At this mont, even facing such a situation, Ah Du did not panic in the slightest. After all, he was also a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, just a step away from the next rank of cultivation. Imdiately, Ah Du sat cross-legged, as the True Qi Shield around him defended against the surrounding blizzard, unable to harm him at all.
Ah Du then focused on sensing the changes around him. Although his vision was not great now, as a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, vision was almost unnecessary. He simply extended his Divine Sense to perceive everything outside. Although he had no opportunity to attack at this mont, he remained motionless to seize an opportunity when it arose.
Guo Linn fiercely stabbed towards Ah Du's direction with his flying sword from ti to ti, but Ah Du blocked them all one by one. After a while, Ah Du seized an opportunity, located Guo Linn's position, and stabbed fiercely with his sword, startling Guo Linn.
Guo Linn hadn't expected that in this environnt, the opponent could still attack, and the sword strike was so fiercely swift. Even if Guo Linn wanted to dodge, it was too late. Unavoidably, Guo Linn chanted a spell, and suddenly, a thick ice wall appeared in front of him.
Clink!
A crisp sound rang as Ah Du's longsword fiercely stabbed at the opponent's ice wall. Ah Du exerted great force, sending True Qi into the longsword. With a twist of his hand, the entire ice wall shattered, and the longsword continued to stab fiercely towards Guo Linn.
Seeing this, Guo Linn no longer worried, for the ice wall gave him ti to evade. He retreated continuously while waving his hands, and surging flas shot forth from his arms towards Ah Du.
Whoosh whoosh...
Faced with scorching flas, Ah Du dared not be careless. He quickly withdrew his longsword and dodged several tis, yet his flying sword was not idle, striking out with sword beams at Guo Linn. Ah Du's sword beams slashed one after another towards Guo Linn, overwhelming and unavoidable.
Boom boom boom...
As Guo Linn evaded with all his might, Ah Du's sword beams fiercely slamd into the ground, causing a whirlwind of flying sand and dust, filling the air.
Several flas from Guo Linn still bombarded his opponent. The scorching flas made the entire Sword Washing Pool extrely hot, clearly showing that Guo Linn's flas were no ordinary existence. A slight lapse in attention would inevitably lead to severe injury. Although Ah Du's sword beams continuously slashed at him.
Fortunately, Guo Linn's evasive speed was considered decent, and whenever he couldn't block, he would erect an ice wall. So, Ah Du's sword beams had little effect on Guo Linn. Compared to this, Guo Linn appeared sowhat at ease, while Ah Du seed rather distressed.
At this point, Guo Linn's flas were extrely hot. Even though Ah Du deployed a True Qi Shield to envelop his body, the scorching temperature still felt unbearable, and the True Qi Shield seed unable to completely resist the flas. Before long, the scorching flas burned a hole through Ah Du's True Qi Shield.
This startled Ah Du greatly. He had not expected the opponent's flas to be so powerful, and his True Qi Shield couldn't withstand it for a mont. It was simply unbelievable. Naturally, he knew he would never accept defeat, and he absolutely did not believe he could lose.
After all, he hadn't yet executed the "Sword Drawing Technique," but now he had a new perspective on the Martial Arts that Guo Linn possessed. The opponent's Magic Martial Arts were evidently no flowery display, and in battle, they were not rely supplentary attacks.
He understood that he had to end the battle quickly, but the opponent's scorching flas were indeed too hot, and approaching him was not easy. Moreover, the opponent had impressive evasive speed. Although the opponent's cultivation was slightly lower, he was still an outstanding disciple among the Thirty-Six Caves.
He knew he needed to co up with a strategy. After a while, Ah Du held out using the True Qi Shield for defense, and then moved constantly towards the edge of a waterfall. Reaching there, the cool river water dispelled the fla's heat, allowing Rong Adu a mont to catch his breath.
Guo Linn's flas were extinguished upon eting the cold river water, rendering the flas ineffective against the opponent.
However, Guo Linn was already quite satisfied. The opponent's cultivation was much higher than his own, and being able to drive him to this state was proof that his "sorcery" was indeed extraordinary. Nevertheless, he did not solely want to push the opponent to a distressed state.
He wanted to defeat the opponent. Only then would the opponent stop treating him with arrogance. Guo Linn had long disliked him imnsely. Now was a great opportunity, but he also knew that he could not reveal too much of his "sorcery's" power, lest it attract attention from sinister people.
Ding Fan watched the battle between the two, his heart fluctuating from ti to ti. Ding Fan had not expected Guo Linn's sorcery to be so powerful, causing Ah Du to desperately flee and defend without any ability to counterattack. It was simply unbelievable!
