The Sovereign's Ascension

Chapter 124 - Fight!

“Disciples of the Blood Cloud Sect, listen up! Capture Lin Yun immediately!” That man suddenly spoke out, leaving everyone in the surrounding perplexed.

When the two beside him followed his gaze, their faces changed.

Within the crowd, the young man who removed his hood looked exactly like the wanted portrait of the one who killed Yan Tianrui, Lin Yun!

In an instant, countless Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples charged over.

“Lin Yun?” Among the crowd, many people were shocked when they heard that name. Lin Yun’s reputation had spread far and wide recently in the Azure Sun County.

Lin Yun rose to fame when he had a Blood Bounty on his head and indirectly caused the Violet Flame City’s Kong Clan to be annihilated.

Soon after that, another piece of news stated that he died in the Heavenly Flame Peak. Just when everyone felt pity about Lin Yun’s death, another explosive story swept out. Not only was Lin Yun alive, but he even refined an Eighth Grade Lava Core and stole Mei Zihua’s Dragoncloud Fruit.

It had embarrassed Mei Zihua. Lin Yun ended up offending two of the overlord forces in Azure Sun County.

“Is that really Lin Yun?”

“It’s real! I saw him with my own eyes! He actually came here by himself!”

“But he’s in trouble now, he’s being targeted by Xue Tu…”

“Mei Zihua, Ming Ye, and Xue Tu are the strongest amongst their generation in the Azure Sun County. But Xue Tu’s means are the most fearsome and can strike fear in the heart of others!”

Discussions rang out with countless gazes directed at Lin Yun.

“You want to leave?” asked Xue Tu.

Swish!

Xue Tu snorted and took to the sky, releasing his terrifying aura.

Looking at Xue Tu charging over, the surrounding cultivators fled. This ended up creating a clearing around Lin Yun.

If these people had cleared out earlier, he would have been able to find that young lady. Half of the reason why Lin Yun looked for the young lady was for his curiosity and the other was to repay her. This was the reason why he was so excited when he saw her.

At the same time, he was also surprised to see her here. After all, she did not leave any clues behind when she left in a hurry at their last meeting.

He was grateful to her. If it wasn’t for her help, he might not have been able to take the step to improve. He wouldn’t have discovered the sword gleam that came along with his martial soul and his confidence for the Martial Dao would have been affected.

However, he didn’t have the luxury of time to think since Xue Tu was coming at him. Xue Tu’s hands were glowing red. He was using the commonly seen Xiantian Martial Technique of the Blood Cloud Sect, the Blood Cloud Hands.

However, it was utterly different in Xue Tu’s hands. The crimson radiance had condensed into a terrifying blood hand with five bony fingers. In the next second, a massive blood hand enveloped Lin Yun.

Xue Tu wore a sneer in midair and clenched his right fist, manipulating the blood hand to close. But Lin Yun did not panic even in the face of danger and released his aura. In that split second before the blood hand closed, Lin Yun made his move.

The golden cyclone in his body began to spin with his spiritual energy gathering in his palm. Lin Yun made a fist and threw out a punch.

Boom!

His punch surged forth with great power, exploding and destroying that blood hand.

When the blood hand slowly disappeared, Lin Yun’s figure gradually revealed a powerful aura that released from his body. His figure was like the rising sun, shining brightly. As the wind swept over, Lin Yun’s clothes fluttered and he smiled.

He stood calmly under the bright sunshine.

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

Disciples of the Blood Cloud Sect charged out. Standing behind them, Xue Tu waved his hand saying, “Just surrounding him will do. I’ll deal with him myself.”

“I’m curious about the kind of person you are to force the sect to issue the Blood Bounty for your head. I heard that even Mei Zihua suffered a loss by your hands.” Xue Tu’s voice was hoarse. He looked at Lin Yun calmly, like a demonic beast staring at its prey. His eyes gushed with excitement and greed.

“Why don’t you try it out for yourself?” Lin Yun smiled. Xue Tu might be strong, but he wasn’t afraid.

Lin Yun’s calmness left the spectators shocked. Xue Tu had been famous for a long time and he was known for his brutal methods.

Boom!

Both of their auras slowly spread out. Lin Yun’s aura was shining like the rising dawn, while Xue Tu’s aura was eerily cold as it flashed with crimson radiance.

Not only were the words different, but their auras took on two polar opposite extremes. Their auras clashed in the air only to be equally matched.

When the spectators saw this scene, their eyes glowed with expectation.

“It seems like you have some ability after all,” scoffed Xue Tu. Then, he turned into a streak of crimson ray and flew over.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the impact of his aura, the ground began to crack and a cloud of sandstone was raised. Carrying a majestic aura, Xue Tu’s hand grabbed at Lin Yun’s forehead with terrifying momentum.

Lin Yun’s eyes flashed coldly when he saw Xue Tu trying to take his life right from the start. Circulating his cultivation technique, his spiritual energy gushed out from his Dantian and he threw a punch out at Xue Tu.

Boom!

