Chapter 153: Xuan Iron Sword Tactic VS Returning Wind

The two once again assumed fighting positions, their entire bodies giving off fighting intent, but currently, the disciples under the stage were in an uproar.

“Hey! Did you guys hear that? Lin Tian proactively recognized his loss. That means this fighting match’s winner is Lu Xuan. Haha, I can go back and grab my bet!” The disciple that spoke had bet on Lu Xuan winning.

But immediately there was someone who retorted: “Farts! Just now that was only a qi aura competition. The real fight is only starting now. How can that count as Lu Xuan winning? Only the proper fight that’s to come can decide who’s the victor!”

Without a doubt, the person who retorted was a disciple who had bet on Lin Tian’s victory.

“You guys are too shameless. Lin Tian himself said that he’s already loss. No matter how the following fight goes, it naturally still counts as Lu Xuan’s win.” The disciple who spoke before was unhappy. Lu Xuan’s gambling odds was 1:1.5. They had bet thousands of contribution points. For them, it wasn’t a small amount.

From the debate of a few disciples it had changed to a hubbub of countless disciple butting heads, no one admitting loss.

“Silence! If anyone else continues making loud noises, they will be directly kicked out!” Watching the quarreling become more and more fierce that it even affected the two main characters on the stage, Elder Cheng finally stood up. He didn’t care about these disciples bets. No one was allowed the affect this competition between his sword faction’s two geniuses.

However, Elder Cheng’s angry shout was unable to suppress the field. Although many disciples went quiet, there were still some disciple that were noisy.

This time, Elder Cheng was angry. To dare to be so unbridled on the sword faction’s land. Perhaps in the past, the sword faction didn’t have any standing, but now with Lu Xuan’s powerful momentum rising, Lin Tian’s entry level sword intent, after the next great sect competition, the sword faction was extremely likely to once again become the number one faction division. How could it be so accommodating to this group of unbridled disciples?

He immediately walked through the air, going to the group of people and quickly grabbed a few of the disciples that were arguing the most fiercely and tossed them out. Although the toss had a bit of yuan force behind it, it wasn’t enough to cause any serious injuries, but a bit of pain was bound to occur.

As soon as Elder Cheng made his move, those disciples that had continued arguing immediately shut up. Being tossed out wasn’t anything fun. Not only was it a big loss of face, if they weren’t careful, they might crash and wind up with a black and blue face. With their identities, they could only grit their teeth and swallow it.

Coldly scanning over the entire field, seeing that no one dared to speak, Elder Cheng returned back to the referee seats.

Seeing this, those disciples that bet on Lin Tian were naturally excited. At least there was a chance for a reversal. As for those disciples that bet on Lu Xuan, they were secretly worried for him. Originally, Lu Xuan’s strongest trump card was his small success stage sword intent, but just now, Lu Xuan himself had said that they would only be comparing martial arts. Neither of them were going to use sword intent. Undoubtedly this was giving up his biggest advantage. From their perspective, as a body refining sixth level large success against a peak body refining seventh level, no matter how they looked at it, Lu Xuan wasn’t an opponent.

However, no matter how it was, they could only support Lu Xuan quietly. He had to win this fight. That way, no matter what, they would have won for sure.

By the time it quieted down, Lu Xuan and Lin Tian had completely entered their battle stances. Both of them only had each other in their eyes.

Lu Xuan used the heavy sword. Facing Lin Tian, choosing this method had a reasoning behind it. The Xuan Iron Sword Tactic’s greatest advantage was that it didn’t have flaws. How could a sword tactic composed entirely of basic sword move have any flaws?

Since Lu Xuan didn’t attack, then Lin Tian naturally took the initiative to attack. For someone like him who was using the quick sword, the best defense was offense. Attacking so that the opposite party didn’t have any chance to attack back, what defense was there to talk about?

Lin Tian could be heard to give a low shout and his body suddenly flickered, his image suddenly flashed and had arrived in front of Lu Xuan. The Blood Drinker Sword in his hand silently stretched out towards Lu Xuan’s lower half. Sword qi burst forth, one sword came diagonally upwards!

How could Lu Xuan, who had been carefully monitoring Lin Tian’s movements, allow Lin Tian move so easily? He quickly lifted the Xuan Iron Sword and simply made a common horizontal sweep, immediately blocking off Lin Tian’s attack direction.

Although it was a common horizontal sweep, with the Xuan Iron Sword’s heavy weight, adding onto it being suffused with Lu Xuan’s yuan force, its momentum was enormous!

The sword hadn’t arrived, but the sword wind already had!

An incomparably powerful strong qi, directly rushed towards Lin Tian’s face!

Facing such a powerful strong qi, Lin Tian neither hid nor dodged and continued to rush towards Lu Xuan. There were a couple sounds of sharp inhalations from below the stage. What sort of fighting method was this? Was Lin Tian trying to kill himself?

However, before they could understand, something unexpected occurred. Lin Tian who had been swept by the sword wind didn’t wind up flying through the air spitting blood like they expected, and instead suddenly become soft, as if he was an autumn leaf, floating along in the sword wind!

In a moment, he had floated to Lu Xuan’s left side. Just at this moment, the soft strength Lin Tian emitted disappeared then once again became soft. His two legs suddenly landed on the ground and sped up, and like an arrow, directly thrust his sword forward!

The disciples below the stage couldn’t keep up with Lin Tian’s speed for a time, and it felt as if it were teleportation. They only saw Lin Tian’s sword tip distance was less than five steps away from Lu Xuan. With Lin Tian’s speed, he would most likely be able to pierce Lu Xuan in the blink of an eye.

