Chapter 322

Who could block the might of a cosmic artifact? When Lin Yun swung the flag, it brought along a violent aura. No one expected that Lin Yun would launch his attack so directly in the blink of an eye.

The faces of the Eight Vajra changed as they retreated without any hesitation. When the dual moon scythe landed on the ground, it raised a pillar of flames. Even the ground trembled from this attack with flames rising like a volcano eruption.

Even though the Eight Vajra retreated quickly, they were still affected by the ripples. The eight of them groaned out with blood oozing out of their lips with their faces drained.

“A cosmic artifact!” The eight of them had fear in their eyes. They suddenly recalled that Lin Yun had a cosmic artifact after winning the Alliance-Union Battle as a champion. It was simply a pipe dream for the eight of them to teach Lin Yun how to behave.

“Is that the power of a cosmic artifact?”

“Holy shit, that’s just an attack… No wonder Lin Yun is so confident about himself!”

“Hehe, there’s a show to watch now. The Eight Vajra has always been arrogant and bullies others. But they met a tough opponent today.” The surrounding disciples looked excited. When they felt the heat, they took several steps back with lingering fear in their eyes.

“I don’t believe that he can use the cosmic artifact with his cultivation!” Fu Lingtian’s eyes flashed with violence. He gnashed his teeth, “Let’s go at him together! Since we’ve already come this far, then let’s settle our grudge with him!”

“Kill!” The Eight Vajra was used to being arrogant in the sect, and they’ve never felt so humiliated. Especially not before the other disciples of the Gentlemen Union. After they recovered from the initial shock, the murderous aura around them surged.

With Fu Lingtian taking the lead, the eight of them attacked Lin Yun with origin energy fluctuation spreading out. However, Lin Yun faced their attacks calmly. It was still too much for him to utilize the Scarlet Trueflame. But he had no trouble maintaining the close-combat mode. At the very least, it was more than enough for him to deal with these eight people.

The Eight Vajra came quickly and flew out quickly as well. On the other hand, Lin Yun stood firmly on the ground swinging the Scarletflame War Flag. In his hands, the might of the cosmic artifact was fully brought out, easily dissolving the attacks directed at him.

The Eight Vajra did whatever they could do, but they couldn’t gain any advantage against Lin Yun. When Lin Yun was fending off two attacks directed at him, Fu Lingtian roared as he charged over with his attack.

However, Lin Yun snorted coldly and broke the attack forcibly. The tip of the war flag then landed on Fu Lingtian’s chest, which produced a metallic collision. Fu Lingtian’s clothes ripped off and revealed black armor underneath it.

Fu Lingtian ignored the cosmic artifact’s impact, and he sneered, “What can you do to me? This is a transcendent grade profound artifact, and it can resist the attack of your cosmic artifact ten times!”

Fu Lingtian’s confidence boosted when he saw that Lin Yun’s attack failed to penetrate through his armor. He charged forth once more trying to drag down Lin Yun and create opportunity for his companions.

Lin Yun’s eyes glowed when he saw the armor. It looks like even the lackey of the Wang Clan was pretty well off. After all, defensive profound artifacts were rare to find. But it was another question after encountering the Scarletflame War Flag.

Lin Yun stabbed out with the flag and it struck the black armor. His attack produced a crack and the armor that Fu Lingtiaan was so proud about shattered into pieces. At the same time, Fu Lingtian’s ribs shattered and he was sent flying out while throwing out a mouthful of blood.

“Let’s finish it.” Lin Yun’s aura exploded and left seven afterimages in the air. Every single strike landed on the seven other attackers. None of them remained standing when he was done. Without any changes on his face, Lin Yun slowly approached Fu Lingtian, who was struggling to get up on his feet.

“Junior Brother Lin, let’s discuss things…” Fu Lingtian was terrified as he trembled. He no longer had the arrogance from before.

The Scarletflame War Flag returned to its original form as Lin Yun placed it back into the interspatial pouch. Looking at Fu Lingtian, Lin Yun spoke out, “It’s true that the Great Qin Empire isn’t ruled by the Sword Firmament Pavilion, but clowns like you have no right to be arrogant in front of me in the Sword Firmament Pavilion.”

Then, Lin Yun lashed out his leg twice on Fu Lingtian’s knees, drawing a loud cry from the latter.

“Kneel well.” Lin Yun left without turning back.

