The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 45 I went up with a sliding tackle

Watching the various demon creatures approach beyond the front lines, Lin Yun suddenly felt that this was a pill too hard to swallow.

When they arrived at the secret passage entrance, they thought salvation lay before their eyes. Little did they expect Dongfang Hongyue would fail them at this critical moment.

The inability to open the entrance to the secret passage was the true face of despair.

Moreover, at this time, the Abyssal Demon Creatures also began to swarm around them.

Initially, within Yellow Wind Valley, they only needed to defend one entrance, but now they were besieged on all sides.

Hongling, acting decisively, took the lead and instructed the Guard Brigade to set up a Formation, protecting most of the people with low cultivation levels. A massive Fire Barrier enshrouded everyone within a protective circle.

But the Abyssal Demon Creatures feared not death, driven only by a desire to kill, they rushed towards the barrier like moths to a flame.

Hongling clenched her teeth tight; with every collision from the demon creatures, her body shook uncontrollably.

If this were to continue, she wouldn’t last much longer and would have to let some of these monstrosities in.

Without time to explain, Hongling weakened the Formation’s power, allowing her to last a bit longer. Whereas previously, all demon creatures that forcefully breached the Formation would die within it, the situation had now changed to them breaking through wounded.

It was now up to the Guard Brigade to deal with them.

Those with higher cultivation levels voluntarily stepped forward to lend a hand. Even though the situation remained tense, it was barely maintainable for the moment.

Lin Yun joined the ranks of those cutting down the monsters. The Ascending Dragon Sword in his hand was incredibly sharp, decapitating a demon creature with a single swing.

These Abyssal Demon Creatures were unique. Upon death, they turned into black mist, returning to the darkness, and not even the wall of fire could stop this mist from returning.

This made Lin Yun feel as if he were grinding low-level monsters in a game; slain creatures would instantly respawn, and there seemed to be an endless stream of new ones appearing.

Ah, it felt like waves of monsters were besieging a city.

"Stick close to me once the Formation breaks. I’ll do everything I can to protect you," Wang Wanqiu said while slashing at the demon creatures and taking the opportunity to move closer to Lin Yun.

Clearly, she now considered Lin Yun one of her own, intent on taking him with her should danger arise.

Yet in her heart, the greater good still outweighed life. When a moment came that required Lin Yun’s sacrifice, she didn’t hesitate, but when there was a chance to save him, she would do her utmost.

Those words improved Lin Yun’s impression of her a bit, after all, he didn’t have a very favorable view of the Sword Sect.

Wang Wanqiu had already asked for his sacrifice twice, but now it seemed...

Wang Wanqiu was indeed human!

Wang Wanqiu: ?

Everyone knew Hongling wouldn’t last much longer. Maintaining the Formation was draining her spiritual power and Divine Sense. Once she was completely drained, if these demon creatures broke through, everyone’s survival was in their own hands.

However, the situation was far worse than they had imagined. Suddenly, a tiger’s roar was heard, and a large white-foreheaded tiger with droopy eyes burst through the fire wall. Not only that, but the light of the flames also dimmed significantly.

This demon creature was at the Divine Cultivation Realm!

Hongling spat out a mouthful of blood, yet still maintained the Formation. Soon, the fire wall was restored to its initial state, but this giant tiger had already caused severe casualties among the Guard Brigade.

A tiger’s roar alone could dazzle and confuse people, and with a single swipe of its paw, it released several razor-sharp energies.

This was truly a tiger that knew spells. Nobody could withstand it.

This Demon Tiger at the Divine Cultivation Stage was equivalent to a lesser boss.

Within the Yellow Wind Valley Guard Brigade, there were less than ten people at the Divine Cultivation Realm. To defeat this Demon Tiger, at least five cultivators were needed.

They all felt the difficulty of the task.

If they directed their full strength to tackle the Demon Tiger, what would happen with the other demon creatures?

