Chapter 147
So under the same cultivation, they were much stronger. They have more resources and stronger martial techniques. There was a dramatic difference between a prestigious clan and ordinary cultivators.
The Blood Cloud Sect and Golden Flame Sect’s elders were also in the Quasi-Profound Martial Realm, but they could feel a gap between them and w.a.n.g Bo.
The aura permeated from w.a.n.g Bo felt like a tremendous mountain, unfathomable like the surging river. If they got close to him, they would be overwhelmed by his aura alone.
“d.a.m.n it…” Ming Hua bit his lips on the seventh lotus stage with hesitation. He wanted to help Lin Yun, but he was afraid of offending the Wan Clan.
But just when he finally made up his mind and wanted to get up, the grey-clothed elder beside him pressed him back down, “Don’t be reckless…”
Around the lotus stage occupied by the Sword Firmament Pavilion, a disciple asked, “Senior brother, has this person comprehended sword intent? If that’s the case, then he’s a talent, and we can consider saving him.”
The Sword Firmament Pavilion’s disciples all practiced swords. So they naturally had a good impression of Lin Yun. With the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s strength, they could save Lin Yun if they wanted as long as Bai Lixuan nodded his head.
“The Sword Firmament Pavilion won’t let him go if he comprehended the full sword intent. But it’s a pity… his sword intent is incomplete. He’s young, but he’s also arrogant.” Bai Lixuan replied indifferently. “These sorts of people are arrogant, not knowing where they stand. What’s the use of saving them? If they die one day because of their arrogance, it will lead to a waste of resources.”
His words were filled with contempt and disdain. In his eyes, Lin Yun was ignorant. But in reality, he had a high position in the Sword Firmament Pavilion, with resources and backing. So how could he understand the pain of someone insignificant?
If you don’t fight with your life on the ground, how would you be able to stand out? Lin Yun had no path of retreat today, and no one could get him off the lotus stage!
“Lin Yn, if you kneel, beg for mercy, and maintain my sword for me, my w.a.n.g Clan can consider letting you have that lotus stage!” w.a.n.g Ning sneered. He threw out a sword, which fell before Lin Yun.
Looking at this scene, the memories of everything that happened back in the Azure Sky Sect flashed in his mind. For a moment, he did not have any expression on his face.
“I still thought that Lin Yun was a man. I never expected that he would give in so easily.”
“How is he any different from a beggar? Someone threw a bone at him, and he immediately scrabbled to pick it up.”
“And he still insulted w.a.n.g Ning a moment ago.”
Disdain sounded out from the surrounding. When they looked at Lin Yun, there was a hint of disgust on their faces.
w.a.n.g Ning sneered inwardly when he saw this situation. Lin Yun was still the sword slave back then. Do you really think that I will let you off even if you beg me?
w.a.n.g Ning was pleased while looking at Lin Yun and smiled, “Lin Yun, why aren’t you maintaining my sword? Let everyone witness the demeanor of the once sword slave. I remember that you’re particularly skilled when it comes to maintaining swords…”
Lin Yun pulled out the sword and gently snapped it. In the next second, this Mid-Grade Profound Artifact broke into pieces and fell onto the ground.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Looking at the sword, Lin Yun grinned innocently, “Sure enough, this is a piece of garbage. Only garbage like you fits with this garbage sword. Junior brother truly feels embarra.s.sed about breaking your sword accidentally. Why don’t you give me another sword to try?”
Lin Yun’s smile was innocent, but he had slapped w.a.n.g Ning’s face with his words.
“My Autumn s.h.i.+ne Sword!” w.a.n.g Ning’s expression turned ugly. He was just laughing ago. This was a Mid-Grade Profound Artifact, forged by the best swordsmith in the w.a.n.g Clan. It was stronger than ordinary High-Grade Profound Artifacts. But Lin Yun broke his sword!
At this moment, everyone couldn’t help smiling when they saw this scene. So it turns out that Lin Yun wanted to mess with w.a.n.g Ning. Right from the start, he had no intention of giving in to w.a.n.g Ning.
“How stubborn. You must be courting death!” w.a.n.g Bo coldly snorted and unleashed his killing intent, causing a violent gale to rise in his surroundings.
His cold killing intent swept like a howling cold blizzard, and some spectators couldn’t open their eyes from the sting.
“Old foggy, come if you want to kill me. I, Lin Yun, am not afraid of you!” Lin Yun stared back at w.a.n.g Bo indifferently.
“Since you’re so talkative, then I’ll slap you!”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
w.a.n.g Bo disappeared from his position. He flickered through the distance with his hand raised against Lin Yun’s face. His mobility was unpredictable, combined with his cultivation. When he raised his hand, it caused a burst of exclamation from the surrounding. If this slap were to hit, Lin Yun’s teeth would definitely break.
