Chapter 728 - Kill
The Sovereign's Ascension
It was a grand occasion for the three forces to recruit disciples, but it had turned into a stage for the seven geniuses. Everyone knew that the three overlord forces came for the seven geniuses, but no one expected that the seven of them would be so overbearing.
After watching how Guo Xu and Ouyang Hao humiliated Yang Fan, no one dared to take the test anymore. After all, they knew that it was futile even if they got through the test. Who dares to attempt the tests with the seven of them joining forces?
But under this tense atmosphere, Lin Yun actually stood up. Of course, this attracted everyoneâs attention. With baffled looks, the crowd watched Lin Yun as he headed for the Heavenly Demon Pavilionâs stage. They shook their heads with pity as they recalled Yang Fanâs outcome. In their view, this white-clothed swordsman would end up in an even more terrible state than Yang Fan.
âHeâs really courting death since he dares to tryâ¦â
âI donât think he can even get through the test. Heâll probably be killed by the statue,â sneered the Skymound Cityâs geniuses, especially those from the Qin Clan.
Under everyoneâs view, Lin Yun soared into the sky with no hesitation. When he soared into the sky, the stone statue came to life and unleashed a roar. But there was no change on Lin Yunâs face beneath the mask as he circulated the Azure Dragon Enneaform. Sixteen dragon runes began to squirm on his body as they unleashed a dragon roar.
The statue flew into the sky, shrouded in the crimson aura as it pushed its palm out at Lin Yun with a ferocious roar. The power contained in the statue was so terrifying that even Qin Xu threw up a mouthful of blood after bearing six palms. Additionally, it had killed a lot of people.
âItâs here!â The disciples of Skymound City lit up at this scene. When they saw that Lin Yun wasnât moving, they thought that he had been scared silly and they started to mock him.
When the stone statueâs palm was about to reach Lin Yun, Lin Yun finally made his move. Clenching his fist and pouring all sixteen dragon runes into his fist, he threw a powerful punch. Under this punch, cracks spread out on the stone statue and covered its entire body in the blink of an eye. Then, the stone statue broke into pieces under a huge explosion.
âThisâ¦â Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene and their jaws dropped. They were too shocked. The swordsman destroyed the stone statue with a single punch?
This scene even drew the attention of the other geniuses. Qing Ruoyou was also surprised by this scene while the Heavenly Demon Pavilionâs elders all wore a big smile. They didnât expect that there was such a genius in Skymound City aside from Chen Ziyu and Chu Muyan. This instantly made them rejoice.
As the cloud of stone fragments flew in the sky, Lin Yun landed on the stage before looking at Qin Xu and Ouyang Hao. This made them swallow their saliva as they could sense themselves being completely suppressed by the swordsmanâs gaze.
This left them dumbfounded because they initially wanted to break this swordsmanâs leg and make him kneel on the ground. But now, they no longer had the overbearing manner that they had previously. They were currently thinking of interacting with Lin Yun first.
âBrotherâ¦â Qin Xu and Ouyang Hao calmed themselves down before squeezing out a smile on their faces.
But Lin Yun clenched his fist with his thumb up before he turned it down, âTrash!â
This provocation was a blatant act of humiliation. This made everyone take in a cold breath as they were dumbfounded by the white-clothed swordsmanâs action. They were shocked by the fact that the swordsman dared to humiliate Qin Xu and Ouyang Hao in Skymound City, especially after Qin Xu and Ouyang Hao had cowered and tried to form a good relationship with him.
Qin Xu and Ouyang Haoâs faces became ugly with awkwardness written all over their faces. Qin Xu, who had a fiery temper, became enraged as he pounced over with a transformed right arm, âYou dare to provoke us? You donât know how death is spelled?!â
âARGHHHH!â But in the next second, Qin Xu released a howl as Lin Yunâs punch shattered Qin Xuâs palm. But Lin Yunâs attack didnât end there. His azure dragon energy stretched to Qin Xuâs shoulder before it finally stopped. This meant that Qin Xuâs arm had been crippled, which made everyone twitch.
