Chapter 402: I’m Already At Half Step Yuanying, What’s Wrong With Sleeping A Little?!

　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　The atmosphere in the huge City Lord manor was extremely strange and awkward. Yan Zhan’s words had a mind-numbing effect on everyone.

　　But as his words left his mouth, an intense burst of aura shot into the sky. No one dared to continue mocking him.

　　“It’s here! It’s here! Senior Brother Yan Zhan’s ultimate technique, Hundred Steps God Fist!”

　　“Hehe, there was once a late stage Golden Dan cultivator from a small clan who thought that he could suppress Senior Brother Yan Zhan with his superior cultivation. In the end, he was smacked to death in three fists after Senior Brother Yan Zhan used this skill.”

　　The group of disciples from the Infernal Hell Sect were extremely excited as they looked at the fight with expectations.

　　“Since you insist on being so stubborn, you can go to hell! Sky Shattering Fist!”

　　“Dong!”

　　Yan Zhan became impatient when he looked at Lin Qingyun keeping his silence. His entire body seemed to disappear into the void and reappeared instantly beside Lin Qingyun in an instant. His fist carried a frightful edge as it smashed fiercely against Lin Qingyun’s heart!

　　But unexpectedly, this technique which appeared to carry unstoppable power actually didn’t deal any damage to Lin Qingyun at all!

　　“Not bad, the strength is quite good, but perhaps you can make the punch a little heavier?”

　　Lin Qingyun, who had a tall frame, stood on the spot, staring down coldly at Yan Zhan. A row of pearly white teeth lined his mouth.

　　“Impossible!”

　　Yan Zhan raised his head and looked at Lin Qingyun with disbelief. He simply did not dare to believe that his sure-kill technique had been blocked just like that!

　　This Hundred Step God Fist was something that he’d obtained through a huge chance encounter. Just by relying on this fist technique, he was even able to rank among the top 100 of the sect’s core disciples!

　　This fist technique could allow a Golden Dan expert to wield a tiny wisp of the strength of a Yuanying expert to control space. Against a late stage Golden Dan cultivator from a tiny countryside clan, it should be as easy as splitting bamboo to kill the latter. But Lin Qingyun had actually taken the attack head on without suffering a single iota of damage!

　　“Hur hur, This Seat is not just a regular late stage Golden Dan expert. Did you think that only you guys can have fortuitous encounters?”

　　“Kacha!”

　　Lin Qingyun sneered playfully. Without knowing when, countless tiny black tattoos surfaced from his skin, covering his entire body!

　　Although the events took a long time to explain, everything had happened in the blink of an eye. Taking advantage of the timing when Yan Zhan’s ling Qi was greatly expended, Lin Qingyun struck out at the speed of lightning. With a single palm, he smashed Yan Zhan’s head apart.

　　“Si-la!”

　　Lin Qingyun stretched out a jade-like palm casually and reached into Yan Zhan’s dantian. Following that, a small golden ball appeared in his hand, still dripping with blood.

　　“Senior Brother!”

　　“Bastard! When the experts from the sect arrive, we’ll exterminate the entire nine generations of your family!”

　　The group of elite disciples who had come with Yan Zhan were bursting with rage and shock.

　　“Body Tempering and Qi Refining, he’s reached the late stage of Golden Dan in both aspects!”

　　Han Qing sucked in a breath of cold air. No one had expected that Lin Qingyun had hidden himself so deeply!

　　The cultivators from the Heavenly Feathers Sect also stood out and said, “Everyone, assist me to flatten the City Lord manor. There will be no lack of benefits for everyone after the whole thing is over!”

　　The situation had developed to a point where they could no longer handle by themselves. Only by combining the strength of all the experts present could they do anything.

　　Lin Qingyun had reached Golden Dan late stage in both Body Tempering and Qi Refining. His strength was extremely close to a half-step Yuanying stage. If Lin Qingyun had powerful martial techniques as well, his battle power would definitely be within the levels of a half-step Yuanying expert!

　　Only the leaders from the elite disciples of the Heavenly Feathers Sect and the Emotionless Sword Sect could fight against someone like that. Even so, the chances of their victory was not large. Moreover, Lin Qingyun still had over a hundred Golden Dan experts behind him.

　　Only half a moment passed before a huge battle suddenly exploded forth. Everyone was fighting with their lives, using their most powerful techniques from the get-go. Every move had great power; flying swords, magical treasures, talismans and other objects smashed forward. In an instant, the beautiful City Lord manor was turned into rubble. Countless ordinary people and weak cultivators were directly buried under the chaos!

