Chapter 297 Perfect Ending (Please continue reading)
At his mountain retreat,
Lin Yan spent an hour mastering the basics of twenty sword techniques related to the Devouring Sword Dao.
Adding to the thirty he had already mastered, Lin Yan now possessed an astonishing total of one hundred and fifty sword techniques.
"This number is truly..."
Lin Yan suddenly had a thought: with his True Qi at the twelfth level, if he were to further enhance his divine soul by cultivating the Undying Mountain Technique, could he break through the limit of one hundred and twenty techniques?
However, upon further reflection, Lin Yan felt this was unlikely.
Thirty techniques per sword pellet—this was a summary by countless swordsmen in the martial arts world, including many exceptionally talented geniuses.
[I hope readers remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, for a great experience: t̑̈̑̈w̑̈̑̈k̑̈̑̈̑̈ȃ̈̑̈n̑̈̑̈.c̑̈̑̈ȏ̈̑̈m̑̈̑̈, super considerate!]
If he could truly break this limit, news would surely spread.
Putting aside everything else, his master was a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, the Heavenly Extreme Realm, already standing at the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Even his master said his swordsmanship limit was one hundred and twenty.
"I can try, but there's no need to get stuck on it."
Lin Yan quickly made his decision. If his sword intent reached one hundred and twenty and could be improved further, then continuing to improve would be best. If one hundred and twenty was already the limit, then there was no need to waste effort cultivating further.
Unless it could bring him significant benefits. He
couldn't be so absolute.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yan internally examined the densely packed martial arts fruits hanging on the gray martial arts tree.
With a thought, a martial arts fruit fell.
Intercepting Mountain and Seizing Flow Sword Technique, begin cultivating!
The scene before him changed; Lin Yan appeared on the bank of a river.
The river flowed turbulently.
In the upstream area, a mountain peak lay across the river, dividing it in two.
Lin Yan carefully observed the river's flow. The water flowed gently and calmly between the mountain peaks, but immediately became turbulent after passing the peaks.
Moreover, at the confluence of the mountain peaks and the river, one could clearly see the water crashing against the rocks, creating backflow and forming whirlpools of varying sizes.
Lin Yan watched for an unknown amount of time.
Sunrise and sunset, the sound of crashing waves against the shore.
Until, Lin Yan drew his sword!
He swung the Abyss Sword, mimicking the movement of the river, extending the blade horizontally.
The sword's momentum was continuous, like the eastward flow of the river, seemingly calm, but concealing undercurrents.
The first strike was merely a form; it captured the form of the river, but lacked the power of a mountain cutting through it.
Lin Yan sheathed his sword, looking back at the river, his gaze falling on the confluence of the mountain and the water.
The water crashed against the rocks, creating a backflow, until it formed a whirlpool, its rotation completely dissipating the force of the flowing water. The "
Severing the Mountain" technique didn't simply sever the mountain, but rather interrupted the enemy's momentum.
The river wasn't blocked by the mountain, but rather "severed" by it, losing its original direction and rhythm.
The power of the sword wasn't in its outburst, but in its disruption.
A glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, and he drew his sword again.
This sword strike, unlike the previous one which merely mimicked the surging of the river, concealed the power of "interception" within the middle of the blade. The initial strike was light and agile, like the flowing river, but as the sword's momentum reached its peak, the blade suddenly sank, as if a mountain had appeared out of nowhere in the river's heart.
"Interception is achieved, but seizing is not enough."
Lin Yan remained calm; he had plenty of time, no rush, he would proceed slowly.
The third sword strike, the fourth sword strike, the fifth sword strike… he swung his sword again and again…
one year, two years…
twenty years later, the Mountain-Intercepting and Flow-Seizing Sword Technique was perfected.
Sensing the additional sword intent within his spatial sword pellet, Lin Yan did not rest, but began comprehending the next sword technique.
Devouring Yuan
Sword Technique, Star-Absorbing Sword Technique… the spatial and offensive sword pellets in Lin Yan's dantian were also constantly growing stronger.
Five, ten, fifteen…
after cultivating twenty-five techniques to perfection, bringing the total sword intent to one hundred and fifteen, Lin Yan could clearly feel that his comprehension speed had slowed, and the cultivation time was increasing.
However, as long as he could continue to comprehend it, even if it took a little longer, or just a few more Martial Dao Fruits, Lin Yan didn't mind.
The 117th quest consumed four Martial Dao Fruits.
The 118th sword intent consumed eight Martial Dao Fruits.
The 119th consumed twelve Martial Dao Fruits.
The 120th consumed twenty Martial Dao Fruits.
The Wedding Dress Sword Technique was complete!
