472: Chapter 471: King of Fast Sword 472: Chapter 471: King of Fast Sword At this moment, even the True Dragon Geniuses felt a shiver in their hearts, they certainly wouldn’t provoke Lin Xuan again unless absolutely necessary.
However, not everyone thought this way, among them Xie Yijian fixated on Lin Xuan, his eyes bursting with terrifying War Intent.
As a Swordsman, he would inevitably face Lin Xuan in battle someday.
More so, he believed that although Lin Xuan’s Attack Power was fearsome, he could still not avoid his Fast Sword.
Having defeated Xue Yiren, the True Dragon Qi around Lin Xuan grew even stronger, already close to six Zhang.
With this True Dragon Qi, Lin Xuan found he could absorb the Black Dragon Flame even faster.
Returning to the resting area, Lin Xuan quickly absorbed the Black Dragon Flame.
His current Cultivation had reached the peak of the Early-stage Spirit Transformation Realm and would soon break into the Middle-stage Spirit Transformation Realm.
Such a speed of Cultivation would surely scare the wits out of many if known!
However, the reason for such rapid improvement was mainly because of the Black Dragon Flame.
The Energy contained within the Black Flames was too terrifying; after all, it had tormented a Venerable for nearly a hundred years, one could imagine the amount of Energy within the Flame.
Lin Xuan had absorbed for a long time, yet only approximately one-fifth.
Due to the battle with Xue Yiren, most people were shaken and did not dare to challenge Lin Xuan during this time.
He was quite content with this, cultivating while trying to merge both Mental Realm and Thunder and Fire Power.
Although merging Mental Realms proved to be more challenging than he had anticipated, the merging of Thunder and Fire Power was nearly complete.
At the same time, during this period, he gained insights from the Divine Sword Visualization Map, which improved his Sword Intent.
Even though he had not yet broken through to the Eighth Level, his proficiency had developed much more than before.
Just as Lin Xuan continued to cultivate, Xie Yijian took to the stage.
He first challenged the Martial Artist ranked thirtieth.
The opponent did not even see his sword-drawing motion before being defeated.
Afterward, Xie Yijian turned his gaze to Lin Xuan, his War Intent rising continuously.
Everyone was shocked, not expecting Xie Yijian to challenge Lin Xuan as well.
Compared to Xue Yiren’s frenzied fighting style, Xie Yijian’s Fast Sword was even more frightening.
Because, until now, no one had been able to see the trajectory of his sword-draw.
So fast that as soon as people reacted, the battle was already over.
“I think Xie Yijian might have a chance to defeat Lin Xuan, after all, no one can dodge his Fast Sword.”
“Yes, even the Martial Artist ranked thirtieth couldn’t withstand his Fast Sword.”
“Not necessarily, I think Lin Xuan is more formidable, don’t forget his terrifying Sword Intent, with a flicker it could extinguish everything.”
Opinions varied among the crowd, but it was evident they were all looking forward to this match.
As for Xie Yijian’s challenge, Lin Xuan gladly accepted.
As a Swordsman, he too wished to cross swords with all types of swordsmen.
Moreover, Xie Yijian being hailed as the king of Fast Sword, aroused his great interest.
Whether he could withstand Xie Yijian’s Fast Sword, Lin Xuan had no full confidence, after all, watching and experiencing firsthand are two different things.
Only when they truly crossed swords would he know.
Xie Yijian, decisive as ever, initiated with a Fast Sword Drawing Technique.
All one saw was Xie Yijian resheathing his sword, as if it had never moved.
While Lin Xuan stood there smiling, unmoved.
However, there appeared a deep Sword Mark beneath his feet.
What just happened?” The crowd was surprised, failing to understand.
The Sword Mark on the ground indicated that Xie Yijian had already made his move, but why wasn’t Lin Xuan injured?
The Sword Mark was deep, terrifyingly so, it was impossible for Lin Xuan not to have defended.
Yet the two seemed without motion.
