Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

The sky grew darker, and the very earth trembled. Energies of all colors converged in the air as treasures continuously unleashed their terrifying power. If they had been somewhat prepared for all this before, now, after witnessing the true horror of this world, the expressions on every face had changed.

Lin Yun took it all in. The counter-attack from the orthodox sects was clearly far more ferocious than he had anticipated. Although their opponents were strong, these disciples had never given up.

The Crimson Ghost Sect, on the other hand, lacked many of their top experts in the main battle, which naturally caused them to lose their initial advantage. At first, they had been able to use their encirclement to trap Lin Yun's people. But now that the forces within were coordinating with the reinforcements from without, it was a different story.

Fang Zhou had noticed the problem at the first opportunity. He did not demand that his subordinates hold their ground. On the contrary, their lines were contracting. Everyone in the Crimson Ghost Sect knew the problem. Defeat was only a matter of time. As for what would happen next, no one could say for sure.

"The Crimson Ghost Sect may not be able to stop them, but there is still time," Zhao Teng thought, his eyes growing more vicious. "Once our plan succeeds, it will all have been worth it." He began to attack without any regard for the cost.

BOOM—

A massive fireball smashed down from the sky toward Lin Yun. He didn't dare to underestimate it. Dodging was clearly impossible. He thrust his Coldflame Sword upwards.

"Great River Sword Style!"

Endless spiritual energy rapidly condensed, and with a burst of Yuan Qi from within his body, it surged like a great river to meet the meteor above. With a violent roar, the massive rock shattered, scattering in all directions like a sky-fire meteor shower. The people on the ground fled in disarray, and Lin Yun, who was closest to the impact, was sent flying.

Seeing this, Zhao Teng smiled. Since this kid's movement technique was so good that he could dodge his attacks, he would simply abandon that method of fighting and switch to large-scale, area-of-effect attacks. This way, no matter how skilled Lin Yun was, he couldn't possibly escape. At this thought, Zhao Teng couldn't help but feel he was quite clever.

"You brat, if you keep fighting like this, you won't be able to hold out," the Chongqing Bird said with worry. "That guy's realm is higher than yours. He can use a technique like that many times, but you can't necessarily use your own powerful sword style as many times."

Just then, Ezu chimed in as well: "Brat, if you're willing to let me control this body, I guarantee I'll kill this idiot for you."

Let you control my body? Lin Yun sneered internally. He wasn't a fool. If he did that, he might as well just die here.

"Don't even think about it. This guy hasn't pushed me to my wit's end yet," Lin Yun snorted, his expression unchanged. His opponent was strong, yes. But defeating him now would not be so easy.

Zhao Teng believed his own ability was more than sufficient. He was using this high-consumption method to try and leave Lin Yun depleted for the rest of the battle. But Lin Yun had never intended to be locked in a stalemate with him for so long.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yun quickly created distance between them. Zhao Teng had no idea what he was planning to do.

"You are indeed strong," Lin Yun said with a smile, after pulling back to a safe distance. "But I never planned on defeating you in this battle. Our goals have always been different."

He then raised the God-Slaying Bow.

If Zhao Teng had been full of confidence before, the moment he saw the weapon in Lin Yun's hands, his face turned grim. This was not the first or second time this weapon had appeared; he had heard of its fearsome reputation long ago. The treasure itself was not that complicated. But what truly shocked them was its ability to grow stronger along with its user. Just think, even Jiang Qingshuang had been unable to withstand it. How could he possibly block it now?

Without a second thought, Zhao Teng charged toward Lin Yun.

But just then, Lin Yun had already bent his bow and nocked an arrow. The surrounding Yuan Qi was sucked in as if by a vortex, coalescing into a single arrow.

In the instant before Lin Yun could release the shot, a figure suddenly appeared.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

Zhou Damao had known all along that he would have to step forward today. As Lin Yun's senior brother, he absolutely could not turn a blind eye in this situation.

"Senior Brother Zhou." Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Teng, however, frowned. "Zhou Damao of the Beast Taming Sect?" He knew a fair bit about this person. Although his strength wasn't considered top-tier, he was a tough opponent if you got into a ruthless fight with him. What's more, there were several others with him.

"Your Excellency is very strong, but our Beast Taming Sect is not to be trifled with."

Before, Lin Yun had been fighting alone. But now, the situation was completely different. In a short while, several more disciples had surrounded Zhao Teng. Zhou Damao knew his own strength was not enough, but they had numbers on their side. No matter how powerful Zhao Teng was, faced with so many people, he would have to back down.

And things went just as he expected.

When Zhao Teng saw these people, his face grew even uglier. He hadn't expected the main battlefront to fail to hold them back, allowing them to come here as reinforcements.

"Senior Brother Zhou, this guy is extremely tenacious," Lin Yun said in a low voice from the side.

Zhou Damao just smiled. "Leave things here to us, Junior Brother Lin. I know you have more important things to do. You should go quickly."

He knew Lin Yun must have a more critical mission. His purpose in coming here was simply to buy Lin Yun more time. Whatever the Crimson Ghost Sect was planning, they absolutely could not let them succeed.

Lin Yun was deeply moved. But he understood that this was a critical moment; he didn't have time to explain everything. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."

Not daring to say more, Lin Yun turned and left.

"You brat, stop right there!" Zhao Teng roared.

He wanted to block Lin Yun, but he was intercepted by Zhou Damao's people.

"Don't even think about causing him trouble. Your opponents now are us," Zhou Damao said with a smile, having already summoned his own weapon.

The ones who came to the Spirit Realm this time were all the elites of the Beast Taming Sect. To protect Lin Yun, Jiang Zhengqing had sent all his best people.

"You lot who are courting death," Zhao Teng snarled. "Since you so genuinely wish to die, then today, I will grant you that opportunity."
