《The One and Only》C40. Swaggering Off
Advertisement
Seeing that it was nothing valuable, Tong Hu laughed. “No problem. But in general, only alchemists need to practice the incredibly boring Spirit Leading Script. It’s of little help to you.”
“It doesn’t matter. I also need a seed of the White Remnant Flower.”
Lin Yun already had a detailed plan, but there was no need to tell Tong Hu the truth.
“Okay.”
To Tong Hu’s surprise, it was so easy to satisfy Lin Yun whom he thought would pick some precious treasures instead.
He saw Lin Yun off in rapture by saying “welcome back” repetitively after fetching him a few seeds of the White Remnant Flower.
Turning his head when stepping out of the Wan Bao Pavilion, Lin Yun let out a sigh.
He had spent more than 3000 inferior spiritual stones here last time, while today, the number actually increased to over 50,000.
Wan Bao Pavilion was really an unfathomable abyss which would engulf all of your money. However, it was a pity that Lin Yun fell into its trap willingly.
“It’s late already, so I should return to the Qingyun Sect.”
With a glimpse of the sky, Lin Yun quickened his steps, and was ready to leave the White Water City, which was more crowded than usual due to the auction.
There were still numerous warriors sauntering on the streets even at twilight.
“Charge! Charge! Charge!”
About ten minutes later, Lin Yun heard a flurry of clip-clop from the afar. Someone was rushing towards them on the horseback.
Except for the noise, Lin Yun could also sense the compelling aura emitted by evil spirits that were approaching, which forced his hair to stand on end from a distance.
“Get out of my way!”
The shrill sound of the horsewhips, as well as the loud reproach floated to Lin Yun’s ears.
The crowded street fell into disorder all of a sudden.
All of the citizens stepped away in fear.
Lin Yun looked up and saw a group of people darting towards him unscrupulously on their horses.
The fur of the leader’s strong horse was bloody red.
Every time it stamped its hooves, the deafening sound would shake the whole street. Given its eyes filled with homicidal intent and the threatening evil aura surrounding it, it was definitely a monstrous beast.

With a careful discerning at the man on the horse, Lin Yun turned sullen. It was the young lord of the Yuns.
Other warriors on horses behind him were at least the same as Lin Yun whose martial skills have reached the sixth level.
The young lord fixed his eyes on Lin Yun with a grim smile on his face. “Lin, I have been waiting for you for so long. Now that you have come to the White Water City, you should stay a little longer!”
Since being humiliated at the auction by Lin Yun, the young host had put his servants on the tail of him as soon as he left the salesroom.
After getting the information about his lingering at Wan Bao Pavilion, the young lord called his guards together to lurk on the street, intending to catch Lin Yun directly when he stepped out.
The once crowded street became quiet instantly with all the people escaping at a tremendous speed.
The warriors at both sides of the street stared at Lin Yun in sympathy.
“He didn’t flee after offending the young lord of the Yuns.”
“The young host is a well-known ruffian in this city. Those who offended him would suffer the most severe punishment.”
“The horse he is riding must be the monstrous beast Blooded Dragon Horse whose martial skills had already reached the seventh level!”
“It seems to be the legendary horse which is guarding their yard. How can the black sheep ride it out on such a random occasion.”
The young host, followed by his guards, was rushing towards Lin Yun aggressively on the street, while the distance between them was reduced to less than a kilometer in a short period.
With plenty of ideas popping in his head, Lin Yun’s first choice was to blend into the crowd at the side of the street, but on a second thought, he was sure that his enemies must have been more familiar with the White Water City than he was.
Sooner or later, Lin Yun would be caught by the young lord. Fighting with more than twenty guards at the sixth level simultaneously would surely exhaust his energy and inner power.

