Chapter 524: Shadow Clan
"Brother Lin, watch out!"
Just then, a delicate cry came, and a white figure suddenly blocked Lin Yun's side.
"Splurt——"
At the same time, a black long sword pierced the white figure, impaling through it.
"Xiangsi!!!"
Not far away, a heartbreaking voice echoed.
"Xiangsi?"
Lin Yun turned, seeing the scene and was shocked.
Someone was actually trying to assassinate him?
And he didn't notice it?
Guan Xiangsi actually blocked the attack for him?
The next moment, Lin Yun looked up and saw the assassin, a figure somewhat illusory, completely covered in black.
"Shadow Clan?"
Lin Yun exclaimed in a low voice.
He had seen this kind of people in the race information of the Cosmic Trading System, an elusive race called the Shadow Clan, like shadows. The most crucial point was they could conceal their murderous aura very well, making them innate assassins.
"Boom——"
While speaking, he stepped forward and threw a punch at the opponent.
"I didn't succeed? Damn it!"
Failing to finish his target with one strike, the man from the Shadow Clan expressed a slight anger. As he retreated, he gave a slight shake to his sword, immediately worsening the wound on Guan Xiangsi.
"Splurt——"
Guan Xiangsi's body was pierced by the sword and her face was pale. Now, her face turned red as she spat out a long spurt of blood, her body flung away.
"You're asking for death!"
Having witnessed this, Lin Yun's face turned cold in an instant, his tone icy.
Before the attacker from the Shadow Clan could get far, Lin Yun struck him with a punch.
"How is this possible? You are clearly just a ninth-level initial stage, how can you be this powerful?" As Lin Yun's punch was about to hit him, shock was written all over the face of the man from the Shadow Clan.
"Splurt——"
The next moment, a cracking sound was heard from his body as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body was flung away.
Although he was actually not weak, he never expected Lin Yun to be this powerful. Without any precautions, he was severely injured by Lin Yun.

"Yang One, Yang Eleven, kill this man!"
Leaving behind this sentence, Lin Yun dashed towards Guan Xiangsi.
It was only a short while since Guan Xiangsi was injured.
In an instant, Lin Yun held her in his arms.
Half of her white clothes were stained with blood, and Guan Xiangsi's fragile body was hanging by a thread.
"Brother Lin..."
Seeing Lin Yun holding her, Guan Xiangsi managed a difficult smile.
"Don't speak, I'll save you right away," Lin Yun hastily said.
Phew——
As he spoke, Lin Yun waved his hand and released a medical device.
At the same time, he continued to feed precious Healing Pills to Guan Xiangsi.
"Sister!"
At this moment, a young man arrived in an instant. He was pained at seeing Guan Xiangsi so badly injured.
This young man was Guan Xiangsi's elder brother, Lin Yun's only disciple, Guan Jinshui.
"Xiangsi, are you alright?"
Lin Mengmeng was cultivating in another direction with the help of Ganlin. When she saw their battleship being attacked, she was shocked. Now, she arrived instantly and looked at Guan Xiangsi anxiously.
"This is not good..." At this moment, Lin Yun's face changed.
He sensed that inside Guan Xiangsi's body, a strange power had permeated her entire body.
This strange power was something that ordinary medical equipment could not treat. Even the pellets he had Guan Xiangsi take were hardly effective. Instead, some of the medicinal energy in the pellets clashed with the strange power inside Guan Xiangsi's body, intensifying her wounds.
"Splurt——"
As expected, Guan Xiangsi's body trembled slightly, and she coughed up more fresh blood. Her life signs were rapidly declining.
"Xiangsi, I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Lin Yun's face turned pale, full of regret.
Guan Xiangsi's life signs were faint and declining sharply. If this continued, her chance of survival was minimal.
"Hehe, the Shadow Clan, innate assassins. Can they be taken lightly? This girl is sure to die! I didn't expect the Shadow Clan to target Brother Lin, but good for you, Lin, someone took the hit on your behalf..." Just then, from not far away, a taunting voice rang again.
"Did you send that man from the Shadow Clan to assassinate me?" Lin Yun looked up sharply at the man who spoke, full of fury.
The man who spoke was Mingdu. He had already plucked the Heavenly-luck Flower, but in Lin Yun's eyes, the flower was nothing compared to the people around him.
Not to mention the Heavenly-luck Flower, even if it were something more precious, it wouldn't be as important as the people around him.
"You attacked our battleship first, then snatched the Heavenly-luck Flower to draw my attention, and then sent the Shadow Clan to assassinate me. You've played your cards well." Lin Yun said coldly.
"Brother Lin, you can't make such accusations lightly! We are people bound by rules. I admit, I did order the attack on that battleship, but I didn't know it was yours. It looked too much like an enemy's battleship. I thought it was theirs. It's your battleship?
I'm really sorry..." Mingdu feigned surprise.
"Boom——Boom——"
As he spoke, many battleships continued to attack Lin Yun and his group's battleship elsewhere.
"That's your battleship, you should have told me earlier. How would I know if it was yours if you didn't tell me? How could I order the attack to stop if you didn't tell me it was yours? It's impossible that you would tell me it's yours and I would still attack it. It's only because you didn't tell me it was yours that I ordered the attack on it..." Mingdu rambled on.
"Hehe." Lin Yun sneered coldly.
Mingdu's words seemed very polite, but they sounded grating to Lin Yun. Now, all he felt was regret for not cultivating in the Kodis Empire earlier, allowing Mingdu to take the lead.
Elsewhere, their battleship, fortified by the joining of Shengyi and Shenger and the combined power of nearly two hundred thousand subordinates, had much stronger defense than he expected. At least for the short term, it was safe.
Thus, he was not so urgent, so demeaning in requesting Mingdu to cease the attack.
"Brother Lin..." Mingdu was still rambling on when Guan Xiangsi spoke with difficulty.
"Xiangsi, I'm sorry, it's because of me..." Lin Yun looked at the frail girl in his arms, full of guilt.
"Brother Lin...Xiangsi...it's okay...you mustn't...blame yourself...this moment...is the happiest...for Xiangsi...I found...my beloved...and I can die...for him...I'm very...happy..." Guan Xiangsi's face turned pale, she looked weak but was smiling, as she comforted Lin Yun.
After hearing Guan Xiangsi's confession in the face of death, Lin Yun felt a shudder in his heart.
