage, shocking him once again as this further shattered his understanding of the common practices of cultivation.

"Lin Xing... he has reached a realm that I can’t fathom."

"It’s impossible to win."

"Even if I were in perfect condition, even if I returned to my peak, I could never win against him..."

After continuous defeat, and repeatedly encountering situations he could not understand, Yun Hezi, as Lin Xing had said, no longer possessed any will to fight.

So, he opened his mouth, despite the shame inside, already planning to ask Lin Xing for peace.

This was the only solution he could think of to deal with the current situation.

"At least to try, perhaps..."

But just at that moment, Yun Hezi’s eyes widened in shock.

In his field of view, a headless corpse was slowly decomposing.

He recognized it at a glance—it was his own corpse.

But why was his headless corpse appearing there...

In an instant, Yun Hezi, looking at the Sky Dragon and Yunxiao beside him, realized.

His own head was floating around Lin Xing just like theirs.

Yun Hezi opened his mouth to speak but found that with only a head remaining, he could no longer make a sound.

And he didn’t even understand how he was still alive, let alone what to do next.

Then, only a head remaining, he felt himself plunging into boundless darkness and quickly lost all consciousness.
