The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 210 - 209 I Like Jade Sword Immortal the Most

Chapter 210: Chapter 209 I Like Jade Sword Immortal the Most

By the time Lin Yu realized what was happening, Lin Yun had also detected the enemy attack.

This was his first time being ambushed. In the past, whenever he traveled, he was always accompanied by powerful figures, except for that time he fled with Wang Wanqiu— and throughout that, they were constantly on the run, so there wasn’t much value in ambushing them.

As a result, Lin Yun never expected to encounter an ambush here.

However, he was not panicked at all. Wasn’t Lin Yu there?

Fang Yu had said that her cultivation level was not below his, and with her White Tiger attribute, who knows what effect the White Tiger had, but it surely was extraordinary. Why would I panic?

"No need to panic, watch my ’Myriad Swords Return to Origin’!"

Lin Yu was also taken aback by the name of Lin Yun’s technique, only to see his sword surrounded by a golden thunderbolt, poised to strike but not yet unleashed. As Lin Yun wielded his sword, those arrows flew toward him, their speed greatly reduced, and were ultimately captured by him.

This move had no other merit, it just looked good.

Lin Yu only needed one glance to understand the principle behind it. Lin Yun had released a powerful Thunderbolt Magic, which should be the Imperial Lightning Technique from the Shenxiao Sect, hiding thunder within the sword.

But Lin Yun released an excessive amount of spiritual power, so it also had an attractive force on external iron objects.

To tell the truth, using so much spiritual power against mere iron was simply wasteful.

Lin Yu deemed it flashy but impractical.

But Lin Yun was quite satisfied. The last time he was at the Sword Sect, he saw Hu Yuling attract other people’s Spirit Swords with her sword, and he thought it was very cool.

So, Lin Yun developed his own ’Myriad Swords Return to Origin.’ Although it only worked on iron objects, and most cultivators’ swords were crafted from various treasures rather than ordinary iron, but...

What does it matter? Being strong is temporary, but being cool is forever.

Anyway, I have plenty of spiritual power, might as well show off.

Imparting those arrows with a strand of the Power of Thunder, Lin Yun waved his hand and sent the arrows flying back to their origins.

"Swoosh..."

Another sound of piercing air, Lin Yu was about to intervene, but after a quick assessment, she realized that the power of the arrow, though significant, was still within Lin Yun’s defensive capability. They had an agreement that she would not take action unless it was a matter of life and death.

Lin Yun indeed needed some experience in battle. Since it was combat, there was no need to waste excess energy. Precise killing of the enemy was key. Like Lin Yun’s previous sword move, it wasted a lot of spiritual power and didn’t cause any damage.

This cold arrow came unexpectedly, and Lin Yun was still pondering over how cool he had been when, without warning, another arrow was shot his way. There was only one arrow, but its power was immense.

Fortunately, Lin Yun was quick and dodged the arrow with a swift sidestep. However, that foolish chicken, startled, flapped its wings and collided with the arrow.

Lin Yun was dumbfounded and looked at Lin Yu.

You’re supposed to be an expert, and you couldn’t even protect a chicken?

Lin Yu: "..."

Her attention had been on Lin Yun, wondering how he would handle the situation. Just as the arrow was about to reach him and Lin Yu prepared to step in and rescue him, Lin Yun pulled off a last-minute dodge. He was playing with Lin Yu’s heartbeat.

Realizing Lin Yun was unharmed, Lin Yu, of course, sighed with relief and thus overlooked the fate of the chicken.

The chicken, having been pierced through the heart by the arrow, was likely done for.

As the chicken fell straight down, Lin Yun maintained his cultivator’s demeanor and gently descended.

He felt that the opponent was not very strong, so it was important that his hairstyle didn’t get messed up.

"Who’s the coward that dares to attack my chicken? Show yourself and face your death!"

Lin Yu silently facepalmed. This foolish kid, too naive, right?

Lin Yu didn’t know that Lin Yun, when feeling safe, was very likely to become dramatic, as he was doing now.

Even if it was just a chicken that died, he didn’t feel in danger, and so, his chuunibyou spirit acted up.

At his shout, twelve men suddenly charged out from the reeds by the lake. They were armed with sharp blades, looking at Lin Yun with anger.

The leader was a burly man, probably two and a half meters tall, holding a longbow. The bow seemed extraordinary, likely a Spiritual Artifact. The last arrow was most likely shot by him.

"Brothers, form the formation!"

The twelve men formed a circle, trapping Lin Yun in the middle.

Lin Yu silently watched the scene unfold, absentmindedly plucking the chicken.

Since the bird was dead, it would be a waste to leave it behind. It was better to cook it properly; she’d never cooked such a large chicken before!

"Pervert, you have committed numerous misdeeds; today shall be your end!"

"What?"

The looks on Lin Yun and Lin Yu’s faces were both off.

Even Lin Yu looked doubtfully at Lin Yun for a moment, just as Lin Yun turned to glance at her.

"You suspect me?"

Lin Yun felt hurt. I admit I’m a bit lecherous, but it’s always others lusting after my body, okay!

"Er, no."

Lin Yu was just subconsciously skeptical for a moment. After all, Lin Yun really was quite bad, and she had experienced it herself. But to believe Lin Yun was a pervert, she wouldn’t go that far.

However, to be suddenly accused by so many angry people calling Lin Yun a pervert, a moment of curiosity was permissible, right?

"Rascal, face my sword!"