Whatever they feared would come to pass. The repeated scenario unfolded as another Divine Cultivation Realm demon creature broke through the defenses, this time a three-headed hellhound that was as large as the tiger.

Done for. With two of them, it was perilous!

Hongling also knew the situation was grim and bolstered the defenses once more. She couldn’t let any more demon creatures in, but maintaining this state would significantly reduce the time she could last.

Lin Yun was also unlucky. The Demon Tiger had slain those closest to it and fixed its gaze on Yun.

Lin Yun’s scalp tingled suddenly.

Before, he had only fought demon creatures from the Mortal Transcendence Realm and below, slashing through them effortlessly as if he had activated a peerless power.

But now, being targeted by this old tiger, he felt as if the word "danger" was written on his forehead.

At this moment, no one could save him.

What do you do when you encounter a tiger in the wild?

A strange piece of knowledge suddenly popped into Lin Yun’s mind.

Now that he was facing a tiger, he should be able to kill it, but this was a Demon Tiger.

The Demon Tiger seemed to find Lin Yun to be an attractive prey, and it dashed straight toward him.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yun slid in with a slide tackle, slipping underneath the Demon Tiger, while his Ascending Dragon Sword, unrivaled in sharpness, instantly slit open the tiger’s belly. Not only that, but as he drew his sword, he also set a small fire inside the tiger’s stomach.

Wang Wanqiu, who was preparing to come to Lin Yun’s aid, was also stunned.

"So there really is this extraordinary move of slide tackling, brilliant!"

With a great roar, the Demon Tiger died on the spot.

Even Lin Yun was shocked. Huh, that’s it?

Although it was standard practice for him to challenge foes beyond his level, wasn’t the big tiger ferocious upon its entrance? Yet it was defeated just like that?

The slide tackle was awesome!

Lin Yun was well aware that the lethal blow wasn’t the one to the belly, but the small fireball he had shot out.

What surprised Lin Yun even more was that after the Demon Tiger died, only a wisp of black fog dissipated, and at the same time, Lin Yun felt his Fire Seed grow a bit stronger.

Ah, what’s this...

The classic leveling up from monster fighting had returned?

Lin Yun suddenly felt like he had missed out on a fortune.

He had slain so many minor demons before, and not once did he use fire because using his sword was faster.

Rounded up, that’s like missing out on a fortune.

However, the losses were in the past, and from now on, he wouldn’t waste any more.

Seeing Lin Yun effortlessly take down the Demon Tiger, Hongling breathed a sigh of relief. The situation seemed a little more optimistic. The three demon hounds were quickly killed, and Hongling also reduced the intensity of the Formation appropriately.

More demon creatures came in and out, and this time, Lin Yun took the lead, attacking wherever the black fog appeared, sneaking in a small fireball when a monster was close to dying. No one noticed he was sniping the kills.

Even if others realized that monsters burned to death wouldn’t turn into black fog, there wouldn’t be anything strange about it; maybe that fog could be flammable, right?

After half an hour passed, Lin Yun noticed a trend in his Fire Seed, as though it was about to grow another petal, but it was just a tendency. He wasn’t clear on how many more monsters he would have to defeat to reach the God level.

In any case, keep grinding!

Just consider it leveling up.

But at this moment, Hongling could no longer keep up.

She began to secretly send messages to Lin Yun.

If she could protect everyone, she certainly would, but if she couldn’t, she had to ensure Lin Yun’s safety at all costs.

"Lin Yun, my True Qi is about to run out, and I can’t maintain the Formation any longer. You should use your Escape Technique and head back to the valley soon!"

In the small cabin at the center of Holy Spring Lake, which looked unremarkable, a defensive Formation prepared by Dongfang Hongyue was set up to protect a person.

This was the self-protection method left to Hongling by Dongfang Hongyue, and Hongling planned to give it to Lin Yun.

However, just as she was about to explain how to activate the Formation, Lin Yun flashed in front of her and kissed her.

Out of Spiritual Power?

You could have just said you needed a magic recharge!
