Heaven Slaughtering Sword God - Chapter 18
Lin Chen’s defeat had set off a flurry of discussion at the Clear Sky Banquet.
But, what most people were discussing, was not how he had actually failed, but the martial skill that Xiao Wall used to defeat Lin Chen, the kind of palm skill that could even beat an ox, was a kind of relatively profound and rare martial skill. It appeared in the body of a young disciple, causing people to be unable to help themselves from sighing, thinking that the Profound Spirit Sect’s background was extraordinary.
“…”
Therefore, everyone thought highly of Li Shaofu’s plan.
“Young Master, who do you think will win?”
Xiao Sanzi asked excitedly.
Lin Jian heard and thought for a while before saying, “I don’t really understand Li Shaofu, but I estimate that Xiao Wall’s chances of winning will be a little higher.”
“Nonsense!”
At this moment, a cold and arrogant voice echoed, and it was Bai Luohan who was currently looking at him with disdain.
When Li Shaofu appeared earlier, he had been analyzing the situation towards Gongsun Waner and the others. But in his opinion, Li Shaofu had the advantage in fighting hand to hand with his blade, so even if his toughness and strength was not as good as Xiao Huo’s, he would definitely be able to last through three moves.
“Since you think that Li Shaofu will lose, why are you exaggerating? Why don’t you analyze it with us? Or perhaps, what I said just now is wrong? ”
Bai Luohan asked with a cold smile.
Lin Jian shot a glance at him, and immediately lost all interest in talking further.
“Humph!”
When Bai Luohan saw that he did not continue speaking, he thought that he had let in a bit of fear, and became even more arrogant: “You don’t understand Li Shaofu at all, and just by looking at how he is from a Qing Yun Sect, you think that he won’t be able to take three moves from Senior Brother Xiao Wall.
As the sound of his voice faded, it instantly drew the cheers of the people from the Greencloud City.
And at that moment, everyone looked at Lin Jian with strange eyes, as if there was an extra trace of contempt.
But Lin Jian didn’t mind, and indifferently shrugged his shoulders.
Just now, he had only casually guessed at who would win and who would lose. He was not willing to think about it in his heart.
As everyone was talking, the battle between Xiao Yin and Li Shaofu, was finally about to begin.
He just saw, that after Xiao Wall accepted Li Shaofu’s challenge, he smiled faintly and did not continue to use his palm, and instead held the Xuanwu Shield in his hand.
“You want to use a shield?”
Li Shaofu could not help but be taken aback. Didn’t Xiao Wall specialize in palm techniques? Does he know how to use a shield?
“That’s right, this small shield is quite handy.”
Xiao Wall ridiculed him.
As soon as they finished speaking, Li Shaofu and Bai Luohan’s expressions became a little ugly. They originally thought that Xiao Wall would continue to use palm techniques, but they did not expect him to actually use Lin Chen’s Xuanwu Shield.
Lin Jian nodded in response, and said lightly: “Since he dares to make two consecutive matches, then he naturally does not have only one ability. It’s understandable that he has other hidden trump cards.”
“Horse Shooter!”
Bai Luohan coldly snorted with disdain: “Even if you use the shield, Li Shaofu still might not lose!”
Before long, the battle between the two began.
It was still just three moves.
The first time, Xiao Clan’s shield was used as an attack and Li Shaofu was forced to defend. In the second move, Xiao Luo used his own Xuanwu Shield s to exchange for Li Shaofu’s Wind Breaking Blade, causing both of their weapons to fall out of his hands at the same time. On the third move, the two people who had lost their weapons exchanged blows. The result was self-evident.
Li Shaofu lost!
This result was beyond everyone’s imagination. Let alone the young disciples, even the expressions of the elders at the City Lord’s side turned ugly.
Although everyone knew on the surface that the heaven’s pride level experts of the Greencloud City were no match for the Mysterious Spirit Sect disciple, it was still too unreasonable for them to even take three moves.
This was a matter of face for the Greencloud City.
At this time, Bai Luohan could no longer hold himself back. Seeing Li Shaofu leaving with his face covered in dirt, he immediately stood up.
“Senior brother Xiao Wall, this one is Bai Luohan, I am willing to learn from you!”
Bai Luohan said in a clear voice.
As his voice fell, a hint of playfulness flashed past his eyes. He exchanged glances with one of the disciples from Profound Spirit Sect, as if he was saying that the fish had taken the bait.
