Chapter 1210 - Perfect Couple
The Sovereign's Ascension
Aside from Luo Hua, everyone faced the immense pressure of the Lightning Shadow Sword. The Incineration Sword was tempting to a Dragon Pulse Realm expert, especially since it couldnât be bought with money. A fine sword forged by Feng Xuanzi was a priceless saint artifact.
But even that sword was nothing in comparison to the Lightning Shadow Sword. The Lightning Shadow Sword was engraved with a divine rune. Naturally, Bai Ting would fall to his knees when he heard that the Lightning Shadow Sword was about to break.
Even Luo Hua couldnât help feeling heartache for Lin Yun. After all, if the Lightning Shadow Sword broke, Lin Yun would have gone through the three rounds in vain. The scene of Lin Yun being stabbed by three swords was still deeply imprinted in her mind.
âWait here. Iâll go and take a look.â Luo Hua spread her arms apart and soared into the sky, heading toward Lin Yun.
âYoung Master Luo!â Bai Ting called out anxiously because no one knew Lin Yunâs current state was. If the Lightning Shadow Sword really broke, the power created in the explosion could even kill an expert in the Dragon Pulse Realm.
Back on the stage, Lin Yun was holding on with great difficulty because he couldnât control the current situation. The Lightning Shadow Sword was competing with the âbroken swordâ in his body, and he could sense that the Lightning Shadow Sword had unleashed its full prowess despite the fact that the âbroken swordâ didnât unleash much of its power.
This gave Lin Yun a headache. He now understood why this sword could be subdued by the old geezer. After all, the old geezer and the sword practically had the same temper. He wanted to put the sword back in its sheath, but the sword resisted him and fought with the âbroken swordâ in his body.
As more cracks appeared on the sword, Lin Yun couldnât help feeling anxious. The cracks on the divine rune wouldnât matter much because it would recover with enough time. But if the divine rune completely broke, the Lightning Shadow Sword would also break. He would only be able to fix it if he found the Mo Clan.
Letting out a ferocious roar, Lin Yun immediately executed all of his trump cards, including the remaining Demonic Astral Flowers within his body. As the Azure Dragon Mark ignited on his chest, it made his body comparable to a hundred rune saint artifact. At the same time, the quasi-divine firmament sword intent continued to hum in his forehead.
But it was a pity that Lin Yun had lost the majority of his Demonic Astral Flowers and sword intent through the battle. There was no way he could return to top form in such a short amount of time even though his injuries were healed.
Lin Yun was sheathing the Lightning Shadow Sword, but the speed was slower than the divine rune shattering. Sensing this, Lin Yun took a deep breath and a sword ray flickered in his eyes.
Fleeting Cloud 13 SwordsâMyriad Sword Condensation!
As Lin Yun circulated the Fleeting Cloud Sword Art, the real holy spirit of the Fleeting Cloud 13 Swords appeared once more. When the gigantic sword appeared, the pressure Lin Yun was feeling immediately lightened. But even so, the Lightning Shadow Sword didnât submit to him. In fact, it retaliated with an even more terrifying sword ray.
âBehave yourself!â This was a rare opportunity and Lin Yun couldnât let it go. But before he unleashed his full power, the Lightning Shadow Sword returned to its sheath right before the divine rune was about to shatter.
Lin Yun threw up a mouthful of blood as his face turned pale. At the same time, the azure sword became illusory. Even if he had reached the limit of the Heavenly Soul Realm, he still couldnât bear summoning the holy spirit twice. Without enough vitality, he couldnât summon the holy spirit for long.
âHoly shit. That nearly scared the shit out of me. If the Lightning Shadow Sword broke, even I would have felt heartache for it!â Lilâ Purple spoke with lingering fear in her voice. âLin Yun, whatâs wrong? Donât scare meâ¦â
Lin Yun was like a broken kite as he fell from the sky. From the height that he was falling, he would be crippled once he hit the ground. Perhaps he would become the first genius who died after falling from the sky. But a breeze suddenly blew past and Luo Hua grabbed him..
âWhat are you doing here?â Lin Yunâs face was pale as he looked at Luo Hua who was embracing him.
âI was feeling heartache for youâ¦â Luo Hua said. Her face couldnât be seen due to the veil, but Lin Yun could sense the gentleness in her voice.
