Chapter 16: Lin Yuelun Nailed on the Statue of Sol!
Qin Fengyang?
Just earlier they had said with absolute confidence that Qin Fengyang was a prodigy in Move Techniques and that nothing could have gone wrong. However, as soon as they arrived at this place, they were met with Qin Fengyang’s corpse…
Qin Fengyang died in this place.
Who had killed him?
Lin Yuelun’s complexion was a little pale and his expression looked extremely awful. He slowly walked over, moved closer to Qin Fengyang’s leg, extended two fingers, and pressed on it gently.
“There are signs of burning at his calf. The heat remains even until now. He used his trump card… but he has still perished in this place…” His voice was a little shaky.
Qin Fengyang had a very good relationship with Yuelun. He had even secretly told Yuelun that if he deployed his trump card, it was possible that even Lin Yuelun’s father, the Sect Master of the Great Sun Sword Sect, would not be able to catch up with him!
It was just that his trump card would seemingly injure Fengyang’s calves pretty badly.
The combustion of Spiritual Energy would burn his calf muscles.
He had touched them just now. Qin Fengyang had had already unleashed his trump card, yet he had still died…
“From the wound, it looks like he was killed with a single blow. What a terrifying sword technique…”
As a Sword Cultivator, he could tell the terrifying power of the person who inflicted this injury from the wound!
Lin Yuelun closed his eyes gently and began imagining different scenarios based on the wound profile.
This was a unique ability. Using the wound and a secret technique, he could simulate the attack that caused Qin Fengyang’s death.
The youngsters were together off to the side. However, they felt very afraid as they looked around with great vigilance. Qin Fengyang’s death already had their nerves on end!
They carefully stared at Lin Yuelun, but suddenly, Lin Yuelun was struck by something in his mind. His face quickly turned pale. Immediately, he burst out in a cold sweat as if he had been submerged in freezing water. Horror shone from deep within his eyes!
“Run! Hurry up and run!” His voice was trembling with intense fear.
“The person who killed Fengyang is extremely horrifying. He wields the Tempest Force and a terrifying Move Technique that absolutely crushed that of Fengyang’s. I was able to see the dazzling Swordlight via my simulation. If we encounter him upfront, death will be inevitable. We won’t even get a chance to run!”
His words undoubtedly ignited fear in everyone!
However, at that very moment, the surrounding temperature plummeted abruptly.
Everybody’s hearts were thumping wildly.
Far away, in the dark mist, a figure seemingly appeared. Its footsteps were strange and unpredictable, and its figure was flickering continuously.
“Run!”
Their faces changed drastically.
Then suddenly, the sound of a sword being unsheathed came from behind them, which left all of their scalps numb!
Spllurgh!
A ray of Swordlight whooshed over to them!
It traveled across a thousand miles in a split second!
That was the Riding Art: Thousand Miles.
A disciple at the peak of the Enlightenment stage fell directly to the ground with a hole running through the back of his head.
Riding Art: Wind Chase!
A blade that was even faster flew over to them!
Spllurgh!
Lin Yuelun was about to cry.
Why would such a freak exist in the Empyrean Sword Sect?!
A Move Technique of a terrifying level, sword arts of a terrifying grade…
For this person, killing them right now was a piece of cake!
It was just like stepping on ants!
Yuelun ran maniacally!
He ran out of the territory where the Empyrean Sword Sect was located and leaped into the dark mist. Of course, although he was flustered, he still ran along what he remembered as the safest route. At that moment, there were no youths by his side anymore. His heart sank slightly.
He deeply understood that they were all dead.
They had perished within the devil-like Swordlight.
And the most horrifying thing was that, even until now, he still had not gotten a clear look at that person!
He appeared out of the blue like a nightmare, slicing through the air, and then vanished once again!
It was absolutely horrifying!
However, hope was right in front of Yuelun!
He was about to return to the Sol Sword Sect!
The dark mist gradually thinned, and luckily enough, that demon that had chased them all the way to the Empyrean Sword Sect did not appear! Perhaps it was frightened.
It seemed like that demon was indeed scared away by the terrifying existence that was hunting him right now!
Wait!
Perhaps it was because of this thought that, in an instant, many things came to light. It was as if the clouds were dispelled. Immediately, cold water seemingly poured down on Lin Yuelun’s body!
An existence that could crush Qin Fengyang, an existence that could scare away that demon…
Lin Yuelun was just at Late-stage Qi Bending. With his power level, why was it that he could escape all by himself?
Could it be that…
His target was the Sol Sword Sect?
Lin Yuelun’s eyes froze as he shuddered from head to toe. But at that moment, the dark mist gradually thinned. Not far away, the Sol Sword Sect, bathed in a faint light amidst the dark mist, gradually came into view…
…
Within the Sol Sword Sect.
“Eh? Yuelun is back!”
A mighty man stood up abruptly. He had been anxiously waiting, and now that he had felt Lin Yuelun’s aura, he immediately became overjoyed.
“Hmm? The Young Lord is back?”
“This is great! I knew that the heavens would keep those who are good out of harm’s way! Although they were the first batch of disciples to go out, they were very well equipped. Even if they ran into demons of the Liberation stage, they would be able to escape…”
For a while, the surrounding elders could not help but sigh in relief.
Lin Yuelun and his party were the first batch of disciples that the sect had decided to dispatch on an exploration mission.
Hence, they were all anxious in their hearts.
It could be said that most of the people who had gone out were their disciples.
Each of them was among the most outstanding of the disciples of the Sol Sword Sect!
“I wonder if they’ve found anything. When we elders went out, all that we brought back were some resources. We did not bump into any other sects. I wonder if the other sects have survived in the dark mist. If the young ones have encountered…”
“We will kill everyone Qi Bending stage and above and make all the young and low-level ones our new blood. First, we have to alter their minds, then we invest resources into them. Within the dark mist, this is necessary for the development of the sect.”
“Wait! Why am I only sensing Yuelun’s aura?”
All of a sudden, the mighty man’s expression altered. Immediately, he extended his hand, and from a table at the side, three swords were summoned by an invisible force that had almost instantly appeared behind his back!
“What?! Could something have happened?”
“Fengyang is in the exploration squad. With Fengyang’s speed, he should have been able to escape even if he encountered a demon at the peak of the Liberation stage… the party’s line-up consisted of the Young Lord, who has mastery over the Simulation secret technique, and other disciples that are also at the Qi Bending stage and at least at the peak of the Enlightenment stage… such a line-up is almost better than our elders’!”
The facial expressions of the elders changed drastically. They had a bad feeling about this!
That mighty man was the Sol Sword Sect’s Sect Lord, Lin Jianghong!
At that moment, he quickly rushed out of the Sol Sword Sect at speeds that pushed the limits!
As soon as he rose into the air, he immediately spotted Lin Yuelun, who had just exited the dark mist. However, at that moment, Lin Yuelun’s face was full of fear as if he had seen something terrifying!
And at that very moment, Lin Jianghong’s face turned pale!
There was a sword that was emitting a three-foot Swordlight. It was rushing forward with thunderous momentum!
It penetrated Lin Yuelun’s body and flew over along with it!
Ding!
The sword forcefully nailed Lin Yuelun to the statue that symbolized the status of the Sol Sword Sect. It was located directly across from the main entrance gate!
Fresh blood streamed down on the Statue of Sol while fear still clung to Lin Yuelun’s face.
“Ah!”
Having his son killed before his very eyes, Lin Jianghong unleashed a deafening bellow!
In the dense forest shrouded in the dark mist, a figure slowly stepped out.
