Chapter 1250 - You Should Rejoice
The Sovereign's Ascension
Before they arrived, they had heard that there was a monstrous genius in the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect who completed the three challenges in the Azurerock Hidden Sword Pavilion and even became the champion.
But their gazes soon became uncertain because this person before them was too young. He seemed to only be in the Galaxy Stage, since they couldnât sense the aura of a constellation coming from Lin Yun.
âJunior Brother Lin!â Jiang Lichen let out a breath of relief when he saw Lin Yun, since he was on the verge of not being able to hold himself back. If it wasnât for Lin Yun, he would probably be humiliated.
Lin Yun nodded his head and glanced at Zhang Ting, âAlthough you guys are from the main sect, donât forget that you guys are merely guests here. So remember your identity and donât think that you guys are the owners here. If you guys take it too far, then donât blame the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect for being unreasonable.â
His words instantly made the faces of Sword Sectâs disciples ugly. Compared to Jiang Lichen, Lin Yunâs words were even uglier.
âA mere disciple of a branch sect dares to be so arrogant? Are you rebelling against the main sect?â Zhang Ting said with his face darkening after he was sent flying back.
Seeing that the disciples of the Scarlet Firmament Peak were being so overbearing, Lin Yun now knew why Jian Jingtian didnât like them. He looked at Zhang Ting and said, âI have no intentions of rebelling, but youâre in no position to teach the chief disciple of my Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect a lesson. As for the Sword Saint Mountain? Go on if you guys want to see it. If you want to climb it, then look for the sect master yourself. Now, you guys can get lost.â
âWho did you say to get lost?!â
âRepeat what you said!â
âWho are you to care who weâre teaching a lesson to?â Not only Zhang Ting, but even the other disciples also had rage flashing across their pupils. It was so much so that even Qin Tianâs face had become colder. After all, they felt that they were already polite to the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect as disciples of the Sword Sect.
If the elders of the Scarlet Firmament Peak didnât warn them before they came here, they wouldâve already flared up by now.
âJunior Brother, letâs forget about it. Theyâre from the main sect, and Iâm fine. Letâs wait for the sect master with regards to the Sword Saint Mountainâ¦â Jiang Lichen muttered because he didnât want to blow the matter up.
âWho the hell do you think you are to talk to?â Zhang Ting coldly glared at Jiang Lichen. âIf he doesnât make it clear today, thereâs no way weâll let this matter rest. A mere disciple of a branch sect dares to be so impudent before us?â
âAm I not clear enough?â Lin Yun smirked with mockery flashing across his pupils. âThen Iâll make myself clear again. I said you, you, you, and you, get lost from here and donât show yourselves before me. I donât have a good temper!â
He didnât have a good temper and was only concerned with those close to him. When he didnât like someone, Lin Yun would never have the habit of keeping them around. Although Jiang Lichen was weak, he was still the face of the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect. Since he had witnessed this scene, he naturally had to stand out.
Qin Tian was included in the group that Lin Yun pointed out. He wasnât just targeting Zhang Ting alone, but all the disciples of the Sword Sect. Lin Yun then winked and smiled. âDidnât you guys listen correctly? Iâm not targeting you, but everyone else here. Even if our senior brother is weak, you guys are in no position to teach him a lesson. Understood?â
Jiang Lichen was briefly stunned before he smiled. Lin Yun was as arrogant as before, but he was still ultimately someone on his side.
âEven we havenât climbed the Sword Saint Mountain. So, who the hell do you guys think you are?â
âWell said, Junior Brother Lin!â
âEven if our senior brother is weak, heâs still not someone you guys can humiliate. Get lost!â
âThatâs right. Heâs still our senior brother, no matter what!â Lin Yunâs words instantly attracted the attention of others. They were long unhappy with the disciples of the Sword Sect, so they immediately gathered behind Lin Yun the moment he spoke out.
Jiang Lichenâs lips twitched and finally knew what was wrong. He had no idea if Lin Yun was helping him or humiliating him even further. When Lin Yun heard the echoes from the fellow disciples of the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect, Jiang Lichen smiled, âMy bad, my bad.â
Jiang Lichen glared at him when he heard that. But Lin Yun didnât end it there and looked at Zhang Tingâs party, âAnyhow, our senior brother isnât someone the likes of you can touch.â
âYour senior brother is nothing and I even dare to touch you! Iâll see who dares to talk!â Zhang Ting charged toward Lin Yun before Qin Tian spoke up.
But Lin Yun maintained the smile on his face and took a step forth, unleashing his sword aura that came crashing down like a colossal mountain. Furthermore, his sword aura also soared into the sky.
