Chapter 546

He was completely baffled—what kind of person was Lin Yu? Why was he so powerful? The three of them combined couldn't match his strength; they lacked even the ability to defend themselves, by ten thousand points—this was simply unbelievable.

Lin Yu's gaze was calm, fixed directly on Ah Jie and the other two, asking in a tone utterly devoid of emotion: "Speak! Where is Dugu Lang?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Jie wiped the blood from his lips, clenched his teeth, and said: "Don't dream it—I will never let my master be harmed."

"Is that so?" Lin Yu coldly sized up Ah Jie, killing intent surging in his eyes: "You're decent—but only decent. If you won't speak, I'll make you wish you were dead—and unable to die."

"Even if I speak, I won't live—what can you do to me? Hehe…" Ah Jie let out a sneering laugh, his words defiant, yet his mind on razor-sharp alert, for he sensed a tremendous terror—his killer's instinct, honed through years of blood.

"Oh?" Lin Yu actually laughed, his eyes brightening, an aura of wild arrogance radiating from his entire body.

"Y-you… y-you…" Ah Jie couldn't meet Lin Yu's eyes—his soul trembled, a sensation he had never felt before.

"Boom boom boom…" Suddenly, heavy pressure enveloped Lin Yu, his aura surging wildly, a terrifying force making the air itself burn.

"Last chance—where is Dugu Lang?" Lin Yu asked coldly, the killing intent in his words freezing the blood.

Ah Jie and the other two froze—their expressions twisted as they felt Death whispering at their ears; this aura made every inch of their bodies ache, as if they were about to be crushed to dust.

Beads of sweat formed on Ah Jie's forehead; he struggled to speak: "I won't reveal where my master is. You're after Duan Duan Changren, aren't you? He's in 'Zone Four'—but if you don't know how to open 'Zone Four,' you'll never bring him back."

Lin Yu retracted his power, frowning in confusion: "'Zone Four'? That overgrown school?"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu remained calm: "Still, I must see Dugu Lang."

"My master can't possibly be there," Ah Jie gritted through unbearable pain—his arms were shattered, leaving only two bloody holes.

"Asking is pointless—you've run out of time." Lin Yu vanished without a trace, leaving three bewildered men behind.

"He… he left? Just like that… let us go?" Ah Jie could hardly believe it—he'd been certain he was dead, yet the man had simply spared them.

"This is too strange—why did he let us go so easily?" The other two also looked utterly confused.

Ah Jie touched his wounded limbs and chuckled bitterly: "Maybe he's got some plan?"

"Jie-ge, something feels wrong—I feel something crawling inside me," one of the psychics suddenly gasped, his face ashen, drenched in sweat, writhing in agony.

"It's unbearable—I feel like I'm going to explode."

Another psychic followed suit; at that moment, the third had collapsed on the ground, motionless, blood gushing from his mouth, life ebbing away.

"What's going on?" Ah Jie panicked, frantically checking himself—he'd thought he was fine, but the next second, he felt a force erupting inside him, surging uncontrollably.

"What's happening?!" Ah Jie screamed, fumbling for his phone to call for help—but as soon as he raised it, it slipped from his grasp, thudding to the ground. He looked down at himself—black aura now enveloped his entire body, swirling tightly around him.

【394】 Lin Yu effortlessly slaughtered the monster!

"Help… help me…" The pitiful cries echoed through the abandoned factory, unceasing.

At that moment, in a dilapidated building, Dugu Lang slowly opened his eyes, scanning the room with a cold gaze, then rose and said in a low tone: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Mei Er whispered: "Master, 'Zone Four' is wiped out—everyone is dead."

Dugu Lang's eyebrows twitched slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes; after a moment, he narrowed them, his voice heavy: "How much do you know about this?"

"I know little—only that Lao San said Lin Yu entered alone and eliminated all the Shadow Team members," Mei Er answered honestly, well aware of Dugu Lang's volatile temper and the high cost of angering him.

"You say it was Lin Yu… alone?" Dugu Lang, unsurprisingly, showed no concern for his subordinates' deaths—only for what he wanted to know.

"Lao San said so—he only glanced, then ran off," Mei Er answered honestly.

Dugu Lang fell into thought, sensing something was off, yet unable to pinpoint it; he frowned to himself: "Lin Yu… we're not finished. I hope next time you don't fall into my hands—if you do, I'll make you beg for death."

Then, Dugu Lang turned toward the moonlight outside, his voice colder than ice: "How is it going with Seeing Zhong Wanjun?"

Mei Er's eyes flickered; she asked cautiously: "No progress yet—should I go prod him?"

Dugu Lang said calmly: "Forget it. For now, don't act rashly. If he still hides, I'll give him a lesson."

"Mm-hmm."

Mei Er nodded, then stepped outside. The respectful expression on her face vanished instantly, replaced by boundless coldness and revulsion.

"Despicable bastard!" Mei Er spat furiously, turning away—she had long grown sick of Dugu Lang's violent acts since the Demon Realm invasion.

Zone Four.

After leaving the abandoned factory, Lin Yu returned to the derelict school. Wang Da Dong and Wang Yase were still missing—clearly blocked off by the office building. Han Wenlin still lay on the ground.

"Let's see what's hidden here!" Lin Yu's eyes flashed; his ever-burning combat power emitted a mysterious glow in the night. Without hesitation, he stepped into the abandoned campus.

