A Niang said to be careful of those fairies!

Chapter 42: Fighting with Killing Moves

"This..." Some sharp-eyed geniuses in the field of Taoism looked at each other in disbelief.

That seemed to be some kind of exquisite rune secret technique, right? And the aura was so unique.

The speed exceeded the peak and it was difficult to see clearly, but some disciples had already confirmed that Lin Xuan was a genius in the field of Taoism. How old was he? How come his physique, magic, and soul were so amazing?

In the crowd, Zhao Kaiping crossed his arms and had a fanatical look in his eyes. He had already abandoned Su Xindie and was staring at the young man on the stage. He muttered to himself, "You are more suitable to be my opponent than Su Xindie, that stupid woman!"

He turned and left the crowd. Tomorrow, it would be their turn to fight!

On the martial arts stage, Lin Xuan's breath became steady. Defeating Su Xindie meant that he had won all nine battles. Even if he lost the last 20% of the duels tomorrow, he would still make a profit in the final settlement of sect points.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure suddenly dropped. Who understands, ladies? Being in debt is so disgusting.

Among the crowd watching the battle on the mountain, some disciples were dejected. They were disappointed by Su Xindie's defeat. The image of the goddess was shattered. This year, only Zhao Kaiping and Lin Xuan were left to compete.

Why didn't the two men become women? Why is there more masculine men than feminine women in Xuannv Palace this year?! Some male and even female disciples who joined Xuannv Palace for the beauty were extremely disappointed at this moment.

It lasted until dark and late at night, and the seals of the martial arts stages on the remote mountain peaks were closed one after another.

The disciples left one after another. The inner gate was vast, covering more than two thousand miles. In addition to a few famous main peaks, the disciples' caves were scattered all over the place, with various styles, some simple, some luxurious and complete.

There is a small bamboo building on the top of a hill more than a thousand miles away from Xuannv Peak. A man as strong as an iron tower stepped into the bamboo building, and the luminous stones hanging on the wall lit up synchronously.

"Su Xindie is half a level weaker than me. It's less stressful to be her opponent. A new strong man has finally emerged this year. He is the one entrusted by those guys. It's doubtful that I can win against Lin Xuan tomorrow."

Zhao Kaiping sat cross-legged on a cushion in the main hall, pinching his chin and muttering to himself. Before the inner sect competition began, a group of people entrusted him to defeat Lin Xuan and humiliate Lin Xuan, and finally make some small insulting gestures.

After watching the battle today, Zhao Kaiping's confidence in crushing Lin Xuan became zero, and his confidence in defeating Lin Xuan also went from 100% to an unknown. Without the strength to crush him, it would be a pipe dream to try any tricks.

"We'll see how the situation develops. I feel like Lin Xuan has a backup plan and he won't be able to get the benefits promised by that group of people." Zhao Kaiping sighed. There are so many heroes in the world, and he can't be invincible just based on the group of true disciples of the sect.

The next day, at noon, outside a martial arts arena on a remote mountain peak, there was a huge crowd of people, attracting everyone's attention.

Lin Xuan defeated the tenth disciple, but that disciple felt he was no match for him and admitted defeat after three or two rounds. Then it was the turn of the last and strongest enemy, the swordsman, Zhao Kaiping!

Watching from the sidelines, it was obvious that the two opponents had a huge physical disparity. Lin Xuan's physique had not fully grown, while Zhao Kaiping was tall and strong, like the difference between a beast and a baby.

None of the disciples watching the fight thought that Lin Xuan would definitely lose, because in the world of immortal cultivation, strength is not judged by body size, and Lin Xuan had already proved his strength in nine battles over three days.

The two men immediately grasped their weapons, became wary of each other, and rotated around the center of the field.

"Junior brother, why are you so timid today? You should rush over and knock me down with three punches and two kicks."

"Brother, don't treat me as a fool. You have a knife in your hand. If I get close to you, what if you hack me to death?" Lin Xuan spoke, his eyes changed instantly, and he slashed out with sword energy to meet the incoming knife light, and the two fought and shattered each other.

The method of sword energy is recorded in detail in the Tiangong Sword Art, and the strongest sword itself often relies on sword energy to be performed, so when Zhao Kaiping suddenly slashed out a blade of light, he immediately reacted and slashed out sword energy to meet the attack.

Both of them were cautiously testing the waters, and before they knew it they had already circled the center of the venue several times.

"Junior brother, how about this? You let me step on you twice and beat your face until it's swollen. I will admit defeat immediately to avoid tragic casualties between you and me. In this way, you get the inside and I get the face."

"Brother, are you dreaming? If I do as you say, what's the difference between winning and losing?"

Outside the arena, the disciples watching were muttering, "What is this grandson of Zhao Kaiping waiting for?"

