Sentient Rainbow Butterfly

Sentient Rainbow Butterfly

"Whew, the injuries in my body have finally, completely recovered. The spiritual energy in the Ten Thousand Mountains really is quite good. I just wonder whether I can find some spirit herbs to aid my cultivation."

Lin Yu muttered to himself. The reason he had left the Lin Family and chosen the Ten Thousand Mountains was, first, because he had his eye on its spiritual energy, and second, because of the spirit herbs and Magic Beasts hidden within.

He rose again, only to feel a powerful aura pressing down on him. His brows furrowed as he thought, This spiritual energy is so crisp and clear. What exactly is it? Lin Yu looked toward the place where the spiritual energy was emanating from, his heart filled with doubt.

If something like this had released its spiritual energy, it was impossible that no cultivators would find it. Lin Yu did not know what to say. If he went over, he might truly run into some powerful cultivator; if he did not go... it was simply a dilemma.

At last, a smile spread across Lin Yu's lips. He climbed directly up a great tree and darted from branch to branch. Even if someone spotted him, they would only think he was a wild monkey in the trees and would never consider any other possibility.

As he moved through the forest, he really did see quite a few cultivators rushing toward that place. Of course, some turned back halfway through. Before he even knew what had happened ahead, he felt an arrow fly past his shoulder...

"What kind of thing are you, daring to set your sights on the rainbow butterfly? My young master is gathering herbs here. Leave at once, or do not blame us for slaying you, beast." Lin Yu looked at the three men below. They were clearly not from the same Lineage, yet they had joined forces for something like this.

There had to be fighting going on inside. Lin Yu drew a long breath and said calmly, "Beast? What a fine word, beast. Yet coming from your mouths, it takes on a different flavor..." A bow appeared in Lin Yu's hand as well, and the arrow was the very one they had just fired.

The moment the arrow was nocked, it shot out. The three men were so frightened that they each stepped back. The archer cried out, "I clearly heard the sound of a sword shattering just now. How could you possibly..." He cast an incredulous gaze at Lin Yu, unable to say another word.

"Tch, what is so difficult about that? I merely caught your arrow with my hand. As for the sounds you heard, all I can say is that your ears are bad. Did you really think you could stop me?" Lin Yu did not push his words too far. He was waiting for them to leave; otherwise, he would have no way of proceeding.

"Brother Pan, I cannot see through this fellow's strength, but I can tell that he is very strong. You would not mind joining forces with us, would you?" Yang Yan turned his eyes toward Pan Sanqiu, while Yang Miao stood there staring fixedly at Lin Yu, afraid he would fire another arrow.

"Yes, I was thinking the same. We must keep this fellow here..." The two men spoke almost in unison. Lin Yu finally lowered his arrogant gaze. The three of them had guarded this place well enough; it was only a pity that they had encountered an opponent they should never have met.

Lin Yu tilted his head and looked at the weapons in their hands. "I am very curious. Just who are your masters inside?" Lin Yu wondered what those people inside were, and how they could have such loyal servants. As for Nu Sheng, he had never considered him a servant.

"My master is Gu Tian, son of His Majesty the Ancient Emperor." Yang Yan spoke with great pride, and a trace of disdain appeared on Lin Yu's face. Lin Yu glanced at him, then shifted his gaze to Pan Sanqiu, who said, "My master is Yan Tian, son of His Majesty the Flame Emperor."

"Oh, so they are the descendants of those two old undying bastards. That works out perfectly. I still have some unfinished grudges with that Ancient Emperor fellow. By the way, is the Linglong Princess all right?" The moment Lin Yu said this, everyone was puzzled. He had a grudge against the Ancient Emperor, yet he was asking whether the Linglong Princess was safe.

Yang Yan and Yang Miao exchanged a glance, shock appearing on their faces. Then they said, "If I am not mistaken, you are the Great General, aren't you? Must even a prince's affairs be obstructed by you?" Lin Yu jumped down from the tree, and his age clearly exceeded both men's expectations.

Lin Yu continued, "Tch, the grudge between him and me cannot be settled. That thing's spiritual energy fluctuations are rather strong too. If I go and obtain it, would that not be a loss?"

Lin Yu stood there and smiled again, quietly waiting for something. Only then did he continue, "Oh, right. The people he sent out to kill others probably never imagined something like this would happen today." Lin Yu glanced over, his face darkening in an instant. He smiled and said lightly, "If I kill you, no one inside should notice, right?"

As he spoke, Lin Yu stomped backward. Spiritual energy continuously transformed within his Body Tempering physique, and swords appeared in their hands in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the three men were locked in battle.

Lin Yu soon nodded and said with a smile, "Your strength is not bad either. I suppose the identities of those two princes are anything but ordinary. Otherwise, they would not have servants like you protecting them." Lin Yu glanced at them, not knowing what else to say.

His sword swept horizontally in an instant, and the three men swiftly retreated. Lin Yu nodded and let out a long breath. "Listen to me. Your strength truly is impressive, but I still think playing with you is better. What is happening inside may not necessarily be enough to kill you."

In an instant, Lin Yu unleashed the Body-Slaying Sword Art. Sword strike after sword strike flashed out, the blade directly shredding their clothes apart. The three men's eyes widened. Seventh-stage Body Tempering strength was already considered formidable, but this spiritual energy...

"I forgot to tell you: among the assassins the Ancient Emperor sent that day was even a ninth-stage peak Half-Step Netherpassage cultivator. Even he was no match for me, much less the likes of you." Lin Yu had now completely run out of patience. With a flicker, he appeared before him and swung his sword, directly slaying Pan Sanqiu.

Lin Yu turned around and sheathed his sword, then slew the charging Yang Miao. Only Yang Yan remained. Lin Yu said calmly, "Your strength truly is not bad. Unfortunately, you met an opponent you should never have encountered. Leave. It is only a matter of one sword. A life in this world ends as nothing more than a mound of yellow earth..."
