94: Chapter 94 The Soaring Sky Sword Technique, The True Face of Night

The night wind howled; the night in the entire capital was left with only the gentle sound of the wind.

After about a few minutes passed.

Chen Ran slowly opened his eyes, and the memories in his mind faded rapidly.

"Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Melody, a very interesting martial art."

This ultimate technique of the Demon Sound Sect was different from traditional martial arts in both its Cultivation Technique and its effects.

Unlike ordinary martial arts that require polishing blood and Qi, and training True Qi.

This Demon Sound True Art, however, walked a very rare path.

It achieved different effects by tempering the throat bone, allowing it to accept True Qi.

Even for an ordinary Martial Artist, no matter how deep their Realm, as long as they Cultivate this Cultivation Technique.

They could achieve sound-induced illusions and disrupt people's minds.

Even to the point where they could draw souls into sound, devouring souls and eroding spirits.

Such an impossible-to-guard-against method, no wonder it became a Demonic Technique.

Chen Ran saw that those few people were still stunned on the spot and spoke indifferently.

"What are you still doing here?"

His voice was calm; although it sounded the same as before, it faintly resonated with the wind around him.

It appeared even more unfathomable, like the tolling of a bell ringing in everyone's hearts.

The crowd only then woke up in shock and hurriedly spoke:

"We saw that Senior had some realization, so we did not dare to disturb."

"Oh, then you may leave."

Chen Ran saw this, casually dismissed the few people, and made a move to leave.

Among the crowd, an older, middle-aged man with tied-up hair thought for a moment and spoke.

"May I ask for Senior's name? You helped a lot tonight; after this is over, we will surely have a generous reward."

"Name?"

Chen Ran's voice paused, the surrounding atmosphere instantly went quiet, and he sized up the constable before him.

"You want to know this seat's name?"

While speaking, he carried the lingering echo of his Cultivation Technique.

This voice, in everyone's hearts, was no different from a sudden clap of thunder.

Song Chen's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and his body was frantically sending out alarms.

If the answer was not satisfactory, he feared that he...

The scene was extremely oppressive, but suddenly, that mysterious Saber Master seemed to sense something and made a move to leave.

"Stop!"

A cold, clear voice came from afar.

A young woman with eyebrows like distant mountains containing sharpness and eyes like clear, cold stars flew over rapidly with her steps.

"It is Constable Lin."

"Why did she come?"

The crowd was first startled, then after seeing the person's appearance clearly, they relaxed.

However, soon they discovered something unusual; Lin Wan's state at this moment was not right.

She was seething with anger, her True Qi surging forward like a cloud of mist, and she actually headed straight for that mysterious Saber Master.

"Constable Lin, is there some misunderstanding?"

Before they could react, Lin Wan had already flicked the long sword in her hand forward, carving out a gleam of Sword Qi as she stabbed at the person opposite.

Chen Ran was helpless and had no choice but to draw the black meteorite long saber from his waist.

Hum!

The saber and sword collided, stuck in a stalemate.

Lin Wan saw that familiar black saber, and her eyes narrowed.

"It really is you!"

If she had only been suspicious before, then after seeing this iconic weapon, she could be certain that the person in front of her was the mysterious person she encountered that night.

Chen Ran saw the woman in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"What a coincidence."

Regarding this Young Miss of the capital, he had only recently learned how terrifying the forces behind Lin Wan were.

As the Young Miss of the Lin family, one of the four great clans of the capital.

Her family background was illustrious, and her status was noble.

Yet Lin Wan did not follow the Demon Suppression Division system; instead, she chose to join the Six Doors herself, becoming a constable.

In the capital, this could be considered a strange affair.

Chen Ran had no intention of staying long; he swung his saber, flicking the opponent's long sword outward.

He activated Cloud Water Step, and his figure sped off into the distance.

Bang!

Lin Wan felt a massive force rushing toward her.

Her entire figure paused in mid-air, flew backward, and finally, she stabbed her long sword downward, sliding several meters before she gradually stopped.

"Don't you dare leave just like that."

