Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

335 Taking What You Need

Sun Ge placed his hand on the hilt of the saber at his waist, and the white robe on “Chen Tianqi” fluttered restlessly.

However, Lin Ran just watched quietly as the countless sharp wind blades swept past him. His expression was as relaxed as if he was bathing in the spring breeze.

After a short but suffocating silence, Lin Ran burst out laughing. “Why are you so excited? I didn’t say that I had to overthrow the Great Yong Dynasty.”

Sun Ge was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“It means that I originally wanted to overthrow the Great Yong Dynasty.”

Lin Ran shrugged nonchalantly and replied indifferently, “But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that there’s no need to tire myself out, but this is indeed my goal, so when you asked, I told you—it’s that simple.”

Sun Ge did not say anything. He turned around and looked at “Chen Tianqi”. Both of them had strange expressions on their faces.

After a few seconds, “Chen Tianqi” asked, “Then if you are not going to overthrow the Great Yong Dynasty anymore, do you have any other motives?”

“Kill Xuan Wushang and Liu Hongshan.”

Lin Ran replied without hesitation. After a pause, he looked at “Chen Tianqi” in the courtyard. “And you.”

Chen Tianqi made Zou Hao die a horrible death in the forest. Killing him was Lin Ran’s promise to Zou Hao.

Xuan Wushang allowed Liu Ruxi to nurture martial artists with evil methods. As a martial artist, Lin Ran naturally had to uphold justice.

Back then, in order to improve his cultivation, Liu Hongshan killed a total of more than 3,000 people in seven villages near Mount Sword.

In short, Lin Ran could ignore the conflicts between those countries, but he had to kill these three people.

On the other side.

Sun Ge had been living in the city for a long time and had no idea who Liu Hongshan was. However, the remaining two names were enough to shock him.

“Can you not kill them?”

Sun Ge asked subconsciously. As soon as he said that, he felt that he was an idiot.

As expected, Lin Ran only shrugged in response to this question. He was not even in the mood to answer.

“Chen Tianqi” suddenly asked, “If I’m not wrong, you want us to help you kill Liu Hongshan, right?”

“That’s right.”

Lin Ran nodded and said seriously, “Liu Hongshan’s strength is comparable to mine. If I fight him head-on, my chances of winning are less than 50%.”

“Is Liu Hongshan actually so powerful?”

Sun Ge was shocked. Although he had never seen Lin Ran use his full strength, he knew that Lin Ran’s strength was definitely beyond his reach.

But now, even Lin Ran said that his chances of winning were less than 50%. How terrifying was Liu Hongshan? Moreover, what could he and Chen Tianqi do to help him fight such a powerful enemy?

Not only was Sun Ge puzzled, but “Chen Tianqi” was also puzzled.

“Chen Tianqi” frowned and asked in confusion, “Are you joking? Our strength is far inferior to yours. How can we kill someone who’s on par with you?”

Lin Ran smiled and looked at “Chen Tianqi” meaningfully. “Of course you don’t have the ability, but Xuan Wushang does.”

Hearing the words “Xuan Wushang”, Chen Tianqi’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly composed himself. “I don’t understand what you mean.”

“It’s actually very simple.”

Lin Ran stretched out his finger and drew a circle in the air. “I’ll prepare a trap that can kill him, but we’ve fought too many times and know each other too well. If I use myself as bait, he’ll definitely be suspicious.”

“Chen Tianqi” asked, “So you want me to summon Liu Hongshan and get him to walk into the trap?”

Lin Ran stared at “Chen Tianqi” for a while before nodding with a smile. “How is it? Isn’t it simple?”

“It does sound simple, but there’s still a premise—”

“Chen Tianqi” paused for a moment, as if he was hesitating if he should say it.

“We can’t let him know that we’re working together, right?”

Lin Ran continued what “Chen Tianqi” wanted to say. Then, he spread his hands and said casually, “This is even simpler. After all, only the three of us know.”

With that, Lin Ran glanced at Sun Ge. Although he didn’t say a word, his penetrating gaze made Sun Ge uncomfortable.

“I won’t spill beans this time!” Sun Ge patted his chest and promised.

“Chen Tianqi” said calmly, his gaze still on Lin Ran. “I can help you, but Liu Hongshan is very cautious. If we don’t want him to notice that we’re working together, we have to minimize your involvement in this plan.”

Hearing this, Sun Ge immediately nodded in agreement. “Tianqi, I think he’s right. Actually, our plan is almost perfect. There are just a few stumbling blocks.”

“Previously, we couldn’t deal with them because we weren’t strong enough. However, with his help, we will definitely be able to make those people disappear without anyone knowing. At that time, we can take the opportunity to push our plan forward and complete it.”

As if convinced by Sun Ge’s words, “Chen Tianqi” finally nodded with a sinister expression. “In that case, I hope our cooperation will be fruitful.”

Lin Ran smiled. In the next second, he suddenly appeared in front of “Chen Tianqi”. He was so fast that even Sun Ge, who was standing between the two of them, did not notice it.

Almost at the same time, “Chen Tianqi”‘s pupils constricted, and the white robe on his body suddenly billowed. However, Lin Ran didn’t attack him. He only stretched out his right hand and looked at him with a smile. “I wish us a happy cooperation!”

“Chen Tianqi” didn’t say anything. He narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Ran’s right hand, his malicious eyes filled with vigilance.

Seeing the other party’s vigilant expression, Lin Ran explained, “This is a new etiquette that has been popular in the Heavenly Saint Dynasty recently. By shaking hands, the cooperation will be officially established.”

“Is there such etiquette?”

“Chen Tianqi”‘s eyes were filled with suspicion, but in the end, he still reached out to shake hands with Lin Ran.

No one noticed that the moment the two of them shook hands, an extremely faint sword intent was released from Lin Ran’s palm. A corner of Fluttering Cloud was cut off and fell into Lin Ran’s sleeve with the wind.
