Chapter 120 Can"t You Afford to Play With Me?“What?”
Cao Potian"s pupils suddenly contracted.
“Is he still able to make a move?”
“Isn"t the fool injured?”
Caught in great shock, Cao Potian reacted more slowly than before.
He hurriedly waved his sword to resist.
Boom!
The watery illusion dispersed.
A huge force came.
Cao Potian took a step back and was subconsciously about to change his sword style.
Fortunately, at that very moment, he controlled his own hand and did not break the rules of this game. Once he used a move other than the skill of Waters Swordplay, he would be considered to have lost.
Clang, clang, clang!
There were layers of shadows of the Duolan Sword coming at Cao Potian.
Cao Potian retreated step by step as he tried to block the attack.
His eyes were filled with killing intent.
“I don"t believe it. Lin Beichen, I"ll defeat you… Strike of Cold Water!”
He launched the hidden killing move once again.
He held the sword with both hands, stirred illusionary sounds all over the sky, rolled up a vast amount of Mystery Energy, and mercilessly chopped at Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen shouted at the same time, “Mysterious Truths – Against the Cold Water.”
The Duolan Sword in his hand was also surrounded by the sharply increased Mystery Energy. With the help of the Mystery Mark Formations attached to the sword, the sword suddenly burst into abundant flames, as if there were waves sweeping through the void. The sword, like a dragon king, went against the water and rolled up a thousand heaps of snow.
“What"s this?”
“Is this also a killing move derived from the Waters Swordplay?”
“Who"s the stronger one?”
The group of young swordsmen only felt a strong wind blowing at their faces. They felt suffocated and all stepped back, widened their eyes, and refused to miss a moment.
As was known to all, if one explored a sword skill to the extreme, he could deduce a hidden killing move on the basis of the original swordplay.
According to one"s comprehension and talent, the power of the deprived killing moves was also different.
Most of the time, the killing moves derived from the sword skill were several times more powerful than the basic skill, and its lethality was extremely terrifying.
Cao Potian"s performance of the killing move, “Strike of Cold Water”, was already shocking enough.
Yet, the power of the killing move displayed by Lin Beichen was no less powerful than Cao Potian"s.
“What kind of demon-like geniuses are these two?
“Both of them have managed to deduce a hidden killing move.
In an instant, not only the other elders, but also Bai Haiqin and Ding Sans.h.i.+ looked surprised. They suddenly stood up from their seats and looked nervously at the scene.
Boom!
It was as if two 100-meter-tall waves had collided violently.
Terrifying sound waves shook the surroundings.
The next moment—
“Ahh… ”
There was a blood-curdling scream.
A figure flew out from the battleground and crashed heavily into a big tree, breaking its trunk and bouncing back. With a splash, he fell to the ground and was in a very sorry state.
“Who is it…?”
Countless pairs of eyes instantly turned to look at this person in unison.
“Who is it?”
Countless hearts were suddenly hanging in their throats.
“Cao Potian!”
It turned out to be Cao Potian.
This G.o.d"s favored son from Baiyun City was lying on the ground, with blood spilling from his mouth and a twisted and ferocious face.
There was a sword-cut on his left cheek, which was almost open to the bone. His clothes were ripped and messy as they had been cut with swords. His limbs twitched, and he wanted to get up but finally, he flopped to the ground powerlessly with a crash.
Lin Beichen gracefully and slowly landed on the ground, like a feather in the clouds.
The winner had been decided.
Now, even a child could tell who would win and who would lose.
There was dead silence in the back garden.
Many people fell into a state of instinct dullness because the result was extremely different from the answer in everyone"s mind at the very beginning.
The girls and boys fixed their eyes on Lin Beichen.
They wanted to capture any sign of injury, panic, or struggle from this foolish black sheep"s expression or his figure.
But… No.
The faint light of the floating lamps in which Mystery Marks were attached, as well as the flickering bonfire, outlined the handsome and young man"s figure.
