Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 156

Lin Xuan's gaze was naturally also caught by Ying Huanhuan. After seeing that the light in the other's eyes seemed to be brighter, the girl couldn't help but laugh in her heart. She came to Ying Xiaoxiao's side excitedly, hugged Ying Xiaoxiao's arm, and said in a tender voice.

"Sister, how about it, am I awesome?"

Upon hearing that, Ying Xiaoxiao touched Ying Huanhuan's head lovingly, turned her head and looked at Lin Xuan who was sitting on the main seat with a smile, then stretched out her jade finger and tapped Ying Huanhuan's forehead. The girl wanted praise from her elder sister, and she was just saying to her what she had said to someone else.

"The final competition begins."

After Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze from Ying Huanhuan, he spoke softly. The master of Hongya Cave, who was standing next to him, also had a rather bad look on his face. He sat next to him without saying a word.

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhen, the last male disciple in Hongya Cave who had not yet taken action, had to step forward and walk to the middle. After scanning Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan, his eyes finally fell on Lin Dong.

Although Lin Dong had mastered the Great Desolate Sutra, compared to Ying Xiaoxiao, who had mastered the Heavenly Emperor Sutra and had reached the peak of the Ninth Element Nirvana Realm, and Wang Yan, who was extremely powerful, taciturn, and looked difficult to mess with, Huo Zhen naturally chose Lin Dong, who was only at the Sixth Element Nirvana Realm, as his opponent.

Facing Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan, Huo Zhen was almost certain to lose, but against Lin Dong, Huo Zhen was still somewhat confident. Moreover, if he could win, he would be a peerless genius who could defeat the Great Desolate Sutra in the future!

"Hey, Lin Dong, that guy seems to look down on you. What do you say? Do you want to beat him up?"

When Huang Wu saw Huo Zhen set his sights on Lin Dong, he immediately started to fan the flames, causing Lin Dong to twitch his lips.

However, facing Huo Zhen's challenge, Lin Dong was not afraid at all and walked straight forward.

The Lord of Hongya Cave looked at Lin Dong, whose strength was only at the Sixth Element Nirvana Realm. A strange look flashed across his eyes, and then he spoke softly.

"I guess this person is the legendary genius who has mastered the Great Desolate Scripture. After Zhou Tong, there is another peerless genius in the Desolate Palace. Is this Lin Dong? Your clan is really full of talented people!"

"My Dao Sect is just a small sect, and we can't say that we have produced many talented people."

Lin Xuan responded softly, then raised his hand to pick up the teacup beside him, took a sip, then fixed his eyes on the two people in the field and spoke softly.

"Today I should have the opportunity to see your sect's Hongyadong Sutra."

"The Sword Master is quite confident!"

The master of Hongya Cave said this with a smile, but his eyes darkened slightly as he spoke, with a hint of coldness in them.

Huo Zhen is at the peak of the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm, but in Lin Xuan's words, to deal with a kid who is only at the Six Yuan Nirvana Realm, he actually needs to use his strongest martial arts. Isn't this a bit of a disdain for Hongya Cave?

"If what you said is true, then Lin Xuan is indeed very confident!"

Lin Xuan gently put down the teacup in his hand and responded lightly, which made the master of Hongya Cave look even more unhappy. He just snorted coldly but did not say anything.

In the field, Lin Dong and Huo Zhen stood opposite each other.

"Hongyadong, Huo Zhen!"

“Desolate Palace, Lin Dong!”

After Lin Dong and Huo Zhen simply introduced themselves, they activated their internal energy without any hesitation.

"boom!"

Huo Zhen paused as a powerful wave of energy suddenly surged out from his body, transforming into a rolling pressure that enveloped Lin Dong.

"Just some children's tricks, nothing more, huh!"

Lin Dong snorted lightly, and then the Yuanli in his body swept out, not wanting to be outdone, and directly blocked Huo Zhen's Yuanli fluctuations.

The next moment, Lin Dong raised his finger and pointed at Huo Zhen.

"Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Finger! Take my finger first!"

In this desolate atmosphere, there were actually traces of ancient aura spreading in the sky. Then, there seemed to be a rustling sound of footsteps, and then, a majestic light and shadow appeared in the space.

The moment that ray of light appeared, an indescribable powerful aura emanated from the void. Under that aura, Chen Zhen, Qi Lei and the others all changed their expressions slightly.

"That's... the Great Wild King!"

Looking up and gazing at the figure, Chen Zhen and the others were all filled with surprise and murmured in a low voice. Qi Lei on the side also nodded slightly and responded softly.

"It should be that ancient powerful man!"

The master of Hongya Cave who was sitting there, his pupils shrank slightly when he saw the Great Wilderness King. Then, his gaze fixed on Lin Dong, as if he wanted to see something, and he exclaimed in admiration.

