The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 427 - 417: Lin Yun’s Predicament
Lin Yun never considered using the dispersing of the mist as a chance to counterattack; as soon as the mist cleared, he promptly made his escape.
Yuquan, being a seasoned expert, was not so easily killed.
Not only did he possess numerous spells and magical treasures, his cultivation level was also high. Lin Yun had no designs on him, and there was little to gain from killing him, so fleeing seemed the better option. He thought the Great Mist should be able to hold his pursuer off for a while.
However, the Great Mist lasted less than a minute before it was broken through by the Shangqing Poyun Sword.
This was the first time Lin Yun had seen the Great Mist directly shattered by anyone; the Sword Intent was simply the nemesis of the mist.
The Great Mist Divine Power quickly retreated back into Lin Yun’s body. Without another word, he continued to run.
"Sword Shattering the Starry Sky!"
The sword move that Yuquan had not completed just now was instantly finished this time; a streak of starlight entered his sword and then a beam of light shot straight towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun hastily used several Fire Escapes, but still couldn’t evade the lock of Sword Shattering the Starry Sky.
"How can it track this far?"
Lin Yun felt tingles on his scalp.
Spells that pursued endlessly once launched were truly his bane; his forte was in movement techniques, yet now there was nowhere to hide.
"Force acts mutually; I can only fight it out!"
Seeing that the strike was unavoidable, Lin Yun stopped running altogether, lifted his Thunderclap Sword, and swung it forcefully towards the patch of starlight. At the same time, he used Qiaobian as a shield in front of him.
The creators of Qiaobian probably never imagined that this weapon could also be used for defense.
Qiaobian was completely under Lin Yun’s command, changing forms instantly at his will.
In an extremely short period, Lin Yun completed this series of actions. The Thunderclap Sword struck the starlight, piercing right through it. The next second, the starlight hit the shield formed by Qiaobian, smashing it against Lin Yun’s body, and sent him flying.
Lin Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and tumbled to the ground, rolling several times to dissipate the force of the sword strike.
Xiao Qing rushed to treat Lin Yun, but he could clearly feel a mass of starlight inside him destroying his body, hindering the power Xiao Qing was using to revive him.
This move was ruthless!
Lin Yun truly felt that the mark of danger on his forehead couldn’t be washed away this time.
He should have been cautious earlier; when Sword Pointing Peak broke today, he vaguely felt something was amiss. Yet perhaps due to his recent complacency, he did not think to flee even when sensing something wrong.
Sure enough, one must never get carried away in the Jianghu.
Yuxuan saw Lin Yun fall and appeared before him in a few steps, using an advanced Taoist skill that condensed distance—not a movement technique, but rather an Escape Skill that seemed both elegant and formidable.
"Daoist, that move was impressive."
That move set a new record for Lin Yun’s injuries.
In the past, Lin Yun’s injuries were minor and Xiao Qing could heal them. But this time, even if Yuquan didn’t come to land the final blow, if Lin Yun didn’t properly deal with the injury, his internal organs would be torn to pieces by the starlight.
In fact, Lin Yun’s meridians were already incredibly robust, soaking daily in Spiritual Liquid; their toughness even surpassed that of an Upper Realm Cultivator.
However, fortresses are most easily breached from the inside, and Lin Yun was unable to expel this unique type of power.
"You’re still alive, which shows you have some ability. Since that’s the case, I’ll leave you to your master to deal with!"
Yuquan picked up the Thunderclap Sword, intending to tie Lin Yun up, but just then, the sword he picked up instantly released a tremendous surge of thunderous power. Yuquan’s hair stood on end from the shock, and his entire body convulsed.
Yuquan’s eyes were full of shock; he had thought Lin Yun had only stolen a Divine Artifact, yet the Divine Artifact actually ambushed him.
Is there such a Divine Artifact?
Lin Yun grinned, using Qiaobian as support to stand up and wielding the Thunderclap Sword, he chopped towards Yuquan.
In a life-and-death battle, he would show no mercy.
If he spared Yuquan, the latter would still try to kill him later; thus, it was better to take Yuquan out.
What Lin Yun did not expect was that even though Yuquan had been electrified by a hundred thousand volts, he was still far from defenseless.
Sanqing Sword Art’s Yuqing Void Break.
With eyes as sharp as lightning, Lin Yun felt momentarily disoriented and found himself dragged into an Illusionary Realm.
This was a contest of the spiritual worlds, with both Yuquan and Lin Yun appearing in the form of Divine Sense.
Yuquan donned a Taoist robe, no different from his real appearance; his Divine Sense cultivation was already quite high.
However, he couldn’t help but stare agape upon seeing Lin Yun’s Divine Sense.
Lin Yun was still in the Divine Cultivation Realm, but due to assistance from two Divine Souls, his `shen` was far more advanced than most.
His body was adorned with dragons of various forms, and his sword depicted majestic mountains and rivers.
This was because Lin Yun found that painting mountains and rivers was harder than painting dragons, which could enhance his Divine Sense even more.
Also inspired by Flower Fairy, Lin Yun prepared many accessories for himself.
Since he didn’t need to breakthrough to the Heart Guarding Realm, Lin Yun put nearly all his effort into Divine Cultivation.
Thus, in Yuquan’s eyes, he saw someone dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a nine-dragon gold crown, wielding a sword with an unfamiliar and bizarre shape in his right hand, and clutching a scroll in his left.
The scroll, too, could be embellished with Divine Sense, and after much consideration, Lin Yun decided not to draw dragons anymore since he’d already covered his robes with them. In the scroll, he depicted his wives instead.
All things considered, even if Flower Fairy’s Divine Sense clashed with Lin Yun’s, she would likely be no match for him.
