"Puff."
The man blocked the blade with one hand and kicked with his right leg.
Almost at the same time, Lin Sheng also raised his leg.
Their legs collided. Lin Sheng grunted and quickly retreated.
"Afterglow Slash!"
Lin Sheng retracted his sword and was silent for a moment.
In an instant, a silver snake shot out and slashed at the man's neck at a speed far faster than before.
"That's a good move."
The man quickly took a step back and dodged the slash of the sword.
"Elephant Tower!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the sword style was getting old, he stepped forward and stomped his right leg on the ground, causing a huge tremor. His body rushed forward and used his whole body as leverage. His shoulder slammed into Lin Sheng.
"Bang!"
Lin Sheng dodged the attack and slammed into the cement wall on the side of the road.
A large piece of loose cement collapsed from the impact. Fine dust flew everywhere.
Some of the gravel splashed and hit the arm of a girl not far away, causing her to cry out in pain.
Only then did the girls who were watching realized that it was for real. Now they looked at the fight between Lin Sheng and the man. All of them were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly ran away.
Lin Sheng held his sword with both hands. His expression was cold as he quickly slashed.
He had encountered many opponents in the dream, and they all had the same killing intent. But the one in front of him was not as strong as the ones in the dream.
He just couldn't get used to this kind of fighting style that used only fists and palms without weapons.
The sword light and the palms kept clashing, making some visible and some hidden noises.
Above the two of them, cars sped past on the viaduct, bringing with them a series of rumbling noises, which just happened to cover the sounds of the two of them fighting.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.
Lin Sheng quickly took a few steps back. His hand holding the sword trembled violently.
Traces of blood slowly appeared on the wrists of the man in front of him.
"Interesting …" The man looked down at his wrists. "In terms of swordsmanship, I haven't met an opponent of your level for a long time."
"Are you sick? Or is there something wrong with your brain? "Lin Sheng's expression was cold as he quickly steadied his trembling hands. To avoid showing weakness to the man.
He had never offended anyone.
If it was the White Tarots from before, they would never attack him in broad daylight.
Although the man in front of him had some mental problems, his strength was unquestionable. He was an absolute expert.
Ever since he learned the sword in the nightmare, this was the first time Lin Sheng had met someone who could fight him head-on in terms of technique and martial arts.
"Hehe, playing dumb? As long as there was a suitable price and a suitable opponent. I'll take the order. "
The man retracted his hand and loosened his fingers. "That's it for this trip. I didn't expect to come across such a surprise while I was on the way."
"You mean, someone is looking for someone to kill me?" Lin Sheng was shocked.
"Yes. The price was not much, only two hundred thousand. It's better than nothing. "The man grinned.
"If it wasn't for the list saying that you could knock down five people in five seconds with a sword, I wouldn't have been able to. I don't even know how to take such a small job. "
"How about now?" Lin Sheng straightened his body. Although the other party was no longer in an attacking stance, he still maintained his vigilance.
"Now, I give up. It's up to you. "The man spread his arms and looked calm.
"You're not using a gun?" Lin Sheng was stunned. He glanced at the gun on the railing above.
"Are you humiliating me??!" The man's expression turned cold, and the look in his eyes changed slightly. "Seems like your teacher didn't teach you the rules."
He looked at Lin Sheng one last time, turned around, grabbed the cement wall, and jumped a few times. In a second, he was on the viaduct.
Picking up the gun, the man put on his coat, turned around indifferently, and quickly disappeared from Lin Sheng's sight.
Lin Sheng stood under the viaduct and waited silently for a while. After making sure that the other party would not appear again, he slowly walked to the sword box on the ground.
One side of the black box was smashed flat, and the scabbard inside rolled out and fell not far away.
Lin Sheng looked over and saw that the scabbard was in the hands of one of the girls he saw earlier.
The girl's face was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. Her hands were trembling as she held the scabbard.
When she saw Lin Sheng walking over, she quickly stood up and handed the scabbard to him with both hands.
"Your … your thing …" She could feel her voice trembling.
"Thank you." Lin Sheng took it, and gently inserted the bloody blade into the scabbard. He put it into the scabbard.
He then carried it on his back and quickly left.
Only the girl was left staring at his back, not daring to move, until he completely disappeared from her sight.
…
…
"My leg is swollen …"
Lin Sheng calmly put an ice pack on his calf.
He carefully examined his leg. When he was fighting with the mysterious man, his legs had collided.
If not for the Ashen Seal's Sanctuary, that collision would have fractured his entire calf.
"But come to think of it, if not for the Ashen Seal, I wouldn't have used my legs to block it. In the end, I'm still too weak, and my body is too weak. "
Lin Sheng recalled the battle just now.
His speed and strength were much weaker than his opponent, and every time they collided, he had to use more skill to nullify his opponent's brute force.
This also limited the power of his Blackfeather swordsmanship.
Sitting in the bathroom, Lin Sheng removed the ice pack and looked at the swollen area. It felt a lot more numb.
"The bleeding has almost stopped."
He picked up the ointment for bruises, dipped his finger in it, and quickly applied it to the wound.
As soon as the ointment was applied, the entire bathroom was filled with the strong smell of medicine.
After applying the ointment, Lin Sheng pulled down his pants and put everything back.
"Luckily, I always have medicine for bruises at home, or I'd have to go out and buy more."
Fortunately, the other party seemed to be abiding by some rule and did not use a gun.
"I've meditated for so long with the Ashen Seal, and the effect is only slightly stronger than when I tested it in the park. It hasn't improved since then. Looks like I've reached my limit. "
Lin Sheng exhaled and returned to his bedroom.
"If I'm really shot by a gun … there's a high chance I won't be able to block it. I'll still die if I have to. "
He had tested it again, and the effect of the Ashen Seal on him was at most equivalent to a few hundred pages of textbooks on his body.
Because he did not have a test subject on hand, he used the textbooks as a comparison.
"The key now is, who's hiring people to kill me? The White Tarots? "Lin Sheng's brows furrowed.
"I've never offended anyone before, so why would someone target me? If it's just an amateur swordsmanship competition, why would they do this for a spot in Huaihua City? "
He did not know.
What he did not know was that the gangsters from the White Tarots had only planned to beat up his father.
They did not want to break his bones, but just lightly injure him to scare him.
What they did not expect was that they managed to force out the hungry wolf, Lin Sheng, who killed all of them in one go, and even forced the leader of the gangsters to reveal a gun that he had been hiding.
"There's no information at all, and I don't even know where the source is … So annoying!" Lin Sheng was frustrated.
Even if he wanted revenge, he needed to know who the target was.
The key now was that he did not even know who was targeting him.
