Chapter 1011 - Who Is He?!
The Sovereign's Ascension
Iâm being suspected as well? Lin Yun was surprised. Then again, it might have something to do with the fact that he was wearing a hood over his head.
âYouâre courting death!â Seeing that Lin Yun was hesitating, Mo Xuanâs eyes flashed coldly. His patience was limited and in his eyes, those who hesitated upon being called were simply courting death.
âMo Xuan, donât push it. Heâs my friend.â Luo Chen roared, seeing the killing intent flashing in Mo Xuanâs pupils. When he spoke, he also unleashed his aura. A month had passed and Luo Chen was a lot stronger than when he faced Yu Haotian. After all, he was the head of the Azure Dragon Regionâs ranking and his name was on the ranking in the Heavenly Path.
Although there was a considerable gap between him and the Profound Lightning Twin Swords, he wasnât completely powerless against them. Plus, Qin Lin and Jun Mengchen also released their auras to show that they would advance and retreat with Luo Chen.
After all, if it wasnât for Lin Yun, they might have been killed by Yu Haotian. So there was no way they would stand by and do nothing.
Mo Xuanâs face sank when he saw the response of Luo Chenâs group. After all, this was the first time they met resistance after intimidating everyone. The killing intent started to grow in Mo Xuanâs eyes. Clearly, he had no intentions of letting this matter go.
As the atmosphere became tense, Han Lei stopped Mo Xuan, âLuo Chen, weâre not butchers and weâre not targeting your friend on purpose. Just have him come out. If heâs not the person weâre looking for, we naturally wonât make things difficult for him.â
Compared to Mo Xuan, Han Lei was calmer and more composed. As geniuses from war realms, they were a lot stronger than the majority of the realms. Their spiritual sword intent alone was enough to deal with most people, not to mention their lightning aura. Then again, they werenât invincible because there were troublesome people for them to deal with, such as Luo Chen.
Although Luo Chen couldnât pose a threat to them, he could still fight them. Chaos would ensue as long as Luo Chen was able to hold them off. At that time, the target they were looking for might take advantage of the chaos to escape.
âI already said that heâs a friend of mine and not the one youâre looking for.â Luo Chen was putting his foot down and wouldnât budge. After all, everyone knew that Lin Yun had a huge harvest. Although the young masters might not be interested in Lin Yun, the same couldnât be said for the Profound Lightning Twin Swords.
âWhat stubbornness!â Han Lei finally lost his temper. After all, he spoke politely to Luo Chen and even gave Luo Chen face. In Han Leiâs eyes, despite being on the ranking, Luo Chen was a troublesome ant.
But right at this moment, Lin Yun walked out of the crowd without saying a word. Luo Chen was shocked, so he called out to Lin Yun, âBrother Linâ¦â
Lin Yunâs footsteps paused briefly, but he didnât reply and continued to walk forward. He didnât want to cause any trouble, but that didnât mean that he was afraid of trouble. He didnât mind trouble even if it came from the so-called forbidden existences.
When Lin Yun stepped forward, Han Lei and Mo Xuanâs expressions loosened up before looking at the disguised Pei Xue, âDonât just stand there. Get out here!â
Pei Xue had already guessed Lin Yunâs identity, so she walked out as well. Not long after, hundreds of people were standing together. When the Profound Lightning Twin Swords stopped looking at the crowd, everyone felt relieved. After all, anything was acceptable as long as the crowd wasnât condemned.
âDidnât I say that Iâm not the person youâre looking for!â Among the hundreds of people who were called out, a youth with an irritable temper shouted. After all, he was a leader of a higher realm and he wasnât happy that he was called forward. Even then, there was nothing he could do but bear it inwardly.
âStrip,â said Han Lei coldly.
âWhat?â The youth was baffled.
âRemove your clothes.â Han Lei said again.
âYouâre insane!â The youth finally recovered from his shock and roared, âHow dare you!â
He was the leader of a higher realm and was used to being aloof in the Black Tortoise Region. So how could he possibly strip and humiliate himself with so many people watching?
âWhat games are you guys playing? Iâm not interested in playing with you guys anymore!â The youth snorted and decided to leave.
