Chapter 794: A Mob
"Bull Head is dead?"
"How is that possible?"
The Ghost Practitioners who were pursuing Lin Yun were also shocked at this scene.
Previously, when Lin Yun had defeated Eagle Cry with a single move, it had already instilled a sense of apprehension within them regarding Lin Yun. At this moment, their fear of Lin Yun's strength had become even more unbearable.
Therefore, their pursuit of Lin Yun slowed down a bit.
Even ants strive to survive, let alone beings as powerful as they were.
"These Ghost Practitioners..."
Seeing this, Lin Yun's eyes flashed with sharpness.
These Ghost Practitioners were not only disunited but likely no more than a motley crowd.
The reactions of these Ghost Practitioners caused his mindset to shift continuously, from no hope of escape to some hope of escape, and from there, to a flicker of an idea forming in his mind.
There were a total of thirty or forty Ghost Practitioners here, each at the second layer of the Super Realm...
If he were to kill all these Ghost Practitioners, how many high-level gray Crystals could he obtain? To what Martial Arts Realm could his Mental Strength be elevated?
Perhaps it was even possible for his Mental Strength to directly break through to the level of the Super Realm!
The more Lin Yun thought about it, the more tempted he became!
However, he still needed to run a bit further...
Because killing that Bull Head Ghost Practitioner had brought him closer to the other Ghost Practitioners, he needed to widen the distance from all of them again if he wanted to slay others; otherwise, before he could kill another Ghost Practitioner, he would be surrounded by them, which would be a loss not worth the risk!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Lin Yun thought this, he continued to fly rapidly forward.
The 50th floor of the Heavenly Principle Tower exerted great pressure on him, preventing him from using teleportation, but his flying speed was extremely fast, almost akin to teleportation. The Ghost Practitioners were similarly fast, and as they chased and fled, they created trails of afterimages in the sky.
Finally, after a few minutes, he had once again widened the distance between himself and the Ghost Practitioners.
"Kill!"
At that moment, Lin Yun locked onto another Ghost Practitioner and swiftly flashed towards him.
"Boom!"
Similarly, with just one sword strike, in just an instant, Lin Yun shattered all the defenses of the Ghost Practitioner and exploded his body... then came a rapid succession of sword slashes.
Because this Ghost Practitioner had pursued too closely, even the nearest of the others were still at a distance; Lin Yun did not need to use other means to stop the other Ghost Practitioners.
Lin Yun's attack speed was very fast, and in but a moment, he exploded the body of the Ghost Practitioner dozens of times.
During this time, the nearest Ghost Practitioners were not far away, but seeing the pitiful state of their peer, they all hesitated with increased suspicion and dared not approach for a while.
"Indeed, they are nothing but a disorganized mob!"
Lin Yun glanced coldly at the two Ghost Practitioners nearby and sneered.
Initially, he had planned to use some methods to block the two approaching Ghost Practitioners, but now it seemed unnecessary, sparing him several of his trump cards.
"No! I don't want to die again! Save me... save me..."
The Ghost Practitioner that Lin Yun had rapidly slain kept screaming, the voice growing fainter.
At this moment, he regretted being too far forward in the chase, and regretted even more that he had initially pursued this human powerhouse. Now, the human he was chasing had turned the tables, and it was he who was about to fall.
"Bang—"
Finally, after one more sword slash from Lin Yun, the Ghost Practitioner was completely killed.
Another Ghost Practitioner fell.
Lin Yun raised his hand and grabbed another gray Crystal that had come into his possession.
The next moment, Lin Yun turned and fled once more.
"Fierce Ghost is also dead..."
"You two, why didn't you save Fierce Ghost just now?"
"Yeah, why didn't you save him?"
"How do we save them? That human strongman is so formidable, the Fierce Ghost was quickly gravely wounded by him. If we step forward, we will die, too. We don't want to die!"
The Ghost Practitioners behind were somewhat shocked, some blaming the two who had been closest to the Fierce Ghost; those two also expressed their angry dissatisfaction, and soon, internal strife broke out among them.
"A disorganized mob! Truly, nothing more than a disorganized mob!"
Ahead, Lin Yun sensed this scene and couldn't help but shake his head.
Indeed... once the "numbers" increase, an excellent leader becomes extremely important. These Ghost Practitioners lacked a leader, not to mention an excellent one.
A group without a leader, once affected by negative emotions, ends up even worse off.
At this moment, Lin Yun completely dismissed any concern for this group of Ghost Practitioners.
As those Ghost Practitioners behind him started to "riot", far fewer of them chased after Lin Yun, and the distance between them and Lin Yun grew increasingly larger.
Lin Yun thought for a moment and soon slowed down a bit, lest he get too far away from these Ghost Practitioners and they give up chasing him, or worse, only one or two kept pursuing him...
His current goal was no longer one or two Ghost Practitioners. How could he allow these Ghost Practitioners to scatter and leave?
What if these Ghost Practitioners went back and summoned more of their kind, or their leader came over? That would increase the unpredictability!
Better to drag these Ghost Practitioners here and eliminate a few first!
Now, his Mental Strength level was almost reaching the limit of the twelve-grade Peak... He had a feeling that after absorbing one or two more grey Crystals, he should be able to reach the level of the Half Step Super Realm!
By then, his combat power should rise to another level!
"Boom— Boom boom—"
While running forward, Lin Yun's Mental Strength rapidly advanced within the space of his mind, approaching the limit of the twelve-grade Peak ever closer.
"Half Step Super Realm is when one's power reaches a limit and resonates with some type of law's power among heaven and earth, becoming tinged with the aura of that law's power, containing a hint of incomplete law's power. My Martial Arts Realm has already risen to the Half Step Super Realm. Mental Strength... is close... very close..." Lin Yun thought to himself.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, Lin Yun, who was in full flight, turned around and quickly charged at two Ghost Practitioners, while shouting loudly.
Yes, this time, Lin Yun didn't go after just one Ghost Practitioner, but aimed for two.
At that moment, these two Ghost Practitioners were neck and neck; no matter whom Lin Yun attacked, the other could attack him at any time. Perhaps it was this confidence that led them to persistently chase after Lin Yun without worry.
It must be known, that the other Ghost Practitioners were now far behind them.
Lin Yun decided not to target just one of them but attacked both at the same time.
"Boom— Boom boom—"
At the same time, Lin Yun rapidly unleashed numerous ace attacks toward the two Ghost Practitioners.
"Not good!"
"This human actually dares to attack us!"
"Quick! Defend!"
Seeing Lin Yun suddenly turn around to attack them, the Ghost Practitioners were taken aback and they all cried out in shock.
They seemed not to have anticipated that the human strongman would dare attack them both together.
"Boom! Boom!"
They each quickly deployed their defensive measures and launched attacks toward Lin Yun in return.
"Whir—"
However, Lin Yun's Bloodthirsty Sword in hand released a dazzling light, and with a downward slash, most of the attacks were scattered by the Bloodthirsty Sword, with the rest blocked by Lin Yun's various ace counters. Finally, Lin Yun's sword struck one of the Ghost Practitioners.
"Bang!"
As expected, that Ghost Practitioner was also dispersed by the Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun's hand.
"Boom—"
Just then, the other Ghost Practitioner, in chaos due to the array of Lin Yun's ace attacks, had its layers of defense broken through. After Lin Yun exploded that Ghost Practitioner, he swept towards this one, its body also shattering.
"Whir— Bang— Bang— Bang—"
Subsequently, Lin Yun swiftly swung the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand, continuously shattering the bodies of the two Ghost Practitioners as they kept reforming.
