Chapter 301: Entering the City
This was the conclusion that Jun Zijin and Jun Yutang had come to earlier. No matter which side Ye Xuefeng chose, the scales would inevitably tip.
Instead of competing against each other, they decided to jointly recruit him for now, pass through the obstacle of Jun Chengye, and let Ye Xuefeng decide his allegiance after they entered Junlin City.
Upon hearing this, Jun Fengya couldn’t help but look at Lin Fengmian.
She wasn’t worried about Lin Fengmian going back on his word; she was just curious about his response.
Lin Fengmian coldly stared at the two of them, his voice icy as he asked, “Am I so out of touch? Are you two already the Saint Emperors of Junyan City?”
“Of course not.”
Jun Zijin and Jun Yutang would not dare to make such a claim. With the Ling Tian Saint Emperor still alive, it was tantamount to courting death.
Lin Fengmian sneered, “Then what right do you two fools, who can’t even guarantee your own lives, have to make empty promises to me?”
“What I want, do I need your charity? Can’t I take it myself?”
“Frankly, you should be the ones kneeling and begging me. If I’m in a good mood, I might consider taking you along.”
Jun Zijin and Jun Yutang, just like Jun Fengya at the beginning, had hardly taken Lin Fengmian seriously.
Or rather, their attitude was even worse than Jun Fengya’s first impression.
At least, Jun Fengya had shown basic respect by understanding his preferences and personality.
In their eyes, Lin Fengmian was nothing more than a lowborn lucky fool who stumbled upon an opportunity. Without their resources, he would have to grovel before noble-borns like them in order to make any progress.
When they heard Lin Fengmian’s arrogant words, their faces turned red with anger.
They had been flattered and adored since birth. When had they ever been so openly belittled?
Kneel down and beg him?
How dare this lowborn utter such insolence!
Jun Yutang, young and impulsive, couldn’t contain himself and shouted angrily, “How dare you speak to us like that!”
Jun Zijin shook his head with a cold laugh. “A worthless lowborn with a ruined future – this prince is just showing mercy. And you actually think you’re someone important?”
Lin Fengmian’s voice remained calm, but his words cut deep. “I may not be important, but I can humbly say that killing you would be as easy as slaughtering a dog.”
Jun Zijin’s eyes turned cold and he sneered, “Then why don’t you try entering the formation?”
Holding Jun Yunshang in his arms, Lin Fengmian smiled faintly. “As you wish.”
Without hesitation, he leapt forward, transforming into a streak of light that shot towards the city, leaving everyone stunned.
Was he really not afraid of death?
To charge in like that?
“Don’t let him get close! He might summon a heavenly tribulation!” Jun Zijin quickly ordered.
Lin Fengmian’s habit of using Heavenly Tribulation to defeat enemies had become his signature move. Jun Zijin had been prepared for it.
It was as if Lin Fengmian was a child of heaven, living a life filled with cheats and absurdities.
Even the heavenly tribulations seemed to come and go at his beck and call. It was simply outrageous.
Inside the city, the defenders released the tensioned strings of their Divine Crossbows in unison, sending a barrage of arrows streaking through the air like meteors toward Lin Fengmian and his companion.
Before Lin Fengmian could make a move, Jun Fengya had already charged forward on her Lion Roar Beast. With a swing of her long sword, a fierce gale arose.
The violent wind deflected the incoming arrows. Jun Fengya’s cold voice rang out, “Everyone, listen to my command! Help Young Master Ye break through the formation!”
“Yes!” her subordinates responded loudly and enthusiastically.
Jun Fengya led the charge, riding her Lion Roar Beast at the forefront. Her crimson longsword danced in the air, a red tornado slicing through the battlefield.
At the same time, her subordinates unleashed their techniques and treasures, forming sturdy barriers and protective arrays to shield against the enemy’s assault.
Over a dozen streaks of rainbow light streaked toward the city, like a surging tidal wave sweeping everything in its path.
Inside the city, spells, magical crossbows, and treasures unleashed a relentless barrage. Fiery dragons spewed flames, swordlights tore through the sky, and the ground shook as mountains seemed to collapse.
Dazzling spell lights and flames intertwined, dwarfing any earthly brilliance.
Jun Fengya’s subordinates withstood the fierce attack, ensuring that Lin Fengmian remained unharmed as they advanced.
The hundred-zhang distance disappeared in an instant. Even though everyone was injured to varying degrees, they finally reached the outskirts of the city.
Jun Fengya led the charge, her crimson longsword cutting through the sky like a flash of red lightning, striking at Tianyu City’s protective formation.
Her subordinates followed closely behind, each unleashing powerful spells and techniques as magical tools flew from their hands.
Scarlet fireballs streaked across the night sky like meteors, crashing into the formation and causing massive explosions.
Lightning arcs twisted like snakes, intertwined sword auras slashed with precision, and gusts of fist winds rained down, relentlessly targeting the formation’s weakest points.
The city’s defensive formation began to waver under the onslaught from all directions, and cracks began to spread rapidly.
Despite the Unity Realm cultivators within the formation desperately trying to maintain it, they struggled to hold out against such overwhelming attacks.
Lin Fengmian, who had been conserving his strength, suddenly gleamed with a cold light in his eyes. He let out a loud laugh, “This is far enough. I’ll lead the way, follow me when the opportunity arises!”
Raising the 镇渊 (Zhenyuan) sword high, he summoned rolling black clouds in the sky as if heralding a heavenly tribulation.
The defenders inside the city noticed the anomaly and panicked, their eyes fixed on the ominous sky.
With a flick of the Zhenyuan Sword, Lin Fengmian shouted, “Break!
A thunderous roar shook the sky, and a brilliant bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the formation of Tianyu City.
The Zhenyuan Sword, imbued with the destructive power of lightning, tore through the formation like a massive curtain being torn apart.
Seizing the moment, Lin Fengmian braved the storm of attacks with Jun Yunshang in his arms.
Like a bolt of lightning, he darted through the breach in the formation and entered the city in an instant.
Those who tried to follow him were forced to retreat under the overwhelming counterattacks.
As Lin Fengmian entered the city, the formation quickly closed behind him, sealing Jun Fengya and her people outside.
They could only watch helplessly as Lin Fengmian entered the city alone, their faces pale with shock.
“Not good! Young Master Ye is trapped inside the formation!”
“He’s fallen into their trap! What should we do?”
After all, no matter how powerful Lin Fengmian was, the city still housed over twenty Unity Realm cultivators.
While the others were frantically attacking the outer formation to break in, Jun Fengya remained calm. “Hold your position! Stay calm and prepare to coordinate with Young Master Ye from outside!”
Inside the city, Lin Fengmian, carrying Jun Yunshang, stormed in with a whirlwind at his back, like a celestial star crashing to earth, exuding unmatched grandeur.
Jun Zijin, who had deliberately let him into the city, burst out laughing. “Foolish boy! You refuse to tread the path to heaven, yet you willingly enter the gates of hell.”
“No matter how capable you are, trapped in my formation, you’ll only face either capture or death!”
Lin Fengmian’s long hair danced in the wind. With one arm around the peerless beauty Jun Yunshang and the other arm holding his sword, he exuded an air of carefree confidence.
He laughed heartily and announced, “Listen up, everyone! You are already surrounded by me. Kneel and surrender, and I may spare your worthless lives!”
His voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the city and shaking the hearts of all within.
The crowd stared at him in utter disbelief, as if they were looking at a madman.
Jun Zijin and his companion found the situation absurd.
Wasn’t this supposed to be their line?
How could this man have stolen their script?
