Chapter 399: Chapter 399: The Mysterious Challenger of the Sword Sovereign is Him

”You... how can you be so strong?”

With his eyes unfocused, Wang Teng forced an eerie smile and spoke to Ye Yun with great effort.

Soon after he finished, the crack on his forehead rapidly enlarged. His head was split into two halves. The crack extended, dividing Wang Teng’s whole body into two parts. His bisected form, its halves bleeding profusely, sprayed droplets of blood across the vast emptiness.

Despite his death, the two Black Hammers gripped in his severed hands remained clenched, falling heavily from the air.

BOOM! BOOM!

The two halves of his body slammed into the ground, creating two deep pits—a terrifying sight to behold.

With an unadorned slash, Ye Yun executed Wang Teng, the Sect Master of Overlord Sect.

The old man from the Overlord Sect, witnessing this scene, was horrified.

This white-clothed youth’s Swordsmanship was too formidable. Almost unparalleled.

In his memory, it seemed only the Sword Sovereign could muster such a potent Killing Sword Technique.

”Please spare my life, Senior,” the old man pleaded, kneeling in mid-air, his spirit shattered.

He knew that in the face of this white-clothed youth’s peerless sword technique, his life was as brittle as paper, unable to withstand a single blow.

”Just now, you wanted to kill me. Do you think I’m that bored?” Ye Yun asked with a faint smile.

The silver sword light flickered and vanished into thin air. This sliver of sword light, infused with unimaginable divine power, effortlessly penetrated the cascading golden light of the Yellow Treasure Tower.

THWACK!

The old man screamed, also cleaved into two halves by Ye Yun’s blade, utterly annihilated in body and soul.

One sword, one kill. Easy and clean.

HISS...

The myriad Cultivators who watched the scene were chilled to the bone, gasping for breath.

”Terrifying! There are few people in this world who can withstand the unmatched power of this Killing Sword Technique!” a Divine Monarch of the Third Layer, deeply shaken, muttered to himself.

At this moment, a cold sweat had broken out on his back. Even from a great distance, he could still feel the oppressive aura of death.

”In our Daluo Region, perhaps only the Sword Sovereign could compete with this white-clothed youth,” another Divine Monarch Realm powerhouse whispered, unable to conceal his inner turmoil.

”At the Grand Sacrifice, the mysterious powerhouse who challenged the Sword Sovereign—could it be this person?” a Divine Monarch Realm man suddenly announced aloud, his eyes brightening.

His voice instantly resonated with everyone present. The white-clothed youth’s unrivaled Swordsmanship slaughtered the Kui Bull Overlord Body as if he were butchering a dog. The old man from the Hegemon Sect, even with the protection of an Emperor artifact, was still penetrated by that sword light. This showed the horrifying power of this Swordsmanship.

”No doubt! The mysterious powerhouse who challenged the Sword Sovereign must be this man!”

”You’re absolutely right!”

The surrounding Cultivators, each with an excited expression, gazed at the distant white silhouette with fervor in their eyes. Just how powerful would his Swordsmanship have to be to challenge the Sword Sovereign?

A True God Realm Cultivator laughed aloud. ”HAHA! How pitiful Wang Teng of the Overlord Sect is, daring to compete for the young dragon that someone else obtained from the Jinyu Auction House. How ridiculous!”

”That Wang Teng was accustomed to his arrogance and tyranny, committing all manner of evils. Now, he has finally met his retribution,” another Cultivator chimed in with a laugh.

Many other Cultivators also joined in the laughter. It seemed that many had suffered from the oppression of the Hegemon Sect but had not dared to speak out. Now that this mysterious young man in white had slain Wang Teng, it truly brought them great satisfaction!

Killing two insignificant ants didn’t particularly excite Ye Yun.

He gestured with his hand, and Wang Teng’s two Black Hammers, as well as a storage ring, fell into his grasp. These two hammers were of no low quality, having reached the Emperor Level Superior grade. He could keep them for now. In the future, if any of his Sect’s Disciples or demon beasts favored hammers, he could gift these to them.

This guy is quite wealthy... Ye Yun thought, a hint of faint surprise in his eyes as he glanced at the storage ring.

The Spirit Stones in the ring numbered fifteen billion. There were also some magical tools, medicinal pills, and Jade Slips of Cultivation Methods in substantial quantities.

Ye Yun gestured again, collecting the Yellow Treasure Tower and the old man’s storage ring as well. The Spirit Stones in that ring amounted to about four or five billion. Killing Wang Teng and the old man had yielded Ye Yun a considerable fortune.

WHOOSH!

The Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon, who had been silently watching from the side, finally let out a breath, awakening from its shocked state. It had just witnessed its master’s incredible prowess, easily killing two powerful Divine Monarch Realm Cultivators with two sword strokes, leaving it profoundly stunned.

The master possesses the bloodline of the Ancestor Dragon, yet he hasn’t used it. I suppose this must be his true trump card... the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon quietly thought to itself.

”Disperse,” Ye Yun said with a faint smile, looking at the Cultivators around him.

Immediately, the surrounding Cultivators cupped their fists in salute and then scattered in all directions like startled birds and beasts. No one dared to linger even a minute longer in the presence of the formidable Mysterious Sword Cultivator. They were afraid that if they annoyed Ye Yun, they too would be cut down on the spot.

Silence quickly returned to the surroundings.

On a towering building in Yunxiao City, two figures stood. One of them was the beautiful hostess from the Jinyu Auction House. Next to her stood a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was a cultivator at the Seventh Realm of God King and was the most powerful Gentry Elder of the Jinyu Auction House.

”Senior, I misjudged him. I didn’t expect this young man in white to possess such extraordinarily accomplished Swordsmanship. He’s truly too powerful!” the sexy beauty exclaimed, her enchanting face expressing an unspeakable despondency.

”You don’t need to blame yourself. I, too, didn’t recognize his strength before he made his move,” the middle-aged man said with a slight smile, looking into the distance and murmuring to himself, ”He must be the mysterious powerhouse who challenged the Sword Sovereign.”

The sexy beauty took a deep breath, her expression returning to normal. She smiled gracefully. ”Senior, this time’s Grand Sacrifice Ceremony will be held at the Jianyun Sect in three days. Our auction house plans to present a gift. Shall we go and join the festivities?”

”Let’s go. The Sword Sovereign’s talent is unparalleled in the world. He will sooner or later step into the Divine Sovereign Realm. It’s necessary for us to curry favor with such a remarkable individual,” the middle-aged man said with a laugh.

Thinking of the peerless Sword Sovereign, a hint of fervor appeared in the middle-aged man’s eyes.

「Outside Yunxiao City.」

Ye Yun and the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon had flown for about a hundred miles when Ye Yun suddenly sensed something. The Dragon-rearing Puppet was continuously jumping through the endless Daluo Region, as if it were tearing through the void.

”This is odd. Can a puppet tear through the void?” Ye Yun mused, raising an eyebrow. He then immediately tore open the void and departed.

「The next moment.」

Ye Yun appeared inside a large city. In front of him was a Teleportation Array, guarded by four guards at the True God Realm Tenth Layer Peak.

Ye Yun immediately understood. The creature had been continuously jumping through the void by using Teleportation Arrays. And the Teleportation Array before him was the first one the Dragon-rearing Puppet had used for its jumps.

”Who’s there?”

Seeing two figures suddenly emerge from a tear in the void, the four guards instantly became alert and assumed defensive positions.
