The Story of the Swordsman

Hua Litong

Almost there! Yun Lintian thought to himself as he stared at the Heavenly Lotus Buddha not far from him.

He did not let his guard down and observed the Crocodile from time to time. Right now, the Crocodile was hunting Song He's group and did not realize that the lotus he had been guarding for several years would be snatched away by Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian arrived in front of the lotus. He stretched out his hand to grab it. However, the moment his hand touched it, the lotus suddenly shone and the ancient runes on Yun Lintian's body instantly lost their abilities.

The roarrrrr!

The crocodile soon realized there was a thief trying to seize his property. He roared furiously and hurriedly ran towards the lotus.

"Damn!" Without thinking any further, he stored the lotus and frantically fled to the edge of the swamp with all his might.

"Room!" The crocodile shot out thousands of water arrows towards Yun Lintian. It was the only ranged attack he had that was fast enough to attack Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian had already guessed this before. He took out a protective barrier to cover his back while shattering the wind talisman to increase his speed. It was the same trick as before, but it was effective enough to make him increase the distance between him and the crocodile.

Booms!

The protective barrier of Yun Lintian was broken very quickly by an overwhelming force. When one of the water arrows hit his back, he felt as if he had been hit by a truck, causing him to spurt blood out of his mouth.

Damnit damnit! This is stronger than two days ago ... Yun Lintian thought as he endured the pain in his back.

Everyone on the edge of the swamp stopped their action when they heard the roar earlier. Yun Chan saw the lotus had disappeared. He instantly guessed that Yun Lintian had managed to obtain it.

Under the joint attack from Yun Chan, Hua Fei, and Yang Ping, the three youths from the Chen clan were completely dead.

Hua Fei and the other two from the Hua clan walked to Yun Chan's side after disposing of the corpses. Hua Fei asked puzzledly, "What happened?"

Yun Chan shook his head, pretending not to know it.

"Where's the lotus?" Yang Ping asked when he saw the lotus was gone.

"Someone took it when we fought. Huh, did we just make an opportunity for someone else?" Hua Fei said with a hint of anger. He doesn't like the feeling of being used by others.

Yun Chan did not want to linger on this topic any further. He said, "What's your plan?"

Hua Fei looked at his friends before shaking his head. "We have no plans for now. We made an appointment with our Young Miss in the southern area. What about you, Sister Yun?"

Yun Chan pondered for a moment. He replied, "Let's go together. I'm heading south too."

After that, everyone left to the south.

...

While Yun Chan was discussing with others, Yun Lintian had reached the edge of the swamp on the opposite side. The crocodile still roars furiously from behind and prepares to climb to the edge.

Yun Lintian moved the energy to his feet and shot forward at high speed towards the south.

The speed of the crocodile was slower on the ground. Every tree he passed by was destroyed by his huge body.

Yun Lintian was now drenched in sweat. His deep energy was constantly depleted. It won't be long before he runs out of energy and may become a crocodile food. He stuffed the Energy Filling Pill into his mouth, but he could not digest it fast enough and his energy was still decreasing.

Yun Lintian tried to zig-zag through the forest, trying to get rid of the crocodile.

As Yun Lintian was thinking, a group of three men appeared in his vision. Looking at their clothes, the corner of Yun Lintian's mouth lifted into an evil smile. He took out a bow from his spatial ring, aimed at the group, and shot an arrow at them.

The three men sensed the danger coming. They turned towards Yun Lintian and saw an arrow shot towards them.

Bang out!

"It's me!" Yun Lintian shouted back while attacking them.

"That's it!" The other youth beside the spear youth recognized Yun Lintian. Everyone in the Luo clan had received orders to capture Yun Lintian before coming here.

"Catch her!" The spear youth commanded. The three moved forward, launching their attacks at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian cleverly dodged the attack while taking out the Heavenly Buddha Lotus and applying his scent to his third body. He then suddenly changed direction, continuing to flee. Although he could not fight them head-on, dodging their attacks was not a problem.

"Cursue!" The spear youth was furious with the result. The overwhelming anger made him completely ignore Yun Lintian's strange scent and actions.

When they were about to chase after Yun Lintian, angry roars sounded in their ears, causing them to turn around to look at him.

Booms! Booms! Booms!

Several heavy footsteps could be heard along with the large body of the Crocodile appearing in his third vision.

"A... What the fuck?" One of them stammered in fear.

"L... Run!" The spear youth turned around and fled.

"AH! Help me!" The young man who had the slowest reaction was unable to escape in time when the Crocodile jumped on it with its mouth wide open and bit its body ferociously.

The spear youth and the other young man beside him turned to look at the young man. The brutal scene made them shiver. At this moment, they were not thinking of helping his friend anymore. Both of them released their energies and continued to flee.

The crocodile swallowed the young man into his stomach. He looked around and sniffed the lotus scent in the air for a while before finally moving towards Yun Lintian. Yun Lintian's plan failed to deceive the crocodile as he could not completely wipe out his aura.

...

Yun Lintian leaned against the tree weakly. He knew this was not the time to think about other things. He sat on the ground and tried to replenish his energy.

"Eh? That's you!" Suddenly, a beautiful woman appeared behind a tree and exclaimed in shock upon seeing Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian's eyes snapped open, staring at the woman warily. "Who are you?" Ask.

The beautiful woman chuckled as she watched her body stiffen. He introduced, "My name is Hua Litong. Hua Wanru is my younger sister. I heard about you before. You're the one who gave him the antidote."

Yun Lintian did not relax his vigilance in the slightest. He nodded in response and closed his eyes, continuing to replenish his energy.

Hua Litong was shocked for a moment. He began to doubt himself. Is she not pretty enough? Why didn't Yun Lintian react and ignore him like this?

Hua Litong had a beautiful face shape. Her eyes were clear, with slightly curved eyebrows, a cute nose, and cherry lips. She was undoubtedly very beautiful among her friends. Not to mention his well-developed body, especially in his chest area. She was even prettier than Hua Wanru according to Yun Lintian.

It was not that Yun Lintian did not want to talk to him, he simply did not care about him at this moment.

Even though he was a little dissatisfied, but he understood it. He could see Yun Lintian had exhausted his energy and tried to replenish it.

Looking for a place to rest for a while, he walked to the flat stone twenty meters away from Yun Lintian and sat quietly, waiting for him.

Five minutes later, Yun Lintian opened his eyes, drank another Energy Filling Pill, and glanced at Hua Litong. He asked, "Why did you suppress your power when you were able to break through to the Spirit Realm long ago? It'll cause damage to your Blood Vessels, don't you know?" Yun Lintian could feel the abundant energy within his body. It was clear he had suppressed his strength for a very long time.

Hua Litong smiled brightly: "As expected of a genius doctor. You can find out right away."

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes. Even fools can see it. It had absolutely nothing to do with his medical skills.

Hua Litong's expression suddenly turned serious. He said further, "I'm worried about Wanru. That's why I have to do this. My goal in coming here was to kill Luo Kun. I heard you were at odds with him, too. Why don't we work together?"