"Zhao Kaiping, you bastard, why are you so scared? Go ahead and beat him!" A disciple shouted in dissatisfaction.

"You are the bastard, your whole family is bastards, if you can do it, go ahead, what's wrong with Brother Zhao being cautious?!"

"Of course I can go, the sect just won't let me. Brother Zhao, you old woman are pretending to be young, it's disgusting to me!"

"Who are you calling an old woman? You old loser, how old are you and still wasting your time in middle age?"

"What do you know? I'm just waiting for the right time to make a breakthrough. You're really an old woman, your brain is rotten!"

“Ahhhhh!! I’m going to tear your lousy mouth apart! You old loser, do you dare to fight me?!”

A war of words broke out, and the two disciples who were in conflict instantly had the urge to compete with each other. The sect did not allow private fights, but allowed challenges. The duel must be witnessed by the elders. A disciple with a higher level could challenge a disciple with a lower level, and the latter could refuse, or if they were busy with trivial matters, they could also refuse.

On the martial arts stage, Lin Xuan and Zhao Kaiping were not paying attention to anything else, and were both contemplating how to deal with the other side.

Zhao Kaiping also practiced body training, but his body training technique was only of the Xuan level. At the same time, his mind was occupied by the Star Sword Technique, so his physical training was only at the eleventh level, one level weaker than Lin Xuan's.

If he gets some opportunity to refine his body, he might have a chance to catch up with his magical power.

"Junior brother, how about we decide the outcome with one move? We are similar in physical strength, and Taoism cannot break through the defense of the flesh. Why not use the strongest killing move and decide the outcome with one strike."

In previous years, Su Xindie's methods were strange and Zhao Kaiping had to fight with her. This year, he wanted to have a good fight with her using all her special skills. If all his special skills failed, there would be no need to continue fighting.

Zhao Kaiping took a deep breath, raised his sword and pointed it at the sky, his eyes were determined, and the sky seemed to be parted by an invisible hand, revealing an endless starry sky, with brilliant and tiny starlight scattered and attached to the blade.

The sword is already sharp and strong, and with the addition of starlight, it has an even more unique and heavy starry charm.

Zhao Kaiping did not use the tone of negotiation, but rather of notification, leaving no room for maneuver.

"This sword borrows power from the stars in the sky, so you must catch it, junior brother!" Zhao Kaiping's body was stained with the light of the stars. Seeing this, Lin Xuan's face was solemn. He immediately swung his sword and performed the Heavenly Sword Dance.

An extremely dangerous aura gradually rose from Zhao Kaiping's body. The noisy crowd instantly became quiet. The disciples in the Yongquan stage felt their scalps tingling, and they actually smelled a hint of danger!

In comparison, Lin Xuan's sword dance was graceful and weak, as if it could be easily damaged.

"Zhao Kaiping has used his ultimate move! Junior Brother Lin Xuan's moves are not simple either, they contain huge energy, I can vaguely feel it!"

"You two stop arguing! Today you two are going to fight with your ultimate moves."

"Who will be the Rookie of the Year this year? I'm really looking forward to it."

Lin Xuan's sword dance was full of charm, and the sword energy dissipated silently like a dance.

Chapter 43: Brutal Fight

The power of magic power and blood was fully burning, brewing divine power for the strongest sword. His soul, magic power, and blood reached the peak, causing Zhao Kaiping to slowly sense the extreme crisis.

For top strongmen at the same level, only a special move can counter a special move. This has been the case for the entire world of immortal cultivation. No matter how many methods you have, it is actually best to only use them to protect your special moves and take the path to the extreme.

Of all the means, it is best to use a special move, or to avoid the special move of a strong enemy, so as to gain room to breathe and counterattack.

Despite the power of the formation, the disciples watching the battle still felt a chill. Among them, the disciples in the early stage of Yongquan felt it most deeply. They smelled danger from the younger generations in a lower realm!

"Is this the method used by a top genius? So scary, so powerful!"

"Great! Great! Now that I can see this kind of confrontation, it doesn't matter if I lose the bet today!"

At this moment, Zhao Kaiping was covered in starlight, with a devastating blade. The sword energy fluctuations were visible to the naked eye within two feet of Lin Xuan. His will and momentum were gathering, just like two fierce dragons crossing the river and confronting each other!

Zhao Kaiping's eyes were also stained with starlight, and his pupils became deep. He grinned and said, "Junior brother, this sword borrows the power of thousands of stars. It is extremely strong and powerful. Don't underestimate it. If you can't catch it, something bad will happen!"

"I don't underestimate this move, just use all your strength." Lin Xuan's tone was calm, and his sword dance speed was getting faster and faster. He had already used most of his strength, and this sword was stronger than ever before!

"Hmph, let's see who laughs last!" Zhao Kaiping pinched an explosive pill and borrowed some power from the stars.

