Violet Dao trembled.
Just by looking at the blade of the Young Sword God, Lin Yi felt his will surge..
The two people who discovered the will of the sword were like two scorching suns for each other..
But in order not to show himself, Lin Yi restrained his aura and disappeared into the crowd.
“Mm?" The young Sword God stopped mid-step and focused his gaze, which had previously been in the clouds.
“Has something happened, sir? asked one of the swordsmen in black, all ten people immediately grabbed the hilts of their swords and began to look around in search of the enemy.
“No, nothing...” Yan Yun muttered, looking to the side thoughtfully. "Interesting. I didn't think that I would find a rival here.”
He involuntarily grabbed the hilt of the sword and a smile appeared on his indifferent face:
“Looks like I didn't come in vain.”
The black-robed swordsmen looked at each other in puzzlement, but Yan Yun waved his head and walked ahead of them..The clash of wills could only be felt by those who discovered the will of the weapon themselves. For him and Lin Yi, it was like a powerful collision, but no one else felt anything.
Yan Yun did not chase after the man who disappeared in the crowd - he knew how to wait, and he agreed to go here only in order to find a worthy opponent. He was not interested in marrying Empress Wu's disciple..
Moreover, it is unlikely that the Empress would have accepted him even if he wanted to. She was clearly interested in a political marriage, and the Yan family had long since lost all glory. For thousands of years not a single worthy warrior has appeared among them..
Until he was born.
That's why the elders persuaded him to go here. If you are lucky and the Empress still agrees to a political marriage, the Yan family will immediately return to its former greatness.
Which is quite important lately, because a new war was approaching. Maybe everything seemed calm from the outside, but even Yan Yun, who never paid attention to the outside world, felt the tension in the air.
Because three emperors appeared at once at the disposal of the vicious cults. Demon Emperor, Evil Emperor, and Yin Emperor.
Three against five, the forces may not have been equal, but even so, the demons have enormous power in their hands. Besides, the righteous emperors are old, and they still have hundreds of years to live..
Kyushu was on the verge of a new catastrophe. Too many ambitions and too few resource-rich territories.
Neutrality did not suit anyone. Neither righteous nor wicked. Each of the eight factions wanted to take everything for themselves.
Yan Yun understood everything perfectly. Only those who were eager to get everything advanced in martial arts. How could they be satisfied with scraps of territory when there is at least something else that can be taken away??
No matter how much they strive to become gods, they remain beasts.
Therefore, everyone gathered here came for the sake of the power and territories of Empress Wu, and the fact that she has some kind of student, well, okay, will not be superfluous.
Therefore, Yan Yun expected that he would have to face the heirs of the emperors, but he did not think that he would meet someone who also managed to open the will of the sword. What surprised him even more was that the unknown opponent was clearly not a descendant of the emperors, otherwise he would not have been afraid to show himself.
The smile never left Yun's lips. He followed dirt and found treasure.
Lin Yi did not share his thoughts - he immediately knew why he was flying here - but he shared his delight.
He, too, had long wanted to test the blade on a worthy opponent. Only in real combat can you understand how to achieve more than you have.
However, this is not the main thing. The most important thing is to bring back Huang Yiting.
He couldn't give it to anyone. Certainly not those who came simply for the sake of Empress Wu's wealth. Lin Yi didn’t care about the Tang Empire; he didn’t need their power or money. He's only here for her.
Whether she wants it or not.
After all, this is their world. You either fight for what you want or you give up and lose..
Only those who have surpassed everyone can rest here. The rest did not rest, but waited for death. Because everyone wanted to get what others had. Money. Martial arts. Knowledge. Even those who have nothing can be captured and used.
Especially when eternal life awaits ahead. Time itself was killing.
Only by constantly moving forward was it possible not to stand still.
But you can’t go far with strength alone; knowledge is also required. Therefore, for the entire month before the start of the battle, Lin Yi wandered around the city, eavesdropping on any useful conversations and collecting all available information about his opponents..
Song Sanbao, direct descendant of Emperor Song; Xi Yun, direct descendant of Sword Emperor Xi; Ni Shaotian, the young master of the Ni clan; Bu Chen, the young master of the Bu clan; Chu Yang, descendant of the ancient void wanderer; and Yan Yun, Young Sword God.
Six people from all over the world, the strongest opponents known. Each came either from the family of the emperor or from a family founded by a voidwalker.
Each possessed some of the most advanced, flawless techniques in the entire world..
The more Lin Yi learned about them, the more excited he became..
While other experts turned pale as they recognized their opponents, he beamed with happiness.
There were so many platinum arts in Kyushu, and over these thousands of years they had become completely different from the Golden Gate techniques. He wanted to know them all and understand who was moving along the right path. Those who had plenty of energy, or those who had to hold on to every crumb, achieving a fraction of a percent gain.
He was eager to know whose sword art was stronger! Who moves faster! Who attacks more mercilessly!
Defeat worthy opponents and win the one you loved for so long!
The month flew by in the blink of an eye.