“You came at the right time!” Lin Yun flipped his hands, retrieving the token out calmly. As his iris spiritual energy coursed through his body, he poured them into the token. In the next second, dazzling dark rays shot out from the token along with a terrifying sword aura that made everyone feel terrified.
“What is that?”
“What strong sword aura… not even Quasi-Profound Martial Realm is so terrifying, right?”
“What the h.e.l.l?!”
Boom!
The dark rays converged into a shadowy grey-clothed figure. That figure permeated an aura of profound ancientness. He had a sword box on his back, and when he appeared from the dark rays, everyone looked at him with shock in their eyes.
“This is…?” w.a.n.g Bo paused in midair, looking at that grey-clothed figure with a trace of fear in his eyes.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
While w.a.n.g Bo was feeling doubtful, the grey-clothed figure slashed his sword down. In the blink of an eye, three terrifying sword rays descended swiftly. w.a.n.g Bo’s face changed, and dodged the two swords before facing the last with his palm.
Boom!
The last sword exploded, w.a.n.g Bo was blasted out and fell back in the w.a.n.g Clan’s party.
“This is an intent from an ancient powerhouse!”
“Lin Yun really has a Cosmic Treasure with him!”
Everyone was shocked to see how the grey-clothed figure blasted w.a.n.g Bo with three swords. However, Lin Yun wore a grave expression. He did not dare to let his guards down. The Golden Flame Sect’s elder was heavily injured from the three swords, but w.a.n.g Bo did not suffer any grave injuries.
“Cultivators of the w.a.n.g Clan, obey my orders! Attack!” w.a.n.g Bo roared when he saw the grey-clothed figure charging at him.
In the next second, w.a.n.g Clan’s cultivators all made their moves at the same time, unleas.h.i.+ng their attacks at the grey-clothed figure. However, the grey-clothed figure continued to walk and swing his sword.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With every sword, a cultivator from the w.a.n.g Clan would be heavily injured. All the attacks directed at him crumbled before his sword. No one could sword him from swinging his sword.
The grey-clothed figure seemed invincible, and everyone was dumbfounded watching him. With a sword in his hand, that grey-clothed figure swept through all the obstacles before him!
It didn’t take long for the w.a.n.g Clan’s cultivators to be filled with bloodcurdling wails while they laid on the ground. The grey-clothed figure’s power was beyond everyone’s comprehension.
“H-how…” The smile on w.a.n.g Ning’s face was replaced with despair. He was dumbfounded by this scene unfolding before him. w.a.n.g Bo unleashed a strong attack in the critical moment, stopping the grey-clothed figure’s ferocious advance.
“Good chance!” When the Blood Cloud Sect’s elder saw this scene, his eyes lit up. He wielded a crimson ruler and charged at Lin Yun. Lin Yun could sense the killing intent when that elder moved. He turned around and glared at the Blood Cloud Sect’s elder.
Whoos.h.!.+
When the two of them looked at each other, the Blood Cloud Sect’s elder was stunned. Thinking about the losses he suffered in Lin Yun’s hands, the movements of the Blood Cloud Sect’s elder paused briefly.
However, that brief pause allowed the grey-clothed figure to break free from his battle with w.a.n.g Bo. Turning back around, the grey-clothed figure swung out his sword at the Blood Cloud Sect’s elder without any leniency. It was like a thundering roar that echoed through the horizon.
The Blood Cloud Sect’s elder had fear in his eyes and retreated. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to block this sword. But it was too late. The sword fell on his body and blasted him out.
Boom!
Fresh blood splattered, and this Quasi-Profound Martial Realm expert could no longer get up on his feet. Lin Yun turned around and looked at the Blood Cloud Sect’s party coldly.
“Run!” Xue Tu’s face turned pale with fright. He picked up the Blood Cloud Sect’s elder and dashed away, disregarding the lotus seat he occupied. He was afraid that Lin Yun would kill everyone from the Blood Cloud Sect in a rage.
Lin Yun had scared off an overlord force of the Azure Sun County, the Blood Cloud Sect with just a glance. The Blood Cloud Sect even went as far as abandoning the lotus seat that they occupied.
The hazy figure that stood beside Lin Yun looked unfathomable. The cultivators from the w.a.n.g Clan were all catching their breath with a relaxed expression. They were obviously terrified a moment ago.
“Who else is not convinced?” Lin Yun asked once more. But this time, no one dared to sound their objection.
“Uncle Bo…” w.a.n.g Ning gnashed his teeth with reluctance.
“Endure it for now. I’m injured, and he might see through my state if you provoke him any further… it’s unwise.” w.a.n.g Bo whispered, signaling everyone from the w.a.n.g Clan to retreat.
w.a.n.g Ning was terrified with his mouth open. He was utterly speechless. For a brief moment, everyone from the w.a.n.g Clan looked at Lin Yun with fear in their eyes.
