Boom!
Yun Lintian's aura burst out, sending Jian Feng and Weilan Tian flying. At the same time, his figure flashed and reappeared before Weilan Tian like a ghost before lifting the sword up, preparing to cut down.
At this moment, Yun Qianxue moved. A terrifying aura instantly bounded Yun Lintian, making him unable to move for a moment.
Weilan Tian hurriedly seized this chance to kick Yun Lintian's arm, aiming to break it.
Bang!
The expected scene didn't occur. It was Weilan Tian who was sent flying instead as Yun Lintian managed to get rid of the restraint and kicked him.
On the side, Jian Feng swung his spare sword nine times on the side, each swing faster and more powerful than before, like layer after layer of surging currents. His sword, though, was low in quality. It carried the strength of heavenly winds as his attacks bore down on Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian locked his gaze on the incoming attacks and swiftly swung the sword to welcome them. His movements were quick as lightning and clean, like a veteran sword practitioner without the slightest flourish. They were incomparably firm with unblockable conviction.
Booms rang out like the low rumble of thunder, spreading outward starting from Yun Lintian.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe most terrifying part was each of Jian Feng's nine surging and torrential sword attacks crumbled in almost an instant. His sword shook and broke into countless pieces in the next second.
"Young Master Jian!" Jian Feng's followers cried out in horror when they saw Yun Lintian slashing at Jian Feng's head. If Jian Feng couldn't escape, he would undoubtedly die.
Ding!
An ice-cracking sound echoed as a blue light flashed. Layers of frost quickly appeared on Yun Lintian's body, restraining his movement.
At the same time, Yun Qianxue arrived beside Yun Lintian and shouted. "Wake up!"
Yun Lintian's soul shook, and his mind regained its clarity. Instead of throwing the sword away, he urgently mobilized his profound energy to suppress the sword with all his might.
The ancient sword struggled hard, trying to get out of his hand. The rust on its body gradually faded away, revealing its cold and sharp blade. The killing intent within it had also increased several times, making everyone in the room cough up blood instantly.
Under the terrifying murderous intent, everyone felt as though there was a cold blade pressing against their neck. It could reap their life at any moment.
"Use your White Tiger God's Primordial Soul." Suddenly, Hongyue voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.
He didn't hesitate to do as she said, invoking the White Tiger God's soul silently in his heart.
Roar—
Yun Lintian's mind was instantly filled with a terrifying tiger's cry, and the sword in his hand shivered violently before calming down a few seconds later. The killing intent had also vanished altogether. Everything returned to its original calm.
Everyone looked at Yun Lintian in surprise when they saw this scene. They didn't know what had happened, but the ancient sword that had just revealed its true appearance immediately grabbed their attention.
The sword was approximately 1.1 meters long. Its blade was made of divine steel that no one could recognize it. On the cross guard, a moon symbol was engraved on it, releasing a bone-freezing cold.
Even though the sword was completely calmed down, everyone who looked at it could still perceive a life-threatening threat coming from it.
Yun Lintian raised the sword gently and used his other hand to touch its blade. The cold from the edge somehow gave him a familiar feeling, as though he had long known it.
"Do you know its origin, Hongyue?" Yun Lintian asked in his mind.
"Of course. It belongs to my clansmen." Hongyue replied calmly. "I didn't expect it to appear here."
"Your clansmen?" Yun Lintian was surprised. "Is it related to Lin Xinyao's mother?"
"I don't know. This sword is pretty common among my clansmen. It could be anyone." Hongyue responded. "Although its soul was already gone, it could still be considered a top sword here… Aren't you planning to learn swordsmanship later? You can use it as your guiding sword."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"There must be something more than this, right?" Yun Lintian didn't believe this sword was ordinary, as she said.
From the scene he experienced earlier, the owner clearly fought with something until his last moment. Otherwise, his will to kill wouldn't linger deeply on it like this.
Moreover, since it was found in the Golden Mountain Ruin, it was apparent that there was a relationship between it and the Beyond Heaven Relic, Golden Mountain. That also meant it was related to him directly.
"I really don't know this time. I guess you will understand it once you check the ruin out." Hongyue replied honestly. She was curious about it as well.
Yun Lintian didn't inquire about it further as he could clearly see that Hongyue didn't lie to him this time.
"Congratulations, Brother Lin. This sword is undoubtedly the best I have ever seen so far." Jian Feng stepped forward and said sincerely.
"Congratulations." Weilan Tian was the same. Although he was prideful and aloof, he wasn't an arrogant person.
Yun Lintian cupped his fists toward them and said. "Thank you, Brother Jian, Young Master Weilan."
"Congratulations, Young Master Lin. You have obtained a divine sword this time. I am truly envious." Xing Renshu said with a smile while fanning his fan.
Yun Lintian simply nodded and said nothing.
Xing Renshu wasn't angry. He said further. "I heard that Young Master Lin has joined the assessment this time. I'm curious. You clearly have a powerful background that probably isn't lower than any of us here. I don't think you came here to join the Heavenly Sword Palace."
It was as though he had expected this beforehand, Yun Lintian replied readily. "To tell everyone the truth, I am interested in the Heavenly Sword Summit. Joining the assessment is the only way I can get an invitation."
A strange light flashed through Xing Renshu's eyes as if he thought of something. "Is that so?" He turned to Jian Feng and said. "Why don't you give him one, Brother Jian? I believe you esteemed master won't say anything when he learns about the matters here."
"Sure." Jian Feng agreed without hesitation. "You can come with me later, Brother Lin."