As the final sword intent was perfected, Lin Yan's soul was momentarily dazed. One hundred and twenty sword intents were indeed the limit of his current soul.
Lin Yan closed his eyes and looked inward at his dantian.
In his dantian, three sword pellets floated quietly, one large and two small, filled with sword intent. The
moment he opened his eyes, a glint of light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.
He hadn't forgotten the new function of the Martial Dao Tree after its advancement: when a certain type of martial arts was cultivated to its peak, one could deduce supernatural powers.
With one hundred and twenty sword intents, he had cultivated the sword path to its peak.
Next, he only needed to step into the Dharma Aspect Realm to deduce them.
...
An hour later.
After taking a pill to restore his soul, Lin Yan stood once again in the center of the courtyard.
Please save the only website address for "Deqi Xiaoshuo": www.deqixs.org. This is the only website; other websites may be discontinued at any time. Next, the most crucial step will be fusing the three sword pellets into one. Lin Yan internally examined his dantian
. The large sword pellet in the center,
fused with both natural and strange sword intents, was now quietly suspended in the very center of his dantian. Two beams of light flowed within the sword pellet, while the spatial sword pellet and the killing sword pellet were positioned on either side.
The former was almost transparent, while the latter contained a layer of red light, radiating a sharp aura.
"One by one!"
With the experience of fusing sword pellets last time, Lin Yan began to circulate the Five Elements Unity Technique, guiding the spatial sword pellet closer to the large central sword pellet.
Compared to the killing sword pellet, the spatial sword pellet was relatively more stable and easier to fuse.
Guided by the Five Elements Unity Technique, the true essence began to pull the spatial sword pellet slowly, but when it reached the edge of the large sword pellet, resistance came, and the true essence broke apart.
Faced with the breakage of the true essence responsible for pulling it apart, Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged. He had experienced this scene the first time he fused the natural sword pellet and the strange sword pellet; it was something that could be gradually resolved.
Once, twice…
This time, Lin Yan stood in the courtyard for five days.
Late on the fifth day, the colors of the edges of the large sword pellet and the spatial sword pellet began to assimilate, gradually becoming uniform.
The whole process was very slow, like a snail crawling.
…
When the colors of the edges of the two sword pellets became completely the same…
Boom!
As if the heavens and earth were splitting open, Lin Yan's whole body trembled. The true essence within his body became chaotic at this moment, as if it had been stirred by some mysterious force.
His true essence, his soul…
all experienced a moment of disorientation.
After recovering, only two of the three sword pellets remained within his body.
The large sword pellet and the spatial sword pellet completely fused, forming an even larger sword pellet.
The fusion was successful.
Looking up at the starry night sky, Lin Yan didn't stop. Instead, he continued to guide the fusion of the Killing Sword Pill with his true essence.
This fusion went even more smoothly than the last.
Since that was the case, he would complete it in one go.
...
...
Seven days later, as the first rays of sunlight fell on the mountain peak and onto Lin Yan in the courtyard.
Boom!
A second tremor of the soul.
This tremor far surpassed the previous two, lasting even longer.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when his soul regained its clarity, Lin Yan immediately looked around his body. In his dantian, only one sword pill remained, quietly suspended.
Four sword pills, one hundred and twenty sword intents, fused into one!
Four sword pills, fused into one.
Feeling the rotation of this sword pill, Lin Yan's mind stirred, and his right hand slowly rose, sword light flowing from his fingertips. With a
flick of his fingers, streams of sword intent shot out.
This time, Lin Yan didn't use true essence, but pure sword intent.
Each sword intent condensed into a form, shooting out ten feet before dissipating.
The next moment, Lin Yan activated his罡域 (罡域 is a type of internal energy field), then quickly switched to a 剑域(剑域
is a type of internal energy field). Within the 剑域
, sword intent surged wildly from Lin Yan's entire body, not just from his fingers, but from every part of his body. One hundred and twenty sword intents played a high-pitched melody within the 剑域.
"Sword, come!"
The next moment, Lin Yan shouted softly, and the 沉渊剑 (Chenyuan Sword) flew into his hand, his figure appearing on the edge of the mountain cliff.
Standing on the cliff edge, Lin Yan spun his sword pellet, and one hundred and twenty sword intents condensed on the sword, the 沉渊剑 emitting a crisp sword cry.
沧澜剑术 (Canglan Sword Technique), Nine Waves of Sword Tide, all unleashed in one strike!
The first wave of sword tide crashed into the void of the cliff like a solid object, causing the surrounding air to crackle.
The second wave followed closely behind, faster, heavier, and more powerful than the first, like a giant wave piled on top of another, pushing the previous wave of sword tide forward and crushing it.
