Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 2061: Chapter 1850: How Will You Compensate?

Magic artifacts are extremely rare; even in the Hermit Realm’s four major powers, there are only one or two pieces.

At this moment, the "Dragon Bind" that Shen Lingyun took out was unheard of by everyone.

It seemed that he must have acquired it very recently.

"Big words for a mere broken chain daring to call itself ’Dragon Bind’. You couldn’t even tie up an earthworm!"

Seeing Shen Lingyun attacking, Song Yun snorted coldly and retreated, dodging Shen Lingyun’s strike.

Bam.

The Nine-section Whip struck where Song Yun had just stood, scattering debris, and leaving a palm-wide, two-meter-long mark on the ground.

Moreover, a whip shadow was released from the Nine-section Whip, charging towards the crowd outside the ring.

As the whip shadow was about to injure innocents, a figure appeared — it was none other than Elder Xue, the referee.

Elder Xue waved his large hand; the air twisted, and the whip shadow stalled momentarily before being dissipated by his palm wind.

Only then did everyone realize that Elder Xue was actually of SSS rank.

But there was no time to ponder that, as the battle in the ring recaptured everyone’s attention.

The ring was filled with whip shadows.

The ground was cracked all over, and the platform was on the verge of shattering.

Song Yun maneuvered skillfully among the countless whip shadows.

No matter how many whip shadows there were, they could not harm him.

Shen Lingyun could predict his movements; likewise, Song Yun could predict Shen Lingyun’s whip swings.

Furthermore, Song Yun was gradually approaching Shen Lingyun.

The stray whip shadows flying out of the ring were all neutralized by Elder Xue.

If not, who knows how many innocents would be hurt.

At this point, the scene in the ring exceeded everyone’s expectations; even watching from the side was very dangerous.

Yet everyone was focused, unwilling to miss the spectacular scene.

Now, Song Yun was already within two meters of Shen Lingyun.

"Fool, you dare get this close!"

Suddenly, Shen Lingyun sneered.

"Heaven and Earth Net!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Shen Lingyun’s wrist flicked with such speed it was hard to see clearly; the Nine-section Whip churned continuously, and the whip shadows multiplied several times.

Countless whip shadows linked together, forming a gigantic net in the air, descending upon Song Yun.

All this happened in an instant.

Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts, wondering how Song Yun would resolve such a crisis.

"Don’t you have that broken magic artifact? Why not use it!"

Shen Lingyun sneered repeatedly, continuing to swing his whip.

The Black Light Sword, investigated by the Shen family long ago, was a magic artifact.

Yet a broken magic artifact, could it possibly compare to the "Dragon Bind"?

Thus, Shen Lingyun didn’t give it any thought.

Song Yun was prepared, with his hand already on the Black Light Sword’s hilt.

Seeing the whip shadows covering the sky, the range was so vast it almost encompassed half the ring.

Despite having the Phantom Step, dodging was already too late.

Song Yun had not used the Black Light Sword earlier, honing himself instead.

But now, in a critical situation, there’s no choice but to draw the sword.

Swish.

A black beam of light appeared from his hand.

People below the ring couldn’t even clearly see what he was holding.

Next, a black Sword Qi, several meters wide, shot upward.

The Sword Qi was commanding, with astounding power, changing the winds and clouds.

If Shen Lingyun’s whip shadow was a creek, then Song Yun’s released Sword Qi was a river, incomparable.

Boom.

The Black Light Sword Qi pierced through the endless whip shadows.

Like a missile explosion, a powerful shock wave spread out, shaking the earth and mountains.

The surrounding mountain walls echoed with loud rumbling.

Chunks of rock fell from the mountain walls.

Those whip shadows were ground to dust by the Sword Qi, powerless to resist.

After breaking through the whip shadows, the momentum of the Sword Qi continued towards the sky.

Rustling sounds arose, as the dense leaves a hundred meters up were destroyed by the Sword Qi, creating a hole, through which a beam of cloud light shone down.

The entire Changshan Sect was covered by the dense forest.

This opening was particularly conspicuous.

Yet nobody paid attention to above; everyone’s eyes were fixed tightly on the broken sword in Song Yun’s hand.

This sword was entirely pitch-black, emanating a chilling black sheen.

Undoubtedly, this was a magic artifact, albeit broken.

But the power of this broken magic artifact far exceeded the complete artifact in Shen Lingyun’s hand.

At this moment, everyone was astounded.

Even Song Yun was somewhat surprised.

The power of the Black Light Sword exceeded his expectations.

However, upon reconsideration, as a magic artifact specially mentioned in Yin Xi’s Manual, it was naturally more advanced than others.

"How is it possible? How is it possible? A broken artifact, better than my Dragon Bind!"

Shen Lingyun stood in place, his face full of shock.

He looked up at Song Yun; his previously arrogant gaze now held a trace of fear.

"Faster than me, better realm than me, stronger battle power than me!"

Song Yun stared at Shen Lingyun and walked forward step by step, coldly saying, "Now, even your magic artifact is no match for this broken sword. I wonder, do you have other means?"

Facing Song Yun’s overwhelming aura, Shen Lingyun’s body trembled, losing the will to fight.

All his reliance was suppressed by Song Yun.

In front of Song Yun, his pride was utterly crushed.

"I... I..."

Shen Lingyun’s eyes showed unwillingness, his voice trembling, hesitating to admit defeat.

Song Yun raised an eyebrow, not giving Shen Lingyun a chance, slashing out with his sword.

The domineering Black Light Sword Qi was released from the broken sword.

At this moment, Shen Lingyun felt fear.
