Chapter 323
The back of the Sword Firmament Pavilion was decorated with a mountain range. It was known as Extermination Mountain Range. The mountain range was famous in Heavenly Qin County. The three other sects were also built by the borders of the mountain range, with their location being the only difference.
The Extermination Mountain Range was filled with demonic beasts, and the mountain range was so massive that it was connected to a few surrounding empires.
Many disciples would train themselves there, hunting demonic beasts, practicing martial techniques, or accumulating bloodlust. But most of them would stay by the borders due to the dangers inside the mountain range. The core region of the mountain range was somewhere that not even the sect’s elders with cultivation in the Violet Palace Realm dared to step in.
Furthermore, it was also shrouded in a miasma throughout the years, which formed into a poisonous barrier. Beastial roars could also be heard from time to time. It was a gorgeous scene when sunlight shone on the poisonous miasma; it looked as though there was a rainbow surrounding the miasma.
The miasma was one of the reasons why no disciples dared to step in. They wouldn’t be able to last long in the miasma if their cultivation was lacking, not to mention that it was fatal if they stayed in there for too long.
Within the poisonous miasma, Lin Yun stood on a lone peak with his hands behind his back. He didn’t rest after bidding his farewell with the siblings and left on the Dragon-Blooded Horse.
The birthday banquet will be seven days from now. Lin Yun naturally couldn’t resort to normal means if he wanted to make some progress in the Aquaselenic Sword. This was the reason why Lin Yun had to defy logic and find a dangerous place to practice his sword technique; this was why he chose the Extermination Mountain Range.
Before he knew it, three days had already passed. Lin Yun had been practicing the Aquaselenic Sword throughout the three days without any rest. The transcendent spiritual martial technique was impressive, and it displayed astonishing might upon reaching initial mastery.
But it was just like what Tang Tong had said. The strength would fluctuate, which made this sword technique odd. Anyone else would curse when they encountered this and try to find an alternate sword technique. But Lin Yun spent the last three days comprehending this sword technique.
“The wind is formless, the cloud is endless; the mountain is majestic, the water is shapeless.” Lin Yun vaguely sensed that the fluctuation in the Aquaselenic Sword wasn’t its flaw, but its merit instead. It had the loofiness of a mountain, and shapeless like water. It could contain anything.
There must be a trick behind the Aquaselenic Sword, and it wasn’t what Tang Tong said. Tang Tong managed to stabilize the fluctuation after reaching greater mastery, but it was weaker than other transcendent spiritual sword techniques. This meant that Tang Tong must’ve made a mistake somewhere.
Lin Yun’s gaze fell upon the poisonous miasma a thousand meters away. There were two shadows clashing within the miasma, and the intensity of their fight caused a huge commotion.
A demonic beast tore apart the poisonous miasma, knocking down dozens of towering trees, and appeared before Lin Yun. This demonic beast was covered in black fur. It looked extremely ugly, but it was thirty meters in height. It had crimson sinister fangs and violet pupils.
“It’s the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf, a pinnacle sixth stage demonic beast.” A clear wind blew past and the ground trembled. A beast way larger than the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf appeared. It had the shape of a leopard blazing with flames staring at the wolf.
Its gaze had contempt when it swept past Lin Yun. Letting out a roar, the fire energy in the atmosphere gathered towards Lin Yun under its roar. When it was about to approach, a dazzling fireball descended, releasing a massive heatwave into the surroundings.
Lin Yun’s eyes glowed. He now knew why the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf lost. It was the Demonrunic Leopard, a rare demonic beast with excellent control over fire elements.
“Are you threatening me with this measly fireball?” Lin Yun shook his head. “I’m not here to take advantage.”
The Demonrunic Leopard must’ve thought that Lin Yun was here to take advantage of the situation, trying to snatch its prey. Lin Yun was here to practice his sword and test his comprehension of the Aquaselenic Sword that he practiced for the past three days.