âItâs fine. Iâll be okay after a little rest,â smiled Lin Yun while taking a deep breath to allow the Nirvana Pellet to finish the healing process.
âLin Yun, I donât want to stay here any longer,â said Luo Hua. He could tell from her tone that she was disgusted with this plaza, disgusted with the Feng Clan, and disgusted with the environment of the Azure Rock Hidden Sword Pavilion.
âThen letâs go.â Lin Yun stood up with the Lightning Shadow Sword in his left hand. Then, he offered his right hand to Luo Hua.
âOkay, Iâll listen.â Luo Hua naturally reached out and grabbed onto Lin Yunâs hand as well.
âLetâs go!â Although Lin Yun looked exhausted, he looked extraordinary, especially with the purple mark on his forehead that made him look devilish. His appearance complimented Luo Hua so well that they looked like the perfect couple as they flew away.
Once the sword aura disappeared, everyone was able to stand up. Everyone watched Lin Yun fly away with Luo Hua next to him in disbelief. It was a scene they would never forget.
After Bai Ting recovered from his shock, his lips twitched. He couldnât believe that they were leaving without him. âTheyâre going to leave just like that?â
He quickly got to his feet and ran after them. After all, he didnât dare to stick around. At the same time, Zhao Yan and Ye Feifan chased after Bai Ting. Since the Sword Assembly was done and the Feng Clan was a mess, there was no reason to stick around. Although Lin Yun left holding hands with a beauty, everyone knew that his problems were just beginning. There was no way that Lin Yun could just leave with the Lightning Shadow Sword.
After leaving Feng Clan, Lin Yun and Luo Hua both descended from the sky. When they turned to look back, they were both filled with emotions. After all, neither of them could have anticipated all of the tribulations that Lin Yun faced.
âYou should rest for the night.â Luo Hua then let go of Lin Yunâs hands and examined the wounds on his body.
Lin Yun nodded his head because he knew that subduing the Lightning Shadow Sword was even more tiring than the battles he faced. Although he managed to stabilize his injuries with the Nirvana Pellet, he could clearly sense that the effects of the Nirvana Pellet had declined.
âLetâs wait for Elder Bai Ting.â Lin Yun turned back to look at the gate because he still had to discuss the next steps with Elder Bai Ting. Soon enough, Elder Bai Ting rushed through the gate with a smile of relief.
âItâs good that the two of you are here.â Bai Ting smiled before his gaze fell onto the Lightning Shadow Sword and whispered, âErm, that sword didnât break, right?â
âNope.â Lin Yun smiled. âBut the divine rune is damaged, and it needs time to repair itself.â
A divine rune and saint rune werenât the same. Saint runes required spiritualists to repair them while divine runes could repair themselves. This was also the reason why divine runes could be preserved through the ancient era.
Feeling relieved, Bai Ting smiled, âGood. Good. I havenât sent a report to the sect master yet. We can stay with the Huang Clan for the night while we wait for the sect masterâs instructions.â
Lin Yun fell into deep thoughts because he knew that the Feng Clan wouldnât let the Lightning Shadow Sword go. Furthermore, there would also be many people planning to go after the sword.
âWhat about the ranking battle of the Profound Azure Prefecture?â Lin Yun fell into deep thoughts.
Bai Tingâs face changed and said, âThis⦠itâs disadvantageous for you because youâre still not an empyrean. Youâll have a hard time competing with Astral Stage experts.â
Bai Ting was right. The only reason why Lin Yun had success in the Sword Assembly was because everyone restricted their cultivation to the Heavenly Soul Realm. Although he defeated many people in the top 3,000, all of them had restricted their cultivation. Truthfully, he might not be able to defeat Feng Xingyan or Zhao Yan without the restriction, let alone Gongsun Yan. After all, there was a huge gap in their cultivation, and Lin Yunâs trump cards wouldnât do anything.
âI just need one night,â said Lin Yun. Lin Yun had stayed in the Heavenly Soul Realm for a long time, and he could also make use of this opportunity to digest his harvest in the Sword Assembly.
âIsnât that a little too rushed?â Bai Ting asked.
âBrother Lin!â
âBig Brother Lin!â Two people quickly came over and Lin Yun turned to face them. It was the carefree Ye Feifan and the serious Zhao Yan.
