Ling Jian, who was watching the battle from the side, was extremely shocked. He knew that even if he were to personally take part in the battle, he wouldn't be able to match Ling Jian at all. Thus, he couldn't help but feel a sense of competitiveness. He had to improve his cultivation to prevent his little brother from surpassing him!
In the blink of an eye, Ling Chi had already circled around Yu ManTian nineteen times like a ghost! At the same time, Yu ManTian had already received a total of fifty-seven strikes from Ling Chi! The most shocking thing was that the two swords seemed to have formed a dense net in the air, but the two swords didn't even cross once!
Yu ManTian was unable to use his own sword to clash with his opponent's sword, but Ling Chi was purposely avoiding Yu ManTian's sword. Ling Chi knew that his inner qi was far inferior to Yu ManTian's, and if he were to clash with Yu ManTian's sword, he would definitely exhaust his inner qi. Thus, he chose to use such a fast method of fighting!
Ling Chi's strategy was undoubtedly the correct one! Ling Tian looked at the fierce battle below the tree and thought to himself with admiration. To deal with Yu ManTian, who was an expert in the XianTian realm, Ling Chi's method of fighting was the most suitable method to drag out the battle! As long as Ling Chi's inner qi was able to keep up, and his movement technique was able to maintain this speed, then the first one to lose his cool would definitely be Yu ManTian! As long as Yu ManTian lost his cool, that would be the time to kill him!
However, Ling Tian could only sigh in his heart. Ling Chi's inner qi was still much weaker than Yu ManTian's. While his method was correct, with his inner qi, he would definitely not be able to last until Yu ManTian lost his cool! Thus, this battle would still be a loss for Ling Chi! However, the benefits that Ling Chi provided to the other four were immeasurable. That was because Ling Chi was demonstrating the most effective method to deal with an expert like Yu ManTian! And this method was something that Ling Feng and the other three had never thought of!
However, Ling Tian was still young after all. Even though he had lived two lives, there was still a limit to his wisdom and foresight. He had ultimately underestimated Yu ManTian. Yu ManTian was not an arrogant and conceited Nangong Tianhu. It was true that Yu ManTian was careless, but he was also a martial arts fanatic who had experienced hundreds of battles. Especially after he had entered the XianTian realm, his martial arts attainments were even higher than others. While he might be rash and reckless in normal matters, he would definitely not do so in a duel!
He was fully aware that Ling Chi's fighting style would not last long. Therefore, he patiently defended with all his might, without the slightest bit of carelessness or impatience! He was also clear that Ling Chi would not be able to keep up with him like this forever. His XianTian cultivation was definitely not something that this young man in front of him could compare to. Yu ManTian had been focused on martial arts for over thirty years, and had already entered the XianTian realm. He had long cultivated patience and confidence that ordinary people would not be able to match!
Ling Chi's movements suddenly sped up, and a series of 'ding ding ding' sounds could be heard in the air. Ling Chi's entire body followed the flow of sword light, almost turning into a ray of white light. However, Yu ManTian maintained the principle of using defense as an attack, remaining as immovable as a mountain. From afar, it was impossible to see his figure clearly! All that could be seen was a ray of white lightning revolving around a thick white light barrier, forming a small circle and charging at a high speed!
All of a sudden, Ling Chi let out a clear cry, and the white light converged as he shot into the skies! In a short period of time, Ling Chi's body was propelled upwards by the force of inertia, and without using a single bit of his strength, he had already reached a height of forty feet! His skinny body spun in mid-air, and with a tremble of his sword, it turned into countless rays of silver light that enveloped the entire sky! It was like a meteor crashing into the earth, charging towards Yu ManTian with unparalleled speed!
Ling Tian's lips curled up into a smile of praise. What a good brat! He actually took advantage of the fact that he still had some strength left to use the Nine Heavens Lightning Flash! This was definitely Ling Chi's final move in this battle! This was because Ling Chi had already poured all of his essence, energy, and spirit into this single sword! After this strike, regardless of whether he won or lost, he would no longer have any strength left!
If Yu ManTian wasn't able to block this sword, then he would really die from a thousand cuts!
However, in Ling Tian's calculations, not only would Ling Chi have no chance of winning, he would also have to pay a heavy price for using this move! If not for the fact that Yu ManTian had promised not to kill him, Ling Tian would definitely have separated the two of them, because Ling Chi might even have to pay the price with his life!
Perhaps letting this brat suffer a huge loss wasn't a bad thing after all? Ling Tian thought to himself.
However, it was a pity that Ling Tian was wrong. He had underestimated Yu ManTian's character, and also underestimated Third Master Yu's strength!
