The Sovereign's Ascension Chapter 292

Chapter 292

Everyone was surprised by how Lin Yun surpa.s.sed everyone. Even Gu Yunfei who was taking the lead earlier was shocked. But the reality was right before him, and he didn’t have a choice but to believe in it.

You dare to s.n.a.t.c.h my Imperial Sword Herb? You’re courting death!” Gu Feiyun swung his greatsword. For a moment, his sword even broke apart the pressure coming from the Imperial Sword Herb.

“It’s the Shattercloud Sword!” Many people exclaimed out when they saw this attack. Gu Yunfei was ranked in the top ten, and he was famed for the explosive power in his force. After all, there wasn’t even a single cultivator who could take a sword from him earlier. Regardless of Nie Tian, Han Feng, Xiao Feng, or Wei Songhan, none of them were confident of taking his sword.

If they had to face Gu Yunfei, they either take advantage of their numbers or wait for Gu Yunfei to be exhausted. Gu Yunfei’s sword was directed at Lin Yun, and Lin Yun didn’t even have the time to turn around.

“Kill him!” Xiao Feng and Wei Songhan both had a smear of violence in their eyes. It was a rare opportunity, so they both leaped into the air. They were intending to catch Lin Yun by surprise and give the second blow.

“We can’t let him live!” Nie Tian and Han Feng also reached a mutual agreement. Gu Yunfei was alone, but Lin Yun had three alliance-unions behind him. So Lin Yun would be harder to deal with if he took the Imperial Sword Herb, and this was the best opportunity since Gu Yunfei was attacking him.

The two instantly drew their swords and unleashed their attacks right after Xiao Feng and Wei Songhan. With that, the five strongest disciples on the island were going after Lin Yun. This made Lin Qiushan and the party anxious.

“He has become the public enemy,” sighed Gu Beixuan. The act of how Lin Yun surpa.s.sed everyone earlier had successfully attracted everyone’s attention.

“Big Sister, think of something!” said Lin Yan anxiously.

However, Lin Qiushan didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know the Seven Profound Steps, and even if she did, there was no way her Seven Profound Steps could reach Zhong Yunxiao’s level. But for some reason, he had confidence in Zhong Yunxiao. She had a feeling that this person wouldn’t put himself in danger so easily, and he must have his strength hidden.

“Interesting…” Lin Yun was calm beneath the mask unlike everyone else. He then decided to deal with the sword first. But it was a pity that he couldn’t use the Dragon-Tiger Fist. Otherwise, he could show Gu Yunfei the true meaning of domineering.

“You’re not dodging?” Gu Yunfei sneered. He was expecting Lin Yun to try and avoid the attack. But since Lin Yun was courting death, then he couldn’t be blamed.

“Why should I dodge?” Lin Yun raised his hand and flicked his finger. A sword gleam flew out from Lin Yun’s finger, and Gu Yunfei’s face turned pale under the strong impact. He felt that he was losing control of his sword and he took several steps.

“Sent flying with a flick?” Everyone on the island had their mouths widened. That was Gu Yunfei, ranked on the eighteenth that they were talking about. But he was so easily sent flying with a single flick? Was there anything more exaggerating than this? Gu Yunfei’s domineering sword actually seemed like a kitten before Lin Yun’s sword aura. Just how did he manage to do it?

Lin Then then turned and his face sank. He was starting to get annoyed with Xiao Feng and Wei Songhan. When Xiao Feng and Wei Songhan saw how Lin Yun sent Gu Yunfei flying with a flick of his finger, their faces turned pale. But it was too late for them to pull their attacks back right now. In the end, they could only gnash their teeth and go with it.

“Get lost!” Lin Yun roared and stomped his foot. His origin energy and dracophant energy fused together. His stomp caused the ground to tremble, and even the sharp gale shrouding the island froze for an instance.

Before Xiao Feng and Wei Songhan could even get close, they were sent flying while throwing out blood. As for Nie Tian and Han Feng, their faces turned pale from the fright. They immediately withdrew their attacks, ignoring the backlash from it. When they landed on the ground, they only managed to stabilize their bodies after three steps.

He first sent Gu Yunfei with a single flick before sending Xiao Feng and Wei Songhan out with a stomp. Lin Yun didn’t have too much concern. He shocked everyone by showing his strength briefly.

“Go at him together!” Gu Yunfei roared.

“Kill!” Xiao Feng and Wei Songhan wiped the traces of blood off their lips and threw out their strongest moves without any hesitation. Nie Tian and Han Feng also gnashed their teeth and made the same decision. None of them were willing to give up the Imperial Sword Herb so easily.

Lin Yun was feeling helpless when he saw the five coming at him again. If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t want to reveal his ident.i.ty, he could easily kill them with a single punch from the Dragon-Tiger Fist. But since that was the case, then let the Iris Flower blossom!

