Chapter 58
58 Sword Saint Yagyu Ichiken, Hunting God
“No–”
General Lin Geyu’s eyes were wide open, and they quickly became blood-shot. There was a faint expression of disbelief on his sharp face.
Fragmented voices came from the illusory shadow’s end.
Lin Sen could vaguely hear a woman crying and another young man roaring angrily.
They seemed to be on the verge of collapse because of Blood Seven’s death.
“Alright, alright, you evil creature!”
General Lin Geyu abandoned all his sorrows in a moment. The illusory figure suddenly stood up and approached Lin Sen. His brows were tightly knitted and his eyes were bloodshot. Clearly, he was furious as he shouted.
“From today onwards, your photo will be hung on the wanted posters in the Southern Yong War Zone. The names of you and your family will also appear on the mercenaries’ mission board!”
“I will pay the most expensive price to get the mercenaries to take you and your fam…”
Crack-
Lin Sen pierced and broke the jade pendant on Blood Seven’s chest with a straight face.
“You don’t have to come to me!
“It won’t be long before I personally arrive at the Southern Yong War Zone and confront you in public. I’ll ruin your reputation!”
“You…”
After losing the medium, the General’s illusory figure quickly disappeared.
“Phew-”
Lin Sen let out a long breath.
Playing with the five mercenaries did not consume much of his energy, but the sudden appearance of the guy who claimed to be General Lin Geyu made him tense.
After the nervousness passed, a doubt appeared in Lin Sen’s heart again.
He had seen this kind of illusory projection that allowed the will and power of others to descend twice.
The first was the projection of the Beast God in the Two Dimensional Door at the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The second time was when the principal of Tai Yi Academy personally recruited him to join the academy. A giant figure had appeared out of thin air.
If Lin Geyu was truly a general of the Southern Yong War Zone who had given his daughter a life-saving treasure, how could he be a paper tiger without any capabilities?
Given his status and the resources he could mobilize, he shouldn’t be inferior to an academy’s principal, right?
Could it be that someone had blocked the transmission of power?
Lin Sen narrowed his eyes.
His eyes darted back and forth around him as he suddenly spoke.
“Sir, please come forward if you have anything to say. Don’t you think you’re too conspicuous?”
Regardless of whether there was anyone present, there was nothing wrong with bluffing.
Clap, clap, clap!
“Mr. Lin was really bold just now. As a Silver grade professional, you resolutely rejected General Lin Geyu who is a semi-Sanctuary professional. If you keep this up, the Sanctuary grade is in sight for you.”
As soon as Lin Sen finished speaking.
In the street surrounded by shadows, a man with a very leisurely demeanor slowly walked out, his hands gently clapping.
He was dressed in a white warrior suit.
He had a long saber at his waist, and his black hair fell like a waterfall.
His thin lips curled up slightly on his pale face. His facial features were handsome and his temperament was feminine.
For some reason, his eyes were covered by a white cloth.
However, Lin Sen had a feeling that this person was staring straight at him.
Name: Yagyu Ichiken
Profession: Sword Saint
Grade: Sanctuary X
Physique: ???
Spirit: ???
Psionic Power: ???
Skills: [Sword and Saber], [Yagyu Sword Technique], [Sword Saint Domain], [Sword God (Incomplete)]…[Sanctuary Grade]
Lin Sen gasped.
Sanctuary!
This was the first time the system had encountered an existence whose detailed attributes and skills could not be checked.
Above the Gold grade
Black-gold, Legendary, Epic, and Sanctuary!
Above the Sanctuary grade was the realm where you get a glimpse into the origin of divine power
Until now.
He had never heard of a professional breaking through to the Sanctuary grade and above.
In other words, the Sanctuary grade was the pinnacle of humanity.
And this person’s grade was Sanctuary X, the peak of the peak!
To think my small trick actually tricked an extraordinary figure into appearing.
Lin Sen’s expression was calm, but in fact, alarm bells were ringing in his heart.
When the difference in strength was too great, the other party’s existence alone would cause immense pressure on others.
Just as humans are afraid to stand beside elephants, afraid that they would accidentally stomp them to death, it was not a good thing to face such an expert. If he accidentally angered him, he might not even be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Fortunately, Lin Sen still had the God-level Farm as his final means of escape allowing him to maintain his rationality and think of a countermeasure.
He was already certain that it was this person’s doing that Lin Geyu’s projection descended without a trace of power.
He did not use force on me immediately and even helped me. It’s possible that he needs something from me.
Or perhaps he is wary of me and does not dare to make a move without knowing my background.
Mm?
While Lin Sen was in thought, he suddenly saw the [Sword God (Incomplete)] skill in the skills column of Yagyu Ichiken. A bold idea popped up in his mind.
I’m going all out!
Let’s trick him again!
Lin Sen made up his mind. If worse came to worst, he would return to the God-level Farm. After all, Liu Xiangxiang was in the second farm, he was invincible.
“Yagyu Ichiken?
“Should I call you Lord Sword Saint.
“Or His Holiness the Sword God?”
Yagyu Ichiken’s eyebrows twitched when he heard this. His leisurely pace became much more serious.
The smile on his face became even brighter.
“Mr. Lin, there’s no need to be so distant. Just call me Yagyu-san.”
“After all, you don’t want outsiders to know that I’ll address you as His Holiness the Beast God, right?”
His Holiness the Sword God.
His Holiness the Beast God.
A smile appeared on Lin Sen’s face.
Sure enough.
Like him, this guy was a mortal god who had stolen the power of the gods.
[Beast God (Incomplete)], [Sword God (Incomplete)].
One had to know that the projection that the Beast God had personally sent down possessed the complete [Beast God] skill. It was not like the skills that himself and Yagyu Ichiken had, that carried the incomplete label.
Although he did not know how Yagyu Ichiken obtained the skill [Sword God (Incomplete)],
after figuring out why he was looking for him, it would be much easier to deal with him.
“Yagyu-san, you didn’t come all the way from Sakura Country just to see me, did you?”
Lin Sen asked.
“Seeing another ‘companion’ who has already succeeded, this trip has not been in vain.”
Yagyu Ichiken said with a smile.
“However, the purpose of my trip is not to see you. Meeting Mr Lin is just an unexpected gain.”
Lin Sen nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
He could basically confirm that Yagyu Ichiken did not have any ill intentions towards him. Then, he could now probe about his motive.
“Then can you tell me your original purpose?”
“Well…”
Yagyu Ichiken paused and sighed.
“I originally didn’t plan to tell you, Mr. Lin. However, you’re one of the parties involved after all. Moreover, strictly speaking, you’re naturally our companion. Therefore, I’ll make an exception and tell you and give you a chance to choose.”
He waved his hand gently.
Between the two of them, a figure formed by countless ethereal light spots rose-
It was Lin Sen’s sister, Liu Xiangxiang in merfolk form!
“Liu Xiangxiang.
“The last merfolk survivor, also the last heir to the Fish Beasts’ royal bloodline.
“My goal is to bring her back to Sakura Country.
“Hunt and resurrect from her-
“The God of Fish!”
