Chapter 451: Brother Duan!
Suppressing these thoughts, Li Yun began focusing on tempering the gourd.
Gradually, his connection with the Sword-Nurturing Gourd became stronger. In only half a day, the power he could draw from the ten Violet Shadow Swords through the gourd had increased by a clear margin.
At this point, if he used the Soul Sword Control Art together with the Sword-Nurturing Gourd, its power would surpass the Thunderflame Gale Sword Art in ordinary use. However, if the Thunderflame Gale Sword Art was unleashed with the combined power of Flame Intent, Lightning Intent, and Wind Intent, it would still remain stronger.
"What is going on? The things Brother Duan left here were actually thrown out?"
At that moment, a voice filled with shock and anger suddenly rang out from outside.
Immediately afterward, the door to Li Yun’s room was kicked open violently, and a thin young man barged inside.
When he saw Li Yun sitting in the room, the thin young man’s gaze instantly turned cold. He said in a chilling voice, "So you are the newcomer assigned to our courtyard? You have quite some nerve. Do you know that the things you just threw out belong to Brother Duan?"
"Who is Brother Duan?"
Li Yun opened his eyes and glanced calmly at the thin young man who had suddenly intruded.
"Brother Duan is naturally the boss of this courtyard."
The thin young man looked at Li Yun with a sneer. "New kid, Brother Duan hates it most when others touch his belongings. If you move those things back right now and kneel outside Brother Duan’s door to apologize, you might still have a chance to gain his forgiveness. Otherwise, you are dead."
"Is that so?"
Li Yun’s voice remained indifferent. "And what if I refuse?"
"Refuse?"
The thin young man seemed to have heard an enormous joke. He laughed arrogantly and said, "Kid, do you know that Brother Duan is a 6th level Mortal Core Realm expert who is only one step away from the 7th level of the Mortal Core Realm? As for you, you are merely at the 6th level of the Essence Qi Realm. Although I do not know how trash like you managed to sneak into the Outer Sect, you actually dare to say no to Brother Duan?"
"Fine. There is no need to wait for Brother Duan to deal with you. I will act first and teach an ungrateful piece of trash like you a lesson."
"Kneel down."
The thin young man shouted and threw out a punch.
Although his body was thin, the power behind his punch was not weak. It forcefully created an explosive sound in the air as the fierce fist smashed straight toward Li Yun’s chest.
"You overestimate yourself."
Li Yun gave the thin young man a cold look.
This person was only at the 3rd level of the Mortal Core Realm, yet he dared to attack him directly. In Li Yun’s eyes, that was no different from seeking death.
Li Yun reached out and grabbed. Surging chaos qi whistled toward his palm and quickly condensed into a thirty-meter-long chaos qi sword. He gripped the sword and casually swung it.
Bang!
The thin young man’s punch was crushed directly by the chaos qi sword.
Not only that, but the violent force sent his entire body flying backward. He crashed more than ten meters away, landing heavily on the ground.
"How is this possible?"
The thin young man’s expression turned extremely ugly, and he could hardly believe what had just happened.
He was a dignified 3rd level Mortal Core Realm cultivator, yet he had been defeated so casually by someone at the 6th level of the Essence Qi Realm.
This was something he simply could not accept.
"What is all this noise about?"
At that moment, an angry shout suddenly rang out from within the courtyard.
Immediately afterward, the door of Room 1 opened by itself, though there was no wind blowing through the area. A burly young man with a scar across his face walked out and appeared before Li Yun and the thin young man.
"Brother Duan, you are finally out."
When the thin young man saw the scar-faced youth, he immediately looked overjoyed and hurriedly rushed forward. "Brother Duan, this kid is a newcomer. The moment he moved in, he threw out all the things you left in that room. I tried to teach him a lesson on your behalf, but not only did he refuse to listen, he even beat me into this state. Brother Duan, you must seek justice for me."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hearing this, the scar-faced youth’s gaze instantly turned cold. His eyes fell on Li Yun like a sharpened blade as he said in a chilling voice, "Kid, you have quite some nerve. Since you are a newcomer, I will give you one chance. Kneel before me right now. If you kneel for a full day and night, I can spare your life. Otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless."
"Is that so?"
Li Yun glanced at the scar-faced youth and said indifferently, "Then I would like to see exactly how you plan to be ruthless with me."
Although this scar-faced youth had reached the 6th level of the Mortal Core Realm, his strength was still inferior to Crown Prince Xing Tian’s. Since Li Yun had even defeated Crown Prince Xing Tian, why would he care about someone like this?
"How bold."
The scar-faced youth’s expression became ugly.
Ever since he had seized the position of courtyard boss, no one in this courtyard had dared to provoke him so openly.
At the same time, the thin young man and the two cultivators who had just walked out of Rooms 2 and 3 all looked at Li Yun with gloating expressions.
They understood very well how domineering and cruel the scar-faced youth was. In the past, there had also been newcomers who had provoked him in this manner, but their final fate had been miserable. Some had been beaten half to death, while others had been crippled so badly that they never dared to appear before him again.
"Die."
The scar-faced youth shouted loudly.
A large blade more than two meters long appeared in his hand. The blade was covered in dark bloodstains, and the moment he swung it, a pungent smell of blood spread through the courtyard. It was as though a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had surged into existence behind him.
A sharp blade light tore through the air and slashed toward Li Yun with overwhelming momentum.