The third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave… each wave overlapped, each surged higher, the nine waves of sword energy stacked upon each other, forming a magnificent torrent of sword energy.
This torrent of sword energy stretched across the void, carrying the force to shatter mountains and cleave peaks as it surged into the distance.
Lin Yan squinted, watching the air constantly distort and then collapse…
watching the sword energy break through ten zhang, twenty zhang, thirty zhang… finally reaching fifty zhang before barely dissipating.
"This sword… below the Dharma Aspect level, no one should be able to withstand it!"
Lin Yan withdrew his gaze, only afraid of making too much noise and alerting others; otherwise, if this sword were to strike a mountain peak, he was confident he could flatten its summit.
Next, Lin Yan continued to refine his sword domain.
The sound of music echoed between the cliffs.
…
…
"Is Lin Yan here?"
On the front of the mountain peak, in mid-air, a young man hovered in the air, looking down at the courtyard below and shouting loudly.
He didn't dare to land directly on the mountain peak; the death of his junior brother was a lesson from the past.
He couldn't give Lin Yan an excuse to attack.
"What is it?"
Lin Yan didn't emerge from the courtyard, but instead appeared from behind the mountain peak, stepping through the air.
Upon seeing Lin Yan's figure, the man felt a momentary tremor in his sword heart, unsure what was happening.
What was going on?
He knew Lin Yan was stronger than him.
But why did his sword heart tremble?
Especially the moment Lin Yan appeared, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
This unease wasn't due to Lin Yan's strength or aura; he simply felt restrained.
Shaking his head slightly to dispel the unease, the man looked at Lin Yan and said, "Today is the opening day of the Chengjian Hall. As a senior disciple of the Qijian Hall, you must attend."
"Alright,"
Lin Yan nodded, his attitude very calm.
Seeing Lin Yan's agreement, the man said nothing more and turned to leave.
He had already done what Senior Brother Wei had asked him to do; he didn't want to stay here a moment longer, the longer he stayed, the more uncomfortable he felt.
This feeling was something he had never experienced even when facing Senior Brother Wei or the other half-step Dharma Aspect Realm senior brothers in the Second Branch.
Watching the man's departing figure, Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. He only knew that the opening ceremony of the Chengbing Hall was in the next few days, but he hadn't expected it to be today.
However, it shouldn't be the Qijian Hall that sent someone to inform him; when did it become the Zhengxin Hall's turn to inform him?
After a few moments of thought, Lin Yan smiled.
It seemed that someone was afraid he wouldn't attend the Chengbing Hall's opening ceremony, so they specially arranged for someone to inform him.
As for who this "someone" was, it was obvious.
Wei Xian, a core disciple of the Fifth Branch!
Besides him, there was no one else.
Jiang Ning, one of the core disciples of the first five branches of the Zhengxin Hall, wouldn't go so far as to do that, and even if the other four didn't like him, they wouldn't specifically send someone to inform him.
"Since they're so eager, wouldn't it be ungrateful of me not to go?"
Lin Yan muttered softly, returned to his room, changed into the Qijian Hall disciple's robes, slung the Chenyuan Sword over his shoulder, descended the mountain, and headed towards the Chengbing Hall.
...
...
The Hall of Inherited Weapons.
Unlike the solemn simplicity of the Hall of Enlightened Swords, the plaza of the Hall of Inherited Weapons featured dozens of furnaces burning fiercely.
However, these furnaces were not forging any spiritual weapons; they were purely decorative.
Inside the hall, two middle-aged men stood in the center, with two young men to their left and Ji Rong and Fang Chen to their right.
"Now that everyone from both halls is here, let's begin according to the rules,"
the middle-aged man on the left said with a smile, glancing at the five people present.
"Senior Brother Ji, please wait a moment!"
Wei Xian addressed the middle-aged man, then looked at Ji Rong and Fang Chen.
"What, is Lin Yan afraid to come?"
Having tolerated Lin Yan for months, Wei Xian had long awaited the opening day of the furnaces in the Hall of Inherited Weapons, so he could take action against Lin Yan within the rules.
Ji Rong and Fang Chen exchanged glances upon hearing Wei Xian's words. After discussing it, they decided not to invite Junior Brother Lin.
They had witnessed Junior Brother Lin's strength.
Fang Chen, in particular, knew that Junior Brother Lin had killed a half-step Dharma Aspect Realm expert from Sword Ruins, but he later learned that Wei Xian had also killed a half-step Dharma Aspect Realm expert from Sword Ruins.
In terms of strength, Wei Xian should still be stronger than Junior Brother Lin.
