"Slap! Slap!"

The whips flashed like a tapestry, and the air crackled with constant explosions.

Su Yu used the Swaying Step to dodge the long whip attack and then tried to get close to Lin Jing's side.

However, that purple-gold whip was far too cunning, sometimes strong and sometimes gentle, striking east and west at will. Whenever Su Yu tried to get close, the tip of the whip would strike his brow or throat like a venomous snake, forcing him to retreat.

An inch longer, an inch stronger—the ancients were right.

Su Yu took a deep breath, gaining a deeper understanding of how difficult this soft weapon was to deal with.

The next moment, Su Yu changed his strategy. Facing the relentless attacks of the purple-gold whip, he dodged continuously while moving rapidly around Lin Jing.

Lin Jing scoffed disdainfully, thinking that finding a weakness in her Purple Gold Whip was not so easy.

"A murky wave, a serpent's shadow dances!"

In an instant, dozens of whip shadows appeared simultaneously, indistinguishable from reality, like a huge silver net that covered Su Yu from all sides, sealing off all his escape routes!

Faced with the impenetrable barrage of whip shadows, Su Yu finally unleashed the power of the Ink Abyss in his hand.

"The Demonic Ape Dances!"

He gripped the hilt of the Mo Yuan sword tightly with both hands, his blood and qi surging like a river, and his spine tensed instantly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy black blade traced a dark path through the air, each strike heavier than the last, like a raging tide crashing against the shore.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The blade and the soft whip clashed repeatedly, sparks flying. The seemingly impenetrable whip shadow was actually cleaved open by these three violent strikes, forcing the purple-gold whip back!

"Excellent tactic!"

Lin Jing felt a tingling sensation in her hand, but instead of being alarmed, she was delighted.

"Try this trick of mine again!"

Using the force of the recoil, she spun around, her long whip trailing behind her, gathering all her strength in a spiral at the tip of the whip.

"Thunder Whip!"

"Smack!!!"

A thunderous explosion made the onlookers' eardrums ache.

The soft whip instantly straightened like a spear, carrying a terrifying speed that broke the sound barrier, and stabbed straight at Su Yu's chest!

This Thunder Whip technique concentrates all its power at the tip of the whip, making it incredibly powerful. Even a martial artist at the Skin Tempering Realm would have their flesh instantly ripped apart if struck by this blow!

As the long whip approached and grew larger, a sharp glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes!

"Now!"

This was the moment he had been waiting for. Although the long whip attack was powerful, it was also a one-way trip. It was the perfect time for him to counterattack!

"A thunderous collapse!"

He slightly bent his knees, and his blood and energy instantly flowed into the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of his feet, causing his tendons to snap like a fully drawn bow.

"Snap!"

The hard bluestone slab underfoot cracked instantly.

Using this terrifying recoil, Su Yu's figure seemed to shrink to an inch, disappearing from the spot. In the blink of an eye, only a spiderweb-like gap remained, spreading outwards in concentric circles.

Unsurprisingly, Lin Jing's deadly whip struck empty air, creating a thunderous explosion.

But it made her heart skip a beat, and a chill ran down her spine.

"not good!"

Just as she was about to retract her whip and defend herself, she discovered that a tall, slender figure had suddenly appeared within three feet of her!

"Subdue the demon and split the mountain!"

Su Yu raised his longsword high with both hands, the black blade gleaming with silver starlight, and with the force of Mount Tai crashing down, he slashed down with a thunderous roar!

Su Yu didn't hold back at all in this move. Lin Jing's whip technique was tricky and elusive, which was very effective against his hard and straightforward swordsmanship. Getting close to her wouldn't be easy.

This is the moment to decide the outcome of the battle!

Seeing that she couldn't turn around in time with the long whip in her hand, Lin Jing could only dodge with her body.

She showed no panic, displaying astonishing flexibility. She arched her back into an exaggerated plank bridge shape, while her toes touched the ground, and her body slid to the side like a slippery fish.

"call!"

The heavy blade grazed her nose, severing a lock of her hair.

"Boom!"

The long sword struck the ground, sending shards of stone flying and dust billowing up, leaving a deep gash several inches deep in the ground!

Everyone watched in horror, their hearts pounding and cold sweat pouring down their backs.

From the moment Su Yu dodged the thunderous strike of the purple-gold whip to the instant he closed in on Lin Jing and unleashed this domineering mountain-splitting move, only a few breaths passed before they finally reacted.

