Chapter 126 - You Have Really Slipped Back!
Chapter 126: You Have Really Slipped Back!
“Junior Brother, do you know him?” Luo Zhengyi carried his hands behind his back, not because he was assuming the air of an expert but because his hands were slightly trembling. In order to defeat Mo Jingzhe just now, he forced himself to use a higher level of Sonic Punch, which had disturbed his blood flow and energy; he had overburdened himself. He had no choice but to admit the fact that Mo Jingzhe was really strong and had to be taken seriously.
As for the man who had just appeared, Luo Zhengyi wasn’t worried about him. His earth energy might’ve been thick, but it wasn’t of that high a level.
Yan Xu was crestfallen. He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and waved his long sword fiercely. “Senior Brother, some time ago, our Sunshine Sect went to the Magnificent Flame Sect. It was him who killed our outer disciples and humiliated me in the arena. If I don’t take my revenge, it will be hard for your junior brother to calm down and improve his cultivation.”
“Oh!? So it was him.” Luo Zhengyi’s eyes blazed with anger as he printed Lin Fan’s image in his brain. A playful smile appeared on his lips as he said, “Junior Brother, go ahead, your Senior Brother will hold the line for you. Today, Junior Brother has already trained Flashing Lights to perfection, your sword is insanely fast to the extent that only its shadow can be seen. Even if your sword cuts through their throat, the victim would not even bleed.”
He had already heard that Elder Xuan Kun had suffered a big loss when he went to the Magnificent Flame Sect with some disciples. All the outer disciples he took had fallen in the Magnificent Flame Sect. He was extremely furious when he heard of this news. The trashy Magnificent Flame Sect actually has the gal to kill my Sunshine Sect disciples? Unforgivable! Now that this guy is here, I will let Junior Brother Yan avenge himself and wash away his shame with blood.
Yan Xu’s earth energy skyrocketed just as he took a step forward; it was like a mist rising from his body. His eyes turned dark and gloomy while his sword glistened with a sharp and cold gleam.
“I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have already trained Flashing Lights to perfection, and my cultivation has also advanced to the fourth stage of the Earth Star Border Realm. Today, you will die like a dog, no one can save you today.”
The sword in his hand began to tremble, not because of fear but from excitement. What happened that day was like a boulder pressing on his heart. It had turned into a nightmare. So, how could he not be excited with his enemy in front of him?
“I had really forgotten who you are, but when you just talked about the arena, I finally remembered. Aren’t you the guy who drew his sword extremely slowly and I let you go to practice more?” Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile, looking at the exasperated guy before him.
“I’ll kill you.” Yan Xu couldn’t hold himself anymore and attacked first. “Flashing Lights, maximum sword intent.”
In a flash, Yan Xu’s figure turned into a streaking sword of light as he charged straight at Lin Fan. Only the flashes of the sword of light could be seen. Each flash was so blinding that it was hard to discern any figure.
Luo Zhengyi nodded his head in acknowledgement.
The man in yellow praised immediately, “Junior Brother Yan has really understood the essence of Flashing Lights. If he resorts to this move, even I have to take him seriously.”
“Although Junior Brother Yan is not a genius of cultivation, he really has a talent for swords. He can kill anyone with his extremely fast Flashing Lights.” Luo Zhengyi praised Yan Xu as well. Yan Xu’s strength might not have entered his eyes, but the former’s comprehension of sword arts was another thing.
“Be careful.” Mo Jingzhe, who happened to be recovering from his injuries, promptly warned Lin Fan after seeing the sword of light sweeping through the cave.
Lin Fan shook his head, helpless. I guess this guy won’t give up until he is pushed to the end of the rope. Only when he is dead will he know how stupid his actions are.
Just as Lin Fan was about to move his hand, a thought crossed his mind.
Do I even have to catch this sword?
But he already didn’t want to take this sword anymore as it was completely unnecessary, because it was too weak, really weak.
“Go to hell.” All swords of light converged at one point as Yan Xu’s figure cut through the air. It was Yan Xu’s strongest attack. He had never used it because he had reserved it for Lin Fan.
