Chapter 485: When Soft Tactics Fail, Try Hard; When Hard Tactics Still Fail

“You…”

Sikong Jing hit a soft nail and was left speechless, having been rebuffed.

He naturally knew about the Luo family's affairs, but he had selectively chosen not to mention them.

Now that he was in a disadvantageous position, he had to swallow his anger.

Luo Qingcheng ignored Sikong Jing’s man-eating gaze and looked at Lin Yu again, his tone still calm: “Lin Xiaoyou, how have you considered it? As long as you hand Shen Yixue over to my Luo family, you can name your conditions.”

His attitude was already good enough.

If Lin Yu was sensible, he should know what to do.

He was currently at his peak, and if he wasn't worried that Lin Yu still had some desperate means, he wouldn't have offered such a chance for negotiation.

Lin Yu heard this, and the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile: “Since Senior Luo is so sincere, why don’t you help me with something first?”

“Oh?”

“What is it?”

Luo Qingcheng’s eyes lit up, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Since they were talking about conditions, it meant Lin Yu had softened, and Shen Yixue should be secured!

However.

Lin Yu raised his hand and pointed at Sikong Jing, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: “Kill him, and then we can talk.”

“You—Lin Yu, you’re courting death!”

Before Luo Qingcheng could react, Sikong Jing instantly flew into a rage.

He never expected that Lin Yu would still want to kill him at this point.

He wanted to strike, but he was at the end of his tether, so he could only glare at Lin Yu.

Luo Qingcheng, upon hearing this, frowned.

He naturally heard the perfunctory meaning in Lin Yu’s words, but he still patiently said:

“Lin Xiaoyou, Brother Sikong is, after all, a member of the Ye family. Killing him would not benefit either of us. How about we change the condition?”

“What, Senior Luo doesn’t dare?”

Lin Yu chuckled softly.

A hint of coldness flashed in Luo Qingcheng’s eyes, and his tone gradually deepened: “Lin Xiaoyou, my Luo family has approached you with sincerity, yet you repeatedly tease me. Do you really think I don’t dare to act?”

Lin Yu shrugged, his smile undiminished: “If senior wants to act, feel free to try.”

“Good! Very good!”

Luo Qingcheng finally stopped concealing his intentions, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. “Since you refuse a toast and prefer a penalty, then don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Before his voice fell, a vast Immortal King’s might suddenly erupted from his body, and his divine sense spread out like a tide, instantly sealing off the void within a million-mile radius!

“Brat, now you can’t even escape if you want to!”

Luo Qingcheng sneered, reaching out to grab, and the void solidified, as if to completely imprison Lin Yu.

To prevent Lin Yu from a desperate counterattack, he didn't get too close; as long as he pinned him in the void, the rest would be easy.

If gentle persuasion didn't work, then only force could be used.

There was no way he would let Lin Yu go; if Lin Yu escaped, who knew when he would be found again.

However, Lin Yu seemed to have known that Luo Qingcheng was about to act.

He merely smiled faintly: “These meager tricks aren’t enough, you know?”

In the next instant, the sword light around him rapidly contracted, and the Immortal Sword Domain instantly condensed to its extreme, transforming into an incomparably sharp sword gleam that directly tore through Luo Qingcheng’s pressure seal!

“Hahaha, Senior Luo, we’ll meet again!”

Lin Yu’s loud laughter came from the void, and his figure suddenly blurred, merging with the surrounding space, disappearing without a trace in a flash!

From breaking free of the confinement to disappearing, it took less than a single breath.

It was so fast that people couldn't react at all.

“…”

Luo Qingcheng’s pupils constricted, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but not a single word came out.

He had anticipated Lin Yu’s desperate counterattack, but he had never expected Lin Yu to choose to break through his confinement.

The most crucial thing was that he had broken through so easily.

One must know that his previous confinement was at full power, and he had even sealed off the surrounding million-mile void under his divine soul.

The ironclad seal didn't even last for a breath.

“What kind of power is this exactly?”

Luo Qingcheng was inwardly shocked.

The moment Lin Yu’s Immortal Sword Domain broke through the confinement, he clearly sensed that incredible power impact.

Its intensity was ordinary, but its true power lay in its dimensional suppression.

His Immortal Path Power was suppressed at its very origin in front of it.

“Damn it!”

After the shock, he cursed, his eyes filled with annoyance.

He had thought that Lin Yu was exhausted after battling Sikong Jing for ten days, but he never expected that the other party still had such a trump card!

The unique nature of that power was one thing, but when he escaped at the end, if he hadn't misjudged, he also used a Space Great Dao technique.

Moreover, his mastery of the Space Great Dao was not low; it had reached a state of perfection.

Even he hadn't sensed which direction he had fled from.

“Heh heh, Luo Qingcheng, I told you to act earlier, but you didn’t listen. Now he’s escaped, and I wonder how you’ll find him again!”

Beside him, Sikong Jing, seeing Lin Yu escape, instead gloated.

He was already powerless to contend, and now seeing Luo Qingcheng also being played, his mind immediately found balance.

At least he had battled Lin Yu for ten days and nights, and he was defeated due to exhaustion.

Luo Qingcheng, on the other hand, was at his peak and let the person escape, losing face completely!

“Shut up. If you weren’t so useless, unable to even force out his trump card, how could I have been so careless!”

Luo Qingcheng coldly glanced at Sikong Jing.

He was already angry, and this guy was still fanning the flames.

And what he said was also true: watching their ten-day battle, he hadn't even discovered that Lin Yu actually possessed Space Great Dao techniques, which was simply outrageous!

Otherwise, he would have taken some targeted precautions no matter what.

“You—!”

Sikong Jing trembled with rage.

He was actually called useless?

Who dared to call him Sikong Jing useless? Could a useless person become a Domain Lord Level expert?

However, at this moment, he could only huff and puff.

Luo Qingcheng snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to him, his gaze fixed on the endless starry sky, muttering to himself: “Lin Yu… you can run, but you can’t hide forever. Let’s see how long you can evade me!”

A sinister look appeared in his eyes.

He couldn't find Lin Yu, but that didn't mean he had no other methods.

He had already thoroughly investigated Lin Yu’s background.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze back to Sikong Jing:

“Sikong Jing, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you still want to reclaim the Dual Cultivation Body of Myriad Laws, you and I must join forces and directly head to the Eternal Continent. I don’t believe he can just watch his sect be massacred!”

He had thought of a plan, but he still couldn't do it alone.

The next time they met, Lin Yu would definitely have recovered to his peak state, and he wasn't guaranteed to win.

Only by joining forces with Sikong Jing could they secure a victory.

“You… you actually… want to commit an act of the Demonic Cult?”

Sikong Jing’s eyes widened instantly upon hearing this.

He naturally understood what Luo Qingcheng was planning.

However, such an act of massacring a sect to threaten someone was something only demonic cultivators would do.

“Hmph, haven’t you heard that one must not be shackled by trifles to achieve great things?”

Luo Qingcheng snorted, “Besides, aren’t you also cooperating with the Demonic Cult now? Don’t pretend to be so noble with me!”
