And this effortless action...
stirred the powers within the void!
"Hiss"—
A faint sound of space ripping echoed!
Yuan Yuan, with his hands on his twin swords, slightly changed his expression. His fully-ford Sword Domain was instantly torn open, and in the next mont, it seed like surging waves erged from the man before him, like an ocean.
Yuan Yuan’s pupils constricted.
He looked at the young Fortress Guardian who was a few years younger than himself. This was his first encounter with Lin Lin... Lin Lin, the Quasi-General of Gu Castle Fortress, a young man with a mysterious profile and a reputation that shook the North Continent.
In these years, stationed at Gu Castle, Lin Lin, with his rapid promotion, had conquered most of the Transcendents in the Investigation Corps, yet there were always those who refused to accept this.
Yuan Yuan was one of them.
He had always wanted to see Gu Castle to find out if this "young man," rumored to be under thirty, truly qualified to hold the position of Fortress Guardian.
Now... he had seen him!
Just a wave of his hand and it tore apart his "domain"?!
Yuan Yuan subconsciously drew his twin swords; he felt as if the other’s overwhelming spiritual power was crashing down like waves, pressing him to kneel in submission.
And in this mont, his reaction was not to retreat, but to advance.
This was the bloody instinct ingrained in every warrior!
Upon eting on a narrow path, the one who draws the sword wins!
Better to die fighting than to kneel in submission!
"Boom!"
In that mont, Zou Hai’s expression suddenly changed.
The look that was already fierce and nacing turned even more grotesque.
Dare to draw a sword against the Quasi-General?!
His massive figure, just about to move, froze as Lin Lin stretched out his hand in a pressing motion, and Zou Hai’s body was pinned on the spot.
Zou Hai was stunned... This was Lord Lin Lin’s intention, telling him to stand there, no action needed.
The Lord was about to... personally take action!
"Whoosh."
The distance between them wasn’t far, and in the mont when their domains shattered, Yuan Yuan turned into a streak of light, and the sound of his long swords being unsheathed was rough, like the vast river; after tapping his toes on the ground, he directly slashed at Lin Lin.
The twin sword forces were terrifyingly fearso.
Like a great river adorned.
Directly slashing at Lin Lin’s shoulders!
Lin Lin raised his head, and all along his pace had been slow; he walked unhurriedly out of the crowd, moved behind Zou Hai, then ca before Yuan Yuan... and at this mont, he stopped.
The twin swords, carrying fierce Gang Qi, exploded upon his shoulders.
Gu Shen, very close by, held his breath as he watched, Chi Huo narrowed his eyes to a small slit, spinning around...
In an incredibly brief mont.
Lin Lin’s not-so-large figure exploded into a blur of a phantom, standing fixed in place, not moving a step; the wind rose and fell, those two terrifyingly locked sword forces completely missed.
A light knee strike upwards.
"Bang!"
Yuan Yuan was thrown back, crashing against the ceiling, coughing out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
He hadn’t seen Lin Lin’s move clearly, nor understood how the other had dodged his sword strike...
But Gu Shen had seen everything clearly.
"It was ’Complete Flash’... very proficient ’Complete Flash’..."
Gu Shen’s vertical pupil in his brow slowly closed.
He had a new understanding of Lin Lin’s strength.
This mysterious young Quasi-General, exceedingly strong individually, indeed a close combat expert comparable to Song Ci in body techniques.
Truly deserving as the Fortress Guardian of Gu Castle.
That vice-captain of the second team in the Investigation Corps had already mastered his own domain, yet he couldn’t withstand even one move against Lin Lin.
It wasn’t that Yuan Yuan was weak.
But that Lin Lin was too strong.
"Thud," Yuan Yuan fell to the ground, his face pale; several comrades from the Investigation Corps moved to help him, but he refused with a hand gesture, struggling to breathe, he leaned against the wall and stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips.
Yuan Yuan took a few deep breaths.
He held his abdon... the pain here had almost dissipated.
He knew this was because Lin Lin had shown rcy. The knee strike was just a minor lesson, otherwise, he might have shattered the floor and be embedded into the second level.
"Daring to draw your sword at , comndable courage,"
Lin Lin looked at the man who had stood up again. He calmly spoke, offering encouragent, "However, you are far too lacking in strength; if it was a real enemy, you wouldn’t have had the chance to stand up again."
Yuan Yuan clenched his teeth.
"Under the Quasi-General, no matter the outco, at least... we will not abandon our comrades, nor treat a hero returning from an expedition this way!"
He looked towards the room sealed off.
An emaciated man, lying weakly within.
"...Hero."
Lin Lin spoke calmly: "Is he?"
Yuan Yuan paused, veins on his forehead throbbing.
He suddenly stretched out his hand to pound the wall, loudly questioning, "I and Hong Zhong have been comrades for many years, risking our lives in the Investigation Corps. He brought back the news of ’Oasis’; doesn’t such a person deserve to be considered a hero?"
"That image, everyone in the Investigation Corps has seen it!"
"A man ntally weakened to the extre, after donating all his blood, still locked up in the fortress, undergoing a ’Spiritual Assessnt’... what kind of nonsense rule is this..."
Yuan Yuan’s voice was hoarse, as he said, "Can his condition really still withstand an assessnt?"
