The instant Lin Qian dodged, a saber light descended from the hole he was originally standing at.
"Whoosh!"
This saber light instantly left a three-meter-deep crack in the hard ground.
If Lin Qian had not dodged in time and got struck by this saber light, he would have been chopped in half.
Lin Qian flipped over and stood up. He released all his Soul Energy, wrapping it around his entire body as he stared at the hole.
At this moment, a bearded man in red robes with black borders stood at the hole. He carried a scarlet saber on his shoulder and stared at Xiao Chen with a sinister smile.
"The Tyrant's Saber Gate!" Lin Qian twisted his shoulders as he stared at this bearded man. "It looks like you discovered me long ago?"
"Hehe! This little mouse is rather good at finding holes." The bearded man raised his scarlet saber and swung it, pointing it at Lin Qian. "Little mouse, do you have any last words?"
Right after the bearded man spoke, a black figure appeared in front of him. Lin Qian's figure had already arrived before him. Lin Qian's right fist, which was wrapped in Soul Energy, punched at the bearded man's face.
The fist wind gave off a sharp whistle. The fist, which was wrapped in Soul Energy, gave the bearded man an unexpected pressure.
"Damn it!" The bearded man's expression changed, and his relaxed expression vanished. He quickly raised the scarlet saber in his hand and wrapped it in fiery-red Soul Energy.
After that, the bearded man grabbed the scarlet saber's right arm and swung it with a repulsive force, chopping down at Lin Qian's fist.
"Bang!"
A loud sound rang out. The scene of the saber breaking Lin Qian's fist did not happen as the bearded man expected.
Instead, a horrifying force came from the scarlet saber in his hand, forcing him back several steps. His entire right arm went numb.
The bearded man stomped on the ground and stabilized himself. Then, he stared at Lin Qian with a sullen expression.
The bearded man's sharp saber struck Xiao Chen's fist, but it did not injure him at all. There was only a red mark on it. On the other hand, his blade rippled like water.
"Judging by your appearance, you are only sixteen years old, yet you are already in the Element Gathering Tier. You don't even need to use a Soul Weapon Equipment, and you are able to use your physical body to resist a Soul Weapon that has been successfully equipped." The bearded man swung his right arm and grinned, "It just so happens that there is a young man in the Myriad Appearance Sect who is rising like a comet. His body is terrifyingly strong, and he can beat a Nirvana Realm warrior."
"I'm at the second level of the Nirvana Realm, yet you can force me back with your bare fists. Looks like you're the prodigy of the Myriad Sect, the Young Emperor! "
Lin Qian remained silent in response to the bearded man's words, which could be considered as a covert admission. He had already noticed that the other party was at the Nirvana Realm.
He had clearly used an Aura Concealment Talisman, so he would have been discovered. The other party could only be a Nirvana Realm martial artist!
As for his title of Young Emperor, it was all because of his Master.
The real reason why Lin Qian was silent was because the information from the Tyrant Blade Gate's spy was wrong!
According to the Tyrant Blade Gate's spy, the Tyrant Blade Gate had sent ten Element Gathering Tier disciples and forty Elemental Manifestation Tier disciples!
A team of disciples of this level was more than enough to deal with the Bai Clan and the Ye Clan, who only had two Elemental Manifestation Tier soul warriors.
However, such a team was not worth mentioning in front of Lin Qian!
But now, in this valley, a Nirvana Realm soul warrior of the Tyrant Blade Gate had appeared in front of Lin Qian.
"The information was wrong." Thinking of this, Lin Qian could not help but take a deep breath. Right now, he could not be sure how many people the Tyrant Blade Gate had sent to Ba Shan City, and how strong they were.
"Liang Ren." At this moment, the bearded man suddenly spoke and introduced himself to Lin Qian. "I want to see if the rumor that the Young Emperor can defeat a Nirvana Realm warrior with his physical body is true!"
When the bearded man who called himself Liang Ren spoke, Lin Qian gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking about other things. He stared at the man and said, "If that's the case, then come and try for yourself."
Liang Ren held his saber with both hands and held it vertically in front of him. The blade was pointed in Lin Qian's direction, and he exhaled.
Boom!
Instantly, scarlet soul power surged out of Liang Ren's body. Strength burst forth from his feet, and he charged at Lin Qian.
"Ha!" As a Nirvana Realm martial artist, Liang Ren was extremely fast. His body turned into a red blur, and he charged in front of Lin Qian in the blink of an eye.
The blood-colored saber in his hand slashed down at Lin Qian's head.
Scarlet soul power compressed and condensed on the blade. As the blood-colored saber was slashed at Lin Qian, the blade pressed down, and the force cut the long grass in the surroundings.
Broken grass flew like a green wave that surged to both sides.
Lin Qian was not afraid, and his expression did not change. The pure white soul power on his hands became even stronger, and when he clenched his fists, the air in his palms exploded!
The blood-colored saber arrived as expected, and Lin Qian punched out as well, which collided with the saber.
At that moment, Liang Ren felt as if he wasn't slashing at Lin Qian's fist, but rather steel. The impact caused his hands to go numb.
"Ahhh!" Liang Ren, who had been forced back by Lin Qian's punch, screamed. He wielded the blood-colored saber with both hands and pressed forward again.
He waved his arms continuously, and the blood-colored saber drew streaks of red in the air as it continuously slashed at Lin Qian.
Liang Ren seemed to be slashing randomly, but there was a method hidden within.
At that moment, the blood-colored saber in front of Lin Qian was slashing at him. Moreover, Liang Ren's blood-colored saber would occasionally shoot out blood-colored Saber Rays.
