173: Chapter 173 Divine Eyes Suppress the Five Emperors
The leading black-robed assassin let out a raspy, cold laugh, carrying a sense of condescension like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Lin Yuan, to be able to die at the combined hands of the five of us, you can consider it a fitting end."
"That talent you're so proud of is nothing more than a joke before us!"
Inside the cabin, Qin Wanshuang's protective True Essence had long been crushed into powder.
She forced her body, which was on the verge of collapsing, to hold on, while the longsword in her hand let out a desperate wail.
However, the man she was sworn to protect behind her didn't even make a move to stand up.
Lin Yuan rested his chin on one hand, his slender fingers tapping unconsciously on the tabletop, while his other hand still held that empty water cup.
Listening to the clamor outside, he only felt that the old fellow Yuwen Ji was simply foolish to a pitiful degree.
Even at this stage, he didn't think to personally come down and wipe him out with thunderous force.
Instead, he actually played this kind of assassination trick, sending five small fry who would only provide experience to the enemy.
Truly ridiculous.
Lin Yuan sighed softly in his heart.
It was a pity that only five dogs had come, not Yuwen Ji's true body.
If that old fellow had come personally, he might have actually had to call upon Teacher Qingming to temporarily avoid his sharp edge.
After all, the foundation of the mid-stage Emperor Realm was definitely not to be underestimated.
But then, Lin Yuan's fingertips applied a slight bit of force.
Crack.
That specially-made alloy water cup silently turned into a cloud of fine metal powder under his fingertips, rustling as it fell.
A bone-chilling coldness flashed deep within his eyes.
These days of passively enduring assassinations would soon be over.
The tide of offense and defense was about to turn!
"Noisy."
Lin Yuan finally spoke.
The two words were light, yet they carried an unquestionable authority.
He straightened his wrinkle-free collar, stood up, and, under Qin Wanshuang's gaze, stepped out of the cabin as if taking a leisurely stroll.
One step.
He was already suspended in that gray, Otherworldly Space, right at the very center of the five assassins' encirclement.
Seeing Lin Yuan being so arrogant even when death was imminent, the five assassins were instantly enraged.
"Courting death!"
"Kill him!"
They stopped wasting words, simultaneously circulating all their origin power within their bodies as their hands formed profound and eerie hand seals.
"Great Thousand Annihilation Array!"
Buzz!!
Beneath the five of them, a massive formation covering a radius of a thousand meters instantly lit up.
Five pitch-black pillars of light, capable of destroying heaven and earth, rose from five directions and then converged into a single point in mid-air, carrying terrifying power as they crashed down toward Lin Yuan's face like heavenly punishment!
The Otherworldly Space along the way collapsed inch by inch under this force.
This strike was enough to heavily injure any expert at the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
Inside the cabin, Qin Wanshuang saw this scene through the cracked porthole, and her entire being felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
It's over!
However.
Facing this earth-shattering combined attack, Lin Yuan simply stood quietly in the void with his hands in his pockets.
He did not summon that God and Demon Armament that had once shaken the world.
He didn't even prop up the slightest bit of a True Essence shield.
He only slowly raised his head.
At the very moment those five destructive pillars of light were about to touch his hair.
Lin Yuan's eyes, which had always been calm, suddenly snapped open!
In that instant.
The entire world lost its sound.
His left eye's pupil turned into an ultimate profound black, where a phantom of Xuanwu composed of countless runes slowly swam within, suppressing all ages!
His right eye's pupil turned into a deep, ghostly green, where a Samsara Vortex that swallowed all things spun crazily within, judging all living beings!
Black Tortoise Prison-Suppressing Pupilss!
These forbidden twin pupils, which fused the divine plant origin with the Xuanwu Martial Way, revealed their ferocious edge before the world for the first time!
Left eye, Black Tortoise World-Suppressing Pupil, activate!
Boom!!
A terrifying gravity that could not be described in words descended instantly!
In the Otherworldly Space for a hundred miles around, the air solidified, and even time seemed to have been paused.
Those five destructive pillars of light that should have destroyed everything came to a screeching halt less than a foot from Lin Yuan's face, frozen in mid-air by sheer force, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch further!
Pfft!
"Argh!!"
The five assassins at the peak of the Ninth Star of Emperor Realm didn't even have a chance to react.
They only felt as if an entire primordial divine mountain had suddenly pressed down on their shoulders.
Crack! Crack!
That was the sound of bones being crushed into powder.
Streaks of thick blood sprayed out from under their black robes, and they discovered with horror that the True Essence in their bodies was completely suppressed; let alone resisting, they couldn't even move a single finger!
What power is this?!
What kind of monster is he?!
Fear grew crazily in their hearts.
However, this was only the beginning.
Next.
Lin Yuan's right eye, the Netherworld Reincarnation Pupil, shone brilliantly!
A wail that seemed to come from the deepest part of the nine netherworlds echoed without warning in the depths of the five people's souls.
Five ghostly green beams of light, like the Reaper's scythe, instantly pierced through the foreheads of the five assassins.
"Aaaaahhhh—!"
The five top-tier experts let out piercing screams that didn't sound human at the same time.
Their souls were forcibly dragged into the ghostly green Samsara Vortex deep within his pupil by an irresistible force.
Mountains of blades, seas of fire, pots of boiling oil, slow slicing...
The extreme pain of a hundred reincarnations was compressed and experienced billions of times in a single second.
Just a single look!
No intense physical combat, no magnificent confrontation of dharma images.
The five assassins standing at the top of the Emperor Realm pyramid didn't even have the qualification to make Lin Yuan lift his hand before they completely became five husks that had lost their souls, leaving only instinctive screams.
Lin Yuan's gaze was indifferent.
He had no intention of capturing them alive for interrogation.
Because he knew very well that these were just five dogs sent by Yuwen Ji.
Killing them was enough.
Whoosh—
The pitch-black Fire of Guixu swept out, instantly swallowing those five bodies that were still twitching, along with the Great Thousand Annihilation Array they had set up and those five frozen pillars of destruction.
As the flames flickered, the physical bodies, dharma images, and True Essence of the five peak Ninth Star of Emperor Realm experts, and even those incomplete soul fragments, were all cleanly decomposed at the most fundamental level, leaving not a single trace of their existence.
An outrageously massive amount of pure origin power turned into five torrents, pouring back into Lin Yuan's sea of vegetation grotto-heaven.
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes comfortably.
He could clearly feel that his internal foundation had become a bit more profound.
Having done all this, he made a casual swipe.
A gap was torn in the Otherworldly Space barrier in front of him.
He stepped out and returned to the swaying fighter jet, as if he had just stepped out to crush five noisy ants.
In the cabin, Qin Wanshuang was still in her sword-drawing posture, frozen in place.
She had witnessed everything that overturned her understanding.
A single look.
Just a single look.
Five peak Ninth Star of Emperor Realm experts were wiped out.
Lin Yuan returned to his seat and sat down calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Tap.
He extended a finger and lightly tapped on the tabletop.
As if reminding her of something.
Qin Wanshuang shuddered and suddenly snapped back to her senses.
