Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

255 Missed a Good Opportunity

Despair sprouted in Lin Ran’s heart, but before it could take root, it was instantly crushed by Liu Hongshan’s next words.

“The fact that you found this jade talisman means that you’ve already separated the two of them.”

“Originally, if you leave them alone, when Xiao Huai recovers, she will naturally be separated from Huo Qiyun, and Huo Qiyun can at least break through to the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm, but now—”

There was another familiar silence. Liu Hongshan chuckled slyly and said, “I don’t know what realm Huo Qiyun can break through to, and I don’t know when Xiao Huai will wake up. Huo Qiyun lost a chance to increase his realm, and you obtained a severely injured demon…”

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the jade talisman was crushed by Lin Ran. He had already heard the answer he wanted. As for what Liu Hongshan wanted to say next, he was not interested at all.

“Liu Hongshan!”

Lin Ran gritted his teeth. The main purpose of Liu Hongshan leaving the jade talisman was to anger him. Although Lin Ran didn’t want to admit it, it was obvious that Liu Hongshan had succeeded.

However, before Lin Ran could explode with anger, the originally quiet Sword Grave shook. Then, all the evil aura and killing intent in Sword Grave boiled and condensed into wisps of black fog that gathered towards Xiao Huai!

Apart from the evil aura and killing intent, Lin Ran could clearly feel the sword intent around him begin to gather. At the same time, Huo Qiyun’s aura began to rise steadily!

The pressure of the first level of the Grandmaster Realm descended, followed by the second level, the third level… It only gradually stabilized when Huo Qiyun was about to enter the sixth level.

At the same time, countless sword intent began to appear in the air. The flickering cold light made Sword Grave look like a dazzling galaxy.

Even the furious Lin Ran couldn’t help but be a little stunned by such a beautiful scene. Just as he was in a daze, a cold light flashed past and a wound appeared on his cheek. He didn’t even see what it was!

The moment the pain entered his brain, Lin Ran had already summoned the Yin-Yang Sword. Thousands of condensed sword energy swept out and instantly formed a sword energy cage to protect the three of them.

Almost at the same time, the sword intents that flickered like stars began to fly crazily. In just a moment, fine cracks appeared on the sword energy cage. Lin Ran had no choice but to slash out thousands of sword energy to maintain the protective barrier.

In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet Sword Grave had become a battlefield.

Hearing the howling wind outside, Lin Ran inexplicably felt that even with his cultivation, he would definitely be minced without a bone if he went out.

This was only what Lin Ran saw. In places he didn’t see, this scene of carnage happened on almost every inch of Mount Sword!

Facing this sudden sword intent storm, the first to suffer was the Golden Guards who were investigating.

Almost at the same time the sword intent appeared, dozens of Golden Guards fell to the ground in a mess. By the time the others reacted and retreated from Mount Sword, the number of casualties had already exceeded 300!

There were only about a thousand guards in the entire Golden Guards, and they had lost 30% of them in the blink of an eye.

Just as everyone was trembling in fear, someone discovered another phenomenon, or rather, two phenomena.

First, the dark clouds that enveloped Mount Sword began to gather. Then, the divine swords that filled the mountain began to rust and decay like flowers that had lost their nutrients. When they fell to the ground, they turned into rust-colored scraps. Even the gems on them shattered into pieces.

At the same time, in the cave that led to Sword Grave that Lin Ran had opened previously.

Shen Rulin and his father crawled out of a hole. Before they could get their bearings, Shen Qingquan suddenly shouted, “Be careful.” Then, he pushed Shen Rulin away.

Pfft!

Shen Rulin hurriedly turned around and saw his father standing where he was just now. His arm was still in the posture of pushing him, but the area below his elbow was gone…

“Father!”

Shen Rulin’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Just as he was about to step forward to check, he was suddenly forced to fall to the ground by a sharp pain. Only then did he realize that the armor on his leg had been cut open and blood was flowing out of the wound. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

“Don’t be rash! Retreat first!”

As Shen Qingquan spoke, he retreated into the hole. His voice was as calm and powerful as ever, as if the person with half of his arm cut off was someone else.

Hearing his father’s calm voice, Shen Rulin calmed down immediately. He curled up to protect his vitals and quickly crawled into the hole.

“Father! How are you?”

As soon as he entered the hole, Shen Rulin hurriedly asked.

“I’m fine.”

As Shen Qingquan spoke, he reached out and pressed a hand on Shen Rulin’s chest. Then, boundless pure internal energy was injected into him.

Shen Rulin was about to refuse when he heard Shen Qingquan say in a low voice, “Don’t move! I can’t get out of here with my old bones. It’s a waste to keep this internal energy in me. Hurry up and circulate your internal energy to heal. I have something to tell you.”

“Father…”

Shen Rulin wanted to say something, but when he felt the force coming from the hand on his chest, he finally shut his mouth and began to circulate his energy to heal as he was told.

“Since you were young, I’ve always been very strict with you—don’t speak—I know you know in your heart that I’m strict with you for your own good, but I always feel like I owe you something.”

As he spoke, Shen Rulin felt his father’s hand move to his outer shoulder. Then, a withered body leaned over.

“Fortunately, the two of us are relatively thin, so we can still hug in such a cramped place.”

Shen Rulin trembled and his eyes instantly turned red. “Father…”

“Don’t speak. Heal well.”

After saying that, Shen Qingquan returned to his original position and continued to inject internal energy into Shen Rulin. “I’ve used my divine sense to check. From here, there’s a huge space about 150 feet to the left. There’s a master there who’s far stronger than me. It should be Lin Ran, whom we’ve been looking for.”

Hearing that his father had found Lin Ran, Shen Rulin suddenly had a strange feeling.

On the one hand, finding Lin Ran meant that he could leave this place, but on the other hand, Lin Ran’s previous suspicious actions did not make sense. At the thought that Lin Ran might want to attack his father, Shen Rulin had the urge to escape.

“Find him! Get out of here!”

Just as Shen Rulin was letting his imagination run wild, his father pressed his chest heavily and then fell weakly to the ground…
