Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2390: Forces (3)



Yun Lintian sighed inwardly, his gaze sweeping over the encircling figures. Commander Zhao stood at the forefront, a smug grin plastered across his face. Behind him were dozens of soldiers, their armor gleaming menacingly in the dim light of the battlefield.

Five figures stood out among them, their auras radiating the potent power of the God Ascension Realm.

"Leaving so soon, Alchemist?" Commander Zhao sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "We haven't had a chance to properly discuss your... cooperation."

Yun Lintian's expression remained impassive, his eyes betraying a hint of boredom. "I believe I made my position clear, Commander Zhao. I have no interest in joining your army."

Commander Zhao's grin widened, revealing a hint of cruelty. "Perhaps you didn't understand the situation, Alchemist. You are on our territory, surrounded by our forces. Defiance is futile."

He gestured towards the five God Ascension Realm cultivators flanking him. "We have five God Ascension Realm experts here, including myself. You are outnumbered and outmatched. Surrender now, and we might consider sparing your life. Refuse, and you will face the consequences."

Yun Lintian's gaze swept over the five experts, his expression unchanging. He had faced far more formidable opponents in his life, and these mere God Ascension Realm cultivators held little threat to him.

"Are you done with your monologue?" Yun Lintian asked, his voice laced with a hint of impatience. "If so, let's get this over with. I have places to be."

Commander Zhao's face flushed with anger. "Insolent brat! You dare mock me?" He roared, "Attack! Capture him alive! But if he resists, cripple him!"

The soldiers surged forward, their weapons drawn, their battle cries echoing through the desolate landscape. The five God Ascension Realm experts led the charge, their auras flaring, their attacks aimed at subduing Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian sighed, his boredom turning to a faint annoyance. He had hoped to avoid a pointless fight, but it seemed these fools were determined to force his hand.

Clang!

He drew his sword, the Heaven Piercing Sword humming with anticipation. The blade crackled with a brilliant white light, a manifestation of the lightning essence he had infused within it.

With a casual flick of his wrist, a blinding arc of lightning erupted from the sword, slicing through the charging soldiers like a hot knife through butter. Their screams echoed through the air as the lightning tore through their armor, their flesh, their very souls.

The five God Ascension Realm experts, startled by the sheer power of Yun Lintian's attack, hastily erected defensive barriers. But it was futile. The lightning arced and danced, bypassing their defenses, striking them with devastating force.

"ARGHHH!!"

They cried out in agony as the lightning coursed through their bodies, disrupting their divine energy, paralyzing their limbs. They collapsed to the ground, their bodies twitching, their eyes wide with fear and disbelief.

Commander Zhao, witnessing the swift and brutal demise of his elite forces, felt a chill run down his spine. He had underestimated this young alchemist, mistaking his calm demeanor for weakness. He realized, too late, that he had stumbled upon a power far beyond his comprehension.

Fear gripped his heart, replacing his arrogance with a desperate desire to survive. He turned to flee, his dreams of capturing and exploiting Yun Lintian shattered like a fragile mirror.

But Yun Lintian wouldn't let him escape so easily. With a casual step, he appeared before the fleeing commander, his sword raised high.

"Leaving so soon, Commander Zhao?" Yun Lintian asked, his voice a chilling whisper against the desolate wind.

"You... I..." Commander Zhao's eyes widened in terror, his voice caught in his throat. He desperately tried to summon his divine energy, to activate a defensive talisman, but it was too late.

"Bye." Yun Lintian's sword descended, its lightning blade slicing through Commander Zhao's defenses, cleaving his body in two. The commander's lifeless halves collapsed to the ground, his eyes still wide with shock and disbelief.

The remaining soldiers, witnessing the swift and brutal execution of their commander, were paralyzed with fear. They dropped their weapons, their bodies trembling, their eyes pleading for mercy.

Yun Lintian's gaze swept over them, his expression cold and indifferent. He had no desire to waste his time on these insignificant pawns.

"Leave," he commanded, his voice echoing through the desolate landscape. "And tell your superiors that we will meet again in the battlefield. Don't run to me by then."

The soldiers, relieved to be spared, scrambled to their feet, fleeing back towards the city, their fear fueling their haste. They left behind a trail of corpses and shattered weapons, a testament to Yun Lintian's overwhelming power.

Yun Lintian sheathed his sword, the Heaven Piercing Sword humming softly, its thirst for battle momentarily satiated. He waved his hand and collected the storage rings of the fallen

enemies.

"Oh, not bad. They're quite rich. It seems robbery is indeed a profitable business," Yun Lintian said as he roughly calculated the number of Spirit Beads within the storage rings. With the addition of his four hundred thousand, he now had more than three million in his

possession.

"That was fun, Big Brother Yun!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with childish glee.

Yun Lintian chuckled, ruffling her hair. "Indeed, it was. Now, let's continue our journey. We have much to do and many people to find."

With a step forward, Yun Lintian transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from sight. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, none of them had interfered; otherwise, they would be dead by now.

Yun Lintian traveled across the battlefield, encountering a few cultivators and decayed beasts. Some tried to rob him, while others merely passed by. He eliminated anyone who attackedn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

him.

"Hmm?"

Yun Lintian suddenly spotted an intense battle ahead. A young man was struggling against five cultivators. Though stronger, he was finding it difficult to fight them all at once.

The young man spotted Yun Lintian. Instead of asking for help, he shouted, "Run away!" Yun Lintian was taken aback and smiled wryly. It seemed this person thought he was weak.

One of the five cultivators glanced at Yun Lintian and motioned with his chin. Two of them immediately rushed toward Yun Lintian.

"Damn it!" the young man cursed, trying to stop them, but the others held him back.

"What kind of drama is this?" Yun Lintian was speechless. He simply waved his hand, sending

a wind blade toward the oncoming attackers.

Puff!

The two attackers were instantly cut in half and died on the spot. This scene stunned

everyone.

Yun Lintian nodded at the young man and said, "Go ahead. I'm leaving now."