The problem they were worried about was that if Junior Brother Lin fought Wei Xian on the day of the Sword Inheritance Hall's initiation ceremony, it would be fine if he narrowly lost.
If Junior Brother Lin really won against Wei Xian, it would naturally be a great honor for the Sword Initiation Hall, enough to excite all the disciples of the Sword Initiation Hall.
But for Junior Brother Lin, it would probably not be a good thing.
Defeating Wei Xian would be like slapping the face of all the core disciples of the Righteous Heart Hall, and at that time, the other core disciples of the Righteous Heart Hall would definitely not sit still.
In terms of strength, Wei Xian could only be considered average among the core disciples of the Righteous Heart Hall, not the strongest.
After defeating Wei Xian, there was still Shao Lingxiao of the Fourth Branch, Su Guan of the Third Branch, Jiang Ning of the Second Branch, and Pei Wujiu of the First Branch.
Even the core disciples of the latter four branches, who were originally neutral, might not be able to avoid being dissatisfied with Junior Brother Lin.
As core disciples of the Righteous Heart Hall, their fates were intertwined; one's glory was the other's, and one's loss was the other's.
Victory would bring immense trouble.
Even a glorious defeat was still a loss.
Fang Chen and Ji Rong discussed it and decided it was best for Junior Brother Lin not to come.
Even if Junior Brother Lin truly wanted to fight Wei Xian, they could wait until he reached the half-step Dharma Aspect Realm.
"Junior Brother Lin is in seclusion. The two of us are enough for
the Sword Initiation Hall. Isn't the Righteous Heart Hall also short of core disciples?" Ji Rong said calmly. The Sword Initiation Hall's opening ceremony didn't require all core disciples and senior disciples from both halls to be present.
Previously, all three disciples from the Sword Initiation Hall were present because they were somewhat weaker than the Righteous Heart Hall's core disciples, so they compensated with numbers.
Hearing Ji Rong's reply, Wei Xian smiled. He had anticipated that Lin Yan might avoid him and had specifically arranged for someone to notify Lin Yan. If Lin Yan still didn't come…
he had a plan.
If he came, he would severely injure Lin Yan.
If he didn't come, he would ruin Lin Yan's reputation.
Seeing that Wei Xian didn't say anything more, the two middle-aged men from Chengjian Hall were surprised. Had the conflict between the two halls become so acute?
In previous sessions, although the two halls had disagreements, they were mostly about the allocation of places. This time, the allocation hadn't even started, and the atmosphere was already tense.
"Since both of you are here, let's begin the allocation. By order of the Vice Hall Master, we can give five more places this time."
The middle-aged man said with a grin. Hearing this, Ji Rong and Fang Chen smiled. Five more places meant Qijian Hall could get more places.
"Oh, this year they've given fifteen places. It seems Vice Hall Master Zhao knows that our Zhengxin Hall has more new disciples this year than in previous years, and a greater need for spiritual weapons."
However, before Ji Rong and Fang Chen's smiles could fade, Wei Xian said calmly, "This time, our Zhengxin Hall has calculated that we need thirteen places."
Thirteen places.
Upon hearing Wei Xian's words, Ji Rong and Fang Chen's expressions instantly stiffened.
In previous years, the Qijian Hall could get three out of ten spots, which was considered the bare minimum.
This time, there were fifteen slots, and Zhengxin Hall actually wanted to take thirteen of them, leaving only two for Qijian Hall.
Fang Chen felt a surge of anger. Ji Rong reached out and grabbed Fang Chen's arm, looking at Wei Xian: "This is probably inappropriate. In previous years, Qijian Hall had three slots. This year there are five more, so it's not unreasonable for Qijian Hall to ask for five slots."
"Hmph, previous years were just a fig leaf for Qijian Hall—free slots for forging spiritual weapons. There was never a rule that Qijian Hall had to have three. This time, Zhengxin Hall's demand is high, and leaving two slots is already giving you both face. If you're not satisfied, then let's follow the rules."
Follow the rules!
That meant taking action!
"Since Junior Brother Wei is so confident in his strength, then I can only ask for your guidance."
This time, even Ji Rong couldn't hold back.
If Qijian Hall only got two out of fifteen slots, when the news got back, Qijian Hall would completely lose face.
Most importantly, Junior Brother Lin didn't come this time, and there will likely be all sorts of gossip circulating.
Wei Xian did this on purpose.
He wants to damage Lin Yan's reputation among the Qijian Hall disciples in this way.
"Let's go!"
Wei Xian snorted and strode towards the exit of the main hall. But just as he took his first step, a figure appeared at the entrance and then stepped inside.