Most people couldn’t understand, but the few top-ranked geniuses furrowed their brows.
Being exceptional talents, they obviously perceived what had just transpired.
In that instant, both men had moved, but too quickly to catch.
Xie Yijian performed the Fast Sword Drawing Technique, then sheathed his sword.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, spun his body rapidly, avoiding the Sword Qi, and quickly returned to his original position.
Because both of their speeds were extremely fast, it appeared as though neither had moved at all.
When the crowd realized this, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
The speed of these two was astonishing, deceiving the eyes of all present.
Fortunately, both were demon-level geniuses.
If it had been an ordinary martial artist from the Early-stage Spirit Transformation Realm who went up, they would probably have been killed in seconds.
“Actually dodging my Fast Sword Drawing Skill, that’s somewhat interesting,” Xie Yijian’s eyes sparkled with light.
“But, dodging the next won’t be so easy!”
He once again gripped the longsword at his waist.
Lin Xuan also held tightly to the Star Extreme Sword, poised and ready.
A flash of sword light, and a terrifying Sword Qi instantly arrived in front of him.
Lin Xuan’s pupils contracted sharply, the speed of this sword was several times faster than before.
He used the Void Spirit Illusion Demon Step, dodging at breakneck speed.
However, the Sword Qi still managed to slash through a large part of his protective defense.
The onlookers felt a surge of fear: “What a fast sword, Lin Xuan’s defenses were actually broken!”
“Worthy of the title King of Fast Sword!”
Zhao Xue, with a worried expression, knew that with even her strong soul power, she couldn’t completely lock onto the Sword Qi.
Lin Xuan must be experiencing the same.
“Kid, you absolutely must not get hurt!” Zhao Xue prayed in her heart.
The disciples of the Xie Family, on the other hand, were smiling.
Lin Xuan was strong, but against Xie Yijian, his chances of winning didn’t look good.
Once again, he dodged.
It seemed your strength truly was formidable.
“But the next sword, you certainly won’t be able to dodge!” Xie Yijian was very confident.
“Quickness Intent Realm.”
The next moment, sword light shone brightly.
This sword seemed to transcend the limits of distance, with its Sword Qi arriving instantly in front of Lin Xuan.
“It’s a Mental Realm!” Lin Xuan was shocked.
No wonder Xie Yijian was so fast, he had comprehended the Quickness Intent Realm.
Thinking this, Lin Xuan quickly exerted the Wind Realm, causing the surrounding air to move rapidly.
Greenish airflow vibrated, creating an immense resistance.
Under the influence of the Wind Realm, Xie Yijian’s Sword Qi revealed its true body.
“What, that’s possible too!”
The audience was astonished.
It was the first time they’d seen Xie Yijian’s Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi paused slightly, then sliced through the air resistance.
All this happened in an instant, but that moment of time was enough.
Lin Xuan used an extreme Step Technique to move to a safe location.
Then, he took a deep breath.
His thinking was correct.
No matter how fast the Sword Qi was, it still had to cut through the air.
By increasing the air resistance, he could slow down the speed of the Fast Sword.
Thus, to defeat Xie Yijian, he didn’t need to be faster than him but merely needed to slow down the speed of the Fast Sword.
“What strong resistance!” Xie Yijian’s expression darkened slightly.
Then he sneered coldly, don’t think that this could block my Fast Sword.
Xie Yijian drew his sword again, this time with not only terrifying speed but also explosive power.
Wherever it passed, the air burst open like Thunder Shock.
Lin Xuan’s Wind Realm was affected, becoming extremely unstable and reducing his influence over the Fast Sword to a minimum.
Once again, Lin Xuan was in danger from the Fast Sword.
Thankfully, his Void Spirit Illusion Demon Step was incredibly effective, allowing him to narrowly dodge wave after wave of Sword Qi.
However, this was not a solution.
If this continued for too long, he was likely to be hit again.
“Let’s try the Wind and Thunder Realm.”