Following that, Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I fought two matches in a row and I’m tired. I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight in the following match with Brother Bai, so why don’t you let the other fellow brothers do the same?”
After he finished speaking, he walked back to his seat and another person walked out.
“…” Yang Fan! ”
Seeing that, Bai Luohan’s pupils contracted, his eyes revealing a deep sense of fear.
Just last month, Bai Luohan had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, and from the eighth grade of Refining Body to the peak of the Perfection Stage, he was at the same level as Xiao Wall. Adding on some of his hidden cards, he was confident that even if he fought with Xiao Wall to death, he might not necessarily lose.
But if it was Yang Fan who was going to fight against his opponent, Bai Luohan did not have this kind of confidence.
Yang Fan was a cultivator at the second level of the Foundation Establishment, the Qi Condensation stage!
Body refining, Qi training.
Although there was only a single word of difference, the difference in strength between the two were completely different.
A body refining stage martial artist could absorb the spirit energy of the world and open up eight extraordinary meridians. When fighting, the meridians in the body would circulate, increasing the strength of the body. When the body was at the peak of body refining, all eight meridians would be open, and the strength of a martial artist’s body would be like a dragon or elephant.
However, a Refinement Stage martial artist could already release the soul force in his body, achieving the effect of attacking people through the air. He had more long-range attacks than a Refinement Stage martial artist.
“How could it be Yang Fan?”
On the main seat, after the Mayor Song Qi saw this scene, his expression couldn’t help but sink.
He knew clearly in his heart how strong Bai Luohan was. As the number one disciple in the Greencloud City’s younger generation, if he were to let go of Xiao Huo and fight, he might not lose, but if he were to face a Qi Condensation disciple, the situation would become unclear.
What he was truly concerned about, was not the outcome of this competition, but the intentions of the young disciples of Profound Spirit Sect. It was clear that they wanted to slap Greencloud City in the face!
You know…
Before Bai Luohan, the Greencloud City had already lost two rounds in a row.
It was just a matter of time. If Bai Luohan lost this battle again, how could the Greencloud City hold his head up in front of the Profound Spirit Sect in the future?
“Letting me be Brother Bai’s opponent doesn’t mean that I have humiliated you, right?”
Yang Fan smiled lightly, and spoke with an arrogant tone.
“…” “Of course not.”
Bai Luohan’s face became extremely ugly, but he could only grit his teeth and endure. He could not lose this competition, otherwise, he would not only be humiliated, but would also lose confidence when facing such a strong opponent like Yang Fan.
“Humph!”
Yang Fan snorted coldly in his heart as the corners of his mouth twitched, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. The reason he appeared now was to ruthlessly strike at Bai Luohan’s face, to make him fear him in the future, and not dare to have any designs on Gongsun Waner anymore.
Of course, there had to be extra winnings as well.
“I know that Brother Bai is from a prestigious clan and has a large background. If I bring out some ordinary items, I’m afraid that people will misunderstand and look down on your Bai Clan. Since it’s like this …” Yang Fan chuckled, and took out a thumb-sized, fiery red spirit jade from his storage ring.
“This is!” “Fire Essence Insight?”
“What a big gift. This thumb-sized fire essence, I’m afraid it’s comparable to a Superior Xuan Artifact!”
“As expected of a disciple of the Profound Spirit Sect, his actions are truly generous. But I wonder, what kind of thing does Bai Luohan want as a prize?”
“…”
Everyone started to discuss and with every sentence, Bai Luohan’s face became even more serious.
A moment later, he took out a treasure talisman and said, “This is a middle grade Thunder Talisman. Every time you activate it, you can summon the full power of a bolt of lightning from the Mortal Realm warrior, and use it again and again. In terms of value, it would not be inferior to Senior Brother Yang Fan’s Fire Essence Intent.”
“Alright!”
Yang Fan nodded his head, and laughed: “Brother Bai is truly generous, since that’s the case, let us begin the competition! The rules are the same as before, the agreement of three moves! ”
As he had been recognized as the number one young disciple in the Greencloud City all these years, he also had his own pride and arrogance. Even if he knew that he was no match for Yang Fan, who had the Mortal Realm, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to endure past three moves.
“Bring it on!”
Bai Luohan took out a sword from his waist, releasing a clear sword hum, his aura instantly rising to the peak.
A great battle was on the verge of breaking out. The air became stifling and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