Lin Yun had no choice but to confront them directly.
At such an instant, Lin Yun, with his sharp eyes like an unsheathed sword, had made the decision.
He merely had one chance, so he had to defeat all the enemies with one strike. Otherwise, the reinforcement from the Yuns would arrive.
Survive by one strike or die.
Lin Yun, with his left hand, which was holding the Flower Buried Sword, shaking slightly, tightened his muscles all over like an elastic chord. He was holding his breath!
While to others, he seemed to be shuddering in fear, and have forgotten to flee.
“Why doesn’t this young man run?”
“He must be stupefied.”
Many onlookers began to worry about him.
The guards on the horseback were approaching. When the distance between them was reduced to 100 meters, Lin Yun began moving!
In only a single step.
An incomparable rampageous force was driven by Lin Yun just then. The wind and cloud were swirling rapidly within the raging tide, producing savage power as if howling tigers and fire-spitting dragons!
Before they could react, the horses of the guards shook wildly and then lost control at the same time. More than twenty of them, including the young lord of the Yuns, were caught unprepared and knocked off from the horseback unmercifully.
Whoosh!
Having saved up enough strength, Lin Yun leaped high up into the air before unsheathing the long sword.
Swords rotating to form the wind!
The Flower Burying Sword, like the spilling-out spring in autumn, swirled rapidly in Lin Yun’s palm. The vigorous Pure Yang Script within his body was instantly absorbed into the sword.
His strike hadn’t finished yet!
What he truly intended to use was called Flowing Shadow of Reflective Light, the one he never tried in the combat before since he gained the achievement in the Flowing Wind Swordplay!
Lin Yun’s figure was swirling up and down fast with his sword in the air.
In a split second, with the dazzling shadow of the Flower Burying Sword glistening all over, streaks of blood were splashed everywhere.
When Lin Yun landed, three sword wounds had found their way on the skin of the Yun’s warriors.
Bang! Bang!
Falling heavily to the ground one by one, they whined painfully while rolling over.
The strike, only lasting no more than three seconds from stepping out to returning to the ground, changed the situation entirely.
Clip-clop! Clip-clop!
All of the warriors on both sides of the road were stunned by the Blooded Dragon Horse, which was darting towards Lin Yun in rage after a neigh in order to take revenge for his wounded master. He wouldn’t stand a chance if kicked by its hooves.
However, Lin Yun, with a smile on his face, remained calm.
After sheathing his sword, he turned around and patted the forehead of that Blooded Dragon Horse.
In him the tiger sniffs the rose!
The infuriated horse suddenly knelt down before Lin Yun out of fear.
All the onlookers couldn’t believe what they saw.
The Blooded Dragon Horse, famous for its fierceness and aggressiveness, knelt down before Lin Yun due to a pat on its forehead.
Ignoring others’ astonishment, Lin Yun pulled the rein and rode on its back swiftly.
“My Blooded Dragon Horse!”
The young host of the Yuns, lying in blood and too badly hurt to get up, almost cried at the sight of Lin Yun stealing his legendary beast.
“It’s so rude to decline your kindness. Thanks you for giving me this horse as a present. By the way, it was me who sold the ten Blood Flame Bones.” Lin Yun stared at the young host condescendingly.
“What the hell…”
The young lord’s mind went blank immediately.
Charge!
With a growl, Lin Yun rushed past the young lord directly, giving him no chance to dwell upon his words.
The aggressive horse swaggered off with Lin Yun on his back, trampling on the guards’ bodies. Mistaking the Time

Khaldir's Observer
Markus Kuberski, a 21-year-old mechanical engineering student at the Vienna University of Technology and a weeb, is bored by life. He has no girlfriend he cannot meet up with his friends because there is another Covid-lockdown and getting a side-job is also unsuccessful. Therefore, he has started to write a web novel. “If I cannot be the main character with magical powers and a harem full of cute girls in real life then I will create my own universe and be its protagonist.” Although that has been his first thought, he neither dare to use himself as the main character’s template nor write a harem story. “I am not that desperate!” he muses to himself. Little does he know that he will get more than he asked for when a mighty existence becomes interested in his story and makes it a reality. Hello, this is my first attempt at creating something like a novel. English is also not my native language, so expect some grammar and punctuation issues. I am using Grammarly to help myself in this regard, but in some areas, the free app cannot correct everything.There is currently no fixed schedule, although I believe that two chapters per week should be reasonable. Depending on how much time I have, I can write more.

It could generate energy without having to take any energy. Basically, it broke The Laws of Thermodynamic and Einstein's Law Conservation of Mass Energy, no, all the rule and law that we know of, doesn't apply to the Philosopher's Stone. But how? Where can we found this crimson colored gem? 2094 ADWe the researchers at the Genesis Lab finally found our answer. The Philosopher's Stone is not a Gem or any other precious mineral. It is an Organism, that can replicate itself perpetually. Our greedy minds have already started thinking of various thing especially about 'how can we abuse this poor thing' kind of thought. We can feed them to livestock. Additionally the excrement of those livestock can be used as a fertilizer. Voila! Infinite food and oxygen. But still, we don't know where to find this crimson colored life-form. Spring 2095 ADWE FINALLY DID IT!When we are deciphering some sort of ancient text related to the Mayans, we found out about where it was and how can we obtained it. The method that ancient people used seems to utilize human sacrifice as an offering to Gods. But hey, now we know that Gods exist, and more importantly Their whereabouts. If the ancient people used human sacrifice as the toll to open the portal. Then, we the modern people could simply use some sort of mini-sized black hole with specific coordinate to force this hidden life-form come to this world. Fundamentally, we just needed to mimic the portal that Gods himself open to answer their offering. Allright, let's do this. Summer 2095 ADEverything is progressing as we wanted.Every trivial thing on our side seems to be working in order.We can commence the operation 'Child's Play' early next year.-LB-