Before everyone could catch their breath, Su Yu flicked his wrist, and the Mo Yuan sword in his hand was flipped over. The brilliant blade light instantly transformed into a pool of autumn water, drawing a perfect crescent arc in mid-air.

"To reach for the stars with the reach of an ape!"

This strike, while lacking the domineering power of a demon-slaying, mountain-splitting strike, was full of agility, beauty, and lethality.

The blade followed like a shadow, catching up with Lin Jing, who was trying to create distance, in the blink of an eye.

"puff!"

Another strand of hair fell.

Mo Yuan's sharp, abyss-like blade rested steadily beside her fair, slender neck.

The gleaming blade was less than a millimeter from her skin. A bead of blood slid silently down the blade, like a dewdrop after rain, carrying a hint of resentment, slowly falling off the blade and never to return.

The training ground was deathly silent.

"Glug."

All that could be heard was someone swallowing hard.

All the Lin family members looked at that tall, slender figure with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

Domineering like thunder, agile like an ape.

His terrifying swordsmanship had completely stunned them.

The next moment, the crowd erupted in a clamor, with various voices of discussion rising up.

"Is this guy Su Yu? He actually beat Sister Jing!"

"The Spirit Ape Subduing Demon Blade! I know this sword technique; Sister Lin has used it!"

"A prodigy! This Su Yu is so young, yet he possesses such swordsmanship; he must be a prodigy of the White Ape Martial Arts School!"

"How reckless of me! I actually considered fighting with Su Yu!"

"Hiss—it's terrifying!"

Lin Dong took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his eyes.

He knew his sister's strength all too well. Her blood and qi were definitely not lacking when she was in the first acupoint, and with that skill of the Spirit Serpent Entwining Whip, she was rarely matched with anyone of the same level!

I never expected to lose to Su Yu so easily today.

His mind raced, wondering if he would have a chance of winning if he were to face Su Yu.

No!

Although his Zhenyue staff technique was powerful and could surpass his sister's by a margin, it was absolutely no match for the speed and swordsmanship that his sister unleashed in that instant!

No wonder Sister Lin told her and her brother to ask Su Yu for advice!

In the field.

As Lin Jing felt the chilling blade energy emanating from her neck, her eyes gradually shifted from astonishment to complexity. Recalling the stunning and terrifying two strikes just now, she knew that her defeat was not unjust, and she accepted it wholeheartedly!

"I lost, Su Yu. You're awesome!"

Seeing Lin Jing readily admit defeat, Su Yu nodded, retracted the inkstone with a clang, and said, "Thank you for your concession, I'm sorry for offending you."

At this moment, his aura was restrained, and he was as gentle as jade, showing no trace of the murderous god he had just been.

Lin Jingmei's eyes flashed with intense curiosity as she stared at Su Yu's current appearance, a stark contrast to his stunning performance in the previous battle.

"You won, but you didn't offend me. A bet's a bet!" She pulled out a silver note from her bosom and readily handed it over: "Here, this is one hundred taels."

Su Yu accepted the silver note, feeling very happy.

After a friendly sparring match, not only did he gain a lot of experience with the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade, but he also earned a hundred taels of silver, making it a good deal.

"In that case, I, Su, will go practice my boxing."

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned to leave.

Seeing Su Yu turn to leave, Lin Jing suddenly bit her lip, her voice as low as a mosquito's buzz, a complete change from her previous shrewish demeanor.

"that----"

"Is there anything else, Miss Lin?"

"Oh! It's that bet!"

Seeing his expression, Lin Jing stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, raising her voice several decibels: "We agreed on one hundred taels, and—three spanks! Do you want me to spank you here or inside?"

"Cough cough cough!"

Lin Dong, who had just walked over, froze on the spot and coughed repeatedly.

My dear sister, everyone else has stopped mentioning her, why did you bring it up yourself?

Su Yu glanced at her with some surprise, only to be glared back at by her.

"Miss Lin, that was just a joke. The bet is just one hundred taels of silver."

After saying that, he turned around and went to practice his boxing again.

"Come back here! You look down on me, don't you? I keep my word, three strokes as promised!"

Lin Jing rushed over and grabbed Su Yu's sleeve, her big, fierce eyes glaring at him.

Su Yu was pulled back by her, and the two of them were close together. A faint scent of roses and rouge wafted over them.

"To fight or not to fight?" Lin Jing puffed out her chest, standing proudly.

"Then I will make the move, Miss Lin."