The sounds of surprise rose again, however, this time was it was those that had bet on Lu Xuan that were worried. They believed, if Lu Xuan had been carrying a long sword, this sword would definitely be blockable, but now, the thing in his hand was an eighty-one kilogram heavy sword. Moving it around would be difficult. How could it block such an extremely quick attack?

Quicker than words can tell, they only heard Lu Xuan give off a low roar, and the extremely heavy Xuan Iron Sword was brought up and from the top came chopping down fiercely. It came later but arrived faster, making it in time to block Lin Tian’s piercing sword between them.

Lin Tian’s eyes flashed and was preparing to shift attack directions, but he hadn’t thought such a fiercely chopping Xuan Iron Sword would suddenly change its trajectory, changing from a chop to a slash, catching him off guard. There was only a “cling” sound as the Xuan Iron Sword and Blood Drinker Sword crashed into each other.

Lin Tian was greatly shocked. The Xuan Iron Sword was a heavy sword. Directly colliding, how could the Blood Drinker Sword be an opponent. He immediately gave up the shifting idea. Body refining seventh level strength was unreservedly pushed, completely pouring into the Blood Drinker Sword, making preparations for to forcefully shake off this attack.

But after this, the power transmitted by the Xuan Iron Sword once again went out of Lin Tian’s expectations and hadn’t been like the powerful rushing attack he expected, but was instead an extremely soft sticking force.

This kind of super heavy heavy sword actually had to be able to release the soft sword stroke in order to release sticking force. It was simply a paradoxical matter. Lin Tian didn’t have enough time to spin around. The Blood Drinker Sword had already completely been stuck to the Xuan Iron Sword.

Lu Xuan didn’t let this moment go. The Xuan Iron Sword fiercely horizontally swept out. As it swept in mid-air, strong force was suddenly released. The Xuan Iron Sword immediately separated from the Blood Drinker Sword. Due to that push, the Blood Drinker Sword even brought the sword-wielding Lin Tian with it. He was unceremoniously flung away.

If it was a normal person, after being tossed like this, he would have fallen and eaten dog sh*t and suffered internal injuries, but fortunately, Lin Tian’s strength was pretty strong and making some sort of movements, he actually impressively negated this extremely powerful momentum and was the same as before, once again becoming like a leaf that was slowly falling to the ground.

Lu Xuan returned his sword and Lin Tian put his sword up to defend. The two of them returned to their previous situation.

Looking at them, it seemed like it was even, but those with good eyesight could see that Lin Tian had lost this move. Just now, in mid-air, if not for the reversal of yuan force, then most likely his qi and blood would be churning and he would be suffering a definite internal injury.

The three elders currently were continuously nodding their heads. Elder Cheng stroked his beard and faintly smiled: “Lin Tian’s set of Returning Wind Falling Leaves Sword Skill seems to have already been practiced to its limits and deep into its essence. Quick like a fierce wind, slow like a falling leaf, can be attack, can be defense. If Lu Xuan’s force hadn’t been so impressively quick, he perhaps wouldn’t have suffered.”

Returning Wind Falling Lead Sword Skill, as its name suggested, made oneself like a falling leaf in the wind, fluttering with the wind like a falling leaf, not using force to dodge, and then make an opportunistic attack. Without a doubt, Lin Tian just now had already displayed this sword skill’s essence vividly.

Hearing this, Elder Lin laughed: “No need to praise him. Returning Wind Falling Leaf Sword Skill is only an intermediate grade martial skill. After spending some time, anyone can practice it to that level. On the other hand, Lu Xuan truly has greatly exceeded my expectations, ah. I hadn’t imagined that he actually could wield the heavy sword so exquisitely. Originally I had even said afterwards I was going to go and have a good talk with him and turn his heart back to practicing the quick sword and to not divide his attention. I hadn’t thought that the heavy sword in his hand could similarly display such power. This kid’s sword dao talent is truly too amazing. Perhaps an old man like me is too conservative.”

As Elder Lin said this, Elder Cheng continued nodding his head: “Your thinking is in perfect sync with mine. It seems indeed that Old Xu knows Lu Xuan the best. He knew that Lu Xuan would definitely not waste his efforts. Although he only used three and a half moves just now, the heavy sword’s essence already appears to be fully reflected. The first horizontal sweep simple and concise, without any extra force. Although it’s not bad, it’s nothing unusual, but the next two moves and a half humbled me.”

“En, indeed it is so. That chop turned into a horizontal slash move and a half, without countless times of bitterly cultivating it absolutely wouldn’t be able to turn so naturally. Lifting things as if they were light, dexterously handling it. However, the most difficult was that last move. Originally changing to soft was already not simple. Using the heavy sword to display that softness is even harder. As for the power sent out by his heavy sword, it has even more reached the limits. But as the two swords clashed, it could still change with such speed? It’s simply unthinkable!” Elder Lin praised Lu Xuan without reserve.

Although the Lu Xuan’s fight with Lin Tian had been very fast just now, and in the eyes of the disciples it perhaps only looked like the two clashing once and separating, but for the three great elders, with their vision, in one glance they could see the essence clearly. Especially Lu Xuan’s seemingly simple few moves had even more thorough.

“Really good Lu Xuan. I hadn’t thought your attainments in the heavy sword would also actually be so strong. I almost ate a big loss to you. It seems like the Returning Wind Falling Leaf Sword Skill has no way of forcing out your true strength.” Lin Tian took a deep breath and pushed down the churning qi and blood before speaking.
