Chapter 1775 – Lin Yun Making A Move!
The Sovereign's Ascension
âItâs him?!â When Lin Yun removed the bamboo hat, these two words appeared within everyoneâs mind. Even the holy landsâ geniuses and Four Young Masters were surprised to see him.
âA musician dares to go on the stage? Isnât he afraid of embarrassing himself?â The Wind Edge Lord, who had a grudge against Lin Yun, said coldly.
âWind Edge Lord, I beg to differ.â Ji Lingfeng of the Divine Phoenix Mountain smiled. Raising the wine cup in his hand, he continued, âHe defeated Li Yuxi at the Nirvana Banquet, and I believe the other guy is a disciple of the Ming Cult? Haha!â
Ji Lingfeng mustâve naturally heard about the transaction between Lin Yun and the Ji Clan since he had âJiâ as his surname. It could even be said that he benefited from the Phoenix Heart Song. So he would naturally stand on Lin Yunâs side.
The Ming Cultâs Yu Wenxiu had no change on his face, but indifferently said, âLu Yuxi is strong, but his main focus is on music dao. He cannot be compared to Sikong Yuan in regards to his strength.â
The Wind Edge Lord wasnât afraid of Ji Lingfeng, so he coldly said, âIf I remember correctly, Lu Yuxiâs only at the seventh-pulse Dragon Pulse Realm while Sikong Yuan is at the ninth-pulse Dragon Pulse Realm. Each of Sikong Yuanâs dragon pulses are a thousand feet, so how can this brat be compared to him?â
Ji Lingfeng also didnât have confidence in Lin Yun, but he wasnât willing to admit defeat. He smiled, âWeâll see, then.â
In the pavilion belonging to the Sword Sect, Ye Ziling was also shocked. She locked her brows together and murmured, âWhy is it him?â
âYou know him?â Mu Xueqin asked in a surprised tone.
âSenior Sister, that person was with Mei Zihua back then.â Ye Ziling replied.
Mu Xueqin smiled before she contemptuously said, âHe probably took a fancy to you, wanting to be a hero who saves a beauty. Everyone was touched to hear that he confirmed his relationship with the Profound Fairy under the Three-Lives Tree and even touched the tree. I didnât expect him to change his mind so quickly. As expected of men!â
Is that really the case? Ye Ziling still had doubts when she heard that, so her slightly favorable impression of Lin Xiao disappeared.
At the Thunderstorm Battlestage, Sikong Yuan was surprised when he saw Lin Yunâs appearance under the bamboo hat. But he soon smiled, âSo itâs the Nirvana Banquetâs champion. Youâre really not a nobody.â
âItâs also true that my name isnât on the Dragon Pulse Ranking.â Lin Yun replied.
âYou donât have to be humble. Since you dared to come on the stage, you naturally have to be prepared to take a beating, so I wonât go easy on you!â Sikong Yuan smiled. When he finished, he began to rotate his spear with nine dragon pulses appearing behind him, and each dragon pulse was a thousand feet long. He had no intention of hiding his strength. The sun and moon behind him began to flicker when he rotated his spear.
This attack was bizarre because it even caused heaven and earth to rumble. As Sikong Yuanâs aura rose, the saint spear in his hand rotated a few thousand times in the blink of an eye.
With a powerful gale, the sky turned dark, and Lin Yun could feel a majestic wave of aura rushing towards him. As his hair fluttered in the wind, he involuntarily squinted his eyes.
âSun-Moon Nirvana Slash!â Sikong Yuan roared, and he threw his spear forth. A bizarre scene occurred because the spear immediately disappeared when it was released.
This surprised Lin Yun, but he retreated with his arms spread apart before Sikong Yuan moved. The spear reappeared with two saint runes as ripples spread out from the void. One was gold, the other was silver, and the afterimage Lin Yun left behind was pierced in the chest by the spear.
When the spear's tip fell to the ground, the entire tip had pierced it, causing the blazing saint blood to splash from the stage. This made everyone take in a cold breath, and they instantly realized that Sikong Yuan had held back earlier when he had fought Ye Ziling. Only now did he unleash the power of someone in the top hundredth on the Dragon Pulse Ranking.
When the saint blood fell back to the stage, it ignited with flames. A terrifying shockwave also swept out. There was no way Lin Yun could avoid this in mid-air.
Inwardly roaring, Lin Yun pushed his hand forth and executed the profundity of the Azure Dragon, manipulating thunderstorms. The omnipresent wind behind him formed into an ocean before shaping into a rumbling wave.
When the two waves collided, they produced a great explosion, and Lin Yun let out a muffled groan. Just the remnant energy within the shockwave had injured him. But three breaths later, Lin Yun had already completely recovered from his injuries, thanks to the Blue Dragon Saint Physique, when he landed on the ground.
"It doesn't feel good, does it?" Sikong Yuan grinned, unaware that Lin Yun had recovered from his injuries. As he soared to the sky, he spun in mid-air and stepped on the far end of the spear. After the spear bent like a bowstring, he shot forth.
When he shot forth, the remaining power left on the spear empowered him. As the sun and moon behind him flickered, Sikong Yuan used this power to punch Lin Yun, âDivine Radiance Annihilation!â
Facing his attack, Lin Yun flashed three times and unleashed three punches, with a hundred thousand dragon runes poured into his punches and resolved Sikong Yuanâs attack.