The timing of Ling Chi's attack was perfect and it was out of Yu ManTian's expectations. However, Third Master Yu's combat experience was far beyond Ling Chi's. His tactic of 'using the same tactic to deal with the myriad of changes' was to wait for Ling Chi's attack to pass before he could counterattack! However, it was not as Ling Tian had imagined. Even if Yu ManTian's movement techniques were inferior, it did not mean that Yu ManTian's weapons were inferior to Ling Chi's. With Yu ManTian's eyesight and experience, Yu ManTian would definitely be able to defeat Ling Chi by a thousand cuts. However, Yu ManTian was certain that Yu ManTian would be able to severely injure Ling Chi or even send him to his death!
However, it wasn't entirely because of the promise. Martial practitioners always had the instinct to defend themselves. Ling Chi and the rest had attacked Yu ManTian with all their might, not holding back at all. It could be said that their killing intent had long exceeded the scope of a 'spar'.
Ling Chi had used all his strength to attack Yu ManTian. Even if Yu ManTian had used all his strength to counterattack, no one would have been able to say that Yu ManTian wasn't the one who attacked.
Although Ling Tian had experienced two lifetimes, he only cared about the results, not the process. Although he treated his subordinates well, he had neglected to nurture their personalities. Thus, Ling Jian, Ling Chi, Ling Feng, and the rest were all cast from the same mold! Ling Tian had unknowingly created the extreme personalities of Ling Jian and the rest!
Even someone as experienced as Yu ManTian would never have imagined that Ling Chi would suddenly change his battle strategy without any warning. Furthermore, it was such a powerful killing move that came crashing down on his head.
Before the sword had even arrived, Yu ManTian could already feel the destructive force behind it! His face immediately changed. What is this brat trying to do? What is this bunch of brats trying to do?!
With your cultivation, don't you know that I've been holding back many times? I'm sparring with you, but every move of yours is trying to take my life! Every move is filled with killing intent! Don't tell me … this is a trap? A trap to kill me?!
Out of the self-defense instinct of a XianTian expert, Yu ManTian wanted to retaliate with all his might. While Ling Chi was the youngest among the five of them, his martial arts were the strongest among them! His moves were proficient, and his movements were exquisite. In fact, he wasn't even below Ling Jian's! Especially a few days ago, his cultivation had already broken through to the fifth level of the Divine Shocking Dragon Formula. But, if Yu ManTian were to counterattack with all his might …
Ling Chi would definitely not be injured, because he would definitely die!
Yu ManTian subconsciously circled around. This was the self-defense instinct of a XianTian cultivator! In that instant, a brilliant silver lotus appeared around his body, and layer by layer, the lotus bloomed to welcome the incoming attack! This was the ultimate sword move that Yu ManTian had used against Ling Jian the other day! "Nine-nine Lotus Platform!"
For Ling Chi to be able to force Yu ManTian to use the Nine-nine Lotus Platform was already something to be proud of!
However …
Ling Tian, who was watching the battle from the side, suddenly realized something. But it was already too late, and it was too late for him to stop the fight! As long as the two moves collided, Ling Chi would definitely die! He wouldn't even have the chance to save his life!
As for Ling Jian and the rest, they were completely unaware of the danger that Ling Chi was in due to their lack of eyesight and the fact that they weren't in any life-threatening danger during the previous exchange!
The moment the two swords clashed, a look of understanding flashed across Yu ManTian's arrogant face.
After a series of metallic clangs, Ling Chi's body was sent flying in midair. Yu ManTian staggered a few steps back and his originally flushed face turned even redder as he slowly ran towards where Ling Chi had been sent flying.
Ling Chi actually didn't die?!
Ling Jian had already leapt into the air and caught Ling Chi in his embrace before slowly descending to the ground. Stretching out his hand to check Ling Chi's breathing, he quickly took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. At the same time, he placed one hand on Ling Chi's chest and the other hand on Ling Chi's back, injecting his pure inner qi into Ling Chi's body!
Ling Chi's injuries were about the same as what he had expected. While Ling Chi's injuries were more serious than Ling Feng's, it wasn't a big deal!
On the scene, apart from Yu ManTian himself, only Ling Tian knew what had just happened!
With Yu ManTian's martial arts, while the situation seemed dangerous, it was still within his control. However, Ling Chi's final strike was simply too dangerous, causing Yu ManTian to feel extremely uneasy. He didn't think too much about it and directly used his full strength to activate the Nine-Nine Lotus Platform at the last moment!
If the two moves were to collide, Ling Chi would definitely die. While Yu ManTian had promised that he wouldn't kill Ling Chi, the five of them were all fighting with their lives on the line. For Yu ManTian to not kill Ling Chi was already extremely unreasonable. While Ling Tian was extremely intelligent, there were some things that he didn't want to do. This was the flaw in Ling Tian's personality. He only knew himself and didn't know about others. In other words, even if Yu ManTian really killed Ling Chi, it wouldn't be too much!
