The Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword was only four fingers long and less than a finger wide. It was shaped like a willow leaf and as thin as paper, but it was unusually sharp and indestructible!
This sword was formed after Ling Yun absorbed a large amount of Xiantian Sword Qi and transformed it into Yin-Yang True Qi. The Yin-Yang True Qi in Ling Yun's energy center was condensed into a liquid form before Ling Yun burned his Divine Energy to condense it.
It had been seven days since the Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword had formed in Ling Yun's energy center. In these seven days, no matter what Ling Yun did, he constantly nurtured it with Yin-Yang True Qi and communicated with it with his strong divine will. Today was the perfect day to put it to good use!
The Great Elder of the Huaxia Heavenly Group, Zhou Wenyi, became the one who sharpened the Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword.
"Chi!"
Ling Yun used his divine will to control the sword. The speed of the Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword was unbelievable. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Zhou Wenyi!
Zhou Wenyi's expression was solemn. He didn't dare to be careless. He raised his palm, and a Tai Chi diagram about ten centimeters in diameter rushed out from his palm. It was also formed by Xiantian True Qi and met the Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword head-on!
"Clang!"
Just like a steel nail being hammered into a steel plate by a sledgehammer, a metallic clang rang out. Although the Tai Chi pattern was instantly pierced through by the Yin Yang Aura Sword, it could no longer move forward. It was blocked by the Tai Chi pattern.
The moment Zhou Wenyi came up, he attacked Ling Yun with his Divine Will without a word. Ling Yun was furious. He didn't hold back at all, but Zhou Wenyi managed to block it in an instant.
However, Ling Yun wasn't surprised. His opponent was the Great Elder of the Huaxia Group. If he couldn't even block Ling Yun's sword, then the Huaxia Group was too weak.
"Whoosh!"
Ling Yun's thoughts moved again. The Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword retreated and made a turn in the air at lightning speed. It changed direction and came to Zhou Wenyi's back, stabbing at him!
"Hehe, good timing!"
Zhou Wenyi didn't have the time to speak after witnessing Ling Yun's methods. He didn't turn around, but just as the Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword was about to pierce his back, a palm-sized Tai Chi diagram suddenly appeared and blocked Ling Yun's Yin-Yang Astral Energy Sword.
"Chi chi chi chi …"
Next, Ling Yun didn't hold back. He used his divine will to activate the Yin Yang Astral Energy Sword. It circled around Zhou Wenyi's body like a butterfly weaving through flowers. It could be said that every stab was extremely crafty and strange.
However, the Tai Chi Symbol that Zhou Wenyi used to defend was able to appear in time and successfully block Ling Yun's attacks.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun had stabbed a hundred times, and Zhou Wenyi had also blocked a hundred strikes!
"I'm not fighting anymore."
Ling Yun suddenly recalled the Yin Yang Gang Sword into his energy center. At the same time, he smiled and said, "Senior, you're amazing."
"The younger generation will surpass us in time."
A blush flashed across Zhou Wenyi's face. After Ling Yun stopped his attack, he finally stood up.
Ling Yun had stabbed out a hundred times just now. Even though his attacks were sharp and his moves were tricky, he didn't have the intention to kill. Otherwise, Ling Yun wouldn't have retreated after each attack.
Even though Zhou Wenyi had withstood the hundred strikes without panicking, he knew how much effort he had expended.
Zhou Wenyi understood that if Ling Yun stabbed ten more times in a row, he would have no choice but to change his move or be forced to stand up by Ling Yun.
However, if he changed his move midway or got up to parry, then it would be equivalent to him losing the exchange just now.
After all, Ling Yun had been standing and holding his sword from beginning to end, and he hadn't moved at all.
The two of them had exchanged a hundred moves in the blink of an eye, one standing and one sitting, one attacking and one defending. They looked calm and composed, but the process was actually extremely exciting and thrilling.
They were competing on the strength of their divine will, the control of the minute changes in their divine will, and the strength and exquisiteness of their own True Qi.
However, on the surface, it looked like they were evenly matched.
This result was enough to shock Zhou Wenyi!
Don't forget how old he was and what kind of status he had. He was the Chief Elder of the Huaxia Heavenly Group!
On the other hand, Ling Yun was a young man who wasn't even nineteen years old!
Of course, Ling Yun was the attacker and had the upper hand. Moreover, his Yin Yang Astral Energy Sword was in its true form. Every time he used a move, he didn't need to mobilize new True Qi to materialize it. He only needed to focus on activating his divine sense to control the sword to attack. Therefore, from this point of view, Ling Yun had a slight advantage.
Ling Yun was well aware of this. Therefore, when he saw that Zhou Wenyi was defending and confirmed that Zhou Wenyi wasn't here to find trouble with the Ling Family, he took the initiative to stop.
Ling Yun would never do something like not taking face when it was given to him.
"Yun Er, you're being rude. Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhou, aren't you?"
The hundred strikes didn't even take half a minute, but Ling Lie had been watching the entire process from the side. His palms were already sweaty. Now that the two of them had stopped, he finally felt relieved. He hurriedly gave Ling Yun a look.
