The Story of the Swordsman

Last Mist

"I'm so hungry." Yun Jiajia grumbled while rubbing her stomach.

"We should find Lintian as soon as possible. I'm afraid he'll face danger." Said a woman with short hair in the uniform of the Misty Cloud Sect. His name is Yun Ting.

The six women from the Misty Cloud Sect had wandered around this place for a day, and they were unable to find any clues about this place. They did not even find any creatures or plants. The food they had was certainly not enough for them to endure.

"Why don't we call her again?" Another woman said. He was the youngest among them. His name is Yun Li.

Yun Chan, who was the leader of the group, took out a transmission jade, contacting Yun Lintian. However, after waiting for an entire minute, he got no response from her. His heart immediately became worried. He turned his head and said, "Let's hurry."

Everyone looked at each other and quickly understood something. Yun Lintian was probably facing danger right now. Before coming here, they were instructed by Yun Qianxue to keep her safe no matter what. Now, if they were unable to complete their task, it was hard to tell what they would face after returning to the Sect.

The group hurriedly moved. Suddenly, Yun Chan, who was on the front line, raised his hand upwards, gesturing for everyone to stop their movements and he found a group of eight men in the distance.

"Everyone saw. We got the jackpot!" Said a handsome young man with a silver spear in his hand.

"Haha! Our luck is too good." When everyone saw Yun Chan and the others, their eyes sparkled with a sly grin on their faces.

Yun Chan quickly determined their strength and identity. Five of them were members of the Luo clan and the other three were from the Chen clan. Their strength was between the seventh level to the tenth level of the Essence Realm.

"Prepare for battle." Yun Chan whispered as he gripped his short sword firmly.

The five sisters behind him also took out their weapons. All of them were carefully selected by Yun Ruanyu, naturally, they were the best among the best in their generation. Facing a higher number of enemies, they did not even budge in the slightest. Instead, they get excited.

The handsome youth with the silver spear was a little wary. Even though he seemed arrogant, he did have the intelligence and strength to back him up. When he saw Yun Chan's group, he quickly told his comrades not to underestimate them and prepare for battle.

"Why not ... Shit!" The handsome young man had not even finished his sentence. The figure of Yun Chan suddenly appeared in front of him with a powerful force attacking his head, causing him to immediately block with his spear.

Bang out!

Yun Chan's short sword collided with the handsome young man's spear, throwing it back into his group. Without giving them a breath, Yun Chan lowered his head slightly and a few arrows passed over him, darting into the group of enemies.

"Kill them!" The handsome young man blocked the arrow that came with great difficulty while shouting at his comrades.

The other seven men blocked the arrow to the side and counterattacked, aiming at Yun Chan. Because the tunnel was too narrow, using a spear was extremely difficult. Not to mention there are so many people around. They could accidentally attack each other if they were not careful enough.

The spear shone with a red light and charged towards Yun Chan. He did not try to dodge but chose to go head-to-head as he fearlessly swung his shining short sword with ice energy towards the spear.

Bang out!

The spear user lost his balance due to the strong impact and his body was thrown to the side, colliding with the other man beside him causing the two of them to crash into the wall.

At this moment, Yun Li and Yun Ting had arrived by Yun Chan's side and both of them quickly thrust their swords towards the two men.

Jem!

The swords of Yun Li and Yun Ting pierced through the hearts of the two men, ending their lives before they unsheathed the sword and retreated backwards. Everything happened too quickly and the other six men did not even have time to react - two of his comrades had turned into corpses, lying on the ground.

Except for the young man with the silver spear, the other five men were terrified. This was the first time they had witnessed the famous Misty Cloud Steps.

Suddenly, that silver spear youth released his energy to the maximum. He immediately charged towards Yun Chan at high speed. In half a second, he had already arrived in front of Yun Chan. Then the silver spear in his hand pierced towards Yun Chan.

