Chapter 285: Come, I’ll Help You
The crowd watching from the sidelines was taken aback when they saw Lin Fengmian take the pill, and many couldn’t help but feel regret.
Zuo Yueting had given him that pill hoping to let Lin Fengmian know that she had a way to provide him with medicinal support, advising him not to act rashly and leave the city. The pill was meant as a last resort in case he was in danger, allowing him to break through when necessary to save his life.
But instead, he had taken it immediately!
At the city gate, Jun Fengya’s face was filled with fear. “Young Master Ye, don’t act impulsively. Don’t ruin your future.”
“Sister, please try to talk some sense into him!”
She hadn’t expected Ye Xuefeng to be so proud and stubborn. Even if it meant ruining his future, he wouldn’t bow down to her, which caught her off guard.
Since they were still inside the city, she couldn’t stop him from breaking through, so she could only watch as he did it.
On the other hand, Jun Yunshang was so worried that she was nearly in tears. However, she was pushed back by the powerful aura emanating from Lin Fengmian.
She had never imagined that Lin Fengmian’s so-called breakthrough method would be to consume the pill and try to break through.
“Young Master Ye, you don’t have to go that far for me. I won’t go to Junlin City. I won’t fight for the throne anymore.”
Lin Fengmian smiled slightly. “I’m always one to finish what I start, I don’t like to give up halfway. Besides, I have my own reasons for going to Junlin, it’s not all for you.”
Jun Yunshang was desperate. “Young Master Ye, stop! There’s no need to hurry, you can go later!”
“No, I’m in a hurry! Trust me!” Lin Fengmian said, his voice firm.
He stopped speaking, and his body emitted strange waves as his aura surged rapidly.
At the same time, he followed Luo Xue’s advice and unleashed the heavenly thunder within Luo Xue’s bloodline, summoning a thunderstorm to descend.
Jun Yunshang bit her lip and her eyes filled with tears, deeply moved by his actions.
Young Master Ye must have said that to ease her guilt, to make her feel less responsible.
It was all her fault for losing the top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill.
Jun Yunshang, what right do you have to be treated like this by Young Master Ye?
The cultivators under Jun Fengya breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Fengmian ate the pill and successfully broke through, he would be finished!
No matter how talented he was, it would only be for a fleeting moment.
With a loud thunderclap, everyone gasped, “The heavenly tribulation has arrived!”
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the crowd sighed with regret.
“Sigh, such a genius has ruined his future. It’s heartbreaking!”
“Heh, how foolish. Did he really think that a low-quality breakthrough could get him out of this encirclement?”
“This is probably something a mid-level cultivator would do, a genius would fall here.”
…
Everyone thought that it was inevitable that Lin Fengmian’s breakthrough would attract heavenly thunder.
After all, he had killed two Unity Realm experts in the past month and had a vacant Honored Position. His actions had already attracted the attention of powerful figures.
As for Lin Fengmian’s earlier Soul Severing Realm breakthrough without needing an Honored Position, many dismissed it as a fluke.
No one knew if he had secretly killed Soul Severing Realm experts before, as only Soul Severing Realm experts could defeat Unity Realm ones. Lin Fengmian was considered to be a monster in his own right.
Lin Fengmian took hold of Jun Yunshang’s waist, his gaze cold and filled with killing intent.
“Today, I’m going to take you out of here. Let’s see who dares to stop me. Who can stop me!”
He couldn’t afford to leave Jun Yunshang in the city. Even though this was a so-called truce city, with a single assassin, her life could be taken without much effort.
Other royal heirs could at least resist a little, but Jun Yunshang, a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Realm, was a sitting duck. It wouldn’t take much effort to capture her.
Jun Yunshang looked up at the thunder clouds, her face was grave, but she didn’t speak. She just held onto Lin Fengmian.
Although her strength wouldn’t increase the power of Lin Fengmian’s heavenly tribulation, being near a strong cultivator’s tribulation was dangerous for her too.
