Chapter 1313 Yun Qingbai Goes on Rampage!

Abysmal Water Realm.

In front of the Abysmal Water Battle Tablet, cultivators gathered anxiously, waiting to challenge the test of the Genius Gold Rankings.

“That’s Sword Demon Ye Chen from the Ye Clan of Crape Myrtle Mountain, a clan of Saints. He now possesses the strength of the longevity tribulation stage and a deep mastery of swordsmanship that has trumped many people. He is frighteningly strong.”

“I heard that he and Demon God Lin are sworn brothers?”

“Correct.”

“Tsk, tsk, I wonder how he will be ranked on the Genius Gold Rankings this time?”

As people discussed spiritedly, they darted glances at the distance.

There, Ye Chen, dressed in a purple robe and standing straight as a sword, was taking the test.

Recently, following the news of the Ultimate Inheritance Land, the rankings on the Genius Gold Rankings constantly changed every single day.

The lower the ranking, the faster it changed.

Even the names in the top thirty were under threat.

Recently, many new faces had appeared.

Ye Chen had previously taken the test and achieved twenty-second place on the ranking.

But now, his ranking had sharply dropped, struggling to maintain the eighty-ninth place!

The drastic changes in rankings recently showed how intense the competition of the Genius Gold Rankings had become.

It changed as frequently as the flag flying over the entrance into a city.

Buzz—

Suddenly, the Abysmal Water Tablet produced a strange wave of energy, and a pillar of golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Chen’s figure in front of the tablet.

“Eighteenth!”

“Unbelievable...”

Commotion broke out in the audience; everyone was astounded by the result.

All of a sudden, he soared from the eighty-ninth place to the eighteenth place. They could imagine that Sword Demon Ye Chen’s strength had reached an abnormal level!

“Still can’t make it into the top ten...” Ye Chen frowned, feeling a little upset and frustrated.

But he also knew that there were many fierce people in the Upper Nine Realms and the higher the ranking, the tougher the competition.

A calm voice sounded, “Are you Ye Chen?”

Then, a slender, white-clad figure walked out of the crowd with a sword box strapped across his back and his hands behind him.

Suddenly, the crowd parted, staggering backwards to make way for the man. They were blasted back by an invisible aura before they could react.

The affected people were about to curse aloud, but when they laid eyes on the man in white, their hearts pounded like crazy and their bodies froze.

“Yun Qingbai?”

Ye Chen turned around and when he saw the man, his eyes narrowed.

Suddenly, the crowd was in commotion, and everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.

After several years, the unrivaled swordsman who was once ranked first on the Genius Gold Rankings of the Upper Nine Realms reappeared in the world!

Yun Qingbai!

He was like a legend, once leading his generation and dominating all heroes of the world. He was an invincible existence!

Now, although his ranking on the Genius Gold Rankings had dropped to ninth place, everyone knew that if he wanted to, he could easily reclaim the number one spot!

The reason was very simple. Yun Qingbai’s mighty power had long penetrated deep into people’s hearts.

“Are you friends with Lin Xun?”

This was Yun Qingbai’s second question after he appeared.

But it was this question that reminded everyone of the sensational news that shook the Upper Nine Realms a few years ago.

It was rumored that there was a blood feud between Yun Qingbai and Lin Xun.

It was rumored that Yun Qingbai was chased down by Lin Xun in the Stupa Brahma Land!

It was rumored that Yun Qingbai had stolen Lin Xun’s innate talent in a despicable and violent way, which allowed him to advance triumphantly on his cultivation path!

Some people believed it, some did not, and some had different opinions. The rumors sparked a lot of discussion.

But at least everyone could conclude that if Yun Qingbai reappeared, the first person he wanted to kill had to be Lin Xun.

This was because many successors of Omega Sword Sect were killed at the hands of Lin Xun!

Now, this seemed to be coming true.

“That’s right,” Ye Chen answered without any wavering.

“A direct descendant of the high and mighty Ye Clan of Crape Myrtle Mountain actually became friends with Lin Xun, a native of the lower world. If the ancestors of your Ye Clan knew about this, then they would definitely fly into a rage.” Yun Qingbai’s voice was calm and indifferent.

A fierce glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. “Yun Qingbai, I respect you as a talented man of the generation so I treat you courteously, but that doesn't mean you can act arrogantly in front of me!”

“Is that right? Then let me see how capable the Sword Demon is then.”

With a faint smile, Yun Qingbai drew his hand across the air.

Chi!

Sword light tore the void like a bolt of lightning.

A beam of sword qi shot out—simple, direct, yet endowed with a domineering power that seemed to directly penetrate people’s hearts.

Despite the distance, everyone felt a stabbing sensation like their skin was being cut and their spirit was put under an indescribably suffocating pressure.

That sword qi had been condensed to an astonishing level!

“Hmph!”

Ye Chen’s face was solemn, menacing and focused. He slashed out also with a sword. Sword qi roamed unrestrained like a heavenly steed soaring across the skies.

