Chapter 531: Encountering Feng Sha!
"I will give you three breaths to disappear from my sight."
With a dark expression, Li Yun freed himself from the Chen siblings’ entanglement and spoke coldly. His voice was extremely indifferent.
Although he was too lazy to bother with them, that did not mean he had any favorable impression of them. Naturally, he did not want to have any further contact with them either.
"Brother Li Yun, why be so distant?"
However, Chen Haoyan had no self-awareness at all. He called Li Yun "Brother Li Yun" even more affectionately and said, "As the saying goes, no discord, no concord. Although we did not truly fight, we still had a small conflict. What does that mean? It means fate wants us to know each other. Brother Li Yun, from now on, we are on the same side. Do not worry. If anyone dares to provoke you, I will take care of them for you."
"Brother Li Yun..."
Chen Jiaolan smiled even more shyly. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she occasionally stole glances at Li Yun. Her eyes even revealed a faintly intoxicated glow.
Whoosh!
Li Yun felt a chill run down his spine. Without saying another word, he released a strand of Sword Qi and said coldly, "If you do not disappear now, do not blame me for being ruthless."
"Alright, alright."
Chen Haoyan and Chen Jiaolan were startled and quickly said, "We are leaving. We are leaving right now."
As they spoke, the siblings shook their heads and sighed with faces full of regret. They dawdled for quite some time before finally disappearing from Li Yun’s sight.
This scene made Lan Yichen cover his forehead.
Thinking about how he had been repeatedly harassed by this extraordinary pair of siblings earlier, he suddenly felt a sense of collapse rising in his heart.
As for Li Yun, his face was also dark. However, before his expression could improve, Chen Haoyan and Chen Jiaolan actually returned after leaving.
"Brother Li Yun, save us!"
"Big Brother Li Yun, save us quickly!"
The Chen siblings looked utterly disheveled as they shouted and screamed while rushing toward Li Yun and Lan Yichen. However, judging from their demeanor, they did not seem panicked at all. Instead, they looked somewhat excited.
This made Li Yun’s expression become even uglier. He could not help wanting to slash this pair of oddballs with his sword.
But in the next moment, a hook-nosed young man with a gloomy face appeared before Li Yun, closely following the Chen siblings. Around him were more than a dozen cultivators, all moving with cold and hostile auras.
"Hm?"
When Li Yun saw this gloomy young man, his expression immediately turned grave.
This hook-nosed and gloomy-faced young man was actually a 5th level Earthly Core Realm cultivator.
Moreover, even among cultivators at the same level, the aura he emitted was clearly much stronger than that of the bald man. He had evidently reached the perfection of the 5th level Earthly Core Realm and was only a hair’s breadth away from the 6th level Earthly Core Realm.
As for the dozen or so cultivators surrounding the gloomy young man, they were all early-stage Earthly Core Realm experts.
"I originally came here to discuss something with Qi Yan of Flying Feather Stronghold, but I did not expect to catch a few big fish."
The gloomy young man glanced coldly at the corpse of the bald man on the ground, then fixed his gaze on Li Yun and spoke indifferently. "Three cultivators ranked high on the Spirit Ranking, along with a genius who can kill a 4th level Earthly Core Realm cultivator while only being at the 4th level of Mortal Core Realm. If I kill all of you, I imagine the Golden Dragon Hall will face considerable pressure."
Those who could rank on the Spirit Ranking included loose cultivators, but most of them had some sort of background. This was especially true of those ranked in the top fifty of the Spirit Ranking, who almost always had significant forces standing behind them.
For example, Lan Yichen and the Chen siblings were not disciples of the seven great overlord forces, but they still had some backing. As for Li Yun, who came from the Heavenly Sword Sect, his background was even more extraordinary. If all of them died here, the Golden Dragon Hall would indeed fall into a very passive position.
"Who are you?"
Li Yun ignored the gloomy young man’s words and spoke indifferently.
"Feng Sha."
The gloomy young man curled his lips slightly and slowly uttered those two words.
"It is actually him?"
Upon hearing this name, Lan Yichen’s expression changed. "You are the Young Stronghold Master of Heavenly Wind Stronghold, Feng Sha?"
"Hm?"
Li Yun was slightly moved.
Heavenly Wind Stronghold was the strongest among the Seventeen Cloudchain Strongholds, and the Stronghold Master of Heavenly Wind Stronghold had also been the strongest person among them.
The existence of the Seventeen Cloudchain Strongholds was closely tied to Heavenly Wind Stronghold. Without the strong leadership of Heavenly Wind Stronghold’s master, these seventeen strongholds would surely have been scattered and divided, never truly uniting as one.
Although the master of Heavenly Wind Stronghold was already dead, Feng Sha was still the Young Stronghold Master of Heavenly Wind Stronghold. Clearly, he was not an opponent who could be dealt with easily.
This battle would likely be the most difficult one Li Yun had faced since entering the Cloudchain Mountain Range.
"That is right. I am Feng Sha."
Feng Sha nodded and said indifferently, "Since you know who I am, you should understand that you are doomed. Now then, do you plan to commit suicide, or shall I personally send you on your way?"
"Commit suicide? Just because of you?"
Li Yun sneered coldly.
"Very well. In that case, I will have to do it myself."
Feng Sha let out a sinister laugh.
Suddenly, overwhelming evil qi erupted from his body. It rose into the sky like a dark beacon and swirled violently around him. He took a thunderous step forward like a human tank, stirring the air and producing thunderous sounds with each movement. In only a few steps, he had already arrived before Li Yun.
"Die!"
He suddenly struck out with a palm.
