Chapter 1038 - Arrival Of A Storm
The Sovereign's Ascension
When Lin Yun saw the words written in blood, his face sank, âWhose blood is that?â
âHehe, why donât you guess?â He Qianfan laughed eerily before he raised his voice, âHalf a month from now, the Nether Divinity, Elysium Trigram, and Profound Dragon Realm Sons will host the Demon Slaughtering Assembly in the Wind Mound City! Everyone is welcome to watch, hahaha!â
âDemon Slaughtering Assembly? Whatâs that?â Everyone began to discuss among themselves because it seemed like the Realm Sons were planning to kill someone.
âLin Yun, you have to come or else you wonât be able to see your lover for the last time!â He Qianfan revealed a mocking smile. So what if Lin Yun defeated him? Lin Yun still had to obediently head over to Wind Mound City. The Demon Slaughtering Assembly was a trap that the Realm Sons set up for Lin Yun and there was nothing he could do about it.
âWhose blood is this?!â Lin Yun raised his head as killing intent leaked out of his pupils.
âWhy donât you guess?â provoked He Qianfan.
It was rare for Lin Yun to have any fluctuation in his emotions, but he couldnât keep his composure at this moment. His face was twitching and his hand was trembling uncontrollably as he was losing control of his killing intent.
âYouâre angry?â He Qianfan grinned, âI know that youâre furious, but this is Four Phase City. Thereâs nothing you can do even if youâre angry. Hehehe, come and kill me if you dare!â
He Qianfan struggled to his feet as he slowly retreated to the border of the plaza with a smile. âLin Yun, canât you guess whose blood it is? Prove that youâre a man! Kill me!â
As long as he took another step, he would be out of the plaza and Lin Yun wouldnât be able to touch him anymore. After all, it would be a violation of the rules of Four Phase City. Anyone who violated the rules would lose the qualification to make it into the final battle and they might even be imprisoned.
Seeing how disgusting He Qianfan was, everyone in the plaza had disdain in their eyes. If they were in Lin Yunâs position, they would probably throw up blood in anger.
âPig! Donât fall for it!â Pei Xueâs face was filled with concern and she yelled despite her injuries.
The boundless killing aura from Lin Yun made the temperature in the plaza plummet. However, Lin Yun didnât make a move, which relieved the crowd.
Unfortunately for Lin Yun, he couldnât vent his anger. It was a terrible feeling because He Qianfan was clearly weaker than him.
The sinister smile gradually disappeared from He Qianfanâs face when Lin Yun didnât fall for his provocation. âYou really are a piece of trash. I thought you only needed one sword to kill someone? What utter bullshit. You canât even do anything to me right now!â
His face was cold as he was done playing around with Lin Yun. There was nothing he could do other than wait for half a month. At that time, Lin Yun would get killed by the Realm Sons. Although he didnât show it on the surface, Lin Yun calling him a dog was like a dagger to the heart.
âLin Yun, Iâll be waiting for you at Wind Mound City. Itâll be boring if you donât show up.â He Qianfan laughed before he turned around to leave.
âWho permitted you to leave?â Lin Yun turned around and looked at He Qianfan while playing with the invitation in his hand. His words stunned He Qianfan before making the latter laugh. Just as He Qianfan was about to turn around, an eerie light flew over and stabbed his throat.
As blood began to flow down from his throat, He Qianfanâs vitality slowly slipped away. The invitation that was in Lin Yunâs hands was now in his throat. This made He Qianfanâs face twitch as his eyes bulged with disbelief. He couldnât believe that Lin Yun actually dared to make a move against him.
The spectators were also looking at the invitation deeply plunged in He Qianfanâs throat. He was still alive, but no one could tell how long he would be alive for. He Qianfan held onto the invitation with fear in his eyes as he tried to pull it out.
âDonâtâ¦â Lin Yun advised. âDonât move. Iâve empowered the invitation with my sky sword intent, so youâll be decapitated the moment you pull it out. Well, I guess someone whoâs merely ranked ninth on the purple ranking doesnât know how profound the sky sword intent is. But I advise you to trust me.â
He Qianfanâs face changed when he heard what Lin Yun said and no longer dared to move. He looked at Lin Yun gradually approaching him with narrowed eyes.
Lin Yun started tidying He Qianfanâs clothes before patting his face, âWhat a handsome face. Itâs such a shame that youâve become a dog. You want to head to Kunlun Realm? Iâm sorry but you wonât be going anywhere. But it wonât matter because no one will care what happens to a dog.â
He Qianfanâs body began to tremble as he fell to his knees. He didnât dare to utter a word and could only transmit his voice through origin energy, âLin Yun, spare me. Please, donât kill me.â
âThis is Four Phase City, so how can I possibly kill you? This is just a friendly spar. But you better stay alive or else Iâll be in trouble,â said Lin Yun indifferently.
Anyone could spar in the plaza as long as no lives were taken. Technically, Lin Yun wasnât in violation of any rules as long as He Qianfan was alive. And by the time that He Qianfan died, the Heavenly Path would be over.
When everyone recovered from their shock, they looked at Lin Yun with a renewed sense of terror.
âAre you furious? Calm down, getting angry will only speed up your blood flow. If that happens, youâll die even faster. I know that youâre furious, but you better suck it up. Who knows, someone might save you in half a month if I die at Wind Mound City,â continued Lin Yun.
âLin Yun, no, Grandpa Lin!â He Qianfan had fallen into despair at this moment. âGrandpa Lin, youâre my grandpa! Please, spare me!â
âI donât have an unfilial grandson like you.â Lin Yun patted He Qianfan on the head. Lin Yunâs palm was dangerous as it shattered He Qianfanâs skull. In doing so, Lin Yun sealed He Qianfanâs aura oceans, which slowed the flow of the latterâs origin energy and vitality.
âCarry on kneeling then,â said Lin Yun. âIâm sorry that everyone has to look at this foolish grandson of mine. But if anyone dares to save him, theyâll have to face my sword!â
With a wave of his hand, Lin Yun summoned his sword and boundless sword intent soared into the sky. When he swung his sword down, the light in heaven and earth became dim. At the same time, the water in the lake was split in half.
âSky sword intent!â Everyone was left dumbfounded by this scene. They had heard many rumors about Lin Yun being an unrivaled talent in the way of the sword.
Today, they had finally witnessed Lin Yunâs talent. His sword was simply beyond their imagination and no one below the gold ranking dared to face the sword head-on.
The crowd knew that He Qianfan was beyond saving. Furthermore, no one dared to stand against Lin Yun after sensing the power of his sword. Lastly, He Qianfan was a dog that no one would take pity on him.
Lin Yun slowly sheathed his sword before turning to look at He Qianfanâs lackeys. They were scared out of their wits as they crawled away from the plaza. But when they sensed Lin Yunâs gaze, they instantly froze.
âTell the Realm Sons that weâll continue playing in half a month,â said Lin Yun. âBut before that, if they dared to touch even a strand of Yue Weiweiâs hair, I swear that Iâll slaughter their realms. They can test me if they dare!â
His voice rumbled like lightning and no one dared to doubt his words. They knew that there would be a storm in Wind Mound City half a month from now that would shake the Heavenly Path.
