While everyone was trying to persuade Su Xin not to accept Lin Xiao's challenge, Su Xin said after listening to them for a while, "Old Huang, tell them that I accept this challenge. Three days later, at the Life and Death Ring built by Six Fan School."
Huang Bingcheng and the rest were stunned. 'We've said so much, but you didn't listen to us at all?'
However, seeing that Su Xin was so determined, they stopped trying to persuade him.
They were all Su Xin's subordinates, so they had no right to object to Su Xin's decision. Otherwise, they would be ungrateful.
Wen Mingyu was the same. Although Su Xin once told him that the Wen family was an ally of Six Fan School, Wen Mingyu actually regarded himself as a subordinate.
If it was in the past, the Wen family was no longer qualified to be Six Fan School's ally with the current power of Six Fan School. Therefore, he was very humble.
Of course, there was a reason why Su Xin agreed to the challenge. The reason was simple, it was because he wanted to fight.
The position of chief of detectives of Jiangnan was indeed very high. It was so high that he could be respected and admired by everyone in Jiangnan.
He was only at Divinity Stage now. When Su Xin broke through to Primordial Spirit Stage in a few years, his position would be even more stable.
Therefore, with the contributions that Su Xin had made and Su Xin's potential, he would be able to secure his position as chief of detectives of Jiangnan as long as he did not do anything stupid.
However, that was not what Su Xin wanted.
As a martial artist, living too comfortably would make one forget the hardships that one had suffered and the hardships of fighting.
Who would not want to be unparalleled in power? However, just as Dong Buyi, the Altar Master of Autumn Altar had said, he only believed in his fists. Unparalleled power was also exchanged with his fists.
Living too comfortably would wear away one's drive, just like Shen Jin, who ranked 18th on the Ranking List of Young Masters. Although he was a rogue cultivator, it was not difficult for him to live a luxurious life as he was on the Ranking List of Young Masters. It was not difficult for him to live a better life.
But in the end, Shen Jin still wore coarse hemp clothes and ate plain tea and food.
Su Xin was the same. He wouldn't reject power and wealth, but he wouldn't put down his fists either. Therefore, he accepted this battle. He didn't care about winning or losing, he just wanted to use this battle against Lin Xiao to sharpen his sword edge.
After the news from Su Xin's side spread, the entire Jiangnan Society was in an uproar. Three days later, almost all the martial arts sects in the Jiangnan Society sent people to observe the outcome of the battle.
The arena they chose was the Life and Death Arena that Su Xin had used to mediate the dispute in Jiangnan. This arena was specially prepared for martial artists and had been specially reinforced.
The destructive power caused by an Innate Stage martial artist was already very powerful. If two evenly matched Divinity Palace martial artists were to fight each other, it would not be a problem for them to destroy an entire street.
Therefore, the arena they were using was made of some hard metal as the framework, and the surface was inlaid with some hard stones. It was definitely not a problem for it to be used in a battle between Innate Stage martial artists.
When Su Xin arrived, Lin Xiao was already in the arena. He was tall and skinny with a sword on his back. Standing in the arena, he looked like a long sword with soaring Sword Qi.
Su Xin also stepped into the arena. Both of them simply cupped their fists and introduced themselves.
"Lin Xiao."
"Su Xin."
There was no referee or host on the arena. With their status, nobody was qualified to be their host.
This was especially so for Su Xin. At least, among all the sects in the Jiangnan Society, apart from the Xiao Clan, no one else was qualified to host their battle.
However, the Xiao Clan had only sent a servant to hide in the crowd to record the results of the battle.
Therefore, after both of them had introduced themselves, they were ready to fight. Since there were so many people watching, the outcome was clear. There was no way they could cheat.
Lin Xiao drew the long sword on his back. It was a long sword that looked like frost and snow. The scabbard was made from the skin of the Scarlet Shark of the Southern Sea. When the long sword was unsheathed, a piercingly cold aura rushed toward them.
Lin Xiao's reason for challenging Su Xin was simple, and so was Su Xin's reason for accepting Lin Xiao's challenge. Therefore, both of them did not waste time talking and attacked right away!
Lin Xiao gently thrust the Frost and Snow Sword forward. Suddenly, the long sword seemed to travel through space and appeared in front of Su Xin in a flash.
Su Xin squinted his eyes and unleashed his Innate Invisible Sword Qi. As he waved his hands, dozens of Sword Qi instantly surrounded him like a demon. They were formless and invisible, and could not be broken!
A hint of excitement flashed across Lin Xiao's heart when he saw Su Xin's Innate Invisible Sword Qi.
His sword seemed to travel through space, leaving no trace behind. However, wherever the sword passed, a powerful gust of Stellar Energy would instantly erupt. A strange rhythm spread out, and the energy directly melted away Su Xin's Innate Invisible Sword Qi.
Among the five sword sects, only the Heavenly Sword Mountain's cultivation methods and martial techniques were the most exotic. In fact, the most exotic part was the martial techniques, because the Heavenly Sword Mountain's martial techniques didn't even have a single word on them.
The Heavenly Sword Mountain only had a single cultivation method manual called the Sword Codex. It was composed of thirty-six huge stone slabs. There wasn't a single word on them, only sword marks. They were left behind by the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
The founding ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Mountain was known as the Sword God. This nickname wasn't given to him by himself, but by the people of the pugilistic world who lived in the same era as the Sword God.