âWho permitted you to leave?â Han Lei wore a mocking smile.
âDonât push it!â The youthâs face sank when he saw that Han Lei didnât want to let him go.
âDie then.â Han Lei didnât waste any time and pointed his finger out, unleashing a bolt of lightning towards the youth.
But in that split second, the youth also pushed his origin energy to the limit and threw out several palms, âHeavenly Origin Palm!â
This was a profound palm technique, a monarch fortune martial technique that the youth had cultivated to a high level. After the brief clash, the youth was still standing. This alone had shocked many people because this was the first time Mo Xuan or Han Lei had failed to kill someone with a single attack.
âHmph!â The youth snorted coldly and continued, âI told you not to push it. The two of you might have huge fame, but Iâm not a pushover either. Others might be afraid of you guys, but not meâ¦â
But as he spoke, his face gradually became ugly while fear flashed in his eyes. He pointed at Han Lei and stammered, âY-y-youâ¦â
Just when everyone was feeling baffled, the youth took a step forward and charged towards Han Lei. However, as soon as he moved, his head burst apart. The crowd watched this in disbelief. After all, the youth named Zheng Rong was the leader of a higher realm with huge fame in the Black Tortoise Region.
Han Lei had no change on his face as he examined Zheng Rongâs corpse. âItâs not him.â
Tossing the corpse away, Zheng Rongâs corpse suddenly exploded. Looking at this scene, there was no change on Lin Yunâs face because it was the same as his Lightning Cocoon. If you couldnât figure out how it worked, there was nothing you could do even if you had high attainment in your cultivation technique.
By compressing sword aura as fine as a strand of hair, one could easily pierce through origin energy and enter the opponentâs body. If it was fast enough, the victim wouldnât even feel any pain.
Lin Yun glanced at Pei Xue. He could see that although Pei Xue tried her best to maintain her composure, her pupils were flashing with anxiety. This confirmed his suspicion that the war realms were looking for her. Although getting someone to strip was a little brutish, it was an effective method.
With Zheng Rong as an example, everyone else stripped obediently. But fortunately, the Profound Lightning Twin Swords only had them remove their upper clothes.
Coming this far, Lin Yun had no doubts that those two were looking for Pei Xue. It didnât take long for everyone to strip. However, only Lin Yun and Pei Xue were clothed. As a female, even if Pei Xue used some means to conceal her figure, there was no way she could strip in public.
Mo Xuan looked at Lin Yun before his gaze fell onto Pei Xue, âStrip!â
Even Han Lei was watching. After all, Lin Yun had someone backing him up, so they decided not to force him for now. They thought it would be easier if they dealt with Pei Xue first.
Their words made Pei Xueâs face change because this was too humiliating for her. She did have a treasure that could change the final ranking, but there was no way she could hand it over because she still needed it.
As time passed, Mo Xuan and Han Lei gradually sensed that there was something unusual about the disguised Pei Xue and their gazes became sharp, âStrip or die!â
The two of them slowly flew over with terrifying sword aura unleashed while the lightning runes in their aura oceans began to emit an ancient aura. Meanwhile, Pei Xue became unprecedentedly nervous and her face turned ugly. As Mo Xuan and Han Leiâs eyes flashed with killing intent, their eyes were also flickering with excitement.
âYou two clearly know that sheâs a woman disguised as a man. Why do you want her to strip? Isnât the Elysium Trigram War Realm a little too shady?â Right at this moment, a lazy voice sounded out and drew Han Lei and Mo Xuanâs attention.
âDo you have an opinion about it?â Mo Xuan squinted his eyes and wore a playful smile. He wouldâve made his move earlier if it wasnât for the task assigned to him. But now that he had found their target, he naturally had no reservation to attack. Although he was smiling, everyone could sense the chill in his tone.
âWhatâs the matter? Are you angry now that youâre being embarrassed?â Lin Yun sneered. Everyone could hear the mockery in his tone. Lin Yun mustâve lost his mind to provoke those two after witnessing their strength.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDie!â Mo Xuanâs smile froze as he raised his hand.
