novelThe Eldest Senior Brother of the Hundred Flowers Valley
| ← Ch.089 | Ch.091 → |
When Lin An crossed the sea of fire and landed beside the other cultivators, he could feel their icy stares scanning his entire body.
"Eh, fellow Daoist, what a stroke of luck!"
The other cultivators squeaked as they tried to find the right words to flatter Lin An. However, they couldn't find any adjectives to describe him.
In the end, they could only say dryly, "That was a powerful move. You were very lucky..."
On his part, Lin An hurriedly said a few humble words to acknowledge their praise.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Lin An was conversing with the cultivators, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them. His speed was as fast as a shooting star, and in a few breaths, he had arrived in front of everyone.
Judging from the man's uniform, he was also a disciple from the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect.
He looked to be the disciple in charge of the trial site, and judging from his aura, he wasn't below the nascent soul stage.
It was clear that the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect was extremely powerful. Even a disciple whose only responsibility was to maintain order had such a high cultivation level.
When the disciple scanned his surroundings, he was first attracted by the gigantic crack that had formed on the ground. He frowned and asked in the direction of the sea of fire formation, "What's going on?"
Suddenly, a burst of light shone from the formation's eye, and soon after, the two female disciples who were responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the formation walked out. There were still traces of shock on their faces.
After they came out, they first glanced at Lin An before saying to the nascent soul cultivator, "This is... His sword split it open."
As the female cultivator spoke, she pointed at Lin An.
"Sword?" The nascent soul cultivator was first stunned, and he quickly turned his gaze toward Lin An.
However, Lin An apologetically cupped his hands toward the Hundred Flowers Valley disciple.
"You're out. Wait here for my eldest senior brother to punish you, " the disciple said directly to Lin An.
When he heard the disciple's words, Lin An's face immediately darkened.
The two female disciples from the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect were slightly stunned. They looked at Lin An and then at the senior brother as if they wanted to say something, but they hesitated and remained silent.
"I just want to ask, did you set a rule that a cultivator can't break the sea of fire spell formation when you set up the trial? If you did, then forgive me for not obeying."
"Hmph!"
The nascent soul stage cultivator snorted coldly. He raised his hand and gathered a blast of vast natural spiritual energy out of thin air.
Suddenly, a flying sword was suspended in front of him. A sparkling and translucent green light shone on it, and his mana appeared to forge with the sword.
"This... This is the Hundred Flowers Spirit Sword!"
When they heard the words, several challengers immediately cried out in surprise.
The Hundred Flowers Spirit Sword possessed powerful offensive power, and with the addition of the disciple's spiritual energy, the sword was not only a lethal weapon, but it was also a healing object.
It could kill the enemy and simultaneously regenerate itself all at the same time.
Because of the uniqueness of the Hundred Flowers Spirit Sword, a majority of the cultivators from the other sects on the Cangyun Continent couldn't match up to the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect disciples in a battle.
Additionally, the senior brother from the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect was also a nascent soul-stage powerhouse.
The few challengers immediately felt that Lin An, who had been in the limelight a few moments ago, was going to be unlucky. After all, he was only a cultivator at the peak of the golden core stage.
Whoosh!
The senior brother from the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect waved his hand, and the flying sword hovering next to him let out a clear chime and suddenly charged toward Lin An with bursts of light.
"Ha! Petty tricks!" Lin An snorted coldly.
He unsheathed the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword from his waist and suddenly slashed forward.
It was just a simple slash, but a violent and terrifying aura had been released from the strike.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Lin An's strike cut the extremely powerful Hundred Flowers Spirit Sword in half.
Even though the Hundred Flowers Spirit Sword was a top-grade weapon, it couldn't compare to the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword, which had the strength equivalent to a third-level nascent soul stage cultivator.
The violent power released after the two swords collided caused the expressions of the two female disciples to change. Their hearts were filled with shock, and they felt as if they had just seen a grim reaper wave his hand.