During the Sword God's era, all cultivators who used swords paled in comparison to the Sword God. In the end, people didn't even remember who the Sword God was. They only remembered that he was the Sword God!
The Sword Codex of the Heavenly Sword Mountain was a sword mark left behind by the Sword God's lifetime of sword intent. The Sword God's entire legacy was contained within. How much one could comprehend from the Sword Codex depended on one's comprehension ability. Furthermore, every swordsman comprehended different things from the Sword Codex.
Because of this, there were very few cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Mountain in the pugilistic world. The Heavenly Sword Mountain's strength was also extremely unstable. Whenever a few outstanding geniuses appeared and comprehended the sword intent in the Sword Codex, the Heavenly Sword Mountain would flourish, or it would decline.
Although the Heavenly Sword Mountain was currently in a period of decline, Lin Xiao was still able to leave the mountain and obtain the twelfth position on the Mortal Ranking. This was enough to prove his strength.
Su Xin wasn't a pure swordsman, but Lin Xiao was. His strange swordsmanship vividly displayed the true essence of his Way of the Sword — Melt!
Lin Xiao's sword style contained the power of melt. As his sword vibrated, a rhythm erupted, directly melting Su Xin's Sword Qi. Although it was as soft as water, it contained great power.
A glint of light flashed across Su Xin's eyes. A faint burst of Sword Qi appeared beneath his feet as the power of Wind-god's Kick burst forth. As if he was riding on a sword, the two powers combined allowed him to appear before Lin Xiao in a flash.
Five bursts of Sword Qi burst forth from his left hand. They were ferocious and domineering to the extreme, like a heavy sword without a sharp edge.
Five bursts of Sword Qi also burst forth from his right hand, but they were as soft as a whip, nimble and quick.
One righteous and one evil, one hard and one soft. The same type of Sword Qi was used in two different ways. The power that burst forth in that instant was too much for Lin Xiao's eyes to take in, but the excitement in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
"This is the Innate Invisible Sword Qi that I wanted to see!"
Lin Xiao spat out excitedly. His voice was like the clanging of metal, carrying with it the sound of a sword's cry.
"This is a killer move that I learned from the Seventeenth Manual of Swordplay. Only this move is worthy to compete with your Innate Invisible Sword Qi!"
The Frosted Snow Sword in Lin Xiao's hand swung back, and the Sword Qi burst forth like a divine light. However, the Sword Qi split into tens of thousands, and the sharpness of the Sword Qi turned into the softness of a finger. In an instant, an endless pulling force emerged, and Su Xin was like a prey that had fallen into a spider's web, unable to break free!
"This move, is called 'Sword Lure'!"
As Lin Xiao's voice trailed off, countless Sword Qi began to pull outwards. Not a single trace of Yuan Qi remained around Su Xin, as it was all sucked dry by the Sword Qi!
Su Xin waved both of his hands, and dozens of Sword Qi burst forth. Some were strong and domineering, some were sharp and soft, and some were sharp and corrosive. The formless and formless Sword Qi burst forth, and were combined into one by Su Xin. The shocking Sword Qi fell down, and the huge net formed by the Sword Qi shattered with a loud bang!
The violent Zhen Qi instantly filled the entire arena, and even the people within a hundred feet of the arena could feel the terrifying momentum.
The exchange between the two left the crowd of Xiantian warriors speechless. Was this really the destructive power of a Xiantian warrior?
The violent Zhen Qi dissipated, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust. The entire arena was in a state of desolation.
It had to be known that these arenas were made of steel that had been tempered a hundred times, and they were filled with bluestones that were comparable to copper and iron after being calcined. Yet, they were still unable to withstand the might of the battle between the two of them. One could only imagine the destructive power of the two of them.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding martial artists all took a step back. In the face of these two inhuman existences, it was best to stay as far away from them as possible.
On the arena, Lin Xiao's eyes were still filled with shock. "You don't have a sword in your hand, but you can evolve the purest Sword Qi. Moreover, it has the power of a heavy sword, the softness of a thin sword, and the sharpness of a long sword. To be able to comprehend the Way of the Sword to such a degree, just how did you do it?"
Without waiting for Su Xin to reply, Lin Xiao suddenly said, "Your Way of the Sword is so amazing, but why do you practice some kind of finger technique? Your nickname is the Blood Sword Divine Finger, and for you to use it is simply an insult to the Way of the Sword! "
To Lin Xiao, he really felt some pain in his heart towards Su Xin.
He had such a strong talent for the Way of the Sword, but he still practiced some kind of finger technique. This was simply a reckless waste of God's gifts.
If he could wholeheartedly practice the Way of the Sword, just how strong would his own strength be?
Su Xin smiled and said, "Sorry, I have never practiced the Way of the Sword. For me, the Way of the Sword is a kind of the Way of the Martial Arts. I will practice anything that can enhance my strength."
A trace of anger flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. "You are an insult to the Way of the Sword! A swordsman is king. Which other Martial Arts can compare to the Way of the Sword? "
If Lin Changhe was a Tao Addict, then Lin Xiao was a Sword Addict.
For him, there was only the Sword in this life, and the Sword was everything.
Therefore, Su Xin's words really angered Lin Xiao.
