"This sword technique is called the Returning Wind Falling Leaves Sword Technique? Hmm, it does live up to its name. It's a powerful technique. " Lu Xuan nodded his head. His words were indeed from the bottom of his heart. No wonder Lin Tian was ranked tenth in the overall ranking. He had some tricks up his sleeves.
If Lin Tian's opponent wasn't him, it wouldn't be easy for the other disciples to dodge Lin Tian's attacks. Even Lu Xuan had used up all of his strength.
Lin Tian laughed, "You don't need to praise me. Not only did I not force you to use your true strength, but I also lost to your heavy sword. This sword technique's value is limited. However, if you think that my strength is limited to this, then you are wrong. Since I've already tested your strength, then I won't hold back anymore. The Returning Wind Falling Leaves Sword Technique is only a middle grade Yellow Level technique. Next, I'll show you my other technique. It's my trump card, the Frenzied Wave Sword Technique, a high grade Yellow Level technique!"
Once Lin Tian's words came out, all the disciples below the stage were shocked. A Yellow Ranked Upper Grade Martial Skill was not something a normal inner sect disciple could learn. In the entire Martial Skill Pavilion, the highest level was only a Yellow Ranked Middle Grade Martial Skill. Even for the core disciples, a Yellow Ranked Upper Grade Martial Skill was extremely rare.
Thinking about it, Lin Tian's sword technique was definitely not obtained from the Martial Skill Pavilion. It was highly likely that he obtained it from his clan. A mid-grade Yellow Ranked Martial Skill was already able to fight evenly with Lu Xuan. Now that he had a high-grade Yellow Ranked Martial Skill, how could Lu Xuan be a match for him?
In an instant, the disciples who supported Lin Tian were excited. The disciples who supported Lu Xuan were even more worried. Of course, they were more worried that their bets would go down the drain.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "That's exactly what I wanted!"
He also had a high grade Yellow Level technique, the Blinking Sword Technique. However, he didn't use it many times in front of outsiders. Presumably, no one would be able to recognize its grade. As for Mo Chen and the others who witnessed the power of the Blinking Sword Technique in the back mountains, they were already dead.
However, up until now, he had never used a High Rank Yellow Ranked Martial Skill against any of his opponents. This time, he would be able to witness the might of a High Rank Yellow Ranked Martial Skill.
Lin Tian didn't make Lu Xuan wait for long. With a light shout, he attacked once more. However, the style of his sword technique had changed abruptly. It was no longer sharp and gentle, but an extremely powerful and domineering one!
Lin Tian leaped high into the air, and with a Mount Tai Suppression, the sword in his hand slashed down at Lu Xuan's head. There wasn't the slightest bit of fancy movements, and he didn't hold back in the slightest.
Lu Xuan decisively raised his sword to block, and the [Blood Drinker Sword] immediately slashed onto the black iron sword without reservation. There was a crisp sound of impact, and sparks were set off.
But the black iron sword was made entirely of black iron, so there was not the slightest damage at all. And the [Blood Drinker Sword] was also a high-grade iron weapon, the material and workmanship were excellent, so naturally there would not be any damage.
Lin Tian didn't stop at all when his sword slashed onto the black iron sword. He pressed down with the [Blood Drinker Sword], and borrowed the rebounding force from the sword's body to rise once more. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and this time slashed horizontally.
Lu Xuan blocked again. Just as he was about to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, Lin Tian's attack only touched Lu Xuan's sword once more, not giving Lu Xuan any chance to counterattack.
Lin Tian's attack followed closely behind. It was still as straightforward as before, and there was not the slightest bit of excess movement. His target was Lu Xuan, but in terms of power and speed, he was much stronger than the first time. The might of the Wild Wave Sword Technique was finally displayed.
The Wild Wave Sword Technique, as the name suggested, was an extremely powerful and fast martial skill. Each wave was stronger than the previous! Each wave was faster than the previous!
The person wielding the sword was like the surging waves, and the target of the attack was the reef in the sea. The waves constantly crashed against the reef, wave after wave. Unless the waves disappeared, no matter how strong the reef was, it would eventually collapse.
Once the sword technique was unleashed, it could not be stopped. To break this move, the only way was to interrupt the sword technique when it had just been unleashed, before its power was revealed. Otherwise, each subsequent move would be stronger than the previous, causing one to be exhausted and unable to deal with it.
And now, Lu Xuan had fallen into such an awkward situation.
Lin Tian's attacks became faster and faster, like a torrential storm, constantly pouring down on Lu Xuan. At the start, Lu Xuan was still able to deal with it, but as his attacks became faster and faster, Lu Xuan began to feel a considerable amount of pressure.
Furthermore, what shocked him even more was that, with the power of the black iron sword, he could actually feel the pain from Lin Tian's attacks on his wrist.
To be able to achieve such an effect with a fast sword against a heavy sword, this Wild Wave Sword Technique was indeed extraordinary, worthy of being a high-grade Yellow Rank martial skill! And in this, Lin Tian's strength also played a huge role. Against Lu Xuan at the peak of the seventh layer of the Body Refinement Realm, the advantage of being at the sixth layer of the Body Refinement Realm was finally revealed.
Lin Tian unceasingly attacked, while Lu Xuan unceasingly defended. The speed of the two was extremely fast, as long as one did not keep up, the other would definitely take advantage of it.
