The Sovereign's Ascension

All three wandering cultivators were dead, including Xue Feng. They were still kneeling to Xue Feng just a moment ago, but Xue Feng had been killed by someone they never imagined, the person who was ridiculed as a coward by Bu Chen and Xiao Ran. Lin Yun relied on his sword to kill the infamous Bloodbone Wandering Cultivator in a frontal confrontation.

“Didn’t he have a quasi-cosmic artifact?” Bu Chen and Xiao Ran were both confused. They had experienced how powerful was the quasi-cosmic artifact Xue Feng was wearing. Even the Dragon-Tiger Fist and Moonlight Flow couldn’t deal any damage to Xue Feng. Their attacks were no different from tickling.

Even the Dragon Painting that Bu Chen was so confident in was nothing before Xue Feng. He was greatly humiliated, sent flying with a single punch before he could execute his attack. In comparison, Lin Yun had only used one sword to split Xue Feng along with his quasi-cosmic artifact into two.

The surrounding was quiet and no one dared to speak. Everyone looked at Lin Yun dumbfoundedly. They still couldn’t believe what they just saw.

On the other hand, Lin Yun let out a satisfying breath. This was the most satisfying battle ever since his journey out of the Sword Firmament Pavilion. He was able to push the Seven Profound Steps, Dragon-Tiger Fist, and Overlord Sword to the limit. At the same time, he made some improvements in the Overlord Sword.

But it was a pity that his Seven Profound Steps didn’t reach greater mastery; he was still a step away from forming the Golden Crow Seal. Furthermore, he also never experienced such great exhaustion ever since his Iris Sword Sutra reached the seventh stage. He was only left with one-tenth of the origin energy.

It’s all thanks to you. Lin Yun looked at the Flower Burial Sword in his hand. After the Flower Burial Sword rose in the ranking, it was comparable to a cosmic artifact. If it wasn’t for this sword, Lin Yun wouldn’t have been able to cut down Xue Feng so easily.

And if Lin Yun couldn’t cut down Xue Feng with the last attack, then he would be the one dead instead. Placing the Flower Burial Sword back to the sword box, Lin Yun picked up the devil mask left behind by Xue Feng.

Lin Yun was surprised when he picked up the mask. There weren’t any damages on the mask even after it was hit by his origin energy. The back of the mask also had spiritual runes engraved on it, which made it seem mysterious.

Is this a secret treasure? Let’s study it when I go back… Lin Yun kept the mask and retrieved the two wandering cultivator’s interspatial pouches.

As for Xue Feng, his wealth naturally goes without saying. No one could imagine how many treasures were stored in the pouch, and it would be a great wealth if they could obtain one-tenth of it. But now, it all went to Lin Yun.

“Stop!” Bu Chen called out seeing that Lin Yun was going to keep Xue Feng’s interspatial pouch.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Yun looked at Bu Chen in confusion.

Bu Chen and Xiao Ran exchanged a glance before they both nodded and walked forth. Bu Chens snorted, “You’re pretty bold to take everything for yourself. Are you disregarding us?”

“We fought Xue Feng before you came, and who would you be able to kill him if we hadn’t exhausted him?” Xiao Ran continued. When they took the lead, the Gao Clan and other sects’ disciples all fell into thoughts and they soon figured out why those two were doing this.

Lin Yun was strong, but he definitely had great exhaustion after his battle with the three wandering cultivators. So they were confident that Lin Yun wouldn’t be able to execute any powerful moves like the Demon Vanquishing Seal for the time being.

On the other hand, they had been resting during this period of time and some of them even recovered at their peak. So they naturally didn’t have a reason to fear Lin Yun, especially Bu Chen and Xiao Ran. If those two worked together, they were more than enough to deal with Lin Yun.

“That’s right. What they said makes sense. You slipped and only returned after we fought with them!”

“Hand out the interspatial pouches to divide them evenly!”

“Lin Yun, you should be tactful. Don’t force us to do something we don’t wish to.”

With Bu Chan and Xiao Ran taking the lead, the Gao Clan and other sects’ disciples all became bolder. After all, that was three wandering cultivator’s interspatial pouches that they were talking about. So it was natural for them to be tempted by the wealth.

“Sorry, but I’ve never seen the battle you guys talked about. I only saw how you guys begged for mercy. Furthermore, people like Young Master Xiao and Young Master Bu even went as far as burying your heads in your trousers. So what battle are you talking about?” Lin Yun replied in an indifferent tone.

“What did you say?!”

“Do you dare to repeat that again?” Bu Chen and Xiao Ran raged as they looked at Lin Yun coldly.

“Why try to lie to yourself? You guys can’t understand my words?” Lin Yun looked at the two of them with ridicule deep in his eyes.

He never wished that they would be grateful to him for saving their lives, but he never imagined that they would change their faces upon knowing that he hadn’t recovered his origin energy. Then again, trash would always be trash.

Cultivators had to be righteous and not have their hearts tainted with greed. Otherwise, how would they be any different from demonic beasts? Right now, Xiao Ran and Bu Chen were no different from animals.

“You bastard, are you courting death? Do you believe that I’ll chop you into two right now? Who the hell do you think you are to look down on us? Who here will speak up for you if Brother Xiao and I killed you here?” Bu Chen’s face became sinister.

“Young Master Bu, Young Master Xiao, why are you guys still talking to him? Let’s just attack together!”

“Why should we give him any face if he’s courting death?”

“He simply deserves to die!”

Everyone had killing intent flashing on their faces as they surrounded Lin Yun.