"What a talent! This kind of spiritual martial arts may already have the power of heavenly martial arts!"

With the eyesight of the master of Hongya Cave, he could naturally see that the light and shadow was no longer an ordinary martial arts spirit. It could be regarded as a remnant spirit, and its power had also been greatly enhanced.

With such strength, it would not be so easy for Huo Zhen to continue. He might even be forced out of Hongya Cave. As the chief disciple of Hongya Cave, he was forced to use his unique skills by a disciple of Dao Sect who was in the Six Yuan Nirvana Realm. To be honest, this was a really ugly loss.

Facing Lin Dong's finger, Huo Zhen's expression changed slightly. The next moment, violent energy surged out of his body like waves. Huo Zhen's movements were not slow either. He took a step and punched Lin Dong.

"Dongshan Fist!"

Looking at Huo Zhen who was rushing towards him, Lin Dong's expression was a little strange. He didn't expect that the guy opposite him would be so "straightforward" and directly fight with him in close combat. Even Yan couldn't help laughing.

“This guy, is there something wrong with his brain? Lin Dong, get him. Even if you cripple him, the Sword Master will back him up!”

At the same time, the giant finger also rushed towards Huo Zhen. Under Huo Zhen's punch, the attack of the light and shadow also paused slightly.

"boom!"

Powerful energy fluctuations swept in all directions, and Lin Dong pointed his finger again, and the light and shadow once again raised its finger and pointed at Huo Zhen.

Huo Zhen's expression changed slightly, and Yuanli burst out from his fist, swinging towards the light and shadow. However, at the same time that Huo Zhen forced the light and shadow back with a punch, Lin Dong was already waving a pair of arms covered with dragon scales towards Huo Zhen.

Facing Lin Dong's punch, Huo Zhen's pupils widened instantly. He raised his fist and charged directly at Lin Dong's green dragon arm.

"boom!"

The moment the two huge fists collided, Huo Zhen only felt a huge force coming from his arms, and then Huo Zhen involuntarily took several steps back.

Although Lin Dong was shocked by this force and his attack was blocked, it only lasted for a moment. Afterwards, he swung his arms again and punched Huo Zhen one after another.

Since practicing the Blue Sky Dragon Art, Lin Dong has used his spiritual treasures much less. Otherwise, he would not have given the sword to Ying Huanhuan so decisively.

Punch after punch landed, causing Huo Zhen's face to turn red, and the circulation of his internal energy was somewhat hindered. Obviously, this kind of close combat was not Huo Zhen's forte.

Huo Zhen originally just thought that with his greater strength, he could easily suppress Lin Dong after getting close to him, making it difficult for Lin Dong to use the Great Desolate Barrenness Sutra.

But what Huo Zhen didn't expect was that Lin Dong was so good at close combat, and the result turned out like this. It was exactly the opposite. Originally, they didn't want Lin Dong to use the Great Desolate Sutra, but now it was Huo Zhen himself who couldn't use the Hongyadong Sutra.

"boom!"

After another punch was thrown out and Huo Zhen was repelled, Lin Dong's eyes flashed, and then he changed his fist into a palm and slapped Huo Zhen.

"The Great Desolate Prisoner of Heaven's Hand!"

Lin Dong shouted in a deep voice, and as the shout fell, the light and shadow actually merged directly into Lin Dong's body. Then, a layer of light and shadow emerged on his palm, and together with Lin Dong, he slapped down towards Huo Zhen.

Huo Zhen wanted to resist, but it was too late. He could only barely use the energy in his body to form a barrier in front of him.

"boom!"

Under Huo Zhen's horrified gaze, the barrier, under the palm covered with dragon scales and dragon skin, only lasted for less than a breath before it shattered with a loud bang.

Then, that ferocious dragon claw, with fierce momentum, hit Huo Zhen's chest hard.

"Oh!"

The moment the dragon palm fell, Huo Zhen's figure flew out like a cannonball, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The moment Huo Zhen flew out, the eyes of the Lord of Hongya Cave condensed slightly, and the fluctuations of Yuanli in his body quickly subsided.

Lin Dong glanced at Huo Zhen, who was lying among the rubble, his chest stained with tattered clothes and blood, then turned around and saluted Lin Xuan, Chen Zhen and the others.

"My disciple has fulfilled his mission!"

Lin Xuan was just about to nod, but the next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly and he glanced at Huo Zhen who was lying in the rubble.

At this moment, Huo Zhen sat up from the ground and looked at Lin Dong's back. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. Then, he waved his sleeves and a cold light shot out instantly, heading straight for Lin Dong's neck.

However, what Huo Zhen did not expect was that the moment he made his move, Lin Dong had already turned around and crushed the cold light with one hand. Then, Huo Zhen's pupils shrank, and in front of him, Lin Dong's figure suddenly disappeared.

