Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 134

134 Betrayed, Who Can He Trust?

When the token vibrated, it buzzed slightly. Lin Ran had been a mountain guardian before and knew that someone had triggered the mountain-protecting array formation.

However, the problem was that Brother Hong and his lacke were all lying here. Huo Qiyun and Xiao Huai were still waiting for him at the shrine. How could anyone activate the array formation? Could it be that someone else was here?

Just as Lin Ran was feeling puzzled, Liu Hongshan suddenly said without rhyme or reason, “They got it so quickly?”

Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, “Who? Did you bring helpers?”

!!
“Your helper.”

Liu Hongshan gave Lin Ran a strange smile. “You must be curious, right? Why did I choose to appear in such a situation after plotting for decades?”

Lin Ran didn’t say anything. In fact, Liu Hongshan didn’t intend to let him speak.

Half a second later, Liu Hongshan continued, “Actually, I don’t want to show up so early, but I have no choice. That demon begged me to stall you here so that they have enough time to do it.”

“Do it?”

Lin Ran frowned slightly. “What? Is Xiao Huai going to harm Huo Qiyun?”

“Of course not! They’re on the same side!”

Liu Hongshan roared with laughter. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead as if he had thought of something. “By the way, you still don’t know, right? The two people beside you are already my helpers!”

“Impossible!”

Lin Ran shouted angrily, “Maybe that demon will betray me, but Huo Qiyun will never betray me!”

“Don’t be so confident.”

Liu Hongshan narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, as if he was appreciating Lin Ran’s anger. “The demon is the same kind of person as me. We both pursue extreme power. If I can fulfill the demon’s wish, why won’t the demon help me?”

“From the moment you left the palace, that demon has been telling me every move you made. Huo Qiyun has a Mount Guardian Patrol Token that he obtained from the Dao Seeking Sect. Even you don’t know about this, right?”

Lin Ran frowned, his face filled with disbelief. “That’s impossible! Huo Qiyun won’t betray me. No!”

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you!”

Liu Hongshan chuckled, his face filled with smugness after his scheme succeeded. “While we were chatting, they had already taken the Sacred Abyss Sword and left… I’ll leave this little to you. If you don’t believe me, go take a look yourself!”

With that, Liu Hongshan tore off the token from his waist and threw it to the ground. He jumped up and was about to leave on his sword.

But how could Lin Ran let him have his way?

With a stomp of his foot, the solid ground instantly exploded. As dust flew, Lin Ran’s figure shot towards Liu Hongshan like an arrow leaving the bow!

“No matter what, killing you will solve all the problems!”

Lin Ran shouted, emitting the aura of a Senior Grandmaster!

A Taiji pattern spread out from the Yin-Yang Sword in Lin Ran’s right hand and instantly enveloped Liu Hongshan!

The collision of the good and evil aura caused Liu Hongshan’s movements to slow down for a moment.

At this moment, the Dark Insect Sword condensed in Lin Ran’s left hand. Then, it tore through the air and slashed at Liu Hongshan’s back!

“Hmph! This is far from being enough to kill me.”

Liu Hongshan, who had broken free from the Taiji pattern, sneered. He actually exuded the aura of a sixth level Half-Saint!

With a flip of his wrist, he held the Dragon Roar Dagger horizontally in front of him. However, he did not expect that the black light was not sword energy. After being split into two by the Dragon Roar Dagger, it continued to slash at him!

This sudden change made Liu Hongshan’s expression change drastically, but it was too late to dodge. He could only hurriedly activate his cultivation technique to protect himself.

In the next second, two black lights slashed at Liu Hongshan’s body. Strangely, although the black lights looked menacing, they did not have much force when they landed on his body.

Just as Liu Hongshan was feeling puzzled, his clothes suddenly began to emit white smoke. Then, all the places that were in contact with the black light began to feel intense pain!

Liu Hongshan’s expression instantly changed. After flashing away, he glared at Lin Ran and shouted, “Brat! What sword technique is this?!”

“It’s none of your business!”

Lin Ran shouted coldly. Before he could finish speaking, he had already flashed in front of Liu Hongshan and slashed out two more black lights!

After learning a lesson, Liu Hongshan no longer dared to fight head-on. After dodging the two black lights with difficulty, he drew a cold arc in the air with the Dragon Roar Dagger and slashed down at Lin Ran’s head!

At this moment, the distance between the two of them was extremely close. In a hurry, Lin Ran could only raise the Yin-Yang Sword to block. With a loud clang, a ball of sparks exploded where the two swords collided!

A huge force weighed down on Lin Ran. Lin Ran’s expression instantly changed. This terrifying force was not caused by the collision of swords. It was like a thousand-pound hammer pressing down on him.

Lin Ran had no chance to resist and was smashed to the ground by this heavy sword!

Boom!

A huge pit more than ten feet wide burst open on the ground.

When the flying gravel and dust dissipated, Lin Ran was lying at the bottom of the pit with his eyes closed, clearly unconscious.

Liu Hongshan landed on the ground slowly. He looked at his tattered clothes and then at the pitch-black sword in Lin Ran’s hand. After a moment, he finally flew away on his sword.

Almost at the same time, Lin Ran opened one eye in the pit. After confirming that Liu Hongshan had really left, he sat up.

“Phew—He’s indeed born with extraordinary strength. Although he’s at the sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm like me, his strength is probably almost comparable to the peak of the Half-Saint Realm!”

Lin Ran muttered as he walked out of the pit. His entire body was sore and in pain.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that he had deliberately hidden his strength when he attacked. Otherwise, with his physical condition, he would definitely not be in such a sorry state.

In fact, the risk of Lin Ran hiding his cultivation was extremely high. In a battle between masters, life and death were decided in an instant, not to mention that his opponent was Dragon Elephant Divine Master, who was born with supreme strength. If he was not careful, he might die on the spot!

However, thinking of the benefits he had obtained from this confrontation, Lin Ran felt that this risk was worth it.

Although Liu Hongshan kept saying that Huo Qiyun had sided with him, from the moment Liu Hongshan was certain that the Sacred Abyss Sword in Mount Sword was authentic, Lin Ran knew that Huo Qiyun was only pretending to join him.

Although he didn’t know why Huo Qiyun did this, Lin Ran still played along and pretended to be mad. He even took the risk to hide his cultivation when he attacked so that they could gain Liu Hongshan’s trust.

This was the only thing Lin Ran could do now, because he had no idea what Huo Qiyun would do next.

Without knowing Huo Qiyun’s actions, Lin Ran couldn’t cooperate. This was an extremely dangerous situation for both of them!
