Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 36: Three Swordsmen Defeat
In the ancient tomb, in the deepest bottom hall.

Lin Xuan and Ling Qingzhu stood opposite each other. Above the sarcophagus beside them, there was an illusory elegant man, looking at them with a smile.

Ling Qingzhu held a green sword in his hand. On the sword tip, there were already extremely astonishing fluctuations of Yuanli condensed. Above the green lotus under his feet, there were also rays of clear light emerging.

Lin Xuan, who was standing opposite, stood in the air, but there was no aura fluctuation on his body, and even the nameless long sword in his hand was not unsheathed.

But Ling Qingzhu stared at Lin Xuan and did not dare to be careless at all, because, in Ling Qingzhu's perception, Lin Xuan seemed to have flaws all over his body, but the next moment, all these flaws disappeared, and when she sensed them again, the location of these flaws seemed to have changed again.

This erratic and elusive feeling made Ling Qingzhu's face gradually become solemn.

"Buzz!"

The Yuan force in her body was constantly circulating, and Ling Qingzhu was waiting for the opportunity to attack. At this time, Lin Xuan's eyes had turned into a mysterious and clear color. The circulation route of the Yuan force in Ling Qingzhu's body was completely within Lin Xuan's perception.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan's eyes focused, and the next moment, the sword was unsheathed.

"Qiang!"

The moment the sound of the sword was heard, Ling Qingzhu's eyes focused, and then he swung the sword to his side.

In the originally empty space, a sword suddenly swung out. Ling Qingzhu's sword was swung without any hesitation, decisively and sharply!

Just as the long sword cut through the air, the next moment, a pitch-black sword tip suddenly appeared, and finally, the sword tip landed precisely on the sword blade.

"Ding!"

Powerful sword energy instantly burst out from the tip of the sword, passed through the sword edge, and directly entered Ling Qingzhu's body, causing the energy in Ling Qingzhu's body to stagnate for a moment.

Not far away, the owner of the tomb who was watching the battle had a flash of shock in his eyes after seeing this sword.

Lin Xuan's sword just now actually directly shattered Ling Qingzhu's energy, causing the circulation of her energy to be blocked. Obviously, Ling Qingzhu must have suffered a hidden injury before, which is why her energy is not flowing smoothly.

However, what made the tomb owner feel even more incredible was Lin Xuan’s perception.

You know, even his soul, who was once a peak Nirvana realm powerhouse, could not sense the abnormality of the energy in Ling Qingzhu's body. He only discovered it after Lin Xuan's sword blocked Ling Qingzhu's energy.

This shows how sharp the perception of this young man is.

But then, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the tomb owner, and he stared at the tip of the sword in Lin Xuan's hand with horror.

It was seen that the originally pitch-black and edgeless sword tip gradually turned bright white under the stimulation of Lin Xuan's sword energy, and a sharp blade actually appeared at the blunt tip of the sword.

What shocked the tomb owner the most was the terrifying aura revealed by the sharp blade, which was countless times stronger than any heavenly spiritual treasure he had ever possessed.

The treasure of pure Yuan!

Ling Qingzhu, who was on the opposite side, felt even more direct and shocking. She had never thought that Lin Xuan had caught the weak point of her internal energy flow, and with one sword, she lost the ability to fight back in a short period of time. Lin Xuan looked up at the blade of the green sword in front of him, and the next moment, he turned his wrist and exerted force with his arm, directly removing the sword from Ling Qingzhu's hand.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuan did not give Ling Qingzhu a chance to breathe, and the long sword in his hand stabbed straight at the clear light rising from the ancient blue sky lotus.

"Crack!"

Under the extremely sharp tip of the sword, even the protective light of the ancient blue sky lotus was shattered in an instant.

Fortunately, the ancient green sky lotus delayed a little bit of time, allowing Ling Qingzhu to circulate the energy in her body again. When she was about to fight back, Ling Qingzhu dejectedly put down her slender hands.

Because, that part of the sword tip had silently stopped at Ling Qingzhu's chest, and the tip of the sword had turned black again. Ling Qingzhu could vaguely feel the sharpness of the sword energy.

However, this imperceptible edge made it difficult for Ling Qingzhu to breathe, because the tip of Lin Xuan's sword was facing the place where Ling Qingzhu's energy flowed the slowest, which was also the location of her heart meridian.

If the sword energy had been a little stronger, Ling Qingzhu would have suffered severe internal injuries, and even the meridians in her body would have been severed by the sword energy.

Looking up at the man whose pupils had turned dark black again, Ling Qingzhu felt a bitter taste in her mouth. After hesitating for a moment, the red lips hidden under the gauze gently opened and closed.

"I lost. How did you find out where my weakness is?"

"Miss Ling, thank you for letting me!"

After Ling Qingzhu spoke, Lin Xuan slowly put the magic sword in his hand into the scabbard, clasped his fists towards Ling Qingzhu, and then began to explain.

"The sword art that Lin Xuan practices is very sensitive to auras. Miss Ling must have made some mistakes during her practice, which caused the internal energy to not flow smoothly. That's why Lin Xuan was able to defeat Miss Ling by luck. If not, Lin Xuan would not have been able to defeat Miss Ling today."

After hearing Lin Xuan's response, Ling Qingzhu did not answer. She was naturally clear about her own situation. That abnormality was not obvious even when she was practicing on weekdays. If an outsider wanted to notice it, that level of insight would probably be enough to rival her master.

As for Lin Xuan's talk of luck, Ling Qingzhu didn't believe a word of it now. This man's mouth was always deceiving.

You know, according to the master, this slight abnormality in her body will have almost no impact before she breaks through the Wheel-Turning Realm, as long as it doesn't hurt her heart meridians.

But Lin Xuan seized on this point with his first sword, and used the sword energy directly to injure her, leaving her unable to resist. If it weren't for the ancient blue sky lotus, she would have been defeated with the second sword.

"Qingzhu lost, so he lost. This Nirvana Heart now belongs to His Excellency Sword Saint!"

Geniuses are all proud. If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to be ashamed of. If you lose, just work hard to practice, and you can win it back in the future!
If you can't accept your own failure, how can you become a strong person?
"Thank you Miss Ling!"

After Lin Xuan clasped his fists towards Ling Qingzhu, he turned around and looked at the emerald green Nirvana Heart that was emitting vitality.

However, what made Ling Qingzhu feel a little strange was that Lin Xuan did not take the Nirvana Heart immediately, but turned his head again to look at the owner of the tomb beside him. Upon seeing this, the latter also gave a strange laugh.

"The little guy has a keen sense!"