This was roughly what Ding Fan anticipated. If it weren't for his possession of the Frost Toad's Arctic Chill, which could break Guo Linn's Cold Qi or Flas, facing Guo Linn would not be easy for him either. Now, Ah Du had already proven Ding Fan's judgnt was very accurate.
The natural phenona Guo Linn conjured, whether Flas or Frost, or even snowstorms, were not sothing ordinary people could easily endure. These transformative spells could not only serve as auxiliary attacks in battle but also as the main form of attack, which indeed was trendously formidable.
At this mont, even Ding Fan had to admit that the "Sorcery" was indeed slightly superior to the "Sword Drawing Technique". However, this was of no consequence to Ding Fan. He knew that his "Basic Martial Arts" wasn't limited to just these two sets, but included many martial arts from predecessors in the village.
Seeing Guo Linn's potent "Sorcery" made Ding Fan very pleased. Once he reached a certain level with the "Sword Drawing Technique", he would pursue the "Sorcery" as well. His martial arts book started with these two forms. Ding Fan was aware that in the eyes of strong individuals like the village chief, these two were deed the highest among the martial arts he learned in his lifeti.
Thus, Ding Fan must master them, but he observed the current situation between Guo Linn and the other two. Despite Guo Linn's "Sorcery" being infinitely changeable and powerful, defeating Ah Du seed rather difficult, considering Ah Du's cultivation was sowhat superior to Guo Linn's, creating a significant disparity.
Importantly, although Ah Du's "Sword Drawing Technique" was not as impressive as Guo Linn's "Sorcery", it was definitely not an ordinary martial art. Ah Du had already mastered the first Sword Technique, and combined with his slightly higher cultivation, even if Guo Linn could be endlessly adaptable, Ah Du could assuredly prevail.
Otherwise, Ding Fan knew Ah Du wouldn't be considered the most outstanding disciple among the thirty-six caves. Thus, Ding Fan strongly believed in his judgnt. Currently, Ah Du simply hadn't seized an opportunity yet. As soon as Guo Linn gives him a chance, Ah Du will end the match with a single sword.
However, Ding Fan also realized that at this point in their battle, even if Guo Linn were to lose in the end, it would be with great honor, given he had forced a cultivator ranked higher than himself into such a precarious position — a comndable feat.
At this mont, Ah Du approached the riverbank, and for the ti being Guo Linn's flas had no impact on him. Guo Linn then released Cold Qi, instantly freezing the entire river. Seeing this, Ah Du was greatly shocked, unable to believe Guo Linn had such skills. It was absolutely incredible!
Guo Linn released Cold Qi, freezing the river entirely, and the temperature around plumted by dozens of degrees, with ice shards littering the ground. Ah Du, though startled by Guo Linn's nurous thods, wasn't overly distressed. At this favorable mont, Guo Linn was close in proximity while releasing Cold Qi, presenting Ah Du with a golden opportunity.
Involuntarily, Ah Du shouted:
"Sword Drawing Technique!"
Simultaneously, Ah Du wielded his sword. Although the longsword couldn't reach Guo Linn, the Sword Beam was enough to cut any cultivator into halves. It was Ah Du's execution of the First Sword Technique within the "Sword Drawing Technique", with such extraordinary speed that it was invisible to the naked eye.
Additionally, Guo Linn was quite near Ah Du, making dodging the Sword Beam impossible. Guo Linn was utterly shocked, having not faced such rapid Sword Beam speed before — why was it so fast this ti?
In this critical mont, Guo Linn, once again, resorted to his old trick — an Ice Wall suddenly appeared before him. With a subtle curve on his lips, he thought to himself: "Even if his sword is fast, it's not faster than my Ice Wall! Once I evade this attack, Ah Du, lacking river cover, will have to face my Flas once more. Let's see how he deals with it, perhaps he'll end up pleading for surrender!"
Boom!
While Guo Linn was self-assuredly contemplating, Ah Du's Sword Beam struck the Ice Wall, causing it to shatter instantly. The entire occurrence was incredibly swift — the Sword Beam and the Ice Wall's transformation took less than a blink.
Guo Linn knew his Ice Wall couldn't block Ah Du's Sword Beam; it was rely a ti-buying tactic. But as he prepared to retreat, he was stunned to find a longsword already pressed against his throat.
The longsword certainly belonged to Ah Du.
Ah Du had long known his Sword Beam couldn't defeat Guo Linn. Its purpose was rely to disrupt Guo Linn's attack rhythm. The true focus, naturally, was on his Flying Sword, thus having executed the "Sword Drawing Technique" twice: the first was the Sword Beam against Guo Linn, and the second was this actual longsword.