Chapter 298 Smash It All (Please Read On)
The people in the main hall immediately looked at the figure standing at the door.
"Junior Brother Lin!"
Ji Rong and Fang Chen spoke up immediately, both with a look of doubt in their eyes. Why was Junior Brother Lin here?
"Senior Brother Ji, Senior Brother Fang, the day of the furnace opening has begun, and you didn't even inform me. Even if I were to go into seclusion, this concerns the interests of the Qijian Hall, so I have to make time." Lin Yan
said with
a smile. He knew that Senior Brother Ji and Senior Brother Fang hadn't informed him, and given Wei Xian's personality, he would definitely question them. He could guess that his two senior brothers would give this explanation. They
would definitely use his seclusion as an excuse to respond to Wei Xian's questioning.
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Ji Rong and Fang Chen smiled wryly. Junior Brother Lin was truly clever, having guessed their thoughts.
Since that was the case, then they would leave the rest to Junior Brother Lin. What they had to do was unconditionally support him.
"Are you going into seclusion again, or should I send someone to inform you? You can't keep hiding anymore?"
Wei Xian's mocking voice rang out. Lin Yan glanced at Wei Xian, already guessing that the disciple from the Zhengxin Hall was acting on Wei Xian's orders.
However, Lin Yan ignored Wei Xian and instead looked at the two middle-aged men from the Chengjian Hall at the top, cupping his fists and saying, "Senior brothers, how many slots are available for forging spiritual weapons this time?"
"Fifteen."
This time, it was Tao Sheng, standing on the right, who answered.
Tao Sheng looked at Lin Yan with a smile. The disciples of the Chengjian Hall were completely focused on forging and refining weapons, though... they weren't entirely neglecting their martial arts cultivation.
The disciples of the Chengjian Hall paid more attention to the Zhengxin Hall and Qijian Hall during the triennial sect-wide competition.
But he was different; he usually paid more attention to the other two halls and had heard a lot about Lin Yan's rising fame in the Qijian Hall over the past year.
He hadn't expected to actually see him now.
"Fifteen slots?"
Wasn't it supposed to be ten?
Lin Yan's gaze met Ji Rong and Fang Chen's, and he also received Ji Rong's telepathic message.
"Junior Brother Lin, there were always ten in previous years, but this time the Chengjian Hall has given us five more spots. In previous years, our Qijian Hall took three spots, but this time there are five more, so we can get four or five spots proportionally."
Four is the bottom line, five is the same as in previous years.
Hearing Senior Brother Ji's telepathic message, Lin Yan's lips twitched slightly.
The number of spots was barely enough to save face; three senior disciples, only three spots.
"Lin Yan, don't even think about it. This time, my Zhengxin Hall will take thirteen spots, and your Qijian Hall will only get two."
Seeing Lin Yan's silence, Wei Xian spoke again: "If you're not satisfied, then follow the rules."
"Follow the rules?"
Lin Yan looked at Wei Xian, his face full of doubt: "Are you sure you can represent Zhengxin Hall? After all, Zhengxin Hall has nine branches, and you're just a core disciple of five branches."
After speaking, Lin Yan looked at Ji Rong and Fang Chen: "Senior Brother Ji, Senior Brother Fang, can I represent Qijian Hall?"
"Of course you can."
"Junior Brother Lin, you are a senior disciple of my Qijian Hall, so you are naturally qualified to represent Qijian Hall. Whatever decision you make, Senior Brother Ji and I agree."
Fang Chen spoke up immediately, in his opinion that Junior Brother Lin said this to verbally retaliate against Wei Xian.
"You, Wei Xian, cannot represent the entire Zhengxin Hall, but Junior Brother Lin can represent the entire Qijian Hall.
" "You can represent Qijian Hall, so naturally I can represent Zhengxin Hall."
"Is that so?"
Lin Yan's face still held a hint of doubt, even his tone was questioning. Wei Xian took a deep breath, calming himself down, and looked at the man beside him: "Junior Brother Miao, can I represent Zhengxin Hall in making this decision?" "
This time, Zhengxin Hall sent Senior Brother Wei and me to negotiate, so Senior Brother Wei can naturally represent Zhengxin Hall."
Miao Feng smiled and spoke. He was a core disciple of the Eighth Vein, which, like Chengjian Hall, was neutral, but he had a good personal relationship with Wei Xian.
Before coming to Chengjian Hall, he had made an agreement with Wei Xian to entrust the entire matter to him.
"Lin Yan, did you hear that? Do you have any more excuses now?"
"No more."
Lin Yan answered quickly, which surprised Wei Xian. He thought Lin Yan was going to find another excuse.
However, this is even better. Getting rid of Lin Yan sooner will allow me to vent the anger that has been building up inside me.