When the claw and punch collided, a spiritual energy shockwave burst out.

Xue Tu sneered, his crimson claw grabbed Lin Yun’s fist firmly while his eerie aura pierced into Lin Yun’s arm.

Plop! Plop!

Lin Yun suddenly felt a stinging pain coming from his arm. It was caused by the blood spikes.

“Not bad, but not enough!” smiled Lin Yun. In the next second, his spiritual energy, which had merged with the Eighth Grade Lava Core, surged. The blood spikes reacted like ice meeting lava and started to break.

Boom!

When he infused his spiritual energy into his punch, he instantly blasted Xue Tu away.

“Undying Vajra Seal!” roared Lin Yun as he started to form seals after blasting Xue Tu away. His golden cyclone started to shrink down in size. Lin Yun’s aura was retracting at an incredible speed.

When the golden cyclone was concentrated to a certain point, Lin Yun pushed his palms forth. His spiritual energy that was concentrated to its limits exploded.

“Flaming Blood Chop!” Xue Tu narrowed his eyes with a grave expression. The crimson radiance on him surged and he retaliated.

Boom!

Blood flames manifested into a sharp blade and slashed down at the golden ripple, but it couldn’t shatter it. When the remaining energy from Lin Yun’s attack surged at him, Xue Tu was forced to unleash waves of attack, sending palm attacks at the remaining energy to destroy it.

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

He kept retreating as he tried to exhaust the Golden Vajra Seal. He might not be injured, but it was humiliating for him to be pushed back with so many people watching.

Shortly after, a discussion sounded out from the surrounding. The surrounding cultivators had excitement flashing in their eyes. They were shocked by what they had just witnessed; Lin Yun had sent Xue Tu flying in three moves!

“Xue Tu, don’t embarrass yourself. Leave this little bastard to me, Mei Zihua!” A figure descended from the sky and flew towards Lin Yun just when Xue Tu wanted to attack.

Breaking Arms Fist!

Mei Zihua had already noticed Lin Yun and he couldn’t contain his surging killing intent from desiring to attack. So when he saw Xue Tu blasted away, he immediately grabbed onto the opportunity and attacked.

The Golden Flame Sect’s cultivation technique was known for being overbearing. Once it was executed, it would be impossible to stop. Mei Zihua had brought out 99% of his strength in his attack.

Lin Yun was caught by surprise and was forced to face Mei Zihua head-on. In the blink of an eye, he exchanged over ten moves with the latter.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Whenever their punches connected, they would leave a crack on the ground. The entire region outside the valley was silent except for the echoes of colliding punches.

Their collisions caused exclamations in the surrounding and everyone had a deep understanding of the Golden Flame Sect’s fist technique at this moment.

“Little bastard, weren’t you arrogant back then?” provoked Mei Zihua while throwing out his punches. He had gone into seclusion to bring his Golden Flame Art to the fourth stage and his strength had undergone a complete transformation.

This was also the reason why he could obtain a crushing advantage over Lin Yun. His every punch would blast Lin Yun away by over ten meters. On the other hand, Mei Zihua’s aura would visibly grow while he fought.

However, Lin Yun was indifferent. Mei Zihua’s attack had caught him by surprise. He never expected that even after losing the Dragoncloud Fruit, Mei Zihua still managed to make progress in his Golden Flame Art. But that didn’t mean that he would lose to Mei Zihua.

Combining Tough and Soft!

Lin Yun roared and started circulating the soft energy within his body.

Boom!

Not only would his punch get stronger, but the energy remaining would also cycle endlessly. He immediately gained his footing in the fight when he threw out his punch. Additionally, the excess energy in his punch rippled out and into Mei Zihua’s body.

Lin Yun wore a smile because he was confident in it. Overly tough would make it easy to break, while excessively soft would be powerless. So the combination of tough and soft was the ultimate path!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After Lin Yun regained his footing, he exchanged ten punches with Mei Zihua before the latter couldn’t take it anymore.

Mei Zihua’s internal organs trembled from Lin Yun’s energy rippling into his body.

As their punches clashed again, Mei Zihua’s face changed. He could no longer suppress the energy within his body and was blasted a few hundred meters away by Lin Yun’s punch. When he fell onto the ground, his collision created a huge commotion. Mei Zihua’s face changed and he did not dare to move. He focused on suppressing the energy within his body.

Lin Yun was having a tough time facing Xue Tu and Mei Zihua. He had to use his sword or he wouldn’t last long. As he tossed his cloak out, his sword box fell onto the ground.

Looking at the two, Lin Yun sneered with one hand on the sword box, “Since you guys want to be shameless, then don’t bother stopping. I think the two of you should come at me at the same time!”

Rustle!

His words immediately caused a huge commotion. Lin Yun was provoking two of the strongest cultivators of the younger generation in the Azure Sun County. Moreover, Lin Yun had proved himself by fending off the two of them earlier.

Mei Zihua and Xue Tu’s faces were unsightly. They were both arrogant people, but they were being humiliated by Lin Yun now. It was something that had never occurred to them in the past.