The immense pressure immediately dropped Zhang Ting from mid-air. The sword aura that was crashing down on Zhang Ting made his face change. He wanted to circulate his sword intent, but he was deeply shocked when he realized that his sword intent was being restricted by Lin Yunâs sword aura.
âSky sword intent!â Zhang Tingâs eyes flashed with disbelief. After all, sky sword intent was rarely seen from the Empyrean Realm even in the Ancient Barren Domain. Even in the Sword Sect, those who could grasp the sky sword intent in the Empyrean Realm were monstrous geniuses. But Zhang Ting was in even greater disbelief at the fact that Lin Yunâs sky sword intent was a little too strong.
Just when he was feeling uneasy, Lin Yunâs sword aura grew even more terrifying and he fell to the ground, landing on one knee. Lin Yunâs sword intent also made all the disciples of the Sword Sectâs faces change. When they looked at Lin Yun, their gazes became grave.
They already knew that Lin Yun was a monstrous genius, but they never imagined that Lin Yun would be so terrifying when he was only at the Galaxy Stage. This filled Zhang Tingâs eyes with shock as he circulated all his astral energy. But he still couldnât judge the sword aura that Lin Yun was giving off. It was so much so that even he began to feel like he was suffocating and his face was turning pale.
âHow is he so strong? Heâs only a disciple of a branch sect. Even if heâs a genius, how can he possibly compete with us?â Zhang Ting was deeply shocked. He was no genius in the Scarlet Firmament Peak, but he wasnât a pushover either. Even the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sectâs chief disciple was just a joke in his eyes, but Lin Yun was a little too unreasonably strong.
âStop!â Seeing that Zhang Ting couldnât stand up no matter how he tried, two disciples who had a close relationship with Zhang Ting charged forth. In the blink of an eye, the two had already come before Lin Yun with their palms aimed at his left and right shoulders.
Their palms werenât aimed at Lin Yunâs fatal spots because even an Astral Stage expert would be heavily injured after taking their attacks head-on. But when their palms landed on Lin Yun, they produced a metallic collision sound.
Not only did they fail to budge Lin Yun, but they could even feel their arms going numb and this brought shock to their eyes. Their hearts instantly sank and they wanted to retreat, but Lin Yun grabbed onto their wrists the moment they wanted to retreat. The two hands were like dragon claws tightly gripping onto their wrists with a powerful strength that quickly shattered the astral energy on the surface of their bodies.
âGo back!â Lin Yun raised the two disciples up and slammed them against one another. When the two disciples came in contact with each other, their bones began to crack. After he was done, Lin Yun casually threw the two disciples away like ragdolls.
When the two disciples fell to the ground, they bounced off the ground and flew a few hundred meters away. At this moment, Zhang Ting, who was down on one knee, finally couldnât bear the pressure anymore and his other knee also fell onto the ground.
Looking at Zhang Ting, Lin Yun asked, âSuch a huge greeting? Sorry, but I canât accept that.â
Waving his hand, an invisible force slammed against Zhang Tingâs chest and he was sent flying away, while throwing out a mouthful of blood. When he fell onto the ground, he left several terrifying cracks on the ground.
This scene made all the disciples of the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect take in a cold breath. They didnât expect Lin Yun to be so ruthless.
Clapping his hands, Lin Yun smiled, âYou guys want to teach others a lesson with that strength? Arenât you guys joking around?â
âSenior Brother Qin!â The faces of the Sword Sectâs disciples changed as they turned to look at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian didnât have any change on his face and merely looked at Lin Yun, âThey didnât use their constellation nor did they draw their swords. Werenât you a little too ruthless to them?â
Lin Yun snickered when he heard that because Qin Tian made it sound as if he had drawn his sword or used his constellation. With disdain flashing through his pupils, Lin Yun said, âIf they drew their swords, theyâd know the true meaning of being ruthless.â
After all, Jiang Lichen was injured to the point that he threw out blood and Zhang Ting still showed no signs of stopping back then.
Qin Tian smirked and was enveloped in arrogance as he continued, âBefore coming, the sect master told us that weâre not allowed to trigger disciples of the branch sects because of their lowly origins. But it looks like thereâs no need for that with such an arrogant person like you here. Looks like you have no idea of the difference between main and branch if youâre not taught a lesson.â
This made all the Sword Sectâs disciples rejoice and wonder if Qin Tian was finally going to make a move. Especially Zhang Ting, who yelled out, âBrat, Senior Brother Qin is already at nine hundred and a half a year ago on the Empyrean Ranking. Thatâs a height that someone like you can never achieve. You should rejoice that senior brother is willing to fight you!â
