Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

155 Jade Sword, Time for Atonement

At the entrance of the Meridian Gate.

In just a few minutes, the solemn expression on Liu Hongshan’s face gradually eased. After Lin Ran appeared and disappeared hundreds of times, he had already grasped the pattern of his movements!

“You are still young!”

Liu Hongshan sneered and decisively swung the Dragon Roar Dagger to the right!

Clang!

A bright air slash instantly condensed. Almost at the same time, Lin Ran suddenly appeared in the empty spot like a ghost.

As expected, the Half-Moon Air Slash easily split Lin Ran into two.

Lin Ran continued to charge forward with a murderous expression on his face despite being split into two, as if he still didn’t know what had happened. Then, he disappeared like before.

The corners of Liu Hongshan’s mouth twitched. He wanted to sneer. However, before his smile could form, it froze at the corner of his mouth.

Although he watched as Lin Ran’s figure was split into two, his divine sense that was attached to the sword energy did not detect anything. It was as if Lin Ran was just air.

Liu Hongshan’s eyes were filled with confusion. Just as he was about to release his divine sense to investigate, he suddenly sensed a trace of danger.

“Over there!”

Liu Hongshan suddenly turned around and realized that the dangerous aura came from the thick dust.

Seeing this, Liu Hongshan was more confused.

Why was there such a dangerous aura?

If Lin Ran had been hiding in the thick dust and not moving, then who did he just see?

Liu Hongshan frowned as questions popped up in his mind. It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that he had underestimated this opponent from the beginning.

At this moment, a surging aura erupted and swept away the thick dust like a hurricane, revealing Lin Ran’s tall figure!

Liu Hongshan’s eyes widened before he frowned.

He could clearly feel that Lin Ran was still at the sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm. However, for some reason, Lin Ran’s strength was far greater than before. It was to the extent that Liju Hongshan felt threatened!

“What did you do?”

Liu Hongshan asked coldly. There was no longer disdain in his tone. Instead, he sounded very serious.

As he spoke, with a thought, the aura of the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm descended!

The auras of the two of them collided like two invisible ferocious beasts biting and fighting each other, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere!

“I was concentrating on cultivation.”

Lin Ran replied expressionlessly. His voice was not loud, but it carried some kind of magic. Even though the wind was howling between the two of them, Liu Hongshan could still hear it clearly.

“Cultivation?”

Liu Hongshan repeated, and a humiliated expression immediately appeared on his face. “You can actually spare energy to cultivate while fighting with me?”

Lin Ran smiled, but his eyes became colder and colder. His indifferent voice spread with endless killing intent. “I’ll ask you one last time. Do you want to fight or surrender?”

Anger burned in Liu Hongshan’s eyes. At this moment, a figure suddenly tore through the air and fell heavily to the ground.

Huo Qiyun lay on the ground, crying in pain.

“What are you doing here?”

Lin Ran asked coldly without looking back, “This battle is not something you can interfere in. Go back to protect His Majesty!”

Hearing Lin Ran’s voice, Huo Qiyun came back to his senses. Just as he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The pressure here was so dense that he had actually suffered internal injuries.

Even so, Huo Qiyun still struggled and shouted, “The Great Yong Dynasty is sending troops to press on the border. The north is in a tough battle and needs reinforcements urgently!”

Lin Ran was stunned when he heard this. He didn’t understand why the Great Yong Dynasty chose this time to attack. However, when he saw Liu Hongshan not far away, he instantly understood what was going on.

Lin Ran had to admit that Liu Hongshan’s scheme indeed caught him off guard.

He never would have thought that Liu Hongshan would be so loyal to the Great Yong Dynasty!

“You’re really determined to commit treason!”

Lin Ran looked at Liu Hongshan from afar and muttered coldly. After thinking for a moment, he tilted his head slightly and said to Huo Qiyun, “I understand the situation, but I can’t leave now. Can you let the soldiers at the front line hold on for a while longer?”

“You don’t have to go to the front line!”

Huo Qiyun held his chest and replied helplessly, “Give me the token! I’ll go to the front line. You just have to stay here and focus on dealing with this traitor!”

“Token?”

Lin Ran was confused. “What token?”

“Your sword intent!”

Huo Qiyun almost spat out another mouthful of blood. He took a deep breath and reminded him, “Dao Seeking Sect!”

At the mention of the Dao Seeking Sect, Lin Ran finally understood what Huo Qiyun meant. Then, he reached into his pocket and took out six small jade swords. With a thought, he engraved his sword intent on them.

“Tell them it’s time for atonement!”

As Lin Ran spoke, he waved his hand, and six small jade swords flew out of his hand. They each attached to a corner of Huo Qiyun’s collar and instantly sent him away from the battlefield.

After confirming that Huo Qiyun had been sent to a safe place, Lin Ran pulled his thoughts back and continued to look at Liu Hongshan. “Have you considered it? Are you going to fight or surrender?”

Liu Hongshan didn’t answer. He just looked at Lin Ran with a scrutinizing gaze. “What did you give him just now? Why did you attach your sword intent to it? Is it a weapon?”

Lin Ran’s expressionless face didn’t change at all, but his heart tightened.

From the moment he appeared in the dust, the aura of the two of them did not stop for a moment.

However, Liu Hongshan’s divine sense could actually pass through the pressure caused by their auras and acutely capture the wisp of sword intent that was attached to the small jade sword. The difficulty of doing this was comparable to finding a specific pine needle in a pine forest.

This discovery dispirited Lin Ran quite a lot.

He originally thought that Liu Hongshan was just born with divine strength. He did not expect his divine sense to be so sharp as well. From the looks of it, Lin Ran had to abandon his previous plan.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan.