âYou bastard, Iâll kill you!â Qin Xuâs face was distorted and his eyes were red from the terrifying killing aura. But an even more ruthless scene appeared. Before Qin Xu could even attack with his left hand, Lin Yun grabbed onto his hand and ripped his entire arm off.
âNo!â The Qin Clanâs elders outside the stage grew angry when they saw this scene and their eyes blazed with fire.
How could they accept Qin Xuâs arm getting ripped off? He was one of the seven geniuses, the representative of the Qin Clanâs younger generation, and the Qin Clanâs hope. So they immediately took action against the white-clothed swordsman.
âGet lost!â The person in charge of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion smiled sinisterly and sent everyone back. He was a middle-aged youth who laughed while he admired Lin Yun. He naturally couldnât let such a genius be affected by the Qin Clan. âThis is the recruitment of my Heavenly Demon Clan. Who the hell do you people think you are? Get lost!â
Throwing a palm out, the Qin Clanâs elder who was charging at the front was left half-dead. This left everyone trembling in fear as they didnât dare to move. But when they looked at Qin Xuâs situation, they couldnât help gnashing their teeth.
Right at this moment, Ouyang Hao moved as he snorted at Lin Yun. He unleashed a terrifying killing aura as he held onto his spear. This made everyoneâs eyes from the Qin Clan light up as they hoped that Ouyang Hao would kill the white-clothed swordsman to save Qin Xu.
Ouyang Haoâs spear moved with a tricky trajectory. He was waiting for the opportunity to attack, like a viper that wanted to claim its victimâs life. He sneered, âIt doesnât matter who you are, die!â
Ouyang Haoâs spear shined so brightly that the entire crowd felt stinging pain on their faces. Even those who were far away felt the pain.
The Skycloud Sectâs disciples and elders wore a smile as they could imagine the scene of the white-clothed swordsmanâs chest being pierced. Since the Qin Clan and Qin Xu couldnât do it, then their Skycloud Sect would protect the face of Skymound City!
But Lin Yun didnât panic under this situation as he sent Qin Xu flying with a kick. When Qin Xu fell onto the ground, he threw up another mouthful of blood.
Sending Qin Xu flying, he slowly stepped forward and his black hair fluttered in the wind. He seemed to be taking a stroll, but no one knew that he had already accumulated his xiantian sword intent to a terrifying height.
The Flower Burial Sword in his hand began to roar as it could sense Lin Yunâs hatred and rage. As a brilliant sword ray flew and echoed out, the sword ray clashed with Ouyang Haoâs spear. This attack cracked the spear..
The Skycloud Sectâs elders and disciples were dumbfounded. The sinister expression on Ouyang Haoâs face also froze. He quickly tossed the spear in his hand away and started to retreat.
But could he really escape? The Flower Burial Sword in Lin Yunâs hand instantly caught him and sliced him down.
Ouyang Hao released a miserable howl as his entire right arm was chopped off. But that wasnât all as Lin Yun stabbed his sword out once more. His sword pierced through Ouyang Haoâs chest, destroying the armour Ouyang Hao was wearing. Then, Ouyang Hao crashed into Qin Xu who was trying to get back on his feet.
âWho the hell are you!â Qin Xu gnashed his teeth and looked at the white-clothed swordsman coldly. He didnât recall offending a swordsman donned in white, nor did he have any impression of him. Ouyang Hao was also baffled.
âYou guys canât even recognize my voice? The two of you are really forgetful. Then again, I should already be dead in your hearts.â Lin Yun raised his head and removed the mask, revealing his face before everyone with the purple mark on his forehead attracting their attention.
This scene left everyone in Falling Aquatic Mountain dumbfounded before a commotion broke out. The white-clothed swordsman was actually Lin Yun. This was the same Lin Yun who was supposedly killed by Chen Ziyu. But the rumors turned out to be false since he was alive and well.
âNo! N-n-no! This isnât real!â Ouyang Hao and Qin Xuâs eyes squinted in fear as they began to tremble.
âRepent in hell!â As Lin Yunâs sword flew, two heads fell onto the ground. Lin Yunâs sword was so fast that they died before anyone could notice.
