89: Chapter 89: Lifebound Spirit Sword!

Looking at Lin Yi’s departing figure,

Fang Yue’s entire body finally collapsed onto the ground.

Shortly thereafter, his expression turned extremely dark!

Humiliated!

This time it was indeed a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice!

Not only did he fail to snatch the broken sword from Lin Yi, but he was also robbed clean by Lin Yi, suffering heavy losses!

Moreover, the words Lin Yi said just before he left made him very apprehensive.

Listening to that tone, it seemed that the other party was not afraid of returning to his clan to call for retribution at all!

If he got caught by that kid again next time, then it probably wouldn’t be something that could be resolved with one million gold coins.

What to do, to call for help or not?

“How does it feel, Fang Yue, to kick an iron plate?

Not very pleasant, right?”

Just at that moment,

A mocking voice came through.

Fang Yue suddenly looked up and saw a group of people appearing before him—it was Cang Yun!

“Cang Yun!”

Fang Yue’s expression suddenly turned extremely grim, “You bastard, did you plan all this?”

“Eh, don’t wrong me here!”

Cang Yun flatly denied it, “I never told you to go looking for trouble with Lin Xiu!

You brought this on yourself, so don’t lay the blame on me.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yue was instantly left speechless.

Indeed, it was his own greed for Lin Yi’s broken sword that led him to make a move against Lin Yi, bringing this major trouble upon himself.

It had nothing to do with Cang Yun!

“While that kid has not gone far yet, you should hurry back home to call for help while it’s still possible!”

Cang Yun offered his advice to Fang Yue, “Any later and in the vast sea of people, you won’t be able to catch up at all!”

Fang Yue nodded at first, but the next second he sensed something fishy and immediately became wary of Cang Yun, “Would you, you bastard, be so kindhearted?”

No, that’s not right!

This kid was instigating him to call for help, surely to set him up!

“Do you think I’m that stupid?

That kid defeated Uncle Ao of Second Realm of Grandmaster with one move.

For a young person to have such cultivation, there are not many like him in the entire Yun Country, he’s definitely not an ordinary individual!”

“I fear that even if I did call for help, I would just be sending them to their doom!”

With his mind clear, Fang Yue suddenly smartened up.

“Now you’re being clever,”

Seeing the provocation fail, Cang Yun lost interest and said coldly, “I’ll tell you the truth, after I fell into this person’s hands, I went back and called my big brother Cang Lei and ‘Mysterious Swordman’ Baili Feng for revenge!”

“What do you think happened?”

Fang Yue was taken aback upon hearing this.

Cang Lei and Baili Feng were both famous young masters.

Especially Baili Feng—who was ranked among the top ten youths in Yun Country.

Such masters had set out and still couldn’t avenge Cang Yun?

“Could it be a narrow defeat?”

Fang Yue guessed.

“It was a crushing defeat!”

Cang Yun sighed heavily, “Once that kid got serious, Baili Feng was brought to his knees immediately!”

“According to Baili Feng’s estimate, this person’s strength could possibly rank him in the top three among Yun Country’s younger generation!”

Top three of the younger generation!

At that, Fang Yue’s complexion turned completely pale.

Those ranked in the top three of Yun Country’s younger generation, what kind of monsters were they?

They of the Fang Family simply couldn’t afford to provoke him!

Even if he went back to gather reinforcements, he feared the outcome would be no different than what the Cang Family faced!

Glancing at the direction Lin Yi had left in, Fang Yue was still shuddering with fear.

Fortunately, he hadn’t acted rashly; otherwise, he might have brought a formidable enemy upon the Fang Family!

“Alas, consider it paying for a lesson.”

Fang Yue thoroughly gave up hope.

However, the cost of this lesson was perhaps a bit too high.

That was a full 3.5 million gold coins…

Thinking about this, Fang Yue felt as if his heart was bleeding profusely.

…

At that moment, Lin Yi was busy tallying his spoils of war, with a brilliant smile covering his face.

“Robbery really is the quickest way to make money!”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but exclaim.

Not only had he instantly recouped the money he spent at the auction, but he had also made a small profit.

Plus, he had netted a Star Stone.

Under normal circumstances, how many days of brick-moving would it take to earn this much money?

However, this method had an obvious downside—it couldn’t be used often since fat sheep didn’t always show up at his doorstep waiting to be slaughtered.

Lin Yi then turned over his palm and took out the broken sword that he had acquired from the auction.

The broken sword was damaged beyond repair and seemed to have completely lost its spirit.

However, on it, one could still faintly see some ancient runes; other than that, there seemed to be nothing special about it.

This broken sword had triggered a resonance with his sword embryo; it was certainly no ordinary item.

Its grade might even surpass the Ghost Level!

It could possibly be of King-level!

However, Lin Yi wasn’t worried about the sword being of insufficient grade; he was concerned whether it still retained any spirit.

If it was completely spent, then he would have made a huge loss.

As Lin Yi was examining the broken sword in his hands, suddenly, the weapon seemed to come to life, slipping out of his grasp and shooting towards his body as a beam of light!

Lin Yi was shocked; before he could react, the broken sword had already entered directly into his abdomen and disappeared!

Had his body absorbed the sword?

To be precise, his sword embryo had absorbed it!

In an instant, Lin Yi felt a powerful surge of fierce energy exploding from within his body.

It was an extremely potent sword qi that emanated from the sword embryo, rapidly filling every sword meridian in his body!

Boom!

In an instant, a formidable presence swept out in all directions from Lin Yi’s body!

And at that moment, his cultivation reached the Ninth Level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

Had he broken through just like that?

Was it the work of the broken sword?

Lin Yi, while still in shock, began to introspect and saw that the broken sword had not vanished within his sword embryo; instead, it had remained there!

However, unlike its appearance in the outside world, the once rust-covered, completely damaged sword now had its runes all lit up, as if it had been reforged!

That aura could not possibly belong to a Ghost Level treasure sword—it had to be at least of King-grade!

King-level Treasure Sword!

“I’ve hit the jackpot.”

A look of delighted surprise swept over Lin Yi’s face.

Who would have thought that the broken sword was of King-level quality?

If Wangyue Building had known the true grade of the sword, they surely would not have let it go for a mere 2.5 million.

Such an item wouldn’t even appear in an auction in Cang City.

“But this broken sword, it actually stayed inside my body?

This Chaos Sword Body really is special.”

Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

With the broken sword remaining in his sword embryo, it seemed like his very own Lifebound Spirit Sword, constantly releasing its power and accelerating the functioning of his Sword Body.

Little Jin spoke up, “It seems your Sword Body can absorb the power of treasure swords and turn it to your own use—the more powerful the sword, the greater the benefit to you.”

Lin Yi nodded.

Although it was just a broken sword, it now gave him a sensation of transformation, as if he had become a sword himself—a sword that nothing could withstand!