Yun Chan was clearly prepared for this. He took out a protective barrier and also swung his sword to fend off the incoming attacks. However, the silver spear somehow broke through the barrier easily and hit Yun Chan's left shoulder.

Blood shot out from Yun Chan's shoulder, causing his bones to break. As he watched the spear break through his barrier, he spontaneously tilted his body to the side in time. Otherwise, the spear would definitely pierce through his heart.

"I'm fine!" Yun Chan said as he held his left shoulder.

Instantly, the other three women behind him charged towards the enemy in an instant, and the battle became intense instantly.

At the next moment, Suddenly Yun Jiajia was stabbed in her stomach and fell to the ground.

"Haha! We got one!" A man pulled his spear and laughed after successfully injuring Yun Jiajia.

"Why don't you just give up, Fairy Yun?" The silver spear youth said with a triumphant smile.

The reason why he was able to break through the barrier of Yun Chan was because of the silver spear in his hand. It was a Spirit-ranked weapon, the Silver Lightning Spear. This spear has a unique ability that can pass through the energy barrier under the Spirit Realm — It could be said that there is no protective barrier at the level of the Essence Realm that is able to withstand it.

He glanced at his sister who was fighting for their lives and his eyes turned resolute. With a serious face, he stomped on the ground and let out a slow scream. A deep blue light shone between his eyebrows.

"No! Brother Chan!" Seeing this scene, Yun Li shouted loudly while desperately blocking his opponent's attack.

"Jaga Lintian." Yun Chan said softly. His eyes slowly turned a blue color along with the mist that was escaping from his body.

He had activated the forbidden art of the Misty Cloud Sect, [Last Mist]. After activating this forbidden art, the user's power would surge to the next realm in no time. In the case of Yun Chan, it allowed him to possess strength at the tenth level of the Spirit Realm. However, his Blood Vessels would be completely destroyed once they were done.

A bad feeling surfaced in the heart of the silver spear youth when he saw the ever-increasing aura of Yun Chan. He felt something bad was about to happen. His expression turned grim and he activated his movement technique once again and charged towards Yun Chan.

The blood on Yun Chan's left arm froze. His blue eyes were fixed on the silver spear youth, who was approaching. He twisted his wrist slightly, and the short sword in his hand trembled with a terrifying aura. His figure disappeared and reappeared before the silver spear youth like a ghost.

"No..." Before the silver spear youth could say anything, his head immediately flew into the air while his silver spear pierced through Yun Chan's stomach.

A powerful aura shot out from Yun Li's body and he sent his opponent flying. He hurriedly rushed to Yun Chan's side and called out to him. "Sister Chan!"

Yun Chan coughed out blood loudly, and the blue light in his eyes had yet to dissipate. He ignored Yun Li and looked at the remaining enemies. In an instant, his figure appeared in front of the man nearby and finished him off with a single slash. This scene continued until there were no enemies left except for eight corpses scattered on the ground.

Thump!

Yun Chan's body fell to the ground after finishing off all of his opponents. The blue light in his eyes gradually faded away.

"Sister Chan!" Yun Li and the others arrived at Yun Chan's side.

Yun Li quickly gave Yun Chan a healing pill and channeled his energy to help Yun Chan digest it.

"Hold on! Brother Chan!" Yun Jiajia said while choking on tears. At this moment, he had completely forgotten the fatal wound on his stomach.

Yun Chan's lips moved slightly, trying to convey something.

"You'll be fine, Brother Chan. Save that and tell Lintian yourself." Yun Li cut him off. He did not want to hear a word from Yun Chan for fear that it might be the last word.

"Yes, Brother Chan. He must have a way to help you." Yun Ting replied.

Sir! Sir! Sir!

"What an emotional scene!" Suddenly, the sound of applause sounded from the end of the tunnel along with the silhouette of the man slowly approaching Yun Chan's group.

Yun Ting turned his head to see who it was and his body immediately stiffened. He said, "Luo Kun!"
