As Lin Fan finished speaking, golden immortal winds suddenly swirled around him. The Coiling Dragon Long Sword embedded in his jade thumb ring hummed as it broke free and landed in his hand.
All nine coiling dragon patterns on the sword lit up together. Golden sword qi instantly pierced the clouds, even shredding the plaque above the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Seas Divine Temple. Splintered wood clattered down.
"Yun Che, you heretic whom even the Heaven and Earth Will cannot tolerate! Today, I will carry out heaven's justice and take your head as an offering to my lord's departed spirit!"
Lin Fan leveled his sword at him. Golden radiance spread along the blade, forcibly dyeing half the sky gold.
With a push of his toes, Yun Che leaped ten thousand meters into the sky, holding the Immortal-Splitting Saber across his body. Azure sun moon star power surged along its blade, tearing an opening through the golden radiance filling the sky.
"Your lord Yun Jin fell to my saber back then. Now that you've delivered yourself to me, master and servant can keep each other company on the road to the underworld."
As his words fell, Yun Che blurred into motion and lunged at Lin Fan amid sky-filling star power. The Immortal-Splitting Saber unleashed an azure saber beam that spanned the sky. Before the wind of its slash arrived, it had already cleaved Lin Fan's spreading immortal light in two.
Rather than retreat, Lin Fan advanced, swinging the Coiling Dragon Long Sword to meet him. The golden sword struck the azure saber, and the piercing clang scattered the surrounding clouds. The clouds beneath them were instantly blasted apart by the shock waves. Their figures moved so fast in midair that only two afterimages remained, saber light and sword shadows