The rhythm of the two's attacks was so fast that the disciples below the stage had already stopped chatting with each other. Their eyes unblinkingly stared, afraid that if they missed a single moment, the outcome would already be decided.
"Although this Lu Xuan is at a disadvantage, the strength he is displaying is too terrifying!" Cheng Wang said with some shock as he stared at the battle between the two on the stage. But unexpectedly, he was not praising Lin Tian, who had the upper hand, but Lu Xuan, who was at a disadvantage!
To one side, Mo Kuichen could not help but nod in agreement, and took the initiative to speak, "To be able to use such a heavy heavy sword to block Lin Tian's violent attacks is simply inconceivable! I can hardly imagine what kind of effect Lu Xuan will have when he uses his fast sword later. "
Cheng Wang nodded his head, "That's right, but this is also Lu Xuan's greatest strength. Although he can block Lin Tian's attacks with all his might, he simply cannot find a chance to counterattack. His consumption is far greater than Lin Tian's, and if this goes on, he will definitely lose. However, Lin Tian's improvement in this period of time is also very great. If he had this kind of strength during the Great Sect Competition, he definitely would not have fallen to the last place in the top ten."
As Cheng Wang's words fell, Mo Kuichen seemed to suddenly remember something. He once again looked towards Lu Xuan, and the astonishment in his eyes became even stronger. He had almost overlooked a detail. The long sword that Lin Tian was using had reached the peak of the seventh level of Body Refinement. To be able to unleash such a violent attack and endure for so long was naturally not a problem.
But Lu Xuan was using a heavy sword, and his level was only at the sixth level of Body Refinement. But relying on the strength of the sixth level of Body Refinement and wielding a heavy sword that weighed 81 kilograms, he was actually able to resist Lin Tian without making a single mistake. How terrifying was this!
It seemed like Lu Xuan's trump cards were far more than what was on the surface!
Mo Kuichen had almost overlooked this detail, but the three great elders naturally would not. Unlike Lu Xuan, they naturally knew about Lin Tian's Wild Wave Sword Art. Previously, when they saw that Lu Xuan did not have much of a reaction when Lin Tian announced the name of the Wild Wave Sword Art, the three great elders knew that Lu Xuan was definitely going to be at a disadvantage.
Because the Wild Wave Sword Art was extremely powerful once it was used, when they saw that Lin Tian had successfully used the Wild Wave Sword Art, the three of them unanimously believed that Lu Xuan would at most be able to last for half an incense stick of time against Lin Tian. Either he would be defeated, or he would choose to switch swords.
But now, it had already been half an incense stick of time since Lin Tian had used the Wild Wave Sword Art, and Lu Xuan did not show any signs of defeat. The mysterious iron sword in his hand was still as steady as Mount Tai. No matter which direction Lin Tian's attack came from, it would be blocked at the first moment. Although Lu Xuan was unable to seize the opportunity to counterattack, Lin Tian would not be able to gain an advantage either.
They did not expect that Lu Xuan would be able to last for twice as long as they had expected. The three great elders all sucked in a breath of cold air. In the current battle, Lu Xuan was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and weapon. Yet, he was still able to hold on to this extent. This was truly out of their expectations.
However, their astonishment did not end there. Instead, it grew increasingly stronger. This was because Lu Xuan was still persisting!
An incense stick of time had already passed. Soon, it had reached half an incense stick of time!
Even Lin Tian, who had maintained his offense all this time, was finding it difficult to endure. Lu Xuan's tenacity had far exceeded his expectations. What was even more difficult for him to understand was that even his peak seventh-layer Body Tempering cultivation was finding it difficult to endure. How could Lu Xuan, who was only at the sixth-layer Body Tempering cultivation and wielding a heavy sword, endure until now?
Even so, Lin Tian could only grit his teeth and endure. Once an attack was launched, it could not be easily interrupted. Once it was interrupted, it would be akin to a receding tide. All the accumulated momentum would instantly dissipate, and he would be easily defeated by Lu Xuan.
"Why hasn't Lu Xuan changed his sword? Why is he still persisting? Isn't this a waste of Yuan Power? Does he really want to compete in endurance with Ah Tian? "Elder Lin was somewhat confused.
To the side, Elder Xu laughed heartily as he said, "Old Lin, you're wrong this time. Lu Xuan is not simply persisting for the sake of persevering. He is using Lin Tian to train, using Lin Tian as a feeder."
Hearing this, Elder Lin was startled. Looking closely, it was indeed so!
No wonder Lu Xuan didn't change his sword for so long and persisted. Who would have thought that he was actually using his opponent's attacks to train during this duel?
"This child will definitely become a great person in the future!" Elder Lin let out a long sigh and sighed. In his heart, he added a sentence. If Lin Tian was even half as good as Lu Xuan, he would be incomparably gratified.
Elder Xu's words were indeed correct. Lu Xuan was indeed using Lin Tian to train. Previously, when he practiced his sword under the waterfall, he trained steadily and trained his strength. But now, facing Lin Tian's tide-like attacks, he trained his technique and trained his accuracy!
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Xuan felt that his strength had increased by more than one level. However, he could not continue any longer. If he continued, his Yuan Power would be depleted. Although the [Taiyi Origin Art] was powerful, it could not continuously supply him with Yuan Power.
If he wanted to defeat Lin Tian, he naturally needed to conserve 10% of his strength.