Seeing Lin Fengmian’s confidence, Jun Yunshang couldn’t help but feel reassured. Since Young Master Ye had faith in himself, she had faith in him too.
Lin Fengmian chuckled lightly and said to Luo Xue, “Alright, the rest is up to you. Try to make it look a bit more dramatic.”
He could summon the heavenly tribulation, but he wasn’t capable of mimicking it. Only someone at the peak of the Void Realm like Luo Xue had the fine control needed for such a task.
Luo Xue nodded, even though she looked a bit helpless. “I’ll try.”
She didn’t understand how to make it convincing, so she decided to keep her words to a minimum.
Lin Fengmian relaxed, leaving his body in Luo Xue’s control while he became an observer.
Luo Xue took over and sent out a strange wave of energy that quickly drew the heavenly thunder closer, creating a tense atmosphere in the air.
“He’s really breaking through.”
“Sigh, what a waste of talent…”
…
Luo Xue, who was holding Jun Yunshang, watched the descending thunder, but she wasn’t worried at all. With a light tap of her toe, she turned into a streak of light and shot out.
“Ugh, at a time like this, I should at least say some dramatic lines,” Lin Fengmian muttered in exasperation.
“I can’t say such embarrassing things…” Luo Xue replied honestly.
“Just say something like, ‘Do you know how you’re going to die? That works fine!” Lin Fengmian replied in obvious frustration.
Seeing no way around it, Luo Xue reluctantly said, “If you don’t want to die, get out of the way!”
The crowd was stunned. No one expected her to be so reckless, flying out of the city instead of staying put to face the tribulation.
“What should we do?” someone panicked.
“Retreat, don’t worry about this madman!” Jun Fengya shouted urgently.
If they were caught up in this heavenly tribulation, the combined power of so many Unity Realm experts would likely result in certain death.
Jun Fengya, who had admired Lin Fengmian’s potential, had now shifted to seeing him as a madman. She couldn’t believe that someone would risk everything for a woman like Jun Yunshang.
Although his future seemed to be ruined, he still had the potential to become a Void Realm expert, so she couldn’t give up on him completely. However, she had no intention of giving him a top-grade Void Breaking Pill anymore-maybe just a middle-grade one.
Meanwhile, as the Unity Realm experts scrambled to escape, afraid of being caught in the so-called tribulation, Luo Xue couldn’t help but laugh. “Looks like the ‘Nine Pig Formation’ really disperses when it is charged.”
The Unity Realm cultivators were red with anger, but they were left speechless.
Zhong He cursed, “Kid, don’t get too cocky. When you cross the tribulation , I’ll teach you the meaning of respecting elders!”
Luo Xue’s expression turned cold as she blocked their retreat at the gates of Chongmeng City. She waved her hand and sneered, “Come at me, I’ll take you on with one hand.”
Enraged, Zhong He didn’t dare approach her, but glared at her fiercely, grinding his teeth in frustration.
“Just wait, I’ll kill you later!” he muttered under his breath.
Luo Xue snorted dismissively. “No need to wait. I’ll take care of you right now!”
Standing at the city gates, she manipulated Zhen Yuan, transforming it into a streak of light and chasing after Zhong He.
Zhong He fled in panic, only to realize that Zhen Yuan was closing in on him with every step.
“Master, I was only joking!” Zhong He pleaded.
Luo Xue laughed coldly. “Joking? I’m not in the mood for jokes.”
She continued to fake a tribulation breakthrough while controlling Zhen Yuan to chase after Zhong He.
Zhen Yuan transformed into a massive sword several meters long and slashed through the air, causing violent fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Seeing that Zhen Yuan was still some distance away, Zhong He thought that he could withstand the strike with his protective treasure. If he didn’t fight back, he might avoid attracting the wrath of the heavenly tribulation.
But he had overestimated himself and underestimated Luo Xue.
