Chapter 652: Thunder Rain Soul Seizing!
"You!"
Xuan Qingdao revealed anger.
He could disregard his own death, but Elder Chen Ming’s threat against the lives of everyone in Martial Ascension Gate forced him to yield.
In the end, he let out a long sigh and took out the sect master token of Martial Ascension Gate. It was a small sword-shaped token, about the size of a palm, perfectly matching the concave area in the precious sword at the center of the altar.
"Excellent."
Grabbing the sect master token, Elder Chen Ming revealed a smug smile.
By now, he had come to a realization. As long as he could obtain the legacy within this altar, why would he need to fear even Yan Wuhen?
At worst, he could simply leave the Azure Void Region and flee far away.
He strode forward, reaching the giant sword in only a few steps, and was about to place the sect master token into the concave area.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a burst of Sword Qi suddenly erupted.
In that instant, Li Yun launched a surprise attack. His figure darted like lightning, appearing before Elder Chen Ming in an instant. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his sword.
"Thunder Rain Soul-Seizing!"
Boom!
In a split second, the void seemed to thunder.
Before Elder Chen Ming, a scene of torrential rain suddenly appeared. The downpour fell like pillars, and in the next moment, countless raindrops transformed into sharp and fierce Sword Qi, stabbing viciously toward his mind.
"Ah!"
Suddenly attacked and caught off guard, Elder Chen Ming felt a sharp pain in his soul and could not help letting out a shrill scream.
"You are courting death!"
However, he was, after all, a powerhouse at the 6th level of Heavenly Core Realm. With a roar, he immediately regained his senses and struck out with a palm. His surging essence qi erupted, sending Li Yun flying.
Bang!
Li Yun’s figure retreated explosively.
Elder Chen Ming’s strike in anger was no small matter. With just one hit, Li Yun was sent flying more than ten meters away.
However, after steadying himself, a faint smile appeared on Li Yun’s face.
That sudden attack had caused significant damage to Elder Chen Ming, costing him at least thirty percent of his combat power. At most, he now had only seventy percent of his peak strength remaining.
In a head-on confrontation, Thunder Rain Soul-Seizing would definitely not have achieved such a strong effect. But by catching Elder Chen Ming off guard, Li Yun had made him suffer a great loss right at the start.
"Li Yun, it is actually you?"
Elder Chen Ming’s expression became extremely gloomy.
He had been just about to open the legacy, only for it to be disrupted at the last moment. How could he not be furious?
And when he clearly saw the appearance of the attacker, his shock and rage reached the extreme.
Li Yun.
The person who had ambushed him was actually this kid.
"Indeed, it is me."
Li Yun’s expression was cold as he shouted, "Elder Chen Ming, not long ago, your eldest disciple Feng Wuyin was killed by me. Next, it will be your turn."
"What did you say?"
Elder Chen Ming’s face changed drastically.
He knew Li Yun was intentionally provoking him, but at this moment, he still could not help becoming enraged.
In his life, he had taken a total of six apprentices. Among them, he had favored his second disciple, Senior Brother Qianmo, the most. As for his eldest disciple, Feng Wuyin, although he had not doted on him as much as Senior Brother Qianmo, he still held high hopes for him.
After all, Feng Wuyin was the strongest among his six disciples and the only one who had reached the Heavenly Core Realm.
But now, following Senior Brother Qianmo, Feng Wuyin had also died at Li Yun’s hands.
Adding Bai Yichen, his sixth disciple, and another fifth disciple who had also fallen earlier, four of his six apprentices had actually died at Li Yun’s hands.
"Li Yun, I must say, you have successfully infuriated me."
Elder Chen Ming’s face was gloomy to the extreme. His eyes were filled with dense killing intent, and the aura around him became increasingly violent.
"Today, if I do not kill you, I am not Chen Ming."
As soon as his voice fell, his wrist flicked, and a precious sword appeared in his palm. The moment the sword appeared, it radiated brilliant light, like a blazing sun suddenly bursting open.
The light was so intense that it became almost impossible to look at directly. If a cultivator below the Heavenly Core Realm tried to forcefully stare at it, their eyes might be injured on the spot.
Elder Chen Ming swung his sword.
"Great Thousand Light Sword."
In an instant, countless beams of light erupted from the precious sword.
There were hundreds of them at a glance, and every beam carried sharp and destructive force. They poured toward Li Yun from all directions like a brilliant storm of sword light, leaving almost no gap for escape.
Li Yun’s expression became extremely solemn.
He knew very well that Elder Chen Ming was not an ordinary opponent. Even after being injured and losing a large portion of his combat power, Elder Chen Ming was still a 6th level Heavenly Core Realm powerhouse.
Such a person could not be compared to the opponents Li Yun had faced before.
If he held anything back, he would die.
"Slow Sword."
Li Yun let out a sharp cry.
His sword moved in his hand, and the mysterious rhythm of Slow Sword immediately spread out.
At the same time, two different Sword Intents surged from his body.
One was cold, crimson, and filled with an absolute will to slaughter. It was the Slaughter Sword Intent that had reached thirty percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage.
The other was pure, ancient, and filled with undying sharpness. It was the Immortal Sword Intent that had reached twenty percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage.
The two Sword Intents overlapped around his blade, causing the power of his sword to rise sharply.
