Chapter 1998 - Three-Eyed Demonspirit!
The Sovereign's Ascension
âYe Qingtian, you think Bai Qingyu can survive if you lure me away? Thatâs impossible, because both of you will die today!â Xiao Jingyanâs hair fluttered as he became enveloped in a demonic radiance.
Lin Yun didnât choose to fight him head-on and continued to lure him away. This way, Bai Qingyu and Lilâ Red would be safe. He was worried because Bai Qingyu and Lilâ Red were injured, and they might be unable to leave the Myriad Graves Valley, even if he lured Xiao Jingyan away. He initially wanted to help Bai Qingyu treat her injuries, but he didnât have the time.
Xiao Jingyan suddenly thought of something and smiled, changing his direction. Why should he waste time chasing after Ye Qingtian? Since Ye Qingtian was concerned about Bai Qingyu, he could just capture her. He pushed his movement speed to the limit. He chased after the escaping Ancient Dracoape, descending from the sky with his palm, sending the Ancient Dracoape and Bai Qingyu flying away.
Under the heavy blow, Lilâ Red returned to its cat form. Bai Qingyu also threw out a mouthful of blood, and her grave injuries worsened even more.
âDescending Nether Orchid!â Bai Qingyu gritted her teeth and activated the Stalewater Sword at full force, wanting to inflict injuries on Xiao Jingyan. Even if she dies, she had to do something.
âStop!â Lin Yun yelled when he saw this scene. In his eyes, Xiao Jingyan was an expert in the top thirty, and he wasnât someone like Bai Qingyu could handle.
But everything was too late. Bai Qingyu might possess a Twospirit Glory Saint Artifact, but Xiao Jingyanâs pupils flashed with disdain, knowing she couldnât even bring out the full force of it. Bai Qingyu lacked fighting experience.
Xiao Jingyan merely tilted his body to the side to avoid the incoming attack, before unleashing his attack when Bai Qingyu revealed her flaw. He clenched his fist and punched Bai Qingyuâs chest, disrupting Bai Qingyuâs nirvana aura.
The punch broke her ribs, and the impact injured her internal organs as she flew back like a broken kite. When she fell to the ground, she fainted from the pain, and her injuries were so serious that her vitality had nearly disappeared.
âTrash!â Xiao Jingyan seized the Stalewater Sword and mocked, âIf you could have even brought out one-tenth of this swordâs power, I wouldnât have dared to move against you. Let me use your beloved sword to end your life, then.â
Bai Qingyu had to die or he wouldnât be able to stay in the Heavenly Dao Sect in the future if news of them trying to kill Ye Qingtian spread out. When Xiao Jingyan swung his sword, waves overlapped. This was a Twospirit Glory Saint Artifact that many Quasi-Saints would risk their lives for. Even a Saint Lord would be willing to lower themselves to seize it.
âItâs mine now!â Xiao Jingyan laughed, swinging the sword down.
But Lin Yun finally arrived and clashed with the Stalewater Sword head-on. When the two swords clashed, Xiao Jingyan smiled, âI already guessed that youâd return. You tried to lure me away, but youâre forced to come back in the end. Do you feel foolish?â
âIâm a swordsman; I just have to be true to my heart,â Lin Yun smiled.
Xiao Jingyan mocked, âYou can be true to your heart when youâre dead.â
âYou wouldnât understand,â Lin Yun smiled. He grabbed his sword with both hands and pushed Xiao Jingyan back.
âLeave with her.â Lin Yun grabbed Bai Qingyu and threw her over to Lilâ Red.
âWomen are really troublesome.â Lilâ Red shook its head and left with Bai Qingyu.
âDo you guys think you can escape?â Xiao Jingyan chased after Lilâ Red again. His speed was fast, and he was bound to catch up since Lilâ Red was carrying someone.
But Lin Yun suddenly executed the Sword of the Beginning with the Flower Burial Sword, aimed at Xiao Jingyanâs back. This made Xiao Jingyan feel a heightened danger, and his body stiffened before being enveloped in a boundless sword aura. The surrounding space began to squeeze down on him, and Lilâ Red gradually got further away, even though he was chasing after them. Xiao Jingyan was getting closer to Lin Yun, who used Light of the Beginning.
Xiao Jingyan could no longer be bothered with Bai Qingyu and released all the saint aura within his body.
When Lin Yunâs sword fell to his neck, Xiao Jingyanâs neck suddenly thickened, and Lin Yunâs sword failed to decapitate him. As Xiao Jingyan retreated to the side, blood flowed down his neck. Xiao Jingyan was inwardly shocked and knew he was careless, even if he was prepared. âHow terrifying. Thatâs the Light of the Beginning?â
He was previously still laughing at Ye Qinghong, and yet he made the same mistake. Xiao Jingyan now knew how Ye Qinghong died.
Lin Yun was also shocked as he looked at Xiao Jingyan. This was the first time the Light of the Beginning failed to take his opponentâs life. Then again, he had just created this move, and it still wasnât complete yet. There was still a lot of room for improvement. But it would be troublesome to find an opportunity to kill Xiao Jingyan now that he had failed. He now knew why Xiao Jingyan could make it into the top hundredths of the King Ranking with his cultivation only at the eighth transformation of the Nirvana Stage.