At the side of the martial arts arena, Elder Jindan shook his head helplessly. These two little guys were playing too big. If she didn't take action, she would easily die. If she took action, she would easily run into trouble in judging the winner.

It takes time to accumulate power for a special move. It is only a long time compared to the ever-changing battle situation between cultivators. In fact, it is only a dozen breaths, and the audience outside the venue will hold their breath for a while.

Swish! Someone made a slight sound as they chopped apart. Both of them simultaneously delivered their strongest blows. The blade light stained with starlight and the sword energy carrying a powerful momentum collided in the center of the field in an instant.

Because of the diagonal chop from top to bottom, the two crossed into a cross when they were in a stalemate in the middle.

The sounds and lights were all absorbed by the two fatal strikes in the stalemate. The pale sky in late January was suddenly absorbed and turned into darkness, and at this time, the aftermath flew outwards.

Zizi! The light curtain of the formation was struck, causing ripples and a melting sound.

"Hiss! I saw blood oozing out of Lin Xuan and Zhao Kaiping. How brutal!"

"Nonsense, these two great gods both have the hope of reaching the legendary thirteenth level, so of course the battle between the great gods is brutal."

"It's just hopeful. Every hundred years, Xuannv Palace produces many geniuses with this kind of reputation, but the most powerful ones are only perfect at the twelfth level, and there are only a few who can truly step into the thirteenth level."

Without the follow-up support, the two ultimate moves shattered into countless fragments after a moment of confrontation, barely maintaining the form of sword light and sword energy, and passed through each other's gaps to pounce on the performer behind them.

At the moment when the sword energy and knife light shattered, Lin Xuan and Zhao Kaiping both felt something. The latter sneered, and a layer of light film suddenly appeared on his body surface, which was the method of body refining to protect himself!

After the two ultimate strikes consumed the opponent's remaining moves, anyone could see that Lin Xuan's sword energy still had a stronger power left, while the blade's light was only 30% of the power of the remaining sword energy!

Zhao Kaiping sighed, realizing that he had lost the fight with his strongest means, so he should fight to see who would have the last laugh.

The blade light came towards him, and although it had been broken into fragments and was only 30% of the power of his own sword energy, it still made him feel creepy and his body surface was slightly stinging.

As if being tortured to death, the skin and flesh produced the illusion of being cut into pieces. Logically, one should use the most skills to resist at this moment, or avoid important parts to preserve combat power.

But Lin Xuan chose to resist with his body, and was only seriously injured. He had a hunch that the remaining half of the knife would not be fatal!

He looked at Zhao Kaiping, whose body was completely covered by a light red film. In the next period of time, he had to master a self-defense method. He would always be passive if he kept using his physical body to resist.

After unleashing the strongest sword, there was still some aftereffect left. Lin Xuan's eyes turned red. He still had some powerful moves hidden. His magic power and blood burned again, and his thirsty sword intent quickly condensed.

Zhao Kaiping frowned. The surging aura from Lin Xuan made him uneasy. Does this kid still have some energy left?

How is this possible? He had clearly just burned up his strength to use his ultimate move, and his ultimate move was about to hit him. It was impossible for him to break his protective divine rainbow by casting another spell in such a hurry. What trick was he trying to play?

"Take another sword from me!" Lin Xuan roared, and thrust out another sword, slashing out a sword energy. Its power was only 30% of the previous trick, but it was equally powerful. It was his last trump card, an instantaneous and strongest sword!

"Shit!" Zhao Kaiping cursed. How could this kid be able to strike out with such powerful sword energy without any preparation? !

It was already difficult enough for him to use the protective divine rainbow to offset the remaining power of the fatal sword energy, and then another powerful sword energy followed. Wouldn't this sword take half of his life?

The duel of ultimate moves had already been lost, and Zhao Kaiping knew that the remaining power of his sword was only enough to seriously injure Lin Xuan. He had intended to retain more strength, but now, he had made a wrong move!

Swish! Bang! Puff! In just half a second, both of them were hit by the ultimate move. Lin Xuan was hit by the sword light and his skin and flesh were cut off in a large area. Blood flowed like a pillar, and the bones were visible!

Zhao Kaiping's prediction was correct. The protective divine rainbow blocked the first sword energy and the remaining sword energy shattered. He analyzed in an instant that he was weak in the level of his martial arts!

The second sword strike was even more powerful than the first one, and it completely hit his waist and abdomen.

Lin Xuan stood stubbornly where he was, already covered in blood. Zhao Kaiping flew backwards and crashed into the light curtain of the formation, almost being cut in half. He was badly injured, with half of his upper and lower body separated!

Outside the field, the Jindan elder retracted her magical tentacles. Just now, she weakened the power of the second sword energy, otherwise Zhao Kaiping would have been cut off. Obviously, Lin Xuan won this battle.

