Chapter 1206 – Shining Brightly (1)
Countless starlight formed into a waterfall descending from the first layer of heaven. This was a shocking scene, and everyone was shocked even if it wasn’t their first time seeing this scene.
But it was different this time. Back then when Lin Yun used this move in the Azure Dragon Sword Array, the outcome of the battle was already pretty much determined. But this time, he had no choice but to resort to this attack.
Let’s not mention if Feng Tianyuan could defend against this attack. Even if Lin Yun really manages to defeat Feng Tianyuan, he would be facing the attacks of three elders in the next second.
Feng Tianyuan’s hair was scattered with blood dripping down from his body. In the eyes of others, he seemed to be evenly matched with Lin Yun in the previous clash. But only Feng Tianyuan himself knew that it wasn’t.
After Lin Yun summoned his Demonic Astral Flowers, the power of Lin Yun’s sword reached a whole new level that crushed him one-sidedly. Even if he was a quasi-Dragon Pulse Realm expert, there was no way he could be comparable to Lin Yun after he sealed his cultivation in the Heavenly Soul Realm.
Furthermore, even if he competed with Lin Yun in terms of the attainment of the sword, he still wasn’t Lin Yun’s opponent. The reason he managed to last till now was fully relying on his foundation. So when he saw Lin Yun charging over, Feng Tianyuan couldn’t help laughing, “Little bastard, it’s time for you to die!”
He could clearly see that as long as he manages to block this sword from Lin Yun, the three other elders would be able to take the opportunity to kill Lin Yun. If Lin Yun was smart, he would choose to give up and admit defeat right now.
“Kneel and beg me to spare you!” Feng Tianyuan laughed while he pushed his sword technique to the limit. In the next second, nine stars were like flaming meteorites as they shone brightly. The sword rays had directly placed a restriction on the surrounding space and formed an unbreakable barrier.
At the same time, the three elders had soared into the sky as they approached with their swords. They had been brewing their attacks for a long time and were emitting a dazzling radiance while they headed in Lin Yun’s direction. Before the three sword aura from them descended, it had already made Lin Yun feel terrible as if there was an invincible wind blade scraping on the surface of his body.
If it was someone else in Lin Yun’s position, they would be covered in blood and turned into a corpse by now.
“Lin Yun, I can still spare your death if you admit defeat right now!” Feng Tianyuan squinted his eyes with a grin while he hid behind the barrier formed by his sword rays.
Truth be told, he was a little lacking in confidence. After all, Lin Yun’s sword was terrifying and he was already forced to the point that he couldn’t retaliate. He could only choose to defend with his sword aura greatly restricted by Lin Yun’s boundless sword aura.
As Lin Yun held onto his sword, he had no change in his expression because begging didn’t exist in his dictionary. He had come this far with great difficulty, so how could he possibly give up?
As countless gazes fell onto Lin Yun. They wanted to see how Lin Yun would react in this situation. After all, this path was chosen by Lin Yun himself. When he forced Feng Tianyuan into a desperate strait, he should know that the three elders wouldn’t just sit and watch. They would definitely do whatever they could after there was an outcome in his fight.
“You can just go and die!” Lin Yun said.
As the sound of heaven cracking became intense, the starlight shining down got even more brilliant with Lin Yun’s hair fluttering wildly while he charged.
When he swung his sword out, his attack easily destroyed the barrier that Feng Tianyuan had created. Shortly after, the sword ray continued and slowly destroyed the nine sword rays, causing a huge explosion with each destruction. Just the sheer sound alone was enough to make their hearts tremble.
As the Flower Burial Sword buzzed, Lin Yun’s sword continued to head towards Feng Tianyuan’s throat.
“What arrogance!” Feng Tianyuan raged, “You want to kill me? Not so easy!”
After all, Feng Tianyuan was ultimately an expert in the quasi-Dragon Pulse Realm. Even if he had sealed his cultivation to the Heavenly Soul Realm, his foundation in the martial path wasn’t a joke. He had retained his composure despite being in such a dangerous position and charged toward Lin Yun instead of retreating.
The sword in his hand radiated with a cold light like a star in the sky. In the path of the sword, sword rays were like fireflies descending from the sky. His sword was also directed at Lin Yun’s throat. He didn’t hope to kill Lin Yun and only wanted to force Lin Yun to retreat. As long as Lin Yun’s sword didn’t deal a fatal wound to him, he would win the fight.
After all, he only needed to last for a brief moment and the three elders would certainly take the opportunity to claim Lin Yun’s life.
But as Lin Yun’s sword continued to expand in Feng Tianyuan’s eyes, fear began to rise within Feng Tianyuan’s heart with his heart throbbing violently. His heart was practically on the verge of jumping out from his heart.
He didn’t know if Lin Yun was really now afraid of death, but his eyes had squinted, and lost his courage. Even if his attack landed on Lin Yun’s throat, he also wouldn’t be able to claim Lin Yun’s life if his attack wasn’t strong enough. At most, Lin Yun would just suffer heavy injuries, and the one claiming Lin Yun’s life would still be the attacks from the three elders.
But if Lin Yun didn’t change his attack, he would definitely be dead based on the power of Lin Yun’s Fleeting Cloud 13 Swords and he had poured all his strength into this sword.
Feng Tianyuan didn’t want to die nor he could afford to die. After all, he was a quasi-Dragon Pulse Realm, so why would he have to die together with Lin Yun? Why did he have to care about the god damned rules?
As a decisive light flashed through Lin Yun’s eyes, he immediately broke through the restriction of the Heavenly Soul Realm and reached the Empyrean Realm. But he had no idea that the cowardice in his heart was the greatest flaw in this confrontation. After all, not being decisive enough was a taboo when facing life and death.
As Lin Yun and Feng Tianyuan passed by each other, blood splashed out of Feng Tianyuan’s throat as Lin Yun’s sword had stabbed into Feng Tianyuan’s throat while he poured all his sword intent and origin energy into this attack.
Feng Tianyuan immediately loses grip of his sword while he held onto his throat falling to the ground. Under everyone’s gazes, Feng Tianyuan’s cultivation continued to surge until it reaches the pinnacle of the Empyrean Realm. Then, his cultivation broke through the boundary of the Empyrean Realm once more and reached the Elysium core Realm.
When his cultivation reaches the quasi-Dragon Pulse Realm, the sword ray on his throat bloomed and his head flew away. Just like that, the Grand Elder of the Feng Clan had lost his life.
“No!” Feng Xuanzi yelled as his entire body began to tremble. After all, he had already violated the rules by getting Feng Tianyuan to join the Four Phase Sword Array to kill Lin Yun. But he never imagined that not only did Feng Tianyuan fail to take Lin Yun’s life, but his brother even lost his life.
Everyone here was geniuses, and they could tell that Feng Tianyuan had lifted the restriction on his cultivation when facing death. Strictly speaking, Lin Yun had already won the moment he lifted the restriction on his cultivation. But Feng Tianyuan had died too quickly, causing this factor to be overlooked by others.
