Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The sword beam appeared in an instant and stabbed at Lin Yan’s eyes.
Lin Yan circulated his strength, and his palm turned into a grayish-white Stone Pagoda. He suddenly slapped horizontally and knocked Qin Xiang’s sword away.
He was about to take advantage of the opportunity to hit Qin Xiang’s chest.
Qin Xiang took advantage of the force and twisted his wrist. Following his strength, the edge of the sword swept out, and the tip of the sword immediately drew a round arc. A cold light appeared, like a circular blade. It actually spun and slashed at Lin Yan’s chest.
Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed. The ring-shaped blade was filled with force and its sharpness was oppressive. The Stone Pagoda could not withstand it!
He immediately stopped his fist and took a step back.
He touched his chest with a slightly solemn expression. The ring-shaped blade drawn by the sword was clearly much sharper than ordinary stabs. It only brushed past his skin, but it actually cut a hole in the front of his shirt and even cut through his inner armor.
This Qin Xiang had used his true ability the moment he came up!
Qin Xiang’s expression was calm as he swung his sword. “You’re a little stronger than I imagined. This way, I can also attack freely and see how long you can last.”
His expression turned solemn, and the edge of his sword suddenly straightened. He shouted in a low voice, “Sword Ring: Triple Blade!”
He advanced and slashed with his sword. His body approached like a stream of light, and his speed was already extremely fast.
However, the sword in his hand was even faster. He suddenly slashed out three times in a row, and three arc-shaped sword beams spread out. They were like three cold curved blades of the full moon. One slashed at Lin Yan’s neck, one at his chest, and the last at his lower body!
Lin Yan quickly retreated and barely dodged.
“Sword Ring: Four-Kill Sword!”
Qin Xiang did not give up. He stood up and slashed with his sword. His sword was like lightning as four ring-shaped sword beams spread out like silver bottles breaking. However, this time, they split Lin Yan’s limbs!
Lin Yan tried his best to retreat, but the four sword rings were like parasites attached to his bones. They followed him like a shadow and bit him as Qin Xiang approached.
“If I can’t dodge… then I won’t dodge!”
The cold light in Lin Yan’s eyes soared as he dodged the two circular sword beams. His fist was already filled with the power of Thousand Pound Break as he brazenly struck out and collided head-on with the other two ring-shaped sword beams!
BOOM!
The forces collided, emitting a faint explosive sound. Lin Yan and Qin Xiang each took a step back.
Lin Yan looked at his fist. There were two bone-deep sword marks on it, and blood was flowing out. He was at a disadvantage in this head-on clash.
Qin Xiang waved his sword and said indifferently, “Is that all you’ve got? I’ve overestimated you! Sword Ring: Six Worlds Prison!”
The sword suddenly lit up, and six circular sword beams intertwined, instantly enveloping Lin Yan. It was as if six rings overlapped each other, and the edges were extremely sharp. They closed in from all directions and sealed Lin Yan!
Lin Yan took a deep breath, and the force around his body fluctuated rapidly. A blood energy pattern circled his entire body, and a huge force appeared out of thin air. It was the Little Azure Dragon state!
In the next moment, the ground under his feet instantly cracked.
Qin Xiang’s eyes narrowed and he suddenly raised his head.
Lin Yan actually jumped up high and escaped from the encirclement of his six swords. Then, Lin Yan looked down from above like a swimming dragon striking the sea and punched down, Critical Strike1.
Qin Xiang’s expression changed slightly. He drew his sword and turned around. He took a step up and shouted, “Sword Ring: Seven Stars As One!”
In just a short period of time, he actually waved the sword seven times in a row!
Seven tiny ring-shaped sword beams flashed. Then, the force gathered at a point and formed a spear-like force. It rushed up and collided with Lin Yan’s fist!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sword light bloomed. It was clearly the collision of a fist and a sword, but it was like the sound of metal colliding.
With the help of the reaction force, Lin Yan rolled back in midair and landed lightly on the ground. As for Qin Xiang, he took seven consecutive steps back, creating seven huge cracks in the ground before he could stand still.
His expression was normal, but his breathing was a little unstable. He didn’t expect Lin Yan’s punch to be so powerful!
“What are you looking at!”
Lin Yan’s footsteps were wide and fast. In an instant, he had already appeared in front of Qin Xiang. He took a step forward and punched without any fancy moves.
Qin Xiang’s expression changed again. So fast!
His strength was so great, and his speed was actually so fast. What martial arts technique was this!
His mind raced as he quickly raised the sword in his hand to block Lin Yan’s fist.
The force was transmitted, and a huge impact erupted. He subconsciously retreated.
Lin Yan naturally wouldn’t give him a chance to catch his breath. His punches were so fast that they were like phantoms. Every punch was a critical hit. The force was like a tsunami as it approached Qin Xiang.
In an instant, they fought more than ten rounds, forcing Qin Xiang back too feet.
Qin Xiang was not weaker than Lin Yan.
However, at such a close distance, even if he had more exquisite sword moves, he could not use them for the time being. He could only keep circling around with the sword edge, blocking the enemy, and be forced back with large strides.
However, Lin Yan’s punches were too fast, and every move contained abundant strength. In just a few breaths, his sword was already buzzing. Blood flowed from the web between his thumb and index finger, and his chest was also affected by Lin Yan’s punches. It hurt slightly.
Qin Xiang’s expression was ugly as anger flashed in his eyes. “How dare a mere commoner be arrogant! Wind Ring!”
