Chapter 335: Three More Deaths
"Lin Yun is injured?"
"Buddhist Lion's Roar!"
"From such a distance, it caused Lin Yun to cough up blood and fall to the ground. This Buddhist Lion's Roar is too strong. After all, Lin Yun's strength is comparable to Grandmasters of martial arts..."
"What do you know? The effect of a sound wave attack depends on physical fitness. Lin Yun is in trouble now, I wonder if he's dead..."
Because of the special location at the top of the mountain, most people at the bottom could see everything clearly. Many martial artists who witnessed the scene were greatly shocked.
"Lin Yun..."
"Brother Lin Yi..."
Lin Mengmeng, Zhang Haoran, and others who knew Lin Yun and didn't want anything bad to happen to him were all clenching their fists, deeply worried.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, several figures in the crowd rushed towards the top of the mountain at high speed. Each of them radiating a powerful aura.
"That's the aura of martial arts Grandmasters!"
"So many martial arts Grandmasters, what are they doing heading up the mountain?"
"That one... seems like Grandmaster Li of Shanhaiguan's Li family boxing..."
People started to identify the darting figures. Some martial artists who recognized these individuals muttered their identities.
"These are Sky Group members; are they going to help?"
"I thought they didn't want to reveal their identities. It seems they just didn't want to alarm Lin Yun's side..."
However, the stronger martial artists and some upper echelons of the martial arts conference who knew the other identities of these people furrowed their brows or squinted their eyes and whispered softly.
There were a total of five shadowy figures, five Sky Group members.
Interestingly, the number was five again. The same number of Sky Group members Lin Yun had killed last time. Actually, this was the typical team size of the Sky Group.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, just as those five Sky Group members were rushing towards the top of the mountain, another four figures also dashed towards the top. Each of them also had an exceptionally formidable aura.
"Two of those are Lin Yi... Brother Lin Yun's men. Are they going to help?"
Zhang Haoran, who was filled with anxiety, couldn't help but brighten up and comment when he saw the four figures.
"These four people are all martial arts Grandmasters too!"
At the moment, Zhang Wentian was standing with Zhang Haoran. He took a deep breath and said after witnessing the scene. He heard about the happenings of Lin Yun from Qingyun Company, but hearing about it was one thing, witnessing it was another.
An innate powerhouse and five martial arts Grandmasters were opposing them, while another innate powerhouse and four martial arts Grandmasters were defending. The scale of the forces that Lin Yun was involved with was just enormous.
Ordinary martial artists, or even common martial arts Grandmasters, simply had no room to intervene.
"They're also martial arts Grandmasters?" Hearing his father's words, Zhang Haoran was stunned.
He was familiar with the two who had been following Lin Yun after he came to the martial arts conference. They were just like bodyguards who barely spoke and seemed unimportant. These past two days, these two even slept in the room his father had initially booked.
Zhang Haoran never expected that these two were martial arts Grandmasters, with the same status as his father.
Martial arts Grandmasters... Each one could be considered a legendary figure in martial arts, receiving respect from all... and they were willing to serve in such low-profile roles...
...
"Four initial-stage Huajin? They dared to follow?"
On their way up the mountain, the five Sky Group members turned back and looked at Lin Yi to Lin Si who were following behind. They sneered coldly.
Because this was the martial arts conference, while they were looking for Lin Yun, they also had the task of monitoring the martial arts conference. They couldn't be too weak.
Hence, among the five of them, two were in the initial stage of Huajin, two were in the mid-stage, and one was in the late stage.
Plus, they had perfect synergy, leaving the four at the initial stage of Huajin, they didn't take them seriously.
"The three of us will stop them, and the two of you go up and deal with the Lin Yun!"
Very quickly, one of the Sky Group members suggested.
"Alright!"
The other four Sky Group members nodded in agreement.
They were partners who had collaborated for many years, their understanding of each other was perfect. Without wasting any time, three of them stayed back to wait for Lin Yi to Lin Si.
"You dare to challenge the young master, you're courting death!"
Seeing these three trying to stop them, a cold flash shot through Lin Yi's cold eyes, and he said coldly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as they were getting close, Lin Yi to Lin Si suddenly turned over their palms, and a gun-like weapon appeared in their hands out of nowhere, and a hail of bullets quickly fired towards the three Sky Group members.
"What?"
"Damn it!"
