YM778.TV Chapter 97 - A Crisis of Trust
After a series of cries, the group of hooligans were knocked back down again.
The newly made red robe was turned into totters, but the young man did not feel bad about it at all because he had always fallen into unconsciousness.
“Aiya… How did this happen?”
Lin Ran looked serious and puzzled. In fact, in order to hold back his laughter, he was biting his lip so hard that it was bleeding.
The burly man stood at the door, looking like he was about to cry.
Because of the previous lesson, when his brother went to get the sword, he focused almost all his attention on Lin Ran.
However, he still did not find any internal energy fluctuations.
“Could it be that my brother is really not strong enough? But if that’s the case, why is that person fine with it? No! He must be a master!”
The burly man thought to himself. His brain, which had not been used for a long time, finally lit up.
At this moment, the burly man suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if a cold viper was crawling up on him. He turned around and saw Lin Ran staring at him with shining eyes.
“Why don’t… you give it a try?”
Lin Ran’s voice resembled that of a demon’s. The burly man’s face turned pale. He grabbed his brother on the ground and ran away without looking back.
“Tsk! How boring. I thought I could play for a while longer!”
Lin Ran rolled his eyes in boredom and put away the Ten Miles Dragon Roar. After some thought, he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and called out, “Waiter!”
“Sir, what can I do for you?”
The waiter shouted from upstairs. When he realized that the group of troublemakers had left, he went downstairs step by step.
Lin Ran threw the silver ingot over and instructed, “Close this inn. I’ll book it for three days.”
This inn could only earn 20 to 30 taels a year. Ten taels for three days was a good deal, so the waiter agreed happily.
Lin Ran flashed back upstairs and was wondering if he should sleep or go out for a walk. However, when he pushed open the door, his mind went blank!
Huo Qiyun lay paralyzed in the sword energy cage. His face was ashen and he was foaming at the mouth. His body even twitched from time to time. It was obvious that he was suffocating.
“Oh no! I forgot to leave a gap!”
Lin Ran slapped his forehead. Before he went downstairs, he was worried that Huo Qiyun would be disturbed by the outside world, so he used the sword energy cage to isolate him.
However, this sword energy cage not only isolated the outside world, but also the air.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Ran dispersed the sword energy cage and quickly helped Huo Qiyun up from the ground. He asked anxiously, “Qiyun? Huo? Huo?”
After shouting a few times, there was no response. Lin Ran looked at Huo Qiyun’s lips, which were tightly pressed together and covered in foam, and thought to himself, “Is he really going to die?”
Just as Lin Ran was about to give him first aid, Huo Qiyun finally opened his eyes.
“Hey! You are dead yet. How are you? Are you feeling well?”
When Lin Ran was overjoyed! He had never been so happy in his life!
Huo Qiyun wiped his mouth and nodded. Then, an aura of the ninth level of senior Martial Master Realm rippled out. Although it was weak, it was filled with a strong killing intent.
Lin Ran knew why, so he wasn’t surprised. He reached out and took the Sword Technique that he had written down. “Keep it well. Although you’ve memorized it, you still need it when I teach you.”
Huo Qiyun glanced at the sword technique and unsheathed the sword in his hand. In an instant, a storm of sword energy tore the sword technique into pieces.
Lin Ran’s expression darkened. “What are you doing?”
“I don’t believe you!”
Huo Qiyun said coldly, “Didn’t you say that you saw this sword technique in a cave on Mount Sword? Bring me there. I want to see the one written by Grandpa Sword God with my own eyes!”
When Lin Ran heard this, he hesitated. It was not that he believed there was anything wrong with the sword technique he copied, but the skeleton of the Ten Miles Sword God was buried at the entrance of the cave in a very rashed manner. If Huo Qiyun saw it, he would definitely fight him to the death!
Huo Qiyun didn’t know about this. Seeing Lin Ran’s hesitation, he immediately said, “I knew you copied it wrongly. Otherwise, why didn’t you dare to bring me there?!”
“Of course it’s not wrong! I’ve been in that cave for three years. I memorized it like the back of my hand.”
Lin Ran nodded after a moment of hesitation. “If you really want to go, you have to wait for me here for half a day. It’s too messy there, so I have to go back and clean it up.”
Huo Qiyun wanted to refuse, but on second thought, if Lin Ran wanted to take the opportunity to go back and modify the sword technique on the wall, with his understanding of the Ten Miles Sword God, he would definitely find the flaw immediately.
Although Lin Ran was not a good person, he was not a jerk to the point of modifying the sword technique left behind by the Ten Miles Sword God.
Thinking of this, Huo Qiyun finally nodded. “Sure, but this place is not far from Mount Sword. With your speed and the time you took to pack up, an incense stick of time is enough!”
“Deal!”
Lin Ran didn’t expect Huo Qiyun to recover so quickly. His heart couldn’t help but ache for the three days’ worth of money he had just given to the waiter.
After asking Huo Qiyun to set off in two hours, Lin Ran went downstairs. First, he rushed all the way to the outskirts of the town. Then, he rode his sword and flew straight to Mount Sword!
In just a few minutes, the towering mountain of swords appeared in Lin Ran’s sight.
The tall mountain peaks were like swords shooting out from the ground, and the divine weapons were shining with cold light.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Lin Ran saw Mount Sword from this angle. He couldn’t help but be impressed by this powerful aura.
He did not notice that after he passed through the mountain-protecting array, the dragon pattern gem on the hilt of the Ten Miles Dragon Roar and the seven gems on the scabbard began to flicker with a demonic red light as if they were responding to something…