"In that case, let's go."
Wei Xian strode towards the exit of the main hall, with Miao Feng following behind, his hands behind his back. As he passed Lin Yan, Miao Feng sighed softly, "Junior Brother Lin, let me offer some advice: sometimes admitting defeat isn't shameful. On the path of martial arts, who dares claim to be invincible?"
Hearing Miao Feng's words, Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."
Seeing Lin Yan's reaction, Miao Feng said nothing more. He had only said that because he felt Qi Jian Hall had produced a promising disciple and didn't want to see Lin Yan suffer the wrath of the five major sects of Zheng Xin Hall.
However, if they didn't appreciate his words, then so be it.
"Junior Brother Lin,"
Ji Rong and Fang Chen also stepped forward. Lin Yan shook his head slightly, "Senior Brothers, there's no need to say anything more. I know what I'm doing and won't risk my martial arts future." Lin Yan
understood what Senior Brothers Ji and Fang were going to say and didn't need to repeat himself.
"It's good that Junior Brother Lin understands. Wei Xian is already at the half-step Dharma Aspect Realm and has refined the Taiyi True Qi. If Wei Xian uses the Taiyi True Qi, Junior Brother Lin can end the battle. After all, you haven't reached the half-step Dharma Aspect Realm, so Wei Xian is bullying the weak."
Ji Rong transmitted his voice to Lin Yan. Lin Yan was taken aback. Seeing the calculation on Senior Brother Ji's face, he knew what Senior Brother Ji was going to do.
As long as Wei Xian used the Tai Xuan True Qi, then ending the battle wouldn't count as a loss.
Anyway,
there would be room for debate later. The Zhengxin Hall would definitely say that he lost, while the Qijian Hall would seize on Wei Xian's use of the Tai Xuan True Qi and bullying the weak to refute him.
If Senior Brother Ji were in his previous life, he would be a talent for online battles.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. If I'm wrong, I'll do as you say."
Receiving Lin Yan's words, Ji Rong was relieved.
This is the safest way. This way, Junior Brother Lin can be prevented from getting hurt. Even if things escalate, we can stick to the point that Junior Brother Lin has only been in the Sword Sect for a year, and the Zhengxin Hall should send a disciple who has only been in the sect for a year…
(Please note the only website address for this novel: www.deqixs.org. This is the only website; other websites may stop updating at any time.) However, this is a bit too
unscrupulous. Even if
you search back ten years, you won't find anyone in the Zhengxin Hall who has only been in the sect for a year and is already at the twelfth level of the True Qi Realm.
Ji Rong shook his head. He couldn't say that. So, he'd have the Zhengxin Hall send a disciple at the twelfth level of the True Qi Realm, at the same level as Junior Brother Lin.
…
…
Outside the main hall.
Wei Xian stood in the center of the plaza, hands behind his back, watching Lin Yan and the other two walk out of the main hall. He sneered repeatedly, "I thought you were going to linger inside."
Lin Yan glanced at Wei Xian but didn't reply. He simply strode towards the center of the plaza, stopping only when he was ten zhang away from Wei Xian.
Ji Rong, Fang Chen, Miao Feng, and Tao Sheng all stood below the entrance to the main hall, none of them stepping into the center of the plaza.
Seeing that Lin Yan didn't respond, Wei Xian said nothing more. Last time at the mountain gate, Lin Yan's acceptance of the Sky-Illuminating Sword Finger was a humiliation to him.
This time, he would defeat Lin Yan with the Sky-Illuminating Sword Finger. He
slowly raised his right hand, forming a sword shape with his fingers. Sword energy began to condense at the tip of Wei Xian's finger, this time much more concentrated than before at the mountain gate.
"Lin Yan, you managed to withstand one of my fingers last time, but this time I'll see if you can!"
As a half-step Dharma Aspect expert, it's easy to be criticized for striking first, but Wei Xian couldn't care less. He had suppressed his anger towards Lin Yan for months and was no longer willing to tolerate it.
Illuminating Sword Finger!
Three-finger combo!
This time, he held nothing back except for his Taiyi True Qi.
The instant Wei Xian's sword energy shot out, Lin Yan moved. He used the Smoke Step, his figure drifting out like a ghost. The three sword fingers were easily dodged as if threading a needle, instantly arriving within a zhang of Wei Xian.
This scene made Miao Feng frown slightly. Lin Yan's movement speed was incredibly fast!
However, at lower realms, speed was still useful, allowing one to attack the opponent's weak points and catch them off guard. But at their level, like his senior brother Wei, the advantage of speed was useless.