âAs expected of a genius swordsman. Your cultivation is clearly weak, but youâre dangerous with your sword in your hand. Then again, you lost your opportunity,â Xiao Jingyan said coldly.
âTalk after you catch up to me.â Lin Yun didnât waste words with Xiao Jingyan and fled.
When Xiao Jingyan turned around, Bai Qingyu was nowhere to be seen.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDamn it!â He quickly circulated his movement technique. A lotus would bloom beneath his feet whenever he stepped forth. The lotuses were all made of Netherworld Ghost Fire. He had actually managed to keep up with Lin Yun.
Lin Yun took a deep breath before executing the Golden Crow Wings at full force, increasing his speed.
âYou canât escape!â Xiao Jingyan snorted as he turned into a bolt of lightning with black flames blazing on the lightning.
Lin Yun suddenly turned around and reached out. Since Xiao Jingyan didnât bring out his constellation, Xiao Jingyan had yet to treat him seriously, and Lin Yun wanted to use this opportunity to kill him.
âBlack Tortoise Chains!â Nine shackles flew from Lin Yunâs palm, manifesting into lightning pythons that shot towards Xiao Jingyan.
Xiao Jingyan tried his best to dodge, knocking two shackles away. But he was bit by three pythons on his chest, right shoulder, and wrist. When Xiao Jingyan fell to the ground, he threw a mouthful of blood. His injuries were clearly heavy, but they didnât look like a heavy casualty.
This instantly made Lin Yun realize that something wasnât right, and he frowned, âYour physique isnât any weaker than some natal saint physiques.â
âYou have a lot of trump cards. I donât believe that trash can become so powerful by relying on one saint origin!â Xiao Jingyan said.
âIâm curious. Iâm not surprised that the Ye Clan, Zhang Clan, and Bai Clan want to kill me. But for an outsider like you to be involved, you must be under Wang Muyanâs orders, right?â Lin Yun asked.
Xiao Jingyanâs face changed, and he guessed that Ye Qingtian was buying time to recover his nirvana aura. Ye Qingtian must have exhausted much of his nirvana aura after unleashing so many attacks. But he didnât expose Ye Qingtian and smiled, âPerhaps we can exchange our secrets. Tell me why youâre here in the Myriad Graves Valley, and Iâll tell you my relationship with Wang Muyan.â
His words proved that Wang Muyan had interfered in this matter. Lin Yun replied, âIâm naturally here for the Udumbara Flower.â
âBullshit,â Xiao Jingyan said in disdain. âDo you think Iâm easy to bluff like Bai Qingyu? Who doesnât know that the Myriad Graves Valley has a huge secret hidden here? But no one has managed to find it throughout the years. You must know something about it.â
Lin Yun was inwardly shocked when he heard that, and he immediately thought of what Lilâ Purple said about a divine array hidden beneath the Myriad Graves Valley. He said, âI donât know. Iâm here for the Udumbara Flower.â
âWho doesnât know that the Udumbara Flower is in the Myriad Graves Valley? But no one has managed to find it. Who are you bluffing? Unlessâ¦â Xiao Jingyan suddenly smiled and squinted his pupils, âIâm actually not concerned about that. I heard youâre also looking for the Solar Lunar Divine Rune?â
Lin Yun raised his brow and instantly felt that Xiao Jingyan wasnât simple.
âDonât be so surprised,â Xiao Jingyan smiled. âIf you can help me find the Solar Lunar Divine Rune, Wang Muyan is nothing. I can even help you.â
Lin Yunâs face sank, and he asked, âXiao Jingyan, who are you?â
âWho are you, too?â Xiao Jingyan smiled. âLet me guess, is your surname Lin?â
Lin Yun was calm and composed when he heard that, which disappointed Xiao Jingyan. Xiao Jingyan smiled, âYou can really put up an act, but it doesnât matter. Let me tell you who I am!â
Xiao Jingyanâs bones began to wriggle and crackle as a demonic radiance shone from his body, and a horrifying pressure began to spread. While Lin Yun felt uncertain, Xiao Jingyanâs forehead broke apart, and a vertical eye appeared.
âThe Demonspirit Clan!â Lin Yun exclaimed.
âIt has been a long time since I used my real appearance. Itâs actually getting stuffy.â Xiao Jingyan greedily gasped for his breath.
But Lin Yun was greatly shocked by Xiao Jingyanâs appearance. He had multiple encounters with the Demonspirit Clan within the Kunlun Realm and Profound Amber Realm. But most of the Demonspirit he ran into were dead, demonic corpses, or on the brink of death. But no one expected that the Demonspirit Clan had joined a holy land. This was too unbelievable.
âSurprised? The Kunlun Realm also belongs to us. I know youâre buying time, and Iâm doing the same. You can die now!â Xiao Jingyan smiled. After revealing his true identity, a horrifying power spread out with his cultivation teaching the pinnacle ninth transformation of the Nirvana Stage.
The Stalewater Sword in his hand emitted a powerful sword ray that flew out with a massive water geyser reaching a thousand feet.