"Crunch…" Lin Yu stepped onto damp grass, mud clinging thickly, carrying a scent of damp decay. He immediately realized—he was inside the Illusionary Realm.

"Interesting." He surveyed the Illusionary Realm around him; his hands grew searing hot, the air crackling with energy.

A faint smile curled his lips; he swung his arm—a small burst of power shot out, instantly forming a blazing orb that surged toward the Illusionary Realm.

"Boom…"

Light exploded, annihilating everything around him. Lin Yu stood within the radiance, watching the Illusionary Realm crumble and vanish without a trace.

"Shhh." A fissure suddenly appeared before Lin Yu; immediately, a massive claw shot out from the crack, lashing toward him.

Lin Yu kicked out—"Crack!" The dark claw shattered instantly. Then, a pitch-black head emerged from the fissure, its glowing red eyes fixed on Lin Yu, brimming with ferocity and cruelty.

"What the hell is this?!" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow—it was no ordinary creature, more like a demonized beast.

He could see it bore massive wings, still incomplete—but that only confirmed its terrifying combat power.

0 ······· Requesting flowers···· ······

"Roar!"

The monstrous beast roared, opening a abyssal maw and lunging at Lin Yu, aiming to swallow him whole.

"Annoying," Lin Yu said coldly.

His left hand's spatial power swelled instantly; he drove a punch straight into the monster's belly—its force was immense, the air shrieking as it tore apart; the power was astonishing—if any ordinary psychic had taken it, they'd have been reduced to pulp.

"Thud."

With a muffled impact, the force pierced clean through the monster's chest; the searing fist sent a deafening, sky-shaking howl of agony echoing from it.

Lin Yu gave it no chance to recover—he gestured, and the Chaos Sword, infused with its sword spirit, appeared instantly in his hand; he thrust it straight toward the monster's third eye.

"Sssss…" The Chaos Sword pierced cleanly through the monster's head.

"Roar!"

After the monster raised its head and died, its massive body instantly turned to dust; all returned to stillness. The surroundings remained pitch-black and hollow, with only a faint red glow visible in the distance, like moonlight illuminating Lin Yu's path.

He walked toward that red glow, and soon arrived before a massive gate, upon which hung a huge combination lock. Beneath the lock was a raised panel, filled with dense, intricate script.

Lin Yu's eyes flashed; he swung his Chaos Sword down in one strike, severing the lock, then pushed open the heavy gate. Inside lay a long, dark corridor, its walls lined with countless candles, lighting the narrow path.

"Snap, snap…" Lin Yu walked slowly along the dim path. Around him were clear signs of battle—Wang Da Dong and the others had definitely been here, encountered enemies, and very likely met their end. After all, whoever could summon an Illusionary Realm to block them was no ordinary person.

【395】 System reward issued: Thunder Power!

Suddenly, Lin Yu halted, carefully scanning his surroundings. He sensed a powerful killing intent lurking nearby—even he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Whoosh."

A twisted, grotesque beast appeared before him. If the previous monsters had been illusions, this one was undeniably real, tangible.

It was a colossal pterodactyl, its wings spread wide enough to block half the sky, its tail glinting with cold light.

"Hum~" The pterodactyl flapped its wings, summoning a tornado that shook the walls violently, roaring with deafening force. It was unimaginable that such a place could harbor a beast like "757."

"Whatever you are!" Lin Yu sneered, slashing swiftly with his Chaos Sword.

"Chirr…"

The Chaos Sword, blazing with searing light, struck the pterodactyl's wing. The beast's eyes glinted with cold fury as it slammed its wings, kicking up a storm of dust to block the blade. Then, with a sudden dive, it bared its razor-sharp fangs.

"Clang."

The Chaos Sword clashed with the fangs, spraying visible sparks—but the pterodactyl's teeth remained unharmed, leaving only a faint, indistinct scratch.

Lin Yu blinked in surprise, then a flash of cold light passed through his eyes. His gaze turned serious. He had not used his full strength in that strike, yet no ordinary being could have withstood it.

Yet this pterodactyl had absorbed it outright, suffering only minor damage—its hide was clearly extraordinarily thick.

"Aaaoo!"

Enraged, the pterodactyl's eyes blazed with murderous intent. It opened its bloodied maw, launching a black energy ball that surged forward with overwhelming force. Where it passed, walls shattered and dust exploded.

"Not bad," Lin Yu said coldly. A chilling white aura radiated from his body. With his Chaos Sword, he unleashed infinite destructive power in one swift slash—cutting straight through the black ball, then piercing through the pterodactyl's thick wing, running it clean through.

"Aaaah!" The pterodactyl shrieked, unable to believe this man had impaled it with a single strike. It thrashed its wings desperately to flee, but as its body lifted, Lin Yu's blade came rushing toward it again.

"Boom!"

The pterodactyl's body was blasted backward again, smashing through several walls and revealing a wide, open space.

Wang Da Dong and Hearing Guan Yu, covered in wounds, fought fiercely against a black-robed figure. Wang Yase and the Black Dragon lay in pools of blood, barely breathing, their conditions critical.

Seeing his situation turn dire, the black-robed figure tried to flee. But Wang Da Dong and Hearing Guan Yu, like two enraged lions, clung to him despite their injuries, preventing any escape.

Lin Yu's eyes turned icy. With a single precise strike, his Chaos Sword sliced through the monster bird's neck, killing it.
