The Story of the Swordsman

Absorb

Yun Lintian was surprised. "Are You the King of the Blazing Sun?"

"Yes, it's me." A voice echoed along with an illusory silhouette that appeared on the throne.

Yun Lintian raised his head to look at it. The silhouette appeared as a handsome young man wearing a fiery red outfit with a black dragon pattern.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The Blazing Sun King slowly descended to the ground. His sharp eyes stared at Yun Lintian for a moment before he asked, "What's your name?"

He replied respectfully, "This Junior's name is Yun Lintian."

"Yun Lintian ... What a good name." The Blazing Sun King muttered to himself.

"You can call my name directly. I'm no longer the Blazing Sun King." The Blazing Sun King, Yan Qi, said. Without waiting for Yun Lintian to reply, he said further, "I know you have some questions on your mind right now, but we can put them aside first. I want you to come with me." After which, he walked towards the end of the hall.

Yun Lintian followed him. The two arrived at the end of the hall. The illusory hand of Yan Qi touched the wall gently, and the fire pattern immediately lit up. Following which, a door miraculously appeared on the wall, and Yan Qi gestured for Yun Lintian to follow him.

As he passed through the door, Yun Lintian felt a raging heat wave hit his body. To the point that he could feel a great burning sensation on his skin. He hurriedly took out a protective barrier around his body to block the heat wave.

"This is the Sun." Yan Qi spoke.

He directed his gaze toward the center of the room and saw a large ball the size of a human hovering in the air. It resembled the shape of the sun he saw when he was on Earth. Compared to the ball outside, this one is more realistic and more impressive.

While Yun Lintian was fascinated by the Sun, Yan Qi said further, "Since you've read my diary, you definitely know that I was asked by 'that person' to keep this up ... I've been guarding this for a few thousand years, waiting for the destined person to come here and take it."

"Over the past thousand years, I have seen many young practitioners coming to this place, but none of them can get any closer to the Sun ... As the years passed, my age gradually reached an end. After I died, I left a trace of my soul here if the destined person came to this place." Yan Qi paused for a moment and turned to Yun Lintian. He said slowly, "And that person is you."

"Wait a minute, Senior. Why are you so sure that the person who was destined was me?" Yun Lintian was confused.

A smile appeared on Yan Qi's illusory face as he replied, "You'll burn to ashes now if you're not the one who's destined."

Damnit damnit!... Yun Lintian said inwardly. That means he almost died now.

"Come here. You could try touching it." Yan Qi gestured.

Yun Lintian shook his head in panic. "No!"

Yan Qi frowned in dissatisfaction. He waved his hand a little. In the next moment, Yun Lintian felt a powerful force gather around him and he was thrown into the air and flew into the Sun directly.

"Aah!" Yun Lintian did not even have time to say as his body was fully merged into the Sun. He felt burning burns all over his body and his consciousness gradually faded away.

"As expected, he's the one." Yan Qi looked at Yun Lintian, who was hovering in the middle of the Sun.

If Yun Lintian heard this, he would be surprised because Yan Qi was actually hesitant at first even though Yun Lintian was not burning after approaching the Sun. But now, he had made sure that Yun Lintian was the person he had been waiting for all this time.

Yan Qi glanced at the mouse that had been ignored all this time and said with a smile, "It has been a long time, my friend."

The mouse stood on two legs and nodded his head slightly.

"Where is this place? Am I dead?" Yun Lintian found himself in a dark world.

He recalled the scene earlier and became furious. "Damn! I swear I'll kill you when we meet next time!"

After venting his anger. He laughed to himself as he muttered, "Yun Lintian, why did you become this stupid.You were tricked by that person so easily" He then sighed helplessly. "Goodbye my beautiful and sexy foster mother. Your adopted son may never have the chance to see you again. I hope you can bring everyone to escape safely."

Buzzz—

As Yun Lintian muttered to himself, a bright red light lit up on his right side, causing him to involuntarily glance at him.

He walked towards the red light. The closer he got, the brighter the red light became. At the same time, he could feel traces of heat seeping into his body.

Buzzz—

Instantly, the red light fused into a small fireball and shot into Yun Lintian's forehead at high speed, Yun Lintian did not even have time to react.

"Gurgh!" Yun Lintian cried out in pain as he felt an overwhelming heat spread throughout his entire body.

Outside, Yan Qi was currently talking to a rat. When he saw the change in Yun Lintian, the two quickly turned their heads.

"He absorbed it?" Yan Qi exclaimed in shock as he watched the Sun slowly shrink in size.

"just really. That necklace is unusual." Yan Qi spoke. His eyes were fixed on the silver necklace that greedily sucked out the Sun's energy like a vacuum machine. He looked at the mouse. "Have you brought her here because of that necklace?"

The rat nodded to confirm Yan Qi's statement. When the rat first saw Yun Lintian, his sharp eyes immediately noticed the silver necklace around his neck. Although it was hidden behind his clothes, it could not escape the sharp gaze of the rat.

The rat intuition says this necklace is no ordinary thing. It could be something that even surpasses the Sun. Therefore, the rat decided to bring him here if he was the person Yan Qi was waiting for. Coincidentally, Yun Lintian turned out to be the person that Yan Qi had been waiting for.

"You did a good job. I can rest in peace now." Yan Qi gave a thumbs up to the rat, but the mouse looked at him with a sad expression.

Seeing this, Yan Qi laughed a little. "Why don't you go with him after this? After all, this mythical realm would no longer exist when he actually took the Sun."

The mouse shook his head.

Yan Qi was silent for a moment. He sighed. "Little Fire, you still have a few more years. Why do you insist on accompanying the dead like me? I've done you wrong before by bringing you here and I've always felt guilty about it until now ... Listen to me, you have to leave this place with him. Look at his miserable power. Don't you feel like he needs someone to protect him? Also, he didn't treat you badly, did he?"

"Git!" The rat, Little Flame, still shook his head with a loud squeak.

Yan Qi stared at Little Flame for a long time before he let out a long sigh and stopped trying to persuade him. He turned to Yun Lintian, who had absorbed half of the Sun, and remained silent.

Suddenly, Yan Qi's brows slightly raised. He said with a smile, "We have guests."

Little Flame tilted his head slightly and looked back at the entrance.
