Sword Soulless was absolutely confident that he could defeat Lin Xuan.
The next mont, he made his move. He slashed his sword forward, unleashing the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique. With that single slash, the wind and clouds seed to surge around them.
When the surrounding disciples felt this power, they all cried out in alarm. The new disciples in particular felt their scalps tingle.
"Is that the Wind and Cloud Sword? It’s terrifying!"
Lin Xuan’s expression darkened as he thrust his palm forward.
Ba Huang Palm.
This palm strike, capable of sweeping across all eight directions, instantly collided with the opposing Sword Qi. With a loud bang, Lin Xuan was knocked back.
He stumbled back five consecutive steps before coming to a stop, his arm trembling slightly.
What a terrifying sword technique! Lin Xuan was astonished.
"He was knocked back! Lin Xuan was knocked back!" the crowd gasped.
"Ha! That kid is finally going to lose!" Sun Hao and Wu Ming were ecstatic.
He must have reached his limit, thought Zhang Yang and Zhao Jie.
"Hmph. I knew you were no match for him," Zhao Feiyan snorted coldly.
"Hahahaha! Ling Fengzi, it looks like you’ve lost this bet!" Elder Feng was in high spirits. Lin Xuan was suppressed in the very first exchange. He probably won’t even last ten moves. He might lose in just three to five!
"Lin Xuan, you mustn’t be reckless," Feng Qingxue said, watching nervously.
"Hahahaha! You’re no match for !" Sword Soulless laughed. "Your Ba Huang Palm is useless against my swordsmanship."
"Kid, this battle is over."
Sword Soulless slashed out again. This ti, Lin Xuan t the attack with both palms, blocking the Sword Qi.
Sword Soulless snorted coldly. "There’s no need to persist. It’s futile."
With that, he slashed several more tis, finally forcing Lin Xuan back once again.
This ti, Lin Xuan retreated ten steps, ending up at the very edge of the arena.
He frowned. Such a powerful sword technique. My Ba Huang Palm is no match for it.
Of course, this didn’t an Lin Xuan himself was defeated—only that his Ba Huang Palm had been. He still had many tricks up his sleeve.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "The Wind and Cloud Sword Technique is indeed strong!"
"As it happens, I have also practiced a sword technique. Perhaps Senior Brother could offer so pointers."
After speaking, Lin Xuan waved his hand, and a longsword appeared in his grasp. A biting Sword Qi erged from it, strange and incredibly elusive.
When the people around saw this, they were stunned. Is Lin Xuan going to use Swordsmanship?
The second-year disciples frowned; they had never seen Lin Xuan use Swordsmanship before. The first-year students, however, exclaid in recognition. Lin Xuan has perfected the White Cloud Sword Technique! He must be planning to use that!
Lin Xuan had used the White Cloud Sword Technique at the Perfection Realm when he fought Zhang Yang before.
The second-year disciples were taken aback, not expecting Lin Xuan’s Swordsmanship to be so strong. But so what?
Zhao Feiyan shook her head and sneered. "The White Cloud Sword Technique is rely a Yellow-rank sword technique. Even if he’s perfected it, it’s no match for the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique. And that’s not even ntioning Sword Soulless, who has cultivated the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique to the Great Success Realm."
"If that kid uses the Ba Huang Palm, he might resist a few moves. But if he uses the White Cloud Sword Technique, he’ll be defeated in a single blow."
The others nodded in agreent, thinking the sa thing.
On the arena, Sword Soulless also frowned. White Cloud Sword Technique? Does he think that paltry technique can contend with ? Ridiculous!
"Kid, you’re too foolish."
Faced with their skepticism, Lin Xuan rely gave a slight smile. He waved his other hand, and to everyone’s surprise, a second sword appeared in his left. Lin Xuan was now wielding two swords. This left everyone stunned.
What’s happening? Dual swords?
It’s useless. Sword Soulless sneered. "It doesn’t matter how many Treasure Swords you use. You can’t defeat ."
In his view, even if Lin Xuan used two swords, he would just be performing the White Cloud Sword Technique with both hands simultaneously, which was utterly insignificant.
He had lost his patience for this fight and decided to end it in one move. He slashed out again, his attack even more piercing than before.
The Wind and Cloud Sword Qi instantly slashed towards Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan snorted coldly. The swords in his hands began to dance—his right hand perford the White Cloud Sword Technique while his left hand executed Gale Swordsmanship. The two different streams of Sword Qi wove together in mid-air.
In the next instant, the Wind and Cloud Sword Qi struck. With a loud bang, it was blocked.
"What? How is that possible?" Zhao Feiyan exclaid in disbelief.
Sun Hao and Wu Ming were dumbfounded. Zhang Yang and Zhao Jie were stunned.
The rest of the spectators were in an uproar. They all thought Lin Xuan was going to lose, yet he had unexpectedly blocked the attack! It was too incredible to believe.
Elder Feng’s eyes widened in shock as he exclaid, "Two sword techniques! He’s actually using two different sword techniques at the sa ti!"
How is this possible? Ling Fengzi was also astonished. "Is this multitasking? That’s truly heaven-defying! This kid still had a trick like this up his sleeve. How interesting."
The Dean was also startled; he had never seen such a thod. A person could cultivate many types of swordsmanship, but they could only use one at a ti. It was possible to use several techniques in quick succession to make one’s attacks varied and unpredictable, but he had truly never seen soone perform two different types of swordsmanship simultaneously. It was as if Lin Xuan had just invented a new way of fighting!
"So amazing!" Feng Qingxue cheered excitedly.
On the arena, a smile touched Lin Xuan’s lips as he looked at Sword Soulless. "Senior Brother, now I’ll show you my real Swordsmanship!"
After speaking, he gave a sharp flick of his wrists, forcing back Sword Soulless’s Sword Qi. Then his hands began to dance. He pushed the White Cloud Sword and Gale Sword techniques to their limits, sending a continuous, intertwining flurry of two different kinds of Sword Qi into the air.
Across from him, Sword Soulless’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected his opponent to be able to multitask like this. But so what? Even if he can use two sword techniques at once, they can’t beat my Wind and Cloud Sword Technique.
He charged again.
"It’s useless," Elder Feng said, shaking his head. "The Wind and Cloud Sword Technique is itself a fusion of the White Cloud and Gale swordsmanship styles. Even if this kid can use them simultaneously, it can’t compare to the true, integrated technique."
"Unless he could simultaneously use two Profound-rank sword techniques, he might have a chance of defeating it."
As it stands, he is truly no match.
The other elders also nodded. Lin Xuan will lose this battle. Still, he has given us far too many surprises.
Just as they thought Lin Xuan was about to be defeated, the Sword Qi swirling around him intertwined, instantly forming a sword array that enveloped Sword Soulless. The Sword Qi within the array erupted, surging toward him.
What? How is this possible?
Sword Soulless was dumbfounded. The hair on his body stood on end as he sensed a fatal crisis. He hurriedly brandished the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique to defend himself.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! The opposing streams of Sword Qi collided with an earth-shattering sound.
Sword Soulless was forced back continuously, his qi and blood churning within him.
This is...?
"The Wind and Cloud Sword Array!" Sword Soulless’s eyes widened. "Damn it, how can you use the Wind and Cloud Sword Array?"
His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. A sword array! Isn’t that sothing that requires multiple people working together to execute? How can one person deploy a sword array? Damn it, how on earth did this kid manage it?
Sword Soulless was completely and utterly dumbfounded.