Bang!

The two spectacular sword qi collided in the air, sending a shudder through the world that caused the nearby space to split with cobweb-like cracks.

The horrified gazes could all tell that Yun Qingbai’s sword qi was slightly superior, destroying everything it its way.

Ye Chen’s sword qi collapsed inch by inch!

Amidst an explosion of light, Ye Chen let out a muffled grunt and reeled back several steps, body swaying side to side.

In the audience, everyone’s expression changed.

Yun Qingbai’s sword overpowered Sword Demon Ye Chen!

“Your sword intent has touched upon the door of the Divine Connection Stage, but it is still lacking and unable to display the full ability of your Crape Myrtle Ye Clan’s True Sword Sutra.”

Yun Qingbai remarked casually, “And compared to my sword, there is a world of difference.”

“Come again!”

Ye Chen drew a deep breath, his sleeves and robe whipped around him, and a surge of monstrous sword qi spread outwards from him, forcing everyone near him to draw back in terror.

“Sword Demon is going to attack with full-strength!”

Everyone’s heart pounded with excitement.

One was an invincible swordsman who had surpassed all others in swordsmanship, and the other was a descendant of Crape Myrtle Mountain and crowned with the title of Sword Demon.

The battle between the two was undoubtedly a fight for supremacy in the art of sword!

“If you train for another ten years, then you might be able to block one of my sword strikes.”

Yun Qingbai’s eyes were rippleless when he pointed his sword into the air.

Buzz!

Sword qi flooded the world!

That gush of unparalleled sword qi seemed to have originated from beyond the sky, exuding a tremendous force that was enough to crush the world. Everyone was frightened out of their wits.

“Slash!”

At the same time, Ye Chen stepped onto a swift dragon, and behind him, purple sword qi blazed splendidly like the sun.

Boom!

Everyone’s ears were deafened by a deep booming noise like the earth was splitting apart. The unparalleled sword qi light made even the sun and the moon lose their splendor.

Amidst a burst of gasps and exclamations, Ye Chen reeled several feet before he could steady his figure.

Everyone squinted their eyes and noticed a bone-deep sword wound across his left shoulder.

The second sword strike injured Ye Chen!

The area fell into utter silence.

Even some powerful, fierce experts turned ashen-faced. After disappearing for a few years, Yun Qingbai had become much more terrifying.

“That boy Lin Xun slaughtered so many successors of Omega Sword Sect. Say, if I massacred all his friends and family, will he...feel pain?” Yun Qingbai uttered emotionlessly.

His one sentence chilled everyone to the core.

Is Yun Qingbai going to retaliate by going on a killing spree?

“Hmph! If you have the guts, then go find Lin Xun. What’s the point of showing off in front of me?” Ye Chen sneered, completely unafraid.

“I will find him, but not now.” Yun Qingbai looked indifferent. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you this time, but I can’t guarantee the next time.”

He turned around and drifted away.

Ye Chen’s face was overcast, and he couldn’t help clenching his fists.

......

On the same day, the news of Yun Qingbai’s reappearance spread like wildfire, shaking the Upper Nine Realms. All major forces anxiously began to pay attention to further news.

“Yun Qingbai has appeared! Is it to eliminate Lin Xun, or is it for the Ultimate Inheritance Land?”

Countless people wondered.

In the following period, a string of news about Yun Qingbai set off storms and completely broke the peace in the Upper Ninth Realms.

On the day that Yun Qingbai reappeared, he defeated Sword Demon Ye Chen before the Abysmal Water Battle Tablet.

The next day, he traveled thousands of miles to the territory of the Moon Sun Sacred Palace and severely wounded Xiao Qinghe with one sword strike.

On the third day, in the Root Mountain Realm, he defeated Mad Blade Xiao Cangtian

on the Canglan Cliff!

On the fourth day, he went all the way to the Thunder Jolt Realm to defeat Yue Jianming.

On the fifth day...

Every day, news about Yun Qingbai would break out. Equipped with nothing but a sword, he crushed one famous figure after another.

Everyone knew that this was Yun Qingbai’s revenge.

Almost all the people he defeated were connected to Lin Xun!

“Why didn’t he kill?”

Many people were frightened by Yun Qingbai’s series of actions.

“Not killing them has more of an impact on Lin Xun than killing them! Yun Qingbai obviously wants to use those battles to instill fear in Lin Xun and rattle him!” analyzed someone.

“Wrong, Yun Qingbai is a prideful swordsman. Even if he wants revenge, he will not kill the innocent!”

“It is foreseeable that when Demon God Lin learns about this, he won’t just sit still and do nothing. He will be plagued by guilt and unease. After all, his friends were swept into this because of him!”

“From now on, as long as Yun Qingbai is alive, who will dare to come into contact with Demon God Lin? It seems like he wants to completely isolate Demon God Lin.”

Amid countless discussions and uproars, Yun Qingbai arrived at the Mythic Fire Realm.