　　This huge battle slowly moved to the city center. Great patches of buildings were destroyed, and the dead and injured were uncountable!

　　Lin Qingyun fought four people at once, and he even held the advantage!

　　While everyone was engaging in a life-or-death battle, no one noticed a black light shining among the ruins of the City Lord manor.

　　The black light slowly grew bigger, finally turning into a three meter wide and six meter tall black door!

　　Numerous thick roots wormed out of the door, stabbing deeply into the ground!

　　Countless low level and ordinary humans were running in a frenzy, completely bereft of hope. The mega-city’s defensive formation had already been activated and nobody could get out!

　　Golden Dan experts were extremely mighty existences. Just the ripples from their battles could easily decimate everything a hundred zhang around them!

　　It was a pity that when the gods fought, it was the mortals that suffered!

　　In a small town not far from the mega-city, a youngster was lying lazily on the bed, preparing to sleep.

　　“Peng! Peng! Peng!”

　　“Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Stop sleeping! Something huge’s happened!”

　　A series of frenzied banging sounds rang out from outside the simple and crude door of the room, followed by the anxious cries of a man.

　　The youth in the room yawned and said with dissatisfaction, “I’m already at half-step Yuanying, what’s wrong with sleeping a little?!”

　　“The Human-Faced Peach Tree has appeared!”

　　The group of disciples outside of the door did not know whether to laugh or cry when they heard the words of this senior brother of theirs.

　　The youngster made a face and said lazily, “How annoying, I went through great efforts to finally get the chance to come out here and have fun. Who would have thought that the Human-Faced Peach Tree would actually appear here. Whatever, those old fellows in the sect seems to really care a lot about it. Forget it, I’ll just go and secure that Human-Faced Peach Tree first.”

　　The group climbed onto a spirit vessel and quickly disappeared into the sky.

　　At this time, the battle within the city had developed into a stalemate. The Lin Clan’s other late stage Golden Dan expert was able to deal with multiple experts by himself.

　　Han Qing’s group of four was also being pushed back and dominated by Lin Qingyun. From time to time, a Golden Dan expert would fall.

　　“Boom!”

　　A huge sound rang out as a mushroom cloud rose into the sky. A powerful shock wave surged outwards, sweeping through everything for tens of kilometers!

　　Not a single blade of grass remained in the zone 10 kilometers around the blast. A terrifying huge crater had also appeared on the ground!

　　The explosion was actually caused by a middle stage Golden Dan expert self-detonating! The result was terrifyingly ferocious!

　　It was unknown how many low leveled cultivators and ordinary humans died under this blast, and this was just a small area of the city!

　　There were no less than 100 million people living in the mega-city! It was the core living area within several hundred thousand li! And for the people in the city, this battle was a disaster of epic proportions!

　　A fight involving several hundred Golden Dan experts was enough to level the entire city. A single strike could turn an area of the city into a forbidden land!

　　Thick, heavy columns of Yin Qi rose up from the battlefield. At the same time, countless hair-thin roots poked out of the ground and stabbed into the countless corpses of the people who’d died sudden and aggrieved deaths!

　　The reason the Human-Faced Peach Tree was classified as an evil entity was because it did not feed only on human flesh and blood only!

　　In addition to flesh and blood, it also absorbed souls and emotions!

　　All of these were nutrients for the Human-Faced Peach Tree; it completely sapped everything that was of value on a human body!

　　In the heart of the secret realm, countless nutrients flowed unceasingly through the roots of the Human-Faced Peach Tree!

　　“Hehe, haha! Exterminate, destroy, kill!”

　　The faces on the Human-Faced Peaches all cackled aloud and chorused in an extremely bone-chilling manner.

　　At this time, the Human-Faced Peach Tree was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Numerous dry, yellow leaves appeared on the branches, and the fruits grew more plentiful as well!

　　With the support of the city’s defensive formation, the Golden Dan experts from the Lin Clan were still barely able to hold on. However, they situation was slowly spiraling downwards.

　　After all, the number of Golden Dan experts the allied major clans had was several times more than the Lin Clan’s. Only, the situation was completely different when it came to the fight between the high echelons.

　　Lin Qingyun became fiercer and fiercer the longer he fought. He was suppressing the four Golden Dan late stage experts by himself, and Han Qing group had already fallen into danger many times already.