In the crowd, Su Xindie swallowed her saliva. These two guys were really ruthless! She looked at Lin Xuan with a look of distress in her eyes. Don't let him get disfigured!

Facts have proved that, thanks to the strong physique and the magical properties bestowed upon the body by the body-refining techniques, the powerful self-healing ability of the monks will quickly take effect as long as they do not die on the spot.

Zhao Kaiping took one last breath and coughed up blood. He took out a healing pill from his storage bag. The large incision in the middle of his waist and abdomen would take several days to heal on its own.

"I did lose. I was weaker and lost to someone younger than me!" Zhao Kaiping sighed while coughing up blood. The defeat in this battle was a bigger blow than the many defeats to Su Xindie.

So far, Lin Xuan has won all eleven battles, and he has secured the position of the first disciple of the inner sect in the Qi Refining Stage! Infinitely close to the thirteenth level, the latest generation of Xuannv Palace has not yet produced a true thirteenth level genius.

Chapter 44: Qi Refining Magic Medicine

In addition to testing and urging disciples to practice, the inner sect's small-scale competitions also serve to verify the disciples' strength and calibrate the sect's rankings. The sect will issue additional rewards based on the rankings.

Although the leader of the Qi Refining Stage disciples was ranked thousands of places away after being incorporated into the sect's overall rankings, due to his special nature, the sect's rewards were much more generous than those for the higher-ranking Yongquan Stage disciples.

The top three and top ten of a sect list in a single realm are quite special. In the middle of Yusun Mountain, in a luxurious cave, a blood-pumping song resounded. The fairy with a cold and noble temperament raised her eyebrows when she walked into the entrance of the cave, and heard a shameful movement.

She snorted and strode into the cave. Seeing several fleshworms fighting, she sneered, "You're great, kid. You fought so fiercely that day, but you're full of energy and enjoying yourself with a beauty so soon?"

"Ah!" The beauty screamed in fright. She was so scared when a stranger broke in while she was having fun with her husband!

Shu Yixiang quickly put on her clothes and bowed respectfully, "Palace Master."

Dongxue and Zhang Miaotong were shocked and hurriedly tidied their appearance. The master of Xuannv Palace and the head of the Great Holy Land had a very high status, and they were really scared when he showed up in person.

"Well, no need to be polite. You can leave first." Chang He lowered her eyebrows and sent the three women away. Only Lin Xuan and her were left in the main hall. The good thing was interrupted, and the former looked resentful and depressed.

"You're still upset, it's time to give it a good beating!" She raised her eyebrows and stretched out her white jade hand. She bent her fingers and hit Lin Xuan's head three times with the back of her hand. There were three crisp sounds, "dong dong dong", which sounded good, indicating a good start.

"Ouch, it hurts!" Lin Xuan cried out in pain, covering his head. These three blows were more painful than the bloody skin and flesh being cut off a few days ago.

"You were lucky enough not to ask me for permission when you held the companion ceremony last time. You deserve to be punished!" Chang He sneered. Seeing Lin Xuan's painful expression, she was secretly delighted in her heart.

"My dear, Sister Xiang'er and the others said that they only wanted to invite friends of the same generation. I thought of asking my mother to come and take a look as well." Lin Xuan covered his head with his hands, feeling very aggrieved. When he explained to her, he automatically ignored his own considerations at the time. At that time, he felt that my mother was the closest to him and he must invite her to the scene.

"What's wrong with inviting me? I'm not your mother? I'm loving you in vain." Chang He rolled her eyes.

Lin Xuan didn't dare to reply. How could he dare to say that he thought the girl he met halfway was still a half-stranger? He had a premonition that if he told the truth, he would be punished by the girl and miss out on some good things.

His eyes wandered, and he changed the subject: "Little girl, what's the matter that brought you here in person?"

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Chang He said with a sidelong glance, she was very angry. She hadn't summoned him for several months, but he was playing tricks on her. This boy made her feel annoyed again.

"No! My dear sister, we love each other and you can come anytime." Lin Xuan hurriedly put on a flattering look and moved a chair to her left. The bed was a mess at the moment, for fear of irritating her nose.

"Well, you are a sensible boy." Chang He narrowed her eyes, and her concern was a recognition of Lin Xuan's achievement: "It took a lot of effort to build this cave, right? It can make your mother feel at ease."

"You've got a family and a career. Senior Sister should be very relieved. She has raised you to this age. It's time for you to make a difference. I came to you today to discuss the rewards for the inner sect competition. This year, you have done me a great favor and topped the list of the Qi Refining Stage. According to convention, you should have been rewarded with three Qi Refining Spiritual Pills. I'll make the decision and give you Qi Refining Magic Medicine instead."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly like a little leg: "Thank you for the reward, young lady, young lady is so generous!"
