Fantasy: I Can Control the Script of My Life

With his confidence restored, Lin Yun's movements grew even faster. He slashed out again and again with his sword.

Ouyang Chun, on the other hand, had completely lost his will to fight.

"Something's not right," the Chongqing Bird remarked. "This man is a sword cultivator, isn't he? How can he be so cowardly?" The bird had encountered sword cultivators before, but one like Ouyang Chun was a rare sight.

At this, Ezu sneered. "The path of later-generation sword cultivators is different from that of the ancients. What's more, the man you're looking at had his Sword Heart shattered long ago." He was experienced and knowledgeable. He could tell at a glance that Ouyang Chun had once been very strong but was now unfit for any important task. Otherwise, with his abilities, how could he have been beaten into such a pathetic state by Lin Yun?

Lin Yun gripped his sword with one hand. The fully mastered Azure Origin Sword Style flowed from his hands with the might of a tiger, like layers of overlapping waves, one crashing after another.

And Ouyang Chun? He could only passively defend himself, forced to admit that he had been completely outmaneuvered.

After a short while, Ouyang Chun retreated again and again.

"Wait," he cried out. "Brat, I have no grievance or enmity with you. Why must you treat me like this?" Ouyang Chun's gaze was sharp as he stared at Lin Yun.

But Lin Yun's eyes were now filled with nothing but killing intent.

[Name]: Ouyang Chun

[Realm]: ???

[Destiny Template]: Son of the Great Dao (Gold)

[Attributes]: Peerless Sword Cultivator (Purple), Sword Dao Supreme (Gold), Broken Sword Heart (Black)

[Fate]: Due to Lin Yun of the Beast Taming Sect, a war between the two great sects is triggered. To prevent Lin Yun from destroying the Flowing Cloud Sect, the Shangqing Temple intervenes, forcing back the experts of the Beast Taming Sect and forcefully suppressing Lin Yun. However, due to the sudden interference of Deng Pengzu, Ouyang Chun succeeds in a sneak attack, but is also killed by Deng Pengzu's dying move, trading a life for a life.

[Recent Turning Point]: An expert from the Shangqing Temple recognizes the Azure Origin Sword Style on Lin Yun and realizes he is the successor of an old friend. Fearing being sought for revenge, he tries to flee, but Lin Yun seizes the opportunity.

If it were just for the Ancient Soul-Returning Wood, Lin Yun would not have pushed things this far. But what he could not accept was that Ouyang Chun would one day kill Deng Pengzu. That man, who was both a master and a friend to him, was his only fond memory of the Flowing Cloud Sect. And a man like that was killed by Ouyang Chun?

If he could eliminate Ouyang Chun here today, then Deng Pengzu would not have to die.

"The monk Jingkong was right," Lin Yun said, his voice cold. "Cause and effect are destined by heaven. Back then, your Sword Heart was broken because of the Azure Origin Sword Style. Today, you will die at the hands of its successor."

Looking at Ouyang Chun's panel, it wasn't hard to guess. This man must have had a significant connection to the previous wielder of the Azure Origin Sword Style. Now that Lin Yun had inherited it, it was a great boon. Since that was the case, it was only right that he help them resolve some of their lingering problems.

"Lin Yun, your… your master and I were very good friends!" Ouyang Chun stammered, backing away and staring at Lin Yun, his shifty eyes darting around. "It wasn't my intention to make a move back then! It was all Gu Xiande! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have had the chance!"

"I don't know what your master told you, but I truly never meant to kill him!"

But how could Lin Yun listen to Ouyang Chun's rambling now? He could now be certain that this man was no better than Gu Xiande. No wonder he had come here personally. The two of them were scoundrels acting in collusion.

"I don't care what shady business you two have. Let it all be buried here."

After speaking, Lin Yun unleashed the Azure Origin Sword Style and gave chase.

At this, Ouyang Chun was thoroughly terrified. He had been dismissive at first, but when Lin Yun completely unshackled his power, Ouyang Chun could no longer remain calm.

It's too similar. Just too similar. Every time he looked at Lin Yun, he felt as if he were back on that rainy night. How could two people in this world be so alike? But right now, Ouyang Chun had no desire to linger on that memory.

The Chongqing Bird began to mock him. "Your luck is really something else, boy. This fellow seems to have some history with your master. Was he so scared that he pissed his pants just from seeing you use this Azure Origin Sword Style?"

"A pity," it added. "I don't seem to recall ever hearing of such a character."

Ezu just snorted with disdain. But for now, neither of them noticed the full extent of the situation.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Chun was fleeing as if his life depended on it. Finally, he reached a stone chamber at the very end of the path. The items here were neatly arranged, just as they had been all those years ago.

Upon arriving, Ouyang Chun stopped. "Brat, why do you pursue me so relentlessly? What is it that you want?"

"A life for a life, a debt to be repaid," Lin Yun said flatly. "Since you wished to stand in my way, I can only eliminate you first."

Ouyang Chun laughed aloud. "I've already explained myself! Do you still not understand? What happened back then had nothing to do with me! It was all Gu Xiande's plot! Even if you seek revenge, you shouldn't be looking for me!" He looked at Lin Yun cautiously. "I came here only to take this Ancient Soul-Returning Wood."

Seeing Ouyang Chun's innocent expression, Lin Yun sneered internally. Still acting? You're still fucking acting?

He had to admit, Ouyang Chun's acting skills were superb. If he couldn't see the life panel, Lin Yun truly might have been at a disadvantage this time.

Beneath the Ancient Soul-Returning Wood, there were many other treasures in this secret chamber. And at this very moment, Ouyang Chun had one of them at his fingertips.

The God-Extinguishing Crossbow!

Once this item was used, Lin Yun would surely die. Of course, while its power was immense, it was also easily blocked. Therefore, Ouyang Chun had to make Lin Yun lower his guard. Only then could he seize the opportunity to kill him.

"What is so special about this Ancient Soul-Returning Wood that you value it so highly?" Lin Yun asked with curiosity.

Ouyang Chun said, "There are many other treasures in this stone chamber. Lin Yun, let's open the skylight and speak plainly today. I have no intention of interfering with the grudge between you and Gu Xiande. As long as you let me leave here, you can take all the other treasures. All I want is this one piece of Ancient Soul-Returning Wood."

Lin Yun frowned. If Ouyang Chun hadn't emphasized it, he might not have paid it much mind. But for this man to value it so highly, could it really be so simple?

"Alright. I'll give you this chance," Lin Yun nodded. If he were to attack now, it would be ineffective. On the contrary, he was very likely to lose the initiative. It was better to lull Ouyang Chun into a false sense of security first.

"First, tell me what else is here." He said this as he slowly approached Ouyang Chun.

Seeing Lin Yun sheathe his sword, Ouyang Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmph. Brat. Too young, in the end. Faced with profit, you so quickly forget that we are enemies.

Having already prepared his trap, Ouyang Chun relaxed his guard. It seemed the successor of the Azure Origin Sword Style was nothing special after all.
