Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 257

257 Hatred for Killing His Father

Almost instantly, half of Lin Ran’s body felt like it was being pricked by needles. Although it was not intense, it was as annoying as the buzzing of a mosquito on a summer night.

Then, the effect of the evil aura and killing intent began to appear. Lin Ran could clearly feel himself becoming irritable. He even had the urge to kill Huo Qiyun.

Although he had this urge before, it was never as strong as this time. If not for the fact that he had been suppressing it with all his might, he would have already done it.

However, even in this crazy situation, Lin Ran didn’t stop thinking.

!!
All kinds of thoughts appeared and disappeared in his mind, but in the end, Lin Ran still couldn’t think of a solution.

Helpless, Lin Ran took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He began to analyze the current situation again.

The sword intent storm outside was a threat, but after he cut off the roots on Huo Qiyun’s body, there were no longer any new sword intents. As for the remaining ones, the sword energy barrier was enough to withstand them, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

Xiao Huai was unconscious because she was injured, but as long as there was enough evil aura for her to absorb, she would wake up soon, so there was no need to worry for her for the time being.

Therefore, the problem returned to what made Lin Ran the most troubled—Huo Qiyun.

Actually, it would be easy if there was only sword intent. Although Huo Qiyun’s body could not withstand it, it was not a problem for Lin Ran. Perhaps it could even increase his realm by another level.

However, the evil aura and sword intent mixed in were a big problem. Even Lin Ran did not dare to touch these things.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran summoned the Yin-Yang Sword and held it in his hand. The pitch-black half of the sword glowed with a hazy black light. The evil aura in his body immediately began to pour into the Yin-Yang Sword crazily, as if it had been guided by something.

Lin Ran didn’t have a way to deal with the violent killing intent for the time being, so he could only reduce it as much as he could.

At the same time, the sword energy storm outside the barrier began to dissipate. The remaining sword intents slashed through the air, causing a series of clangs, like a bamboo forest blown by the wind.

Outside Sword Grave.

The dark clouds that enveloped Mount Sword had completely disappeared. Sunlight shone on the desolate ground, and from time to time, a weak cold light flashed. It was the sword intens that were still wandering in the mountain.

Everything seemed to be going well until…

“Lin Ran.”

A furious roar broke the silence in Sword Grave.

Lin Ran opened one eye and turned to look. He saw Shen Rulin standing by the black pool, but he didn’t seem to be in the right state.

When the two of them were traveling together, no matter how dangerous the situation was, Shen Rulin could always remain calm.

However, at this moment, Shen Rulin’s hair was disheveled and he looked crazy. Most of the white armor on his body was dyed red with blood, and many places were covered in new sword marks.

“How did he find this place?”

Lin Ran was suspicious, but Huo Qiyun’s situation had just stabilized. It was a critical moment, so he couldn’t divert his attention to explain. He could only suppress the killing intent in his heart and shout, “It’s dangerous here! Don’t get close!”

As soon as he finished speaking, not only did Shen Rulin not retreat, but he even took a few steps forward and stopped by the surging black pool.

The black insects that splashed out landed on his armor and instantly corroded a big hole, but he seemed to not notice it. His crazed eyes landed on the stone platform through his hair and he sneered in a hoarse voice. “Stop pretending! Are you still going to lie to me at this point?”

Lin Ran thought that he was talking about being left by him in the canyon, so he explained patiently, “Don’t misunderstand! When I arrived at the canyon and realized that there was no one there, I knew that I was wrong. The reason why I left you behind was because I didn’t want you to take the risk with me again!”

“Nonsense!”

Shen Rulin roared angrily, “You did it to assassinate my father! Now that you’ve succeeded, are you satisfied?”

“Assassinate your father?”

Lin Ran was stunned when he heard this. He had only seen Shen Rulin’s father’s carriage once and didn’t even know what he looked like. Why would he assassinate him?

However, before Lin Ran could continue asking, the ground under Shen Rulin’s feet exploded, and he turned into a bolt of lightning that shot towards the stone platform!

“I want you to pay with your life!”

Shen Rulin roared crazily. Lin Ran’s expression changed drastically, not because Shen Rulin suddenly attacked, but because Shen Rulin didn’t know the secret of the black pool!

Almost at the same time that Shen Rulin moved, countless black insects in the pool began to stir.

Boom!

A black wave dozens of feet tall rose from the pool and blocked Shen Rulin’s path like a thick wall.

However, Shen Rulin acted as if he did not see it. The speed of the bolt of lightning did not even slow down as he crashed into the black wave.

By the time he crashed out of the other side of the black wave, most of the white armor on his body had already been corroded, and white smoke began to rise from all his skin. What awaited him was a huge wave wall that was taller and thicker.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of someone hitting the water surface sounded four or five times in a row. Shen Rulin finally stood on the stone platform in the pool. His clothes and armor had disappeared, and his skin had been bitten into a dark red color by the black insects. He looked like a person who had just been skinned.

Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel his hair stand on end when he saw this scene. However, just as he was about to persuade Shen Rulin, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Shen Rulin.

Previously, he was too far away to see clearly. Only now did Lin Ran realize that Shen Rulin’s eyes, which were hidden behind his messy hair, were bloodshot. At first glance, he looked extremely angry, but his eyes were hollow.

“You killed my father. I’ll make you pay with your life!”

Shen Rulin gritted his teeth and suddenly swung his sword at Lin Ran without warning!

Clang—

With a loud clang, the Thunderball was blocked by the sword energy barrier.

Lin Ran, who was in the barrier, was shocked. In his moment of absent-mindedness, he forgot to suppress the killing intent in his heart…