Seeing Lin Fan standing still, an incomparably crazed look appeared on Yan Xu’s face.
Is he helpless?
Is the sword so fast for him that he can’t react?
Boom!
With a deafening boom, all the tension was completely dissipated. God knows when, but Lin Fan, who hadn’t moved till now, had taken out his mace and smashed Yan Xu to the ground directly.
Puff!
Yan Xu felt as if all his internal organs had burst into pieces. His lips slightly parted as a fountain of blood gushed out of his mouth, rising to as high as three feet.
His eyes immediately bloomed with an intense bloodlust, but the disbelief on his face was even more shocking.
Lin Fan looked at Yan Xu with little-to-no change in his expression and said, “You are really disappointing. Back then, you forced me to catch your sword, but now, you can’t even make me take your sword. You have really slipped back.”
Hearing these words, Yan Xu was like he was struck by a bolt out of the blue. A look of disbelief had taken over his entire face. He didn’t expect things to end like this. He had cultivated really hard in seclusion and finally trained Flashing Lights to perfection, but he had really not expected for the things to end like this.
That sentence kept echoing in his mind.
“You have slipped back…”
“You have slipped back…”
Puff!
Yan Xu had suffered a serious blow. The blood he spurted reached six feet, which was three feet more than before.
He had perfected his swordsmanship. He should have been looking down on everyone. He should have been able to finish his revenge. But when he finally encountered his enemy, he was humiliated once again. And this time, he had completely lost. He would never have a chance to take revenge in the future. He could not accept this; all the unwillingness in his heart had erupted at once.
In a flash, his eyes turned as he passed away.
Well, at least I got some points.
Lin Fan shook his head. Yan Xu might’ve been a bit weaker, but the points he gave were still good. Lin Fan lifted the mace from the gory flesh and blood, placed it on his shoulder, and looked at everyone with a calm expression.
“It’s him who was looking for death. It’s not related to me in any way.”
“Junior Brother Yan!” The man in yellow’s eyes bulged out at the sight of this. He immediately lashed out at Lin Fan, “You actually killed Junior Brother Yan!”
Mo Jingzhe raised his eyes slightly, marveling in his heart. So strong.
Although that Sunshine Sect disciple’s cultivation wasn’t that high, his sword skills were simply superb and fast. When they ganged up on me, I had to be really wary of his sword skills apart from Luo Zhengyi.
If I had been the slightest bit careless, he would have appeared behind me with Flashing Lights.
But now, this guy has been hammered to death with just one strike, without any fancy move. This is really shocking.
Facing the Sunshine Sect disciples’ glares, Lin Fan just shrugged his shoulders before bending down and searching through Yan Xu’s mutilated corpse. He removed the storage ring and emptied out its contents. He found some Sunshine Sect coins in it. Although there were many, the conversion ratio to Magnificent Sect coins was very large – 100 to 8.
He found a sword skill as well. It was a Mystic middle-class sword skill, Flashing Lights. But I already have the Transformation into God Swordsmanship. I don’t need ordinary sword arts. It’s better to exchange it when I return to the sect.
After sorting out everything, Lin Fan lost interest. He directly threw the storage ring away. The storage ring might’ve been worth something, but as he was a rich man now, these ordinary things didn’t enter his eyes.
The man in yellow turn livid, witnessing everything before him. “You killed Junior Brother Yan and even dishonored my Junior Brother Yan’s body. You deserve to die, you really deserve to die.”
Lin Fan looked up, his eyes completely calm. “When did you see me dishonoring his corpse? I am just recycling the waste. I am just taking my booty. It’s none of your business.
“If you don’t accept it, when I bash you to death, I will treat you the same way.”
“What arrogance.” The man in the yellow was fuming with rage. He couldn’t bear it anymore. “Senior Brother Yan, I will kill this kid and pay homage to Junior Brother Yan.”
Luo Zhengyi too had not expected that his Junior Brother Yan would end up dying. He was holding the line and yet he couldn’t react.
Now that the things have already happened, I can only make Junior Brother Yan rest in peace by taking this kid’s life.