Lin Yan was originally pressing forward step by step.
However, all of a sudden, the hair on his body stood on end. His entire body trembled, and his head instantly lowered as he flew back.
A huge curved sword that was more than a hundred feet long suddenly appeared and slashed past Lin Yan.
As if dipped in white ink, this huge brush left a stroke in the air. It was also like a curved silver-white silk. It crossed more than a hundred feet and directly cut the grass in the surrounding dozens of feet in half.
Lin Yan’s pupils contracted.
So fast!
How terrifying!
In midair, the afterimage of the terrifying sword aura seemed to have slowly faded.
The force of the Tough Realm could not leave his body, but Qin Xiang’s sword made the wind into a sharp blade, causing an effect like the force leaving his body!
If that sword really struck him, he would be severely injured even if he didn’t die!
On the other side, Qin Xiang’s face was slightly pale. He had previously slashed out so many times, but his expression remained the same. However, after this strike, he seemed to have consumed a lot of energy. His expression was ugly.
“You actually forced me to use the Wind Ring move at the same realm. You can be proud!”
Qin Xiang held his sword by his waist and made a posture of drawing it. His feet were slightly bent, and his eyes were filled with indifference.
“The Wind Ring Sword Technique can only be used by those in the Noble Realm. Therefore, even I can’t restrain it. If you’re unlucky and die under this sword, don’t blame me…”
In an instant, Qin Xiang drew his sword and slashed at the sky. “Wind Ring!”
A sword light suddenly appeared!
An incomparably huge ring-shaped wind blade suddenly slashed out, directly plowing a long sword mark in the ground!
Fast!
It was too fast!
This sword rose with the wind and suddenly approached like the astral winds of the nine heavens. It was several times faster than the Roaming Dragon Crossing!
The moment Lin Yan saw it, it was already about to hit his body!
Logically speaking, unless Lin Yan activated the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder to resist, he would definitely die.
However, he had actually dodged in advance. The Wind Ring blade had brushed past his shoulder!
Lin Yan’s expression was inexplicable and mixed with a hint of strangeness as he walked towards Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang’s gaze focused before he sneered. “Your luck is not bad. You actually happened to survive. Next strike, I’ll definitely…”
Before he could finish speaking, the sword had already slashed out, and another huge white invisible blade slashed out.
However, this time, even though it was a sneak attack, the sword beam still brushed past Lin Yan again!
Qin Xiang’s eyes widened, and he could no longer remain calm. “Impossible!”
What he cultivated was a profound true martial arts technique called the Circular Wind Sword.
The name was simple, but in fact, it was vast, profound, and extremely brilliant. Its core was that it used the sword ring to attract the wind of nature. Its power was endless and incomparably fast.
This was especially so for this Wind Ring. The sword intent was carried by the wind and was as fast as a bird. One had to be extremely talented in the Sword Dao to be able to use it at the Tough Realm.
Once it was used, even a Noble Realm martial master could not dodge it and could only resist it head-on!
This was also the ultimate move he was most proud of!
But what did he see?
Lin Yan actually dodged this Wind Ring Technique easily?
Three consecutive times?
Qin Xiang’s face was as pale as paper. The three Wind Rings were almost at his limit!
However, he did not believe it. He crazily squeezed the strength in his body and shouted angrily, “I don’t believe it! Go to hell!”
The fourth Wind Ring!
This strike was much smaller than the previous three strikes. He had clearly reached his limit.
However, this sword still brushed past Lin Yan and actually missed him!
Qin Xiang’s face suddenly turned pale. He was so angry that his entire body trembled violently. “You, you, you…”
In the end, without being able to finish his sentence, his head tilted and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Lin Yan walked to Qin Xiang’s side and kicked his sword away. Then, he flipped the man over, knelt on the back of his neck, and began to search him.
“Huh? There’s nothing?”
After flipping through the man, there was nothing on Qin Xiang’s body. He was poor.
“Nothing at all. This Qin Xiang was probably really testing me.”
Recalling the terrifying Wind Ring, Lin Yan revealed a strange expression again.
To be honest, the power of those three attacks was too terrifying. If any of them struck him, he would definitely be crippled if he didn’t activate the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder.
However… this move was released with the wind!
The wind was unstable and formless. Ordinary people could not capture it at all.
However, because of the special effect of Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder, he was extremely sensitive to wind and lightning!
With the enhancement of the Azure Dragon True Intent, no wind change could escape his perception.
Therefore, when Qin Xiang moved his wrist, he immediately sensed the change in the wind. Almost instantly, he dodged in advance and directly avoided the terrifying sword move!
He had predicted the next few Wind Rings and captured the gaps in the wind momentum, directly disabling this Wind Ring!
Therefore, it was not that Qin Xiang’s Wind Ring had failed, nor was he fast.
It was purely because this move was naturally countered by him!
If Qin Xiang kept using the previous Sword Ring moves, he might not be able to win.
However, Qin Xiang conceitedly used the Wind Ring continuously and exhausted himself to faint.
It could only be said that it was fate.
Staring at the unconscious Qin Xiang, Lin Yan’s eyes flickered coldly.
Should he kill Qin Xiang or not?
At this moment, slow footsteps sounded from Ding’an City. A layer of sharp saber intent slowly enveloped Lin Yan.
Lin Yan turned around and saw Xiao Ye holding a long saber with a cold expression. He walked over step by step. “Please stop..”