The young man was in a white robe, with his black hair dancing. He looked calm and stood with a sword. His body was as straight as a long sword, like a fairy swordsman down to the earth.
Under his feet, Cao Potian, whose golden hair was in a mess, couldn"t stand up.
This scene was so dazzling that it was as if it was a freeze-frame.
The elders also opened their mouths wide.
Many of them understood the true meaning of this so-called sword test—
Bai Haiqin ostentatiously came on behalf of Baiyun City to humiliate her former senior brother who was now a down-and-out old teacher at a junior college. Most of the others came there to join in the fun. They came for Bai Haiqin"s sake, and also to support her.
In the past, Ding Lei might have been a man of the hour.
Right now, Ding Sans.h.i.+ was nothing more than a sorehead that everyone could trample on.
The significance of Lin Beichen"s existence tonight was that he was merely a tool.
He was a tool who was used to humiliate Ding Sans.h.i.+.
Others didn"t expect that the tool would start to show off his might.
Thus, Cao Potian could be said to have thoroughly disgraced Bai Haiqin.
Some people unconsciously looked at Bai Haiqin.
The latter stood on the seat and looked extremely calm, even with a hint of a smile.
Nevertheless, the slightly twitching corner of his mouth reflected that the Saint of Sword, from Baiyun City, nearly collapsed.
He rushed to the field and raised his hand to help Cao Potian up.
After a check-up, he found that his favorite disciple"s injury was not so serious. It was the violent shock and force when they fought just now that caused the disorder of Mystery Energy in his body as well as some trauma. After taking a breather, Cao Potian finally breathed out a mouthful of foul air. He spat out a mouthful of blood and recovered his ability to move.
“Little brat, you hit him so hard.”
Bai Haiqin stared at Lin Beichen, with her heart filled with murderous intent.
At this time, he had to admit that his Senior Brother Ding had found another incredible talent in swordsmans.h.i.+p.
Lin Beichen"s talent and comprehension were definitely more than three times that of Cao Potian"s.
It was a thing that he absolutely couldn"t tolerate.
Being stared at by the Saint of the Sword from Baiyun City, Lin Beichen only felt his breath stop as if there was a huge mountain pressing against his chest, almost breaking his ribs and crus.h.i.+ng his heart. In an instant, his entire face went as white as a sheet.
In the distance.
In the bright eyes of Ling Chen who disguised herself as a man, there was undisguised anger.
When she was about to make a move, she was pressed by a palm on her shoulder.
Ling Wu shook his head and said, “Look.”
In the field.
When Ling Chen turned around, Ding Sans.h.i.+ had already appeared by Lin Beichen"s side.
The old teacher did not speak.
There was also no momentum released from his body.
It was as if he didn"t exist.
Still, Bai Haiqin"s aura instantly dissipated, as if it had been blown away by the wind.
Lin Beichen suddenly felt that the pressure on his body had disappeared.
He looked at Cao Potian and reached out his hand.
“What do you mean?” Cao Potian said, clenching his teeth.
“Sword,” Lin Beichen said with a faint smile.
With the help of the upgraded Intelligent Voice-activated a.s.sistant, the app of “Waters Swordplay” had paid the price of four times the usual power consumption. The app operated at a high speed and directly created the killing move “Against the Cold Water”.
This was the reason why Lin Beichen was so confident.
“You… ”
Cao Potian"s heart was filled with hatred. He gritted his teeth and threatened, “Lin Beichen, I advise you to think it over. Don"t go too far. Don"t just casually offend someone you can"t afford to offend.”
“How dare you bark after you"re defeated?”
Lin Beichen said with disdain, “Can"t you afford to play with me?”
Cao Potian said, “You… Lin Beichen, the reason why you could win is that because we"re restricted by the rules of this exam, I can"t give full play to my true strength. If I could really fight you recklessly, I have 10,000 ways to make you die without a burial place.”
Lin Beichen was too lazy to defend himself. He stretched out his hand and said, “Sword.”
“Don"t say too much.
“Give me the Heaven-Slas.h.i.+ng Sword as soon as possible.”