“Big Brother!” The seven other Eight Vajra got on their feet in fear as they wanted to help Fu Lingtian on his feet. But all Lin Yun did was pausing his footsteps. That alone sent a chill down the seven of their spines and they no longer dared to move. They waited for Lin Yun to leave before they helped Fu Lingtian up and fled.

The spectators in the surroundings laughed when they witnessed this scene. Many of them felt satisfied.

“That feels great! Lin Yun really took it out on them!”

“Haha, just look at how terrified they were!”

“They deserve it. They should be punished a long time ago. In the past, people feared the Gentlemen Union and did nothing. But they’re unlucky to run into Lin Yun.”

“Lin Yun has genuinely risen. He’s not any inferior to Bai Lixuan now. I’m really looking forward to the fight of these two monstrous geniuses when Bai Lixuan comes out.”

“The king never meets. After all, there’s no way the mountain can hold two tigers. There’s no doubt that there will be a fight between them.” Everyone continued their discussion even after Lin Yun left.

But they finally witnessed Lin Yun’s strength today. Without the cosmic artifact, Lin Yun could defeat three of the Eight Vajra. This meant that his strength was in the top hundredth on the Earth Ranking, or even higher.

There hadn’t been any changes to the top hundredth on the Mortal Ranking for a long time, and it was shocking for Lin Yun to have such achievements after he was just promoted to an inner disciple. Looking at Lin Yun, it naturally reminded many people of Bai Lixuan.

When Lin Yun returned to the Locket Mountain, he greeted those he was familiar with and headed to Xin Yan’s residence. But coincidentally, Xin Jue was also around. The siblings were casually chatting, and Lin Yun naturally took his leave since it wasn’t appropriate for him to interrupt.

“Why are you leaving? Stay behind. Big Brother was just talking about you earlier,” laughed Xin Yan while she dragged Lin Yun back.

Talking about him? Lin Yun couldn’t help feeling curious and looked at Xin Jue. Lin Yun was only filled with admiration with this person on the Sky Ranking. So he couldn’t help feeling curious about what they were talking about.

Although Xin Jue’s aura still felt unfathomable, it felt different compared to before. Xin Jue’s aura was more condensed now, which gave Lin Yun enormous pressure.

“Big Brother Xin Jue, you made a breakthrough?” Lin Yun asked.

“I reached the tenth stage of the Profound Martial Realm half a month ago. There have always been rumors that I’m inferior to the eight titles. And now, I’m finally able to contend with them.” Xin Jue nodded with a smile.

He might sound humble, but Lin Yun could sense Xin Jue’s difference from his confidence.

“You just fought?” Xin Jue frowned when he looked at Lin Yun. He could sense the disruption in Lin Yun’s aura.

Lin Yun nodded his head and told them honestly what just happened. When Xin Yan heard what happened, his face sank, “It’s good to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they’ll think that you’re a pushover.”

On the other hand, Xin Jue’s eyes flashed. When he looked at Lin Yun again, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes. He finally spoke out after a long while, “I was still worried about you earlier. But it seems that there’s nothing for me to worry about you.”

“Worry about me?” Lin Yun was baffled.

“I’m here to look for you. Bloomphoenix Princess’s birthday will be seven days from now, and all sects will send a representative over. Senior Brother Ye is in seclusion, so I’ll be leading the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s party,” said Xin Jue.

Lin Yun knew that the ‘Senior Brother Ye’ Xin Jue mentioned was the first on the Sky Ranking, Ye Feng.

“Guardian Plum requested me to bring you along to widen your horizon, and there will be many experts. I was just worried that you might suffer since you’ve just joined the inner sect. But it looks like my concern is all for nothing,” explained Xin Jue.

“Speaking of which, it has been five years since Bloomphoenix Princess held a birthday celebration. I wonder what it will look like,” smiled Xin Yan.

Bloomphoenix Princess was known to be the Great Qin Empire’s Bella. Lin Yun felt that it would be a good idea for him to get to know her. But it was just as Xin Jue said. It would be unavoidable for conflicts in the gathering. After all, everyone in the Great Qin Empire wants to be the best, and it was also human nature. Lin Yun had a feeling that the birthday banquet would be interesting.

Lin Yun chatted with the two of them. Aside from the birthday banquet, Lin Yun also sought Xin Jue’s advice on cultivation, and the latter would explain to him patiently. When Lin Yun left, he finally found a direction in the Aquaselenic Sword.