"Senior Brother, be careful!"
The two female disciples cried out in alarm!
The expression of the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect senior brother did not change. His figure instantly turned into a blur, and the green light he had transformed into slowly drifted backward.
Suddenly, a violent power spread out and passed through the green light, but it did not cause any injuries to the Hundred Flowers Valley senior brother.
"Eh? What a powerful technique!"
Lin An was a little surprised. The green light had actually protected the nascent soul stage disciple, and the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword's attack had no effect on him.
The exchange once again proved that the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect's foundation was extraordinary. The nascent soul stage senior brother was stronger than all the nascent soul cultivators that Lin An had encountered in his past battles.
Of course, Saint Zi Yan wasn't included in that list since she had lowered her cultivation to the peak of the golden core stage. However, Lin An wasn't sure about the extent of Saint Zi Yan's power.
The Hundred Flowers Valley Sect's senior brother only recovered after landing a few hundred meters away.
After experiencing the power of Lin An's powerful strike, he didn't dare to act rashly anymore. He only stared at Lin An with a fearful expression.
The nascent soul stage cultivator understood that Lin An hadn't used his full strength in their previous confrontation. However, his strongest magic treasure, the Hundred Flowers Spirit Sword, had been destroyed. That could only mean that his strength was far inferior to Lin An's.
The two female disciples had also been greatly frightened.
After their senior brother's Hundred Flowers Spirit Sword had been cut in half, they had thought that he was going to die on the spot.
Fortunately, the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect's techniques were exquisite, and they had allowed their senior brother to escape death.
Lin An's powerful strength and decisive ruthlessness had also left a deep impression in the hearts of the two female cultivators.
On their part, the challengers at the side were completely dumbfounded. They had thought that even if Lin An could survive the attack from the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect's senior brother, he would still be severely injured.
However, they hadn't expected that Lin An would defeat the nascent soul stage disciple after only one round. He has also destroyed the disciple's most valuable treasure.
The cultivators all felt that Lin An seemed to be too powerful!
"I really didn't expect that he could be so strong even though he is at the golden core stage!" The challengers couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
Whoosh!
At that moment, another handsome figure floated down from the sky above.
In an instant, the white-robed man, who had starry brows and sword-like eyes, landed between Lin An and the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect senior brother.
Lin An guessed that the man was the eldest senior brother that the nascent soul stage cultivator had mentioned.
Sure enough, the two female disciples and the nascent soul cultivator both bowed their heads in fear.
However, the eldest senior brother didn't respond to the two female cultivators. His deep eyes looked at the nascent soul stage senior brother, and he said calmly, "I asked you to come down and see what happened. Is this how you work for me?"
The nascent soul stage disciple immediately lowered his head and cupped his hands toward the eldest senior brother."Please punish me, eldest senior brother!"
"You didn't provoke me, so why are you asking for my punishment?" Suddenly, the eldest senior brother turned and pointed at Lin An."You should apologize to him!"𝐟𝓇𝘦𝒆we𝒃𝘯oνe𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
The nascent soul stage disciple was instantly shocked. He couldn't believe the instructions he had received, but he didn't dare to refute the eldest senior brother's decision.
He clenched his fists and slowly walked towards Lin An. After he lowered his head, he said in a meek voice, "I'm sorry, fellow Daoist. I was too rude!"
The change in the nascent soul stage disciple's attitude was really hard for everyone to imagine.
The eldest senior brother from the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect had actually asked his own disciple to apologize to an outsider?
It seemed to be a rare act of reasoning that went against the ruthless nature of the cultivation world.
At the same time, it also indirectly proved that Lin An's strength was so intimidating that the eldest senior brother wouldn't dare to provoke him.
Since the nascent soul stage disciple had already apologized, Lin An didn't bother too much. He accompanied the other aspiring cultivators as they walked towards the registration area for the second stage of the trial.