If she were to continue cultivating alongside Lin Yun, she’d probably be frightened by the progress he had made.
With her five personalities, despite the fivefold speed, she couldn’t keep up with Lin Yun’s pace!
Seeing that Yuquan had pulled him into the spiritual world, Lin Yun smiled.
Daoist, you’re just delivering a head to me!
However, Yuqing Void Break was not that simple; in this spiritual realm, Lin Yun didn’t have the home-field advantage—that was Yuquan’s advantage.
With just a thought, Yuquan summoned a sky filled with stars and the power of the Celestial Bodies, encircling himself within.
Yuquan didn’t immediately launch an attack.
Lin Yun suddenly realized, this old man was playing dirty!
He was paralyzed from Little Gold’s thunderbolt’s shock, and just needed to drag this out. Then he could deal with Lin Yun however he wanted.
Of course, if it weren’t for Lin Yun’s extravagant attire, Yuquan would not have been so cautious.
Lin Yun swung his sword, with sword Qi blasting on Yuquan’s starlight shield, creating only sparks and lightning; the starlight shield remained unwavering.
"Taoist, I want to learn this!"
Lin Yun watched intently, yet he could only look on helplessly.
What should he do now?
Summon the wife to save me?
Lin Yun began to miss Dongfang Hongyue, but in fact, Dongfang Hongyue might not even be able to beat Yuquan. If Yuquan hadn’t been caught off guard initially, and had Dongfang Hongyue not launched a sneak attack, Dongfang Hongyue would have been gone too.
But now, what should he do?
Lin Yun’s mind raced crazily, when suddenly he remembered the sword Yuquan used to break his Great Mist.
Lin Yun also felt the Sword Intent within it; in this Illusionary Realm, he might be able to use that move.
Lin Yun recalled the Sword Intent from before, and a giant sword suddenly took shape.
Yuquan, seeing this giant sword and the familiar Sword Intent, was immediately dumbfounded.
"How do you know the Shangqing Poyun Sword!?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Wasn’t this the move Yuxuan created himself and taught only to him? Could it be that Yuxuan secretly passed it on to Lin Yun?
Or could it be...
Lin Yun was actually the destined one?
Yuquan felt a little flustered, while Lin Yun did not listen to him at all and wholeheartedly executed the move. He did not aim the sword at Yuquan but instead attacked the surrounding area.
As soon as the sword was unleashed, the Illusionary Realm instantly shattered, and Lin Yun was back in the real world, while Yuquan spat out a mouthful of blood abruptly.
Clearly, the Yuqing Void Break had a backlash.
At that moment, the effects of Little Gold’s sneak attack hadn’t disappeared yet. Lin Yun, enduring the intense pain within his body, picked up the Thunderclap Sword and struck again.
A green light shone on Yuquan’s body, signaling that his life-saving magical treasure had been activated. Lin Yun, still unconvinced, slashed a few more times but could not break the light shield.
Good grief, this old man was both tough and powerful!
Lin Yun simply gave up, if he couldn’t kill, then run!
Given time, the injuries left by Yuquan could be healed.
But he must take away the Sword Embryo!
Lin Yun hadn’t expected this thing could lock onto his position. Now it couldn’t fall into Yuquan’s hands again.
Taking the Sword Embryo didn’t trigger the light shield’s effect. Lin Yun had a thought, could it be that it only blocks fatal damage?
Having this thought, Lin Yun threw a punch, hitting Yuquan square in the face, sending Yuquan flying into the sky, spinning several times before landing.
Seeing him in such a sorry state, Lin Yun couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
I, Lin Yun, usually repay my grievances on the spot.
Yuquan’s head buzzed from the punch. How could this young man be so fierce?
This old predecessor nearly capsized in the gutter.
After landing, Lin Yun was ready to flee, signaling it was time to run fast. Once Yuquan recovered, he was going to be in for a beating.
But as Yuxuan landed, Lin Yun saw a blue ring fall out of his arms.
Wasn’t that the Fulong?
Without a second word, Lin Yun picked up the Fulong and then turned to run.
Once Lin Yun had the Fulong, it suddenly burst into a bright blue light, pulling Lin Yun in a certain direction as they ran.
This scene felt familiar, just like back in the Great Snow Mountain.
Was this going to lead him to the Snow Maiden?
As Lin Yun ran, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
It hurt just to think about it, so much blood that could feed so many dragons!
Unbeknownst to Lin Yun, the trail of blood he left behind was a stroke of luck for the beasts on Yuqing Mountain.
Lin Yun hadn’t been running long before Yuquan recovered his mobility, but he no longer had the will to chase after Lin Yun.
Actually, when he was struck by the Thunderclap Sword, Yuquan realized he might have misunderstood Lin Yun.
The Thunderclap Sword was a Divine Artifact and would not submit to a wicked person.
But since Lin Yun intended to kill him, he had no choice but to retaliate.
Inside the Yuqing Void Break, not only was he worried about being unable to defeat Lin Yun, but he also had no intention of killing him anymore.
The reason he didn’t directly say so was that he was at a disadvantage. If he said no to fighting, what if Lin Yun misunderstood that he was conceding out of fear?
Doesn’t the old Taoist care about his reputation?
In the end, he was shown up by Lin Yun in the Illusionary Realm, and then was harshly punched by Lin Yun.
This was even more embarrassing than before.
And now, he had lost Fulong as well.
Thinking about what Yuxuan said, that Fulong would soon be lost, Yuquan felt a pang in his heart.
Clearly, Yuxuan must have foreseen today’s events, yet he said nothing.
Damn the riddler!