"Elder Ling, I, Zhou Wenyi, made the first move. It's not Ling Yun's fault."
Zhou Wenyi smiled and waved his hand lightly, rejecting Ling Lie's suggestion. His gaze toward Ling Yun was full of praise.
In today's Huaxia, in the entire ancient martial arts world, who would dare to take the initiative to attack Zhou Wenyi?!
Based on this point alone, Ling Yun had won Zhou Wenyi's approval.
Moreover, the strength that Ling Yun displayed just now had shocked Zhou Wenyi.
Young and impetuous? Bold and arrogant? A newborn calf that wasn't afraid of a tiger? None of these. The reason this young man in front of him dared to do this was because he really had the strength and confidence!
Even though the two of them were just probing each other, and Zhou Wenyi didn't reveal his trump card, he knew very well that Ling Yun was the same.
Ling Yun took a step forward, cupped his fists, and bowed. "Junior Ling Yun pays his respects to Mr. Zhou."
This time, Ling Yun was really paying his respects to Zhou Wenyi. Even though he had greeted Zhou Wenyi just now, he had only used the word "greet".
Greeting and having seen each other, the difference of a single word was huge.
This was Ling Yun. No matter who the other party was, there was no way he could bully him. Even if he wanted to respect someone, he would only show it after he had earned the other party's respect.
"Ling Yun, you live up to your reputation. Shall we sit down and talk?"
Zhou Wenyi accepted Ling Yun's greeting calmly. He took the initiative to extend his hand and make an inviting gesture towards Ling Yun.
The three of them sat down. Ling Lie and Zhou Wenyi still sat opposite each other, but Ling Yun sat horizontally.
"Ling Yun, Ling Yun, through the sparring just now, I can see that the strength of your divine sense is already at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation. Furthermore, your control of your divine sense has reached an exquisite level. That sword of energy just now is even sharper than the sharpness of a God Weapon. It's indestructible. From the looks of it, the Sun Chen Alliance didn't lose unjustly since the Ling Family was able to emerge victorious in the life-and-death battle. "
Zhou Wenyi had just sat down when he couldn't help but nod and comment.
"Senior, you're too kind. I'm only at the late-stage of Qi Cultivation Stage 3."
Ling Yun took the initiative to pour tea for Zhou Wenyi and Ling Lie. At the same time, he smiled and stated his own realm.
"Oh? Strength surpasses one's realm … That's how it should be for youngsters. "
Zhou Wenyi was not surprised and only nodded. Then, he looked around the courtyard and said with a smile, "Today, when I came to the Ling family, I walked all the way to this backyard and noticed that there were some lead and iron balls in the surroundings. Their placement was strange, but it also blended well with the courtyard and was very harmonious. I, Zhou Wenyi, may ask if this is the study of spell formations? "
Ling Yun heard this and smiled. "So Senior already saw through it. To be honest, these lead and iron balls are a few small spell formations that I set up for the Ling Family. It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning."
Zhou Wenyi looked deeply into Lingyun's eyes and suddenly smiled without saying a word.
Actually, compared to the strength that Ling Yun displayed, the placement of the Ling Family's lead and iron balls was what really shocked Zhou Wenyi!
That was because Zhou Wenyi was a Confucian Grandmaster, a master of spell formations, pills, and geomancy. Of course, he could see that the Ling Family was protected by a large spell formation. It was just that the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation in Ling Lie's courtyard wasn't like the two large spell formations outside. It hadn't been completed yet, so he couldn't see any clues.
Ling Yun was so young, and it was already shocking enough that he was only at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation. Where did he get the time to study spell formations?
Thinking about this, Zhou Wenyi suddenly smiled and asked, "Where did my little friend Ling Yun come from?"
Since he asked like this, the mystery behind it was very deep.
"Oh, I went to climb the Great Wall this morning. Then, I heard that Senior was coming to visit, so I rushed back."
Ling Yun answered without batting an eyelid.
The question was clever, and the answer was even better.
Zhou Wenyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew that Ling Yun didn't want to answer, so he simply nodded and stopped asking.
"May I know the reason for Senior's sudden visit?"
Seeing that Zhou Wenyi was avoiding the topic, Ling Yun decided to get straight to the point.
"This …"
Zhou Wenyi pondered for a moment before saying, "Ling Yun, my little friend, I've heard about your personality and temper. However, in the deathmatch between your Ling Family and Sun Chen, including Chen Jingxuan, our Heavenly Team lost a total of six members. No matter what, I, Zhou Wenyi, have to come and demand an explanation."
Hearing this, Ling Lie's heart tightened. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his head slightly to see what Ling Yun had to say.
"Life and death are decreed by fate," Ling Yun said faintly.
Ling Yun said faintly, "As for the Heaven Team's mode of operation, I have a rough understanding of it now. Our Ling Family and Sun Chen have formed an alliance to fight to the death. If the Heaven Team wants to go and help, our Ling Family can't stop them. However, since their skills aren't as good as mine and they were killed or injured by me, they are asking for it."
With that, Ling Yun lifted his head and stared at Zhou Wenyi. "I believe Senior should be familiar with the rules of the deathmatch, right?"
