Chapter 142

On the platform.

Lin Yan took a big step forward.

He cupped his hands toward the Yama's Hall disciple in front of him, which counted as a greeting.

That Yama's Hall disciple, Hun Lengsheng, had a flash in his eyes, his gaze hiding a trace of killing intent.

"From the Lin family?" Hun Lengsheng said contemptuously.

This attitude made Lin Yan feel a bit strange; he did not know the people from the Yama's Hall, and he had no past grudges or recent grievances with them.

He had not even encountered anyone from the Yama's Hall on Dragon Island, having absolutely no interaction with them.

Yet this person seemed to have immense hostility toward him.

"I am Lin Yan; please enlighten me, brother." Lin Yan did not say much more.

Hun Lengsheng's gaze turned even colder.

He looked toward the direction of the Yama's Hall below; that Yama's Hall leader, Hun Tongyou, had already sent him a voice transmission about the Lin family.

What surprised him was that their Yama's Hall first disciple, Zhang Wusheng, had actually been killed by someone from the Lin family.

This news was too explosive, leaving Hun Lengsheng feeling shocked.

"Sheng'er, as long as you kill this person, I can guarantee you a smooth rise to the top," Hun Tongyou secretly transmitted.

The position of first disciple of the Yama's Hall is not so easy to attain.

Even though Hun Lengsheng is ranked second, he still has to go through various assessments.

But if he could directly kill a member of the Lin family, it would count as avenging Zhang Wusheng; in this way, the Yama's Hall would naturally give Hun Lengsheng the treatment of a first disciple.

"Enlightenment is unnecessary; I am actually quite interested in killing you."

Hun Lengsheng sneered repeatedly, and he was seen suddenly taking down the coffin on his back.

With a bang, dust and smoke rose everywhere.

From that coffin, bursts of black Qi emerged, and then a corpse puppet clad in chain armor walked out.

Lin Yan had never seen people from the Yama's Hall, nor did he know their methods, so seeing this scene now, he was still somewhat surprised.

The disciples of the various forces around them all had flickering eyes.

"That kid from the Lin family is going to be in trouble."

"Isn't this a B-grade corpse puppet from the Yama's Hall? It looks like it was a Dao Comprehension Realm expert who was refined into a corpse puppet after death."

"Hiss... this is going to be hard to deal with."

The sound of discussion spread, and many people showed expressions of astonishment.

The corpse puppets of the Yama's Hall are also divided into grades, from high to low: Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.

A Jia-grade corpse puppet is refined after the death of a He Dao Realm expert; that is an indestructible existence.

An Yi-grade corpse puppet is refined after the death of a Dao Comprehension Realm expert.

One must know that Hun Lengsheng only has the cultivation of the Martial Pill Realm First Layer, yet he is controlling such a corpse puppet; isn't this simply invincible?

If not for these three dark horses from the Lin family.

It is estimated that the Yama's Hall would definitely be able to compete for a spot in the top ten in this Heavenly Pride Grand Meeting.

"Kid, are you prepared to die?" Hun Lengsheng sneered hideously.

Lin Yan frowned; he reached out and pointed, and a wisp of flame appeared on his finger, the temperature soaring in an instant.

"Playing with fire will make you wet the bed, kid!"

Hun Lengsheng mocked him and killed him instantly.

He took out a spirit sword from his storage bag and slashed at Lin Yan; this was actually somewhat surprising—shouldn't he be using the corpse puppet to fight?

Lin Yan did not know the inside story.

He saw his five fingers spread, and a ball of Burning Heaven Immortal Wrath ignited.

He dodged Hun Lengsheng's sword and was just about to attack when he felt a chill on his back.

That corpse puppet had actually appeared behind him without him noticing!

"Not good!" On the Lin family side, Lin Chaoyang was shocked.

When did that corpse puppet appear?

"Brother Lin Yan is in danger!"

Lin Ya was also extremely shocked; he had fought with the first disciple of the Yama's Hall but had never seen such a move.

It seems that the methods Hun Lengsheng has mastered are more advanced.

