Chapter 522

"Don't worry, I'm still fine." Lin Yu comforted Diao Chan.

Dong Zhuo, seeing none of the Five Tiger Generals could stand, burst into loud laughter.

"I thought you'd be strong, but you're nothing but trash—then become my demonic soldiers!"

He laughed uncontrollably as he gathered demonic energy, intending to obliterate the Five Tiger Generals all at once.

Taking advantage of his arrogance, Lin Yu gripped his long sword, silently gathering strength, and unleashed his ultimate technique: "Annihilation Slash." As the strike launched, he felt a cold blue energy from behind also strike Dong Zhuo.

It was Wang Yun's power—the two forces merged, slamming into Dong Zhuo's abdomen, making blood seep from his lips as he staggered backward.

Dong Zhuo stared in shock at the newcomer: Wang Yun and Sun Shangxiang, supporting each other, stepped onto the battlefield.

Dong Zhuo was stunned:

"This is impossible, Wang Yun—how did you break my barrier? How are you awake?"

Wang Yun spoke slowly.

"No one stays asleep forever. You really thought I was easy to handle? Dong Zhuo, prepare to die."

Dong Zhuo roared:

"Enough talk!"

With that, he drank again from that mysterious substance...

Cao Jili demanded:

"Dong Zhuo, what the hell are you drinking?"

Wang Yun's eyes widened.

"Could it be... something from the Demon Realm?"

Dong Zhuo smirked proudly:

"Hah, how could what Lu Bu consumed compare to mine? Without contacting the Demon Realm, how could you know its power? This is the Demon Lord's essence, given to me."

Dong Zhuo gulped down a bottle, muttered a spell, and suddenly his combat power surged—rocketing straight to 90,000.

Wang Yun and the Five Tiger Generals channeled their combat power into Lin Yu, since Lin Yu was the strongest among them.

Though Lin Yu had just been defeated, after receiving Wang Yun's power, he became both offensive and defensive, able to utilize everyone's strength far more efficiently—something no one else could do, so they had no choice but to choose him.

Even with Wang Yun's help, the outcome was identical to before—Dong Zhuo knocked the Five Tiger Generals down again. This time, however, the backlash injured Dong Zhuo himself, forcing him to stagger backward several steps.

Zhao Yun muttered: "Even combining all 4.6 of our powers, we can't win—will we die here?"

At that moment, Cao Cao appeared from behind, his voice stirring hope: "Not necessarily! Add our four combat powers and the Purification technique—Dong Zhuo, you're in for a disappointment!"

Dong Zhuo, seeing Huyan Jue Luo, erupted in rage: "Huyan Jue Luo—again! Ten years ago you stole my Axiang, and now you dare disrespect your father-in-law?"

Cao Cao shrugged indifferently: "You should think about how you treated us before." As he spoke, he played the item Lin Yu had given him, boosting the Five Tiger Generals' power.

【351】 Demon Realm Invasion: The Great Battle Against the Demonic Dong Zhuo

Everyone channeled their combat power into Lin Yu. Diao Chan tried to join, but felt her power being drained by Cao Cao's music—her combat power dropped to just 3,000 before stopping.

Even without Diao Chan, the combined power of all others focused on Lin Yu brought his combat power to 120,000—but it seemed to hit a limit, unable to rise further.

Dong Zhuo sneered: "Think this is enough to defeat me? Don't even dream it!"

He drank another bottle of Demon Realm essence—his combat power also reached 120,000, seemingly at its peak.

Lin Yu noticed Dong Zhuo's body beginning to crack, as if unable to contain such immense power. His flesh slowly unraveled, blood streaming from his wounds.

Due to the large number of people on Guan Yu's side, their energy was chaotic and far less pure than Dong Zhuo's—Wang Da Dong gradually fell into disadvantage.

Cao Cao was possessed by Dengtian Ge and began using his supernatural ability, causing Dong Zhuo's combat power to drop.

Lin Yu felt a profound change within himself, spotted a weakness in Dong Zhuo mid-battle, and unleashed all his strength—his sword, wrapped in crimson energy, struck Dong Zhuo with full force.

"Phantom manifestation of supernatural ability—Liu Bei's talent surpasses mine. At such a young age, he's already achieved this." Wang Yun was deeply shaken.

Dong Zhuo blocked Lin Yu's strike, but his inner power spiraled out of control—his resistance collapsed instantly. Lin Yu surged forward with another blow, sending Dong Zhuo flying several meters.

Seeing Dong Zhuo reach for another bottle of Demon Realm essence, Lin Yu decided to give him no chance—he gritted his teeth, overcame exhaustion, and teleported beside him. A flash of swordlight struck—the bottle was knocked away, and Dong Zhuo was sliced backward. But unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo tumbled right onto the bottle.

Dong Zhuo immediately drank the Demon Realm essence. Diao Chan was close by—he turned to strike her.

Lin Yu panicked, desperate to teleport and save Diao Chan—but his body was drained, unable to summon any power. He could only watch helplessly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yun opened a temporal rift—black hands shot out, grabbed Dong Zhuo, and dragged him back into the rift, which then sealed shut.

The crowd cheered. Diao Chan cried excitedly: "He's sent back! We're alive!"

Others laughed. Wang Yun stepped forward slowly, smiling: "Finally over."

