The Sovereign's Ascension Chapter 233

Chapter 233

“Is that really the Dragon-Tiger Fist? Why is it so terrifying? It seems different compared to those I’ve seen...” Xin Yan fell into deep thoughts. She had witnessed the Dragon-Tiger Fist, and she had even personally witnessed Drifting Goblet using it. But the Dragon-Tiger Fist seemed entirely different when Lin Yun was using it. “Suppressing the pinnacle third stage of the Profound Martial Realm while in the second stage. I wonder how this brat managed to do it…”
Lin Yun’s clothes were riddled with holes, but there was an unruly arrogance on his face when he stood on the stage with his hair fluttering. Xin Yan was deeply shocked by this scene before she smiled.
“What a terrifying fist. It’s like the dragon and tiger, except it’s stronger and more ferocious. It might seem like a fist, but it’s actually a sword. He’s using his fist as his sword!” A Sword Firmament Pavilion’s disciple exclaimed.
“Terrifying indeed. Ye Liuyun has really underestimated his opponent by calling him half-baked. I’ve seen elites from the Heavenly Profound Sect executing this technique, but the power of their fist isn’t even one-tenth of Lin Yun’s!”
“Ye Liuyun isn’t going to lose, right? He must be seriously injured with how he’s struggling to get up.”
“Oh, yeah. Ye Liuyun seems to be losing.” The disciples were first shocked by Lin Yun’s Sky Breaking Seal’s power before they realized something even more horrifying. Ye Liuyun was going to lose?
This sudden realization caused an uproar in the surrounding. This was an outcome that no one had expected. As for the Gentlemen Union, everyone’s faces were dark, including the Eight Vajra.
“Lose?” Wang Yan snorted, “There’s no way Ye Liuyun will lose!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard that. Could it be that Ye Liuyun still had a trump card?
Up on the tattered stage, Ye Liuyun sneered, “You want to kill me? I was, indeed, caught by surprise when you combined the Dragon-Tiger Fist with your sword. But you can’t win me by relying on the Dragon-Tiger Fist alone!”
“I’m curious. Looking at you right now, where did you get that confidence from?” Lin Yun replied.
“Hehe. I just want to tell you not to underestimate the four prestigious clans. You’re already doomed to die ever since you cut down Wang Ning.” Ye Liuyun suddenly plunged his five fingers into his chest. Blood started to flow out from the wound before forming a blood seal.
“Bloodthirst Mark?”
“Isn’t that the Wang Clan’s Bloodthirst Mark? It’s said that it can allow someone to reach their pinnacle for a short period of time and unleash their full potential.”
“But the Bloodthirst Mark is the Wang Clan’s secret! Even many direct descendants aren’t able to learn it. Only the elders are qualified!” Everyone’s hearts trembled because they were shocked by the aura coming from Ye Liuyun.
“Wang Yan!” Xin Yan turned to look at Wang Yan coldly.
“This is just the beginning. Do you really think that this is all of Ye Liuyun’s strength? I’ve already said that Lin Yun will die today, and no one can change the outcome!” Wang Yan replied indifferently.
“Sword!” Ye Liuyun roared. As his aura began to rise, his sword intent also started to gather and grow.
“Something’s wrong…” Lin Yun frowned with a strange flicker in his eyes.
Ye Liuyun suddenly stabbed his sword forth, which created a phenomenon with stars shattering. Lin Yun previously stood started to explode with Ye Liuyun’s sword intent wreaking havoc in the cloud of dust. Even Lin Yun wasn’t able to avoid it completely even though he detected it in advance.
When Lin Yun landed on the ground, a surge of sweetness rose from his throat, and he threw out a mouthful of blood.
“Starlight as brilliant as the sun… That’s the sign of the Breakingstar Sword Art reaching greater mastery!”
“Ye Liuyun’s Breakingstar Sword Art has reached greater mastery! That’s a transcendent profound martial technique that we’re talking about!”
“He must’ve made a breakthrough recently. Otherwise, he would be in the top ten of the Mortal Ranking by now.” The sudden increment in the Breakingstar Sword Art’s power had shocked everyone.
People generally wouldn’t go for transcendent martial techniques because they had a high requirement for the cultivator’s comprehension. It was already difficult to get a transcendent martial technique in lesser mastery, and those who could reach the greater mastery couldn’t just be described as a genius.
“How does it feel?” Ye Liuyun laughed when he saw Lin Yun throwing out a mouthful of blood. “Why would I use this forbidden technique if it wasn’t because I was careless? You should be proud that you can force me this far. I’ll give the Earth Ranking a try after killing you. That means you will become my stepping stone today!”
Ye Liuyun’s aura continued to rise under the Bloodthirst Mark, and every swing of his sword would be accompanied by explosive strength. Every sword was equivalent to the volcano eruption, and the pressure coming from the sword even made the audience feel suffocating from afar.