The master of Hongya Cave, who was sitting there, changed his expression slightly when he saw this, and in the next moment, he disappeared from the chair.

Huo Zhen, with alarm bells ringing in his heart, raised his hand and slapped his side, but was caught by a palm covered with green dragon scales. Looking at the young face that suddenly appeared, Huo Zhen felt a chill in his heart. He did not expect that Lin Dong actually wanted to kill him and dared to kill him!
This is a martial arts competition between sects. How dare Lin Dong do this?

"You dare!"

At this moment, a loud shout was heard, and Huo Zhen's originally pale face subconsciously showed a smile.

But the next moment, Huo Zhen's expression changed again. He looked at Lin Dong's cold and ruthless eyes in disbelief. Then, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the sharp claws that pierced his chest.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

As soon as the Hongya Cave Lord's roar was heard, a very calm and understated voice was heard by everyone.

"Killing is done with the sword in your hand, not with the mouth that speaks!"

After hearing these words, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile a little more. He quickly activated the Devouring Ancestral Talisman in his body, preparing to absorb the spiritual energy in Huo Zhen's body.

“Lin Dong, stop, don’t use the Devouring Ancestral Talisman!”

The moment Lin Dong used the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, Yan's somewhat anxious voice sounded in Lin Dong's mind, scaring Lin Dong so much that he stopped immediately.

However, at this moment, the master of Hongya Cave's eyes flashed slightly, and after slapping Lin Xuan's sword with one palm, he immediately distanced himself from Lin Xuan.

"Sword Saint, what is the meaning of you Dao Sect disciples killing my Hongya Cave disciples?"

The master of Hongya Cave retreated a distance, looked at Lin Xuan coldly, and questioned him in a cold voice. However, facing the questioning of the master of Hongya Cave, Lin Xuan just responded softly.

"so what?"

"伱......"

The master of Hongya Cave's face darkened. Lin Xuan's answer made him not know how to respond for a moment. At that moment, he could only snort coldly.

"I, Hongyadong, originally came to pay my respects to Dao Zong so that I could ask for advice. Now, your disciples of Dao Zong killed my disciples of Hongyadong on the spot during the competition. Shouldn't the Sword Saint give an explanation? Or is Dao Zong now acting like Yuan Zong in the past, acting tyrannically and wantonly killing disciples of other sects without asking for reasons?"

“Haha, Cave Master, you are joking. Just now, you all saw it. It was your sect’s disciple who launched a sneak attack first, so Lin Dong counterattacked just now.”

Lin Xuan didn't say anything, but just held the sword in his hand and blocked the master of Hongya Cave. After Chen Zhen received his gaze, he quickly stood up and said with a smile.

“Cave Master, you don’t know that this disciple of mine from the Desolate Palace fought his way up from the Hundred Dynasties War. He has a stronger murderous nature. During the Hundred Dynasties War, he was nicknamed the Killer Embryo. Just now, after being defeated, your disciple launched a sneak attack, which angered Lin Dong. Lin Dong overreacted and accidentally killed your disciple.”

"In a competition, victory or defeat depends on one's own ability. Moreover, the Sword Saint just reminded us that the purpose is to exchange ideas and realize one's own shortcomings. After being defeated, your disciples secretly tried to kill. I wonder if the cave master should give my Dao Sect an explanation?"

After Chen Zhen came forward to defend Lin Dong and helped Lin Dong to exonerate himself, Qi Lei also stood up and questioned the master of Hongya Cave with a smile. Moreover, his words were all well-reasoned and made the master of Hongya Cave furious.

But the master of Hongya Cave was helpless. After all, it was Huo Zhen who launched the sneak attack first. Even if he died, it was his own fault. In fact, Hongya Cave had to give Dao Zong an explanation for his sneak attack. Otherwise, Dao Zong would force him to stay...

"Did Hongyadong come here to pay respects to the mountain, or to challenge our Dao Sect?"

The Lord of Hongya Cave looked at Lin Xuan who was speaking, and his heart sank. He thought to himself, as expected, Dao Zong really wanted to take this opportunity to make trouble. He was even afraid that this Sword Saint wanted to force him to stay!
"Sword Saint, you are joking. This time it was my fault, Hongyadong, for not teaching my disciples well. I hereby apologize to Dao Zong and Sword Saint!"

Looking at the long sword in Lin Xuan's hand that was emitting a cold sword energy, the master of Hongya Cave had to force a smile and explained softly.

"Huo Zhen disobeyed the sect's order and attempted to harm others during the competition. From now on, he will be expelled from Hongya Cave!"

　I'm sorry, I was pulled to work all night the day before yesterday, and worked until yesterday morning. I haven't recovered yet and I can't hold it any longer.

　　But everything will be fine after the Dragon Boat Festival, go go go!!
　　good night!