"Kid, you are too careless!"

Hun Lengsheng looked contemptuous; he saw him pinch a seal with one hand, and that corpse puppet threw a punch.

This is a corpse puppet refined after the death of a Dao Comprehension Realm expert; although its strength has been suppressed somewhat, the residual power of the Dao Comprehension Realm remains.

If Lin Yan were hit by this punch, he would undoubtedly die!

"Burning Heaven Fire!"

Lin Yan reacted instantly, covering his whole body with the flames in his hands.

He turned around and threw a punch, actually clashing with the corpse puppet.

"Bang!"

The wind of the punch was fierce, and the flames spread out, falling to the ground and burning without being extinguished.

Lin Yan retreated dozens of steps in succession; he was panting heavily, his eyes full of horror.

The strength of that corpse puppet is too powerful; he cannot fight it head-on.

"Oh? You can actually withstand this punch?" Hun Lengsheng was somewhat surprised.

If it were anyone else, they would have died under this punch long ago!

Below the platform, Lin Feng frowned.

Hun Lengsheng seems to be stronger than the previous first disciple; the point lies in their method of attack.

Zhang Wusheng relied heavily on the corpse puppet, but his corpse puppet was not strong enough, which is why he was killed by Lin Ya.

And now, Hun Lengsheng's corpse puppet is an Yi-grade corpse puppet, which has higher strength and cannot be easily broken.

Coupled with Hun Lengsheng's unique attack methods.

This makes it even more difficult to deal with.

Lin Yan has encountered a tough nut to crack.

At the same time, Hun Tongyou in the direction of the Yama's Hall stood with his hands behind his back, a contemptuous smile on his face.

A mere Lin family, did they really think they could kill his Yama's Hall disciples?

Zhang Wusheng was, after all, careless; if he had launched a thunderous strike from the beginning, it is likely that Lin Ya would have been the one to die.

Now, without hesitation, it will be as easy as pie for Hun Lengsheng to kill Lin Yan.

"Instead of resisting, you might as well stretch out your neck and let me chop it off; that way, you might suffer a little less." On the platform, Hun Lengsheng laughed contemptuously.

He wondered how strong the people of the Lin family could be!

And it turned out to be just this?

"The intensity of Burning Heaven Immortal Wrath is not enough; it cannot hurt that corpse puppet..."

Lin Yan calculated in his heart; he knew that he was probably not a match for it in a head-on collision, so he had to find Hun Lengsheng's weakness.

Soon, Lin Yan understood.

A corpse puppet is a corpse puppet; so what if it is indestructible?

It is Hun Lengsheng who is controlling the corpse puppet; as long as he can kill Hun Lengsheng, he can naturally win this match.

After making up his mind, Lin Yan instantly had a target.

"Come again!"

Lin Yan roared and beckoned to Hun Lengsheng with his finger.

This provocative action instantly made the other party lose his head.

"Hmph! You really don't know how to live!"

Hun Lengsheng's eyes were cold; he suddenly opened his mouth, and streams of black Qi sprayed out from it.

This aura was bone-chillingly cold, and a layer of frost was plated onto the corners of his mouth.

Lin Yan did not care about that; he rushed forward swiftly, his entire arm covered in Burning Heaven Immortal Wrath.

Heat and frost alternated instantly.

Large patches of ice crystals appeared in the air, and the ice crystals were ignited, turning into liquid and gradually evaporating.

This scene gave rise to endless white steam.

Seeing Lin Yan's fist about to reach him, Hun Lengsheng finally realized the danger.

He pinched a seal again, and that corpse puppet seemed to be able to teleport, appearing directly in front of Lin Yan.

This strike was blocked by the corpse puppet.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The flames wrapped around the corpse puppet, and Lin Yan only felt his fist aching, as if he had hit a steel plate.

One has to say that the Yama's Hall's corpse puppet is truly hard!

"You have no chance!"

Hun Lengsheng laughed, holding a spirit sword, and actually slashed at Lin Yan's neck.