Lin Yun wore a grave expression. While he dealt with Ye Liuyun’s attacks, his gaze was on the Bloodthirst Mark. Even with the Bloodthirst Mark and his cultivation in the fourth stage of the Profound Martial Realm, it was nothing before Lin Yun. In the end, he made a mistake by underestimating his opponent and was caught by surprise.
But then again, what was the point of winning if his opponent wasn’t strong? Lin Yun faced Ye Liuyun’s attacks without any expression on his face. He made himself look to be in the disadvantageous spot and even allowed Ye Liuyun to leave several cuts on his body.
But within his body, his origin energy was violently surging like a boiling river with the Iris Flower slowly blooming.
“Let’s finish this!” Ye Liuyun grinned. He did not want to drag the battle anymore, and the crimson radiance from the Bloodthirst Mark also enveloped his body.
This scene made everyone from Locket Mountain and Li Wuyou nervous. They could feel their heart being tightened. But Lin Yun’s eyes glowed just before Ye Liuyun’s sword was about to reach him. He soared into the sky and charged at Ye Liuyun. At the same time, he formed a seal with his sword intent.
A burst of golden radiance exploded from his back and slowly formed into a gigantic sword. Lin Yun wasn’t a Buddhist. But he had a sword that didn’t fear death or the demons. He would vanquish all demons with his sword, and that was the Demon Vanquishing Seal.
“Vanquishing demons with his sword? Holy shit. What kind of martial technique is this…”
“Don’t tell me that it’s the Demon Vanquishing Seal?”
“What kind of monster is this Lin Yun!” The Demon Vanquishing Sword behind Lin Yun had startled everyone, and even many elders were taken aback.
Lin Yun threw out his punch. The Demon Vanquishing Sword that was morphed from the origin energy in his body suppressed down. It was a sword that would vanquish all demons and evil.
Under the Demon Vanquishing Sword’s suppression, Ye Liuyun’s sword aura began to crumble, and he would take a step back when Lin Yun descended. Every single time he took a step back, he would also throw out a mouthful of blood.
“GO DOWN!” The aura coming from the Demon Vanquishing Sword reached a new pinnacle when Lin Yun landed on the ground. His fist bombarded Ye Liuyun’s chest and sent him flying away. At the same time, the Bloodthrist Mark also collapsed.
“Die!” Lin Yun’s eyes flashed with a murderous aura before Ye Liuyun could get back on his feet. He charged across the stage, with the stage trembling from every step he took. He was determined to kill Ye Liuyun today, regardless if it was for the humiliation he suffered back then or for his promise to Xin Yan.
When he ran, his murderous aura had also reached an unprecedented height. When Ye Liuyun saw Lin Yun running over, his face had turned pale with fear spreading in his heart.
“Get lost!” But just when Lin Yun’s fist was about to hit Ye Liuyun, a silhouette suddenly appeared before Ye Liuyun and sent a palm at Lin Yun’s fist.
When the fist and palm connected, Lin Yun’s face sank while he took three steps back. He was shocked when he raised his head to look at the person blocking him. It was Wang Yan!
“You’ve already won. So you can get lost now,” Wang Yan replied.
He was greatly humiliated when he witnessed Wang Ning being killed. And if Wang Yan allowed Ye Liuyun to be killed today, he would surely take a hit to his reputation. So he had to protect Ye Liuyun no matter what.
On the other side, Xin Yan was briefly surprised before she roared, “Wang Yan, on what basis are you interfering with the challenge!”
“Hmph. He’s one of my Gentlemen Union’s elite, so how can his life be compared to someone as cheap as this brat over here? Bring Liuyun away quickly. With me here, no one can touch him!” Wang Yan sneered. Everyone from the Gentlemen Union immediately acknowledged the order and rushed onto the Life-Death Stage and formed a human wall defending Ye Liuyun.
“But I must kill him today!” Lin Yun was furious. Eight amber radiance burst out, and the Primordial Chaotic Soul, the Aurora Dragon, was summoned. It had a human face and a dragon body, and the ominous aura that it was giving off instantly shocked everyone.
“Get lost!” Lin Yun roared and kicked Wang Yan, who was lost in his thoughts before charging into the Gentlemen Union with the Dragon-Tiger Fist empowered by the Demon Vanquishing Seal. He would send anyone blocking his way flying while he charged towards Ye Liuyun.
“Disciples of the Locket Mountain, charge!” Xin Yan roared, and hundreds of people responded to her. She landed on the Life-Death Stage and clashed with the Gentlemen Union. Under the battle between the two Alliance-Union, the stage that was already damaged finally shattered.
The challenge had suddenly turned into a messy battle, and no one had expected this would happen.
