Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

Chapter 269 - 269 Taking advantage of the Situation



269 Taking advantage of the Situation

Questions flashed across Lin Ran’s mind.

Before he could figure it out, Liu Hongshan said, “Speaking of which… since you came to find me to fight, why didn’t you look for me directly? Instead, you walked around here.”

“I lost something here last time, so I came over to look for it.”

Lin Ran replied without thinking. At the same time, he made a bold decision—he had to take the initiative to trigger those killing intent.

!!

The killing intent had been lingering in Sword Grave for a hundred or even a thousand years. Even Lin Ran had to resist it with all his might to prevent it from being corroded by it. He didn’t believe that Liu Hongshan could absorb it, let alone eliminate it easily!

Lin Ran exerted efforts and quickly felt something stir in the depths of his consciousness, meaning that the killing intent was not completely gone yet.

Lin Ran smiled smugly. Although Liu Hongshan always looked unfathomable, he was actually nothing much!

Ten steps away, Liu Hongshan didn’t know what Lin Ran was thinking, but he could sense the change in Lin Ran’s aura.

Seeing that Lin Ran was suddenly relieved, Liu Hongshan couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. He changed the topic and asked, “Then have you found what you lost?”

Lin Ran shook his head with a faint smile. With a flash of white light in his hand, Tu Baichuan’s heavy sword was put back into the Divine Sword Technique Manual and replaced with the Yin-Yang Sword that he was most familiar with.

“It seems that you’ve really regained your composure.”

Liu Hongshan looked at the black and white sword in Lin Ran’s hand and revealed an ambiguous smile. Then, he changed the topic and asked, “What are you looking for? Tell me and I’ll help you find it.”

Lin Ran asked with interest, “Oh? Why are you helping me?”

“To let you go back early.”

Liu Hongshan said without thinking. “The situation in the Great Yong Dynasty is a little complicated now. My plan has just reached a critical stage. It’s best if you don’t stay here.”

Lin Ran rolled his eyes. “Is it because of Liu Ruxi?”

“Yes and no.”

Liu Hongshan nodded and shook his head. Before Lin Ran could ask further, he continued, “So what are you looking for? Tell me and I’ll help you. If not… please leave.”

Lin Ran wanted to attack directly, but on second thought, he felt that it was inappropriate.

It was said that the enemy knew you the best. Lin Ran had fought Liu Hongshan so many times that he could now tell if what Liu Hongshan said was true or not.

Just now, when Liu Hongshan said that he could absorb killing intent, Lin Ran didn’t believe him. However, this time, he did not doubt it. In other words, the complicated situation in the Great Yong Dynasty was most likely true.

Although Lin Ran had always liked to take advantage of the situation, the current situation was unknown. If he took action on his own and implicated the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, it would be too embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran looked at Liu Hongshan and said seriously, “I’m looking for a saber.”

“Saber?”

Liu Hongshan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Lin Ran nodded and continued, “I’m looking for a top-notch saber with exquisite workmanship that can cut iron like mud!”

Liu Hongshan was stunned for a moment before revealing a helpless smile. “You’re here to take advantage of me, right?”

“Bingo!”

Lin Ran nodded and admitted, “I just want to get a good saber from you. Do you agree or not?”

As he spoke, a Yin-Yang pattern ten steps wide spread out from under Lin Ran’s feet. The black and white colors seemed to be pushing and pulling each other, slowly rotating at an extremely slow speed, but it seemed to contain endless killing intent.

Seeing this scene, Liu Hongshan knew that Lin Ran was really prepared to make a move. Although he could not rule out the possibility that Lin Ran was bluffing, the current situation in the Great Yong Dynasty made him not dare to take the risk.

After frowning slightly and hesitating for a moment, Liu Hongshan finally gave in. He sighed and said helplessly, “Follow me.”

With that, Liu Hongshan turned into a shadow and flashed into the distance. Lin Ran smiled and followed on his Yin-Yang Sword.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll lure you into a trap?”

After Lin Ran caught up, Liu Hongshan asked with a faint smile.

“Is there a need for you to do this?”

Lin Ran chuckled and pursed his lips. “Even if there’s really a trap, you’ll still have to fight me personally in the end. In that case, why bother setting up a trap?”

Liu Hongshan smiled and did not say anything else. At the same time, a small city appeared in their vision.

When he first saw this city, Lin Ran felt a little strange because the size of this city was about the same as an ordinary town in the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. If Liu Hongshan wanted to bring him to get the “treasure saber”, shouldn’t he go to those large cities?

Before Lin Ran could ask, the two of them had already arrived in front of the city. It was only at this moment that Lin Ran realized what was different about this city.

The entire city was surrounded by a thick wall, but unlike ordinary city walls, the city wall was black and shining with a cold light. It looked like it was made of metal.

The entire city wall was 30 feet tall and ten feet thick. The surface was engraved with exquisite and complicated patterns that could still be seen clearly even after the passage of time.

There were beast heads decorating the outside of the wall at regular intervals. There were no gaps, as if the wall was built as one.

While he was thinking, the two of them had already landed at the city gate.

As if sensing Lin Ran’s confusion or just to show off, Liu Hongshan looked up at the exquisite patterns on the city wall and introduced proudly, “This city is called Iron City. As for why it’s called that, you should be able to tell, right?”

Lin Ran glanced at Liu Hongshan and didn’t answer. He changed the topic and asked, “Aren’t you taking me to get a saber?”

“The saber is in the city.”

Liu Hongshan raised his chin at Iron City. “The people living in this city are the best saber forgers in the Great Yong Dynasty. There are also a few famous sabers that are the treasures of this city.”

Hearing the words “treasure of the city”, Lin Ran’s eyes lit up. He was already prepared to be fooled by Liu Hongshan, but he didn’t expect him to be so generous!