The Saber Rays that flew out of the saber were extremely powerful. If Lin Qian forcefully used his fists to block them, he would probably be injured.
These Saber Rays were easy to dodge, and he only needed to dodge them. But if he dodged, his path of retreat would be sealed, and he could only face Liang Ren's saber head-on.
For a moment, the situation seemed to be in a deadlock.
'Since this Liang Ren recognizes me, he should know that although I'm in the Element Gathering Tier, the soul power in my body is huge, and I'm good at prolonged battles. If he wants to rely on this method to compete with me in terms of soul power consumption, it's impossible, 'Lin Qian thought silently as he stared ahead while dealing with the saber rays slashing at him.
Because his body was strong, his meridians were tough, and his Dantian was much bigger than normal martial artists, the soul power he could contain was much more than martial artists of the same tier.
In addition, the strange Martial Spirit in his body would spit out the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth even if he wasn't cultivating, and it would turn into soul power that circulated throughout his body.
Thus, Lin Qian was not afraid of exhausting his soul power, and his soul power was abnormally dense.
Lin Qian's soul power was dense, and his endurance was strong. His title of Young Emperor spread far and wide. It was impossible that Liang Ren could not recognize him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
The sound of Lin Qian's fists colliding with Liang Ren's blood-red saber rang out continuously, and he gradually retreated into the valley.
"I understand now. He's trying to stall for time." In the blink of an eye, Lin Qian came to a sudden realization. He was slightly annoyed that he had only just realized.
Since the information was wrong, it was very likely that there were other Nirvana Realm martial artists aside from Liang Ren in this valley.
Liang Ren's earlier words and his method of fighting seemed to be to wear him down and defeat him, but in reality, he was just stalling for time and waiting for the other people of the Tyrant's Saber School to reinforce him.
"Then, I'll deal with you first." When he thought of this, Lin Qian took a deep breath and took a step to the right. He suddenly punched.
At the same time, the blood-red saber light that had sealed off Lin Qian's footsteps slashed down and collided with Liang Ren's punch.
"Dong!"
A dull collision sound rang out, and the blood-red saber light was shattered by Lin Qian's punch. However, a saber wound appeared on Lin Qian's right arm, and fresh blood flowed out.
This was the first time Lin Qian had been injured since his clash with Liang Ren.
Seeing that Lin Qian was willing to be injured to break through his blockade, Liang Ren understood that Lin Qian had figured out his intentions. His expression changed.
Liang Ren's expression changed as he quickly adjusted his saber. The scarlet soul power on the blood-red saber burned intensely and turned into a blazing saber wrapped in raging flames.
The instant the saber changed, Liang Ren aimed the tip of the saber at the ground and swung it at Lin Qian.
"Blazing Saber!"
Following Liang Ren's shout, the saber light that was condensed from raging flames instantly left the saber and flew in Lin Qian's direction.
At the same time, the raging flames on the blood-red saber in Liang Ren's hand disappeared, as if they had been sucked away by the saber light.
The saber light formed from raging flames sped in Lin Qian's direction. Everywhere it passed, the ground was burnt into pitch-black scorched earth.
Soul skills were the martial techniques of soul martial artists. This Blazing Saber was an all-out attack from Liang Ren, who was at the second level of the Nirvana Realm!
If an ordinary Elemental Realm martial artist faced such a saber light, there would only be one outcome: being burned to ashes.
Lin Qian wasn't an ordinary Elemental Realm martial artist.
The blazing saber light that reflected on Lin Qian's red face was about to slash him, but his expression didn't change at all. He only retracted his fist and placed it on his waist. His soul power was frantically condensed, and his muscles were constantly tensed.
"Tiger's Roar!"
Just as the blazing saber light was less than an inch away from Lin Qian, Lin Qian's eyes widened in anger. With a roar, he suddenly punched out with his fists parallel to each other.
Xu Bai's soul power flowed along Lin Qian's fists and broke out of his body, condensing into a huge tiger head.
The mouth of this tiger head was exactly where Lin Qian's fists were. An invisible fist force rushed out of the mouth and collided with the blazing saber light.
"Roar!"
The fist wind surged, like the roar of a beast king or the roar of a tiger in the forest.
The blazing saber light that seemed to be able to incinerate everything suddenly collapsed under this roar, turning into sparks that filled the sky.
At the same time, the invisible fist force that appeared along with the roar passed through the scarlet light that filled the sky and hit the dumbfounded Liang Ren.
"Puff!" Scarlet blood spurted from Liang Ren's mouth, and his entire body flew into the hole behind him. The blood-red saber in his hand fell to the ground.
Then, the blood-red saber on the ground flashed with a red light, turning into a palm-sized saber and a red metal ball.
"Oh!" Suddenly, Lin Qian gave a muffled grunt, his entire body half kneeling on the ground.
"Hahaha, Young Emperor, you didn't expect this, did you?" At the same time, Liang Ren slowly walked out of the hole with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lin Qian with a pleased expression.
"When one reaches the Nirvana Realm, one's Martial Soul will awaken all kinds of characteristics. Coincidentally, my saber soul is fire poison, and its effect is paralysis." Liang Ren looked at the half-kneeling Lin Qian and laughed loudly. "I'm afraid that your limbs are weak now, and it's hard for you to gather soul power, right?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this time, the surface of the lake behind Lin Qian exploded three times. Three figures jumped out of the water that splashed high into the air.
"Am I going to die here?" Lin Qian's heart sank as he sensed the three Nirvana Realm auras behind him.
But at this moment, a voice seemed to appear beside Lin Qian's ear.
"Your Majesty, please hold on. I will come and protect you immediately!"
