Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible Chapter 258 – 258 Difficult to Choose

258 Difficult to Choose

If the killing intent that had been suppressed to the extreme suddenly erupted, the consequences would be extremely terrifying, let alone it was the killing intent that had been accumulated in Sword Grave for thousands of years.

Lin Ran's eyes turned red. Looking at Shen Rulin, who was so close to him, he suddenly felt a wave of anger surging inside him that even he was afraid of

He did not care who this person was or what this person had done. At this moment, he only wanted to completely cut this annoying guy into pieces and burn his corpse to ashes!

Clang—

Suddenly, a soft cry that sounded like a sharp blade being unsheathed filled Lin Ran's heart and cooled him down.

The bloodshot eyes faded and Lin Ran woke up from the mad state. He saw that the white part on the Yin-Yang Sword that represented justice was trembling slightly, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

“Phew—That was close!”

Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief, and then there was another loud clang. Shen Rulin, who had already fallen into madness, still did not give up on attacking.

However, with the help of the Yin-Yang Sword, Lin Ran quickly suppressed his surging killing intent. He took a deep breath and shouted sternly, “Shen Rulin! You're affected by the evil aura here! Wake up!”

After roaring three times in a row, Lin Ran still couldn't stop Shen Rulin. On the contrary, small cracks appeared on the sword energy barrier. Although there were only a few cracks, they were already signs that the sword energy barrier was about to dissipate.

Lin Ran's expression turned solemn. He realized that Shen Rulin had been infected too deeply by the evil aura. He was definitely not going to be awakened by just a few words.

If it were any other time, Lin Ran would have knocked him out with a punch, but now that Lin Ran's heart was filled with strong killing intent, he was not really confident that he could control the intensity of the punch.

As he thought about this, Lin Ran took the time to look at the two people beside him.

Xiao Huai's condition was still stable, and Huo Qiyun's realm also stopped at the fourth level of the Grandmaster Realm. However, Lin Ran could feel that there was still too much sword intent in Huo Qiyun's body. If he stopped now, Huo Qiyun would still explode and die.

“Hold on! Hold on a little longer!”

Lin Ran muttered under his breath. Maintaining the sword energy barrier to stall for time was the only way he could think of at this moment.

The Thunderball Sword kept slashing at the sword energy barrier. After the dense electric light flickered, the cracks on the barrier increased. It was like a broken mirror, making the crazy Shen Rulin look even more ferocious.

After an unknown period of time, perhaps three seconds or six hours, the crumbling sword energy barrier finally couldn't hold on anymore and exploded into specks.

At the same time, the restless sword intent in Huo Qiyun's body finally calmed down.

“Now!”

Lin Ran's pupils constricted. He grabbed Xiao Huai and Huo Qiyun with both hands and quickly retreated!

Actually, Lin Ran was taking a gamble. He wasn't sure if Huo Qiyun had really become one with the stone platform, but no matter what, he couldn't leave him by Shen Rulin's side.

Fortunately, Lin Ran made the right bet.

The moment he jumped up, Lin Ran clearly felt a resistance coming from Huo Qiyun. However, the resistance only lasted for a moment before Huo Qiyun was forcefully pulled out of the stone platform.

Then, the Thunderball Sword landed where Lin Ran had been standing. Thick lightning shot out and almost instantly shattered the stone platform.

Lin Ran used the shockwave of the explosion to rush to the edge of the pool, while Shen Rulin fell heavily into the swarm of black insects.

The black wave instantly swallowed him. Seeing this, Lin Ran did not hesitate for a moment. As he let go of Xiao Huai and Huo Qiyun, he tapped the edge of the pool and rushed forward!

A majestic sword intent spread out along an exquisite trajectory. Soon, the surging Black insects were cleared out of the water. Shen Rulin lay at the bottom of the pool with his eyes closed. It was unknown if he was unconscious or dead.

Lin Ran flew over and brought Shen Rulin up. When he pulled Shen Rulin up, he saw a stone on the ground that was stained with blood. It seemed that Shen Rulin had accidentally knocked himself unconscious when he fell.

The Thunderball Sword was nowhere to be found, but at this point, Lin Ran couldn't care less.

After returning to the shore, Lin Ran immediately stopped circulating his internal energy. The black insects were restless for a while before slowly calming down. He looked at the three people in front of him and began to worry.

The three people in front of him were all in a deep coma. Although the reason for their coma was different, there was one thing in common. They were not in a good state and had to be treated as soon as possible.

Therefore, the problem arose. If there were only Huo Qiyun and Xiao Huai, Lin Ran could just carry one on his back and carry the other in his arms. But now, there was Shen Rulin. Unless he grew another hand, it was impossible for him to get the three of them out in one go.

From a rational point of view, Xiao Huai needed the evil aura here to heal. It was most reasonable to take Shen Rulin and Huo Qiyun away first.

However, this way, if Xiao Huai woke up before Lin Ran returned and saw that she was trapped here where she was born, she might go berserk and Lin Ran would have no choice but to kill her personally.

However, if he took Xiao Huai away, no matter who of the other two was left here, he would be infected by the evil aura. That was also a problem.

Lin Ran couldn't help but feel anxious. The killing intent he had suppressed in his heart began to stir, but the more this was the case, the harder it was for him to calm down.

Just as Lin Ran was about to break down, he suddenly heard a slight cough.

Lin Ran subconsciously turned around and saw a withered old man walking out of the cave he had opened. His python-patterned white robe was covered in blood and someone had even cut off half of his arm.

The old man's aura was very weak and there was almost no internal energy fluctuation coming out of him, but his heartbeat was still strong. It was enough to show that this person was also a master.

“Are you Lin Ran?”

The old man looked at Lin Ran from afar and asked. His voice was not loud, but his tone was very calm, making people feel at ease.

Lin Ran's eyes flickered. He suddenly felt that this voice sounded familiar. He was stunned for a moment before asking, “Elder Shen?”

The old man nodded and cupped his hands at Lin Ran with difficulty. “I'm Shen Qingquan, the commander of the Golden Guards of the Five Elements Imperial Guards.”

Lin Ran quickly cupped his hands in return, but his expression turned strange. A while ago, Shen Rulin wanted to kill him because he thought Lin Ran had killed his father, but why was this old man standing here?

Before Lin Ran could figure out what was going on, Shen Qingquan had already walked around the pool with the help of the stone wall.

Seeing that the old man was walking with difficulty, Lin Ran quickly ran over to help him. If the old man fainted from exhaustion, he would have to carry four people out.