Without sufficient strength, even a sneak attack would be difficult to break through the True Qi defense.
Miao Feng's thoughts were exactly what Wei Xian was thinking at that moment.
Although he was somewhat surprised that Lin Yan had dodged his sword finger, a cold smile appeared on Wei Xian's face when he saw Lin Yan still dare to rush over.
Approaching him, who possessed a sword heart, and especially noticing Lin Yan's current expansion of his domain, Wei Xian's cold smile turned into mockery:
"Lin Yan, who gave you the courage to approach a sword heart expert and unleash a sword domain in front of him? It's simply showing off your limited skills..."
However, Wei Xian's expression changed before he could finish his sentence.
At the moment he was enveloped by Lin Yan's sword domain, he wasn't worried; he could simply unleash his own sword domain to counter Lin Yan. But what Wei Xian hadn't expected was that his true essence couldn't leave his body.
Or more accurately, the moment it left his body, it was forced back by an even stronger energy.
"How...?"
Familiar lines, spoken by different people.
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed; he had heard these words far too many times.
Villains all had villainous traits, even their words were the same.
"Can't you be a little more original?"
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Wei Xian was stunned for a moment, because he didn't understand what Lin Yan meant.
But the next moment, Wei Xian's pupils shrank, and Lin Yan's figure disappeared in front of him.
Bang!
The sharp pain from his left shoulder made Wei Xian stagger, but before he could figure out what had happened, a sharp pain followed from his arm.
Bang, bang, bang!
Using his sword domain to suppress the danger, Lin Yan used the Nine Strikes Offensive Technique, each punch and each palm strike landing on Wei Xian's body.
Beside them, Miao Feng and the others below the palace steps all stared wide-eyed at the scene in the center of the square with incredulous expressions.
Lin Yan was actually beating Wei Xian up.
A half-step Dharma Aspect martial artist being beaten by a True Qi 12th level?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it?
Tao Sheng and his companions were equally dumbfounded. Tao Sheng had heard of Lin Yan's name and knew that Lin Yan was the most talented disciple of Qijian Hall in the past hundred years. However, talent only represents potential, not that one can suppress a half-step Dharma Aspect martial artist at the twelfth level of True Qi.
Only Ji Rong and Fang Chen's expressions were slightly less exaggerated, because they knew that Junior Brother Lin had a history of killing a half-step Dharma Aspect martial artist.
Compared to the previous incident, the shock of the two was more due to the visual impact of the scene before them.
"Junior Brother Fang, was Junior Brother Lin's killing of that half-step Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist in Sword Ruins like this last time?"
Ji Rong couldn't help but ask Fang Chen.
"Senior Brother Ji, Junior Brother Lin told me to leave first, so I didn't see how he killed the half-step Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist."
The two voices weren't loud, but Miao Feng heard them clearly and immediately looked over: "Lin Yan killed a half-step Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist?"
"Yes, Junior Brother Lin killed a half-step Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist in Sword Ruins."
Fang Chen didn't hide anything and gave Miao Feng a direct confirmation.
Because of the significant losses suffered by the Sword Sect in the last operation, everyone was reluctant to discuss the operation to annihilate the Sword Ruins martial artists.
As for the sect's rewards, they hadn't been distributed yet.
"He killed a half-step Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist; no wonder he was able to suppress Senior Brother Wei."
Miao Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at the plaza. It seemed that if Senior Brother Wei didn't use his Tai Xuan True Qi, his chances of winning would be very slim.
But using Tai Xuan True Qi against Lin Yan, who was only at the twelfth level of True Qi, even if he won, it would be an unfair victory.
In this battle, regardless of the outcome, Senior Brother Wei had lost face.
At this moment, the commotion in the plaza also attracted the attention of many passing Chengjian Hall disciples. Many disciples walked over, and when they saw the battle in the plaza, they were all dumbfounded.
They recognized Wei Xian, the core disciple of the Fifth Branch, but who was this fierce person who was beating Wei Xian so badly?
Was there an internal war within the Zhengxin Hall?
"This guy... judging from his clothes, he's a disciple of Qijian Hall, right?"
"What a joke, a disciple of Qijian Hall can overpower a core disciple of Zhengxin Hall?"
Someone whispered, and someone immediately retorted, but after retorting, when they saw Lin Yan's clothes clearly, the retorters fell silent.
The difference in clothing between disciples of Zhengxin Hall and Qijian Hall was quite obvious.
"Today is the day of the furnace opening, and also the day Zhengxin Hall and Qijian Hall divide those ten spots. It seems that Zhengxin Hall and Qijian Hall couldn't reach an agreement and chose to decide the spot allocation through a battle."
