Chapter 424
Combining the Undying Vajra Seal, Sky Breaking Seal, and Demon Vanquishing Seal together, Lin Yun’s aura was approaching the Violet Palace Realm as he sent the demonic flying with a punch. Simultaneously, he gave off a dragon and a tiger roar brimming with dominance.
The ground trembled, and this time, the demonic beast could no longer get back up on its feet. Lin Yun’s clothes were also tattered and stained with blood from his injuries. It wasn’t an easy win for Lin Yun without using his sword.
The demonic beast might not be in its strongest state, but its defence was too terrifying. It was comparable to a cosmic artifact, which made Lin Yun exert a great deal of effort killing it. Even with the Seven Profound Steps, Dracophant Battle Physique, and the Dragon-Tiger Fist, he took half a day before he finally killed it.
“There’s a reason why it can reach the Violet Palace Realm. It cannot be underestimated despite being heavily injured,” muttered Lin Yun as he looked at the corpse. This battle had strengthened his understanding for demonic beasts in the Violet Palace Realm.
But a demonic beast in the Violet Palace Realm was different from cultivators. Cultivators had cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and various trump cards. Cultivators could suppress demonic beasts at the same cultivation, unless they ran into mutated demonic beasts or those with ancient bloodline inheritance from divine beasts. Those demonic beasts were monarchs among those at the same cultivation, and they were extremely terrifying.
This demonic beast might have a terrifying defence, but it wasn’t even an overlord demonic beast. This meant that Lin Yun still had a long way to go. After a brief rest, Lin Yun walked towards the corpse and retrieved the beast core. He might be a delicacy in the eyes of demonic beasts, but the demonic beasts’ beast core was also equally tempting to him.
But when he came before the corpse, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around. There was a black leopard squatting on the rock a hundred meters away looking at him. In that split second, Lin Yun felt a chill down his spine with his back covered in sweat. He didn’t realize the leopard’s arrival at all.
But the bizarre thing was that this leopard had a small body. It was barely two meters in length, unlike the demonic beast he just killed. But the small body had placed Lin Yun under great pressure, and made him feel fearful at the same time. His limbs weren’t listening to him.
Was this leopard warning him that the crimson four legged beast was its prey? Lin Yun tried his best to keep his composure as he distanced himself from the four legged beast.
The leopard jumped down from the rock and strolled forth. But its eyes were glued on Lin Yun. Suddenly, it stretched its jaws, and it seemed to be smiling.
In the next second, the leopard disappeared, and reappeared before Lin Yun. Lin Yun was shocked by the leopard speed, and he spread his arms like a crow instantly.
However, he still took a claw to his chest. The pain made Lin Yun’s lips twitched. He instantly realized that this was a genuine Violet Palace Realm demonic beast, unlike the one he killed previously that had already been weakened after losing so much blood.
“Interesting…” Lin Yun smirked after he recovered from the fear and unleashed boundless fighting spirits. He circulated the Iris Sword Sutra, and his figure was like a sword plunged into the ground. His hair and clothes fluttered in the wind as he stared at the leopard.
The leopard suddenly opened its jaws and unleashed a roar, releasing the origin energy within its body in the manner of a sound wave towards Lin Yun. Under the soundwave, Lin Yun could see ripples in the air with his naked eyes. At the same time, the leopard’s body gradually blurred because of the ripples.
Lin Yun couldn’t imagine how powerful it would be if he took the soundwave head-on. But he knew that even if he had a powerful physique, his internal organs would still be shattered.
Under his origin energy, Lin Yun’s sword intent rang out within his body that released a wave of ripples as well. When the sword buzz and the soundwave clashed together, the entire mountain trembled violently under the clash, along with a series of explosions in the air. The clouds began to tumble, and bolts of lightning flashed under their clash.
“This is?” Bai Lixuan frowned his brows. He just killed the python, and he was preparing to return to the sect. But his attention was instantly attracted by the beast roar and sword buzz. “Let’s take a look!”
Bai Lixuan turned into a streak of light and disappeared. A few minutes later, he stopped on a tree and infused his origin energy into his eyes to watch the battle ten miles away. He could see a man and a beast fighting. The two were extremely swift, and their movements would leave afterimages behind.
