The Sovereign’s Ascension

Chapter 246



Chapter 246

Ominous aura wasn’t the same as murderous aura. If you took too many lives, you would gradually have an ominous aura forming around you, and they could practically be found on demonic beasts. Demonic beasts were violent, and they knew how to convert their murderous aura into ominous aura since birth.

However, cultivating ominous aura was a path of no return. After all, you couldn’t find them on sects’ disciples or on righteous cultivators.

The middle-aged man with a longbow on his back grinned while looking at the crowd with his eyes squinted. The other middle-aged man stood in the shadow like a viper. But he didn’t seem to have any plans to take action.

Zuo Yun locked his brows together. Ordinary wandering cultivators wouldn’t dare to provoke sects’ disciples, but it seems that the two of them had done such things in the past from how fearless they looked.

They were in the fifth stage of the Profound Martial Realm, and Zuo Yun knew that no one here would be able to escape aside from him when the battle breaks out. Lin Yun would also be in danger.

“It just so happens that my ominous aura seems to have regressed recently. You sects’ disciples possess vigorous vitality, and I will likely make progress in my ominous aura after killing you guys.” The middle-aged man grinned.

“S-S-Senior Brother, what should we do?” Zhang Ping and the others were trembling with fright. The middle-aged man’s cultivation was twice theirs, and the tension made them feel suffocating. Furthermore, the disciples who had never experienced such a scene in the past had their faces drained of all colors.

They were actually having a tough time circulating their cultivation under the ominous aura. Zuo Yun snorted and took a step forth, “If you guys are seeking wealth, we can hand over our spiritual jades. But if you guys insist on doing this the hard way, the Primal Origin Sect isn’t a pushover!”

The power of dracophant permeated from Zuo Yun, and his aura began to rise. At that moment, his aura was on par with the middle-aged man’s ominous aura, reducing the pressure that Zhang Ping and the others felt.

The middle-aged man raised his brow and looked surprised. The smile on his face slowly disappeared and was gradually replaced with a grave expression.

“Are you threatening me?” The middle-aged man became furious, and his ominous aura grew stronger.

“I’m not threatening you but offering you a transaction. Each of us will give you 1,000 spiritual jades, and you’ll let us go. We’ll pretend that none of this took place.” Zuo Yun’s confidence died down when he saw the middle-aged man getting angry.

The middle-aged man fell into silence. He seemed to be hesitating as he turned to look at the black-clothed middle-aged man, which the latter nodded inadvertently in the shadows.

The middle-aged man then turned back, and he said, “Okay. But I want 2,000 spiritual jades each. No negotiation!”

“2,000?” Zuo Yun’s face turned dark. It was a large sum, but it was worthed it since he could use them to protect Zhang Ping and the others’ lives. Gnashing his teeth, he replied, “Deal!”

“Then you come over.” The middle-aged man demanded.

Zuo Yun patted on his interspatial pouch and wanted to take out the spiritual jades. But right when he was slightly distracted, he suddenly felt a wisp of threat. A black shadow dashed out and bit down on his neck before he could even respond. It was a poisonous snake, and Zuo Yun instantly felt weak when the poison kicked in.

“Hahaha! Sects’ disciples are as naive as ever!” The middle-aged man laughed. His aura suddenly surged wildly and became doubled.

“Senior Brother!” Zhang Ping and the others exclaimed out. “What a bunch of garbage. Kneel and die obediently!” His ominous aura was intense, and the pressure made those in the third stage of the Profound Martial Realm like Zhang Ping drop on their knees with blood leaking from their lips. The ominous aura was like an invisible mountain crashing down on them.

The middle-aged man had a trace of disdain in his eyes, and he cursed, “What a bunch of garbage. It’s a waste for the sects’ resources to be used on the likes of you guys.”

“Is that so?” Right at this moment, a sneer sounded out.

When the middle-aged man raised his head, he saw a fist coming right at his face. When he recovered from the shock, it was already too late for him to dodge the fist that was infused with sword intent. The fist was like a sword, which left behind afterimages.

The roars of dragon and tiger echoed out, leaving behind seven afterimages that overlapped together and slammed onto the middle-aged man’s chest. The middle-aged man was sent flying, throwing out a huge mouthful of blood before he fell onto the ground.

When the middle-aged man tried to get up on his feet, the cracking noise coming from his ribs made him collapse back onto the ground. The seven fists overlapped with sword intent wreaked havoc in his body that immobilized him.

He had fear pouring out from his eyes as he muttered, “H-h-how is that possible?! How can you defeat me with just one punch?!”

The youth before him was only in the second stage of the Profound Martial Realm. Right at this moment, a black shadow quietly bolted at Lin Yun’s neck. However, Lin Yun didn’t seem to have noticed it and continued walking towards the middle-aged man.

When the other middle-aged man in black clothes saw this scene in the shadows, he sneered. Right at this moment, a surge of demonic aura exploded from the Dragon Blooded Horse. Like a bolt of lightning, it dashed forth, biting on the snake, and began chewing.

The Dragon Blooded Horse grinned at the middle-aged man donned in black clothes, revealing its bucktooth while it chewed on the snake.

“My Blackloop Snake!” The black-clothed middle-aged man’s eyes nearly fell off the eye sockets. He kept the Blackloop Snake for nearly a decade, and it killed many people for him. But today, it was actually eaten by a horse…

The Dragon Blooded Horse then executed the Thunder Charge, turning into a dazzling bolt of lightning along with a wisp of dragon aura. Before the middle-aged man in black could respond, he was hit by the Dragon Blooded Horse’s horn, drilling a hole in his chest.

The Thunder Charge was a lot more powerful than when it was used on Lin Yun. The middle-aged man in black was sent flying. When he fell onto the ground, he immediately got up and began to run for his life. He no longer had the arrogance he had before.

“Can you even escape?” Lin Yun sneered after killing the other middle-aged man. He raised his hand and opened the sword box. Petals revolved around him like a tornado, and he grabbed onto the Flower Burial Sword.

When he grabbed onto the Flower Burial Sword, a boundless domineering aura gushed out from Lin Yun’s body, and he executed the Overlord Sword. Lin Yun soared into the sky along with flower petals around him, reducing everything within his path into fragments.

The middle-aged man in black who was running suddenly felt his heart sinking because he felt threatened. But the moment when he turned around, he was split into two before he could see anything.

Lin Yun returned his sword to the sheath while he stood among the rain without any blood on his clothes. When the Primal Origin Sect’s disciples saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded with disbelief, especially Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping’s mouth was so wide open that he could even stuff an egg in. He never expected that the person he had been looking down on would be so powerful. When he thought of how he provoked Lin Yun over and over again, Zhang Ping couldn’t help feeling a chill down his spine. If Lin Yun had an easily irritable temper, he would’ve died over nine times by now!

The thought of this made Zhang Ping tremble while he muttered, “Holy shit… Just what kind of mess did I get myself into…”