âFalling Sun Slash!â Sikong Yuanâs speed didnât decrease, and he roared when he arrived before Lin Yun. When he landed on the ground, his spear flew into his hands before swinging it down. The sheer force of his strike shattered the air. Even though Lin Yun quickly dodged it, he was still caught by the ripple when the spear landed on the ground.
âDie!â Sikong Yuanâs aura was high as he swept his spear forth.
But Lin Yun tilted to the side, facing his attack, before gently giving a push with his right hand, which was empowered by the ocean of wind. When his palm came in contact with the spear, lightning poured into his hand, and his hand was like a dragonâs claw that pushed the spear back.
As lightning crackled and exploded, Sikong Yuanâs arm became numb, and he almost lost his grip on the spear. His nine dragon pulses became berserk, and Sikong Yuan had to shake the lightning away before grabbing his spear and sweeping it over from another direction.
That attack wasnât easy for Lin Yun to bear, and he saw the spear sweeping over again. He manipulated his dragon origin by instinct, and could feel a tremendous pressure falling from the sky, as though his tribulation would descend at any time.
As the sky became dark with thunderclouds looming overhead, Lin Yun came to his senses and suppressed his dragon origin to a controllable range. Only then did the pressure from heaven and earth decrease.
During a time of desperation, he withdrew his right hand and pushed his left palm forth, accompanied by a violent gale. The wind could defend, and lightning could attack. So he could deal with Sikong Yuanâs attacks by relying on the Blue Dragon Saint Physique.
But Sikong Yuanâs attacks grew increasingly ferocious, forcing Lin Yun to retreat and he could only suffer a one-sided beating from the former. But gradually, everyone began to realize that something wasnât right.
Lin Yun might seem to be receiving a one-sided beating and was powerless to retaliate, but he was easily handling Sikong Yuanâs attacks. Whenever he made a move, he would easily resolve Sikong Yuanâs ferocious attacks as if they were flowing clouds.
As his white robe fluttered in the wind, they exchanged a few hundred moves in the blink of an eye. Contrary to everyoneâs expectations, Lin Yun was calm and composed. Another strike later, Lin Yunâs gaze became sharp, and he noticed that Sikong Yuanâs hand was trembling while holding onto his spear.
When Lin Yun raised his head, he could see the shock on Sikong Yuanâs face. He reached out and grabbed the spear, wanting to yank it away from him. This caught Sikong Yuan by surprise as lightning exploded, and he lost his grip on the spear.
When he came to his senses and wanted to reach out for his spear, it was already in Lin Yunâs hands. Lin Yun was firmly holding onto the spearhead. This instantly made Sikong Yuan panic. But just when he was about to move, the spear turned around and swept at his lower back.
This strike was fast and ruthless, accompanied with rumbling thunderstorms. As Sikong Yuan let out a painful howl, he was sent flying away. Everything happened too quickly, and no one could react in time because they were dumbfounded.
But what happened next was even faster as Lin Yun flicked his wrist, and the spear pierced Sikong Yuanâs chest. This made Sikong Yuan throw out a mouthful of blood as a hole opened in his chest, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence.
Everything took place in the blink of an eye, and all of his movements were so smooth that everyone who was watching couldnât even exclaim.
âYouâre courting death!â Sikong Yuan lost himself to his anger. Despite knowing that Lin Yun had gone easy on him, he still dashed over towards Lin Yun with unwillingness.
Lin Yun let go of the spear and pushed his palm forth with a hundred thousand dragon runes in his palm. When his palm came in contact with the butt end of the spear, the spear rushed forth like a bolt of lightning, shattering the void in its path.
When Sikong Yuan took two steps out, the spear pierced his chest again and sent him flying. As a violent impact spread, the spear was like an azure dragon that knocked him into the sky.
After he landed on the ground, Sikong Yuanâs hair became disheveled, and his expression was pale. He had no blood on his face and held onto the spear with two hands, slowly pulling it out. There was lightning flickering from the spear that spread along his body. When he pulled the spearhead out, he threw out a mouthful of blood before he fell onto one knee.
âThanks for letting me win.â Lin Yun cupped his hands together.
Sikong Yuanâs face turned red, and he felt so ashamed that he couldnât utter anything. He initially didnât have to suffer this humiliation, but he just had to force Lin Yun to stay. Even after knowing Lin Yunâs identity, he still considered Lin Yun to be a pushover and even asked him to be prepared to receive a beating.
When Sikong Yuan fell to his knees, he felt humiliated and wanted to find a hole to burrow in. The entire Thunderblood Square fell into a dead silence, and it took a long time before exclamations echoed and everyoneâs blood boiled.
The Ming Cultâs Yu Wenxiuâs face was dark, and he couldnât utter a word. The corner of Wind Edge Lordâs lips twitched. He wanted to say something but couldnât even utter a word.
âHahaha! Thatâs great! Who says heâs only a musician? In my opinion, the Ming Cult is too weak!â Ji Lingfeng laughed.
Everyone had witnessed how Lin Yun defeated Sikong Yuan, and finally realized that apart from music dao, Lin Yunâs martial dao couldnât be underestimated. Most importantly, Lin Yun was low profile, making everyone feel even more terrified because they had no idea about his true strength.