“Him!” Bai Lixuan was shocked when he saw Lin Yun. That fellow was really still alive. For some reason, Bai Lixuan felt excited instead of disappointment when he realized that Lin Yun wasn’t dead.
Perhaps he also didn’t want Lin Yun to be killed by demonic beasts in the depth of his heart because that would be a pity. He could tell that Lin Yun had gained a lot through the experience, and just his movement techniques alone was impressive.
But Lin Yun didn’t seem to be in a good condition as he was covered in injuries. Several of his injuries even went deep into his bones. The leopard’s claw was powerful, and it could easily tear a cultivator in the tenth stage into pieces. Even with the Dracophant Battle Physique, Lin Yun also couldn’t take the attack head-on.
“There’s something weird about this Demon Runic Leopard…” Bai Lixuan frowned his eyebrows because he had never seen such a small Demon Runic Leopard. It had a sleek body, and its agility wasn’t any inferior to a spiritual grade movement technique.
Bai Lixuan’s hand was on his sword without him realizing. At the same time, the sword intent within his body was also on the verge of erupting. But a moment later, he removed his hand from the hilt. He looked at Lin Yun, and he muttered to himself, “You’re not worthy of fighting me if you can’t even get through this ordeal. So why should I save you?”
Bai Lixuan disappeared from the spot in the next second. Now that he could kill a Violet Palace Realm demonic beast, there was no longer meaning in him staying in the mountain range. He wants to return to the sect to spar with Violet Palace Realm elders.
Demonic beasts and cultivators couldn’t be compared to each other. After all, the latter had more means. But just when Bai Lixuan moved, he stopped the next second.
If he’s going to be killed, it would be better to die with my sword. At least you won’t let down your dignity as a swordsman. Bai Lixuan finally found a reason to convince himself. Without any hesitation, he turned around and returned to where he was previously.
When he returned, his face was odd because he expected that Lin Yun would be struggling against the demonic beast. But in reality, Lin yun was still fighting with the leopard without showing any signs of being weakened. On the contrary, his fighting spirits blazed like wildfire.
Just when Bai Lixuan was shocked, he saw a boundless aura exploding from Lin Yun’s body like a volcano eruption. Lin Yun was forming an odd seal with both his hands, and when he pushed the seal out, the leopard was sent flying away. That was the Undying Vajra Seal.
However, Lin Yun didn’t just stop there, and he continued to form more seals. The Sky Breaking Seal, Demon Vanquishing Seal, and the Heavenly Seal.
The seals were stronger than the previous. When he formed the Heavenly Seal, the thirty-three swords behind him opened up in a fan formation, and his boundless sword aura rose to a suffocating height.
The Heavenly Seal also slammed the Demon Runic Leopard who was wailing out in the air into the ground. When it was slammed onto the ground, it released a miserable shriek along with an outburst of blood splattering.
The Demon Runic Leopard let out a ferocious roar, and its body began to grow in size releasing a terrifying demonic aura. It no longer looked as elegant as it was before.
“Great!” Lin Yun’s eyes lit up, and he began to speed up the process of forming the seals. When the Undying Vajra Seal, Sky Breaking Seal, and the Demon Vanquishing Seal combined together, Lin Yun’s aura had already reached the Violet Palace Realm. But that wasn’t all as he formed the fourth seal.
“Four seals combine!” Lin Yun could feel his body being torn apart when the four seals combined together. Blood began to ooze out from his skin, and he also wore a savageous expression on his face.
Lin Yun didn’t even think for a second before slamming all that explosive energy onto the Demon Runioc Leopard, tearing it into pieces before it could even launch an attack after increasing its size.
After the rain of blood settled down, Bai Lixuan looked at Lin Yun going down on one knee with all his origin energy exhausted. He was shocked. He naturally guessed that Lin Yun was taking a risk by squeezing out his potential. At this moment, he now knew how this youth managed to build up such fame in the Sword Firmament Pavilion in such a short period of time.
“How terrifying…” Bai Lixuan shook his head, and he left.
