Another day passed by. The atmosphere on Black Jade Island became abnormally lively as countless people kept pouring in. Various businesses flourished as they had never seen before. All the accommodations were filled up instantly. Those who came late had no way of finding a room. They could only wander around the streets and find a random place to settle in.
However, those with some insights could obviously feel the storm was brewing under this bustling atmosphere. They believed it won't be long before something big happened.
On a relatively remote beach, Yun Lintian was leisurely lying on a beach chair, basking in the sun with Linlin. He didn't seem to care about the situation he was in right now.
Yun Lintian took a sip of coconut water and sighed softly. "The coconut in this world is so delicious. Should I open a beverage business?" As he spoke this, he gently fed Linlin with it, and the latter took a sip happily.
"While everyone is busy practicing, you are actually enjoying the beach? I'm not surprised why you're so weak." Hongyue's voice suddenly resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.
Yun Lintian rolled his eyes and said. "Can't you see? I'm doing my job right now."
"Really? What a leisure job you have there." Hongyue sneered and unbothered to care about Yun Lintian further.
Yun Lintian laughed slightly and spread his Spiritual Sense out to check the surroundings. He deliberately came here to give Du Huanfeng's people a chance. However, perhaps it was too obvious. That was why no one came after him until now.
Just as Yun Lintian was about to retract his Spiritual Sense, a sense of danger suddenly arose within his heart. He had no time to think further. He instinctively picked Linlin up and executed the Shadow Step.
Boom!
In that instant, the area where Yun Lintian was there earlier abruptly exploded, creating a massive crater in the sandy ground. If Yun Lintian was a second slower, he would undoubtedly be half-dead by now.
Yun Lintian reappeared several meters away and raised his head to look at the sky. He saw three men in black clothes covering from head to toe staring at him with a trace of surprise in their eyes. They probably didn't expect Yun Lintian to have such a fast reaction.
"Who are you?" Yun Lintian pretended to ask.
The three men didn't say anything. They spread out, sealing Yun Lintian's escape route, and prepared to capture him.
Yun Lintian's face turned cold. He stomped the ground underneath him, fully activating the formation he had prepared. In the next moment, a thick blue barrier quickly formed into a large dome, covering the entire beach.
The three men in black looked at the barrier briefly and discovered it was actually an isolating barrier instead of a killing formation. They immediately understood. Yun Lintian had been waiting for them to show up all this time.
"It seems you're prepared… However, no one won't be able to help you." One of the three men, who seemed to be the group's leader, said calmly. Before coming here, they used some means to restrain Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei. Hence, Yun Lintian was all alone now.
Yun Lintian's face sank upon hearing this. His brows knitted together, appearing as if he was in peril.
The leader noticed the change in Yun Lintian's expression and let out a cold sneer. He sent a signal to the other two, and they immediately charged at Yun Lintian altogether.
They didn't notice that the moment they moved, the distress on Yun Lintian's face had vanished and was replaced with a cold smile.
Under the tightly locked Spiritual Sense of the monarchs, Yun Lintian tapped his right foot on the ground slightly. In that instant, a powerful aura burst out from all directions, accompanied by several terrifying bolts of lightning that struck down the three men in black.
The expressions of the three men underneath the black veils changed drastically. They hurriedly conjured profound defense around their bodies, trying their best to fend off the lightning bombards.
Yun Lintian quickly made a few complicated hand seals, and countless sharp profound lights immediately filled the space before ruthlessly shooting at the three.
"We've underestimated him!" One of the three shouted with a grimace. They were naturally aware of Yun Lintian's monstrous formation profound talent. They had carefully inspected the surroundings before making a move, but they didn't see anything except the isolating formation. How could Yun Lintian hide these killing formations from their monarch's perception!?
What they didn't know was Yun Lintian's formation profound art was entirely different from the one they knew. Whether it was the rune inscribing method or arranging method. Everything was on another level. Their perception alone might not be able to detect it if Yun Lintian wanted to conceal it completely.
The leader stared at Yun Lintian gloomily. Although these killing formations weren't enough to kill him, delaying him was inevitable. As long as Yun Lintian continued to keep them busy, Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei would definitely come to rescue him in time.
Thinking of this, his eyes flashed with fierceness. The surrounding air was violently torn apart as his figure shot out like lightning, straight at Yun Lintian. The profound lights and lightning bolts could not catch up with his speed.
"Die!" The leader sent out a punch at Yun Lintian's belly, aiming to cripple him.
Feeling the tremendous pressure coming toward him, Yun Lintian wasn't panicked. His body swayed slightly and disappeared from the spot, leaving an afterimage behind. With his current strength, fighting the tenth-level monarch head-on was no different from committing suicide.
At the same time, Yun Lintian's profound energy burst out, forming into four water swords around him before shooting toward the leader under his command.
Boom!
The leader punched the afterimage, causing the beach behind to explode. Perceiving the four water swords coming, he snorted coldly, and brightly red flame abruptly appeared in front of him, forming into a large shield.
The water swords directly hit the flame shield and seemed to stop on the spot. The leader sneered and was about to launch a counterattack. His pupils suddenly shrank as he saw the four water swords silently penetrate his flame shield and go straight at his chest.
Puff!