The man leading the group saw that Lin Yun was surrounded, but he wasn’t panicked; instead, he flirted with the woman. Clearly, he didn’t take them seriously, which made him very angry. He pulled out his sword and charged directly at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun dodged casually and kicked him away with a single foot. When the others joined the fray, Lin Yun took them down with one kick each. Among them were even Qi Cultivation cultivators, but the one with the highest Cultivation Level was merely at the Mortal Transcendence phase, which instantly dampened Lin Yun’s interest.

"Not a single good fighter among them."

Lin Yun offered this comment offhandedly. He had thought that by coming down the mountain, he would at least encounter some opponents of equal strength or even those who could offer him a challenge beyond his level. Instead, they were all weaklings.

"Scoundrel, don’t get cocky. Today we may have been defeated by you, but one day you will surely be struck by heavenly wrath!"

"You big oaf, are you stupid? With looks like mine, do you really think I need to be a scoundrel? You’ve mistaken me for someone else."

Lin Yun didn’t kill them because they were just pure simpletons; killing them would be meaningless. Besides, if these people died, who would he go to for compensation?

A flying chicken was worth fifteen thousand, with a deposit of twenty thousand required. If the flying chicken died, the deposit wasn’t refunded, after all, Guanghan Palace wouldn’t suffer a loss.

"How could I possibly mistake someone else for you!"

The burly leader shouted angrily, "Don’t try to deceive me. Besides the Jade-Faced Silver Fox, who else could possess features as handsome as yours!"

"Hmm, you’re actually not blind, just a bit foolish, that’s all."

Lin Yun’s own anger had subsided by then, but of course, compensation was still required.

By this time, the big guy had finally realized his mistake. Indeed, if Lin Yun truly were a scoundrel, after defeating them, he could have simply killed them; there was no need to explain himself further.

"Are you really not the Jade-Faced Silver Fox?"

"Of course not, but the words ’Jade-Faced’ do seem fitting for me."

It had a bit of that classic martial arts flair. It wasn’t quite cool enough to wander the martial world without a nickname, like how Lin Yu had the nickname Jade Sword Immortal!

"Sis, what do you think would be a good nickname for me?"

Lin Yun, acting on his whims, turned his head and struck up a conversation with Lin Yu. Lin Yu was caught off guard by being called "sister" by Lin Yun and, for some reason, felt a shiver down her spine—an electrifying, tingling sensation.

"Do whatever you want. Cultivators should not care too much about empty titles."

"True. Let’s keep it simple then. How about Cloud Sword Immortal? Sounds like it could be a pair with Jade Sword Immortal!"

Lin Yu: "..."

This impudent fellow! He’s teasing her again!

Lin Yu picked up on the teasing tone in his words but couldn’t come up with a retort.

The big guy heard Lin Yun’s words and said, "Do you also admire the Jade Sword Immortal?"

"Of course, I like the Jade Sword Immortal the most. To roam the world with a sword alongside her would be such a joyful thing."

Lin Yu felt terribly uncomfortable, Lin Yun was being too bold and increasingly unrestrained. He was taking advantage of the fact that she was too embarrassed to reveal her identity and brazenly said such things that made her blush in front of others.

Truly...

She glared at Lin Yun furiously, but for some reason, her heart was filled with delight.

Lin Yun’s words resonated with the big man. Back when the unparalleled pair dominated the martial world, every cultivator, men and women alike, had dreamed of such things, hadn’t they?

Ideally, being embraced from the left and the right, one on each side.

The big guy gave Lin Yun a knowing look, one that said "I understand you." His silly appearance coupled with that lecherous gaze made Lin Yun exclaim "damn it."

"If the Jade Sword Immortal were still around, the scoundrels of the martial world wouldn’t dare to be so rampant."

The big guy suddenly showed a wistful expression and said, the understanding between men doesn’t require much, just a hint and it’s enough.

Realizing it was all a misunderstanding, the big guy clasped his hands together and said, "My name is Lu Jingyun, the third disciple of the Cloud Rain Sect from Cloudcoming Mountain. Our sect has a junior sister who is unparalleled in beauty.

Unfortunately, her fame has become too great, and the Jade-Faced Silver Fox has declared that on the next full moon night, he will come to take her virtue. The sect has been in turmoil, and the junior sister has been in tears. As her senior brothers, how can we stand by and let this happen? That’s why we were lying in ambush here.

It is truly regrettable that we harmed your Spirit Bird by accident, and we ask for your forgiveness. We will certainly compensate at the agreed price."

"Hmm, I forgive you, two thousand taels of gold as compensation."

Lu Jingyun: "..."

So he really was charging them? Shouldn’t typical chivalrous folk generously declare that wealth is nothing but worldly possessions, then join forces to defeat the scoundrel and spread a good story across the martial world? Isn’t that better?

I only mentioned compensation as a formality!

Lu Jingyun had never encountered someone who didn’t play by the rules like this and felt somewhat awkward for a moment.

"About that, I don’t have that much money."

"No money? Then you’ll have to leave something else as collateral. I like the look of that bow of yours."

Lu Jingyun: "..."

This was a superior-grade Spiritual Artifact, the most treasured item in the sect, and only because he was to intercept the scoundrel did the Sect Master lend it to him.

This thing was worth more than a flying chicken!

Lu Jingyun’s look at Lin Yun suddenly became strange.

Big brother, why do you seem like someone from the Demon Sect?