Some older disciples of Chengjian Hall quickly guessed what was going on.
Just as these newly arrived disciples of Chengjian Hall were discussing, at this moment, Lin Yan punched Wei Xian directly in the chest!
Pfft!
Wei Xian's body flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, which landed in a furnace, and surprisingly, it acted like a fuel, causing the flames in the furnace to flare up even more.
Hiss!
The disciples of Chengjian Hall at the scene gasped when they saw this.
Especially when he saw Wei Xian crash into a furnace before stopping, he was filled with disbelief.
"I concede!"
Lin Yan looked at Wei Xian and didn't continue to attack.
Miao Feng, who was below the steps, shook his head slightly when he saw this scene. Senior Brother Wei had lost.
Even if he still had the strength to fight
, it was useless. A dignified half-step Dharma Aspect Realm warrior was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by a True Qi Twelfth Level warrior. He had lost as much as he could.
"Junior Brother Lin is truly amazing."
Ji Rong smiled and was also amazed. Hearing from Junior Brother Fang that Junior Brother Lin had killed a half-step Dharma Aspect Realm warrior was completely different from seeing it with his own eyes.
"Qijian Hall has produced an extraordinary disciple this time."
Tao Sheng and his companion exchanged glances, knowing that their companion thought the same thing.
Lin Yan didn't look at Wei Xian anymore, but turned and walked towards the palace.
One step, two steps, three steps.
"Be careful!"
When Lin Yan took the third step, Miao Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly warned him.
On the scene, he was the only second person at the half-step Dharma Aspect Realm. The moment he saw Wei Xian stand up and his aura surge, he knew what Senior Brother Wei was about to do.
This "Be careful!" was a warning to Lin Yan, and also a subconscious outburst.
At this moment, Wei Xian's eyes were bloodshot, and his aura instantly surged to its peak. A golden energy surged from his body, quickly condensing into a golden longsword, and a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted.
"I...haven't lost yet!"
Wei Xian's voice was hoarse, but as his words fell, the golden longsword slashed down towards Lin Yan.
"Taiyi True Qi, Junior Brother Lin, be careful!"
Ji Rong's expression also changed drastically, almost shouting, and at the same time, his figure rushed forward. At the same time, Fang Chen followed closely behind. Wei Xian had used Taiyi True Qi, and they were afraid that Lin Yan couldn't withstand this sword strike.
However, before the two of them reached Lin Yan, they saw Lin Yan's figure disappear from the spot.
"I've been waiting for your unwillingness to give up."
No one saw that almost the instant Miao Feng spoke his warning, Lin Yan's lips curled into a fleeting smile.
Knocking Wei Xian away and turning back were all part of his plan.
He couldn't simply kill Wei Xian; otherwise… it would completely ignite the conflict between the Fifth Branch, and possibly even the entire Zhengxin Hall and Qijian Hall.
To kill directly during a sparring match would cause resentment among the disciples of the last four branches of Zhengxin Hall.
Even if he didn't care, he had to consider the entire Qijian Hall.
To kill Wei Xian, he needed a legitimate reason. He
needed to force Wei Xian to have the intention to kill first.
This wasn't difficult.
Given Wei Xian's temperament, he would never admit defeat so easily, and Wei Xian's only chance to turn the tables now was to use the Tai Xuan True Qi.
Using the Tai Xuan True Qi and attacking from behind—this meant Wei Xian had the intention to kill first.
Lin Yan was only retaliating out of self-preservation!
Therefore, the moment Wei Xian mobilized his Taiyi True Qi, Lin Yan's entire body's True Essence was pushed to its limit. Almost the instant Wei Xian's Taiyi True Qi transformed into a longsword and slashed out, Lin Yan's figure vanished from the spot.
He didn't intend to meet Wei Xian's sword strike head-on; he could take it, but there was no need. With
his Stepping Smoke Step at the thirteenth level of True Qi, and fueled by the power of the Dragon and Elephant, Lin Yan's speed reached its peak, even... a fraction faster than the golden longsword. He almost grazed the golden longsword before appearing before Wei Xian. He
unleashed a punch.
This punch, condensed with the power of the Dragon and Elephant, slammed down fiercely before Wei Xian's incredulous eyes.
The Taiyi True Qi that Wei Xian had hastily gathered on his body crumbled and dissipated instantly upon facing Lin Yan's punch.
Bang!
Two explosions resounded simultaneously!
One sound was the crackling of a golden sword striking a furnace, causing it to explode.
Another was the sound of Wei Xian's bones exploding.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye; many disciples of the Chengjian Hall were completely bewildered, their eyes filled with confusion.
The entire Chengjian Hall plaza was deathly silent.