Origin energy fluctuated as a dragon and tiger roar echoed in the mountain peak. Lin Yun balled his fists together and smashed the fireball apart. When the fireball was smashed apart, it blew up like fireworks. This shocked the two demonic beasts as they turned to look at Lin Yun.
A youth stood at the top of the mountain. The Crimsonblood Fiendwolf had fear flashing across its pupils. Its instinct told it that this youth was even more dangerous than the Demonrunic Leopard, and it would be killed if it was careless.
Even the Demonrunic Leopard who had disdain in its eyes earlier became serious. The two demonic beasts seemed to have formed an alliance silently.
Flames roared on the Demonrunic Leopard. The leopard suddenly charged forth like a meteorite streak. On the other hand, the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf also began to charge over like a bolt of lightning.
“You guys are just in time!” Lin Yun summoned the Flower Burial Sword. Drawing it out from the scabbard, Lin Yun swung his sword at the Demonrunic Leopard, sending it flying out. The shockwave from this attack caused cracks on the ground.
The Crimsonblood Fiendwolf took this advantage to swing its claws over. Lin Yun gently moved amongst the shattered rocks in the air with great agility while retaliating with his sword. After Lin Yun resolved the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf’s attack, he dived down with the Seven Profound Steps.
He swung his sword like a tsunami, which caught the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf by surprise. It was startled by the might of Lin Yun’s sword as it backed down. Lin Yun’s attack didn’t deal any fatal attacks on the wolf, but it left a huge cut on its body.
When Lin Yun landed on the ground, the fallen leaves flew about. Right at this moment, the Demonrunic Leopard charged over once more along with waves of heatwaves. The blazing temperature even distorted the air, burning up the oxygen which made it hard to breathe.
Lin Yun swung his sword backward. But just when he was about to stab out, the aura in his sword changed. If his attack on the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf was like a tidal wave, then this sword was like a small creek.
But there weren't any changes on Lin Yun’s face. The wounds on his body were left when he tried to comprehend the Aquaselenic Sword in battle. Over the past three days, he was already used to the fluctuation in his sword. But right now, he wanted to test out what he learned.
When the sword fell on the Demonrunic Leopard, Lin Yun was knocked away. This made the Demonrunic Leopard shocked because Lin Yun’s attack was a lot weaker than before. But before the Demonrunic Leopard recovered from its shock, Lin Yun charged over. He was like a small creek flowing. The sword might be weak, but he kept swinging it around and left wounds on the leopard.
His attacks were endless, and after ten-odd attacks, the sword energy left in the leopard’s body began to converge and tore a huge wound on the leopard. The leopard let out a loud wail in pain as it rolled on the ground.
Suddenly, a violent aura swept over with the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf charging over.
“The sky is full of leaves, with sounds soft like the rain. Clouds and moon becoming water flowing into the sword!” Lin Yun swung his sword, annihilating everything in his path. This sword was like the moon and clouds reflected in the water. Compared to the small creek earlier, this attack was filled with dominance.
The sword aura and the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf’s claws clashed together. In the next second, the black claws shattered while the power behind Lin Yun’s sword maintained. When the sword cut through, the wolf was split into two.
When the Demonrunic Leopard finally got on its feet and saw the Crimsonblood Fiendwolf’s corpse, it was terrifying and fled. It had a powerful defense, and there was no way an ordinary sword aura could harm it. But Lin Yun’s sword aura was weird. It was endless like spring’s rain. By the time the leopard noticed it, it was already too late. It had never seen such a weird sword technique before and fled when it saw the wolf’s miserable death.
“I didn’t say that you can leave! Converging River!” Lin Yun ran fiercely with the ground trembling from his footsteps. His sword aura was boundless like the ocean, overlapping themselves and destroying all the surrounding trees. Lin Yun stabbed his sword out before he sheathed his sword. When the Flower Burial Sword returned to its sheath, the Demonrunic Leopard was swallowed up by the sword aura before it could even cry out.