The moment the bullet network appeared, the three Sky Group members' faces changed dramatically and they cried out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Simultaneously, they each flung themselves to the side.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The spread of the bullet network was too broad. With Lin Yi and the others all releasing their bullet networks, the extent of their superior computational abilities did not allow for any blind spots within a certain range.
These three Sky Group members were collectively hit by the bullet network. Some were grazed by two or three bullets, others by seven or eight bullets.
These were not ordinary bullets. Even if a Martial Arts grand-master had a sturdy physique, and their formidable innate strength could block and reduce the force of the attack, a single bullet could make a puncture hole the size of a child's fist, causing a serious injury.
The moment they were hit by these bullets, some Sky Group members fell dead on the spot. The others, despite not dying immediately, were seriously wounded and didn't have time to dodge the second wave of the bullet network attack, dying soon after.
In the space of no more than two seconds, the three Sky Group members were unable to slow down Lin Yi and the others.
Thus, three Martial Arts grand-masters were lost.
What sort of individuals were Martial Arts grand-masters?
Each having prestigious reputations...
In under two seconds, three Martial Arts grand-masters had fallen!
The shock this brought to people... was immense!
Especially among audience members who, even if not martial artists themselves, were still from martial arts circles, they understood very clearly what the loss of a Martial Arts grand-master signified!
"They... they're all dead?"
"All three Martial Arts grand-masters... they're all dead?"
"Wasn't one of them still in the mid-stage of Huajin?"
A few people didn't dare to believe it.
"That bullet network... seems to be a device of Qingyun Company. These four Martial Arts grand-masters must be from Qingyun Company... Moreover, the words they spoke before, about how someone had dared to provoke their young master... this isn't how previous 'innate' powerhouses referred to Lin Yun? It seems to be the case...
They're the Martial Arts grand-masters of Qingyun Company. The other five are official Martial Arts grand-masters... Could it be that they're Sky Group members?"
Upon this, some martial artists who were previously unclear about the affiliations of the two camps immediately deduced where the allegiances lay.
The official government forces, the Sky Group, once again lost three Martial Arts grand-masters, quickly spreading this news.
Most martial artists were also clear that Lin Yi to Lin Si, along with the previous five figures who appeared were of the same camp.
"How is this possible?"
"What on earth happened?"
"Lee Wen and the others... they're dead?"
The two Sky Group members who were rushing towards Lin Yun, upon hearing the commotion behind them and looking back to see what was happening, were both shocked and incredulous.
They were Martial Arts grand-masters, with strong predictive abilities. Just now, they didn't sense any danger. How could three people have died so quickly?
"Damn it!"
"Quick, move!"
Just then, the faces of the two Martial Arts grand-masters changed and they cried out.
At the same time, they both swiftly darted to one side.
"Thump--Thump--Thump--"
As they managed to dodge, bursts of the bullet network landed where they had just been standing. It appeared that Lin Yi and the others had launched another attack at them.
Because the distance between them was not very far due to being on a mountain, the potency of the bullet network remained quite strong.
However, because of the problem with the distance, the range of the bullet network attack was not unmanageable.
Consequently, the two Sky Group members were able to evade the bullet network attack.
Still, they broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now, they felt an extreme sense of danger. Given the fate of the three Sky Group members who had just fallen, they were certain that if they hadn't dodged in time, their fate would have been the same.
The reason they hadn't felt the danger earlier and why the three Sky Group members had died was because Lin Yi and the others all had spatial items. The weapons they carried had been stored in those spatial items.
Ever since Lin Yun learned that Martial Arts grand-masters had some predictive abilities, he had been paying attention to this matter.
Some weapons, when stored in spatial items, could block some degree of predictive ability. The higher the level of the spatial item, the stronger the predictive ability it could block. In this martial arts competition, especially today, Lin Yun had a premonition that something dangerous would happen.
Additionally, with abundant Spirit Crystals, Lin Yun provided Lin Yi and the others with spatial items.
Though the spatial items couldn't block predictive abilities as strongly as the Cosmic Trading System's trading space, as long as it could block the predictive abilities of Martial Arts grand-masters, it should have a potent effect.
Sometimes, it could have miraculous results.
Now it seemed that was the case.
Three Sky Group members, three Martial Arts grand-masters, and one even in the mid-stage of Huajin, had just died so easily.