Watching the man in the bamboo hat about to escape again, Lin Wan held her sword upward, her True Qi moving along a specific route.

A cold, eerie light shimmered on the tip of the sword, and a terrifying Aura emanated from her body.

This commotion shocked the surrounding constables, leaving them with strange expressions.

This was not some minor movement, but a genuine display of seriousness.

Could it be that there was a connection between this famous constable of the capital and that mysterious Saber Master?

The crowd was shocked and uncertain, and they dared not try to interfere in the battle between the two.

Lin Wan held the sword in one hand, using the fingers of her other hand to slide forward along the blade.

"Lingxiao Sword Art!"

Boom!

Under the stimulation of True Qi, dozens of Sword Qi erupted from the blade, tearing through the air and heading straight forward.

Chen Ran blocked with his black saber in front of him. Before he could make any further moves, he saw those dozens of Sword Qi split in mid-air, turning into hundreds of Sword Qi.

The moment it made contact, Chen Ran's expression changed slightly.

This power... this commotion.

This was absolutely not a Sixth-Realm Martial Artist.

"No, she had a Breakthrough to the Fifth Realm?"

Caught off guard, Chen Ran was forced back several steps by the sudden Sword Qi.

The aftermath of the Sword Qi rushed onto his body.

A metallic clang rang out; a golden light faintly flashed on his body, and his formidable physical constitution negated all that Sword Qi.

But the items around him were not so lucky.

Especially the bamboo hat on his head, which was originally just an item taken from a roadside stall and was not made of any precious Materials.

Naturally, the bamboo hat could not withstand this onslaught.

Rip.

The bamboo hat on his head instantly shattered, splitting into countless fragments.

Lin Wan saw this scene, her eyes widened, and she stared at this scene very excitedly.

Finally, she could see this person's true face.

Soon, she was stunned.

Under the moonlight, a handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes appeared in her line of sight.

However, the man quickly realized he was exposed. He instantly turned his saber, covering his face, and disappeared from her line of sight in the blink of an eye.

Leaving behind a stunned Lin Wan.

This process seemed slow, but in terms of time, it actually happened in an instant.

Everything was too fast; she hadn't even had time to see the details clearly.

She had just seen Lin Wan unleash her sword technique, and the opponent had quickly retreated after taking the blow head-on.

"Constable Lin, what on earth happened?"

"Yeah, why did you suddenly attack him? Does he have some kind of identity?"

Lin Wan landed slowly, her whole person dazed, still lingering in the scene from just moments ago.

Others had not seen the specific situation, but she herself had seen the whole picture.

Based on her previous impression of this person's voice,

Lin Wan had originally thought the opponent would be a weathered uncle or a steady young man, but she had never expected the true face of this person.

It was actually a face that looked about the same age as her, such a young face.

"Could this be his true face..."

Lin Wan muttered to herself; she did not know if she felt disappointed or excited in her heart.

The person opposite was completely different from the face she had imagined,

but after seeing that young face,

her heart still carried a trace of imperceptible joy.

Perhaps it was because the two had once had intimate physical contact, she always subconsciously held fantasies about him.

Now that she had seen his true face, a heavy stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

"Constable Lin, Constable Lin, are you okay?"

"I am fine, what is it?"

"Nothing, we just saw that your state was a bit off, and also, why did you suddenly attack?"

Seeing the curious gazes of many colleagues, Lin Wan realized she had been too uncomposed just now.

Seeing that everyone was already discussing whether to issue a wanted warrant to bring Chen Ran to justice.

Lin Wan's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly; although she wanted to catch that person opposite, it was not by such means.

Moreover, if a wanted warrant were really issued, the nature of things would change.

Although the things the other party did were not compliant, he had not attempted to subvert the imperial court's laws.

"He can only be caught by my own hands..."

Thinking of this, Lin Wan coughed lightly and sheathed her sword.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her.

Lin Wan was a bit embarrassed and stammered an explanation:

"I am an old acquaintance of that person; we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we just sparred a little. Everyone, don't be excited."