Others joked: "Yeah—finally over."

This grueling battle ended. The demonic Dong Zhuo of the Silver Dimension was defeated; the Silver Dimension enjoyed temporary peace.

At that moment, Cao Cao's voice echoed in Lin Yu's mind: "Lin Yu, can we talk privately?"

"Of course. First, handle the matter at hand." Lin Yu answered without hesitation.

After resolving the affairs at Hedong High, Lin Yu dragged his exhausted body over to the group. Guan Yu and the others wore victorious smiles, curious: "Are you all right?"

"We're fine," they replied.

"Though we've temporarily eliminated Dong Zhuo in this dimension, don't let your guard down—they'll return," Lin Yu said with a solemn expression.

Suddenly, Dengtian Ge's voice echoed in his mind: "Master, the Silver Dimension is in trouble."

"Is the Iron Dimension under attack?" Lin Yu asked, disbelieving.

Dengtian Ge replied: "Demon creatures across all four dimensions have launched simultaneous invasions. Your incident triggered Diabolo the Demon Lord to send his vanguard."

"Damn, I never expected him to strike so early," Lin Yu exclaimed.

"The Alliance Leader personally led the entire Xicheng Guard into battle—we don't know if he's alive or dead. That's why I'm notifying you," the voice explained.

"I go? Even the Alliance Leader fell—where's Xia Tian? Xia Tian is the ultimate form of the Tekken people!" Lin Yu asked.

Dengtian Ge spoke with a solemn expression: "Diabolo the Demon Lord planned this meticulously. Before the invasion, he ambushed Xia Tian—Xia Tian is severely wounded. That's why the Alliance Leader took all of Xicheng Guard into battle."

"Is the situation that urgent? What about the remaining timelines?" Cao Cao looked at Lin Yu with a heavy countenance.

Lin Yu said nothing, but his expression was equally solemn as he continued contacting Dengtian Ge.

"The matter in the Silver Timeline is nearly resolved—Master defeated him decisively, and the Silver Timeline should be safe for the short term; I've also placed full surveillance. Therefore, Master, the entire timeline needs your strength."

"Da Dong and Xiu have been sent out by the Mengzhu Sect."

"Before the Mengzhu disappeared, he reached a temporary alliance with the Gou clan of the Bronze Timeline and dispatched the Demon-Slaying Warrior Ji An to assist—so the Bronze Timeline should also remain stable for now."

"So Da Dong and Xiu were sent out too." Lin Yu thought to himself.

"Right now, the most critical issue is another timeline—we must use Da Dong as Xia Tian's condition to gather everyone as quickly as possible, so we can wage war against the Demon Realm."

After hearing this, Cao Cao and the others nodded in agreement.

Dengtian Ge continued: "Master, the Five Tiger Generals also have considerable combat power—it would be best to bring them back as well; this would add more strength for dealing with the Demon Realm."

【352】 Leave the Silver Timeline and return to the Gold Timeline!

Lin Yu answered without hesitation: "This timeline isn't stable yet—we can only leave them temporarily. Wang Yun needs them for assistance. Just open the timeline passage for me now; it's time for us to return."

After giving instructions to Guan Yu and the others, Lin Yu stepped into the timeline tunnel. Guan Yu and the others watched him leave, their eyes filled with tears, reluctant to let him go.

But they couldn't stop him—he didn't belong to this timeline. Upon returning to the Gold Timeline's Dengtian Ge, he saw Wang Da Dong sitting on the ground, healing his wounds.

"Da Dong, are you alright?" Lin Yu rushed forward, asking with concern.

Wang Da Dong looked up, forcing a bitter smile: "I'm fine—just drained. A little rest will fix it. How about you? Did you deal with Dong Zhuo?"

"He's dealt with, but the problem isn't simple." Lin Yu briefly outlined the full-scale invasion of the Demon Realm, Xia Tian's severe injuries, and the Mengzhu's disappearance. "We must act immediately."

Wang Da Dong immediately stood up, ready to move. Lin Yu stared at him helplessly, then spoke slowly.

"Da Dong, calm down first. We've just finished two brutal battles across these timelines—our strength is severely weakened. Charging in now would be suicide."

Xiu, standing nearby, heard this and his expression softened slightly as he added.

"Da Dong, listen to me—among these four timelines, the only one who can help you is Xia Tian."

"Sun Ce in the Silver Timeline is gone, ZACK in the Bronze Timeline is unreliable, and Diabolo the Demon Lord knows this perfectly—he'll concentrate all his forces against everyone in the Gold Timeline. Your chance of survival is less than ten percent. Do you understand?"

But Wang Da Dong didn't care—he declared boldly.

"We've already fought to the end. I, Wang Da Dong, have never feared anything."

"Of course you're not afraid—but what about your parents? What about Lei Ting? Going there might mean death!" Xiu cried out in desperation.

Hearing this, Wang Da Dong fell silent for a moment, then firmly said.

"This concerns all timelines—I must give everything I have. I believe my parents will understand."

Lin Yu saw the struggle on Wang Da Dong's face and knew he was thinking of Lei Ting; he himself couldn't help but recall the woman in Dengtian Ge, his face turning grim.

Seeing how torn Wang Da Dong was, Lin Yu was at a loss—but he still insisted.
