Chapter 169: Battle against Ling Xiao "It would be a pity to want to exchange a few more moves with her in that state." Looking at Duan Yingchao who was carried away, Xia Ningyan's expression showed a little regret. Then she turned to look at Ling Xiao in the field, and a hint of coldness flashed in her clear eyes. Now, this is the only obstacle between me and the top spot in the competition. "True disciple Xia Ningyan, will you continue to challenge chief disciple Ling Xiao?" "Of course." After hearing the question from the law enforcement elder, Xia Ningyan did not hesitate at all. "Do you need some time to recover?" ".Wait a moment." After saying that, Xia Ningyan's gaze swept into the distance, looking at the place where Lu Xuan was previously.
She hoped that her fellow Taoist would pay close attention to her at this important moment. After all, this is the result of the joint efforts of both of them, and the fruits of victory should naturally be tasted together. However, after searching for a while, Xia Ningyan did not see Lu Xuan. It was not until a moment later that he finally found Lu Xuan, who had hurried over, in a corner. Immediately afterwards, Xia Ningyan walked towards him. Seeing this, Lu Xuan also took the initiative to walk through the crowd and came to her side. "Ah Xuan, where did you go just now? I couldn't find you for a long time." Xia Ningyan took Lu Xuan into her arms, lowered her head and asked softly. "Ningyan, I just went to get a talisman from someone, you put it in your arms. At critical moments, it can provide you with protection." As he spoke, Lu Xuan took out a green turtle card and handed it to Xia Ningyan. This was the good guy card he got from the system when he rejected Ling Xiao earlier. The effect is that one can resist any attack below the level of Spirit Transformation once, even if facing an attack from the Spirit Transformation level. It can at least offset half of the force. "This talisman looks a bit strange." Xia Ningyan frowned slightly in confusion, and after looking at it for a while, she put it close to her chest. "It's a bit weird, but it works." Lu Xuan was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the so-called good guy card would be like this. It makes people feel like they are giving the green hat to their partner personally.
“Ah Xuan, I’m about to have the final competition. Do you have anything to say to me?" After receiving the talisman, Xia Ningyan looked at Lu Xuan affectionately, wanting to get his blessing before fighting Ling Xiao. ". Ningyan, come on, let them see that my Taoist partner is a genius unparalleled in the world." Lu Xuan took a deep breath and expressed his inner thoughts sincerely. "Well, I want to prove to the whole sect that your vision is correct, Xuan. Your unwavering support for me is not a joke in their eyes." Hearing this, Xia Ningyan raised her hand lovingly and gently stroked Lu Xuan's cheek, expressing her love. "Then go for it, Ningyan. I'm waiting to see the moment when you become the center of attention." Lu Xuan smiled slightly, and was also infected by the confidence of his fellow Taoist partner. It was as if I had already seen the moment when she won the championship and the whole audience cheered. "Well, Xuan, you should leave first, so as not to get hurt by mistake later." Having said that, Xia Ningyan reluctantly let go of his hand, turned to look at the law enforcement elder beside her, and nodded to indicate that he could continue. "Elder, I am ready. You may declare the competition to begin." Boom! "Two disciples enter! All other disciples please evacuate!" As the melodious bells rang, all the outsiders left. As the final decisive battle, only Xia Ningyan and Ling Xiao were left on the martial arts arena. It was enough to let them let go and have a good fight. "Xia Ningyan, you rely on that inexplicable cold energy, even though you have the peak combat power of the Nascent Soul. But you still don’t have any cultivation, can’t use any magic weapon, and don’t have any magical power to protect yourself. You can’t take my sword.” After the start, Ling Xiao grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, but did not rush to draw the sword. Instead, he started to greet "Really? You can give it a try. My body is not as fragile as you think." Xia Ningyan smiled disdainfully. In the previous battle, she only relied on her powerful Taiyin body. He easily defeated the British Dynasty. Even without the protective magic power, her physical strength is enough to withstand the Taoist attacks of the peak Nascent Soul stage. “Heh, so arrogant, I hope you have other cards. Otherwise, I would have killed him with two swords, and Junior Brother Lu's efforts would have been in vain." Ling Xiao snorted coldly, and the words that came out of his mouth instantly confused Xia Ningyan's mind.
"What do you mean! Ah Xuan." Swish! Xia Ningyan was about to ask when suddenly, a snow-white sword light slashed towards her. She had no choice but to dodge temporarily, and the burst of cold air froze the intangible sword energy. "Ling Xiao, explain yourself clearly!" Xia Ningyan's tone sounded a little irritable, as her emotions fluctuated. The cultivation that she had been suppressing began to surge. Ling Xiao naturally noticed this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of expectation rose in his eyes. The current Xia Ningyan was too unchallenging for her. My sword has no desire to strike at all. "My junior brother came to ask me to show mercy to you. Don't worry, I will be careful not to hurt your face." Ling Xiao deliberately provoked Xia Ningyan, raised his sword and approached her, launching an arrogant attack. The snow-white sword energy surrounding her body made her fearless of the biting cold. "You're lying! Xuan wouldn't do that. He has enough confidence in me!" While dealing with the sword shadows that attacked from time to time, Xia Ningyan was pondering the truth of this sentence. "Hehe, whether it's true or not, after the competition is over, go find your junior brother to confirm it yourself!" As soon as he finished speaking, an even more powerful sword energy slashed out, and Ling Xiao intentionally forced Xia Ningyan. Let her show her true strength. Swish! Suddenly, a sword energy slashed Xia Ningyan's arm, leaving a deep bloody mark. "If this is the limit, you will be defeated if you get three more strikes." Looking at Xia Ningyan, whose arm was instantly frozen to stop the blood from flowing out, Ling Xiao reminded her. "You've said so much nonsense from beginning to end, don't you just want to see my true strength?" Seeing this, Xia Ningyan let go of the bloody arm and stopped suppressing herself. Her aura began to gradually rise. creak creak! With her as the base point, the pale frost gradually spread to the entire martial arts field, constantly making crisp sounds. At this moment, Xia Ningyan's speed of improvement in cultivation shocked everyone present. Qi training stage, foundation building stage, golden elixir stage. Almost every few breaths, she would cross a new realm. In just a short moment, the fluctuations of magical power emitted had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. 'The critical moment that Junior Brother mentioned must be now.
Let me not disturb her breakthrough' Ling Xiao looked distractedly at Lu Xuan outside the field, only to see that he was staring at Xia Ningyan in front of her. My mind was completely immersed in her. 'Junior brother, if that's the case, then I will wait until she recovers to her peak. Then I can defeat her fairly and squarely, and that way, I will have fulfilled my promise to you." (End of this chapter)