Lin Yun closed his eyes and the Iris Flower in his Dantian blossomed. The power felt like an explosive volcano in his body. At this moment, Lin Yun had unleashed the pinnacle seventh stage without holding back.

When he opened his eyes, the Iris Sacred Flame blazed fiercely. The cold gleam in Lin Yun’s eyes made the five tremble. For some reason, they finally felt like retreating.

Lin Yun threw out a punch, accompanied by boundless sword intent that erupted like a volcano. A sword gleam shot out, which looked like a dragon in the eyes of the five. Before the five could even react in time, they were sent flying and covered with blood. When they fell onto the ground, they struggled to kneel onto the ground before looking at Lin Yun with shock.

“You guys are the outer sect’s elites. Don’t try and cross my bottomline anymore. Someone will die if they do again.” Lin Yun waved his hand and headed towards the Imperial Sword Herb under everyone’s dumbfounded gaze.

Outer sect’s elites? Gu Yunfei and the four were kneeling on the ground feeling bitter in their hearts. That sounded like ridicule to them. If they could be considered elites, then what would Zhong Yunxiao be?

Zhong Yunxiao was too unbelievably strong. At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Yun with their thoughts frozen.

When Lin Yun turned around, he looked at the Imperial Sword Herb with a grave expression. Although he only had a thousand meters left, he knew that it wouldn’t be easy. At the same time, there were also others in the same position as Lin Yun in the six other designated locations. All of them looked nervous, and they were relying on their cultivation, sword intent, or physique to proceed.

“A mere herb dares to call yourself imperial? I’ll see what you can do!” The dracophant energy appeared on Lin Yun’s body. The gale within a thousand meters was like a ferocious beast. But when Lin Yun was only five hundred meters away, the sword gale looked so real. It was tough for Lin Yun to continue forth even with the Dracophant Battle Physique. His blood would splatter with every step.

Not only him but those in the six other designated locations as well. Regardless of Chu Haoyu, Jiang Feng, or Ye Xiu, they were all under great pressure.

Lin Yun looked at the Imperial Sword Herb with deep thoughts. He knew that he would have to suffer heavy injuries if he continued forth. But for some reason, his origin energy was recovering quickly.

Lin Yun was shocked to realize the exhausted origin energy was actually recovering quickly without the help of pellets or spiritual jades. He looked at the Imperial Sword Herb and his eyes lit up. Could it be that the Iris Sword Sutra could absorb the sword intent in the sword gale?

That’s right! That must be the case! The sword gale came from the Imperial Sword Herb, so it was also a form of energy. At the same time, Lin Yun laughed in his heart and circulated the Iris Sword Sutra.

The sword gale suddenly weakened when the boundless sword intent poured into the Iris Flower in his Dantian, replenis.h.i.+ng his origin energy. A smile rose on his lips while Lin Yun tried to suppress his joy. Suddenly, the last five hundred meters became easy. Not only so, but his cultivation also started to increase with every step, and it seemed that the fourth stage’s bottleneck was breaking.

Lin Yun arrived before the Imperial Sword Herb within the blink of an eye since there wasn’t any obstruction and plucked the herb. In the next second, the sword gale in the surroundings disappeared. Meanwhile, Chu Haoyu and the rest in the other designated locations were still holding on bitterly.

The observation platform exploded when they saw one of the seven rays disappearing. This meant that someone managed to take the first Imperial Sword Herb!

“Haha, there’s an outcome! It must be Chu Haoyu! Who else could it be aside from him?” Bai Ting laughed. The other elders also smiled as they looked at Luo Feng while thinking of the 5,000 second-grade spiritual jades.

How could Lin Yun possibly obtain the first Imperial Sword Herb? On the Burial Sword Peak, a person was riding on a Sword Condor. The elder landed on the observation platform and immediately rushed towards the elders.

“Is there an outcome?” The leaders of the various alliance-unions became nervous and looked at the elders' location. Everyone wanted to know who took the first Imperial Sword Herb.

“It’s naturally Chu Haoyu,” replied w.a.n.g Yan as he walked over casually.

“Report! The first person obtaining the Imperial Sword Herb has appeared,” said the Elder who came from the Burial Sword Peak.

“Go ahead,” said Bai Ting as he drank his tea.

“The first who obtained the Imperial Sword Herb is the outer disciple by the name of Zhong Yunxiao.”

The cup in Bai Ting’s hand fell onto the ground. It wasn’t Chu Haoyu? Since when was there someone by the name of Zhong Yunxiao in the outer sect? The first to obtain the Imperial Sword herb wasn’t Chu Haoyu, Ye Xiu, or Jiang Feng, but someone that no one heard of?

Bai Ting was dumbfounded along with all the elders and leaders of the various alliance-unions. So who was Zhong Yunxiao?
